Oh if you have any suggestions for weapons just bring them up i`ll tell you if their allowed

great! I just noticed I haven't written down an appeanace for my character. I'm editing it now.

Another roleplay? With Tyranid* spelled wrong in the title? *Sigh* What has the roleplaying board come to?

what does it matter? I just want something to keep me busy

I`m sorry i spell it differently. Get over it and i didnt see one so unless your goin to join gtfo. I`m a nice person but i dont take crap like this. I joined in hope there were guys like you but i guess there are.

Let's all be nice to each other. Darko, you shouldn't always look down on other RP's (no offense meant) and Yeroc, 'gtfo'? Do stay polite.

Sorry...... But i`ve just recently left a forum because of trolls. I`m still a bit defensive. sorry.

Baah, doesn't matter. You'd better get the RP on the go. There's already 4 players here (including you). Chop Chop .

I am. I am. Gimme two seconds to get a few things done so i wont be interupted

yeroc500 wrote:Sorry...... But i`ve just recently left a forum because of trolls. I`m still a bit defensive. sorry.

I'm not a troll, I'll have you know. I dislike bad grammar as a principle, and I'm annoyed at the stupid number of roleplays currently out there. Assumptions don't get people anywhere in life

@Yeroc: *stopped bothering you*

@Darko: what does it matter? A broader assortiment in RP's is good.

I didnt say you were. But i`m not a grammar person. English is not my forte. Sorry for that. And i wanted something to do so i started this. I get you run big RP`s but dont pick on the small ones.

I'm not running any roleplays currently. All mine died awhile ago because of the stupid amount of other roleplays. How any can thrive, I'll never know.

In a way, I started this whole "roleplay explosion".

Edit: I'm just waiting for other roleplays to end so my mates 'n' I can continue a few other roleplays.

Alright here goes. (Start off a event that`ll lead you to the sewer system of the Hive Scarsus)

*Colonel-Commissar Vantrava shot the tyrinid in front of his injured Major. The tyrinid fell over dead from the bolt round to head. Major Tanto got up and ran behind Vantrava. Suddenly Vantrava was thrown from his feet by a explosion. He flew thirty feet and landed hard. He looked up and saw a genestealer stand over him salvinating. He rolled right as the thing attacked. He got up and shot the thing squarly through the chest ripping it in half. A second genestealer apeared followed by a three more. Vantrava thinking tactically looked at a gaping hole of a sewer system right next to him and darted for it. He dropped his remaining frag grenade and dived into the hole.*

I don't really care.

Big RP's?

Small RP's?

They're both good!




P.S. Normally

Alright you guys can start. I need a backstory for each character on how they got to the sewers.

I was finding a suitable base area on foot with a large scale force, when we were attacked by Tyranids in huge numbers. Basically all my forces were killed, but I and a few others escaped, and ran into the sewers.

(Or do you need it in actual RP form? Argh what the heck, I'll just do it.)

IC:

Kais was walking allong with his troops, a foul smell in the air. His squad was following him loyally, and for this he was proud of them. They all knew of his skills in battle, and for that they respected him. They all did.

Suddenly, Kais heard movement. He signalled for his Warriors to stop, and listened in closely. Tyranids.

"Battle positions! Get ready! Here they come!"

They emerged from over a hill in massive numbers, the sheer size of the force terrifying. Pulse rifle shots blazed across the battlefield, killing many Tyranids, but not proving effective against the force as a whole. Then the Tyranids smashed into the Tau ranks, killing many, blood splattering on the ground.
Kais saw his men dying, and knew he had to do something quickly. One Tyranid dived at him, and he took of its head with a clean shot.

"Time to move! We're the only ones left!" he yelled to the remainder of his squad."

They ran, only four of them, and escaped to the nearby sewers.

{Hmmm, Time for Imagination! }

IC:

Larkson ran after his squadmates. The 31st Riverine were an amhibious outfit. But somehow Tactica has seen fit to deploy them here. Larkson tightly gripped his lasgun. The tight confines of the sewers wer frightening. The idea there were Tyranids out here was more frightening. His platoon was clearing the sewers for the past two hours now. A hellish period. Shrieks of 'Nids in pain, or Nids busy killing brave guardsmen could be heard through the sewer system. The tight confines eassily carried sound.

