Dark Angels vs Death Guard
Carac Ty-Balt stared up at the central mosaic, it depicted those of his own kind, fellow Deathwing Terminators of the Dark Angels Chapter, striking down a colossal, heretical daemon. The colours within the panes washed his bone-white armour in hues of crimson and green.
The vast chamber of cold steel was dark, save for the illumination of the mosaic, that shone into the central dias of the room. Carac watched the procession of Ecclesiarchy, their censer bearers filling the air with an aroma of warm spices, as they gave prayers to the Emperor and spoke aloud the Rites of Banishment around the gathered towering knights. The Terminators stood silently, paying heed to the importance of the moment, the rites being performed, each knew what they faced on the planet's surface below.
‘Brothers!’ Carac yelled out to his fellow elite of the Dark Angels, he pointed his power sword up at the floor-to-ceiling mosaic, highlighting his ancient brothers, imortalised in past deeds of heroism.
‘For the Emperor, for the Lion and for the Chapter, we purge the heretic in their name!’
The gathered Deathwing raised their weapons in unison, arcs of light sprang out above them, as the teleportarium from below came to life. Carac’s thoughts stayed with the mosaic, hoping to replicate it’s honour.
They were coming for the heretics, to deliver the Emperor’s justice.

Death Guard vs Grey Knights
Never in a hundred battles had Brother Captain Montague come across a viler place than this. Plumes of sickly green smoke issued from craters in the ground, fumes so thick even his re-breathers had trouble filtering out the smell. Heaps of writhing, rotting flesh wriggled across the ground, finding other smaller pieces of rotting flesh and merging with them. The sound alone would be enough to drive a man to madness, let alone the sight of it.
This was an unholy, blasted place. A festering ground for Nurgle. The heartland of its country. And that was why he was here. With his retinue to support him him, Captain Montague had accepted the challenge of bringing the Emperor’s holy flame to cleanse this world. The Hammers of Titan would burn the rot all the way to its roots, not because they could not destroy it from orbit, but because to do so would risk spreading the infection to other systems.
And so, they had worked tirelessly, the Grey Knights spreading promethium flame on all they could find. Until they had gotten here. To this place. To the dark fortress at the heart of the heartland. They had expected Nurgle’s presence on this planet, but they had not expected to find a contingent of Death Guard here.
Not long after spotting the fortress did Montague’s company begin taking fire. Huge balls of molten rot flew through the air and struck the ground around him, blasting holes in his force. He sounded the charge, Strike Marines zipping out of reality and reappearing atop the fortress’ walls to hack at the Death Guard manning the ramparts.
This would be the last battle of his ongoing mission, the last push before the world could be cleansed in the God Emperor’s name. He would see it done, or he would perish in this place. For such was the way of the servants of Mankind.
