Kaine is a Captain of the Mordian 24th Regiment; he commands its Company's 3rd Platoon.[1]
History
The Mordian 24th is among the Iron Guard that are taking part in the Third War for Armageddon and were set to counter-attack against Ork forces on the Sulphur River. However, the 3rd Platoon was left behind, as their Chimeras were taken by the Company so it could be fully mobile for the counter-attack. Instead, the platoon was charged with guarding the regiment's supplies, within a ruined mine that was close to the Sulphur River's Asch Creek, until the 24th returned. Unfortunately disaster struck soon afterwards, when the Regiment was almost completely destroyed by an Ork ambush and its few survivors were unable to warn Kaine about their defeat. An Ork Warboss then led a horde against the unsuspecting Platoon, along with the Hive Militia, civilians and the Ratling Sniper Hookey, the 24th left behind as well. Though vastly outnumbered, the 3rd is unaware that the Orks only have a limited time to battle the Platoon, before the horde has to return to the Xenos' main camp.[1]
Trivia
- The Mordian 24th were created by the Games Workshop employee Jervis Johnson. They were featured in Citadel Journal 48.[1]
- The Last Stand at Asch Creek is a modified version of the Battle of Glazer's River scenario, which appeared in White Dwarf 222 (UK). Besides the change in Regiment and location, the Platoon is led by Kaine, instead of Caine. The names of the characters Hookey and Blikk, however, remain the same.[1]
