“Bastion 19-A6 was a powerfully armored but still small tower in an empty desert of sand and trenches. To its right and left, similar towers rose from the desert, only 200 meters away yet too distant to provide any reassurance of support. It was manned by 2,000 men […]
“For the troops defending Bastion 19A-6, the tactical situation was a nightmare. They were slaughtering the orks by the thousands, yet there seemed to be an endless number to replace the fallen. No such relief was available, however, for the defenders. The ork warlord, Rumlar, had planned with […]
“The orks have seized the trenches in Sector Nineteen. The defenses cannot hold. The orks are pouring into the suburbs of the city. We must send all reserves to the scene and try to create a bottleneck. If we fail, Hegira will fall.“—General Tiberius Vectrix, supreme commander of […]
A late-night ork attack that penetrated the fortifications surrounding Susa City was repulsed at the last minute by the arrival of the Knights of Altair Space Marine Chapter—with a key role played by single, sword-wielding dreadnought On 3 699 741.M41, more than 20,0000 orks attacked Sector 6A, a […]

The greenskins had yet to spot him and, thankfully, an accompanying Battlewagon and overhead Dakkajet were turning […]
With the fall of the Sentinel, the path forward was open to close with the humies. Blakfang led the charge, rushing past the remaining Sentinel to refocus his boyz on closing with the more vulnerable—and squishy—infantry. “At ’em, boyz!” Blakfang yelled, moving forward as fast as he could. […]

The xenos managed to penetrate the outer trench line—and threatened to break through the inner trenches—to the south of the city. At great cost, however, the greenskin attack was repulsed. […]
