The imperium musters at Medusa V as the world in its death agony imparts a sense of urgency to all species as they race against time to accomplish their own agenda.
The spacemarine chapters are gathering, like the spear tip of the emperor's anger, the focal point of the imperium's energies. They ready themselves to cleanse the alien, purify the heretic and crush the traitors.
The unforgiven chapters have an even greater task. Vengeance shall be their watchword. An enemy from the past has reared its ugly head and the supreme grandmaster has sanctioned yet another gathering of the unforgiven.
They now prepare for the coming battle as the "Sword of Retribution"

Fortress Surprise Contest: Submit material to the Fortress site in relation to the campaign and win some superb but surprise prizes.
Submission Close 31st October 2006
During the course of the Medusa campaign many of the Unforgiven commanders will be creating new characters and armies, developing battle fleets and epic forces, writing their own fiction, finding new ways of modelling or painting and perhaps even writing up their battle reports. Any one of these activities could, with a little fore thought, be adapted for publicaion on the Fortress site as an article in one of its many major chambers.
We hope that the campaign will spur an avalanche of such submission to the fortress site. As these submission come in a number of milestones will be reached, given the current status of the Fortress. For example, one of the submission might be the fiftieth particular army submitted for display, or the tenth painting article, or it might be that you might submit a fantastic piece of battle field diorama. Examples of submissions are given below:
1. Submit an army for display in the Legions of the Unforgiven section. This may be a DW, RW, DABF, Fallen or EPIC force, a BFG fleet or your special character.
2. Submit a painting or modelling article to the Master of the Forge section. Simple or complex, it does not matter. It could include figures, vehicles, weapons or even dioramas and scenary.
3. Submit a piece of fiction to the Liber Audacia section or a piece of re-written history to the Historica Unforgiven section.
The selection of the specific winner swill be at the whim of the inner Circle and the keeper of the Fortress and no specific rules exist except for land mark events and great ideas. The prizes are superb and await the lucky winners, so keep the submissions coming!
