HORUS HERESY 3E 1750pt NARRATIVE EVENT
This event is for the tabletop game, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy 3rd Edition (This is NOT a Warhammer: 40,000 event.)
NARRATIVE INTRO (see below for event info)
“Battle for Nyrcon City”
The Loyalists land on Beta-Garmon II to take Nyrcon City from Traitor control.
Beta-Garmon II is the capital world of the Beta-Garmon Cluster, and home to massive fortress-cities. The greatest of these fortress-cities is Nyrcon, the command and control centre of the entire Cluster.
In 006.M31, the Alpha Legion launched a campaign of assassination and sabotage in the Beta-Garmon Star Cluster, allowing a combined force of traitor forces to conquer Beta-Garmon II, including Nyrcon. Most of the Beta-Garmon Star Cluster was subsequently occupied by Traitors or fell into infighting.
In 780010.M31 Rogal Dorn ordered a large counter-offensive in the Beta-Garmon Cluster. A sizable force of loyalist legions was sent to engage the traitor garrison at Nyrcon City on Beta-Garmon II.
Following a vicious bombardment of the city’s defenses, a clash of titans erupted at the city’s outer gates, leaving both sides crippled, but the destruction wrought by their monolithic forms was a well-timed distraction to the city’s defenders, granting the imperial forces the opening they needed to penetrate Nyrcon City's outer walls.
However, void battles between loyalist and traitor ships were still ongoing in the orbit, removing the orbital support Dorn’s forces had expected.
Seizing the opportunity, the city's traitor garrison launched a counter-attack.
The assault threatened to push the loyalists back thru the city’s breached walls and was only halted when the loyalists dug in and engaged their opponents in attritional warfare, amidst which is where we find ourselves today.

EVENT HOUSE RULES
We have a small selection of required House Rules, which must be used by all players in this event. We’ve also included a set of Optional House Rules which can be used only if all players in a game would like to. We highly recommend you give them a try, tho. In our opinion, they improve the game in subtle, yet very enjoyable ways.
