Signus: a foe revealed

 We're doing a short heresy campaign just before holidays, since the Signus book came out recently we'll play that campaign with some tweaks
 The first game sees the deamonic hordes led by a fearsome demon lord
 Face off against Sanguinius and his sons
 Massed bolter fire causes two wounds on the bad boss

 Spewed out from the warp vortex, the first daemon infantry joins the fray
 Papa Sang flies forwards
 A squad of termies charge the newcomers
 The primarch and his guard assault the enemy warlord
 Killing him in a flurry of blows
 The combat between the infantry is tied up
 Next turn, even more daemons show up, including a Great Unclean One plus some lessers
 Flying neverborn swoop into the center of the battlefield
 The termis are having a bad time, but they refuse to flee
 Sanguinius breaks off from the Sanguinary Guard to take on the greater daemon
 Felling it with his Spear of Telesto
 Battle erupts in the center with the daemons holding on with double one
 The guard destroys some possessed chaff

 However the daemonic forces keep showing up
 A Blood Angel centurion defends the central objective
 Sanguinius is assaulted by bloodletters, but he kills a score of them without breaking sweat
 A unit of termis dies to the foe
 Finally a massive charge on the primarch only causes him one wound

 The battle ends 9-3 with victory to the loyalists.

Campaign Reward: Hardened Soul
Loyalist units during the campaign are inmune to fear
