Overwhelmed

With the Cultists dead the scions gather their wounded and secure the parameter.

An autogun rifle shot had hit the long range vox caster, leaving the Scions unable to call for an extraction.

Little did they know that Skara was lurking in an abandoned manufactorium gather her followers to capture the stranded Imperials. 


Counting on her cults numbers and fanatical resolve, Skara once again ordered the Perfect Path forward in a wave under cover of a blanket of autogun fire.

Both combatants took heavy losses. Finally finding the scions retreating into a ruined hab center, while the Cultists took shelter in the surrounding rubble.


A fire fight ensues.

Tempestor Kane, though wounded, orders comms expert Carpenter to repair the long range vox as he fires bolter rounds from the cover of a broken window.

Uncovered Secrets

Doing routine logistics, Adeptus scribe Graeme Reede, of the departmento munitorum discovers something suspicious.  Following protocol Graeme contacted Inquisitor Agatha Ivana. The Scribe reported that an encrypted logistics file indicated that for months before the cult uprising somebody has been siphoning weapons and supplies to the Golden Path, marking the items as lost. Not only this, but it appears that assets and troops have been moved to the 666th Sagan regiment.  As Graeme made his report it was intercepted by Tepestor Prime, Zaggan Blackbringer, of the God sworn. Jamming the signal, Zaggan orders his men to seek the Scribe and kill him. The signal lost, Inquisitor Ivana orders Virion Stormborn of PEGASUS to retrieve Graeme and bring him in. Ivana knows that time is of the essence, as enemy troops are no doubt seeking the Adept themselves.

Exhausted and having taken heavy losses, Lt. Dekker knew that the Street Sweepers could not take much more. Dekker and Commissar Brawn devised a plan that they hoped would turn the tide of the battle and restore morale to their men.  They lured the 666th into a dense neighborhood where the tanks would have trouble navigating. Circling back they caught the armoured fist squads from the rear and used their mobility and numbers to attack the traitors. Running from ruin to ruin under covering fire of the wyvern the Street Sweepers were able to easily get withing range to make use of their melta guns, heavily damaging Darkhelm's tank as well as the Chimera transports without taking many casualties. His Russ billowing smoke, Darkhelm was forced to order a retreat, the Streetsweepers cheering as the tanks limped away.

Knowing that Tank Commander Darkhelm possed a very real threat the servants of the corpse emperor once again made an attempt on the Sagan's life. Luring the 666th deeper into the hab, the Streetsweepers turned to fight, in hopes of eliminating Darkhelm before it's too late.  Lt. Dekker and Commissar Brawn order their men forward with threats that any man falling back would face the Emperor's wrath at their hands. The Imperials let loose a hail of lasfire, but Darkhelm's leman russ was immune to such small arms and the Las shots struck uselessly on it's sturdy hull. Brawn cursed the men for lacking sufficient faith in the Emperor as he witnessed the soldiers' best efforts come to naught. The sacrifices  of Dekker's men was just a ploy. A squad of infantry led by a scout Sentinel snuck through the rubble strewn hab block, getting behind Darkhelm and his tanks. The s...
