Ulthor Primaris

 

With my father we've begun a campaign set in the Agripina A sector, we will combine BFG and 40K games to determine the fate of this key zone of the Segmentum Obscurus in the months following the fall of Cadia. Last year we fought over the cadian gate and the imperials came up on top, we'll see how they do this year.

Chaos got first move and seized the plague stricken Ulthor sector, a move that was swiftly answered by the Imperial Navy

The imperials enter the system and a furious battle ensues in the mercurial zone surrounding the star of Ulthor Primaris

In the right two dictators and one tyrant square off against three devastation cruisers

A massive Retribution battleship opens fire on the enemy Repulsive grand cruiser

The dictator squadron powers towards the heretics, unleashing torpedo and bomber waves

That hit true, crippling and then destroying the closest devastation

After being crippled by the Retribution, the chaos flagship goes down to another torpedo salvo

Some marine dreadclaws reach the Retribution but are destroyed by turret fire

The tyrant then turns to starboard and opens fire into the chaos cruisers

The devastations keep close and move ahead, damaging some launch bays with a dreadclaw assault

One of the heretic vessels cannot turn, and the imperials move behind and bracket them 

Destroying one with massed macrocannon fire

And the other with a concentrated bomber wing

Ravaged by lance fire, the last chaos cruiser is finally destroyed by torpedoes

The Imperium controls the space over Ulthor and starts a land invasion that will be played after Easter
