Liberate Hive City [Redacted] from Chaos forces, dismantle cultist networks, and neutralize daemonic incursions while maintaining the cohesion of allied Imperial forces. Prevent Craftworld and Dark Eldar from interfering with imperial goals.
Timeline: Day 1–6
Chaos propaganda, orchestrated by the Word Bearers, immediately targeted the Blood Wolves, accusing them of harboring corruption. The Inquisitor swiftly identified the threat and began counter-propaganda efforts, issuing edicts that emphasized the Wolves' proven loyalty and highlighting their record against Chaos. Commissars were deployed among the Imperial Guard to enforce discipline and punish any who spread heretical doubts.
Chaos cults, led by Word Bearers and supported by Possessed Marines, initiated widespread propaganda targeting Imperial forces. Disinformation accusing the Blood Wolves of corruption spread rapidly, causing suspicion among both the Sororitas and Imperial Guard. These suspicions were inflamed when residual warp energy lingered in areas cleared by Wolves psykers.
The Exorcists opposing the claims of Blood Wolves corruption, as well as their effectiveness also opened them up to disinformation, suggesting them being the ones who summon demonic forces.
Craftworld Eldar were reported to attack chaos forces by Blood Wolves psychic reconnaissance. Inquisitor Severan Karthis and the Blood Wolves agreed on non interference, forcing Canoness Valeria Thorn and Captain Lucian Praetor to raise severe concerns, going as far as threatening withdrawals.
Dark Eldar Raiders were seen attacking chaos and imperial forces where weaknesses were displayed, returning with captured slaves. Blood Wolves psychic reconnaissance was received by the guard enabling them to prepare for most of the assaults. The Sororitas did not accept the information and tried to counter the raiders with more conventional means.
The Blood Wolves, leveraging their psykers and war beasts, successfully identified and eliminated several cult leaders. However, their actions were met with skepticism due to their unconventional rituals, and even some Guardsmen began questioning their motives.
The Exorcists actively countered the warp influence, purging three small breaches and banishing a group of Bloodletters. Their unwavering purity began to restore morale, earning the respect of both the Guard and Sororitas.
The Marines Exemplar reinforced key logistical routes, repelling Chaos ambushes and ensuring the Guard's safe deployment into contested zones. Their precision firepower crushed an attempted cultist uprising in the mid-hive, stabilizing the front lines.
The PDF proved to be a two-sided sword. Some units collaborated with chaos forces, feeding them intelligence or angering eldar forces, while others proved surprisingly effective support for the Imperial Guard.
Let them question our methods—they'll thank us when the heretic's screams are silenced. We hunt for the Emperor, not their approval.
Precision and discipline will carry this war. Let no Guardsman falter and no mistake go uncorrected. This manufactorum will hold because we will it so.
Faith does not waver in the presence of doubt. Those who speak heresy against their allies risk damnation alongside the enemy.
The wolves bite, and the giants stand tall, but it's the Guard that bleeds to hold the line. Remember that, and keep your aim steady.
Do not let the lies of Chaos twist your faith. Trust in the Emperor's plan, and trust in us to sever their daemonic ties.
The air stinks of warp corruption, and yet they question the necessity of our silence. Let them misunderstand. We are the blade that severs the foul bond between the warp and reality.
We're told to hold the line, but against what? Our orders are chaos, and every shadow looks like a traitor. We are soldiers, but we're treated like expendable pawns.
The voice of Chaos is sweet poison. Let it drip into your mind, and you are lost. We will silence their whispers before they take root.
Timeline: Day 7–13
As Chaos forces intensified their assaults, the Inquisitor ramped up efforts to unify Imperial forces. This included direct interventions during moments of tension between factions.
Chaos forces intensified their attacks, employing Possessed Marines, Hellbrutes, and waves of cultists. Lesser Daemons manifested frequently, forcing Imperial forces to adapt quickly.
The propaganda accusing the Blood Wolves of summoning these daemons continued to spread, causing some Sororitas squads to refuse direct coordination with them.
Craftworld Eldar forces helped spread enemy forces thin, sometimes almost working in tandem with the Blood Wolves, using both of their strengths to reduce chaos shrines and summoning circles. Inquisitor [REDACTED] had to spend a large amount of time quelling xenos hate among the forces, delaying the continued attack.
Dark Eldar Raiders interrupted supply lines and tried to capture imperial troops, forcing the Imperial Guard to fight on multiple fronts, often supported by Blood Wolves strike teams countering the stealth technologies used.
The Sororitas Retributors, backed by Immolators, eradicated heavily fortified cultist enclaves. Their actions cleared the way for Imperial Guard advances, though they continued to scrutinize the Blood Wolves' involvement.
The remaining PDF forces worked well as an addition to the Imperial Guard by bolstering their numbers. Further cells and single traitors were discovered during the fights, reducing the information leaked to the enemy, but wholesale switching of sides didn't occur.
