Betalis III Campaign - Wrath of Titans: As the Imperium's waves of reinforcements began to spread out across the besieged eastern continent of Betalis III, the Legio Gryphonicus had already engaged once more with the Aeldari Titans of the Mymeara craftworld.Still following their original orders, given to them by Inquisitor Lord hestaphus Danzk earlier that day, the princeps of the Titan maniples had tracked one of their foes to a region just north of where the battle between the Asuryani and Company Vengeance was being fought on the Alacian Plains.En route the Phantom Titan had also been joined by three Mymearan Revenant Titans. The second Phantom Titan, damaged earlier by the demi-maniple, had been observed by the Inquisitor Lord's servitors entering the coastal region of the Mymearan Webway portal to the west, and was believed to have either journeyed back through it to the craftworld or was now standing watch over the portal itself.Knowing that the presence of the remaining Aeldari Titans could tip the balance of battle against Company Vengeance, the princeps of the Invictus Nova had ordered his fellow Titan princeps to engage with the Aeldari war striders before they got any nearer.Facing an enemy half its number but significantly superior in terms of armament and speed, the Imperial Titans' princeps knew that the odds were against them as they stepped into battle once more.The Legio Gryphonicus Titans split again into their two original groups. The Demi-maniple Nova, now a Titan down after the destruction of the Warhound Titan Magnus Canis, first attacked the Aeldari Titans and then drew away eastwards into the heart of an ice storm.Their plan worked and the lead Aeldari steersman led his Titan host after them. In a series of skirmishes and assaults that ran over almost half of the length of the continent, the two groups of Titans fought.Moving through terrain much more in their favour than the rocky battlefield further west, the Imperial demi-maniple worked its way north-east via a two kilometre section of the highway that wound through and over the mountains.Meanwhile the Exaro maniple headed west and the north again across another part of the highway. As the Aeldari Titans followed Demi-maniple Nova out on to the ice fields beyond, the Exaro maniple charged in behind them to cut off their exit point.Over the next solar hour, the gods of war of both species fought a furious battle. With little shelter save for the vision-obscuring blizzard, the Imperium's princeps resorted to a pattern of feints and strikes to protect themselves from the Aeldari Titans' Distortion Cannons and Pulsars.First, Demi-maniple Nova would close within range of the Aeldari Titans and fire upon them. Then as soon as the Nova's shots were away, the Exaro maniple would attack, striding forwards to harry the Aeldari Titans, attempting to prevent them from returning fire upon the Nova and its Warhound escort.The battle was not without further casualties. The first was suffered by the Aeldari. One of the Revenant Titans was destroyed as it attempted to break away and circle back around onto the flanks of the Exaro maniple. Spotting its ruse, the maniple's princeps ordered three Reaver Titans and two Warhounds to fire upon its position.Their combined might overloaded the Revenant Titan's Holo-Fields and severed the power mechanisms within its leg casings. Unable to move, and with its lone crewman probably severely injured or dead already, the Aeldari Titan self-detonated, denying certain elements of the Imperium the rare opportunity to study such advanced xenos technology first-hand.The Legio Gryphonicus did not escape unscathed either, its Warhound Titans suffering the worst attentions of their foes. Two from the Exaro maniple received direct hits from the twin Pulse Lasers of the Revenants, one being critically damaged and forced to retreat from the battlefield.The Phantom Titan was to wreak the most devastation with its Distortion Cannon. At the height of the battle, it came close to destroying the Exaro itself when a shot from its arcane weapon glanced off the shields of the Battle Titan.Had the remaining Imperial Titans not come to its aid whilst the Titan and its crew recovered from the power surge that had temporarily crippled it, then it may have then been destroyed completely.Although most of the Imperium's Titans suffered from serious battle damage in the engagement, they were to emerge victorious. With the threat of the Mymearan Aeldari Titans removed from Betalis III, the Legio Gryphonicus joined for the final hours of the war with mobile elements of Bran Redmaw's Company that had been set down by Thunderhawk gunships to assist Company Vengeance.The small force of Space Wolves Land Raiders and other vehicles, plus the Legio Gryphonicus Titans, then outflanked part of Alaitoc's armada, blunting its fury and preventing it from fully engaging with Company Vengeance.
