Who is our enemy? We do not know.

How strong is it? This is not know to us either.

From where will it come? We can only guess.

Then why does it come here? That is the only thing we know for sure, Brothers.

To destroy us.

To kill, to burn, to maim and torture. To wipe our Chapter from existence and erase it's name from all the records. Prophecy foretold us that we will perish on this world, our Chapter Master himself will fall, trying to stop the unstoppable. But we will not run. We will not hide. And no, we will not try to cheat Fate. We are too subtle for that. We will take it by the neck, kick it's teeth in and then stick a bayonet up it's arse. No one messes with this Chapter, not Death, not Chaos, not Gods, Laughing or not, not even Fate itself! For we are Ghosts of Retribution and no grave shall take us until we are done with you. Let them come. We wait.

I'm still betting on chaos, as they are the only major enemy that uses the warp in this fashion. Eldar, dark or not, use the webway, the nids use geansteelers, which we do not appear to have on our planet. And the crons have nothing to do with the warp

A friendly tip from GM - we have entered a stage where Chapter is facing Total Annihilation scenario. Be smart, read posts carefully and think outside the box. And never forget, that EVERYTHING is connected in some obscure way. Well, if you fail - it was a good run and I am glad we made it this far.
---
Another note regarding the gameplay during this part of quest. This is a battle, no - a campaign, of terrible proportions. We are talking Krieg, Vraks, Armageddon here. You are supreme commanders of Allied Imperial Forces during the Siege of Mormark with millions of troops under your command and dozens of generals.

This is an experiment that I really wanted to do for a long time - running a real full scale war campaign in 40k setting. Never before I've seen this done anywhere, so I am not sure how it will work out, giving so much power to players, but I hope for the best. However if you will feel that it's too hard for you or if I will see that you cannot handle it, we can always go the route of assigning a random general to deal with large scale actions and you will continue doing space marine stuff. However I put a lot of effort into it and hold fingers crossed that it will work. Ave Imperator!

Seran & 8 Techmarines
100 Tactical Marines.
Retribution pattern Baneblade.
6 Rhino’s (for rapid re-deployment around defense lines).

Captain Merkon
50 Tactical Marines
1 Apothecary

Silverlight:
Captain Arcon
50 Tactical Marines
1 Apothecary

Weberg:
Lieutenant Kronos
50 Tactical Marines
1 Apothecary

Dargen:
Sergeant Harmankos
50 Tactical Marines
1 Apothecary

Arnstad:
Appoint field commander from the 50 marines
50 Tactical Marines
1 Apothecary

Reikland:
20 Tactical Marines, co-operate with local forces.
1 Apothecary

Remaining Forces:
Chapter Master
190 Tactical Marines
6 Apothecaries
8 Techmarines
23 Assault Marines
7 Rhinos
1 Thunderhawk
1 Land Raider
3 Predators
16 Warbikes

These will remain at tombstone, unless assault force/reinforcements are required, in which case everything except 100 Tactical Marines and the 8 Revenants, mounts into the vehicles and goes to where they are needed.

The Revenants are perfect for hit & run/confusion attacks against forces in the mountains around Tombstone.

Finally, after years of waiting, it seems that the prophecy is coming true afterall. Every countdown eventually ends and sins of the past come to haunt the Ghosts. Hundreds of data screens in Imperial ships, war rooms and intelligence headquarters all across Mormark suddenly come to life. Painstakingly slowly, machine spirits print green letters in front of your eyes:

Brethorius looks at you with his eyes wide open.
"Brother... It's just a single ship! Can it be, that it's the Invasion that we all were waiting for?"
You hear thousands of lips murmuring, sharing their thoughts, hopes and fears with each other. Even Space Marines, despite their discipline start wondering what all of this means. Brethorius turns to you and touches your shoulder:
"Milord... Let's crush them! For the Emperor, for Imperium! Let us send everything we got at them and destroy them! They've got no chance against our armada!"

