Gaunt's ghosts stuff. Book 3 necropolis. I am back to do more Vervunhive, it is the 5 star battle of all Ghost's engagements so far.

Well, this is no Ghost's fight, this is a unrecorded (because there isn't much people left alive to tell the tale) battle between the Zoican invaders and the outer hab Vervun Primary defenders who found themselves trapped between the Zoicans and the hive gate- Sondar Gate, which was sealed to keep the invader out.

The garrison captain, Olin Fencer was in for a fight. Most of his men died of starvation, madness and shell damage. 3 of his soldiers was killed by an enraged corporal who had gone mad, before killing himself too. And when the Zoicans came, it was very one sided.

Fencer died, taking a shot to the guts. He cried his mom's name, his papa's name, his grandmother's and grandfather's name, his ancestors' names and also his dog's name. He shot the Zoicans, killing dozens, with full auto fires and when he died, he was still pressing the trigger. Such courage!

^^" This is an illustration before they confess their sins in front of the Emperor. heheh

I kinda thought that their helmets had just one spike on the top.

I LOVE what you did with this scene, its got the flow to it like its one of the pitched moment of the battle where evreything goes to fething heck

just one question, What made you make the helments spike, kinda looks like a Chaos design dont you think?

P.S. Love what you did with the guy cowering in the right corner, adds drama to the pick that is well deserved.

I remember reading that fight in Necropolis (the only Abnett book I've read so far). I like how Mr Abnett introduces all these minor characters to have them either die or reappear later in the story. This battle between Fencer and the Zoicans was one of the best parts for me, and you've portrayed it brilliantly. Nice one :)
