Hive fleet Poseidon invades ork world of Mendrus Mundi

Ordo Xenos Report: The splinter of hive fleet Poseidon has been observed for some time while a threat it is not close enough to imperial space to warrant the substantial resources needed to destroy it. It may be a blessing or a curse that the fleet picked a massive Ork Waagh-world to invade. This world was a heavily fortified base for the Bloodfang Tribe and raiding base for WAAGH Bloodfang fleets which had recently towed a massive space hulk “Mork’s Gift” into High orbit for “Orkification”.

The space battle would begin with the ambushing of the Terror Ship “Hunta” by the Poseidon Fleet burring out its bridge with pyro acid and scattering the escorts securing the fleets path into the system. It seamed the rest of the Bloodfang fleet was only emboldened by this as “Gork’s Little Toe” a “Battlekroozer” heretically fashion from remains of a space marine Battle Barge and the newly constructed “Grin” Killa Krusier closed fast with Nids instantly destroying one Razor Fiend “transport” cruisers using massed gun batteries while the escorts were bombed into the void by crude Ork fighter craft.

The Ork left flank would soon crumble and 2 Razor Fiends would get past Gork’s Little Toe heading straight for the planet. In the centre 1 hive ship would be destroyed by the heroic? Act of the Grin’s Captain ordering his burring wreck of a ship into a full-scale collision that left both ships as drifting hulks. Finally, the space hulk hand pondered into weapon range. It began spewing fighta-bombaz and crude torpedoes to intercept the Razor Fiends. This successfully destroyed one of the breakthrough vessels but the other would hide behind a small moon and escape to the planets surface.

Gork’s Little Toe would be overwhelmed but the remaining Hive ship and final Razor Feind with waves of assault bugs burrowing into the hull until almost as a final act of defiance from the imperial machine spirit its plasma drives detonated leaving only a crippled hive ship behind.

On the planet Ork in orbit fighters and Missile batteries would shoot bomb the Razor fiend to death but in had managed to sin low enough that waves or harpies would make it to the planet’s surface and start clearing a LZ for the hive ship that outran the space hulks bomber wings to the planet and crashed itself securing spawning pools on the planet. 

The ground war has begun.
