Battle Pass Season VIII: Interview with a Loremaster

Commanders!

The story of Battle Pass Season VIII takes place in the grim future of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Each chapter of Season VIII is dedicated to one of three factions in the universe: the Ultramarines, Chaos Death Guard, and Orks from the Evil Sunz clan. If you haven't already done so, there's no time like the present to pledge your allegiance to them and win spectacular rewards, including a unique commander for each chapter!

Death Guard Champion Dolgoth Sepk
Kroglin da Facegrinda of the Evil Sunz Orks

A competent, dependable, and level-headed officer, Lt. Thassius now commands the demi-company of the Ultramarines Second Battle Company. He worked his way up the ranks as an Impulsor operator and feels most at home with the pulse of gravitic plates beneath his boots and within the close confines of a battle tank. Commanding the Repulsor Executioner allows the Chapter to exploit his capabilities as an innovative and dangerous armor commander. With the knowledge of the ancient Standard Template Construct possibly falling into Xenos or Traitor hands, he would rather see it destroyed. But he is not ready to resign the Imperium’s legacy to that fate without a concerted fight.

Dolgoth Sepk is a Champion in the Death Guard’s 5th Company, known as the Poxmongers. He is not an overly ambitious person choosing instead to wallow slothfully in the blessings of Grandfather Nurgle’s gifts. However, whenever presented with the opportunity to impede or frustrate the efforts of his corpse-worshipping brethren, he will rise to the occasion and can be counted on to conduct his mission sheerly out of pure spite. If he can damage the Ultramarines in any way, he will. He undertakes the current mission to retrieve the Standard Template Construct with great zeal, for it means an accelerated path to the conquest of worlds in the heart of Ultramar and dealing a hammer blow to the so-called loyalists there.

Kroglin da Facegrinda, also known as the Mekaniak Facegrinda, is always in pursuit of two things: more speed and more Dakka. Anything that doesn’t contribute to those two characteristics he tends to ignore. He doesn’t care what’s in the ruins on the planet Tahnicus Mundi, only that the shiny gubbins within will bring all kinds of Beakies to krump, and maybe he can loot one of their floaty tanks so he can get, you guessed it, more speed and more Dakka!

What Makes Season VIII Special?

The mechanics remain the same: activate a Battle Pass Chapter and complete its Progression Stages to earn rewards. But this time, you will be able to enjoy a unique story with futuristic visual and narrative elements from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and an epic confrontation between three commanders from the grimdark future. These mighty champions will become your recruits after you complete their respective Chapters:

Volusad Thassius, commanding the X E 100
Dolgoth Sepk of the Death Guard, at the helm of the X Object 430U
Kroglin da Facegrinda, in the fiery-red X STB-1

And while you smash your way through the Stages, you will earn exclusive customizations straight from the Warhammer universe!

Each Battle Pass Stage has two Reward Tracks: Base Rewards and Improved Rewards. The Base Rewards Track contains plenty of goodies that you can obtain for free, but if you want even more, you'll need an Improved Pass to get the prizes in the Improved Rewards Track.
