However, the good times were not to last. In 583.M41, a new threat now known as the '''Talons of the Way''' descended upon the world. In hindsight, these forces have been identified as an early expedition from the Archenemy armies that would later be known as the [[Regency]]. In the sudden attack, they captured a Reaver titan, turning its guns on its one time allies and then, supported by numerous Hereteks and Fleet Assets, taking the entire world.

			Henlock is a war-torn planet where a Machine War between the Archenemy and forces of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] has raged for decades. It is currently in [[Regency]] hands.

	Before the beleaguered forces on the ground could capitalise on their reinforcements however, the Talons played their hand. In a display of cunning and subterfuge, the Talons ambushed the reinforcements as they entered high orbit, targeting the vulnerable troop transports, while avoiding the guns of the battleships, who could not fire for fear of hitting their own ships. It was a massacre from which very few ships escaped, tens of thousands perishing in the space of a few hours, the most devastating being the death of the Warmaster himself. In the light of the destruction, all remaining Imperial forces were withdrawn from the world returning home badly bloodied and shamed by the defeat, as the [[Talons of the Way]] consolidated their gain.

			Throughout [[Sector_Report_IX\|595.M41]], [[Regency]] forces attacked supply lines supporting the Imperial and Mechanicus presence at Henlock. They exploited this in mid 595, with a coordinated assault on the planet. The Strategio-Cogitator used by Magos Secutor-Navpati Amytis-yazdah of [[Naximus]] calculated total campaign failure as approaching near-certain probability. To the horror of its rivals from [[Ferraeus]] and [[Castellum]] - as well as the Knights of [[Anaximund Alpha]] - the Naximan Armies changed from conquest to salvage tactics, sacrificing several Skitarii Legions to allow for Ordinatus-scale Salvage-rigs to recover wreckage from the battlefield. The Magi of Naximus Prime literally crack open the planet's surface in order to allow their Ordinatus to drag huge sections of buried machinery of unknown origin from beneath Henlock, and then began a rapid withdrawal.

			Castellum and Ferraeus Forge forces attempted to cover the gaps in their battle lines left by Naximus, but it became clear that the Magi of the Ouroboros Omnissiah had gone to great pains to cover the extent of massive subterranean excavations from their partner-Forges - as atomic charges detonate and annihilate several of their allied forces. What little alliance there was between all three collapses, as Naximus’ fleet fled with its bounty.

			Only one group of Naximan ships refused the withdrawal order - those tasked with transporting the Knights of Anaximund. The Magi-Captains of several ships were literally held at gunpoint by the Knights and their Techno-Barbarian Household Troops. To their credit, the Knights of Anaximund were the last forces to withdraw from Henlock, covering the withdrawal of Crusade forces still deployed there, and recovering several of their fallen Knights.

			The retreating Mechanicus forces of Castellum and Ferraeus followed Naximus' lead, destroying what they could not salvage - both by demolition charges and orbital bombardment, right up until the Sovereign Order's Armies begin their translation into realspace.

			The planet is now firmly in Regency hands, along with whatever riches the Naximan efforts failed to loot or destroy.

	When the Prosperitas ~~sector~~ was reached by the crusade forces, it held out for almost a year before the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] broke through their defences with a force comprised of no less than four [[Titan]] Legions.

In the early days of the crusade, the forge world of [[Ferraeus]] was retaken, and in its massive cogitator banks, they found tales of Henlock, the Titan Graveyard.

	As the crusade continued, the world became of focal point for the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], the promise of the remains of the titans proving too much to ignore, and so it was war came to Henlock. The battles on and above the planet raged for months, with over a million [[Imperial Guard~~\|guardsmen~~]] losing their lives for a paltry gain. In a warzone that was already suffering from low numbers of fighting personnel, the [[Crusade High Command]] began to make plans to pull out from the world. And then came the God Machines.

	As the crusade moved on, the Adeptus Mechanicus looked over their prize. The world was all but barren, huge deserts stretching across most of it, while small patches of habitable ground were the sole centers of the sparse population. More importantly however were the silos where ruined titans from the time of the Horus Heresy were housed, while further out the wrecks of yet more of the machines littered the sands, speaking of hellish battles of times gone past. The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] believed they had struck gold, and sent out reclamation fleets, eagerly bringing the remains of the titans back to Ferraeus, while Legio Ferraeus stayed behind, patrolling the sands and searching for more wrecks. Huge mock battlefields sprang up in the parts that had been cleared of valuable relics, and soon Henlock became the training ground of the Legio.

			As of latest reports, the battle looks set to be a hard-fought one and is unlikely to reach a rapid conclusion; the Imperial line is holding and the Anaximund forces are fighting with particular ferocity, though some of the irregular forces supporting the Dark Mechanicus seem to be making a particular point of springing ambushes and atrocities on the Anaximunders. The situation is undeniably a major step up from the humiliating defeat inflicted on Imperial forces during the 2nd Battle of Henlock, but there is no guarantee of victory yet. With neither side on Henlock being able to count on receiving extensive offworld reinforcements, both forces seem to be trying to avoid getting caught up in a drawn-out war of attrition. Instead, they are undertaking complex manoeuvres planned out by strategic cogitators, in the hope that sooner or later one force or the other will make a fatal mistake. Until that opportunity for checkmate arises, Henlock is witnessing the biggest machine war the sector has ever seen.

=== About Henlock ===

Not much is known about Henlock before M.41, the records having either been lost or destroyed thousands of years ago. What is known is that before it’s rediscovery by the Imperium of Man in the Great Crusade, Henlock was a technologically advanced world ruled by a man known as ‘The Overseer’.

When the Prosperitas sector was reached by the crusade forces, it held out for almost a year before the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] broke through their defences with a force comprised of no less than four [[Titan]] Legions. And so Henlock became intertwined with the [[God Machines]]. Whatever part Henlock may or may not have played in the [[Horus Heresy]] is unknown, and the world was largely forgotten by the Imperium until the [[Prosperitas Crusade]] was launched. In the early days of the crusade, the forge world of [[Ferraeus]] was retaken, and in its massive cogitator banks, they found tales of Henlock, the Titan Graveyard.

As the crusade continued, the world became of focal point for the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], the promise of the remains of the titans proving too much to ignore, and so it was war came to Henlock. The battles on and above the planet raged for months, with over a million [[Imperial Guard|guardsmen]] losing their lives for a paltry gain. In a warzone that was already suffering from low numbers of fighting personnel, the [[Crusade High Command]] began to make plans to pull out from the world. And then came the God Machines. Ten titans, released from the foundries of Ferraeus descended upon the world, led by the noble Imperator titan Magnus Rex, and with them leading the charge, the Archenemies hold over the world was broken, and Henlock was finally brought back into the folds of the Imperium.

As the crusade moved on, the Adeptus Mechanicus looked over their prize. The world was all but barren, huge deserts stretching across most of it, while small patches of habitable ground were the sole centers of the sparse population.
