Acknowledging the need for his expertise, the recent strife has necessitated the waking of Bjorn the Fell-handed. In order to test the mettle of the Frostwolves, Bjorn led fellow Space Wolves from Ragnar Blackmane’s and Jorin Frostwolf‘s Great Companies in a much battle against the Cartonian Dragoons.
True to form, the Dragoons deployed in a high and fortified position in the city ruins on a training planet near the Vigilus system. A Rhino with Tactical Marines, a squad of Intercessors and a squad of Infiltrators deployed in a forward position. Using the cover of the buildings, the Blood Claws led by the Terminator Battle Leader and Bjorn advanced on the opposite flank, while the smaller Grey Hunter packs deployed covering two objectives and the Fenrisian wolves outflanked. The Long Fangs were delayed and arrived late.
The buildings covered the Space Wolves advance, until the Blood Claws could assault the Infiltrators. Bjorn damaged the Rhino and the Tactical Marines that disembarked. The Space Wolves Reivers known as Morven’s Night Terrors arrived, but chose to skulk around behind a building, rather than face the guns of the Centurions.
The Infiltrators made a tactical fall back, and left the Blood Claws exposed in the line of sight of the Centurions and Devastators. The Rites of Battle of the Captain combined with the firepower of these units made short work of the exposed Blood Claws. The Fenrisian wolves and Long Fangs arrived close to the Space Wolves deployment, as the Omni-scrambler of the Infiltrators made it difficult to approach. The Long Fangs shot out the Rhino and Bjorn finished the Tactical Marines.
Unable to cover the ground to the Centurions, the Space Wolves kept in cover and failed to hold enough of the objectives. The Dragoons won the training session by a slight margin.
