Second Battle of Hesperous Gate - Hesperous Prime


Points: 2000.

Deployment and Mission: Search and Destroy / Inspired Leadership.

Primary Objective: Scorched Earth.

Detachment: Gladius Task Force.

Opponents Detachment: Vanguard Onslaught.


With the war dragging out for weeks, the Lion gave orders for Azrael to launch an attack on the Hesperous Gate, which was being defiantly held by the Rift Wardens chapter, while he led an assault elsewhere to breach the city walls.

Azrael's forces attacked the game two days later but due to expertly designed defence works, the attack failed. Chief Librarian Uther then counter-attacked but was unable to defeat the Dark Angels forces present. The Dark Angels counter-attacked twice, but were unable to breach the gate. Azrael pulled his battle brothers back and dispatched a third of them to assault a second nearby gateway. When the Dark Angels forces withdrew in different directions, Uther was able to transform the initial success of the counter-attack into a general defeat of Azrael and his battle brothers. The disintegration of the Dark Angels lines was remarkably rapid.
