The Emerald Serpent showed their hand on Hexis once again in early 12.018M42 as they sought to re-establish their influence over the course of events. Led by the tzeentch sorcerer Ahriman, the forces of tzeentch, aware of the movements and intentions of the eldar in the west, new they needed to break through the imperial cordon around their positions in Praxis. Attacking through the old town region between Praxis and Menthoteph, the elite traitor forces quickly breached the imperial defences. Reacting to this an elite force of Howling Griffons and Black Templars counter attacked.
The Black Templars, equipped with newly distributed Primaris hellblasters, managed to hold the line for a while, causing significant casualties amongst the tzeentch terminators. Ahriman himself was taken out of action by imperial shooting, but the tzeentch terminators had been a distraction. Outflanked and out gunned, the imperial forces now had to withdraw, with the Black Templars buying Konev’s forces time to fall back to prepared positions. Their sacrifice ensured the Emerald Serpent did not make a major breakthrough, but the forces of chaos were once again linked up and the imperial cordon had been breached.
