The planet of Athanos and their major hive city Athanos Prime, which lie on the outer edge of Segmentum Tempestus, are soon to become a place of destruction and mayhem. This outlying planet is abundant with rich minerals that the Imperium desperately needs for its factories. In order to protect this flow of resources, the Athanos Imperial Regiments were born. The Athanonian 5th, the most known of the Athanos Regiments, are known for routing Waaagh! Killfang out of the system. Being on the edge of the Imperium they are constantly under raids from the different abominations the system has to offer. A splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Leviathan has veered off in search of its next meal and is heading straight towards Athanos. In anticipation of this attack all the Athanos Regiments stand at the ready to fend off this major threat. This outlying world also bears the Necrons tombs and the deep mining into the crust of the planet has awakened these monsters. The Daemon Gods followers on Athanos have called for their master’s help in destroying this planet and enslaving its inhabitants to the Daemons ways. Even the scheming Tzeentech has looked to join into the slaughter. Also the Orks of Waaagh! Killfang have returned to the system, their boss looking for vengeance and “anuver good ‘ight against dem umies”. With already one of the Imperial Guard regiments corrupted the system is in turmoil. This collection of the enemies of the Imperium has gained the attention of the Adeptus Astartes and the Ordo Hereticus. The Ordo have commanded the dispatch of the Order of the Sacred Sky of the Adepta Sororitas and the Adeptus has responded in force with the Imperial Fists going to assist the other imperial troops in fighting the xenos both are monitoring for any signs of heresy or mutation. The descent of these Space Marines and Sisters is the final piece of the puzzle bringing a new kind of pressure on the defenders of Athanos to hold the line and keep their home.

This is the background for my second campaign and first that is being run at my college. I will be uploading one battle report a week with video hopefully! There are alot of different armies playing in this campaign so it should be interesting and we will be playing once a week until we finish the campaign in a giant apocalyptic battle for domination. My first battle report will be uploaded if all goes well on the 18th.
