Battle of Glazer's River var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};

The Battle of Glazer's River was a historical victory of the XXIV Praetorian Guard Regiment commanded by Captain Caine against a large Ork Waaagh led by Warboss Grishnak.

On a planet invaded by Orks, the 3rd Platoon of A-Company of XXIV Praetorian spent a night in the farm of Conrad Glazer, near Glazer's River. The 3rd platoon, without its Chimeras and with many wounded was forced to defend itself from a seemingly unending horde of Orks. A handful of civilians who worked for Glazer also took up arms to aid in the defence of the farm. The civilians involved were "Farmer Glazer", a Bounty Hunter named "Blikk" and a ratling sniper called "Hooky", who was the unexpected hero of the battle, shooting from his raised spot atop a tower, and felling a surprising amount of greenskins.

The battle and scenario appears to be based on the historical battle of Rorke's Drift in the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War.
