Greetings Citizens,
This week the tide has turned. The fates have conspired
against Titus and the great Crusade. The enemies of the Imperium
have fought well and hard to swing control back in their favour.
The score now stands at 4-1 in favour of the Antagonists, it remains
to be seen if the forces of the Imperium can recover from this startling
swing in momentum.
Lets get the latest developments from the front.
The green tide is rising on Silex Silicis IV. The Orks of Kownt
Toofa, encouraged by the reclamation of the ‘Gorks Thunder’ Gargant,
have taken up the offensive against the invading Templars. The
Kownt has revealed a force of Ork Roks hidden within the Silex
asteroid belt and struck a surprise blow to the Templar fleet.
With their fleet engaged the Astartes forces on the ground are
left without re-enforcements or the ability to re-deploy in the
face of an overwhelming Ork assault. The Templars have turned an
Ork fort, cleansed in the early days of the war, into a defensive
point. If they are overwhelmed there the Crusade against Kownt
Toofa may well fail.
In the midst of a sea of dire news the world of Lochtelli I remains
an island of hope. A small force of Black Templars successfully
sabotaged one of the largest Hive Ships in orbit above the embattled
world. This desperate gamble allowed the combined Imperial Navy
and Black Templar fleet to isolate and destroy the crippled vessel.
This great victory has succeeded in disrupting the Tyranid forces
on the ground, allowing Imperial troops to gain much ground that
was lost to the invaders. It seems the light of the Emperor shines
brightly on Lochtelli I.
The Crusaders have claimed victory in this
weeks Critical action, giving them an additional 10% advantage
in the Itoh VI sector.
It seems even the world of Itoh VI is set against the Crusaders.
Fierce dust storms have ravaged large portions of the world, giving
a decided advantage to the inhuman Necrons. With this is combined
the constant predations of the relentless Techno-Zombies. Small
patrols of Templars can no longer be sent out alone unsupported
as many do not return. Great Monoliths part the sands and strike
without warning against the Templars. It seems that the Necrons
have stepped up their offensive against the Imperials, now everywhere
the Xenos appear in greater numbers and with greater force in arms.
Some wonder if the Necrons intentionally led the Templars here
to their doom.
The Black Templars newly established a stronghold on the embattled
world of Kemi II has come under assault from the alien forces of
the Tau. Wave after wave of Devilfish transports came without warning
to the city of Hiian bringing with them a sizeable force of Fire
Warriors. The Xenos were highly organized, and had obvious detailed
intelligence of the city and the disposition of Imperial forces
there. This news can only point to traitors within the loyalist
command, no wonder the war has gone so poorly here. Despite this
setback, Intel regarding a secret Tau command centre has come to
the hands of the Imperials. A force of Elysian Drop Troopers sacrificed
their lives to gather this information; currently the Black Templars
are mobilizing to ensure that their sacrifice was not made in vain.
If the Astartes cannot bring victory now this world may well be
lost.
A new report has been received from the haunted halls of Saaremaa.
A task force of Templars had engaged a small force of Eldar when
both sides were set upon by an overwhelming tide of Daemons. The
beasts appeared from the very walls of this cursed and fell upon
the noble Marines in a tide of gibbering madness. Hopelessly outnumbered
and unprepared very few of the Battle-Brothers managed to survive
the engagement. Of the Eldar nothing in know. This first report
from in days from this hellish realm is not encouraging in the
least.
This week sees the Antagonists take the lead for
the first time in the campaign, both Kemi II and Saaremaa have fallen
out of Crusader control. Only Lochtelli stands now as the last bastion
of hope. Although the bad guys have much to cheer about the war is
far from over. As we have seen so far a few victories for either
side can make all the difference!