"Left drainage. Flamer, up!" Sergeant Dukkas yelled.

A guardsman armed with flamer quickly cleared a drainage pipe of Rippers, shrieks of tiny animals could be heared.
Suddenly, the flame trooper convulsed and fell down, face first, into the foul water.

"Fire for effect!" Larkson could hear Liuetenant Charkos talking through the link. A pair of talloned Nids were clawing their way through three unfortunate Ousians.

Larkson suddenly found himself in the new front rank. he, Sergeant Dukkas and a trooper who's face he didn't recognise, let loose with their lasguns. A blazing salvo later, the two talloned fiends lay dead, the last of their shrieks dying away.

"press on." Lieutenant Charkos once urged though the link.

Dukkas, the stranger and Larkson were running ahead, towards the third checkpoint, confident the rest of their platoon was still behind them.

woops, noticed it too late.

Allright, 4th platoon (Larkson's platoon) got to the sewer because of orders to check out for infiltrating Tyranids.

Hope this worked.

Its fine. Anyways when Neon joins us i`ll give him a way to join up with us
Now on to business

*Vantrava woke up in a pile of goop. He looked behind him and noticed the sewer entrance had collapsed. He walked on through the sewers for several minutes before he heard a stacato of las fire. He ran towards the sound and saw a band of guard fighting off a group of tyrinids. He pulled out his heavy bolter and added his fire to the mix. Almost instantaniously the tyrinids were cleared out. Vantrava walked up to the band and said, "who`s in charge and what the hell are you doing in this crap hole." Then a cadre of Fire warriors ran into the room. Vantrava nearly shot them, but remembered his promise he made to a Tau commander a long time ago. The warriors almost shot, but Vantrava held up a Tau talisman stopping the leader of the group. Vantrava said, "hold your fire soldiers we`ll need as many friends as possible. Now tau explain yourself, and again who`s the leader of you guard."

The platoon was almost at third checkpoint After they reached it, they were to vox a status report. They shold vox for reinfoces too, this was dirty work. The sewers were infiltrated by Nids. up above, large swarms of Tyranids raged about, but the majority of the Nid Threat was far away, on aother continent. But it would just be weeks before the majority of the hive reached this one. For now, the 31st Riverine could deal with the Nids around here. But when the full scale swarm of the assault reached them...

Larkson could see the ladder to the port hole above. There they were to reach Command on the vox. They ran on, but Sergeant Dukkas steadied them. He ordered another flame trooper up. That right bend didn't look promissing. When the flame trooper reached the front, Dukkas shone his lamppack through the darkness. The flame trooper jumped at the sight of three genestealers, sneaking the way through the sewer.

Dukkas, stalwart as ever, let loose a rippling salvo of las beams, the blue lights stabbing at the aliens. Larkson, impressed by the sight, joined in with the salvo. The flame trooper gathered his nerves, and let loose a stabbing arc of promethium. The shrieks filled the tight confies again.

Dukkas checked the corners again, and pointed the two front squads, what was left of them, to the manhole.

_____________________

OOC: more to come later.

Alright you guys both respond. Scrazza you`ll play your highest rank for certain parts like this.

Nevermind ignore this message

next part:

IC:

Lieutenant Charkos recognised the man as a Commissar.

"I am. Lieutenant Charkos. Second platoon, CO. We were ordered to scout the sewers. we're going to that manhole there, we have to report that the sewers are infiltrated."

Lietenant Charkos twitched at the sound of lasfire and flame.

"I have two squads up front, Commissar. I hope you and your Xenos friends are willing to join us?"

To be honest, I might even join this one. But there's absolutely no background information for us to work from. An example of a decent opening post to an RPG (in my opinion):
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/304483.page

If you want any help, PM me.

count me out, if there's some kind of butt-hurt "i'm better than you" bs from some mac-using-tea-drinking gakker before the game even starts, then i want no part of it, GG rp idea on dkka.

