Death Rider (Hardback)
Charge into the front lines of the Astra Militarum with Death Rider, a gripping tale of duty and sacrifice within the legendary Death Korps of Krieg. This premium hardback edition explores the unique and harrowing life of a Krieg Rough Rider, where the bond between soldier and steed is forged in the chemical-scalded mud of the galaxy's most brutal battlefields.
The Narrative
On the world of Krieg, life is a currency spent solely in the Emperor's name. For the Death Riders, this service takes a specialized form—mounted atop genetically modified and chemically emboldened horses, they represent a terrifying anachronism in an age of tanks and titans.
Death Rider follows the journey of a soldier within the 103rd Death Korps Regiment. As they are deployed to a world consumed by a grinding war of attrition, the narrative peels back the gas mask to reveal the cold, calculating discipline required to lead a cavalry charge into the teeth of modern firepower. It is a story of tradition, the crushing weight of ancestral guilt, and the grim satisfaction of a mission accomplished at any cost.
