Its not always possible to do comic writeups for all the batreps.The written variety serve to give a bit more showcase to models or battles that don't have the complete aesthetic picture, but were fun games non-the-less.

***Servoskull message to Azreal from Sammael.*** *** Lord Azreal, we have discovered new information regarding the invasion of the planet Mylos. It seems that the Tyranids have used some form of mind control on the leader of the ork resistence on the planet, led by the warboss, Hedgowja. With the new threat of tyranid invasion, the already present ork resistence has become an even greater problem.

As recorded by Bellerophon, Junior Librarian of the Dark Angels, in conversation with Inquisitor Arraway "So tell me why belial and his group were sent to this planet in the first place, Arraway? From everything i've gathered so far there was no reason to go there." "Bellerophon, the inquisitorium doesn't typically respond to inquiries such as the one you've made, but I can be civil. The Dark Angel forces had been sent to investigate what was believed to be a rare psychic phenomenon in the Lascent system. The Inquisitorium outpost on Lascent II was reporting a large pyschic flux occurring in the system and had tracked it to Lascent III. When it was discovered to be the site of a chaos shrine Belial was brought into the fold, as was the Ravenwing of your forces, since they are rumored to but interested in pursuits of..."
