Behamorr Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 The battle at Hadlerion There was a planet the captain had found the radio signals from that had declared they were no longer under the yoke of the Imperium, and when the Dragons Errant had landed to find out if they were merely free Imperials, he soon learned that the Governing body had also denounced the worship of the emperor as silly claptrap and that they needed not the The Imperium, nor the Emperor. Cathedrals had been emptied and torn down, and the symbols of the faith destroyed. Freedom from the High-lords was one thing, but the removal of the Emperor could only lead them one way. The Dragons Errant soon set to fight the planetary Defense Forces for control of the key city, after it was bombarded from orbit, there were 5 key spot to control and the Dragons Errant would do so! The city after the bombardment: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle002-1.jpg The Dragons Errant have established their armored spearhead, they have already gained control of the Treasury and Commerce buildings: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle003-1.jpg The PDF establishes control of the Arbites and Water Buildings: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle004-1.jpg At this stage, the central objective is not held, this will be the main road. The Dragons Errant head out and open fire at the enemy! The sentinels have lost one of their number, and have little ability to much against the oncoming Dragons Errant. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle005-1.jpg Inefectual fire results in little casualties of the invading Dragons Errant. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle006-1.jpg Now the PDF re-arranges itself, but they still have suppressed sentinels and the hellhound loses it's Inferno cannon! By now one stormtrooper sqaud is securing the water building and the other two move to support the sentinels and tanks, but the enemy fire again proves in-effective against the landraider: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle007-1.jpg Now the grenadiers are ready for more battle as they face the on-coming Dragons Errant, Flamestorm cannons and twinlinked assault cannons however reduce them to little before long, but they are stubborn! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle008.jpg The Grenaier/stormtroopers soon learn that stubborness against marines can be fatal! Capt Surenak and his veterans soon lay into the rebels and cut the first team down, and then they killed the second team, the rebels soon used snipers and their heavy weapons to cut the valiant heros down and leave capt Saurenak alone to get back into the landraider to assault again! The sentinels were soon reduced yet again! the land-speeder was doing nice work against them! the rhinos were also helping and by this time the missile launchers of tactical squads 2 and 3 killed a sniper team member! That cameleoline was paying off for the rebels, but not for much longer! The termionators were taking casualties from mortar fire but this time, it did little! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle009.jpg THe capt got back in so he could fight some more, and the hellhound failed to heavy bolter the terminaotrs, Heavy fire from the mortars and snipers took one more of the brothers down, the rest vowed revenge! The sentinels were left as the landspeeder would go to harrass the leman russ tank. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle010.jpg The last sentinel had no cannon! the Terminators moved closer to seek their revenge, gunning down the platoon squad with the heavy bolter, and reducing them, but their vox caster helped them stay in touch with their commander and they held, these rebels had iron discipline!, Tactical sqd 1 had seized the traffic point, as the Land-raider redeemer charged the water building wher three squads lay in hiding, one flame-storm cannon claimed las-cannoneers, forcing the rest to flee for their lives! the second cannon aimed at the second floor, scoring kills on the grenadiers and snipers at the same time! Both teams fled as well for their lives and were so under strength at that point as to also leave the field! Capt. Saurenak exited the redeemer and claimed the main office of the water building himself, as the terminators had shot, so had the PDF reducing them to 2. The landspeeder took out the leman russ' las-cannon and the rebels were seeing how quickly they were losing the city http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b73/shasolenzabi/Battle012.jpg And that halted the rebels there!. Note: I had to fight against my own models as he needed minis to be in our tourney, but the camera died, so no more pics from the next battles.

Alkana Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Cool battle rep/fluff. Are all of the battles based off games you've had? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150757-dragons-errant/page/2/#findComment-1907822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Behamorr Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Pretty much! :) The next two tales will be the crushing losses I had against the Daemon army and the Chaos marine army. Capt. Saurenak is in for some sad times! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150757-dragons-errant/page/2/#findComment-1908089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Behamorr Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Crushed! That was all the Captain could think of as he recovered in the Strike cruisers medicae. The ice of the world was no problem, the Dragons Errant were used to icey temperatures as they tended to stay in their fleet vessels, rarely setting foot on worlds except to recruit or conquer. The warp fiends had materialized, he had set up a text book formation, his first mistake. His second one was to attempt to stand and fight instead of a retreat. The Daemons and their forces hit his forces with foul sorcery! flames and bolts that made mockery of both vehicle and powered armor! the bloodletters that attended were swift and hacked through them with swords forged in the warp, also ignoring armor. Then, after recovering there, he and his Dragons met a warband of Chaos ,the fight went less one sided as before, but despite some gains,,,including taking out the enemy commander, the foul forces of Chaos had won again! What he need to do was formulate what kind of Dragons Errant he needed to deal with chaos, standard troopers were no match for such hellish enemies. Both lost battles had depleted his company. He would have to go recruit soon. Such was the burden of command, He and his company, or combat wing had seen much success, but this was a hard lesson, sometimes you lost, and lost harshly. He turned back to the books of combat, for he would find the answer to prevent such losses of trained Marines again! For now though, he relaxed, the medicines in the vats were working on him, and sleep was the best method to allow the healing to work.

Gree Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Good fluff but the Inquisition would not perform Exerminatus on your plauge-struck world for missing tithes. such would be a massive waste of weaponry. Inhabitale worlds are not exactly common and contrary to belief the Inquisiton does not nuke worlds for the slightest of transgressions. Only when worlds are too tainted by daemons or tyranids.

The 13th Goat Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Great stories, but i'm unsure if you'll ever be able to get it IA ready with that much fluff. Octa will probably tell you to lose most of it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150757-dragons-errant/page/2/#findComment-1958801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I will! It's true! ;) Fluff ain't content. The IA is your chapter's biography (or even a eulogy) - do you want to tell us about them, or do you want to tell us stuff they did. Ideally, you should find a balance.
