Is western plains are carpeted in ferrocrete and looming Imperial architecture, housing as they do the planet's Administratum offices alongside several sprawling sulphur refineries. To the ‘east, beyond the htump-backed range of voleanic crags known as the Hollow Hills, the landscape changes to rocky wilderness, fuming sulphutic bogs and gnarled, stunted acidoods. Castellan Stein's Cadians had prioritised the defence of the western side of Blstered Ile, seconding several large buildings and further shoring them up to create the stronghold desig the Alarican conflict, Blistered Isle had remained untouched by war ated Fortress 25, However, for the first weeks| All that changed when a ragged flotilla of serap-skiffs had wwashedl up on the island's northern shores bearing. last loyal ladz. Though they had no Boyz left to speak of Grakk’s old Skull-Nobe were the toughest ofthe tough, and hing horde of grotsto soak up enemy fire they were still a force to be reckoned with. They atacked the defenders of Blistered Isle with furious abandon, tearing srukk's with ase the refineries apart and driving the Cadians back behind the armoured walls of Fortress 26, Having fought their way aeross the island, the Skull-Nobz had finaly sectled upon Blistered Isle's jutting southern, headland. This towering promontory is overlooked by a slouch-shouldered voleano that the Orks named the Mouth of Gork, a sullen monster of blackened stone and gushing steam vents that rose from the ocean waves a {quarter mile offshore. The raw might of the volcano had 1e Nobz so much that they had chosen to baile the imaginatively named “Gofftown’ in its shadow. Behind triplelayered tanglewire fences, the headland housed Blistered Ise's generatorum complex, providing the Orks with plenty of ready-made shelter and allowing their Meks to construct a fully operational tellyporta pad. impressed Of course, Orks being Orks, the status quo didn't lst for long. With the humiesskulking behind their big metal walls, the Skull-Nobz started fighting amongst themselves to see who was going to be boss. After a sting of increasingly violent pit fights, gunfights and braws the Meks ~ fearing the Nobz would tear Goffion to bits ~ suggested a compromise. They would use the tllyporta pad to beam back tothe big humie mountain where Grukk go clobbered. There, the Nobz could dig for da boss tippy law and whoever got his grubby green hands on it first wold be the new Warboss. The Skull-Nobz jumped at this plan ~after all, Grukk had been the meanest Ork any of his followers had ever seen, and whoever took his Klaw as a trophy would surely inherit all that big, bad killing power Perhaps it was merely good fortune that saw the Skull-Nobz launch their fateful tellyport mission when they did, or perhaps it was the will of Gork himself, Whatever the truth the greenskins appeared on Sacred Mountain's slopes in the direct aftermath of Mogrok’s meteorite impact. Veiled by clouds of smoke, their appearance went unnoticed by the shell-shocked remnants of the two warring armies, allowin them to dig for their boss’ corpse in peace. However, they found rather more than they bargained for KROM DRAGONGAZE The greenskins of Gofftown stood waiting with bated breath as the tellyport flare died down around the returning Nobe, Their excitement turned to amazement however, as Warboss Grukk strode from the pad, searred and hollow-eyed but most definitely stil alive.

Had the Imperial forces taken the time to ensure Grukk’s demise they might have put paid to him once and for al, but the rar had swept wildly onward leaving no time for clearing up wreckage and bodies. Thus Grukk had lain undisturbed, his incredible alien physiology seeing him heal a litle more each day, Finally as the Nobe dug dosen through the wreckage that had ‘cocooned him, Grukk’s beady red eyes had snapped ‘open and his killing rage had come boiling to the fore Nov, dropping the Nob whose throat he'd ripped out land flexing the sparking, rusted talons of his power kl Grukk swept his furious glare around the greenskins of Gofftown. For a long moment, silence reigned as orkoid brains struggled to process this surprising development before the entire throng broke into wild roars of "Waaagh!

