Description: Commissar Cain and his regiment of Valhallan Guardsmen are assigned to the iceworld of Simia Orichalcae to protect an important promethium refinery from an ork horde. As they pepare for the greenskins attack Cain learns of the mysterious disappearances of several miners. He leads a patrol down into the ice caves to investigate and discovers an ancient alien menace that threatens the Imperium. Faced by enemies both from above and below, Commissar Cain must find a way to get the regiment safely off the planet (thus saving his own butt).
