24 April 2011: [Message from astropaths of the Imperial Navy at the Cadian Gate to Duke Zeller, ruler of Planet Uradel]
Noble Duke, we have troubling news. The Planet Scelus has been suddenly enveloped by a Warp Storm, and many units of Space Marines and Imperial Guard are now trapped on its surface. The Uradeln 21st Regiment is among those trapped. Your cousin, Colonel Sir Zeller, is trapped there along with his regiment.
It is speculated that the Traitor Sons of Malice are responsible. Knowing that they were sure to lose the planet, their sorcerers had been summoning great numbers of Warp Spawn, and yet still the forces of the Imperium were on the verge of triumph. They must have had a cabal of sorcerers with prodigious powers to have pulled this off, however, we remain optimistic that the forces of the Emperor will yet triumph and that the storms will abate, though we have no way of knowing when the latter will occur. These storms can last for any amount of time, ranging from weeks to centuries.
For now, we must trust in the Emperor, for the Imperium's normal methods of travel and communication with Planet Scelus are now impossible. The Warp surrounding this region has become too chaotic for a starship to safely travel through or for an astropath to send or receive a telepathic message through the psychic "interference."
The Emperor Protects!
[End Transmission]

16 April 2011: Traitor Sons of Malice turn to desperate tactics
16 April 2011: The Uradeln 21st Regiment went to the assistance of a Grey Knights task force and forces from another Space Marine chapter in order to once more eradicate the foul denizens of the Warp from planet Scelus. The Warp spawn are being summoned by the Sons of Malice Chaos Space Marines, who dare not fight us directly, as we have devastated their numbers in this brutal war of attrition which favors ultimate victory for the Imperial Guard. Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, under Captain Ryan Easterling gave a good account of themselves while fighting bravely alongside the Space Marines.
The favored tactic was to position the Space Marines in the front, where they could serve as a buffer against the slavering Warp spawn, while the Uradelns poured on a murderous barrage of fire, both direct and indirect. This plan worked well for Lieutenant Whitcomb and 2nd Platoon (HUG) on the left, with the Grey Knights, who were willing to cooperate with our leadership's wisdom. Unfortunately, the other Space Marine chapter was unwilling to be a team player, lacking the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the slavering hordes of Warp spawn. They fled during the course of the battle and it was left to Commissar Vona (Valour Medal, 2nd Class), Lieutenant Wingate (Valour Medal, 3rd Class), and the men of 1st Platoon (HUG) to hold the right flank. This they did with admirable valour. For their bravery and sacrifice, 1st Platoon, Charlie 1-21 has been awarded the Valour Medal, 3rd Class, as a Unit Award.
"Fear is naught, for my faith is strong."

8 April 2011
8 April 2011: The Uradeln 21st Regiment and Imperial forces all across planet Scelus are now inexorably on the offensive against the forces of Chaos. Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, under Captain Ryan Easterling, have defeated the Sons of Malice Chaos Space Marines, who are now few in number and abandoned by the Black Legion. The latter have given up their nefarious designs for planet Scelus and have fled the system!
The Archenemy employed their despicable Warp powers against 1st and 3rd HUG platoons, under Lieutenants Wingate and Link respectively. Despite the machinations of Chaos, both platoons defeated the Traitor Marines that were sent to assault them.
Lieutenant Link (Valour Medal, 3rd Class) boldly ran 3rd platoon straight towards their objective, directing their lasguns in a massive volley that wiped out the Traitor Marines who were guarding the Promethium Refinery. Commissar Vona (Valour Medal, 3rd Class) then inspired 3rd platoon with distinction, and these men bore the brunt of the close combat with the Archenemy, suffering heavy casualties but eventually emerging victorious and then taking their objective along with a chaos cultist prisoner! 3rd Platoon, Charlie 1-21 has received the Valour Medal, 3rd Class, as a Unit Award.
"For the Emperor!"

1 to 2 April 2011: The 69th Cadian Mechanized arrives to bolster embattled Uradeln units
1 April 2011: Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, has met the enemy once more! While advancing through a jungle region of planet Scelus, 2nd and 3rd Platoons, under the direct command of Captain Ratliff, were set upon by the insidious Eldar. Wraithlords, giant monstrosities ten meters tall marched behind a wall of lesser wraithguard, automatons taller even than Astartes. Jetbikes swept out in vanguard, only to be annihilated by the full power of 2nd HW HUG platoon, and Sgt. Neuehoffe's sentinels. Their vile and debased psykers harnessed the vile power of the warp, scattering Bravo's most destructive weapons off target. However, their vile sorceries were no match for the Emperor's righteousness! Lascannons blasted huge chunks from their monstrous walkers, quickly disabling all of them! On the other side of the battle, several Xenos infantry squads held a primary objective. They fired throughout the battle, but were so pathetic that Bravo simply ignored them. Finally 1st Platoon (HUG) under Commissar Raege arrived and advanced in short order. The enemy was quickly overwhelmed and either captured or killed.
2nd and 3rd Platoons found themselves in close combat against the enemy wraithguard. Unimaginably tough, they were nearly impossible to kill, having no vital organs and no fear. However, not once did the valiant Uradelns step back! Sgt. Neuehoffe (Valour Medal, 3rd Class) ordered her sentinels into close combat, buying time to secure the objectives and move the infantry to safety.
Once successful, all units disengaged and withdrew. The 12th Caladani Artillery Regiment has begun saturation bombardment, and no enemies are believed to have survived.
2 April 2011: The next day, in another part of the jungle, Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, under Captain Oelschlaeger, were attacked by the mindless, gibbering spawn from the Warp. Commissar Mailloux, Lieutenants Rezner and Schwartz, and the men of 1st and 2nd Platoons (HUG), all earned the Valour Medal, 3rd Class Posthumously for bravely holding the line against the most horrific creatures that the Archenemy can throw against the Imperium of Man. The Ordo Malleus of the Holy Inquisition and their allies, the Grey Knights, have been sent in to banish the warp spawn and to close the Warp rift from whence they came into the material universe.
On a much lighter note, that same day the men of Alpha Company, 3rd Battalion, under Captain Kipton Burba, conducted an enjoyable and educational training exercise with our Regiment's newly arrived allies, the 69th Cadian, Mechanized, in a desert region of planet Scelus, far behind the front lines while on R&R.