Rushing to bate with their blood singing and ther ‘voices raised in warriors boasts, Krom warband are so0n to discover tha to underestimate the greenskin menace isto charge headlong into the deadliest danger. PRIDE BEFORE A FALL ‘The rushing waves turned toa flickering collage of grey black and gold as Vengeful How! swept in over the coast ‘of Blistered Ise. The Cadian distress signal had become clearer as the Thunderhawk neared the island, Now, quite suddenly, it cut out amid a final snasl of screams and static, sett made no difference to Wolf Lord Krom. The Space Wolves’ attack vector was already locked in, red hazard lights strobing through the craft's interior asthe warriors ‘on board readied themselves for battle. Over their ebullient war cries came the voice of Iron Priest Alvard announcing thirty seconds to contact. Krom felt his tin hearts thudding with excitement as the ruined cityscape swept by ‘below hi. What followed would bea fight for the sagas! Engines bellowing, the Thundeshawk swooped low over the blackened carcass of a hab stack, and suddenly Fortress 26 came into view dead ahead. Dragongaze saw a broad, statue-lined plaza erasing with greenskins, and a tangle of interlinked buildings sheeting lasgun fire into the xenos horde, He had a fleeting glimpse of armoured orkoia walkers smashing their way through the fortress walls, and flames belching from its windows. Then the ruins below flared with pulsing green light, and the Thunderhawk lurched as though kicked by a sky-giant Krom was launched from his feet, slamming into the copilot's throne as warning hymns filled the cockpit and ‘Alvard fought with his controls. Vengrful Howl lurched ‘again, dropping so suddenly that Krom was thrown straight up, his head cracking against the ceiling with enouigh force to killa lesser man, Krom's vision drowned in darkness and starbursts, and consciousness was swept away. STRUCK FROM THE SKIES When Krom aioe, he did so to the sneaking suspicion that {ce wolls had used his skull for an anvil. A thudding pain pulsed behind his bionic eye, and the harsh tang of slphus And acid was thick in the back of his throat, Hauling himself to his feet, the Wolf Lord's face darkened as he took in his surroundings. Watery, late afternoon sun fell "upon him through the twisted branches of the acid-woods Sulphurous mist drifted between the trunks ofthe trees ~ the fumes rose from the marshy ground to wind sluggishly about the legs of his Wolf Guard, Grey Hunters and Blood Claws where they tood patching minor wounds or keeping watch. A long trail of devastation eut through the acid-bogs and close-packed woodland, a deep and blackened trench sizaling with acidic groundevater that led to the battered form of the Vengeful Howl _Shaking the ringing from his ears, Krom strode across the ‘equipmentstrewn cleaving, bellowing for an explanation This he received from the packleader of his Wolf Guaed, the stern-eyed Beoric Winterfang Standing firm in the face ofthe Fierce-eye's anger, the veteran warrior explained that they had been shot down by some kind of strange igrecnskin field artillery, The enemy guns had projected a powerful force field intended to snatch the Vengeful Howl from the skies and fling the craft bodily into Fortress 2 it was only through the skilful piloting of Alvard that the Space Wolves had escaped alive. As it was, a great section of the Thunderhawk’s hull had been torn Joose and its ‘machine spirit stunned into incomprehension. Fighting unresponsive controls, the Tron Priest had kept them in the air long enough to clear the fuming peaks of the Hollow Hills, but had finaly lost his batle with gravity a the ‘Thunderhawk ploughed nose-irst into the outskirts ofthe acid-woods, Even now, the venerable Iron Priest and his Servtors were working to restore their craft to function, but Vingiful Howl had seen better days. The work might take hours, even days to complete. Krom cursed bitterly at this news, for it was a delay he could ill afford. Krom knew thatthe wisest thing to do would be to attempt contact with the main body of Grimnar’s forces, bur the Wolf Lord's pride would not allow it Bad enough that he had abandoned his command in search of personal glory. If he now ealled for help from allies that might even now be fully embattled with the realfoe, Krom Dragongaze and his Great Company would be a laughing stock, The punishment for a failure of such. magnitude would surely be severe, and the damage to Krom's reputation irreparable. No, he thought, he would ‘not cry for help like some fool lost in a blizzard. Instead, he would fight his way to glory. He would claim Warlord ‘Grukk’s head in single combat, even if he had to march all the way across Blistered Isle to do $0. So resolved, Krom barked a string of orders, swiftly marshalling his men into two forees. The Wolf Lord himself ‘would depart at once, taking with him his loyal Wolf Guard and hot-headed Blood Claws. They would return to Fortress 26 on foot, performing a swift night march across the Hollow Hills to fll upon Grukk’s warband from the east Meanwhile, his Grey Hunters would remain at the erash site, charged with the duty of protecting Alvard while he ‘completed repairs to their Thunderhawk. As soon asthe ‘craft was operational, the two forces would