Operation Scimitar - Vigilus Wastelands


Points: 2000.

Mission: Recover The Relics.

Secondary Objectives: Engage On All Fronts, Oaths Of Moment and Raise The Banners High. 

Opponent's Secondary Objectives: Adorn The Canvas Eclectic, Engage On All Fronts and Retrieve Battlefield Data.


Operation Scimitar was a long range pre-emptive operation by the Rift Wardens against a force of Emperor's Children who had occupied a vital water source in the depths of the wastelands.

The water source was located in the deserts south of Mortwald Hivesprawl along a well used supply route. The raid was carried out by a company of Rift Wardens led by Captain Lorgraine, supported by small outrider squads and a single repulsor executioner. Although the Rift Wardens had fought on Vigilus for a couple of years at this point, this would be one of the most significant victories the chapter had managed to this point.

The raid was a complete success for the Rift Wardens. For the cost of only a handful of battle brothers and the outriders, the chapter slew the chaos marines to a man and returned the water source to Imperial control.
