The war against chaos prosecuted by the new Lord General covered the entire sector, as Maximus declared “total war” on the traitors. On Hexis, new deliveries of nuclear ammunition allowed Konev to continue “degrading” chaos positions, destroying Warsmith Stahl’s fortress in the Shifting Sands. The continuation of the nuclear war had begun to turn the surface of Hexis into a poisonous radioactive hell, something Konev’s troops were less equipped for than the forces of the enemy. The astartes forces on Hexis raised their concerns but for now the General insisted the nuclear bombardment continue.
At Mordecai Maximus conducted a carefully planned raid of the second world, testing its defences and setting down an entire regiment of Novgorod Guard. The Emerald Serpent reacted quickly, and the appearance of elite terminators and daemon forces almost caused the complete failure of the mission. However the guard forces managed to hold their line long enough for the attached adeptus mechanicus forces to destroy several orbital assets on Mordecai Secundus, as preparations for a full scale invasion began in earnest.
At Paradorn the appearance of the Eldar became a grave concern, as Lord Maximus surmised that a combined chaos-eldar Coalition was working against the imperium in order to deny them access to the vital Foramen Interdictum. Despite the loss of Paradorn I to the xenos, the lord general ordered full scale defensive preparations, with the imperial guard digging in fortifying the third planet, as it became clear that Paradorn III would be the eldar’s next target. Paradorn must be held at all costs.
