The Battle of the Lion’s Gate was the moment when the walls of the Imperial Palace truly began to bleed. Beneath a sky choked with ash and fire, the traitor legions hurled themselves against the Eternity Wall Spaceport, where the Lion’s Gate stood as one of Terra’s final bastions of order and defiance. Titans strode through ruin, god-machines dueling at point-blank range as Astartes clashed amid shattered battlements and burning landing fields. Every meter of ground was bought with lives beyond counting, every advance answered by savage counter-assaults, as Loyalists fought not for victory, but for time. Broken, aflame, and contested the fate of Terra hangs suspended between hope and annihilation, awaiting the next blow of the Warmaster’s wrath.Date:Saturday January 24th, 2026 Time:Check-in 9:30 AM, Start 10:00 AM Location:Grognard Games Roselle Spots Available:20 Cost: $30Event Details:
