>Whatever prophecy we're supposed to be here for had better be very important
>Being ordered to simply hold position in the face of such overwhelming force is not what we are supposed to do
>The remnants of Hive Fleet Grábakr are almost upon us and this unfortunate planet
>Luckily, it took major damage from engagements with Necron forces before its back was broken in a battle of mutual annihilation with Waaagh! Doorkicka in 110.M42, but its battered remains still pose a grave threat
>The Imperials have been frantically fortifying everything they can over the last few months as the splinter fleet approaches
>Most of the civilian population has been evacuated offworld and reinforcements have been pouring in from across the segmentum and beyond
>Groxbridge is bristling with barricades and traps and every building sports sandbags, gun nests and even some rooftop heavy weapons
>Defoliant virus bombs have been planted across the planet to be detonated in overrun areas to deny biomass to the Tyranids, and cyclonic torpedoes are standing by should the world fall
>With the Shadow having descended several days ago the planet is now cut off and the only things one can do are fortify more and brace for impact
>Our own Webway portals are unaffected so we do possess an emergency exit
>The worsening headaches, nosebleeds, both mental and physical fatigue and great difficulty utilising farsight have made my job exponentially harder, and the others are suffering as well
>Outside of areas of military activity, a deathly calm has settled on the largely deserted city
>It certainly feels like the calm before the storm, as the humans like to say
>The Craftworld's lights, safety and bustle that project aura of security are a long way away
>Tolria has been working on the ancient offshore weapon array and its forts virtually since it was recaptured

>Even our own presence is barely tolerated, and only then because the Mechanicus demanded we share any findings
>So in return for our assistance in unlocking its secrets for you, we seek something in return

>The weather for the next 24h is looking cloudy and wet across the board with a high chance of heavy Bioform showers tomorrow morning, highs of up to 31C this afternoon, and 34C tomorrow
>And now, the music playlist for today!
>We went diggin' in the basement for some new tunes a couple weeks ago
>When looking, Leydas tripped and crashed through a wall into a hidden side room that looked like it hadn't been touched since the Dark Age
>Knowing this planet, that might well be the case
>Inside we found three two-sided records in a box labelled "FEELGOOD BANGERS" with some notes written in extremely archaic Low Gothic

>Be me, Lord Inquisitor Greger von Rosen
>We managed to secure Stonehenge, there are still things fucking around on van Kijeck island though I'm sure
>The xenos which managed to spawn the Eye of terror have helped us quite a bit
>With their aid, AL-psi managed to get the Fusion reactor back online and gun 1# is currently at 34.95% power
>The gun is expected to come back online in a few hours
>A fair few of them are there protecting the platform along with some skitarii
>More importantly, we've received some reinforcements, some of which were actually supposed to show up alongside me
>Several regiments of Guard and the groups of Skitarii that previously left are now back with us, thank the emperor
>Used the new ships to evacuate a most of Groxbridges population
>I have enough experience dealing with Tyranids to know that they enjoy a large degree of manoeuvrability
>The best course of action would be forcing them to assault, or better yet, inviting them to assault a position with a large amount of biomass
>Conscripted a fair amount of the criminal population of Groxbridge, 10% of the Archbishops militia has staid to defend their cathedral
>Most of the rubble from the previous battles hasn't been completely reused or destroyed, which gave me an idea
>Hab-bloqs provide fantastic firing positions
>Used the rubble to create a mighty defence around the perimeter of the city
>Led by the fists and with help from my men, the guard, the mechanicus and a load of servitors we've set up a "thrice-Emperor-blessed fuck-ton of defences" to quote the general along the outskirts of Groxbridge
>The rubble's been forged into a several meter thick wall against the Tyranids
>Guardsmen inside and on top of the hab-bloq wall able to constantly fire on the approaching Tyranids
>Heavy bolters, Lascannons, Autocannons and so on sticking out of holes, windows, cracks and so on in the hab-bloq walls all with overlapping fields of fire

