TO: FELDMARSHAL MANSTEIN, IMPERIAL HIGH COMMAND
FROM: COLONEL KRIEGER, 37TH STURM JAGER REGIMENT

MY LORD HERE'S A TRANSCRIPT OF THE BATTLE WE HAD FOUGHT THE BLOOD CRAZED FLESHTEARER CHAPTER MARINES. THEY WERE CERTAIN THAT ONE OF THEIR BATTLE BROTHERS DIED FROM A SNIPER SHOT ORIGINATING FROM ONE OF THE REFUGEE CAMPS. EVEN THOUGH THE CULPRIT WAS CAUGHT AND HANDED OVER
TO THE THEIR CHAPTER COMMANDER, THEY STILL DEMANDED THE WHOLE REFUGEE CAMP TO BE "CLEANSED" WHICH ON YOUR ORDER HAVE BEEN REFUSED. HOPEFULLY THIS TRANSCRIPT WILL BE HELPFUL TO THE HOLY INQUISITION TO FURTHER THEIR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DIABOLICAL CHAPTER.

YOUR SERVANT
COLONEL KRIEGER

START OF TRANSCRIPT

An armored spearhead of the Fleshtearer Chapter Marines met the 37th Sturm Jagers regiment. The Imperial Guard forces was positioned to defend in depth and forcing the marines to wade through ferocious long range firepower. A landraider was destroyed after the whole company's heavy firepower were directed at it.

A Terminator squad climbed out of the destroyed landraider and proceeded to charge through a squad and slaughtered them before they had any chance. Eversor 716X and Mounted scouts charged to hold the Imperial line. A Razorback was disabled while trying to wade through our firepower. Rushing out of the APC, the tactical marines joined in the melee in the center of the battlefield.

Long range firepower from lascannon mounted Sentinels destroyed another Razorback and its occupants decided to hide behind a hill. Mortar fire from our Griffon was not as effective since Space marine power armor is more resilient than our flak jackets. Individual heavy weapons shots managed to bring down some of their assault troops thus decreasing the threat of a Fleashtearer counterattack.

Eversor 716X managed to kill off most the tactical marines but the lone terminator proved to be more durable than expected. His armor was pitted with the many gouges made by Eversor 716X but he stayed with his glowing thunder hammer wrecking havoc among the mounted scouts.

Our troops managed to secure coordinates 40.06.03 but our advance towards Fleshtearers' positions were slow due to vicious close combat in the center.

At 1036hrs, Eversor 716X managed to bring down finally the foolhardy Fleshtearer Terminator. By that time assault troops from the Fleshtearer marines were decimated due to heavy firepower brought down by our heavy weapons units. Praise the Emperor we were well stocked with these weapons!

At 1121hrs, we are pleased to report that the Fleshtearer armored spearhead was withdrawn with their Chapter Commander apologizing for the "strong headedness" of its men. Although casualties were light from our men but still it exemplified the strange code of conduct of this Adeptus Astartes chapter.

I shudder to think the strange rituals they used with much mentioned rumor of them drinking the blood of their victims. May the Emperor protect us and deliver us from these misguided protectors of the Emperor.
