Chronis Skullcrusher
The Conquest of Mudstone Valley
The sound of revving chain-axes and bolters filled the once silent valley, blood-splattered corpses lay all around Chronis, but he was used to this from his countless battles across Ocularis Terribus, fighting the scum that still followed the corpse-Emperor and not the mighty Khorne.
"Blood Crusaders, charge!" Chronis snarled in fury as he revved up his golden blood-splattered chain axe. On that command a thousand gore hungry warriors emerged from the foothills and charged in to the fray like starved dogs chasing down a meal. The Imperial Guards' faces whitened at the sight of the oncoming wave of Chaos Warriors storming down the hill, one army of them was already too much... the future looked bleak for the imperials at least they wouldn't be taken prisoner by the red tide of death about to hit them. The was only one thing that could save them... the Space Marines, but transmissions had gone dead long before the battle.
Chronis stampeded into the crowd of guards hacking and slashing his way through till he reached exhaustion but he would not stop, for the lord of battle was watching this conquest of blood this was his chance for daemon hood the ultimate goal for any warrior of the Gods of chaos to join the ranks of the eternally damned, the Daemon Princes and Bloodletters, Bloodthirsters and Flesh hounds. Chronis' men were holding up well few casualties from lucky shots and friendly fire because of blood rages and blind anger. "Blood for the Blood-God!, Skulls for the Skull-Throne!" Shouted a berserker across the battle field. In an instant the shells of the heavy artillery of the Imperial Guard started to rain down upon the Khornate, killing many in the first barrage of explosions, with no cover to be seen the Chaos armies numbers would dwindle quickly Chronis had to destroy the artillery for any chance at daemon hood, he looked around the surrounding hills for any signs of tanks , he spotted them atop a cliff to the east . Chronis grabbed a missile launcher from one of the Imperial corpses and whispered "Khorne doesn't reward failure." and fired the missile in to the front armour of the Basilisk Tank, a huge explosion followed as the fuel tanks exploded on the artillery igniting the others in a giant inferno, the screams of the Guardsmen could be heard across the valley. Chronis discarded the missile launcher and laughed at the demise of his opponents, the last men could now be killed without the threat of artillery killing , he ran through the river that separated the two halves of the valley to reach the last man his aim to give him a quick death no pain for that was Slaanesh's domain, no prisoners, no survivors that was all Chronis cared about during battle, that and that he survived to kill, maim and burn another day.
Chronis walked up to the dying guardsman raised his chainaxe and slammed it in to the chest of the Imperial, blood and guts spilled out of the corpse and on to the breastplate of Chronis and he then took his axe and decapitated the body and hooked it on to his trophy chain. "Kill! Maim! Burn!" Chronis Roared in to the sky. The rest of the army then followed with load cheering and praises to Khorne, making blood sacrifices from the last men still alive.
Khorne was pleased this day his minions had succeeded in taking Mudstone valley the artefact could now be recovered...