Are you referring to me? If so, well excuse me for offering support and advice on GMing a roleplay, considering I have a lot of experience with that position myself.

Also, I don't use a mac or drink tea, for what it's worth.

Oh for Feth's sake, just be nice. I just 'solved' the problem between Darko and the DM, I don't want another one. It's an RP, enjoy it.

This isnt a tragedy. I dont want much backround. But you can join start a character sheet, and i can fit you in somewhere.

IC:

*"anytime Lieutanant but I wouldnt go back up there, its practically overrun i just came from there. How long you been down here son?" Vantrava shot a genestealer as it tryed to get up. He then shot each other dead tyrinid to ensure they were dead. The Tau had secluded themselves by the entrance they had came from.*

OOC:
and please get along i dont need a hate conversation thing goin on in my RP. OK. So be nice and anyways Neon you will be introduced soon. I have a plan for all the different ways this can go

"We're going on our third our down here. There are other Platoons of the 31st Riverine spèread around the sewers." Charkos said. "We should try and link up with them, after we sent a massage to command. Now, if you would just excuse me for a minute. "

Charkos walked away after smartly saluting the Commissar. He lefft and went to send their coordinates to Riverine Command, and the requested Status Report.


_____________________

Sorry guys, I'm tired, I'm off to sleep in a few minutes, so no more rp'ing for me today. cya tommorow .

OOC:
OK ttyl but first

IC:

*"Alright then, now Tau let me know your orders or at least your names?"

OOC:
Alright Neon i need you to make a story regarding how you get to this section of the sewers. Please make it epic considering your a blood angel with the red thirst.

In the darkness all that could be heard was the thuds and sloshes of heavy boots along the sewer floor. the blackened and scarred armor adorned only with a red "x" was almost invisible in the depths here.
it had been what seemed like days since Veshuma had chased the two frightened locals into the grate that drained its refuse into open air. And having no connection to his now "relieved" unit he was lost, untill the end of his days. Even with open sky, the thirst clouded his conciousness; thus disallowing him to concentrate on even the most miniscule of tasks.

As Veshuma came to a junction he heard a scuttle that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere all at once.
With a scream as horrifying as it was deafening in the cramped space he tore down one corridor towards what he thought would be his next fulfillment.
Veshuma let loose with a blast from his multimelta, having dropped his bolt pistol in the muck days before, it was his last line of satisfying the thirst.

as the blast reached down the dank tunnel the sizzling of small rodents and insects could be heard just under the mighty roar of his weapon.

As the dirge died down Veshuma could hear what seemed to be voices.... but not "the voices" but human voices. voices from mouths, not helms.
The jarring green lights of his eyes searched franticly, looking for the slightest thing resembling a way out, picked a direction, and bolted tirelessly through the darkness.



OOC: that good enough? lol

OOC:

Nicely done.

IC:

*Vantrava heard a melta weapon go off and was suddenly on the alert. He waited for what felt like hours, but only 40 minutes later and the slosh of a very heavy creature could be heard from down a side passage. The guard had hunkered down by the manhole and were currently asleep the tau had (after a long conversation) hunkered down with them. A single guard was on duty. he had dozed off and didnt here a thing. Suddenly a black figure barged into the junction. The guard woke with a start and fired a las round that pinged off the figures armor. The thing stopped and shouted, or at least it sounded like it, and held up its hands. I stopped the guard from firing another shot and asked a single question, "who are you space marine?"*

"We, er, I am Veshuma. The Consumer, herald of His divine will, cleanser of the wicked. Now lead me from this hole, alien."

his tone was contemptuous, having fought the Tau before.

"I also require sustinence. Hesitate not, lest my next meal be your flesh."

IC:

*"Calm yourself blood angel. The aliens are alllies. And we have plenty of food packs so help yourself. But be wary we need as much food as possible."*

IC:

Vantrava moved over to the guard unit while the blood angel stalked around the junction. Vantrava noticed that another guard member had gotten up and started to check the vox pack. Vantrava walked over and put his hand on the boys shoulder. The soldier was tall and lean, and he had a short brown mohawk. "whats your name boy?" Vantrava asked.*

OOC:

Scrazza this is you

Kyun got to his feet, carefully securing the vox headset.

