The Martyr's Gate has been recaptured, and the walls are holding. The knights of the Honorable House Nox have managed to grind down the Inquisitorial assault for now, giving my PDF troops time to establish fortified positions on the eastern fronts. The Heralds of the Chalice spoke true of reinforcements, with them coming from the Ba'al system no less. We're honored to host the Lord Regent, I only had wished our situation were never as dire to meet the man.
The Heralds and the Templars have lead an assault on the southern front. While the templars were repelled by the Cadian 153rd, however the Perlian 1st, that had previously lead the assault that captured Martyr's Gate, had been pushed back beyond their established staging ground. The Chief Librarians of the Heralds and the Blood Angels investigated the first ground we managed to regain, and made some worrying reports about the presence of the Arch Enemies on my world.
As for the rest of the fronts... The XIVth legion has repelled yet another assault by the Inquisition; despite our hopes that our misguided opponents would aid us a little wile longer in their distraction. The Sororitas contingent has also gotten some reinforcements from Ophelia IV, as the High Abbess was seen on the battlefields fighting against us. Though, despite the confirmed reports of the presence of a High Lord, unlike the several claims that several High Solars are besieging me themselves, Lady Vahl served as a high chance to gain an audience with the High Lords. Unfortunately, we weren't able to establish any contact.
By His golden light, old friend, I beg you expedite the timeframe for the meeting with the High Lords, my people's corpses are already massing in the millions.
If I see anyone else posting their dogshit custodes takes, I'm gonna lose my shit. Cooties ain't real, no one normal cares, women in the 10,000 doesn't change jack shit for the setting.
This is the same shit we went through with the non-binary Orks, but somehow even dumber.
I hope the lot of you stub your pinky-toes each morning.

Ash Specters are a minor warband that have recently joined under The Harrowmaster Solomon Akurra's banner. The Ash Specters are as unknown as an organization of their kind can be, they seemingly have no preference for combat doctrines, engagement zones, nor targets. They crop up seemingly at random, and leave chaos and confusion in their wake.
"I've spent too much time with our brothers of the Librarius, the Arch-Traitors talons have been echoing through my mind for centuries now. I fear my The Undying will come for me sooner rather than later to add me to his Accursed, yet I do not resent our venerable librarians for making me as such like some of my brothers. None of us chose any of our curses, yet the Librarians bear the brunt of them all without faltering once." - Lieutenant Lucien Tybael
"Our brothers in the Deathwatch seem to think they have a monopoly on knowledge about our xenos threats. But Throne forbid they investigate anything not dangerous to our enhanced geniology. A xenos virus or bacteria is often as deadly as any Drukharii poison to the Emperor’s flock." Apothecary Biologis Vaeon Ishtayan
Somehow, dispite my best efforts to get a tie breaker, the three teams are still tied for phase 1 of the crusade.
Quick summary:
Perlian 1st Strike Force beats the Cult of the Four-Armed Emperor, securing a outpost right outside the very gates of Bahara's Hive.
Tanith 1st and Only manages to drive out the Deathguard from the hab blocks they've secured last mission-week.
The Kisun'sha'ea Sept attacked the Heralds of the Chalice, but were repelled, only for the Decrepit Lord dynasty to attack the regrouping T'au shortly after.
The Northern sectors have remained active as ever, with the Perlian First beggining a large scale assault on the main hive structures. The assaut began in the early hours of the day with the full muster of the Perlian 1st. The assault in the end was repeled by the Heralds of the Chalice.
Following the retreat and regrouping of the Perlian forces, the Cult of the Four Armed Emperor sought out to deal a final killing blow to the crippled Militarum forces, they set up an ambush in the previously occupied hab blocks where the armies of the Plague God mass and plan their assaults.
The ambush was successfull in dealing another blow to the forces of the Plague God, but was unable to end the Perlians.
Local necromunda campaign is going great, started running Enforcers, but with a twist. They're just trauma team from the Cyberpunk universe.
They're real fun to play as a 3rd party to every fight. GM also allowed players to purchase "medical insurance" (i.e. bribe me with in game resources to not go after the main objective but ensure they don't get got by the other gangs).
