TURN 5
Initiative: BLACK LEGION
<< Kill! Kill 'em all! Blood for the blood God! >>Sarok-Awrath, Black Legion Khorne Daemon Prince, commander of the blitz force on the space port.
By hours Harald Deathwolf, the commander of the fifth great company, was able to hold tightly in his fist the battle. After a preliminary approach, the first skirmishes, and skirmish after skirmish the two sides have come to the clash. Hard and crude, cruel and without mercy. The legion spewed from hell, the black legion, fall into the trap of the space wolves' planetfall and seems on the verge of defeat, but the appearance of Sarok Awrath on the battlefield with his terminators company puts into question again the outcome of the battle. On the huge bridge, which has become a tomb for the bravest and fearsome warriors of the universe, is about to take place the last face to face.
OST - Dune - Main Theme
The tempestive arrival of the chaos terminators sudden snatches the situation from the space wolves's hand. The terminators devotees of Khorne ruled by the daemon prince Sarok Awrath teleport side by side at the Khorne retinue, on the bridge. Everything happens in a handful of minutes, a brief hesitation in the astartes' decision will be fatal. Sarok Awrath , with a wild cry, order the charge of both Khorne retinues. The Materium is torn again, but this time, are dozens of bloodletters to be regurgitated from hell, while the winged shadow of a Greater Daemon of Khorne stands upon the bridge. The space Wolves close ranks, the twenty loyalist terminators are achieved by many chaos terminators, while the daemon horde and the Greater Daemon break the space wolves' ranks, followed immediately by the rest of the retinues. The bridge becomes in a few minutes the scene of an apocalyptic clash. Dreadgnoughts, scouts, loyalists and chaotic terminators, chaos and loyalist tactical marines, rhinos, razorbacks, land raiders. A wild melee with no holds barred, outrageous and spectacular, does boil the great bridge of death, honor and epic glory.
At the height of the battle, Sarok Awrath screaming the name of Harald Deathwolf, seek him, he wants him under his axe in a duel, and the space wolves great captain answer. The bodyguards retinue of the two commanders assault one another, while the two heores are fighting furiously, both seriously injured fall to the ground. Sarok Awrath is dragged away from the battle, wounded and screaming, now beaten while Harald Deathwolf retreats also seriously wounded, hold up by his most loyal warriors. Alive, but both defeated.
The battle is coming to an end, and as the Marines have sold their lives dearly, the bridge becomes their tomb. Serious are the losses in the ranks of the devotees of the blood god, but the wolves are overwhelmed: only the company of Harald Deathwolf manages to escape the massacre, slightly damaged, with some survivors of the other detachments in tow. The assault is lost, but the battle for the chaos is far from be won.
The space wolves, even without the voice of their leader, proceed by following their own instincts, and return to attack. Asymmetric warfare. Schemes and tactics refined in those ten millennia that separate them from their traitor cousins. The assault marines detachment assault the land raider retinue, and thanks to the support fire of the landing vessel, the vindicators and devastators, destroy completely the chaos tanks, gaining the chaos primary objective.
The black legion reacts rapidly and run to contest its primary objective, which is the access to the main landing platform, with what remains of the raptors cult and warbikes, carefully avoiding the contact with the enemy. On the other side, what remains of the immense Nurgle's horde prepares an overwatch fire, while some tactical space marines advance and challenge the respective primary objective, bringing the battle to a stalemate.
The black legion forces have undoubtedly hit hard with the conquest of the bridge, but the impetus is now vanished. Whizzing across the sky now undisputed two bombers hell talion, opening fire on the landing vessel, the devastator and the vindicators, without great effect, while the swifth death interceptors carry out an air patrol control maneuver.
The Space Wolves, now, see one and only one chance to win, and run through with determination, fighting until the end of their strengths.
OST - Bathory - The MessengerMilitarily, for both sides, the losses are very high. The conflict has reached a level of ferocity of rare magnitude. Advance the vindicators, advance the last two land speeders and advance the devastators detachement unleashing on the chaos warbike a firestorm, forcing them to retreat and driven back their devils in the warp. One after the other the astartes detachemtns have take position. By diminishing the enemy, now only the chaos raptors cult stands to defend their primary objective. If it fall into the hands of space wolves, they will have won the battle.
Wisely, in the previous hour, the thunderhawk had landed only one of the two assault detachments embarked, and now all hopes are pinned to victory in this final, decisive air assault. The vindicators, the devastators, the land speeders, everyone is ready to unleash their support fire in the next engage. The thunderhawk hurtling into the sky. A thunder. A short but intense roar pierces the evening, but quickly three long trails are following it. Three swifth death Interceptors fighters. The thunderhawk with an elusive maneuver evades the obliterators flak fire, but three interceptor's missiles going to sign. The fuselage holds the first, but the second and third impact deeply on the right wing, destroying it. The thunderhawk reaches the destination , lands, falls with all its crew before the astonished eyes of their fellow brothers, turning into a fireball. The last chance of victory, for the space wolves, has vanished in flames.
Now the stall is complete. The forces of the black legion and of the space wolves are no longer able to fight, but time rewards the dark forces, which in this black hour seem to celebrate their most undeserved victory. The loyalist marines, on the sector of the space port not yet touched by the conflict, bring into operation the imperial class ship Unicorn, and recovered their detachments with the landing vessel, after less than an half hour, leave the sector, defeated. The Imperial ships depart, as makes his entrance, triumphant, the black legion flagship class "Luna", thus consolidating the strategic victory of the chaos forces. So the curtain falls on Abeldar's war, a war started by the Eldar, and finished by the dark demonic powers of the Immaterium.
