Battle for Pythos 2

The Battle for Pythos 2 was an Imperial castigation campaign carried out by the Dragons Sanguine against a large warband of Iron Warriors. This vile Traitor Legion had taken control of the Overion System, and headquartered themselves upon the Imperial world of Pythos 2. The Dragons Sanguine immediately deployed to the beleaguered system to free the Imperial citizens from the Iron Warriors' grasp. Though the Dragons Sanguine launched a brilliant campaign against the vile Heretic Astartes, the Iron Warriors extensive mechanised armour gave them an advantage, costing the loyalist Chapter dearly during the brutal and bloody conflict. Though the Chater eventually emerged victorious, they had sustained extensive losses amongst their senior leadership, including the death of their Chapter Master.
