===The Megaborealis Throwdown===

A Mechanicus stronghold, Megaborealis was thought unassailable by '''Ipluvius XIV''', the [[Tech_Priest_Dominus|Magus Dominus]] in command of the Skitarii forces there, enough that he let himself get distracted by his studies. However, a squad of Ork [[Ork_Kommando|Kommandos]] begged to disagree and brought down the hive's forcefield. The massive Speed Freekz attack that followed, coupled with a [[Just As Planned|simultaneous attack by genestealer cultists]], caused the magos' cogitators to freeze up due to the stress, leaving the defenders without coordination. It was bad enough that the cultists were able to steal a [[Warp_Weapons#Imperial_Variants|Vortex Missile]] and detonate it in the middle of the Hivesprawl, destroying countless Imperial war assets including the [[Warlord Titan]] '''Dominus Rex'''.

In a decisive move, Archmagos '''Nesium Caldrike''' took control of the remaining defenders, and coordinating with elements of the [[Iron Hands]] Clan Kaargul put a stop to the Genestealer shenanigans, for now at least.

While all of ''this'' was happening, the [[Imperial Guard]] was making a large-scale counterattack with the aim of reinforcing Megaborealis. The armored convoys of [[Leman_Russ_Battle_Tank|Leman Russes]] and [[Chimera Transport|Chimera]]s took a heavy toll on the greenskins, but all this just seemed to draw more and more mobs of Speed Freekz to the convoys.
