Yup, that's right. The Lamenters were annihilated, and the Scythes of the
Emperor were all but destroyed. That was from the fluff for Advanced Space
Crusade (a rockin' game), but I do not remember either chapter being
mentioned in the more recent fluff (the stuff with the battle for Ultramar,
Hive fleets Behemoth and Kraken, etc.)

Off topic, does anyone else recall ASC? Was Tyranid Attack (the redone
version) any good/comparable/better?
