This is the second book of three covering the Siege of Vraks. Links for all the books are:
Ten years into the bitter siege, Arkos of the Alpha Legion sent a psychic signal that called others in the Eye of Terror to join the plunder. The resulting fleet removed the Imperial Navy from around Vraks, severing supply lines for the loyalist planetside troops. Further, the Chaos ships then dropped reinforcements to the surface, including warbands of Chaos Space Marines, and Titans of the Legio Vulcanum.

"The Apostles of Contagion sweep forward through the sickly green light of their chemical weapons attack"
It was another year before a relief Imperial fleet arrived to secure the system, successfully landing more men, supplies, and 22 Titans of the Legio Astorum. This allowed the breaching of the third defence line, and two further battle fronts were opened: aircraft duelling in the skies, and engineers mining underground. After a year of tunnelling operations, the curtain wall was finally breached using underground explosives, but fighting continued without abating.

"Shrouded in acidic smog, as well as destroying the enemy, Nurgle's forces were also poisoning Vraks' surface"

Chaos Dreadnought of the Deathguard. Like all those who have aligned themselves with the power of the Plague Lord and received his favour, disease and decay have covered the hull. This decay seems to have no effect of the Dreadnought's operations.

Captured Land Raider in the early stages of decay. So far this vehicle has only become heavily rusted.

Nurgle Predator of the Apostles of Contagion warband.

Nurgle Rhino of the Purge warband, destroyed during fighting against the 19th Siege regiment.
The Dark Tongue runes on the Rhino read "Aarh'nurgh'lem".
"With every death on Vraks our victory comes closer. There is no army in the galaxy that can stop the forces we began to invoke so many years ago. Soon they shall be unleashed at our bidding!"
— Deacon Mamon - declared Extremis Diabolus by the Conclave of Scarus 2059826.M41
After a full fourteen years of warfare without success, the Departmento Munitorum downgraded the importance of the campaign, limiting the available future reinforcements. A Space Marine strike force of Red Scorpions agreed to aid the effort, which was enough for the Imperial army to finally breach the curtain wall, leaving just the central fortress to conquer.
Then Lord Inquisitor Hector Rex of the Ordo Malleus arrived and indentured the Imperial Guard army due to portents that pointed to an imminent breach in the warp, leaving all the men in danger from a new enemy.

Renegade Chimera encountered during the fighting at the curtain wall breach.

Malcador Defender with its original markings over-painted with Chaos runes.
The Dark Tongue runes on the turret of the Chimera are the number 139, and the runes on the hull read "Bomchiquar'waa'waa" (boomchickawawa). And on the turret of this Malcador Defender are the number 6 and the word "Nurgle".

Chaos Defiler encountered by the 19th Siege regiment.

Chaos Defiler of the Apostles of Contagion warband.
This book's Servants of Slaughter version of the Renegades and Heretics army list covers the Khorne-worshipping sections of the Chaos forces.

Perhaps the most singular and most disturbing Chaos Dreadnoughts belong however to the Death Guard Legion. These monstrous creations are alive with organic corruption, their hulls blistered with oozing sores and weeping, filth encrusted wounds and other stigmata of the Plague God Nurgle. What living nightmare is experienced by the occupant of such a vile and horrific machine is best left unimagined.

Imperial Armour 6 was published in July 2008, the same month as the 5th edition Warhammer 40,000 rules. But the forces listed above refer to earlier publications using 4th edition rules. Specifically, the 2007 Codex: Chaos Space Marines for the main attacking force (excluding the reserves), 2003's Imperial Armour 1 (a 3rd edition book) for the defending Leman Russ, and 2007's Imperial Armour 5 for all other units.
The forces are deliberately out of balance in terms of points values, in favour of Chaos:
And that doesn't take into account the imbalance in the special rules: the attacker's Preliminary Chemical Attack and additional opportunity to gain Victory points, and the asymmetrical terms of deployment. Note that using the Apostate Preacher profile in IA6 (Apostate Preacher of Khorne) rather than IA5, the plasma pistol costs 15 points rather than 10 points.
