Skarath Crusade
The Skarath Crusade was an Imperial Crusade in M36 on the fringe of the Eye of Terror. It was notable for being the first appearance of the Predator Annihilator tank.[1]
Overview
During the Crusade, a Space Wolves Great Company found itself surrounded by heretics and rebels, supported by force of several Traitor Legiones, including overwhelming numbers of tanks and Chaos Dreadnoughts. However, the Space Wolves, renowned for their ingenuity and refusal to be defeated, concocted a solution. The Great Company's Iron Priests prayed to their Primarch, Leman Russ, for guidance, and were granted a vision. Acting upon this guidance, they proceeded to replace the Autocannons on their Predator Destructors with the Lascannons normally carried by their Long Fangs. So modified, the Space Wolves' tanks were able to cut a swath through the enemy's armoured ranks and allowed the Great Company to escape the trap.[1]
