Forged in Battle by Justin Hunter

Sigmund and his Ragged Company may not be the most refined soldiers in the armies of the Empire, but when the massed forces of Chaos are bearing down on you in all their horror, you don't worry too much about shiny uniforms and marching in time. Local farmsteads are falling prey to the feral beastmen. Something is going on and as the beastmen finally amass to take Sigmund's home town Helmstrumburg by force, the Ragged Company must get to the bottom of these sinister events and unravel the secrets of an ancient prophecy whilst fighting for their lives!
