Lammas Campaign

The Lammas Campaign occurred in 987.M41^[2a] on Lammas where Imperial forces fought against Eldars of the Biel-Tan Craftworld.^[1b] War raged for at least 15 years without any abating. Whilst Imperium have been committed large force to defend the planet, Eldar were dominated in the air, so small gains have been made by the Emperor's servants.^[1a]

The Imperium used in this conflict many Regiments, for example Valstadt 13th Armoured Regiment^[2b], while the main air might of the Eldar consisted of the Nightwing fighters squadrons.^[1a]

In one celebrated (but carefully concealed) engagement, a massed Eldar assault in the Campaign was halted by a lone Vindicator Assassin hiding in a ruined tower. The Eldar advance in the face of this tower was stalled again and again by a hail of deadly sniper fire which slew Exarchs, Warlocks, and Support Weapons crews in quick succession. Eventually, the Eldar called in their scouts to clear the tower^[4], but when they entered it they found it full of grenade traps ready to meet them.^[3]

One of the battlegrounds on the planet was the famous Karsundi City^[1b]