Finally, you receive the first pictures of the mysterious ship. It is of titantic proportions, in your whole life you've seen only a few that could rival it in size. Eldar was right, it indeed reminds you a little bit of gigantic leviathan of the stars, a god-sized vessel, that can crush whole systems just with his presence. It's design remotely reminds you of the Imperial ships, the forms, ornamentation and grim gothical architecture. However there are no Imperial marks or statues on it, except for some runes that have no meaning for you. Someone who has spent more time than you in the library recognises them, however:
"Milord, I think those letters are Proto-Gothic! This ship must be as old as the Imperium, if not older!"
Suddenly, Captain Moebius calls out:
>Sir! It is confimed, this ship is of Terran origins, Pattern: Unknown, but we... What!? Sir, they are engaging us! Evasive maneouvres!

>Your ground defences have very limited range, only enough to protect your planet from planetary bombardment. They would be of use, only if you would lure Wrath Warship into the Mormark Orbit.
Actually fighting that massive ship with just our fleet seems pointless, so park the fleet behind the moons to protect them from its superior range. Once the ship is in range, we can attack. Just make sure to focus fire on one section of the ship, we want that part cleared of point defences

The ship tumbled toward the center of the system, a slow and graceful, if not tragic course. Chunks of it spun behind it in tow. the entire thing was barely holding together. A Goliath class Factory Ship, brought so low. In his time as overseer of the vessel the Magos had seen no less then three dozen space marine chapters outfitted for war from these once glorious halls. He silently drifted thru the steel carnage, exposed power conduits sparking silently in the void, mangled bodies mixed in with the debris. He would have wept if the need for emotions was still present within him. it was not. There was only purpose and an objective. That was enough. Subsystem reporting went down over a week ago, and emergency power was fluctuating dangerously. He made repairs as he went on what would matter most, they were not the kind to be proud of, or to be praised by the Omnisshiah. He had found over two dozen still functional servitors and slaved them directly to his own cognator, using them as extensions of himself.

System defence ships, small, warp-incapable vessels meant for fighting against pirates and other space scum, bravely rally under the orders of General Prestor. They attack the enemy, using the best Air Superiority tactics that General is so fond of. As a Hero, a man of principles, he refused to stay behind and commanded a ship of his own in the first wave of attack. They gave their best, approaching the enemy at the cost of the lives of their comrades and showering them with lance strikes, however in the end all of this was in vain. Wrath opened fire from thousands of DAoT turrets, cutting down whole ships in one strike, murdering crewmen in thousands...

Prestor is alive and well until the next suicide mission, people of Mormark still are naive about the outcome of this war and your system defence fleet, no matter how insignificant, is still intact.

However torpedoe run still failed.

Wrath Warship and Wrath-2 are atm doing something with Interimus.

Your actions?

the ships name is "AM.F.A.386-a" or adaptus mechaus forge ship arsenal type number 386 Astartes variant. The ship is very old, which really would mean too much normally. However, its production lines are also very old.

armor:
It primarily produces mk 6 armor. There are small subsections that produce smaller amounts of mk3 armor which was its original line. The MK3 fills the role of heavy armor normally occupied by terminator armor, the ship never gained the equipment necessary to create such wonders.
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Power_Armour#.UABj5fVp1c8

weapons:
Umbra Ferrox pattern boltgun- older gun, higher ammo capacity.
Chainsword- older mark.
Evicerator- ship does not make power weapons, takes the place of a powerfist.
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Eviscerator#.UABmVfVp1c8
Plasma Cannon- made in limited production runs.
Standard explosives

However before they went down, our scouts reported us some things about the enemy:

Wrath Battleship
Health 100%
Defensive fields: three times as thick as those of Aspera Dominus
Firepower: Outranges all of our ships, chance to hit in medium range 85%(ours mere 50%)
Speed: Slower than our escorts, but not much
Also, it seems that it is protected by various fields, resonating with the warp, sensors couldn't identify this, but they must be used for some special kind of defence...

Tacitarius puts on his Skull helm, and picks up his old freind, "His Will" The eviscerator is proportioned for a space marine, and blessed with holy oils. He Vox's the commander.

"My Lord, I volunteer to lead the boarding action, as do Terminator brothers Arcturus, Nangthok, Gorial..." He lists the names, as haunting images of battlefields past flash across his mind. He was the emporers weapon, a tool for war, a holy priest who would sacrfice xeno, traitor and heretic alike for the will of the greatest of all men, who did descend into the warp to battle the foulest of demons. His blade had sent countless souls to feed the lord of Terra, and he would send more today. Thousands more, if it were approved.

The next few days are relatively quiet, everyone is waiting for the enemy warships to make a move, but so far nothing seems to be changing, so your officers relax a little bit. "Loss of Interimus was a tragedy, but we will pull through. Enemy saw, that he can't defeat us in the Inner System, so it waits... For it's doom! Our allies will come soon and we'll defeat them in the name of the Emperor! Hm, it would be interesting to get to know who they are before we kill them..."
However not everything seems to be going normal. Some of the flying patrols have failed to return home, there are suspicions of desertions. Also some of the settlements far in countryside seem to have been angered by growing taxation from mobilisation effort and are now ignoring our attempts to communicate with them...

Princeps Ferron was an Imperial officer of the best kind. Intelligent, loyal, of noble birth, not too arrogant and caring about his men. Tonight Moderatii Askeus celebrated his 45th birthday, a very nice age worth of a good party. However, as Princeps wasn't too shy about drinks, soon a time came when he needed to go outside to 'check his Titan' and make place for some more fuel. As Mormarkian night cold started to bite at his sensitive parts, Ferron once again thought about how much he hated this freezing hellhole. Well, the only upside now is that they are here at least just for show - if navy boys do their part, Titans will go back home without firing a single shot. And if they fail... Well, who could be stupid enough to want problems with half a hundred Imperial Titans? Princeps laughed at his own thought and zipped his pants. Suddenly, he noticed a shadow in the dark.
"Who goes there? Kcernus? Is that you?"
Principes tried to look closer, but suddenly, a dark figure emerged.
"In the name of the Emperor, what the h..."
Ferron silently fell down into the snow , his throat cut before sounding the alarm. However the creature, on purpose or by accident, wounded him in such a way, that he lived long enough to see dozens, no - hundreds, of dark mechanical figures appearing from the shadows and like a dark wave attacking the Headquarters of Legio "Lux Mechanica". Before taking his last breath, Princeps heard alarm being sounded and saw Titans, mighty warmachines, exploding, burning, turning on each other... Then Emperor took him away from this tragedy.

Tacitarius breathed deep of the hearts heavy smell, before biting deep. Blood ran down his painted face as he feasted on the malice of a dark eldar. He washed it down with Amesac, before begining on an Orks liver, its stubornness. Around him, other soul rippers were performing similar ritual consumption, bolstering their souls with the essences of worthy foes, slayed by their own hands and preserved till such a time was needed.

"Sir". Tacitarius turned to see a marine, Teregulas, offering him the head of a grot. Its face was painted half blue, and its brain cavity was open.
"This is Ritchit. He was the lucky charm of Warboss Garbak Mawlord. Eat of his brain, take a fill of his luck."

However enemy also isn't sleeping... With a swift offensive they take 14th and 15th regions, cutting off the supply line between Silverlight and Reikland. You will receive no additional tanks or aircraft next month.

Their second force is moving towards Arnstad and started besieging the city, Army Group "Mace" that is stationed there is taking heavy casualties...

Arnstad is suffering terrible assaults, enemy droid infantry is slaughtering poorly trained PDF easily, 1 of them is worth 10 of ours. Also, there are reports, that they started deploying heavier droids, tanks and even planes...

Army Group "Mace" three weeks ago: 500 000 troops
Siege casualties: 197 569
Enemy casualties: 17 903
Garrison now: 302 431
Ammunition used up: 34
Fuel used up: 3

Also, your recon planes report, that massive pieces of Interimus that fell down from the sky are now gone... Your Techpriests soon reach conclusion, that these "things", these "Men of Iron" are able to quckly and efficiently reforge any metal that falls into their hands into new drones/war machines/fortifications. It's a terrible discovery, but it's good to know their strengths. Also, we now realise that the worst thing that can happen right now is Silverlight mines falling into their hands...

Hoping for it to be glorious


Tacitarius slit his palm, allowing the blood to fall from the base of his palm. The savage assault marine eagerly accepted the dripping red into his mouth, his two hearts beating all the faster for this blessing.

The Soulkiller chaplain walked to the next marine, and the next, and the next, repeating the same call and response Chant
"What is your altar?"
"Battle!"
"What do you put upon it?"
"Whoever opposes his will!"

Down the line he went, every marine accepting a portion of his strength too their own. When the last had accepted the blessing, he turned to them
"Brothers, my Rage Knows no words! I have no speech for you this day, because I cannot express my pure and righteous fury. The only release I crave is to DRIVE HIS WILL INTO THEIR MECHANICAL CHESTS AND REND THEM ASUNDER!!"
"WAR IS OUR ALTAR!"
"To your Drop Pods Brothers! Lets show these unliving monstrosities how to die! THE EMPORER FEASTS TONIGHT ON STEEL SOULS!"

211 977 soldiers, officers and commissars of the PDF
3405 tanks, transporters and artillery pieces
Enemy losses:

Enemy droids are not standartised, it seems that only very few 'elite' ones come from the crashsite, others are built from our own downed Chimeras, dismantled metal constructions and from anything else that they can reforge into war machines. At the moment most common are projectile weapons that remind of a cheap version of bolter, however non-violent plasma and melta weapons are also common. Sometimes they use even Imperial looted and repaired weapons. However there are reports, that original 'elite' droids wield arcane weapons with unreported effects...

From sector 10 we shall attack sector 11; the 13th Skywar shall clear them out, then the 18th Panzer, 10th Imperial Guard, and 2rd Army shall push forward. They shall be continued support from the 13th Skywar.

Simultaneously, the 14th Skywar shall attack Sector 12, with 16th Panzer 5th and 8th Armies, and the 11th Elite "Ironfaces" following behind.

A terrible explosion shakes the foundation of the Temple and 15-meter sized statue of the Emperor falls down into the street, crushing a fleeing Chimera. Dozens of troopers open fire upon the terrible monstrosity that is hulking thorugh the streets of their beloved city, however their shots are like insect bites - irritating, but without effect. Heavy Wrath droid belows something in it's machine tongue, releases a few rockets at the machine-gun nest in the Temple's gateway and rushes forward, chopping Imperial soldiers to pieces with it's mechanised power blades. It steamrolls all the garrison within the Grand hall and then turns towards the Altar of the Emperor. It's calculating mind thinking about how to melt it and convert into ammunition, when a figure appears in the doorway. Machine immediatelly identifies a threat and charges forward, knowing, that no lasgun or autogun can take it, when figure lifts up a bolter and blows out it's circuits, silencing the metal beast forever. Or at least until the next one comes and reassembles it. Harmantos looks with sadness at the burning city and turns to his brothers.
"The city has fallen, we are late. Tactical retreat is neccessary. But we will return... And we will pay them back. No one escapes Retribution."

Arnstad fell. Army Group Mace is decimated.

I will not let the enemy walk on this planet without fear of our Retribution.
I, the Chapter Master of the Ghosts of Retribution, swear to my honor that these enemies will be killed, their efforts crushed, their creations destroyed, their buildings razed to the ground, even the memory of them will become nothing more than a distant thought, purged from the minds of those we promised to protect.
Emperor, today I ask you to guide my eye, your blinding light as a shining beacon for my wandering mind.
Please, Father, guide my efforts, and let me serve You and Your will to the best of my possibilities.”

Your daring push liberates territory as far as region 14, however general Werhun approaches you with a concern that you might get surrounded, your supply lines are in danger. Also, General Vult disobeys your orders and leads detachments from 4th Army Group "Axe" as far as 12th region...