unite once ‘more and put paid to Warlord Grukk once and forall. BLOOD IN THE MISTS In the wake of Wolf Lord Krom’s departure, his loyal Grey Hunters settled in to stand watch. Level-headed and ‘dutiful, the veteran Fenrisians walked the perimeter of| the crash site and Alvard laboured on deep in the craft's _guts as the daslight fled and a dense mist rolled in to take its place. Sucdenly,a flash of green energy lit the mists to the south and the pungent tang of Ork assaulted the Fenrisians’ nostrils. Reacting with practised calm, pack leader Hengist Ironaxe voxed his packmates, ordering them into a defensive spread around the flank of the ‘Thunderhawk where they could protect Alvard at his work Superhuman senses strained to penetrate the muffling muk of the mists as the Grey Hunters trained thei weapons out into the darkness When the atack came it did so with sudden fury. One ‘moment, ronaxe's men stood poised like mistssreathed statues. The next, the night wat alive with running, yelling shapes and the Grey Hunters’ guns were blazing in their fists. Lokri Coldeye, the squad's plasma gunner, was frst to open fire as his ears caught the sound of scurrying fect. The mist around him glowed like an azure gas lantern as bis plasma gun howled, sitting blasts of energy into the gloom. As they burst amongst the foe, the plasma rounds iMluminated shrieking Gretchin wielding rusted shivs and lumpy pistols, Lokri’s fre reduced several ofthe stunted greenskins to ash and sent their comrades fleeing in terror, yet there were dozens more of the diminutive greenskins closing in from al sides. ‘The Grey Hunters blazed avay, their weapons’ roar muffled by the cloying fog. Grots squeated and died in droves, their ruined corpses litering the boggy ground beneath the tees. Ironaxe’s warriors quickly adopted the best firing discipline for their numerous foe, unbroken streams of bolt, roundls giving their enemies no chance to respond. Frantic return fire whined in toward the Space Wolves, crude slugs sparking off theif armour and punching splinters from the trunks of tees to no great effect. Then, amid a second blazing flare of energy, Grukk Face-rippa and a handpicked mob of his biggest, meanest Skull-Nobz joined the fight From the moment the Warboss bestial roars echoed between the trees, Hengist Ironaxe knew his men were in wouble. The Nobz bulled forward through the Space Wolves fire, mass reactive bolts glancing from their crude ‘but effective body armour as they closed the gap. One ‘especially ugly brute charged head-down into the fay, Dbullhorned helm smashing a Fenrisian through 2 tree- trunk with a splintering crack. Grukk thundered into the Grey Hunters like a battering ram, eyes bulging and jaws agape as he vented weeks of built up rage on his luckless foes, The massive greenskin swung a titanic overarm blow hammering old Uller into the mud in a shower of blood and shattered bone. Hengist howled in rage and denial as the old warrior died, levelling his bolt pistol at Grukk’s head and squeezing his trigger. To his astonishment, one ‘of the Skull-Nobz lunged into the shots path in a moment ‘of brute selflessness. The whistling bole blew out the Ork’s skull in a spray of liquidised brains, but it was cold comfort to Tronaxe as his true target rampaged on unharmed. Hengist had not become a pack leader by squandering the lives of his men and, as more Nobr surged from the ‘darkness to join the melee, he realised the Grey Hunters ‘ould not win this engagement. Even nov, the hulking (rk Warboss was tearing his way in through the flank of Vingafl Hou, roaring his bloodlust as he took his power kiaw to the defiant Iron Priest Alvard, Barely half the Grey Hunters remained on their feet, meanwhile, and they were ro use to Lord Dragongaze as corpses. Snatling a curse that would curl a trol’s toes, Hengist ordered his surviving men to disengage. Swiftly and brutally, the Grey Hunters blasted and hacked their way to freedom, retreating west into the darkened woodland on the tail of their Wolf Lord. Bloodcurdling roars and agonised howls chased them like vengeful ghosts, Fading to muffled silence as the Space Wolves melted into the sulphurous gloom, forced 10 leave their fallen behind,mostly dead. However, amid thet MARCH ON FORTRESS 26 Davin’ cold light found Krom Dragongaze and his warband ‘emerging From a rocky ravine amid the feet of the Hollow s. They had pressed on through the night without rest, scaling rocky, steamventing slopes, picking their way between sizzling acid pools and leaping across black-mawed 7 chasms, It was a march that would have left most sole exhausted at best, if not maimed or killed by the hazards they had faced. To a Space Marine such things were but a minor inconvenience ~ as the Space Wolves made their way into the blackened ruins of the refinery sector, the remained hard-eyed and eager for battle. In this they would not be disappointed From the moment Krom’s Wolf Guard and Blood Clavss entered the urban spr battle. The Blood Clas led the way, nostrils flaring and cars straining as they stalked through the ruins with half 1 they held their weapons ready for an eye on every shadowed doorway. Krom could see how eager the young warriors were fora fight, each Blood Claw all but shaking with anticipation.

