Under the command of Captain Lorgraine, his battle brothers attacked the massing Alpha Legionnaires at Golgotha.

Hydra Dominatus - Gehenna Prime

Points: 2000.

Deployment and Mission: Sweeping Engagement / Raise Banners.

Primary Objective: Burden Of Trust.

Detachment: Vanguard Spearhead.

Opponents Detachment: Deceptors.

When contact was lost with the mining colony on Gehenna Prime, Imperial forces investigated and found that the planet had turned from the Emperor's Light - corrupted by the Alpha Legion. Armies were mobilised and dispatched to liberate the system. The Rift Wardens joined the crusade fleet and were one of the first forces to engage the enemy.

The initial engagement was a pivotal battle and involved the majority of the Rift Wardens chapter, operating under captain Mallegant. Further north, the few loyalist PDF forces also supported their attack. South of the main force, Artthurus led a coordinated attack along the main front. The objective was to break through one of the most heavily defended stretches of the Alpha Legion lines. The assault achieved its objectives, resulting in the first full breach of the enemy positions, in the face of heavy enemy resistance.  In concert with other attacks across Gehenna Prime, the Alpha Legion command began to feel that they were unlikely to hold off the Imperial forces.
