An Imperial 'Retribution' Class Battleship is intercepted by a Chaos Battleship and Battle Cruiser.
Despite overwhelming odds, the forces of Chaos failed to stop the Imperial Battleship from escaping and living to fight another day despite heavy losses amongst it's crew. Along with all such members of the Imperial Forces those losing their lives have the Imperial Thanks.
The Forces of Order will Prevail and the forces of Chaos be hurled back into the Pit from which they escaped!
The ships are from the Games Workshop Battlefleet Gothic range and consist of an Imperial Battleship, a Chaos Battleship and one of the four Chaos Cruisers I own.
the battle beams are overlays added using Corel's Paint Shop Pro.
