In the far future of the 41st millennia, there is only war.

On the planet of Vigilus, an ork invasion had just been repelled. The Solar paladins, a chapter of the Emperor's avenging angels, the Sisters of Battle, the armed forces of the ecclesiarchy, and the 40th Cadian army of the Astra Militarium, the emperor's shield for humanity, now rebuilt the hives cities of the world.

The guardsmen patrolled the upper layers in small squads. The guardsmen heard of a structure made of stone. As the guardsmen reached, they saw a crowd of large crowd of people gathered near it. Suddenly, a large winged beast flew out, followed by men in armor made of leather and metal, holding shields and spears. The commander ordered the attack, and this mysterious army attacked the civilians of the imperium.

Beasts unseen to the imperium attacked, the guardsmen setting up bastions of safety, in an attempt to save civilians.

"Everyone on this frequency, gather on Delta 9 east, and Delta 5 west, 426th north, and 422nd south, set the boundary there to stop the spread of the enemy." A commissar commanded.

Guardsmen rushes to the roads and access towers, Leman Russ Battle Tanks, and Chimeras moves on larger roads, providing support.

"Mordian Line Doctrain!" A commander yelled.

The guardsmen formed ranks, four lines deep, the first line knelt down, as the second rank fired behind them. The two back ranks walked forward, creating a new line, and repeated the process.

The Sisters of the Lady of the bloody wings gathered many of the citizens trapped in the zone, defending their churches against the attackers.

The Solar Paladins marched in, burning the attackers with Flamers, Bolters, and chain swords, killing beast and man alike with ruthless efficiency.

Hours passed as the enemy fell back, running from the guards, the Sisters and the Marines. As the forces reached the structure, the stopped, setting up defenses, walls and a large plasteel dome over the structure, called "the gate".

3 months have passed now, and a force has been created, the 76th army of the imperium. The army was only around five thousand soldiers.

The leader of the army was Lord Commander Markus Havock, experiences commander of the ork assault. He walked to a stage. Before the large army.

"Today, we avenge the deaths of the imperial citizens, and the destruction of the cathedral of her holy blade." Markus said, pacing the stage.

The soldiers watched, their commander giving a speech.

"The powerful imperium shall strike a powerful blow against the enemy, bringing this enemy to heel, forcing them to bow, and break them. They shall become apart of the imperium.

The righteous shall burn the mutants, strike down the heretic, and destroy the monsters. We shall find those who are responsible, and make them pay." Markus said.

He put on a helmet, before climbing on the baneblade, the Righteous Hammer, the hatch closing. The tank started, followed by a roar of engines, and the heavy tank rolled forward, followed by other vehicles.

The vehicles moved through the gate, preparing for battle as they near the other side.
