2/3-2020 – The Night Terrors

Morven the Terrible is a Pack Leader of the Reiver pack the Night Terrors and all are veterans of the Indomitus Crusade. Once they were reunited with the Space Wolves, they were sent to the Frostwolves and are currently engaged as a Kill Team on Vigilus.

The Night Terrors’ first mission on Vigilus was to retrieve sensitive information from an immobilised Razorback, that had been damaged during the Genestealer Cult uprising.

The Night Terrors formed up in a group, planning to sprint to the Razorback. When they found themselves surrounded by Lictors and Tyranid Warriors, they fell back behind a ruin on one flank to focus on one flanking Lictor at a time. Unfortunately, the Tyranids proved too fast and charged the Space Wolves. A krak grenade from Nils Strongman, the Kill Team demolitions specialist, gave a nasty flesh wound to a Tyranid Warrior, as Vidar Beastslayer, the combat specialist, engaged the charging Lictor. He slayed the first one, but was struck down by the second. With flesh wound accumulating, the Night Terrors morale broke, and they retreated.

After resting and healing, the Night Terrors tried to approach the Razorback under cover of night. This time, a group of Genestealers accompanied the Lictors. This time, the Night Terrors were prepared and a hail of heavy bolt pistol and grenade fire greeted the Tyranids as they approached. Vidar and Morven struck down the lead Lictor, although Vidar was laid low by corrosive acid from the dying Lictor. The Genestealers low armour was turned against them, as the multiple attacks of the Space Wolves decimated the four-armed fiends in close combat. Although Morven and Vidar went out of action, the remaining Night Terrors cleared the last of the Tyranids and were free to search the Razorback for information. Taking the data, the Night Terrors picked up their wounded and faded into the night.
