30min after take-off

… From Strength, Will.

From Will, Faith.

From Faith, Honour.

From Honour, Iron…

The litany had been playing in an ever repeating cycle since the doors of the Ceraunus pattern lighter had been sealed, around thirty-five minutes ago.

Patches looked around, trying to distract himself from both the almost-brainwashing words and the sense of imminent death. If any of the other soldiers of the 1st Dathaban was as nervous as he was no one could tell under their steel helmets and respirator masks.

With trembling hands Patches checked his helmet and cuirass again, searching for loose scales, broken mail links, a defect in the seal… Nothing, everything following standard regulations, still, he couldn’t get that bad feeling out of his mind.

Of course, flying in a badly armoured steel can at great speed towards a VII Legion bastion was hardly a calm-infusing situation.

Welcome to my first plog, a narrative one in the vein of those great minds of this forum such as Jackdaw, Flint13, Brother Heinrich, Hyaenidae, Apologist, etc... (really, there's way too many people to cite them all) have produced.

It will depict parts the different forces that took part in Operation Gamma-3, which was a counteroffensive carried mostly by the forces of the Iron Warriors Thorakata Auxilia at the end of the first year of the Siege of Olympia.

This counterassault pretended to destroy the VII Legions main attack trench, as well as destroy one of their main command points, thus forcing a softening of the encirclement as the Loyalists tried to rebuild their lines.

Iron Within, Iron Without!
