CEASEFIRE CALLED! ARMAGEDDON CAMPAIGN DRAWS TO A CLOSE!
October 24,2000 - Despite being quickly encircled by the Orks,
the defenders of Death Mire managed to hold the Orks at bay and prevent
the Greenskins from crossing the River Insane. However, hundreds of
thousands of feral Orks rampaging from the equatorial jungle swarmed
over the facilities at Mire Anchorage, almost overrunning the rear
of the hive in a single night. Five regiments of hive militia fought
a desperate delaying action to hold the Orks, and only the timely
arrival of two companies of the Storm Lords Space Marines finally
broke the attack. The Orks went to ground, infesting the docking facilities
and preventing the gigatankers from the Fire Wastes berthing in the
harbour.
The lack of raw materials for the factories and weapons shops
of Death Mire caused many of them to cease production and the defenders
were sorely pressed as ammunition and fuel began to run critically
low. It was essential that Mire Anchorage was reopened. Soldiers
from the Armageddon Ork Hunters regiment deployed along the edges
of the jungle and ruthlessly began to hunt down feral Orks. They
killed thousands of Greenskins, calling in lethal artillery barrages
whenever they discovered an Ork nest. With the flood of feral Orks
halted, the Storm Lords were able to cleanse the docking facilities
of Mire Anchorage. Three weeks after the war had begun, ships carrying
weapons, ordnance and much needed supplies were unloaded onto the
wharfs.
Reinvigorated and replenished by the liberation of Mire Anchorage, regiments from the Mordian Iron Guard launched a massive counter-attack along the River Insane Tunnel towards the Phlegethon Bridge. Simultaneously, Titans attacking from the Tempestor Victorum line swept across Death Ridge and pushed the Ork line back towards the Roks. The attack along the motorway was met by Orks from the Black Slayers tribe and here the fighting became particularly bloody. Titans from the Legio Tempestor closed with the Ork Roks, bombarding the gigantic asteroid citadels, their speed enabling them to avoid most of the Orks' return fire.
At Death Mire the Orks have been halted and even pushed back towards the Roks. More gigatankers arrive in Mire Anchorage every day, further strengthening the defences and, at one hive at least, the Ork invasion has been contained.
