Battle of Karst Plateau - Vigilus Wastelands


 

Points: 2000.

Mission: Tear Down Their Icons.

Secondary Objectives: Bring It Down, No Prisoners and Raise The Banners High..

Opponent's Secondary Objectives: Blood For The Blood God, Pile The Skulls and The Blood God's Due.


The Karst Plateau was the site of an exhausting series of hand to hand engagements involving the World Eaters and the Rift Wardens, with severe casualties on both sides. The battle began with the Rift Wardens pouring fire into the oncoming berzerkers but soon devolved into a terrifying melee. The Rift Wardens lost around two thirds of their effective strength and were forced to retreat due to a combination of successive World Eater attacks and the unexpected arrival of Angron from the Warp.

On the following day the World Eaters overran and captured several Astra Militarum fire bases on the outskirts of the plateau. The Rift Wardens briefly recaptured several of these but were unable to repel the number of incoming enemy forces. Elsewhere in the region, the World Eaters were decimating other Imperial fortifications, severely hampering the Imperial efforts as these would have had important strategic value in future battles for the wastelands.
