## Battles

### Aetius Campaign

This campaign saw the Tempest Wolves on the 7th and 5th Packs assist the Diamond Knights in securing their home region from the Immortal Brethren a Nurgle Warband laying siege. (Tempest Wolves & Diamond Knights vs. Chaos)

### Siege of Dathiri

The Dathiri system has been under siege for decades by the time the Tempest Wolves 1st and 4th Packs arrived leading the Tyrheim Warhost and native Dathiri regiments who were outside the system at the time. The Orks of Waaagh! Deff 'hand led by Warboss 'ead Taker have been slowly taking planet after planet with Dathiri Prime, Secundus and Forge World Nathima being the remaining Imperium Worlds. (Tempest Wolves & Pyre Guards, Ash Wyrvens, Argent Executioners. vs Orks)

#### Battle of Dithari Secundus

Due to the religious nature of the Pyre Guards marine chapter, it was only natural that the defense of the holy shrine world would fall to them. The Pyre Guards would go about fortifying the central city with hardened bunkers connected by trenches and tunnels outside the city's ring wall. PDF and Guard artillery batteries would be placed behind the walls in empty lots in the suburbs while snipers were placed in the wall towers. Brush and undergrowth was cleared away by the flame while "borrowed" construction equipment flattened hills to allow fore better range. (WIP)
