The Tyranid threat on Skyren continues as a small Imperial fortress comes under attack. The view shows the 'Nids advancing on the defensive wall manned by a Platoon of the Royal Guard of the PDF. The first casualty is a Homogaunt...
On the 'Nids right some genestealers are brought down as well as several strikes against a Carnofex...But the defenders suffer as well, two heavy weapon teams are gone...A Biovore (a very old model, hence the size difference) is destroyed...The PDF strikes hard, taking down 'Gaunts and the wounded Carnofex...The defenders are hitting the 'Nids hard, but they still can't stop them from reaching the wall. Heavy weapons have basically been cleared off the wall...Some 'Gaunts make it over the wall to take out a PDF Heavy Bolter but are finally destroyed...Its disaster on the left wall however, the defenders are wiped out! Out of sight at the exterior base of this wall are genestealers...Then they are over the wall, accompanied by their Broodlord. Fortunately, the Imperial reserves have an effective volley destroying numerous genestealers...The third Platoon of the Royal Guard sells their lives dearly, wiping out and killing the Bloodlord!Another autocannon is lost to Barbgaunts and Termagaunts (top of photo)fire...The remaining Carnofax along with the Tyranid Warriors takes down the gate as the Royal Guard forms up the last survivors...The last autocannon is destroyed leaving the defenders with no more heavy weapons just as they need them...The Royal Regiment tries to hold to the last, but they are simply overwhelmed. The Fortress has been lost!
