Only War Campaign Update

Here is the first in a series of posts detailing the heroics of the Imperial Guard squad in the clubs Only War campaign - Darren

-------------------------------------------------

We rejoin our heroes regrouping behind the wreckage of an old Hab block.

They have just managed the salvage the internal gubbins from a power Klaw and the remains of the wrecked chimera's vox set.  Having got a message out to a distant Imperial guard flyer, the sergeant decides that there best chance for survival lies in getting back to the imperial lines as soon as possible, so he orders the troops into marching home. After a day of forced marching they break and camp, exhausted.

Next they discover a clearing that was not on the mapslate their operator was using, and when they stop to smell the flowers they get pounced on by some six legged indigenous mountain cats. The cats are quickly dispatched thanks to a flamer burst, knife to the gut and a very precise burst of heavy bolter fire. Proceeding through the jungle they hear the sounds of heavy gunfire as a Valkyrie roars overhead and crashes to the ground some kilometres away from their position. They decide to check it out, in order to see if they can help any survivors. Unfortunately they only find one wing bearing the designation of the troop ship they came down on.

Finally they return to the imperial compound where they are berated and sent of to defend another refinery against the ork force they were supposed to have routed.
