: Brother-Captain, we are receiving a transmission.
: Kruger... I sense your smugness, the self-righteousness of your kind. You have the Concordant, but you have nothing. Lacking, this you hold only a pretty thing. Powerless, as are you, Brother-Captain Krueger, in the face of my strength and that of my forces.
: Zymran, Chaos traitor, you shall fall before us and you shall feel my heel as you are ground
: Pathetic fool, the dust shall be yours, and I shall scatter it throughout space!
We have traced the transmission, Brother-Captain. It emanates from the fourth world in the system.
: Make way there without pause. Summon a Librarian to lead our troops. Zymran has faced us for the final time!
Squads 2, 7, and 8 are roused. I personally welcome a few new recruits.
Brother Slips: Walk softly... and carry a big gun.
the Second: Today, the enemy shall know fear.
: This day shall be a glorious one for the Imperium.
: For the glory of the Emprah!
And let all heretics burn.
The air grows rank as we approach the Word Bearer base from the south-west.
Defenders line the walls, and the southern gate is clamped against its frame.
Our target lays in the center of the foul-smelling temple. It shall be ours by the end of this day.
Thick shells slap the ground before we can get any closer. A gunner stands behind the parapet, his Heavy Bolter's gaze looming over us.
We must take him out before I risk sending any battle-brothers into the open. We concentrate our fire to achieve superior local force.
Sergeant Timoleon gets the kill shot on the heretic.
: Death comes for us all, but he comes for you early.
The sound of suppression fire now absent, as a few no-name Tactical Marines named Arminius and Seleucus edge onto the southern flank.
Also, Brother Draco.
While a few Devastators creep northwards. The plan is to soften the defenses so that the Emperor's Hellraisers can land without overwhelming opposition.
But before the next breath, a pack of warriors in blood-red armor storms out of the gate. Khorne Berzerkers!
And some kind of daemonic canine.
One Berzerker falls to the combined arms of Slips's missiles and Boris's heavy bolter.
Meanwhile, those without a clear shot at the Berzerkers instead return their attention to the defenders on the wall. Whichever group of enemies falls first, Assault Squad will land on their bodies and lead the charge.
I'm not too worried about the Berzerkers yet, for they are still too far away to do much damage.
The daemon-dog, however, barks at no one in particular about not being given attention. Then he charges into the center of my force.
Brother Storyfag is allergic to dogs.
While Brother Boris is allergic to Berzerkers.
Another falls.
Brother Arminius can almost see droplets of froth and spittle spilling from this Khornate's helmet, clambering towards him like a mad dog.
Boris puts down the rabid animal before it can bite
While besides him, Slips launches a missile that phones home.
And Spartacus lands some lucky long shots with his medium-ranged weapon.
They found their home in the last Berzerker, so the rest of Squad Corinth fans out in front of the enemy gate.
Meanwhile, Slips eyes the lone defender in the northwest corner.
Slips: We know our duty, and we will do it!
Sergeant Hellraiser decides enough time has been wasted. And while he is in the air,
Two horned, rust-clad blurs materialize. An arm shoots forward, finding hold on Brother Seleucus. Then they disappear, all three, as quickly as they arrived.
But we cannot think about this now... For we are the Emprah's Space Marines!
Brother Eklektyk slams onto the battlements next to Hellraiser and they finish one Traitor off.
Immediately Hellraiser makes another hop. He spotted a heavy gunner and on the others side of the base, and he must go down before that heavy bolter spits deadly fire everywhere.
Toastboy joins his sergeant to make sure the heavy bolter stays silent.
Brother Slaughter shoots over to the Word Bearer in the southeast, while behind the scenes (where the fuck did the picture I just copied over go?!?) in the center of the base, Brother Goku fights the last defender.
The whirring of chainswords harmonizes with the thrum of power axes as three duels occur simultaneously.
Eklektyk notices movement in the corner of his vision, his targeting reticule playing tag with his pupils.
A figure - climbing out from under the two corpses!
But his body and his powered armor are not so fast. So falls Brother eklektyk.
Meanwhile, two of the duels have concluded. Right as the din of battle faded, the icon standing for Eklektyk's lifesign beeped once then blinked out.
Sergeant Hellraiser strains to get a better look at the figures on the opposite wall, but he already knows the truth in his two hearts.
That knowledge releases a beast dwelling within him... The daemon inside every man.
The sergeant punctures his enemy, a rain of steel. The scene is too gruesome to show.
Toastboy dismembers the last foul Word Bearer while Goku castrates, and then decapitates him.
The relic isn't here.
Damn those heretics.
The rest of the Chaos forces have been ended, so we proceed to forage and resupply in the battlefield.
Let the spirits of Brother Eklektyk and Brother Seleucus be at rest, for vengeance will be at hand.
Now Janus needs to earn one to use assaultcannon in Termie suit.
What a leader...
