Wow Chaos was defending and it was one tough bloody mess on both sides as Chaos held the Castle by the skin of their teeth.

Turn 1.....Traitor Guard takes the role of the Castle Garrison as the traitor Commander Pathos Estotis holds the center castle against the full might of the Emperors finest and best assualt troops. Pie plates fall as Orbital bombardment destroys a Chaos vindi, the Command Center and the adjoining walls. Several minor deaths as units fire at each other, a funny thing happened to the Imperial Librarian a teleport misshap lead him to drop far away from his kin and right into 2 Bezerker units. The bezerkers surround and kill him in a close combat meat fest. Obliterators destroy the enemy whirlwind.

Turn 2... Dam almost all of the Chaos reserves come down way to early dropping my much needed terminators on the wrong side of combat. Well more shooting and little happens as the Imperials figure out what is going on and why all these Chaos guys just rush in from everywere. A vet Havoc squad is wasted killing 9 out of 10. Termies arrive to early on the wrong side of the battle feild and every other unit is scattered randomly grrr.

Turn 3....Things turn bad as Bezrekers press the close combat to the dreads, chaos bikers arrive in the enemy rear causing further confusion followed by demonic Furies turning the assault troops at the last moment. A vet sgt of the Traitor Guard holds the breach alone against the hordes of assault troops. Chaos marines loose 2 10-man Havoc squads and a 5-man termie squad and several large CSM units are wittled down 20-30 marines die by pie and close combat. I start to worry if I can win this battle.

Turn 4....After seeing my chaos marines slaughtered in large numbers, and assault troops being held at the breached walls by a lone vet sgt who has just died. My lone 5-man termi squad in close combat and locked in brutal bloody combat as my last termie kills off the last Sangaius Squad the enemies HQ team. I have some luck as the Imperial marines who had me rihgt were they wanted me turn and run. I am scratching my head but very releaved they no longer wanted to fight my troops stop as the enemy pulls back, I look at my casulties and my marines took heavy losses and wait.... my garrison troops the Traitor guard lost what?..A 10-man vet unit and a tech priest and they held the castle. I am a happy man if my pathetic guard can hold off the finest troops the Emperor can throw at me....I award the honor of Arrows of Chaos to my Garrison Comander Pathos Estotis for his mens great bravery in the face of such a challenge. But those marines will be back and they know are strengths now and will come at us with a greater furry then before. Khorne will protect us as we are his greatest servents...untill the next battle....
