The Battle for Sinac

  A warp rift has been torn in the fabric of realspace in the Sinac system, disgorging a ship out of time, a world eaters leigon vessel! 

  Breaking through the orbital defenses, the brutal ship let loose with dropships and drop pods to the realing planet below. As Ultramarine forces gather at Silac city outskirts to repel the invaders.

The Ultramarine's defenders; from left to right; a vindicator, A recon squad, a dreadnaught talon containing three contemptors, a catifracti armored librarian, and a Thallaxi cohort.

The World Eaters invaders; from left to right (a (diminished) 10 man squad of assault marines, The Red Butchers, Karn the Bloody, Leigon master Loke(contemptor Dreadnaught), and a (diminished) 10 man squad of assault marines.)

This match was conducted using the new 7th edition rules, maelstrom mission "contact lost" and tactical objectives.
