On Tuesday the mighty Blood Angels fifth company encountered a chaos space marine warband just outside of the cadian gate. The warband was the fabled Thrice Damned which claims that they were cast out of the emperors favor for no reason, that they were called traitors while still loyal to the imperium. The records of remembrancers from the heresy are being reviewed to determine if this claim is true although quite few records remain from that tumultuous time.
Captain Gadriel of the fifth company along with the terminator assault squad "avenger" deployed in a land raider redeemer, the Flame of Baal, from a thunderhawk gunship onto what was soon to become a blooded battlefield.
Other elements of the fifth deployed included Lazarus tactical squad commanded by brother Nero Vipus standing in for sergeant Garviel Loken. Lazarus squad was deployed in a rhino near the only level ground in the area in an effort to secure it for further support drops Loken was deployed along with four other brothers in a drop pod issued with special ammunition to serve as an impromptu sternguard unit for fire support. Heavy support units included the blood hammer, the vindicator attached to the fifth, as well as the predator annihilator Tychos hand. Two rhinos were used as transports in the mission one serving as the transport for Lazarus, and one serving for the assault squad "Laora" commanded by sergeant Saul Tarvitz. A twin linked Lascannon razorback was the transport assigned to the assault squad "Sparta". A sanguinary priest was attached to each assault unit.
