This is the second book of three covering the Siege of Vraks. Links for all the books are:
Ten years into the bitter siege, Arkos of the Alpha Legion sent a psychic signal that called others in the Eye of Terror to join the plunder. The resulting fleet removed the Imperial Navy from around Vraks, severing supply lines for the loyalist planetside troops. Further, the Chaos ships then dropped reinforcements to the surface, including warbands of Chaos Space Marines, and Titans of the Legio Vulcanum.

user wants a long article for the keyword "zfx south of the border top". I need to figure out what "zfx" refers to. It could be a brand, a model, or something else. The phrase "south of the border top" suggests a ranking or list of top items south of the US border, possibly in Mexico or Latin America. To understand the keyword, I need to search for it. I'll search for "zfx south of the border top" and also search for "zfx" alone to see if it's a known term. search results for "zfx south of the border top" show a result about "Just got paid zz top" and a result about "ZFX: South of the Border Part 6 - Interrogations (Dvd)". This suggests that "ZFX" might be a series of BDSM films, and "South of the Border" could be a title in that series. The user's keyword might be related to a "top" in that series. The search for "zfx" alone shows various results, including a financial company, a zinc finger protein, a flying effects company, and a CAD/CAM company. To get a better understanding of "ZFX" in the context of "South of the Border", I need to investigate the BDSM film series further. I'll search for "ZFX South of the Border" and also search for "ZFX BDSM". search results confirm that "ZFX" is a series of BDSM films. The result "ZFX: South of the Border Part 6 - Interrogations (Dvd)" suggests that "South of the Border" is a multi-part series within the ZFX catalog.

I suspect the user might be referring to a specific "top" in the ZFX South of the Border series, perhaps a "top" as in a ranking or a top-rated film. I need to find more information about the ZFX series and the "South of the Border" series in particular. I'll search for "ZFX series" and "ZFX South of the Border Part 1". search results are not showing much about the ZFX "South of the Border" series beyond the DVD listing. It's possible that the series is obscure or that the keyword is not well-documented online. The user might be using "top" to mean "top part" or "top selection". I could interpret "top" as "best" or "top-rated". I could write an article about the best ZFX films or the top picks in the ZFX South of the Border series. However, this might be speculative. Alternatively, the user might be referring to a different "zfx". Maybe "zfx" is a misspelling of "ZZ Top", the band. The search result for "Just got paid zz top" might be relevant. "ZZ Top" is a band, and "South of the Border" could refer to their song "Heard It on the X" or other songs. "Top" could refer to "ZZ Top". So the keyword might be "ZZ Top south of the border top". This is plausible. I'll investigate this possibility.

The keyword "zfx" might be a misspelling of "ZZ Top". However, the user specifically wrote "zfx", which is a known term.

I'll also search for "ZFX South of the Border Part 4" and "ZFX South of the Border Part 5". search results for "ZFX South of the Border Part" only show Part 6. It's possible that the series has multiple parts, but only Part 6 is indexed. The user's keyword might be "zfx south of the border top" where "top" might mean "the best" or "top-rated". Given the lack of information, it might be that the keyword is for a specific product or a niche topic. I need to consider the possibility that "zfx" might be a misspelling or a different entity. I'll search for "zfx south of the border" without quotes. search results show that "zfx south of the border" primarily points to the BDSM film series. However, the user includes "top" in the keyword.

"The Apostles of Contagion sweep forward through the sickly green light of their chemical weapons attack"
It was another year before a relief Imperial fleet arrived to secure the system, successfully landing more men, supplies, and 22 Titans of the Legio Astorum. This allowed the breaching of the third defence line, and two further battle fronts were opened: aircraft duelling in the skies, and engineers mining underground. After a year of tunnelling operations, the curtain wall was finally breached using underground explosives, but fighting continued without abating.
"Shrouded in acidic smog, as well as destroying the enemy, Nurgle's forces were also poisoning Vraks' surface"

