On the evening of the 3rd november 40.001, I was on my way to the astroport of Velillenev,to take the shuttle to Kaar -ak'as, typing my report to the emperor (may his light shine on us forever!) , when a new attempt was made by the forces of chaos .
The thousand sons this , sinking as low as enlisting the help of the worst scum of the universe :the Tyranids, made a new attack on the suburbs of the city .
They were faced by the 4th armoured company of the space wolves with elements of the death wing being held in reserve .
Again ,using treachery and disguise ,they enjoyed the element of surprise and managed to open fire first ,inflicting some damaged to the defense line ,again,returning fire was of abysmal effectiveness and we all feared that the attack would be succesful . But against all odds , the understrenght space wolves held long enough to allow the death wing to flank the Xenos . In a series of confusing battles in the ruins of the suburbs among burning tanks and piles of dead bodies,the two parties soon came to hand to hand. The superior skills (and basic savagery) of the space wolves ,combined with the firepower of the terminators made a difference ,scores of Xenos and much of the thousand sons (may them rot in hell for their treachery) were cut to pieces .In the total confusion ,a Defiler even tried to shoot at his own side ,killing a few scouts in the process before being drilled through by a predator crew.
While suffering heavy losses ,all but a handful of Xenos were wiped out and the much hated thousand sons had to walk away with a handful of survivors (all their vehicles destroyed ) ,in their eternal shame .
The city ,thought ravaged is still safe (especially for the all important shuttles to Kaar -ak 'as)
I must as well recommend that the enemy who led the attack under the name"inquisitor "(using the name of the holy inquisition ,what an outrage!) should be dealt with as soon as possible ,possibly by being captured and locked up with a captured Genestealer (before being shot of course).If he is captured ,a surgeon Ordo Hereticus will be sent to study their modes of communication to better understand how they could work as allies.
