40K Operation Linebreaker 13 August

OPERATION LINEBREAKER
TANK SHOCK - THE RENEGRADE FOUNDRIES

The forge world of Alastoris is a pivotal supplier of tanks and war machines for the Imperial cause, and as such it has fallen under the malicious gaze of many renegade and xenos factions.

But the greatest threat came from within - dark powers whispered to many of the planet's most senior foundry chiefs, promising untold glories if the would turn the armoured might of their factories upon their allies. So a dark pact was sworn and in the planet's darkest hour all but a handful of Alastoris' foundries turned renegade and aimed the full fury of their guns at any targets that remained loyal to the Emperor.

Scattered and scarred, the surving Imperial forces fought desperate mechanised battless against the traitor forces, stalling for time while Imperial reinforcements were rushed to the planet. Meanwhile, other renegade and xenos threats made planetfall, perhaps joined with the foundries in some sinister alliance or striking out of brutal opportunism. The fate of Alastoris would soon be sealed.
