The Templar's judgement

After almost two months of gaming the Agripina A campaign is coming to a close. The chaos hordes have been cornered at the agriworld of Sarlax, and the Black Templars bring their crusade fleet to give the deathblow to the last traitor holdout
The battlebarge Light of Purity leds the invasion, launching boarding torpedoes and thunderhawks
On the other side of the System three strike cruisers face off against the might of the Planet Killer
The traitors use the first turn to turn 90º towards the imperials
While the Templars close distance with the loathed foe
In the void of space squadrons of both fleets dogfight ahead of their mother vessels
A struggle that goes in favor of the crusaders of Dorn, who proceed to cleanse the enemy cruisers with bolter and chainsword, causing several criticals
The Light of Purity joins the onslaught opening fire at extreme range
The Planet Killer meanwhile avoids almost all damage thanks to her impressive turret array
Under heavy bombardment and with Templars in her belly a chaos devastation is crippled
The strike cruisers turn over Sarlax to keep out of range of the Armageddon gun
But the chaos behemoth wirhstands their puny fire
In a futile attempt to escape the chaos cruiser enters the gas nebula, but is cut down by the battlebarge

After firing the Armageddon gun at the Light of Purity, the Planet Killer loses all weapons to several waves of thunderhawk gunships
Time has run out, and with a chaos ship lost for a crippled strike cruiser the Imperium achieves victory in the Sarlax system. Keep in touch for the gran finale of the campaign where the imperials will land to purge the agriworld of heretics
