Shadow Hunt
The Shadow Hunt is the name given to a Dark Eldar raid in 626.M41.[1]
Overview
The Kabal of the Baleful Gaze and Wych Cult of the Wrath Unbound cripple the infrastructure of the industrial world of Durondas II using sustained haywire bombing. The Cult then lands great packs of hunting beasts, Khymerae and Clawed Fiends, the beasts loping through the darkened streets and tearing the planet’s defenders to shreds. Buried in darkness, weapons fried and transportation crippled by the haywire bombs, the terrified Imperial Guard and their civilian charges are forced to fall back time and again. The hunted survivors are finally herded together in the Grand Templum District of Durondas’ capital city. Here the Dark Eldar Beastmasters loose their feral pets en masse, beginning a horrifying massacre that takes several long and bloody days to conclude, and from which no human emerges alive.[1]