This spark of sorrov was swsifly fanned toa fiery need for vengeance as the Blood Claws reported swarms of the foe still eraling across the fortress’ gutted ruin. Crouched amid the tumbled bones of an Ecclesiarchal shrine, Redfis’s pack had picked out dozens of Gretchin mosing amid the ruins of Fortress 26, Directed in their labours by bulking Orkslavers, the scrawny greenskins were pulling the en ee of loo ire site apart piece ng the sweating gangs gatherers, Killa Kans using their snapping claws and buzzing saws to tear apart the Great heaps of loot were being piled onto wheeled carts and makeshift sleds at one edge of the plaza, ready to be dragged away by the Kans once the harvest was complete Furthermore it seemed that Grukk had left his damnable artillery - the very weapons that had shot down the Vengiful How to watch over the salvage operation. Redfist reported that the weird field guns were well dug in amid the ruins on the western edge of the plaza. Their grot crews appeared to be entirely off their guard, lounging around and yelling mocking encouragement to the tiling wworkegangs. Closing in through the rubble strewn streets with his Wolf Guard at his heels, Krom allowed himself x hungry, lupine grin. The greenskins obviously thought themselves safe regret their mistake He would make sure they didn't live t0 THE JAWS OF THE WOLF The totem-festooned Terminator armour worn by Krom’s Wolf Guard was incredibly potent. Ie provided his followers ‘with all the firepower and survivability of a mainline batle- tank, though atthe cost of a degree of speed ~ while the Wolf Guard were sill trudging thro Fortress 26, their Blood Claw ¢ igh the ruins toward mrades were forced to wait wer, champing atthe bit to be set loose upon the foe Krom was conscious, however, that they still did not know the exact numbers o disposition ofthe foe, and mindful ‘of the considerable threat posed by the xenos field guns = anything that could puta hole through a Thunderhawk would surely make short work of power armour Rather than risk his glory-bungry advance guard pitching themselves into battle prematurely, Dr. “ordered the Blood Claws to work their way around the foe's flank, They were to take up position overlooking the Ork ngaze instead, antllery, avoiding direct contact with the foe while they did +0. Only when Dragongaze and his Wolf Guard were poised, to strike were the Blood Claws to launch their assault, using krak grenades to put a swift end to the Field guns and blades to butcher the crews, The explosive demise of theCOrks' artillery would be Krom’ signal to attack, the two squads of Space Wolves closing like the jaws of a black maned wolf upon the throat of the foe By the time the Wolf Guard were in position, the sky had filled with heavy, ominous banks of clouds and a flac stillness had settled on the air. The daylight had taken on a bruised quality, lending everything a slightly surreal at while the breeze had faltered and fallen like the last breath fof a dying man, Black ash lay thick in drifts about the feet of the ruined buildings, and even the labouring greenskins seemed to detect a building frisson of expectation. Krom single vox pip to Egil Redfis, his signal answered almost immediately by a rising chorus of howls, The wwarery of the Blood Claws cut through the sill air over the clanging and banging ofthe industrious grots~all across the worksite, red eyes widened and ears flattened back in fear. Seconds later, a series of concussive booms echoed across the plaza, columns of fire and crackling green lightning shooting skywards as the Ork field guns went up ‘one after the other. Then the real killing began. Barging their way through a ruined wall, the Wolf Guard strode into the plaza from the east amid a seater of brieledust and shattered Ferrocrete. Withont so much as breaking stride, each Wolf Guard Terminator squeezed his ‘tigger, spraying fire into the grotinfested ruins before them, Immediate bediam ensued, Gretchin