Editing Iron Rangers (section)

===The Scouring===
During The Scouring the XX Legion again presented itself to be problematic. They showed almost no interest in recovering their losses and retreating. Merrill seemed determined to simply spread chaos and disorder. Their pattern of movement was incoherent. Targets for slaughter were seemingly selected at random. An aggravated and enraged Alexandri gathered the Cataphracts and Strelki forces to assault Profi Tiroedd in an attempt to force the XX Legion into conflict. The siege was successful in that goal. Yet Alexandri found himself fighting a guerilla army on the ground while simultaneously defending his forces from a newly-formed Daemon Primarch in the void. A stalemate ensued as Alexandri continuously goaded Merrill into attacking his lines of armor and artillery while Merrill attempted to draw Alexandri's forces into spreading thin to perform his signature hit-and-run strikes against the Silver Cataphracts.

Eventually Alexandri's forces on the surface of Profi Tiroedd began to siege Merrill's home fortress monastery. The assault forced the Iron Rangers to perform one more daring maneuver and punched a hole through the Silver Cataphract blockade. Once on the ground the Iron Rangers put up a bloody defense while recovering all of the weapons, armor, tribesmen, and geneseed possible.

The final result was a narrow victory by Alexandri, as Profi Tiroedd was almost completely destroyed and the Iron Rangers were forced to retreat to the Eye of Terror with what little remained of their geneseed banks and loyal local tribesmen, at the cost of heavy damage to the Rosskar chain of command.
