Blackstone IV

I see fortresses in the stars

A circle of six

But they sleep yet, and must be awakened 

 

Ride upon the stroms of chaos

Gather your rivals around you

Send discord and terror throughout a thousand worlds

Abbadon the Despoiler, Warmaster of Chaos

Seek the Hand of Darkness

Take the Eye of Night

 With these, the citadels will be yours to command 

 

A chorus of a billion throats

will cry your name in fear and hatred

The stars themselves will run red with blood

If you have the courage for it... Warmaster 

 

Moriana's prophecy

The Imperial Navy defends Blackstone IV: the retribution battleship Bloodhawk, the cruisers Hammer of Justice and Invincible (in red) and the dominator class Fortitude (top right) with a scattering of fireships

Battle starts with long range nova cannon shots that set an enemy strike cruiser on fire

The Bloodhawk veers to starboard and opens up with her broadside

The lines close up, with attack squadrons crossing no man's space

A fireship valiantly nukes herself, setting most of the enemy fleet on fire

Hammer of justice cripples an enemy vessel, which would burn up in the final phase

The strike cruiser Skalathrax also burns to a crisp after recieving repeated nova cannon hits

The Unforgivable is set upon by three imperials wich reduce her to a burning hulk under merciless broadsides of macrocannon, bombing runs and torpedo hits

Lagging behind, one transport is struck by torpedoes and destroyed

After crossing the enemy line, the Foe-Reaper and the smaller Deathbane move towards the Blackstone

But with half of his fleet destroyed, the chaos player decides to call it a day