dashing in all directions and screaming at the tops of their lungs. Krom led his Wolf Guard from the front, weapons readied for the slaughter. These slinking servant-creatures were no true foc, yet still they were filthy xenos, light fingered looters, who had aided in the slaughter of good Cadian soldier. They would all die in this place, and be left to ro. As the Wolf Guards’ steady advance brought them to the very edge of Fortress 26, the enemy seemed to regain some semblance of order. Amongst the ruins, snaggletusked (Orks with long crackling prods were bellowing at their small charges, lashing about themselves to marshal the {gros into some kind of battlesine, The Ork walkers, meanwhile, had dropped their armloads of serap and were now advancing with purpose, shears snipping and ‘guns levelled to fire. Ranck, the Wolf Guard wielder of his Saquatl’s heavy flamer, tirned his weapon upon the nearest mob of grots. The flamer’ hiss turned toa billowing roar ‘a hung asitsps wall of flaming promethium into the enemy's midst, greenskins squealing piteously as their flesh catight light and ran like tallow. The other Wolf Guard kept up a drumming squall of firepower, storm bolter rounds punching apart scrawny grots and gnarled old slavers in explosive sprays of blood Lashed forward by their overseers, more mobs of Gretchin were now scurrying forward through the ruins. Their rusted guns banged and popped as they directed frantic olleysof fire at their hulking assailants, yet the bullets pattered off the Terminators’ armour like baistones. First one mob of grots then another was blown to bits and burned alive, saughtered wholesale as they attempted to make a break for freedom, Then a sudden volley of rokkits and shoota fire pounded the Wolf Guard, blowing Jurgen Tronjaw from his feet with a lucky it, and the Fenrisians turned to see armoured walkers bearing down on them.

Howling his fury, the Wolf Lord charged headlong at the swarm of hissing, clanking walkers with his axe held high, Ducking inside the clumsy swing wsling saw-arm, Krom aimed three sift, chopping blows at his first assailant’ hip. The Killa Kan’ leg sheared coffin a spray of oly fluids, but Krom was already turning, hacking the barrel from a smoking big shoota before slamming a krak grenade through the vision slit of another Kan, There was a muffled bang, a spray of blood, and the smoking machine keeled slowly over like a felled tree “The last walker began to back away, trying clumsily to turn ‘on the spot and flee this mac-eyed, howling warrior. Ie did not get fat. Hefting his axe, Krom hurled the blade end ‘overend through the air, embedding itin the boiler of the fleeing machine with deadly force. Whistling and venting great gouts of steam, the boiler sluiced gallons of searing ‘water into the Kan’s interior. Its pilot shrieked for several moments, the horrible sound reaching a crescendo before choking off into silence. Moments later, frothy, fatty soup. began to slop from the walker’s rusted seams, Wrenching his axe from the waterlogged wreck, Krom, glanced up, breathing hard with exertion as he took in the fight around him, His Wolf Guard were slaughtering the last of the grots, the Blood Claws now having charged into the fight from the west to cutoff the xenos’ escape. Final thought Krom, things were starting to goto plan. He might not have found his true quarry here, but a good chunk of the greenskin strength had been eradicated, One of his Blood Claws had fallen and a Terminator had been sorely injured, yet these were casualties he could absorb. Better yet, without their field guns the Orks would have no answer his repaired Thunderhawk when it arrived, Moments later, however, HengistIronaxe’s pack appeared, and the news they bore turned Krom's grin of victory into af scowl of disbeietTHE BATTLE OF GOFFTOWN eS ‘As the battle for Blistered Isle builds toward its inevitable conclusion the Space Wolves descend upon Gofftown with the fury of the storm itself.