This Apostle fell easily, but there are more. His whispers carried far, and his minions still fester. My Wolves will cut them from the hive's heart.
Choke points hold when held by Exemplars. We stem the tide, and the Emperor's light pushes forward. Stay vigilant, brothers, and hold!
Fire cleanses the body; faith cleanses the soul. The Retributors will reduce these heretical nests to ash.
The daemons fall when the Emperor's angels strike, but we're the ones who sweep up the pieces. Keep moving. Keep fighting. The city's ours to win.
Where daemons tread, we tread harder. Every warp breach sealed is another nail in Chaos' coffin. Purity is our weapon, and it shall not fail.
The whispers weaken, but only because we are here. Each psyker we silence is one less beacon for the daemonic to manifest. They may curse us, but their lives depend on our presence.
The Commissar says we're loyal, but how do you prove loyalty when you're fighting alongside beasts and witches? We do our duty, even if it feels like we're fighting for ghosts.
Doubt lingers among our ranks, but no more. Deeds speak louder than rumors. Today, the Wolves' work and the Exorcists' fire have shown the Emperor's truth.
Timeline: Day 14–20
The Inquisitor played a central role in ensuring cohesion during the chaotic final assault on the Chaos stronghold. Chaos propaganda escalated, with captured vox channels broadcasting accusations of corruption among the Wolves and other Imperial forces. The Inquisitor's rapid response prevented these efforts from taking root.The final battle at the Chaos stronghold saw the full might of Word Bearers' forces unleashed. The defenses were led by Greater Daemons, including a Keeper of Secrets and a Herald of Khorne, supported by Daemonettes, Bloodletters, and a Hellforged Defiler.
The drastically reduced availability of ammunition and replacement gear due to the length of the battle and the ambushes of Dark Eldar Raiders led to more melee heavy engagements than expected or desired. This increased the losses among the imperial forces further.
The Wolves penetrated the inner sanctum, eliminating a Dark Apostle and disrupting a major summoning ritual. However, their psykers struggled to contain the warp rift, leading to the manifestation of the Keeper of Secrets. Despite their efforts, the Wolves were forced to withdraw under heavy pressure.
The Exemplars led the main charge, with Captain Praetor personally slaying the Herald of Khorne in single combat. Their Tactical squads held the outer perimeter, repelling waves of daemons and cultists to prevent reinforcements from overwhelming allied forces.
Craftworld Eldar forces helped defend Imperial Guard supply lines from Dark Eldar Raiders, enabling the forces of the imperium to concentrate on the chaos threat. Additionally a secondary summoning nexus was attacked and destroyed to reduce chaos demon reinforcements.
The Sororitas provided critical firepower, suppressing Possessed Marines and preventing the Defiler from overwhelming allied lines. Their Retributors formed a key defensive line, enabling the Exorcists to engage the Keeper of Secrets directly.
Though battered and exhausted, the Guard held their positions, preventing Chaos reinforcements from outflanking the Astartes. Their sacrifices ensured the campaign's success.
The remaining PDF forces managed to buy time against the hordes of deamons attacking the backlines of the Imperial Guard until the Craftworld Eldar managed to destroy the summoning nexus.
The Apostle's blood stains my blade, but the Keeper rose in his place. We will regroup and strike again—it will die as surely as the heretic did.
This Herald thought itself a match for the Emperor's chosen. It lies broken at my feet. Hold the outer walls, brothers. Let nothing through!
The Retributors will not break, and their fire will not falter. The Keeper falls today, for we are the Emperor's judgment made flesh.
They came in waves—daemons, possessed freaks, all of it. But we held. Emperor help us, we held. I watched Commissar Ralt shoot a coward and lead the charge himself. We are still alive because of him.
The Keeper is gone, banished by the Emperor's will channeled through our blades. This hive shall not see another daemon, not while we stand.
The Keeper falters in our presence. Its power fades as ours grows. Do not fear the void we bring—fear the alternative if we do not act.
The daemons came for the backlines, and we held. For all our doubts and all the blood spilled, we stood tall. Perhaps now they'll see that we are more than fodder—we are the Emperor's shield.
The Word Bearers sought to fracture us with lies and shadows. Yet it is they who lie dead, and it is we who remain. Remember this victory and let it inspire the next.
Hive City [Redacted] was liberated, with Chaos forces eradicated and all warp breaches sealed. The Inquisitor's counter-propaganda campaign, supported by the Commissars' uncompromising enforcement, ensured the continued cohesion of Imperial forces despite internal tensions and external disruptions.
The Craftworld Eldar's involvement proved a double-edged sword. Their precision strikes against Chaos rituals significantly weakened the Word Bearers' summoning efforts, but their unpredictable autonomy and disdain for human coordination created friction with Imperial factions. Their actions, while ultimately beneficial, forced Imperial commanders to adapt to their sudden interventions.
