A mighty portal tore open splitting the borders between the warp and the mortal realm, from it a mighty figure marched out.......A great daemon prince his body a mangle of space marine armour and daemon flesh. Then 4 rancid plague marines marched out with a never ending swarm of plague carrying flies, a group of plague bearers came into view of the portal but the portal began to shake and collapse before they could reach the mortal realm.
“This planet is in Nurgle’s view and we will claim it for him” Yelled Termis raising his Manreaper and his troops replied with a gurgling roar. Suddenly an imperial guard vendetta flew overhead then changed course and headed towards the Death Guard but not to attack but to make sure that they seen enemy forces.
"Let me slay these dogs." Yelled Sam lifting his heavy bolter but Termis lifted his hand.
"Let them have their fun" Replied Termis as the pilot flew over head Termis waved to him then lifted his bolter. The pilots face lit with terror but Termis tricked him.
"Watch out for where that fool is heading." Ordered Termis a group of flies fuzz off to follow.

Sorry changed.

Right, once you post chaos dude we shall have us an event, also i would ask that you PM the others who expressed interes to post and play.

A mighty thunderstorm raged at the demon world Gistrec. Huge lightning bolts battered the desolate ground, scarring the surface of the planet and leaving huge craters. It was raining heavily, killing any plant life on the ground. Suddenly, a high pitched sound was heard and a ancient Thunderhawk could be seen plunging through the storm. Lightning bolts hit the mighty aircraft, but its adamantium armour plating shrugged it off. It targeted one of the huge craters on the ground and landed safely. The ships front hatch opened, revealing only deep darkness in it. But then eerie lights appeared, in shape of threatening eyes and loud thumbing noises erupted form the hull. From the shadows emerged Karrthus, the lord of the Dragon Lords and along with him his ancient honour guard. Karrthus stepped outside, rain battering on his ornate armour. He looked at the skies and whispered a praising to the Emperor for granting this beautiful day for slaughter. Then, a purple light in the distance catched his eye. It wasn't any natural occurance, but it could only mean one thing.
*A chaos portal* muttered Orakhul. *I didn't expect them to arrive this fast*
*Chaos does not wait, and so shouldn't we* Came a cracking and booming sound from Karrthus'es voice grill.
*Those are the ones we came to slay* replied Airmar, raising his hand size melta gun.
*Then let us move with haste!* came from the mouth of Damasku.
*In time.* Replied Karrthus, grabbing the hilt of his Relic blade, appropiately named as "the Dragons Fang". *But now we must move and set a base of operations. Understood?*
Everyone nodded in reply.
*Raise the banner high and follow me!* Shouted Karrthus, activating his jump pack which sended him flying through the sky.
His Honour Guard did the same without hesitation, the Ancient raising the venerated chapter banner which he was trusted to protect.
*We are going to war!" Shouted Karrthus.



Sorry for the bad text, but Im not really used to write this much in English

Pm send to some original Storm of Sorrow members

A storm was building, swirling about the world. "Ah, at last, the first of our contestants have arrived." Whispered a voice from the shadow. "I claim the legionary's of the death guard in the name of grandfather Nurgle" a diseased husk that seemed to be made of flies said, giggling. "Well, these servants of the corpse God seem to be willing to spill blood, i claim them for Khorne!" Roared a mighty bloodthirster, his wings spread and dripping blood. " The rest of us shall have to wait" Said a towering feathered lord of change.

"Sir! Sir!" Yelled a soldier, lugging a heavy auspex pack "We have picked up an imperial thunderhawk, and lieutenant Jeradin has reported that one of his vandettas has spotted several traitor astartes" Colonel Randis Vort nodded "Tell Jeradin to send a few squads to kill these traitors and attempt to contact the thunderhawk" The trooper saluted

All around the colonel men began fortifications, tanks dug in, men set up foxholes and trenches, Basalisks set up firing arc's and chimeras set up strong points and fallback positions. Hydras also set up to defend vital areas.

