The 8th Cadian continues to harass the Lamenters, as a small force of Guard troopers ensconced themselves within a city on the outskirts of the Badab Sector. A Lamenters spearhead was dispatched in an attempt to remove the Imperial presence from the rightful home of the Secessionists.
Two assault squads and two tactical squads comprised the majority of the taskforce, all embarked in razorbacks and rhinos, respectively. In addition, a Sternguard Veteran unit was deployed with a transport rhino. The 8th Cadian countered with scores of traitorous guard troopers in chimeras and a vendetta, along with a chem-cannon armed chimera. An armoured sentinel was also placed in defense of the city.
As the Lamenters moved forward, brash tactics spelled the doom of the task force from the start. The sternguard unit was deployed in range of the command squad and attempted to cut them down where they stood, however their cover was too great. The sternguard squad didn't last much longer, as the chem cannon managed to penetrate blessed ceramite armour without much difficulty. Throughout the battle, the difficulty that the Lamenters encountered would continue to grow. The assault squads unfortunately did not have much of an opportunity to engage the guard troopers in close combat, and as a result, caused a massive deficiency in the effectiveness of the task force. Unfortunately, the guard troopers were not able to be removed from the city, although after such a furious fight not much remains within the city. It is possible that the Astral Claws will send reinforcements and assist the Lamenters in another attempt to remove the 8th Cadian from its Badab Sector beachhead.

Badab War: First Shots Fired
The Imperium of Man has seen fit to attempt an attack on the Secessionists of the Badab Sector. Those Astartes Chapters aligned with Lught Huron and the Astral Claws have dug in and prepared themselves for a spearhead attack. I'll not detail the specifics of why the Secessionists have decided to eschew their citizenship in favor of autonomy as that information can be found readily elsewhere.
As it stands, an Imperial Guard regiment, what has been reported to be the veteran 8th Cadian regiment, was identified attempting to secure a foothold landing zone on a planet on the outskirts of the Badab sector. Thusly notified, Huron immediately apprised Chapter Master Phoros of the situation and requested that the Lamenters dispatch a force to prevent the 8th Cadian from establishing a beachhead.
A fast and fierce battle ensued in which the Lamenter's losses were greater than anticipated, however the Lamenters did manage to secure one objective location with the only remaining battle brother in fighting condition until reinforcements were able to arrive. Most battle brothers that were felled by the endless swarm of lasgun shots from the Imperial Guard were patched up by Calix Priest Brother Lycenae and have since returned to their squads. The most important outcome of this battle, however, was the heroic action of the squad to capture one location objective and hold the 8th Cadian off the remaining objective location.

A converted obliterator
As oblits are inherently impossible to make wysiwyg I have included the three primary weapons including a melta barrel, a plasma emitter with a large hole drilled to simulate a plasma cannon and a Lascannon barrel. With a power fist on the other arm, this model is ready to be chaosified. Matt, if you dig this send a text my way and I'll bring it by for you and if you want I can make a second so you can play a game this weekend with them if you'd like.
