KV139's vs Warlord

Lux Annihilatus was the monarch of the Legio Hephaesto. It was a venerable Mars-Alpha-pattern Warlord Titan that had stridden the battlefields of the galaxy for over eighty centuries. It had spearheaded the liberation of the Tyrem Stars from the dark forces of heretics, and killed the mighty Traitor Warlord Burning Hammer; it had duelled with the spindly Wraith-Titans of the aeldari on Gavaro Secundus; it had smashed aside the battlesuits of the t’au on Jurillo, and shot their air support down in flames. However, in the aftermath of that engagement, Vass – or Annihilatus – had pressed forward too eagerly, into the teeth of the blueskins’ last-ditch defence as they’d been withdrawing. Three heavy rail cannon-armed battlesuits had barred the way, enough to leave even the mighty Warlord crippled. The battlesuits had been destroyed, of course, but Annihilatus had returned to Hephaesto to lick its wounds and be made whole again in the embrace of the world that had birthed it, millennia ago.
With it had come the lesser companions of its battle group: the venerable Reaver Telum Purgatio, old enough to have walked the stars with the Emperor’s Great Crusade, and the two Warhounds Castus and Pollaxus. Even though Purgatio had been the one to destroy the final t’au battlesuit that had so damaged Annihilatus, and had still been combat-ready in the aftermath of the campaign, there was no question of the three lesser Titans continuing to serve while their monarch was damaged.
