Here's another thing you could try: don't say what the Macguffin is. The most powerful Macguffins(dramatically powerful, I mean) are those that the audience knows least about. Maybe you could start with something like this:

'There is a great disturbance in the Warp: from deep beneath the planet's surface something has arisen, something that has remained unseen and unknown since the universe was young. Drawn by the ineluctable pull of the warp the factions gather to claim it: the Eldar and their dark cousins hurry to claim it; the forces of Chaos marshall for a dark crusade, drawn by the beacon of power; the foul and soulless Necrons stir, determined to destroy it; all descend on the ignorant defenders of Humanity, who see only their enemies diving upon the planet, and knowing only that they must die in its defense.'

Just an idea.
