Lady Herrik is a Freeblade Knight, who aided in defending Abundantia during the Octarius War, in M42.[1]

History

The Agri World was part of the Sigma-Ulstari System, which had been repeatedly invaded by Orks and the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan. The Waaagh! of Speedboss Morbad Zagblasta was among the latest to do so and he led his hordes to invade Abundantia. During his attack, Lady Herrik defended Refinery Torqad-Upsilon, alongside the maniples of Sigma-Ulstari's Skitarii and the 3,981st Vorrdi Light Sappers Regiment. They were also able to prepare a significant defense, once they learned the Orks were looting the Refinery's outlying sub-stations. However when the attack finally came, it was an airborne armada that was led by the infamous Flyboy Manik Gorg. While many of the Orks' aircraft were shot down, there was simply too many for the defenders to overcome. Manik was among the Orks that swarmed the defenders and the Flyboy's style of warfare was to unload his weapons, before crashing into his foes with his Deffkopta. As the Orks swarmed the Imperial defenders, Manik targeted Lady Herrik to slam into, but only managed a glancing blow to one of the Freeblade Knight's knees. This was enough to unbalance her, though, and she also began to be attacked by other Ork aircraft. Because of this, Herrik was left unable to turn and attack the Flyboy, as Manik once again charged at her. This time, the Flyboy's Deffkopta fully connected with the Freeblade Knight and caused her to topple to the ground. Ork Blitza-Bommers then destroyed a huge skeletal gantry in the refinery, which collapsed on top of Lady Herrik. While she survived its impact, the fuming Freeblade Knight was left trapped beneath the gantry's wreckage.[1]
