Signus: gilded wreck

 In the second game of the campaign the Legio Custodes defends the fallen battleship Red Tear from hordes of daemons intent on slaying the wounded Sanguinius recovering inside. The objective of this mission will be seizing control of the loyalist deployment zone.
 Newly updated Talons army (1500pts)

HQ
Prefect Kalimak Sebran, solerite gauntlet, praesidium shield
Excruciatus cadre, stake-crossbows, neurolash

Troops
Custodian guard, adrasite spears
Sentinel guard
Sentinel guard

Fast Attack
Agamatus squad, adrathic destructors

Heavy Support
Telemon dreadnought, iliastus accelerator culevrin
 The custodes got the initiative and moved the bikes and the infiltrating sisters
 The excruciatus cadre aims their crossbows and oneshots the daemon lord
 The possessed are savaged by the Telemon's barrage
 In the first chaos turn flying daemons appear
 Two further units are deployed in the back, truly the ways of chaos are inscrutable
 The flying lessers are mauled by massed fire
 While Kalimak barges into a unit of bloodletters
 Even more neverborn materialise from the vortex
 The sisters of silence fight a bitter combat with two daemons for several turns
 With most of the chaos army pinned in the rearguard, a unit of sentinels comes out of the deployment zone to pin the nearest enemies in place
 With a timely charge
 The excruciatus kill off the warp spawn like its nobody's business
 The remaining neverborn show up in the last turns
 Only for the great unclean one to be blasted off the table by adrathic devastators
 Another unit is exterminated in combat
 And the prefect wipes out the last of his opponents
 The last daemons launch desperate charges
 To no avail
 The Talons of the Emperor slash without pity His foes
 Ganging up on the two remaining squads
Battle comes to an end with a resounding loyalist victory!

Campaign reward: unshakeable defence
All loyalists are stubborn in their deployment zone during the rest of the campaign
