Siege of Volgenstraad

The Siege of Volgenstraad was an Imperial defensive campaign conducted by the Warmachines Space Marine Chapter to defend their Chapter homeworld and the surrounding system from the predations of the infamous Iron Tyrants Chaos Warband and their daemonic allies.

History
The Fortress world of Volgenstraad comes under the assault from the Iron Warriors Warband known as the Iron Tyrants. Laying siege to the World, the Traitors try to break through the Orbital defences to get to the planets surface and initiate a ground war for the Chapters Fortress Monastery. Though severely undermanned by the Marines of the Chapter, the Populace of Volgenstraad rise to show the traitors what a PDF force under the Warmachines can achieve. Disciplined and unflinching, the Planetary defence forces of Volgenstraad valiantly man the guns, fortresses and emplacements of the Orbital Dock, eager and willing to sell their lives to save their home. The Tyrants came for an assault against Space Marines, but instead fell against the weight of a planetary population, armed and discipline. The Tyrants unleashed hell and the Gearsmen responded in kind, a fierce battle erupting in the void for Volgenstraads skies.
