The Second Battle of Chernobog - Vigilus Wastelands


Points: 2000.

Mission: Conversion.

Secondary Objectives: Assassination, Bolster Barricades and Engage On All Fronts.

Opponent's Secondary Objectives: Despoilers of Reality, Nourished By Terror and Reality Rebels.


The second battle of Chernobog was a battle in the Vigilus Campaign that took place near the site of that polluted ruin. It would prove a victory for the daemons of Chaos but one that they would struggle to replicate later in the war.

On the day of the battle, a Rift Wardens patrol came under attack by a fresh horde of daemons. After the initial assault, the space marines were forced to retreat to a nearby fortification. Meanwhile the daemons poured forth from the corrupted ruins of Chernobog and spread out into the wastelands. On the second day, the Rift Wardens found themselves once again assaulted by a horde of daemonettes. Little was achieved by either side after two days of fighting, other than a reduction in fighting strength of the Rift Wardens.

On the third day, the space marines were attacked from the east by new force of Slaanesh daemons led by more powerful daemons. The Rift Wardens put up a desperate fight but by the end of the day were forced to retreat. With no one to stop them, the Slaaneshi daemons dispersed into the wastelands only to attack Imperial convoys or assaulting the walls of the great Hivesprawls.
