“shambling hordes of Poxwalkers… Marching alongside
them through dense clouds of buzzing Warp-flies are
Nurgles’ grim tallymen of decay, the Plaguebearers.”
“Spearheading this unholy tide are the terrifying Plague
Marines, foul, corrupted Heretic Astartes”
Bit of story telling in event unlocks but mostly self related to the Daemon Host rituals… doomed to fail with incomplete text and originating from fringe worlds /neighboring systems …yet book of Admonition may have been inspiration for Admonition’s name and origin and whoever the bringer was across such distances…
sadly its more of player/enemy stats relating to our character’s (minus hive scum) and the enemies (Mobian 6th traitor, pox walker, plauge bearer, Plague Marine, Beast of Nurgle) sadly not much lore as compared to previous release of Darktide Extraction… and don’t want to get in trouble for posting too much of its content… but here was most of the pages on new enemies…
I think Daemonhost Gormaggoth’s lore revealed to us what happened in M35.
To almost destroy an extremely powerful sector, an ordinary demon or a warband of traitor space marines cannot do it. According to the lore revealed by Dan this time, Gormaggoth should at least be a daemon prince (in Dark Heresy, Daemon princes can become daemonhosts). Due to the close association of the Moebian Sector, I guess the daemon army he led is most likely one of the main forces of the M35’s darktide.
Let’s go back to the latest darktide supplement book from wrath & glory. We all know that the lore from wrath&glory is just side story of darktide. As side story, it is reasonable for the strike team to deal with a few traitor space marines, given that we are facing enemies of Gormaggoth’s level in the main storyline.

Well both are Wrath & Glory but the first “Darktide: Extractions” (112pgs) definitely a long side mission encountering non-hostile cults, mutants, old tech and facing cultists, plague bearers, rare GSC, traitors, infested Ogryn boss, and a Daemon capable of killing billions if the team fails… some Space Marines are much lesser than that threat too..
This second one “Hammer of Tertium” (33pgs) is more of a character suppliment without a mission but some added details and expanding enemy roster.