The flight of Vandettas flew over the blasted ground, the weather was very powerful, and a lightning bolt struck a Vandetta from the sky "Vandettas one, four, six and seven, RTB, i will handle the plauge Marines" the pilot of vandetta two ordered his comrade "Copy V-2 RTBing now" the four Vandettas flew off, one continuing. The plauge marines where spotted and heavy bolters roared, rounds exploding the ground around them. The vandetta circled, firing it's weapons . Several shots winging directly towards the enemy.

As the marines moved forwards, jumppacks roaring When a voice crackled over their vox "Servants of the imperuim, this is colonel Vort of the imperial inquisition, i invite you to meet with my forces at" the voice was cut out by static and warcry as a large unit of chaos cultists charged towards the marines, las pistols firing and blades flashing.

*For the Emperor!* Roared Karrthus, as he and his honour guard charged at the cultists. With bolt pistols blazing, many of the cultist fell, one pulverized by the devastating heat ray emitted from Airmars meltapistol. Las pistol shots could have found a spot in normal astartes armour, but Karrthus'es and his retinues armour were forged in the deep volcanoes of their chapter planet and were equipped with technology long lost to humanity. Some of the las shots hit the chapter banner, but the banner was made from alien material which could repair small damages applied to it. The cultists thought that their numbers could bring them an advantage, but were soon proved wrong as the space marines thundered deep into their lines, smashing their bodies even just with bulk of their armour. Karrthus fought like a man possessed, slashing traitors with his ancient blade. But even his retinue proved to more than match against his enemies. Blade strikes glanced off from their armour, as the honour guards blades hit home, claiming traitor lives with each strike.

*Behind you Ancient!* Shouted Damasku, as a traitor tried to fire his pistol into the neck of the standard bearer. The Ancient turned and brought his blade chrashing down the traitor, severing him in two. Before they knew it, the traitors were fleeing, caught by suprise of the space marines ferocity.

*This was no fight, this was a slaughter house* Said Serkhil as he reloaded his bolt pistol.

*But its not yet over, run them down* replied Karrthus. His retinue activated their jump packs, fllying through the air atop of the fleeing traitors. Many threw down their arms and begged for mercy. Their pleas were not heard.

Karrthus activated his vox, trying to catch the signal which he had heard before the fight. Through the crackle, words started appearing.*Hello? Is anybody in there? This is the Inquisiton speaking.*
*This Karrthus Namodrian, chapter master of the Dragon Lords. Were seeking any Imperial activity around here. Can you provide shelter and reinforcements?* Karrthus replied calmly.

'The inquisition.' Samuel Croan, chapter master of the Knights of Blood, said. 'How did they come here?'
The Tunderhawk roared. 'Lets meet our friends, shall we?'

Read the rules TNB

As Karrthus waited for a reply from the Inquisitor, he heard the sound of a plane. He looked up and saw an another Thunderhawk flying through the storm, but this one was dyed in red and silveric paint which gleemed in lightning. Recognicing the ship as one of those of the Knights of blood, Karrthus grinned a little.
*More traitors. This is gonna be a long day...*

