The Battle of Morvaal Ridge - Pariah


Points: 2000.

Deployment and Mission: Search And Destroy / Secret Intel.

Primary Objective: Purge The Foe.

Detachment: Gladius Task Force.

Opponents Detachment: Awakened Dynasty.


The battle of Morvaal Ridge was a large offensive mounted by the Necrons against the Imperial attackers at Hell's Point. Morvaal Ridge was well fortified and the Rift Warden defenders fought with great determination, while the Necron co-ordination of infantry and artillery declined after the first day, due to confused fighting in the maze of trenches, dug-outs and shell-craters. The final Necron objectives were not reached for several days. Organisational difficulties and deteriorating weather frustrated the space marines, whose forces became disjointed and declined in effectiveness, and at the same time a revival occurred in the Necron forces. The Rift Wardens struggled with withstand the vast numbers of oncoming warriors and walking machines. The battle of Morvaal Ridge saw the Rift Wardens hold for now, but suffered the worst casualties to date in the war for the Pariah Nexus.