>In front of the walls, Five meter long trenches filled with sharp metal pikes
>In front of the trenches, two hundred meters of landmines, IEDs and razor wire
>Well-hidden tarantula turrets in pillboxes positioned among the razor wire and the minefields
>Holes left open in the line for the main highway, these holes occupied by guardsmen, heavy weapons teams and one or two tank squadrons
>Dropped the bridges to our west, set up barricades on the highway but didn't damage the roads, can't afford to make our bait less viable
>Companies of Kriegers guarding the western downed bridges, the gaping Grox hole, the northern and eastern sections of clipper ridge and a large part of the southern forts
>The river Grox is quite rapid this time of year, it'd be inconvenient for the Tyranids to loose biomass by trying to cross it
>In my experience, Kriegers will hold the line against anything and everything they face
>I'm sure they'll take out 10 times their own numbers if the Tyranids attack from beyond the river Grox
>On top of all of that, the fists have deployed Earthshaker, Hydra and even a few Manticore platforms in the various buildings
>Most of this was the idea of the Imperial fist Captain and his two Lieutenants
>I shouldn't be impressed as this was to be expected, but I still am
>Finally, my last ace up my sleeve: a band of 6 veteran freeblades
>I picked up each one of them after successive engagements against the Tyranids, after which they've all sworn themselves to fight at my side
>They consist of the Crusader "Scourgebane", The Errant, "Burning lance", The Paladin, "Tyrantslayer", the Paladin, "Tannhäuser", the Warden, "Diamantine wrath" and their leader, the Castigator, "Lionheart"
>Each one a skilled slayer of Xenos, each one a nightmare to face off against in combat
>However, the Tyranids excel at surrounding targets and overrunning them, which is exactly what I want them to try

>Extending themselves over muddy terrain will mean less forces protecting their spawning pools, and the southern fort we've set up guarded by a mix of Kriegers and other regiments will work fantasticalyl well
>Part of the forces I commissioned happened to be none other than a regiment of Harakoni Warhawks
>I've stationed them in orbit on my Cruiser and on the ground near Groxbridge spaceport, which I've also fortified to the warp and back
>They, along with my Tempestus Scions, will be deploying with Grav-shutes and performing raiding attacks on the Tyranid landing zones
>An entire Cadian regiment is holding up at the space port squished between two bodies of water, we'll be able to maintain air superiority for quite some time I imagine
>I've allowed a group of civilians operating a vox station to stay on-planet, mainly due to the abnormally large laser they have on top of their establishment
>They have some good taste in music, and more importantly, a weapon which could be effectively used for air support
>They were also very receptive in my campaign to educate the troops on what Tyranids to shoot and where to shoot them
>Sent Lucius to hand them recordings of the top 100 songs voted by guardsmen all over the Imperium, told them to start playing them with zero commercial breaks from 15 hours before the bugs invade
>Now we just have to play the waiting game
>Whatever happens, we've already managed to scan the schematics of the mass drivers on Stonehenge and forwarded them to the nearest forge worlds and Mars herself
>I can only hope and pray it reaches the red planet
>Emperor preserve us

Here's a map detailing some troop positions and defences attached, Brown dotted lines signify barricades, trenches and defences in general, the thick red x's signify troop concentration and the thin red x’s show where the dropped bridges are located.
Not coloured in is Groxbridge, because holy shit that would be hard to look at.

>But then the Inquisitor produced a large crate of filled Spirit Stones and a consensus was very rapidly reached to play along
>For some unknowable reason, this esoteric piece of technology rejected all the wraithbone replacement components we crafted for it
>Unable to fix things the usual way, we had to do it the old-fashioned method
>That being with crude manual tools like spanners, hammers and soldering irons
>How the Imperials manage to fix anything with these primitive things is a mystery