"Trooper Larkson, Sir. 22nd platoon, 31st Riverine." Kyun answered.

"Are you the vox trooper, Larkson?" Commissar Vantrava asked.

"No, sir." Larkson answered. "Our vox operator was killed an hour before. I've been lugging this damn thing for at least an hour now."

He sighed.

"I don't even know how it works." Kyun whispered. "Hern, sarge wants you to vox the coordinates to HQ." Larson said, shortly before saluting the Commissar, and leaving, headed for his sergeant, Dukkas.

Shortly after Larkson left, Lieutenant Charkos headed for Vantrava. He stopped at a respectfull distance, and saluted.

"Colonel-Commissar, I would like to ask you wether you and your shaggy band of merry warriors would like to accompany me." Charkas twitched, and reached for the earplug.

"The status update and our location has been sent," he said. "But we have received reports that 5th company is having a few difficulties top side. They request our help. What do you advise, sir?"

{ ooc: Yeroc, it's your call. }

Can I join ? If so

P.s That brown colour is ment to be bronze !

Can I just ask, has anything happened with me yet?

If so, where, and should I reply to it?

Sorry but I'm kinda tired and its been a long day

Yeah, you are with Vantrava Yeroc, and 2nd platoon (me), and the blood angel. you can just RP what you like I think, I'm waiting for an answer from Yeroc, wether we're going topside..

Am I in it?

IC:

Kais was still awake, the bloody fight with the Tyranids still lingering in his mind. He had met up with some Imperial Guard, and one of them was in possession of a Tau talisman. He wondered how he come to be in possession of it. But he knew that he was a friend, no, an ally.
Suddenly he remembered that his forces were still mostprobably alive. He had only gone out in a small group, scouting ahead, while all the others were near thier ships. If he could get to them, they could discuss further plans.

He shouted to the imperial guardsmen,
" I have remembered something! My ships are still on the surface with a very large force of warriors and vehicles! If we get to them we can plan ahead!"

OOC: @Arken: I can't really answer that, that's Yeroc's call. BUT, I think you will be allowed. So I think it's safe to say, yes you are in.

Yaay!

BIC:

"We have more urgent orders, Tau." Lietenant Charkas shouted. We need to aid 5th company top side, they need help." I'm going to them, you could either follow me, or catch up with your xenos friends."

Larkson really whished Charkas would be a bit more nice to the Tau. They could really use their help at the moment.

Kais thought about this, and decided to help the Imperials for now. But as soon as he is finished with them, he will have to go back to his forces and inform them of what has happened.

But if that one kept being rude to him, he will just leave them for Tyranid meat.

Lieutenant Charkas was chewing his tobbaco. He waited for the Tau to answer, and spat some saliva on the ground.

"We will lend you our firepower, human." Kais answered. "But you should have some respect. We are both soldiers with a mutual interest."

'Finally, something smart.' Larkson thought.

Charkas spat out the last of his chewing tobaco, and raked his combat shotgun.

"Alright!" He yelled, before speaking through the vox link more calmly.

"Platoon, we're helping our kinsmen. At the double, through that port hole."

He wondered where Vantrava was, he had wandered off somewhere. He decided to vox a message to Vantrava.

"Commissar, we are leaving. I don't know where you are, but you seem to have found some good company, that Space Mareine friend of yours." He said. "May the emperor smile upon you, and on us. Charkos out."

Sergeant Dukkas urged his squad upwards. He stood at the foot of the ladder. Dukkas was in control of two squads now, after Sergeant Pouls got ripped appart. Well, what was left of those two squads. Fifteen men in all. Dukkas was now one of the highest ranking officers remaining in 2nd platoon.

Larkson swung his lasgun over his shoulder, and scaled the ladder, towards the top. He didn't know how to feel. He was glad to be out of this stinking sludge, but it remembered him of home.

Part 2:

Larkson had to shield his eyes from the sunlight. After some seconds of holding his hands infront of his eyes, he could make out others forming a perimiter around the man hole. He quickly took up position amongst the others, and waited for the rest. Duèkkas came out, as well as the others from his combined squad. It took a couple minutes t
for the 40 remaining men to clamre through one man hole.

