Just a Little Internal Conflict -- More Like 'Military Heartburn'

Inquisitor Covenanter Yossarius, Arch Lector of Piscina Extremis, High Auditor Probant of Outremer, late in the campaign to keep the world of Doric-ar1 in Imperial hands, has turned his zealous gaze inward, to a contingent of Guardsmen unwilling to fulfill their duties as laid out by the Emperor's most worth emissary. While none can deny their good intentions, the faction in question was found lacking in ability to carry out orders to the Inquisitor's satisfaction. Unfortunately, they could not see the greater good their sacrifice would have made to the cause of the planet, so some 'restructuring of the chain of command' was in order. What follows is that Re-Education.

 The forces of the Inquisition deploy forward, hoping to capitalize on several key manufactorum artifacts.

 The main force of the dissidents.

 The Marines would have first turn, moving forward under cover of smoke. Several key objectives would be claimed before the traitors could react, thus putting them on the reactionary for the remainder of the battle.

 Meanwhile, Ancient Iapetus arrives by drop pod, immobilizing a chimera. He would remain active long enough to destroy a second transport before exploding all over most of the unit of guardsmen who took it down.

 This wall of armor would prove to be tougher than a grox skull. Two or three Bullgryn bit the dust, but otherwise would not be even remotely threatened.

I mean, just look at all those tanks. Luckily I had no reason to go anywhere near them.

 Turn 2, Kill Team Tauss teleports in, wrecking a third transport.

 This Red Hunters squad proved to be pretty kick-ass. Grav guns are awesome when you're the one firing them.

 The Bullgryn prepare to finally get in close.

 Once the tanks destroy the Land Raider...

 Out comes a stabby little unit of assassins. They don't appreciate being bombarded with grenades, so will figure no longer in this story.

Once the main bridge was blocked and the smoke cleared, the tank commander quickly reassessed his options. With nearly all of his boots on the ground MIA, a cautious standstill was reached. Perhaps not all is lost, once the highest-level executions are meted out.
