Battle of Ascension Hive (Outer District) - Grendel

 


Points: 1000.

Mission: Ascension.

Secondary Objectives: Grind Them Down, Raise The Banners High and Warp Ritual.

Opponent's Secondary Objectives: Assassination, Engage On All Fronts and Raise The Banners High.


The settlement of Ascension Hive was in the rear of the Rift Warden territory but after recent engagements it now became the front line. Some of the first fighting in the outer district involved the stand of chapter master Arthurus. The chapter master went out with a handful of battle brothers and a lone dreadnought preventing advancing Grey Knights from reaching their flanks.

On the morning, the Grey Knights assaulted the Rift Wardens west flank. Despite a hard fought engagement the Rift Wardens were pushed into the interior of the hive city, and the Grey Knights captured the outer the districts. Over the next three days the Rift Wardens attacked the Grey Knights repeatedly but each time they were forced back. Despite many casualties, the chapter participated without respite in the battles in the north and south districts. Unfortunately the chapter was now surrounded and the war took to the streets.
