An Uprising Crushed
With the Heresy taking root across the entire galaxy, the loyal forces of Magnus and his Thousand Sons attempt to control an uprising on a backwater planet, newly brought into the Imperial fold.
Despite his outward appearances and continued use of sorcerous powers, Magnus maintains his loyalty to the Emperor and the Imperium. However it can be seen that he is employing devastating war engines in his pursuit of Imperial dogma.
With him is a small contingent of Alpha Legionnaires, eager to learn from the Cyclopean Primarch.

The formation of Leman Russes advanced and destroyed the predators in the middle of the city. The Alpha legion assault marines advanced to the middle of the board under the support fire from thrie tactical commrades.
