Battle Summary
The battle for Sydneaous Primary Hive, home to Trugoy’s astropathic relays and largest choir, will be remembered as a stirring Loyalist victory for centuries to come. The opening phases of the siege saw the Traitor forces of Horus Lupercal flood the plains around the gargantuan hive with war machines, artillery emplacements and god engines of the traitor legios. Headed by Perturabo’s warsmiths and logsticians the traitors dug in and sighted their guns at the spires of the hive.
For three weeks the citizens of Sydneaous and their valiant defenders were subjected to constant bombardments and blitzes. Hundreds of thousands of loyal Imperial subjects murdered in cold blood by the war accountants of the Iron Warriors legion and their allies. The shield wall surrounding the hive held for longer than anyone thought possible, finally succumbing to the traitor ministrations just before dawn on the twenty-first day. However instead of a cowed defeated force behind the walls, the first traitors through the breach were met by a ferocity born of desperation.
The psychotic soldiers of Angron’s World Eater legion were the first into the hive, breaching the walls in spartan and land raider transports before throwing themselves on the defenders lines, they were met by the disciplined bolter fire of the Imperial Fists. Bloody close quarter battles raged for days through all levels of the hive complex. Street by street the Traitors pushed themselves into the guts of Sydneaous, knowing the only way to take the Astropathic relays intact was to claw their way up the spires, inch by inch.
The civilian death toll climbed into the millions, the murderous Night Lords and debased traitors of the third legion taking great pleasure in reaping the human population like cattle and letting their blood flow like rivers down the levels of the hive. The siege reached a crescendo on the grounds of the Astropathic temple, thousands of legionaries clashing in the shadows of god engines and super heavy war machines. Angron and Perturabo personally taking to the field to crush the loyalist forces arrayed in defence of Sydneaous.
However, after hours of bloody fighting the loyalists had beaten back the warmaster’s hordes and were starting to push them from the hive. Having weathered the best the traitors could throw at them the loyalists emerged from behind their barricades and inside bunkers with a fury unmatched. Hounding the retreating traitors and cutting them down without mercy, the traitors now running for their lives left their war machines and even comrades behind in their rush to escape Sydneaous and the retaliation of its defenders.
Sydneaous would be a stain upon Lupercal’s forces and the site of one of their greatest defeats.