Charkas came out last, followed by his command team. His adjudant, Micouph, lugged the one remaining vox set Larkson had been lgging around for an hour. There was trooper Mehrd, clenching a cumbersome Plasma gun. Finally, there was Yundry, the platoon's corpsman.

Charkas got a good vieuw of the area, and got his map out. After studying it, he ordered the platoon east, double time, in double file, towards the factory where 5th Company was holed up.



OOC: feel free to RP, kais

IC:

*"Oh shut your mouth LT. I swear to you i will execute you if you treat your allies like that again. Now first tau after we help the guard we`ll go and talk to your commanders" Vantrava walks over to the space marine and signals the manhole. The space marines understands and moves over there. Vantrava follows and signals for the rest of the force to follow.*

OOC: what rest of the force? The platoon's already topside.

Oops sorry i didnt realize you had posted something else. Scratch what i said......
gimme 2 minutes

You couds just come up with an interactment with the blood angel, and then come up after us. I'm off to sleep, so I'll see what you have come up with tomorrow.

IC:
*"Alright i got you i`ll be there a minute." Vantrava walked over to the blood angel who had followed him thinking he had gone unnoticed. "You are a big fella", said Vantrava, "but i could hear you. I`m trained to listen so next time just announce yourself. But we have to get topside with the rest of the force." Vantrava reached up and keyed his vox, "Lt. please wait i`ll be up with the marine and the tau in 5 minutes max. Vantrava walked towards the junction and motioned for the tau to move up. Kais moved over to the manhole and went up. Followed by the marine then Vantrava. Vantrava looked at the stunned guardsman as they saw the marine standing a head and a half over them. Vantrava moved over to the Lt. and said, "lets move." The Lt. bellowed the command to move and the unlikely band moved over to the general direction of 5th company.*

OOC:
Vul'tan I'm going to add you in as a sergeant ok. You`ll be leading a team of three scouts that you recovered from your last battle. ok. Just give a little background on how you got to there.

Arken Vul'taan and his scout retiune's Drop Pod crashed down on to the surface of the planet about 3 miles from the Guardsmen. Him and the scouts made there way to the guardsmen.
@ Yeroc: Thats fine.
I going off to bed can you get me to meet the guard and present my self. Thanks!

At the promise of a fight the marine dropped his food and returned his beaten helmet to his head. And whilst snatching up his weapon he let out a horrid cream entailing, "FEED ME!"

Before the roar's echoes had ceased he was already heading towards the opening to the city, his jump pack engines letting out a strong purr in anticipation.

IC: Vul'tan

*The drop pod shook suddenly as Vul'tan dropped from the sky. Vul'tan after checking his teams vitals, (for the 10th time), checked the count down timer. It read 10 seconds. Vul'tan yelled, "prepare for impact!" There was a huge thud and a big splat as they hit the ground. Vul'tan alreadyhad his harness undone and was hitting the valve release. The doors opened wide. Vul'tan got his first veiw of the planet. It was a dry grassland with bodies littering the ground for miles. The city loomed behind him. It was relatively small for a hive but i was one none the less. Vul`tan stepped out and drew his sword and combat shield. His his three scouts came out each one holding a sniper. "alright form up on me and follow my lead", Vul'tan said. He saw a column of guard marching towards the city and decided to head there.*

OOC:

Now Vul'tan i need you to do this not me. ok

When I asked you I was going to bed that is why. Normally I would do that part!

The trip - part 1

Larkson could see the aggitated look on Charkos' face. They had lost a couple of minutes because of this delay. Ousians were dying out there. Charkos was a very patriotic man, he couldn't cope with the idea of his countrymen dying without him just a few miles from him. Larkson shared this train of thought. The ousians were a patriotic lot. Brave as hell, and tough as gator-skin boots, the Ousians were Guard, through and through.

"I'm glad you could join us Commissar." Charkos sneered. "But, we have all day." he added sarcastically.