"Open fire on those fools" Ordered Termis as he lifted his bolter and fired the plague filled rounds filled the sky's with thick clouds of spores and disease, Sam's heavy bolter roared like thunder in the heavy rain it lighting the ground with a bright green glow. But the Pathetic guardsmen inside knew there would be no hope of leaving this place alive but he battled on with courage rounds smashed into Termis's flesh and armour and thick puddles of slam dripped out.
"KILL HIM!" He yelled in pain. Lopa sergeant of these gruesome warrior delivered the end for the Vandetta firing his bolter and hit the wing perfect causing it to explode and fly off while the rest of the Vandetta crashed to the planet.
"Let us see if that fool survived" Said Lee, The Death guard match to the burning wreck and see the pilot has escaped with his life from the crash but his wounded.
"The fool has entered that cave for shelter and hope. Follow me and lets finish him!" Spoke Termis. They head into the gloomy cave and follow the blood trail, listening to the pilots pants of terror and being exhausted. The Death Guard walk around an corner and see the Guardsman trying too bandage his leg and head wound, he tried to reach for his las-pistol to end his life before the traitors could reach him but it was to late Termis gripped his throat.
"So guardsmen do you think it is wise to shoot at me?" Spoke Termis grinning behind his mask and hood.
"Y,,,,you took a round straight through the chest you should be dead!" Whimpered the terrified guard. The Nurgle Daemon prince began to laugh then suddenly stop and the deep green eyes glared into the pilots soul.
"I EMBRACED NURGLE!" Yelled Termis as he inserted his finger into his wound a then removed it......it was covered in slim and pus then shoved it into the guardsman's mouth. He began to shake and vomit flew from his mouth, he collapsed back crashing his head against a rock splitting his head open in this damned souls last seconds he glared into Termis's eyes and spoke.
"F....for th......god....empero....." Before he slipped into Nurgle's grasp.
"We will use these caves as our Dark temple!" Said Termis and his warriors agreed for hours they chant and worship Nurgle as they are blessed with his gifts from acid pools to swarms of nurglings now Termis would wait for a time to strike while he was defended by his master.

*Chapter Master! I heard gun shots, possibly from a heavy bolter, from that direction!* said Serkhil to Karrthus, who was still waiting for a response from the Inquisitor.

*We will hold this position, until the vox-static stops. We can't risk a frontal assault on a planet which we have no kind of ground information or possibility of reinforcements.* replied Karrthus.

The storm was growing more furious. Rain kept getting worse. Karrthus new that a drop-pod assault would be too risky. He could only wait....

"Alright you lot, listen up," Jack roars when he stands on top of a chimera.
"We don't know our current position, so untill further notice we should dig in and get ready for whatever they will throw at us." Climb down the tank again and start to worry about tiny details. Urge all of the soldiers to work as fast as they can, try to make an armoured hegde hog like formation.
Ask several soldiers of the command squad to help with building the company head quarters.
Try to camouflage the leman russes and Hydra's. The enemy doesn't have to know that we got them.

Colonel Vort smashed his voxcaster, his armored glove leaving a light dent. A techpreist ran forwards, mechandrites sprouting from his mouth writhing in annoyance. "What! you want to try and fix this thing!" Yelled the priest before he realized who he was talking to. "I suggest you watch your tongue Magos, i am the representative of the Inquisition here" He returned to the caster "Chapter master? Do you read me? I have triangulated your position and am sending a chimera, i shall be coming to meet you in a Valkyrie" He turned from the voxcaster "Did that get through?" He asked a nearby signal's officer "Yessir" Vort picked up his hellgun from the table.

"Sir! we have sighted a traitor astartes thunderhawk" Vort turned to the stormtrooper Sergeant addressing him "More? Send a pair of vandettas to shoot them down, and have your squad ready to defend the base" "Vandetta 2 down, manticore missiles armed, firing 1, firing 2, firing-Gak, 3's jammed" He heard one of his command squad saying

The missiles soared through the sky, not the dreaded deathstikes these, but normal missiles. As the two pieces of heavy ordinance flew, the top opened, revealing warheads ready to fly off on their own. They broke apart then, the smaller missiles flying down, destroying the remains of the crashed Vandetta and causing Termis's cave to rumble. What was worse was the horde of khornate cultists heading home, into the very cave Termis had claimed ,ready to kill any who had stepped there and been foolish enough to stay.

As they flew, the knights of blood chapter master heard a buzzing sound from outside his Thunderhawk. A vandetta to either side opened up with lascannon and heavy bolter. A flash of red took the right stabilizer and sent the thunderhawk plummeting, still airborne but not for long.

