Taros Campaign: Descent of Angels

Following their defeat at Bastion 13, Imperial command called upon the Blood Angels for support. Scouts reported that Warboss Gorgog Badzagga had left the Bastion, intent on overtaking manufactorum facilities in sector 4. With the Warboss gone, the Blood Angels planned a surprise attack on the Ork held fortress.

The remaining Ork defense proved to be too much for the attacking Blood Angels. Lead by Big Mek Zodgor Waznagga, the Orks threw hordes of heavily armoured tanks and walkers at their attackers.

The Blood Angels offensive was spearheaded by a Land Raider occupied by a squad of tactical marines. The tank shot all of its weapons into the side of the most dangerous Ork vehicle, the Battlewagon. To the surprise of the Imperials, the lascannons only managed to inflict glancing damage onto the Ork vehicle. In reply, the Battlewagon rammed its mighty Deffroller directly into the Land Raider, causing it to explode. The surviving marines piled out of the wreckage only to be assaulted by a mob of 19 blood thirsty shoota boyz. The Astartes stood their ground and fought valiantly, but ultimately were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the ork mob.

The rest of the Blood Angel units arrived via jumpack deepstrike. Furious from the loss of their ancient Land Raider, the unit of Sanguinary guard wrecked the Battlewagon with a well placed blast from an infernus pistol. This small victory was short-lived as the remaining Blood Angel assault units found themselves ill-equipped to deal with an Ork Deff Dread accompanied by a squadron of 3 Killa Kans. Eventually, the Astartes fell as they were withered down by salvo after salvo of weaponry from the Ork Walkers.
