Description
The Death Strike formation was deployed in response to a T'au presence in the industrial zone of the northern city of Baal Prime. The intruders had built defensive installations and were advancing step by step into the urban fabric. The Imperium demanded a swift, decisive counterstrike.
The enemy was thinly spread, but well entrenched. The urban environment favoured positional warfare and made coordination a necessity. The Death Strike was to act as the spearhead: assault the stronghold, break the enemy lines and establish a bridgehead for the following troops.
