Editing Imperium Asunder Campaigns (section)

===Penance of the Warhawks===
Once the Warmaster calls for the Censure of the Oathsworn, Raydon openly rejects the orders - ordering his men to hide / protect the Oathsworn attachments.

He then goes to the Warmaster and hands himself in, for what he sees as an act of 'righteous treason'.

The Warmaster is furious, but sees this as an opportunity to 'turn' the Hawks (after all they did just demonstrate a willingness to be treasonous).

The Warmasters plan is thus:
> send the Hawks away on 'penance quest'
> Heresy occurs
> Ravenloft (closest thing to a home Hawks have) is destroyed, conclusive evidence shows it was done by who we would call loyalists.
> Warmaster beseaches Raydon through Enoch - Come back and help us (the loyal defenders of the Imperium, these traitors are trying to kill papa)
> Raydon is like "Opportunity for absolution, fuck yeah"
> All of Raydons bro's are with the Warmaster except Klaus (who is dead by now)
> Tell Raydon one of the others killed Klaus though trickery or witchcraft.
> Have Hawks fall to chaos

Unfortunately for the Warmaster, Raydon secretly assigns his Vigilator Primus (his top operator) to go the Tournament, where he sees what REALLY happens. 

> Enoch seeks out Raydon and tell him his version of events
> Raydon is like "bro you lying"
> Enoch gets mad
> Raydon is like "oh btw, while you've been monologuing I had your ships engines sabotaged - imma go now

Which leads to The Return of the Warhawks, which is their arrival during what I call 'The Exodus' which is the loyalists fleeing East.
They arrive and throw themselves into the pursuing forces, this is the first instance of their inner darkness coming out, with the ferocity and recklessness that they throw themselves into this. 
>im talking piloting ships into pursuing vessels
>kamakazie pilots
>self destructing void engines to temporarily incapacitate the traitor fleets.
They also do their normal hit & run, space guerrilla fighting as well. Long story short is they feel shit for missing most the heresy, and figure 'the void is our turf' so they do as much as they can to halt / slow the traitor forces chasing the loyalists.

In return they take fairly large losses both in material and personnel, more than they can reasonably bear being such a small legion to begin with, but the Loyalists make it to the East with the Hawks falling in close behind.

> flying right into the heart of the worst Warpstorm front ever recorded.

I am having a lot of fun coming up with the speechs the Hawk commanders give to their men before entering the warp storm. So far I have.

>We will not complain about the wind before us, nor will we expect the winds to change, no, we are Astartes of the Emperors chosen legion, we are Warhawks, we will set our sails and ride the wind like none have ever done before!

>This is the True Storm, the roughest that will ever be known. Let it prove us. Let it redeem us. Let our strength be known!

>There are some great sessons that can only be learnt in the calm of the void. There are others my brothers, that can only be learnt in the storm.

>If my highest calling brother was to preserve this ship, I would never have taken it from its home port. We ride.

>Chapter Ancient: My Lord, our fleet cannot withstand this storm.
>Raydon: No my friend, this storm cannot withstand us.
