"...the grim nightmare of the far future, where there is only war..."
Mankind is once again forced into action, this time entering an uneasy alliance with the Dark Eldar. Emerging after the great victory of the Orks and Imperial Guards, Captain Farkov once again enters an unfamiliar territory. Reports of Chaos Marines was enough to send the Yamaku over orbit. But the outcome is uncertain, for there is another faction behind the shadows.
Elapsted Time: 02m 18s
Scouts report chaos base. Further reconnaissance impossible due to presence of cultist squad and chaos lord.
I respond to the scene to offer safe passage.
ET 02m 59s;
The Chaos Lord predictably gave chase, only to retreat when meeting stiff resistance. Several fleeting cultists were shot dead by our sharpshooters, their soul damned forever in Oblivion.
ET 03m 32s
Elsewhere the mysterious forces of the Tau fended off the Dark Eldar's expansion. Their commander and fire warriors outranging whatever the Dark Eldar has. The Katawa Legion chose to pay no heed. Whatever conflict the Tau had is of no concern to the Legion, we are here for the Chaos.
ET 03m 46s
Another Cultist raid stopped. They flee and begged their dark gods for protection.
ET 04m 28s
Alas it proved to be a distraction, as the Chaos Raptor squadron launched an attack on our undefended listening post, destroying it before our forces can respond. The Chaos Commander is full of trickery.
ET 04m 40s
Immediate retaliation seems impossible. And the Katawa Legion will have to withdraw. Doubts beginning to spread in their mind.
ET 04m 56s
The Dark Elders continue to press onward, attempting to find an opening on the Tau's defenses.
Only to be completely annihilated by volleys of the Tau's Fire Warriors. Not even the Archon was spared.
ET 05m 40s
The Katawa Legion once again fend off a cultist harassment. But there's no clear sign of victory. The Tau grows stronger, while the Chaos' true strength is a mystery. Paranoia and doubt begins to grow.
ET 07m 22s
Attempts to restore confidence by a retaliatory raid is foiled by the presence of the Chaos Lord, accompanied by an upgraded Listening Post. We retreat with questions still in our mind: can we prevail?
ET 08m 49s
The Tau repels another Dark Eldar onslaught on the central square.
In the confusion, the Dark Eldar leader is slain in combat. Tau losses appears minimal.
ET 10m 05s
The Chaos Commander attempts a cultist raid into Dark Eldar territory and was punished severely.
Still, no relief is forthcoming for the Dark Eldar front. Their positions are bombarded by the Skyray Missile Gunship and mass of Fire Warriors await the signal to strike.
ET 10m 52s
Desperate to prove themselves, and leave a mark in this conflict, the Katawa Legion attempts another strike at the flank of the Chaos base. Only to meet a Raptor squad and a heavy bolter turret.
ET 10m 59s
The Dark Eldar-Tau conflict is about to reach its climax as both forces converge on the Dark Eldar base.
Two land speeders from the Katawa Legion is sent to assist, contact was lost mere seconds after the exchange of fire begins.
ET 11m 15s
The alliance looks extremely fragile. The Dark Eldars backs are against the wall...
A last ditch assault led personally by me will attempt to break the siege.
It appears to be working.
Rockets explode on impact, and the assault is broken over thrown grenades, but more Fire Warriors can be seen marching behind the wreckages of the Skyrays. The Katawa Legion had no desire to abandon the fight, but another matter demands more attention...
ET 12m 23s
The Chaos Commander started a frontal assault. If the Legion does not fall back, all is lost.
The Outer defensers are lost. The Katawa Legion entrances themselves in the inner perimeter, daring the Chaos to advance. They did not.
For a time there is quietness...yet discomfort grows from within, eventually casting doubts of whether victory is even a possibility at this point. It will take very little to push the doubts into certainty...
...in the form of a Chaos defiler.
