Points: 2500.
Mission: Open War Deck.
Chernobog, a haunted polluted ruin whose sands run with spilled promethium and worse chemicals. Reports have reached Imperial command that a daemonic incursion has arisen within these wastelands and it's existence cannot be allowed to continue. The Rift Wardens and Sons of Orar chapters are tasked with working together to eliminate this threat.
As the chapters approached the blighted area from the northeast, they encountered numerous daemons and decimated them with massed firepower. The space marines spread out to surround and contain the threat. Alavaan, chapter master of the Sons of Orar ordered Arthurus to hold his Rift Wardens back to keep a secure perimeter, but typically, Arthurus refused and led his battle brothers into the fray.
Alavaan advanced with his three companies but due to Arthurus' refusal to be led, the Sons of Orar were forced to adapt their strategies on the fly. The Rift Wardens charged in, bolters firing and backed up by several dreadnoughts. Alavaan once again ordered Arthurus to fall back, but the Rift Wardens chapter master refused, stating "We shall break the engagement only when the enemy is dead!" Although disobediant, the Rift Wardens were able to handle the daemonic assault and flank the enemy.
A furious frontal attack broke the daemon lines and the forced them into the blades of the Sons of Orar. The daemonic incursion was defeated. Both chapters then dispatched Librarians to flood the area with psychic energy, closing the portals once and for all. The battle was won but an already growing enmity between the two chapters was reaching boiling point.
