Following our casual 30k event on the weekend I thought I would write up a story of the battle between World Eaters and the Raven Guard. It is more of a fluff write up rather than a turn by turn break down. I have another write up to do so I’ll mix it up in the next one.
The battle for Sithis Prime: On the outskirts of the Istvann System lies Sithis Prime, a world ravaged by the civil war, all that stands is the Hive City of Kraventus. The surviving populace of Sithis Prime have been journeying to Kraventus, the last safe haven, to seek shelter from the war that surrounds them.
Unforntuatley for the populace of Kraventus, a World Eater war ban lead by Kharn the Bloody have had their fill of legion on legion slaughter and have turned their butchery towards the nearest civilisation they can reach. Spartans filled with raging tactical squads and the sound of roaring thrusters carry across the empty air as the World Eaters advance through the empty ruins putting anyone they come across with a swift and bloody demise.
Luckily for the populace of Kraventus, Shadow Captain Kraai of the XIX Legion, II Btn, VII Chapter, had been perusing the World Eaters fleet since the Drop Site Massacre. Seeing the slaughter unfolding on the planet’s surface, Kraai decided to intervene and draw the World Eaters away from the city of Kraventus, thus allowing the populace to escape.
The world Eaters advanced across the battlefield mounted in Spartan Assault tanks which shrugged off most of the Raven guard fire power. Crashing to the surface the dreaded hulk of a Leviathan painted in white and blue stormed into the Raven guard ranks determined to cut the head of the snake and kill Kraai before the battle had even begun. After many casualties inflicted on his body guard of Dark furies, Kraai decided to withdraw and shelter in some nearby ruins.
Things were look bleak for the Raven guard, until reinforcements arrived. Drop pods filled with plasma support teams and tactical squads smashed into the dirt of Sithis Prime, lightning’s unloaded their payload into the lead Spartan, obliterating it and leaving its occupants lying face down in the mud. Seeing this opportunity Kraai broke free from the shelter of the ruin and began slaying all who stood before him. Impaling two World Eater marines with his mighty paragon blade.
Kharn, enraged by this sudden turn of events charged out of his Spartan at a nearby tactical squad who had recently disembarked from their drop pod. The onslaught of Kharn was undeniable and the panicked Raven guard tactical squad emptied their bolters to try and cut him down, but to no avail. Just when the tactical squad was about to perish, Kharns body was hit by a plasma round and was projected into a nearby wall.
Kraai called to his master of signals to evacuate the city of Kraventus, however before he could issue the command his comrade was beset upon by a vindictive assault squad. Cutting him into pieces and soaking their chain axes in his blood the assault squad laughed and jeered at Kraai. Kraai left his dark furies to continue their assault and charged into the bloody slaughter to avenge his comrade. Smashing into the combat with his mighty jump pack, he swiftly cut the blood thirsty World Eaters into pieces.
The remaining world eaters seeing their army butchered and their leaded broken retreated allowing Kraai to signal the evacuation. Kraai was also bloodied from the battle and regrouped his forces, and withdrew with the citizens of Kraventus.
Hope you enjoyed the write up
