Second Battle of Arnmort Gate - Mortwald


Points: 2000.

Deployment and Mission: Sweeping Engagement / Prepared Positions.

Primary Objective: Terraform.

Detachment: Anvil Siege Force.

Opponents Detachment: Veterans Of The Long War.


The second battle of Arnmort Gate was fought over two days by Abaddon and his Black Legion against the Rift Warden defenders. Together with two other attacks on the wall, it was one of three battles breaching the walls of Mortwald. The Black Legion breached the walls despite the Rift Wardens opposition under captain Lorgraine. Abaddon had his own plans for Mortwald and planned to conquer the outer districts as quickly as possible. 

Further Black Legion reinforcements arrived by drop pod and the Arnort Gate district fell to their control eight days later. The Rift Wardens did not have defensive lines or barricades so resorted to brutal close quarters fighting within the abandoned hab blocks. Slowly, they forced the space marines out and into the heart of the hive.
