***BACKGROUND OF THE ISLAND***
Van Kijeck Island is home to the former Spaceguard Turret Network (known to the locals as Stonehenge), a huge and immensely powerful magnetic cannon battery built during the early Dark Age of Technology shortly after the world was first colonised as an anti-orbital weapon to defend against impacts from the shattered former moon Odysseus and enemy forces. The complex was built into the caldera of the extinct island volcano, and each of its eight enormous multi-barreled railguns were capable of launching projectiles of over five thousand tonnes at speeds of up to Mach 28 and packing the power of entire Imperial naval broadsides into a single shot. Three massive square sea forts were constructed in the nearby, and have extremely powerful archaoweapons of their own. As the DAoT progressed the moon fragments were cleared and the cannons became severely obsolete and were mothballed, but kept maintained. After the abandonment of the world during the Age of Strife, the battery fell into disrepair and eighteen millennia have resulted in severe damage from coastal erosion (foundations for much of the site being rockfill), though the extremely resilient materials have preserved the guns themselves well and Gun 7 remains standing on a pillar made solely out of its huge foundations. Of course the Imperium doesn't know any of this. The Van Kijeck family still inhabits the mansion on the island, with many of the other inhabitants being shady ne'er-do-wells. Terrain on the artificial plain is akin to calcareous grassland, with the thin and alkaline soils thanks to the underlying concrete supporting largely grasses and bushes with the occasional small tree. A warp anomaly has triggered the phenomena, with countless formerly buried bodies rising to attack plus whatever else lurks in the spoopy gloom...

>Imperial Aeronautica got a bit roughed up, we managed to pull off a swift fighting retreat though
>Landed in Stemton with the remnants of my retinue, cleaned up the streets a little before calling in my resident null, Hank, to help me clear out what remained of them
>The etherial in the city was nowhere to be found, no surprise, likely they escaped the moment they realised our counter attack was in progress

>With Stemton mostly secured and an artillery outpost set up on terrace hill, the second battle for stonehenge is ready to commence
>I'm a bit surprised that the tau managed to retake it honestly, but I suppose you can kill anything with enough plasma
>Won't really matter too much in the end though since I'll be deploying a sizable portion of my retinue along with battalions worth of asorted imperial guard elements
>Managed to requesition 3 tank squadrons to join in on the assault, I sent a request for some of the space marines to help us out but whether they're coming or not is entirely up to them
>Hopefully Inquisitor Edric won't bring any Sisters of Battle along, for some reason they don't tend to like me

>My mentor had it in his armory and he refused to tell me where he got it, so I just kept it after he died

>>69263653
Uh... dude? Every gun on Stonehenge is still offline due to the platform being at 2% power, one of the guns firing would be impossible at the moment even if it was somehow influenced by warp magic.

>>69264231
The tau hold the gun and have a (relatively) superior technology compared to the Imperium it wouldn't be a surprise if they manage to redirect the power to do a low power test shot

>>69264458
Yeah sure but assuming that they've held Stonehenge for, what, 6 months? They couldn't have gotten the gun to the amount of power required to let a single one of the mass drivers fire. If after 3 months of having occupied the platform only 3 of the guns are at 5%, and the platform as a whole is at 2%, the 3 guns might be at, what, 9% power? Even if they did manage to reroute power (which is highly unlikely since this is dark age Tech which is considerably more advanced than Tau stuff) they'd still be at, what, 34%?

If the platform is working on standard operating procedure and every 3 months guns 1-3 gain 3% extra power as the platform is being charged, that'd mean the platform is increasing the power the guns are at by 9% continually. But that's not accounting for the presumable slaughter of personnel responsible for maintaining the platform by Daemons and Storm troopers, which would decrease the total power output by a fair amount. So the final amount of power for the rerouted gun 1# would be >34%.

Basically: It's not happening. I know rule of cool is applicable, but the gun test hit a single Thunderbolt, I'm not even sure it'd apply to this situation.
