Isolated No Longer

Rumor of the war on the icy rogue planet of Isolation rode swiftly on the currents of WAAGH! energy throughout the sector. Ork warbands of all varieties heeded this conflict's siren call and Sizzlegrub's company was no different. Although the Big Mek had other designs throughout the region, he could not resist the gestalt will of the horde under his command. This was especially true of the Evil Sunz contingent which made up the bulk of his infantry support. Besides, why not dive into a good scrap and possibly loot some long-forgotten know-wots?

After planetfall, the Orks scoured the ruins of pre-fabricated buildings erected around an Imperial excavation site. It had seen a great deal of conflict already, but the Imperials had obviously not found what they'd been looking for. Sizzlegrub's mob came upon a group of heavily mechanized Adeptus Mechanicus rooting about in the burned-out buildings, searching for something. Whatever it was, Sizzlegrub was certain he wanted it.

The greenskin horde swarmed over the landscape while their spearhead of buggies exploding in gouts of flame and shrapnel. In the midst of the chaos, Weirdboyz channeled a path for their comrades through the warp and into the enemy's midst. First, a squad of Tankbustas made the journey and came out blasting their rokkits, destroying a huge walker. Although they were wiped out in return, Sizzlegrub kept the pressure on his foe by ordering wave after wave of Boyz and Gretchin into the fray. Whenever one charge was absorbed and destroyed, another took its place.

Gradually, the Orks wore down the Mechanicus excavation team, both by weight of bodies and the expert marksmanship of Sizzlegrub with his Kustom Shokk Attack Gun. The few individuals remaining to the enemy forces were forced to make a calculated retreat, thus leaving the excavation site to the Orks for a proper looting. Sizzlegrub immediately set the surviving Gretchin to work digging out the ancient archaeotek know-wots buried beneath the site.