However, his violent near-death experience had taught the Face-rippa a lesson about rushing into a fight, unprepared. Accordingly after his successful tellyport attack upon the Wolfboy’ crash site he hadin’t just gone charging off afer the res of the Space Marines. Instead, he and his surviving Skull: Noby had been whisked back to Gofftown in a blaze of green energy, covered in blood and gory trophies. There, Grukk had stomped about making as much racket as he could, geting the ladzall fred up and making sure his Meks built plenty more stompy walkers. He figured the Wolfboy2 would come and get it soon ance they reals nough shat he'd done to their mates, and he wanted his ad hoc tribe ready when they di. ‘Two days after the battle inthe acid-woods, as Grukk heard his grotlookouts begin to shriek, he knew his preparations hhad not been in vain.

Behind him, Grukk heard the Mouth of Gork rumbling like the go own war drums, eager for the fight to come.

His fury had been too for that. Indeed, upon learning of his Thunderhawk’ destruction, only physical restraint by wo of his Wolf } ‘Guard had prevented the Fierce-ee from tearing out Heengist Ironaxe’s throat. Instead, Dragongaze had turned his anger upon the Orks. Hauling the last living slaver from the wreckage of Fortress 26, Krom had begun shattering ies bones one ata time with his armoured fst. Finally, pointing with one shaking, broken finger, it had given up the location of the Ork stronghold. Satisfied, the Wolf Lord had torn the slaver’s head from it ders andl driven it ‘onto a spike of serap before ordering an immediate march, As the Fentisians had slogged through the ruins toward the southern headland, the clouds had continued to darken above them, Rolling in from the north, massive banks of black smoke and swirling vapour filled the skies. Ars of Diue-vhite lightning leapt and danced in their depths, charging the air until ghostly corposant crawled aeross armour and weapons alike. The Space Wolves muttered that itwas an omen, and that their fight for vengeance ‘would be fuelled by the wrath ofthe storm. Krom Dragongaze said nothing reflection of his own black and terrible fury. Soon both ‘would vent their full force upon the greenskin defenders of Gofftown, and then there would be 4 reckoning Twas two hours after dawn when Krom’s surviving Space Wolves came in sight of Gofftown, yer the sky had grown so dark that it might as well have been midnight. The battered, ramshackle buildings of the generatorum stood stark against the looming bulk of the offshore voleano, silhouetted by the mountain's rude fires. Here and there amid the tangles of loot and wire, mobs ‘could be seen stamping and waving erude weapons as they readied themselves for war. Over the crack and grow! of the clouds above, Krom and his followers could hear bellows savage figures of ‘Waaagh! rolling down the headland from the midst ‘of the foe. Finally breaking his long, brooding silence, the Fierce-eye turned to bello at his warriors. Ordering the attack and crying vengeance for his fallen packmates, Wolt Lord Krom Dragongaze threw back his head and loosed & hovel that was taken up by every man of his command, Above, thunder snarled and roared as though the storm wwas answering the Fenrisians’ wrath, and then, even as the first blazing bolt of lightning arced earthwards, the Space Wolves charged. WAR IN THE STORM The Fenrisians pelted up the steep, rubble strewn headland and their greenskin enemies surged forth to meet them. As the waves erashed against the rocks below and the stormbellowed madly above, the two forces slammed together ‘on the very outskirts of Goffiown. Herded before their larger cousins, Rustgob's Runts cowered and shrieked as the full fury ofthe lightning storm broke overhead. The small greenskins fired frantic volleys of shots, a lucky round punching through the eye of a charging Blood Claw Moments later, the young warrior’s packmates erashed headlong into the Gretchin with howls of rage. In moments the grots were reduced to tangle of bloodied bodies. Meanishile, Hengist ronaxe’s Grey Hunters traded heavy fire with Krumpa’s slab-sided Killa Kans a they emerged from between two generatorum stacks. Whistling rokkits and glowing plasma bolts scorched the air between the two squads. One grot walker shuddered with explosions as itcrashed over backwatd, Sven Threeclaw was reduced t0 glowing sludge from the waist down by a searing energy blast Viciously, desperately, the two forces fought on Iwas in the centre ofthe