Carnos V Campaign

The Carnos V Campaign was a Chaos castigation campaign fought by the Mourning Wardens Space Marine Chapter against an unnamed Iron Warriors Chaos Warband upon the Imperial world of Carnos V. The fighting was brutal and bloody in the extreme, and even though the Chapter emerged victorious, the sacrifice they made in order to liberate Carnos V saw the death of nearly three whole companies worth of battle-brothers.

Background
This two years campaign saw the Mourning Wardens confront an Iron Warriors Warband which intended to make Carnos V, a mountainous inhabited world near Occiana, a fortified citadel to encroach on the rest of the nearby systems. Alvaro Suarez managed to crush those hopes in a violent series of siege battle on the world itself. The Wardens, as true Sons of Dorn, endured terrible losses of life, often refusing to concede hardly won ground. In the end, their stubborness prevailed, albeit at the cost of over 300 hundred Brothers and the life of their first High Protector.
