Editing Indrick Boreale (section)

==Boreale's Death==
The Lands of solitude were rocked by a titanic battle between Marines and Orks, it was a bloody gauntlet for both commanders.

''Shargent Harad, come in!''

Captain Boreale yelled on his vox, but alas to no avail: Sergeant Harad, who was guarding the outer perimeter defenses has fallen and even from the top of his citadel, Boreale could clearly see the column of Looted Leman Russ tanks and Killa Kans marching to his fortress. All of the Blood Ravens lined up for the final assault. The Crewmen of the Land Raiders and Predator tanks prayed to both the Emperor and the Machine Spirit for deliverance and protection, the Reclusiarch Chaplain gave a most wondrous and inspirational speech to the Marines with them foaming at the mouth with eagerness to kill the savage Orks who dared desecrate their lands. Epistolary Saribander, Commander Boreale's second in command told the Captain:

''Everything is prepared my Lord'' and with that silently and slowly: Commander Boreale drew his Chainsword, loaded his Bolt Pistol and went out.

While numerically the Blood Ravens were defeated, they made up for it with great fervor and the fact they were the Space Marines, the finest weapons of the Emperor. The Marines lined up outside the fortress gates, from high ground they could see the green tide of Orks and looted tanks headed their way but neither flinched, shook or broke a sweat, they knew this was their glorious end and they shall die honorably for the Immortal God-Emperor of man, their leader and father. Captain Boreale, the Epistolary and the Reclusiarch lined up in front of the men, ready for the fight of their lives....and their last one. Everyone was ready to charge just waiting for the Captain's word......closer and closer the Marines could feel the tanks' treads moving closer and in a split second Boreale ordered the charge with the battlecry:

''FOR TEH EMPRAH!'' And with that, a monumental bloodshed of biblical proportions started.

Bolter rounds and Shoota bullets whizzed through the air, the mighty guns stuck onto the backs of Thundering Squiggoths targeted the holy Land raiders they sought to charge as the latter fired away at the titanic green monsters. Screams were everywhere, the mighty cries of the Astartes drowned out with a deafening cry of "WAAAAAAAAGH!". The battle eventually fell down to a bloody melee combat.

''BREAK THE ENEMY LI.....'', the Chaplain was cut short by a titanic Power Klaw that snipped through his neck to claim his skull for the pole of a green goliath who towered over all the others, swatting aside marines like flies as he singled out Boreale. Though demoralised, they kept fighting for the sake of the Chapter's honour; to lose to a warboss whom Thule had defeated on Kronus would forever stain all of their names.

As the battle waged on, the ground was already colored blood red from the blood of both factions, however as their forces dwindled, more and more Orks poured from the trees, on foot, by vehicle, or on the backs of roaring squiggoths, it was Boreale's hundreds against Gorgutz's endless millions. Captain Boreale saw that they were outnumbered and fell back to higher ground.

The Marines reluctantly fell back with the WAAAGH! hot on their trail, the last of the first company's Terminators made available to him by order of Kyras made planetfall as Captain Boreale's honor guard. Captain Boreale ordered his Epistolary to take a squad and cover their flanks, taking 5 squads of battle-brothers, the Librarian obliged while Captain Boreale held the front. After 3 hours which seemed like an eternity however, Epistolary Saribander's forces were nearly eradicated. ''The Emperor protects us all!'' he yelled with a soft tone, charging a line of Orks with the last squad of Marines. One by one they fell until only the Epistolary remained, he kept charging, not minding that he is the only one left. Bullet after Bullet and Choppa after Choppa tore through his sacred armour as the Orks fell around him before Gorgutz stabbed him through the heart and made a cruel grin as he tore out the librarian's hearts and dropped him, sending him crashing to the ground flat on his face, his lifeless corpse picked up for the Green Tyrant to tear off his head and put it on his pole.

Things were not looking up for Captain Boreale either, his forces were cornered already making their last stand before the unstoppable might of the orks, a tiny island of red before the endless sea of greenskins large and small.

''We fight to the last man, brothers!'' A sergeant yelled to his compatriots, before being shot to pieces by howling Meganobz and shootas whooping from the backs of a squiggoth. By the time Gorgutz and his lieutenants, his thundering big meks and faithful companion "Stupid" arrived to finish the fight with his personal mob of nobz, meganobz, and flash gitz forcing their way through a sea of green barbarians, Boreale knew that it was over.

''We have fehled........THE EMPRAH.''

Captain Boreale shouted before being thoroughly riddled by what felt to him to be ten thousand rounds as every Greenskin from Gorgutz and the Flash Gitz to the lowliest Grot took a shot at him, all "aiming" low on Gorgutz's orders so that his head would be intact for his pole. But the body of any living organism, least of all an Astartes, is loathe to die quickly, and Boreale was not granted the mercy of fading into unconsciousness. His artificer armour and iron halo conspired to let him live to see the Orks finishing off his wounded brothers or the Meks and Lootas fighting over the best kit to steal. He would not have to suffer long however, as Gorgutz approached him with an evil grin and a laugh that made him shudder.

"Wot a noice lil bald 'ead you've got there 'umie. It's gonna look great next to yer matez on me pointy stikk."

"The Imperium...will...prevail...beast."

"Sure doesn't look like it ta me space muhreen. But thankz fer remindin' me, I need some impeeriuhl guard and sistuh 'eads on me stikk. I finkz I'll tear it off their neckz once I get to da first planet, right next to yourz. Yer emprah wouldn't want yer 'eadz mixin' with "xeeno" 'eadz after all."

"The chapter will...have...ven-" Gorgutz's klaw snipped through his neck like tissue paper and lifted his head towards Gorgutz's back, impaling it on the stikk reserved for loyal servants of the Emperor, doomed to forever stare out into the void until all flesh finally rotted off the skull.

"Oi, mekz, get da flash bitz off dis 'umie's corpse. I wantz sum upgrades fer me armour." He said, laughing as he walked off to swat off the banner of the blood ravens from its perch and slam the crude flag of his tribe into its place and let out a mighty roar of victory to his ladz. The Blood Ravens may have beaten him at Kronus, but they would forever remember this day as the day that Gorgutz put them in their place.

Unsurprisingly, his death has now been confirmed in ''Dawn of War II''. The Kaurava System campaign is remembered with shame and epic failure by the rest of the Blood Ravens with even Cyrus commenting on it being because of "the incompetence of Indrick Boreale."
This is presumably along the lines of how his defeat went, with DoWIII confirming that [[Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter]] and his Orks won the Kaurava campaign. And since the Blood Ravens and Orks both started on the same planet...