line that the hardest fighting ‘occurred. Here, beneath the looming, energy-wreathed shadow of the tellyporta array, Krom Dragongaze led his Wolf Guard Terminators against Grukk Face-rippa and his Skul-Nobz, Flames jetted out from both squads as the distance closed, licking over armour and flesh, Blinded, fone of the Nobe reeled straight into the thunderous punch, ‘of a power fist, oly for another horn-helmed greenskin to rip that same Wolf Guard's arm from its socket and hhead-but its owner to his knees. Here a rune-etched power blade sliced through green flesh. There a massive, whit toothed saw churned madly against Terminator armour until spraying sparks became gushing gore. Yet none could match Krom and Grukk for sheer ferocity Krom screamed naked bloodlust as he hutled himself at his despised foe, A bole of lightning seared down from the clouds, exploding within yards ofthe combat 2s Krom's axe struck sparks from the Face-rippa’s massive klaw. As his foe stepped back, Grukk roared, swinging an enormous hhaymaker that would have torn Krom in two had it connected. Instead, Grukk's saw churned through empty air as he overextended himself. Dragongaze, seizing his chance, howled in victory as he swung his axe up for the Killing blow, only for an orange ball of flesh and teeth to knock him spravling. Near apoplectic, the Fierce-eye shook Grukk’ssquig from his breastplate cursing atthe deep and bloody gashes its teeth had gouged. Asa shadow fell over him, Dragongaze rolled frantically, pure instinet carrying, him aside as Grukk’s massive klaw puramelled a crater in the rockerete. Grukk roared his frustration, the bellow turning to agony as the Wolf Lord’s axe hacked deep into the Ork’s ribs. A shocking gout of blood gushed forth, boat it was Krom's turn to yell in pain as Grukk’s forehead hammered into his own, cracking bone and spilling the dazed Wolf Lord to the floor once again. Grukk raised his law for one last blow, victory writ large on his leering face ‘Then suddenly the surviving Space Wolves were there nowling wildly as they drove the greenskins off. Grukk roared with frustration as one bole shell after another slammed into is armoured chest, punching him back into the midst of his fadz, Wolf Guard, Blood Claws and Grey Hlanters formed a thin cirele around theit fallen lord as the ‘Orks prepared to charge once more. And then, with a glare Tike a false dascn, a bolt of lightning spat from the sky and Ce) Teel eee ee ee eee eet es Seer slammed into the tellyporta array. The combatants looked fn in alarm as the Mek-built contraption began to spark and shudder, emitting an ominous rising whine. Grukk roared with anger as one of his Meks, eves wide with panic produced a glowy remote controller and hammered madly atts buttons, There was a sudden explosion of bright arlord lowered his arm and fgreen fire, and when the Ork Dlinked the glare from his eyes, the tellyporta ~ and all the Wolves who had stood in its shadow - were simply gone. UNFINISHED BUSINESS As the tellyport energy faded, the surviving Space Wolves looked at each with superstitious awe. They stood in a deep crater, surrounded by the wrecked remains of the xenos teleporter. Their wounded stirred and moaned in Confusion, Dragongaze amongst them. Beoric Winterfang flared up at skies suddenly filled with watery daylight, and his eyes widened as he realised his vox had filled with ‘oices. Imperial voices. Winterfang opened a channel and sent an open hail, chuckling a the surprised responses, It seemed that by pure good fortune, the misfiring alien device had delivered Krom Dragongaze and his surviving warriors from destruction and back into the war. OF course Beoric doubted how pleased the Feree-eye would be when he awoke to find his quarry lost, but sometimes the tide washes in and sometimes it sweeps away. Shrugging, the Wolf Guard gathered up his fallen lord, rallied the surviving Fenrisians, and made for friendly lines. Meanwhile, amid the blackened ruins of Goffiown, Grukk raged and smashed asthe storm swept away over the horizon, He'd los his enemies, his tellyporta, and his temper to boot. Yet Grukk’s rampage slowed as Bossnob Skrak’s yelling penetrated the fug of rage around his brain Face-rippa blinked as he realised there was one more way off this island and back into the war Itwas time t0 go up that great big humic flyin’ machine.Krom Dragongaze has a syised version of his Company Egil Redfist’s Blood Claws’ pack marking is a striking yellow ‘marking on his left shoulder pad.