Conversely, the Dark Eldar exploited the chaos caused by both the campaign and their Craftworld kin, launching opportunistic raids on Imperial and Chaos forces alike. Their relentless pursuit of slaves and high-value targets forced severe troop repositioning, stretching Imperial forces thin and delaying key objectives. While the Drukhari eventually withdrew with their captives, their raids inflicted considerable disruption on Imperial logistics and morale.
The Imperial Guard and PDF bore the brunt of casualties, reflecting their roles as frontline attritional forces. The Blood Wolves, Marines Exemplar, and Exorcists suffered proportionally heavy losses given their smaller numbers but achieved critical objectives that turned the tide of the campaign. The Sororitas and Sisters of Silence played pivotal roles in countering Chaos and warp phenomena but faced significant attrition in key battles. Despite these losses, the cohesion maintained by the Inquisition ensured ultimate victory.
The hive is freed, the warp breaches sealed, and the heretics silenced—this is victory. Yet, it was achieved not without strife among our own. The Sororitas' zeal clouded their trust, the Exemplars' rigidity slowed their adaptability, and the PDF's fractures cost us dearly. Still, in the end, our strength and the Emperor's guidance saw us through. Let this be a lesson: unity against Chaos is paramount, even if it requires pragmatism others may disdain.
This campaign demonstrates the triumph of discipline and adherence to duty. Despite the disorganized methods of some allies and the inherent risks of operating alongside psykers, the combined might of the Emperor's servants prevailed. The Blood Wolves and Exorcists delivered results, though their reliance on the warp remains troubling. The Guard and Sororitas stood firm, while the PDF's fragmentation underscores the necessity of preemptive oversight. We must learn from these imperfections to face greater threats with unshakable unity.
Victory was claimed through the Emperor's will and the purging flame. Yet, it was not without difficulty. The faithless among the PDF were a stain on this campaign, and the wolves who flirt with corruption remain suspect. Nevertheless, the Exorcists showed great devotion in their fight against the daemonic, and the Guard's courage was evident in their sacrifices. In the end, the hive is cleansed, but vigilance must never waver.
The Guard bled to hold the line, as we always do, and our comrades paid dearly for this victory. The Wolves hunted well, the Exemplar held, and the Sororitas' fire burned bright. Even the Exorcists, with their strange ways, fought like demons against the warp. But the fractures among us—PDF betrayal, distrust of allies, and xenos interference—made this harder than it needed to be. Let this campaign remind all that we, the Guard, are the Emperor's shield, no matter the odds.
This hive was saved not by one faction, but by the Emperor's grace working through many hands. The Guard stood resilient, the Sororitas burned bright, and even the Wolves, despite their methods, disrupted the heretics effectively. Our sanctity in combating the warp proved critical, though lingering doubts from allies hindered our efforts early on. Let those who question us see the sealed breaches and know that the daemonic can be defeated. The Imperium prevailed because we stood united, however tenuous that unity may have been.
Victory came not without cost, nor without misunderstanding. Where silence was needed, we brought it. Where the warp sought to spill forth, we closed the rifts. Yet the psyker-reliant factions remained skeptical of our presence, even as they reaped the benefits of our work.
The Guard, steadfast as always, showed the value of mortal resolve. The Sororitas' zeal was a welcome fire, though their distrust of others hampered cohesion. Let this victory serve as proof: to face the warp, silence is not an option—it is a necessity.
We stood divided, some of us swayed by Chaos, others doubted by those we fought to protect. Yet, in the face of betrayal, fear, and death, loyal PDF forces proved their worth. We held the line alongside the Guard, bled for every inch of ground, and shielded this hive from total ruin. Let the traitors be a lesson to us all: vigilance is not just a duty—it is survival. The Emperor's light endures because of those who refused to falter, no matter the cost.
The liberation of Hive City [Redacted] was a hard-fought and costly victory, but it underscores the Imperium's greatest strength: its unity in purpose against the forces of Chaos. Each faction brought their unique strengths to bear—strengths that, at times, clashed due to ideological differences and mistrust. The Guard's sacrifice, the Wolves' ferocity, the Exemplar's discipline, the Sororitas' zeal, the Exorcists' purity, and the Silence's suppression of the warp each played a vital role. Yet, this campaign is a reminder of the fragility of such alliances. Only through discipline, faith, and vigilance can the Imperium stand against the encroaching darkness
Despite the Word Bearers' efforts to fracture Imperial forces, the Inquisitor and Commissars ensured that the campaign succeeded through decisive counter-propaganda and discipline.
The liberation of Hive City [Redacted] demonstrates the Imperium's ability to unite disparate factions under the Emperor's will, even against the insidious influence of Chaos.
