In space the Chigs immediately realised what had happened and brought every reserve fleet they had to oust the humans from Ixion.
With its defences reduced Ixion could not prevent the human invasion and they swiftly landed major ground forces and engaged the Chigs in a gruelling battle of attrition. The Chigs had based their plans on the calculation that the humans would never leave troops behind and were not positioned to stop the human withdrawal. The decision was made to abandon the troops left on Deimos and proceed to attack Ixion. Located only a few light years from the Chig homeworld the strategic significance of Ixion outweighed the sum total of every target designated by Operation Roundhammer. It was at this moment that military intelligence released critical information, spy probes had discovered that the ambushing fleet had been drawn from Ixion a major Chig military base. After a brief period the Chigs sprang their trap and the humans found themselves facing a foe they couldn't hope to defeat. When the humans arrived at their target they initially met no resistance and landed their first wave of troops. The Chigs set an ambush at the first target world drawing overwhelming forces into a secret position ready to strike. allies the Chigs knew of the operation before it even began. Yet the humans were unaware that through their A.I. In 2063 the human fleet was planning operation Roundhammer intending to change the course of the war with a series of lightning strikes against occupied worlds. (although I do have an interest in the hurricain bolter array for a rhino mod.The battle of Ixion occurred in 2063 between the Chig forces and the combined human fleet. Oh well, maybe GW will get around to it in 2050. Man, a plastic Arvus would get my wallet out in a hurry. Me I would be comfortable paying for a better model if I knew I would use it a lot. The ones above aren't bad, with a bit of 40k bits added you could have something that looks a lot cooler than the chibi. There was the chance to make an incredible mini but they failed. Mind for £15 more you could have an Arvus Lighter (much better than Chibi IMO) or for double the price of the Chibi there is the FW Aquila. And fitted with in the idea of the imperium sharing similar templates for construction (aka S.T.C).
And ARG!!!!!! I can't take it! The Chibi hawk SUCKS! Oh GW we know FW can make great boxy space ships, they do it all the time and hit it out of the park, why oh why couldn't you have made an Aquila Lander in plastic, why?īecause that would have been incredible.
