The battle of cold steel ridge-apocalyptic battle

[mughi3]

A little update with an epic battle that took several weeks of planning. our 5th ed apocalypse game  as such i decided to put it in it's own topic. 

 

The battle of cold steel ridge-the battle for Macragge against hive fleet behemoth.

 

Calgar was there, the swarm lord was there and the baneblade was there. As per the scenario the defenders of ultramar were hard pressed being outnumbered by the tyranid horde. 

 

 

The start of the battle

 

 

 

 

Doesn't look to bad right?

 

then everything else dropped on to the battlefield. 

 

 

 

The  defenders rallied and pushed back the onslaught at least briefly

 

a lone surviving kreigman filled with devotion even charged out beyond the wall and charged into onrushing gaunts...and his faith prevailed for he held the line and survived!

 

 

 

 

Then the 3rd wave hit

 

 

 

 

 

The outcome of this battle looked to follow the actual lore quite directly.
