The harrowing of Ulthor

 

Retaking the Agripina A campaign after the easter hiatus we are back with a 40k game. After beating the chaos filth in space the Imperium invades the corrupted world of Ulthor

Seizing the first turn knights of house Cervaria and their household troops rush for the objectives, laying a curtain of fire that almost kills the enemy knight despoiler

In the chaos turn the giant engine aims all its guns into a lone armiger and blows it up

In the second turn the imperials assault the chaos lines, laying waste to both cultists and marines

Concentrated fire kills the despoiler, the final blow being delivered by a lascannon team from the household squad protecting the objective in the imperial deployment zone

Thanks to a stratagem a badly mauled armiger surges forward and kills its opponent with melta guns and a chain reaper to the face

Safely located in the imperial backfield the leman russ squadron bombards the chaos lines, killing a terminator squad and then the second armiger

A bit too late the chaos reinforcements show up on the battlefield

A chaos lord charges suicidally into the Cervaria lancer

While its terminator colleague is melted by a termal cannon

Kharn manages to come on top in his duel against the armiger, but all the khorne berzekers have been deleted by the relic gatling cannon of the crusader knight

The chaos lord is also squished

With so many losses the battle ends with a brilliant imperial victory 55 to 0

Thanks to this victory the imperials are one step closer to winning the campaign
