Attack of Turus VIII

The Attack of Turus VIII was an Imperial campaign that almost ended in abject failure in the history of the Invictors of Mars Space Marine Chapter. A series of tragic circumstances almost ended the campaign to retake the world of Turus VIII before it even began. Fortunately, the Invictors were able to turn these series of unfortunate events around, and managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

History
The Attack of Turus VIII was almost a failure before it even began. While ready to land upon the battlefield the reactor of one strike cruiser detonated for an unknown reason taking down an entire division. This start to the campaign would make the chapter make even more mistakes while hurrying to not take any losses. The marines were easily ambushed by the enemy force getting trapped every 100 meters they walked. These events drastically lowered their numbers, but by luck the Chapter managed to gain a foothold on the battlefield and proceeded to terminate all life upon the planet by hand, executing everybody.
