Ultramarines vs Crimson Fists
"The sudden order shook the entire Ultramarines command deck.
***PRIORITY ORDERS RECEIVED***
***PREPARE STRIKE FORCE GAMMA FOR IMMEDIATE DEPLOYMENT***
***NEW TARGETS IDENTIFIED FOR EXTERMINATION***
***CRIMSON FIST STRIKE FORCE THETA***
From the bridge of the Battle Barge Unifying Might, Brother Captain Orellus had been conducting a Cleanse and Capture campaign that raged across the planet Embus. Though it was little more than a blasted desert, a roasting rock of little importance to the Imperium, the Ultramarines had pledged an oath to the Emperor to hunt purge the alien, the mutant, and the heretic, wherever it breeds. To abandon even the most Emperor-forsaken place was to forfeit the right to call yourself a son of Ultramar.
On the planet below, blasphemous whispers moved swiftly across its sandy plains, spreading madness among the population. The Ultramarines surgical strikes had sealed many pockets of chaos activity, each drop helping to make the planet that little bit safer. They had not asked the Crimson Fists for assistance, but their arrival had coincided with increased Chaos activity on the surface, and so their aid was not unwelcomed… or questioned.
When the order to engage the Crimson Fists came through, questions arose, but they went unanswered. The order was unequivocal, urgent, and final. Deploy. Engage. Exterminate. The Crimson Fists position was well fortified, Orellus knew. These weren’t bloodthirsty humans armed with whatever they could find, nor were they minor Daemons fresh from the warp. On the planet below was a contingent of Primaris Space Marines. Crimson Fists. Sons of Dorn. There would be casualties, there would be bloodshed.
But the order was final.
Emperor, protect us all."

Craftworlds vs Crimson Fists
The Farseer turned her eyes up to watch drop pods burn holes in the atmosphere like falling stars. The humans had come in force, likely responding to the same threat, even if she and her forces would likely become their first target. They were fools. Fools that had doomed themselves just as much as they had the rest of this planet, but they had no way of knowing that. Their minds, though altered, were mere children’s minds in comparison to that of the Aeldari.
Engaging them on the field was a risk, but it was one they would have to take if their mission was to succeed. The planet, the sector, perhaps even their very Craftworld depended on it.
She hurried, scurrying across the barren waste as fast as she could, relaying orders to her forces and preparing them for battle. Waves of Aeldari clad in yellow and purple, Iyanden colours, rallied at her call; Rangers taking their positions, Guardians preparing their shuriken catapults, Hemlock Wraithfighters taking to the skies and maintaining a tight formation overhead.
As the Astartes drop pods and Storm Ravens began to smash and land into the earth, shaking the ground and sending cracks rippling along the surface, the Farseer reached her webway portal. She stood before it, stretching her mind through the portal itself and sending her consciousness to the other side. There, sitting dormant on the other side, waiting for her call, the great monster stirred. She hadn’t wanted to wake it, had hoped she would not need to, but the hour was growing short, and they would not be able to defeat the Astartes without help.
Slowly, guided by the Farseer’s ethereal touch, the Wraith Knight ambled through the webway, arriving with a flash of light at the mouth of the portal. The towering construct turned its head low to regard its Farseer, bowed, and then gave its attention to the advancing humans. They were moving quickly, spots of blue amidst the red, barren landscape.
They would break themselves against the Aeldari here. Otherwise many more lives would be lost.

Crimson Fists vs Iron Warriors
Lightning ripped through a sky the color of old bruises. The scout marine’s camo cloak billowed in the wind, acidic rainwater making tiny holes in the fabric where it fell. His auspex array started to bleep, and he stuck his hand up, signalling for his squad to hold position. Carefully, he picked his way across black rocks to find a better position, then he readied his sniper rifle and pressed his eye against the scope.
Under normal conditions, the tactical display measured range, elevation. It even calculated precisely where the barrel should be aimed depending on what the soldier wanted to kill. But these weren’t normal conditions. The targeting display buzzed and flickered, and the numbers stopped making sense. As the space marine attempted to concentrate, he noticed words appearing on the display that shouldn’t have been there.
Blasphemous words he did not want to read.
He flicked a switch on the side of the scope and shut the display off, choosing instead to trust his own enhanced eyes. Ahead was the carcass of the small supply outpost the Adeptus Astartes had been sent to investigate. Already the situation looked grim. Its walls had been breached—not just breached, but torn down as if by some mighty beast. Its running lights were down, the power had gone out, but eerie lights flickered within the structure regardless causing sinister shadows to dance around inside its broken walls.
“Movement,” he said, his voice relaying into the earpieces of his squad and his direct commanders. “Take your positions, brothers.”
Like a well-oiled machine, the scouts moved into position, each finding a spot on which to rest their long-barrelled sniper rifles. Patiently the brother sergeant watched the compound, trying to analyse the shapes being cast in the dark. Tendrils. Fire. Great, hulking shapes. What in the Emperor’s name had befallen this wretched place?
Then it happened. Someone had exited the structure and had started running away from it. Human, panicked, fleeing. The space marine angled his rifle just so, trailing the human so his bullet would strike true should he need to squeeze the trigger. But the human wasn’t running toward the marines; he was running aimlessly, without direction, and into weather he would surely not survive inside.
Muzzle flashes caught his eye. Bullets followed the panicked human; not bullets, but bolter rounds. And the sergeant brought his sniper rifle to bear on the source of the shooting, he saw them. Their armor was thick, and ancient, and adorned with spikes. Their shadows loomed impossibly large, like monsters in themselves. Through a gap in the wall, the Iron Warriors spilled out. Having taken what they needed, they were ready to move on and taking a path that would see them move through the scout’s position.
Without fear, the sergeant trailed his weapon on one of the iron warriors, aimed, and gently squeezed the trigger. And seconds before his rifle spoke, he called in reinforcements.
“Brother captain,” he said, “Chaos sighted at these coordinates. Strike from the sky.”
