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.
