Battle of Venstran Crater - Kaelac's Bane


Power Level: 50.

Mission: Recon Patrol.

Agendas: Angels of Death and Reaper.

Opponent's Agendas: Lord of the Warp and Paths of Fate.


In the early evening, a force of Aeldari emerged from the webway and launched an attack upon the Rift Warden force searching for the gate's location. Initially the Rift Wardens suffered heavy casualties from the surprise attack and the chapter's units found themselves separated among the ice sheets with large areas left undefended. The Aeldari then deployed a variety of aspect warriors to further gun down the space marines.

Casualties were heavy but the further the Aeldari progressed the more they over-extended themselves and this would prove to be their downfall. Chapter master Arthurus arrived on the Aeldari left flank with a dreadnought and his own bladeguard bodyguards and they leapt into the fray against the alien aggressors. Together they counter-attacked the Aeldari. Some small arms fire was exchanged but the Aeldari could not down enough of them and soon the tables were turned. 

After losing heavy casualties, the Aeldari retreated to the webway portal and fled back inside. Not only had they lost many warriors but the Imperium know knew the exact location of the portal and would be ready for their return.