The area around the man hole was devasted. They had emerged onto a street. Luckily there was no sign of Nids. The artillery had been fairly precise.

"Larks!" Sergeant Dukkas shouted. "I lost my adjudant down there, you're the new one." he said, not caring wheter Kyun liked it. "Round up the men, double file."

"Squad, double file!" Larkson shouted. "Follow the lieutenant!"

The Trip - part 2

Lieutenent Charkos lead the way, his men at his heels. They had been running towards the shrieks and gunfire just ahead for some minutes now, and it was clear that the nids were foccused on the Company. 2nd Platoon was able to slip through the streets without any nids at their back. The forty men, backed by Vantrava, the tau, and the blood angel, a shabby collection of warriors in all, quickly made their way.

Larkson suddenly saw the reasuring colors of his regiment. Only, the battlegear was worn by a dead Ousian.

"Check for ammo." Dukkas ordered.

Larkson smartly jogged to the corpse. He plucked some choice items from the corpse. Three ammo clips, a grenade, a pack of lho sticks. He wondered if he had to take his dogtags. He shook it out of his mind, and ran after his platoon, who were now a dozen yards ahead of him.

The platoon had arrived at the back of the company's line. Fifth Company was holding a loose line behind the cover of the shot through buildings.

Charkas looked for an officer, and he was dirrected to the commanding officer, who clutched a bloody arm and was armed with a battered laspistol. Some quick words which Larkson couldn't hear, and he beckoned the platoon onwards. They were only at the back of the line. The front was a minute' jog away.

Gunfire, shrieks, explosions. Larkson sensed some action, and smartly put a fresh clip in his lasgun.

Arken and the Scouts made into the city. It seemed odly peacefull unlike the reports sent to the 7th company 3 weeks ago. Arken was slightly confused.
"I thought this planet was meant to be raveged by Tyranids?" Said Arken to one of the scouts.
" It is!" Shouted one of the scouts as warrior jumped at them.
Arken charged ant the warrior and knocked it off the scout with his shield. It got back up and charged at him. Arken swang his sword taking off its head and an arm in one clean sweep. The creature fell to the ground . Arken pulled the Scout up.
"Are you allright?" Asked Arken
"Fine." Replied the Scout.
"Damn we have lost the guards!" Said Arken " Right squad we are going to investgate. See if we can find any more Tyyranids!"

The battle - part 1

The shrieks came closer, The explosions louder, the gunfire fiercer.

"Let's get some!" Charkas shouted, raking his shotgun. " Ousians, reinforce the line!"

The platoon scattered, taking places between gaps in the line. Apparently, they had come just in time to help with the second wave of nids. A hundred yards away, a huge swarm of clawed creatures scuttled closer to the Ousian battleline. Heavy bolters were spitting death, lasbeams stabbed, and rockets hit home within the tyranid horde, but still they came.

80 yards. Larkson squinted through his sights. He picked a target, and squeezed the trigger. A nid's head splattered, brain matter flew in the air. All around him, the Ousians were firing on full auto. Deciding that single shot wouldn't help a lot, he chose to switch to full auto as well.

The line was ablaze, beams of light, rockets and high calibre shells were fired at the horde. It was like fireworks, Larkson reckoned.

The nids were only fifty metres away now. He wondered where their newly found friends were. The mosnters just kept coming closer and closer. There was no way stopping them. It didn't matter how many they took down, there were two more fo ach nid they killed. It wouldn't be long until they reached the line now.

Larkson fired like a madman, not minding where he shot at. His beams sould hit either way, there was no way missing. Several steps next to him, he saw Charkas clenching his shotgun, grinning his teeth.

"Twenty metres!, fix bayonets!" Charkas yelled. The Lieutenant himself had the large trademark short-sword the Ousians were all issued with. Fitted on a lasgun, you'd get a halbard like weapon, but there was no way of fixing the blade to his shotgun.

All around him, men were throwing grenades at the horde. The explosions created gaps in the swarm for a couple of seconds, until they were filled with more xenos.

