Merchant:
Hi all - now I have finally started the army of Iron Warriors, will battle Vasquez’s Sisters of Battle this December :o
But for now, there is only the background story:enjoy :cheers
- In a dark and gothic time, humanity fights to survive in a hostile universe. Now hell has come to Hydra Cordatus, for Perturanbo�?Ts force of terrifying Iron Warriors, brutal assault troops of Chaos, have invaded the planet and lain siege to its mighty Imperial citadel. But what prize could possibly be worth so much savage bloodshed and destruction?
Jade lightning speared from the sky, casting an emerald hue across the battered spires and crumbling walls of Perdictor. The Demon Prince Gilgamesh of the Iron Warriors stood silhouetted by the flickering lightning, heavy rain falling in drenching sheets and running from his baroque armour. Brackish water filled the craters and ran in foamy rivers along the tracks of his armoured vehicles. The city sprawled beneath a brooding sky, crackling with psychic energies, and Gilgamesh stared at the massive breach his artillery had blown in its curtainwall. Armoured warriors in the panoply of the Black Legion guarded the breach, preventing him from marshalling the city�?Ts insane population and performing the ritual that would open the gateway into the Eye of Terror. The rumble of the approaching storm was a sign that he and his warriors had little time before their chance to open the gateway passed. The Warsmith Hansou was fast approaching the planet and his ships needed swift passage through.
The great Perturabo himself had commanded the gateway be open, and Gilgamesh was not so mighty that he did not fear the wrath of his Legion�?Ts daemonic progenitor. The gateway would be open or he would pay with his very existence. He turned from the breach to face a Black Legion warrior held immobile against a half-submerged slab of rockcrete by two of his most favoured warriors. His armour had been removed, and his body lay broken and haggered. Bloody rainwater streamed downs the slab into the crater. Behind him, disciplined ranks of Iron Warriors awaited their Daemon Prince�?Ts order to attack.
Gilgamesh leaned down to face the mutilated warrior, his lips drawn back to reveal yellowed and dripping fangs. He unsheathed his black sword; the edge lined with ghostly light, and pressed the tip against the captive�?Ts sternum.
�?oWhy does your Legion stand before us?�?� hissed the Daemon Prince, pushing the sword slowly into his victim�?Ts chest. The Black Legionary groaned, his face twisted in agony. The sword cut deeper into his flesh as Gilgamesh twisted the blade, lifting the warrior from the slab and holding him suspended on the weapon.
�?oThis is the last time I will ask. Why do the Black Legion seek to prevent me opening the gateway?�?� the warrior moaned as his own weight dragged him further along the blade. His eyes rolled back in their sockets as he whispered, �?oThe gateway must remain secret. The Imperium cannot learn of it and your Warsmith is sure to be pursued here�?�
Gilgamesh did not give him the chance to finish, ripping his sword upwards through the warrior. The body splashed into the crater. The Daemon Prince turned to his warriors as the rumble of thunder built and lightning spilt the sky once more. If Abaddon�?Ts minions thought they would prevent him from carrying out his Primarch�?Ts orders, they were mistaken.
He raised his dripping sword and gave the order to advance.
