War Of Beasts Warhammer 40K – Part 4 (Part 4 of 17)

The War for Vigilus Intensifies

As the conflict on Vigilus rages on, the Imperium of Man faces numerous challenges in its quest to reclaim the planet from the forces of Chaos and the xenos threats that lurk in every corner. The Primaris Space Marine Chapter Necropolis Hawks has arrived on the scene, working closely with Rogue Trader du Languille to contain the Gellerpox infected.

Containing the Plague

Meanwhile, the Crimson Fists under Captain Jhermandes have joined forces with the Iron Hands to construct a massive barrier against the plague. The two chapters fought bravely through hordes of Chaos Mutant horrors at the decommissioned Litmus Dock. Following the Iron Hands’ instructions, the Crimson Fists used the Hellhounds of nearby Vigilant Guard to set fire to the Hivesprawl’s promethium pipelines, creating a firewall around the infected zone.

Water Scarcity and the Threat to Lake Dontor

The fall of the Oteck Water supply has made water an even scarcer resource on Vigilus. Dontoria is now in danger of losing its own water supply, Lake Dontor, which is under constant vigil due to threats of contamination. The Calgar’s Vigilus Senate has yet to rediscover the Death Guard that made planetfall, adding to the uncertainty.

Mortwald Under Siege

On the false continent of Mortwald, the situation is dire. The Orks and Genestealers threaten the production of food and medicine, leaving the common people to suffer. However, the defenders of Mortwald, led by Governor Deinos’ brother, have held their ground against the Greenskin advance. The arrival of the Imperial Fists 5th Company under Captain Dravastis Fane has improved the defensive network, but the Orks continue to launch relentless attacks.

Knights of Dharrovar and Terryn to the Rescue

In a bold move, the Knights of Dharrovar and Terryn launched a headlong attack into the Stompa horde, supported by the Reaver Titan Heresiums Bane. Although the Orks were initially pushed back, they returned with larger and more formidable machines of war. Fane ordered a final assault on the Ork factories, leading a Knight and Titan assault into the wastelands.

Battle of Tanka Spill

At the Battle of Tanka Spill, the Dharrovar Knights assaulted a sizable Ork scrap city, taking advantage of a dust storm to catch the xenos off guard. The accompanying Warhound Titans decimated the Orks, but the Knights refused to withdraw, taking the fight further into the next scrap city.

Megaborealis Regained

Back at Megaborealis, the Imperials have largely regained control under Mechanicum and Space Marine assaults. The Astartes spearheaded the attacks, while the Mechanicum followed up with xenos-identifying technology to eliminate Genestealer nests. However, the situation remains uncertain in the Stygian Spires region, where Genestealer Primus Dethru Noan still holds significant power.

Stygian Spires Under Attack

Noan has devised a plan to attack the Stygian Spires, which control the asteroid water mining operations of Megaborealis. Working with the Genestealer Magus Slynte, Noan secured the agreement of Grandsire Wurm, who led the assault himself. The initial Skitarii defenders were quickly overwhelmed, and the Genestealer Patriarch took control of the top levels of the water plant.

Phase Three of the War of Beasts

As the conflict on Vigilus enters its third phase, the Imperium faces numerous challenges in its quest to reclaim the planet. The forces of Chaos and the xenos threats will stop at nothing to claim victory, and it remains to be seen whether the Imperium can emerge triumphant.
