Drukhari vs Imperial Knights
It was to be the trophy of a generation. Four Imperial Knights had been detected lumbering through a ruined city, likely moving from one battle zone to another. It was in that very same ruined city that a Drukhari Archon and her raiding force had not hours before claimed slaves for the dark city, and treasures for her personal collection. Oh, how the fates had aligned this day to present her with an opportunity for incredible gains.
Quickly, she set up an ambush. The Imperial Knights were slow, and would be forced to move down a centre street lest they risk damaging their metal boxes by charging through crumbling buildings. Her scourges took to the sky, as did some of the heavier units in her force. Eager Kabalite Warriors took to their Venoms and hid amongst the ruins as the Knights approached, their engines running silently, their blasters primed.
She was gambling not only with her own life but with the lives of the pirates and miscreants under her command. Still, none objected to the plan, for they would be bathed with renown if even one of the Mon’keigh sitting inside of those metal monsters could be pulled out and brought back to the Arena alive.
Perhaps she was being greedy, perhaps she should’ve taken to the webway as soon as the Knights’ impressive shadows were spotted lurking in the distance. She knew her splinter weapons would be useless against them. Her planning would have to be precise, her strikes deathly accurate. But what was life without a little risk?

Necrons vs Imperial Knights
Warhorns blared across the blasted land, shaking the very earth loose. Titanic feet thundered, cracking the ground beneath them. There was no need for subtlety here, for the enemy knew of their approach. No. The Castellan in command of the Knights force wanted instead to intimidate, to strike fear into the hearts of his foe.
It did not matter to him that his foe had no heart. That his foe had only metal where there should have been flesh. That his foe could not be shaken in this way. This was how battles had been fought for millennia. First you sound the drums of war, then you dance to the beat with Stubbers and Battle Cannons.
Across from the monstrous, lumbering line of Imperial Knights—their target—stood a dark monument crackling with green energy. A Monolith to the ancient enemy, the Necrons. The sky above the edifice was dark and sinister, black clouds swirling around a beam of light shooting into the heavens.
Beneath the Monolith, a legion of undead, mechanical warriors stood stoically against the march of the Imperial Knights. Thunder grumbled overhead. Arcs of lightning flashed, illuminating their metallic armour in ethereal shades of green. These warriors did not move. They did not flinch. They did not balk at the advancing Imperial forces. Instead they waited, standing as still as statues, their eyes hollow and dead.
Until the Overlord began to move.
His steps were slow, deliberate. He moved to the frontlines, a tattered cloak billowing behind him. His eyes burned with fiery, green light; defiant against the war machines encroaching on his domain. Slowly he raised the orb held in his hand, and he stared into its dark surface. By his will, the orb sparked to life, green whips of energy rippling out from inside.
Once again, he looked to the Knights, all the while slowly raising the orb in his hand. Behind him, a sea of dark eyes suddenly shone bright green, and the warriors in perfect synchronicity leveled their weapons as, around them, from underground, more mechanical constructs begun to rise.