Vort stepped inside the valkyrie and watched as a squad of Cadians walked in behind him "Take us up pilot" He said into his vox bead. As they took off he saw a pair of chimeras drive out the main gate. One was filled with stormtroopers, the other was empty just in case the marines wanted a ride. They flew low over sand dunes and blood lakes, great bone spires grew in several areas. "Nearing destination sir" The pilot informed him. Vort put on his helmet and slung his gun over his back "Get ready boys" He said. He was always wary of astartes. He stepped out of the Valkyrie. He saw the massive armored form's of the marines and stepped towards them "I am Inquisitorial representative, colonel Randis Vort, who are you?" he said as his cadians spread out behind him, ready for anything.

Karrthus heard a loud crumbling noise a the top of the hill.

*Ready your weapons sons of the Emperor! Be ready to fire at my command!* shouted Karrthus, as the crumbling noises became louder.

Suddendly a large aircraft flew right past them and lights started to appear from the hill. Karrthus readied his bolter, incase the sudden visitors proved hostile. The lights started to take form, in guise of two imperial chimeras. They drove about 20 meters away from Karrthus and his retinue, opening their hatches and revealing dozens of Imperial guardsmen who formed a firing line at the space marines. A dark figure stood out from them, wearing much more sophisticated armour.

*I am the Inquisitorial representive, colonel Randis Vort, who are you?" asked the figure.

*I am Karrthus Namodrian, chapter master of the Dragon lords. I spoke with you earlier today. Have you come to show us the way to your base of operations?* replied Karrthus, his booming voice clearly invoking fear in the hearts of the guardsmen.

*Yes I have. Now lower your weapons so that we can get moving.* replied the Inquisitor calmly, at the same time nodding to the guardsmen to lower their weapons.

*Of course.* said Karrthus, his honour guard obeying the order and standing up.

*Are you coming by foot or will you accept one of our chimeras, for now?*asked the Inquisitor, pointing at the empty chimera.

*Gladly.* replied Karrthus, who then moved at the rhino, his retinue following him.

Walking into a deadly home of the Death Guard the khornate split into two groups one went down a dark tunnel while the others went over to the large craters. Termis was alerted from his worship.
"Somtheing has entered our new home!" He spoke turning to Sam.
"Ha the imperial fols will feel the powers of chaos!" Sam boasted.
"These are not followers of false emperor......they worship Khorne." Said Termis his eyes turning from the diseased green to deadly red....Termis's anger for khorne come to play these fools will feel his anger. The khornate warrior were suddenly swarmed by nurglings their claws and teeth slash and chew through flesh warriors slowly die one by one their dieing screams echo through the cave but the khornate had the blood god one their side, they began to slash and stab at the nurglings killing them and causing the rest to flee.Celebrating in their victory they feel a mighty thud thinking they had earned the favour of khorne they ready for the arival of a bloodthirsther but instead are greeted by a mighty Death Guard Daemon Prince.
"You fools will die at my hands!" Yelled Teris lifting his mighty weapon and slash at the warriors killing them 3 at a time, the cultists outside hear the screams and rush in getting lost they rush into the area that Termis slaugthered their fellows. Blood,organs and weapons covered he walls and floors the other Khornate cultists though that this was a failed summoning, suddenly a body was dragged around a corner in shock the cultists followed and saw their fellow stuck to the wall with a large plague covered blade in panic the followers of the blood god huddled together and prayed to the blood god but was no use their fellow cultists rose from the dead and attack as they began to fall a tall, dark figure and mocked.
"The blood god has failed you my god protects me!" Termis yelled. Blood filled the cave and the dead began to feast and Termis left the cave and let out a mighty roar that echoed for miles then Termis entered his new temple.

I suggest the use of onscreen keyboard.

