Kostoval Flats
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Kostoval Flats are a desert region on the planet Kalidar IV, prone to large dust storms.[1b]
The flats are rich in a mineral called lorelei. At least one mining complex existed on the flats, known as Urta, in order to extract the mineral.[1a]
In 397.M41, a battle was fought on the Flats by Astra Militarum forces against the Orks of Waaagh! Gratzdakka as part of the Kalidar War. The Imperial Guard forces were ambushed by the Greenskins and, despite the presence of Super Heavy Tanks, they were forced to retreat by the sudden appearance of Ork walkers, including a Gargant piloted by the Weirdboy Greeneye.[1b][1c][1d]
Imperial Guard Regiments present[1c]
- Atraxian 18th
- 63rd Paragonian Mechanised
- 42nd Paragonian Armoured Regiment - almost entirely wiped out[1d]
- 7th Paragonian Super-heavy Tank Company
- 14th Savlar Light Infantry - survived relatively unscathed[1e]