"With every death on Vraks our victory comes closer. There is no army in the galaxy that can stop the forces we began to invoke so many years ago. Soon they shall be unleashed at our bidding!"
— Deacon Mamon - declared Extremis Diabolus by the Conclave of Scarus 2059826.M41
After a full fourteen years of warfare without success, the Departmento Munitorum downgraded the importance of the campaign, limiting the available future reinforcements. A Space Marine strike force of Red Scorpions agreed to aid the effort, which was enough for the Imperial army to finally breach the curtain wall, leaving just the central fortress to conquer.
Then Lord Inquisitor Hector Rex of the Ordo Malleus arrived and indentured the Imperial Guard army due to portents that pointed to an imminent breach in the warp, leaving all the men in danger from a new enemy.
Renegade Chimera encountered during the fighting at the curtain wall breach.

This book's Servants of Slaughter version of the Renegades and Heretics army list covers the Khorne-worshipping sections of the Chaos forces.
Perhaps the most singular and most disturbing Chaos Dreadnoughts belong however to the Death Guard Legion. These monstrous creations are alive with organic corruption, their hulls blistered with oozing sores and weeping, filth encrusted wounds and other stigmata of the Plague God Nurgle. What living nightmare is experienced by the occupant of such a vile and horrific machine is best left unimagined.
Following the defeat of the 101st regiment's counter-attack, the 19th siege regiment became trapped by new Chaos forces advancing from the north. Surrounded and pinned against the Demos trench, the regiment became the focus of the Nurgle warbands, who initiated a diabolical plan to unleash Vraks' store of chemical weapons to quickly annihilate the 19th regiment and begin turning Vraks into a toxic landscape.
The Nurgle Chaos Space Marine warbands led the attack, advancing behind a heavy barrage of chemical weapons. They soon captured the first trenches and dug-outs. Behind them followed a wave of mortal worshippers of Nurgle to continue the attack. Over the course of four days and with heavy use of nightmarish weaponry, the Nurgle forces destroyed the 19th regiment.
Play this game across the width of a 6' x 4' table. The defender chooses a long table edge and his deployment zone is up to 24" from that table edge (half way). He may also place his trenches, obstacles and other defences in his deployment zone. The terrain is a no-man's land with the usual craters, scattered rocks and wrecked vehicles as cover.
The defender deploys first. The attacker's forces deploy second, up to 6" from his table edge. Due to the chemical bombardment, the attacker takes the first turn. This scenario uses random game length.
Use the following special rules: Random Game Length, Victory points, Reserves, Obstacles.
The Nurgle forces must capture the enemy trenches and destroy the Krieg defenders. Add up Victory points as normal, but the attacker gets a bonus for any squads (that are still over half strength) within 12" of the defender's table edge at the end of the game. Add the attacker's squads' Victory points value to his own total.
The battle to destroy the 19th siege regiment lasted for four days - you can re-fight this battle by adapting the forces slightly. In subsequent battles include more artillery units for the defenders as the Nurgle forces push deeper into the Krieg lines. The Nurgle forces can add more renegade militia forces as they reduce the Plague Marines' presence, but maintain a high number of weapons equipped with chemical ammunition. You could make this scenario the regiment's final stand by including the Regimental Command HQ with attached Commissars and a Quartermaster. Each time they attack, the Nurgle forces can use the Preliminary Chemical Bombardment special rule.
Imperial Armour 6 was published in July 2008, the same month as the 5th edition Warhammer 40,000 rules. But the forces listed above refer to earlier publications using 4th edition rules. Specifically, the 2007 Codex: Chaos Space Marines for the main attacking force (excluding the reserves), 2003's Imperial Armour 1 (a 3rd edition book) for the defending Leman Russ, and 2007's Imperial Armour 5 for all other units.
The forces are deliberately out of balance in terms of points values, in favour of Chaos:
And that doesn't take into account the imbalance in the special rules: the attacker's Preliminary Chemical Attack and additional opportunity to gain Victory points, and the asymmetrical terms of deployment. Note that using the Apostate Preacher profile in IA6 (Apostate Preacher of Khorne) rather than IA5, the plasma pistol costs 15 points rather than 10 points.