>It's turning out to be a nice way to get away from the leadership duties for a while
>The mix of the baking summer heat and high humidity means it's oppressively muggy
>Still, the others have taken a liking to the old Terran music they have blaring over the worksite from the vox, back from before it was just battle music and propaganda
>I should learn to play the guitar someday, as crude an instrument as it is some say it has merit and it would no doubt turn heads on the Craftworld
>Heh, an Eldar playing a human string instrument would turn heads anywhere
>Anyway, we've managed to repair and restart the reactor and Guns II, IV and V have been successfully test fired, applying reverse triage to fix the quickest first
>VII and VIII were too damaged to fix in time; III and VI are still in the queue and I is being powered up right now
>By the time the forces of the Great Devourer arrive, we should have four of the eight great guns online
>The sea forts around the island have also been repaired, with the batteries of powerful archaeotech weapons ready to provide a nasty surprise to any enemies that get close, especially airborne ones

>Currently sipping tea as I listen to the other officers of the regiment provide updates on the construction of the defenses
>Due to the upcoming Tyranid invasion, the Colonel sent word to his clan in the Gilded Worlds to send the best siege engineers and artillery that money can buy, and as a result, our positions at Oak Green and Alabaster are probably more heavily fortified than any on the planet except those of the Kriegers and the Praetorians
>Most of the officers in the room are professional soldiers from the Gilded Worlds, while refugees from Happy Ending like myself are now in the minority, valued for our local knowledge and connections but not much else

>The "incident" at van Kijeck Island is thankfully never discussed, and I have largely been able to suppress the memory of it along with all the other terrifying and humiliating experiences so far in my career with the Guard
>The upcoming Tyranid invasion worries me more then a bit though, despite the massive fortifications that we have erected around Groxbridge, the 'Nids are relentless and cunning opponents

>It turns out the alliance between Chaos and a certain shadowy faction of the Tau was deeper than I thought
>Although the main ritual at Stonehenge was quashed via use of the bident, Chaos insurgents unleashed one of their secondary rituals on Liveria out of spite, turning a large chunk of the population into mutants and other warp spawn bound to the will of Slaanesh and Tzeentch, not to mention another flood of daemons
>Serves the Tau right for allying themselves with such madmen, but to be fair, they also still think I am their ally (despite the fact that I secretly capture dozens of Tau and their proxies every night)
>Long story short, with the defeat of the Tau forces at Stonehenge and the corruption of most of their forces at Liveria, my dreams of turning Damnatum Lutum into a well run, vibrant, cosmopolitan planet under the command of the Tau (which would have also been a great hunting ground for the Kabal) is ruined for now, and short term the best I can hope for is a return to the boring status quo of having Lutum being yet another dreary Imperial world
>Which means ironically I am now keeping my word to that stuck up Farseer and indirectly helping their dimwitted Imperial allies maintain control of this world by leading the remnants of the Tau forces to sabotage whatever master plan the forces of Chaos are up to now
>Which apparently involves creating a large number of warp portals to Groxbridge and Stonehenge, among other locations

Number two, they are building arcane portals to Groxbridge, Stonehenge, and possibly other locations
Number three, we don't know their objectives, but the bident and the Stonehenge weapon seem likely targets

Okay kid, first of all, you have to take off the uniform, impersonating an officer is a capital offense

Ladies and gentlemen of the 531st Cadian Regiment as well as the 78th Risian Light Infantry, we are facing a battle unlike anything we have experienced. But do not let this deter you, we are some of the finest soldiers this side of the system, and some of you deserve medals when we make it back home. We will be facing the combined forces of the Ork menace, the cowardly Tau, the heretical Dark Eldar, and ravenous Tyranids. However, knowing the men and women in front of me, we are more than ready. If we do end up dying today, know that you are heroes in the eyes of the Emperor, and that you will be alongside him...

To clarify what the map markers mean:

Purple are 'nids
Grey blobs are debris
Red are the Imperials

The thicker the line, the greater the troop concentration. Single dots represent battlecruisers/cruisers/light cruiser etc. and their escorts, the escorts are, for the most part, not shown, excluding the drones around the hive ship. Since they're in a 3D space the map can be a little misleading but they're in an environment where they're basically like this, all the debris aren't shown because then there'd be nothing but grey to look at.

>Scruffles has his uses to, his strange magic allows him to control the swamp wildlife with his thoughts, using them to attack the small aquatic Ripper variants that have been so deadly to our forces