From the flaming wreckages from the tau ship, Kass'l threw aside a large metal pole on top of him. He got up and looked around for anyone... No-one. Kass'l moves to the back of the ship to examine the engines. One was snapped of and the over was split in half. Kass'l talked into the mouthpiece... Static. He walked over towards a way out and saw a massive storm brewing. Only one thing was on Kass'l's mind, Shelter...

As he walked the tau saw a small clear area in a forest of big black trees. The area was very defensible. As he looked kass'l heard a clanging behind him. He turned and watched his companions clamber out of the crashed Orca.

"Our base is close, My valk shall run support and you shall be inspected by a priest when we get home. You can never be too careful on these worlds." With that Randis Vort turned and walked back into his transport. When they where in the air he told his pilot to stay above the Two chimeras. But soon fate would seek to cause great pain to all in the convoy. As it sped on, a great chaos marine stepped out of hiding beside the road and opened up with his bolter. The chimeras slewed to the side, forming a makeshift wall. Stormtroopers rolled out and began opening up on the enemy as more and more chaos marines appeared. Vort landed his Valkyrie and moved out with his Cadians joining the Stormtrooper. The Valk took off to bring reinforcements. hopefully soon, as they where surrounded.

"My lord Termis" One of the plague marines snarled through his froth corrupted vox caster "We have discovered a nest of dark Eldar nearby, what are your orders?'

*An ambush? Lock and load marines!* Shouted Karrthus as the chimera doors began opening. A stray bullet hit Karrthus'es armor, scarring the chapter badge adorned to it.

*Leave non alive!* yelled Karrthus, as he sliced a traitor marine int ohalf with his blade. The foe wore many, but the presense of the holy chapter banner redoubled the Dragon Lords efforts. Karrthus opened fore with his combi-bolter, enfulging the area around him in hot bright flames. Those unlucky who were caught by the stream of the burning prometheum were cooked inside their armour, their screams echoing throughout the battlefield. Karrthus looked to the air, seeing that the storm had calmed. Karrthus contacted his battle barge.

*Chapter master speaking. We need an immediate support to this sector.* said Karrthus calmly to his vox.

*Were sending an Ancient in 20 seconds* the voice replied from the vox. The enemies numbers were beginning to take its toll. Several gurdsmen layed dead, and Orakhul was wounded by a boltgun shot to the chest. Soon the sky was scarred as an meteorite like object flew throigh the air. It landed right on top the traitor position, blasting open its hatches.

*Death to the enemies of the Imperium!* came a static but booming voice from the pod, as an venerated dreadnought stepped out. The traitor marines started concentrating their fire at it, but their bullets glanced off from its blessed hull. It grapped a nearby traitor marine, squeezing the life out from it and then firing its multi-melta. The devastating heat ray vaporized two traitors in thin air, leaving one screaming to the ground as his arm had melted.

Kass'ls men clambered out of the wreckage behind him. All of them were, somehow, in one piece. Ukos had been wounded by a piece of metal in his leg , but otherwise ,all good. The storm was getting worse, they had to move soon... They ran as fast as they could, Y'eldi carrying Ukos around one arm. Kass'l stopped, there was fighting nearby. Kass'l scanned the location, the only shelter within 9 miles was through that fight. They would have to go through it . The tau was higher than the sides who were fighting but to get to shelter they would have to slide down. Kass'l ordered his men to spread out along the ridge. Shas'shi was next to Y'eldi for if a grenade was thrown well it could be over for him. Suddenly the cliff started shaking, the tau looked at eachover , for a moment they were confused . When they saw a dreadnought on the ground they knew exactly what to aim for . Kass'l now ordered his men to get into positions were they had good sight at the dreadnought and of the battlefield. Everyone was ready , now all they had to do is wait for the right moment...

Cleaning his face from dirt, Samuel coughed. 'Damn Inquisition. Is the vox still working?', he shouted. No reply. Looking round him, he saw all the others dead. 'Great.'. He walked towards the vox, wich somehow still worked. He gave the coordinates of the position. 'Immediate support coming in. Prepare for inbound.'
