Starting May 22 and until June 9, to celebrate Skulls, the forces of Nurgle will be stirring in Darktide with the Admonition Ascendant Special Event. During this time-limited event, players will encounter Nurgle totems across missions. Destroying them will summon Chaos Spawns, but beware as these totems also buff nearby enemies, making every encounter more dangerous.

To make the Skulls celebration extra special, Admonition Ascendant will award more than dockets, plasteel, and diamantine, players will also get to earn a total of 500 aquilas throughout the event that they will be able to use in the Commodores Vesture to purchase discounted weapon skins.

Skulls will also be celebrated in the Mourningstar, with skull decorations, shrines, and event-themed banners transforming the hub into a fitting tribute to the Imperium’s most grimdark traditions.



Four cosmetic sets return to the Commodore’s Vestures
As part of the Skulls celebration from May 22 to June 5, several premium cosmetics will return to the Commodore’s Vestures for a limited time, offering players a chance to represent iconic forces from across the Imperium: Magistratum Enforcers, Heroes of Armageddon (Steel Legion), Death Korps of Krieg and the Elysian Drop Troopers.

Make sure to tune in at Skulls tonight for our big reveal tonight at 18:00 CEST / 09:00 PT! https://www.twitch.tv/warhammer
