The scouring of Deimos

 

After defeating the fleet orbiting the forgeworld of Deimos the knights of Dorn launch a massive assault on the planet, clashing with masses of cultists and two heretic warbands
The Hemidel crusade assembled in full
-Marshal Gheidon
-5x assault terminators
-Emperor's Champion
-Chaplian Grimaldus

-Devastator squad Pious
-Devastator squad Puritas
-Devastator squad Ignis
-Intercessor squad Baldouin
-Crusader squad Bohemond
-Ancient Tankred
Hordes of cultists form the bulk of the chaos force, but soon fall to the massed marine firepower
Safely hidden in a corner the heretics score several victory points
Gatling and laser cannons pummel the blasphemous foe
Suddenly a drop pod crases into the battlefield, disgorging a zealous crusader squad led by the Emperor's Champion himself
A bloody combat erupts in the ruins, and when the dust settles all the bersekers and most of the havocs have fallen to templar blades
Next turn Kharn and the Chaos Lord proceed to wipe out most of the crusader squad
While the chaos sorcerer and his buddies teleport into a crater
The Betrayer engages the Champion, but his fury is no match for the blademaster and is swiftly killed by the Emperor's chosen (again)
Marshal Gheidon and his sword brethern then show up
Then the dreadnought explodes, taking out most of the units within the ruin
Gheidon smushes some poor cultists
While the Champion slays the chaos lord
After such a holy slaughter of traitors the battle is won, praise be to the Emperor!
Having taken the forgeworld the Templars steel themselves for the inevitable heretic counterattack
