17 June 2011: The brilliant Captain Easterling, commander of Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, has duped the Eldar foe! Faced with three separate Eldar factions, each led by a Farseer, which is a powerful psyker, our maverick Captain convinced one Farseer to defect. Thus did he use the Xenos warriors against each other and during the course of the battle our brave soldiers assassinated the other two Eldar Farseers, inflicted crippling casualties upon the Xenos scum, and ensured that the Eldar defectors suffered massive casualties so that at battle’s end the few allied Xenos survivors could be taken prisoner! 2nd Platoon (HUG) suffered over 60% casualties to Eldar shooting and flamer weapons before being assaulted by jetbikes. They slugged it out and eventually defeated that foe before being finished off by still more enemy forces. Commissar Vona, who was the lone survivor of 2nd Platoon (HUG) received the Wound Badge 3rd Class. Troopers Gotred and Felix, a Lascannon team, were awarded the Valour Medal 3rd Class. The pair came under enemy fire and the rest of their squad was killed, but they stuck it out and brought down the Eldar Walkers, blew up an Eldar transport tank – killing three nearby Xenos warriors and exposing the second enemy Farseer to die – and rushed a ruined building where the allied Eldar Farseer and his warriors were locked in a swirling melee with enemy Guardian squad. Once the enemy saw their cannon they fled and this action proved pivotal. The allied Farseer, the only one of the three left alive, had been wounded and was easily captured, along with the pitifully few remaining Eldar forces.

4 and 10 June 2011: The Scelus Warp Storms are lifted
4 and 10 June 2011: Wonderful news! The Warp Storms around Planet Scelus have abated and the Uradeln 21st Regiment, as well as allied Imperial Guard regiments and Space Marines, are alive and well. Piratical Eldar raiders must have been waiting for the end of the Warp Storms around Planet Scelus because as soon as they lifted the foul Xenos struck. The raiders were checked by the stalwart men of Alpha Company, 3rd Battalion, under Captain Kipton Burba. Their flimsy vehicles, while fast, were cut apart like paper Mache by our disciplined weapons fire. As a result, they could not hit 1st Platoon (HUG), under Lieutenant Stiner, in sufficient numbers and we ground them down. The men were inspired by the personal example of the resolute Commissar Medovich and fought heroically even though they sustained heavy casualties. 1st Platoon, A Co, 3rd Battalion has been awarded the Valour Medal 3rd Class as a Unit Award.
On the 10th the Xenos raiders struck again, this time in conjunction with the Black Legion, and we won a glorious victory over the enemies of Mankind! Whether or not these two enemies of the Imperium were working together or if they just happened to both be going after the same target is uncertain. Nevertheless, the brave Uradelns of 1st Platoon, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, under Lieutenant Werdehausen, who were on a patrol, dealt heavy casualties to the enemy, particularly to the Eldar skimmers. Our allies, Space Marines in grey livery from an unknown chapter, were able to drive the Black Legion Chaos Space Marines away from a critical bridge after the brave sacrifice of Commissar Fortier (Valour Medal 3rd Class, Posthumous) and 1st Platoon (HUG), who held them off long enough for the Terminators to arrive from orbit.

24 April 2011: Scelus is enveloped in a Warp Storm
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!

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.

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.

20 to 21 March 2011: Victories on the ground and in space
20 March 2011: The entirety of the mighty Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, under Captain Nathaniel Ratliff, took to the field and won a glorious victory over the traitor Sons of Malice Chaos Space Marines! 3rd Platoon (HUG) was charged by two enemy captains riding on hateful creatures of the warp, along with an enemy squad. The brave guardsmen of 3rd Platoon piled into the enemy, dragging traitor Astartes down from their abominable mounts and to their deaths. 3rd Platoon suffered the most casualties and bore the brunt of the most brutal fighting, and the unit has been awarded the Valour Medal, 3rd Class. Another enemy commander deep struck into the battle - too close to Imperial lines - and was cut down by Commissar Raege's 1st Platoon. Heavy weapons took a heavy toll once again, cutting enemies down from across the battlefield. Bravo Company suffered moderate casualties, which shall be replaced, while dealing the Archenemy a devastating blow: 20 Sons of Malice slain, 3 vehicles destroyed, and their warp beasts banished back to the aether!
The next day we received glorious news from space! After many battles, which our own forces have long been on the losing end of, the Imperium has emerged Triumphant! The supplement of lighter dictator class cruisers from Kadesh has allowed us to overwhelm the enemy with ordinance targets, forcing them back on the defensive before they can recover!
After destroying the Aelionos Eternus in the opening stages of the battle, the chaos forces drew if for the kill, only for the Imperial navy to unleash a devastating torpedo barrage, crippling most of their fleet. Behind the torpedoes came waves of bombers. The chaos fleet broke off and attempted to flee into the warp.
"All tubes! FIRE!! Blow them out of the stars!"
