Duty's End

Duty's End is an Astartes Storm Shield, wielded by Brother-Sergeant Artor when he was posted on the world of Deepcut IX, guarding a mine colony, when Ork raiders attacked. Despite assurances of assistance from the hundred or so miners, their chief foreman convinced them to flee and hide deep in the tunnels.

The ten Space Marines were left to defend the mine head, unaided, against a horde of nearly a thousand Orks. The mine entrance was an excellent place to defend, but inevitably the Ork numbers overwhelmed the Imperial Fists. Artor was last to fall, countless slugga shells impacting on his great storm shield as he hacked down greenskin after greenskin.
