Konig 9th Heavy Tank Company
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Konig 9th Heavy Tank Company is a Heavy Tank Company of the Konig Armoured Regiments.[1a][1b]
Contents
Known Actions
- Colonia Campaign — The Konig 9th was attached as support to the second company of the Mortant 7th 'Headhunters' Regiment.[1a][1b]
- At one point in the campaign, the orks of Warlord Gharag Badtoof managed to breach the Imperial defensive lines on the Cambria River. Maximillian Weisemann, commanding the Baneblade Arethusa, saw an opportunity to deliver a decisive blow to the orks and advanced his tank alone into the alien horde. In the fighting afterwards, Arethusa was immobilised by the boggy ground and Weisemann and his crew were forced to evacuate before the tank was blown up by an ork fighta-bommer. Weisemann ordered the wounded crew to retreat back to the Imperial lines while he and the uninjured crew remained behind to hold off the orks. Although the retreating crew made it back safely, it took a further two months for the Mortant 7th to recapture the area and reach the remains of Arethusa. Weisemann and the remaining crew were gone and their bodies were never recovered.[1b]
Assets
By the time of the Colonia Campaign, the Company possessed three Lucius-pattern Baneblades.[1b]