Around him, Larkson could see Ousians fleeing backwards, towards the second line. He shot a glance at Charkas, then Dukkas. Theye were staying put, so Kyun would do the same. He felt his lasgun falling silent, and quickly reloaded a fresh clip in his gun. The first of the nids were punching through the lines. A couple of Ousians were ripped to shreds, but Larkson could see Charkas shooting and raking his shotgun madly, each shot ripping through chitinous flesh.

OOC: more Ousian violence will come shortly. I have to do some homework now.

Battle part 1: Vantrava`s view
*Vantrava came around a side street and saw the advantage he wanted. The back of the tyrinid force. "Go now and kill the xenos", yelled Vantrava to his group of warriors. The tau filed into a building next to him and started to fire a barrage of bullets into the horde. The space marine ran at the enemy in a frenzy swinging a chainsword he found. Vantrava pulled out his heavy bolter and walked out into the middle of the street and pour bullets into the backs of the tyrinid. They died in swaths from the onslaught of pulse rounds and bolt rounds, but the space marine slaughtered more in the moments of him attacking then the combined fire of the tau and commissar. He took three guants with a forward sweep and took a warrior on the back swing. Five more nids fell within seconds followed by a group of genestealers. Vantrava could see through the hordes to the front line of the guard. They were retreating from the onslaught of the tyrinid. The tyrinid finally turned to their new attackers and charged. A carnefex at the lead of the charge headed for the space marine. The marine side stepped the nid and grabbed its spiked back and jumped on. The nid frantically bucked to get the marine off but the marine pulled out his melta and shot a beam of heat through its face. The carnefex dropped dead. The marine jumped off into the fray and started to slaughter as much as he could. Vantrava realized he needed to find cover. He jumped into a tollbooth in the center of the road. He pulled out his combi-flamer and fired his special hellfire bolts into the nids.*

OOC:

Alright Neon you`ve gained a chainsword.

Name: Severus Zharkov
Wargear: Autocannon, carapace armor
Story: Severus Zharkov was born on the Forge World of Prometheus, and was taken under the wing of Magos Errant Jesek, who taught him the way of the Machine. Shortly after the Cleansing of Prometheus, Severus caught the eye of the Polypsykana Inquisitor Jethroh, who inducted him into his cadre of Acolytes. On Severus' first mission as an agent of the Inquisition, he was sent to the Chartist Vessel Star Childe, which had seen an increase in the creation of heretical cults and a disproportionately large number of psykers born after an attack by unknown assailants.
Upon arrival, Severus met with fellow Technographer Khan. After questioning the local Mech-Deacon by means of uplink, the band met up with the team that cleared away the wreckage after the attack. Strange, pulsating blue and purple fragments that were inscribed with warp-runes were laid out upon a table. As Severus picked one up, he felt more connected with his cybernetics than he ever had felt before. Then, as a group of three tech-priests and several servitors entered the room, the rest of the Acolytes hid, leaving the tech-priests and the technographers alone. Severus questioned the lead tech-priest about he wreckage, who told him that it was a missile from a Thousand Sons vessel. Hoping to learn more, Severus linked up with the heretek, and was filled with visions of great, terrible ravens that laughed at the broken wreck of Humanity's future. He heard thousands of horrid voices, rising as one, to sing the songs that would end the world of sanity and symmetry that Man clung to. And most terrible of all, he saw himself, suspended above all of it, an immortal God-Machine, caring not for the suffering beneath him, a being of infinite power and twisted, impossible logic. After the link, Severus fired point-blank at the heretek, shredding him to gory chunks, the rest of the Acolytes joined the fray, slaughtering the rest of the false-priests. Severus tried to link with Khan, to show him what he had seen, but Khan refused. They departed the witch-vessel, each content, knowing they had done their duty to the God-Emperor, almost all. Severus had taken the strange fragments from the table back on the Star Childe, knowing that there was a great secret locked within them. Only Khan saw him take the pieces, but he said nothing to the Inquisitor, and neither did Severus. Ever since the Star Childe, Severus remains convinced that the cult found aboard the witch-vessel was much more far spread than they were led to believe, that every facet of the Mechanicus in the Calixis Sector is tainted by the heresy they found aboard the Star Childe. Severus was later transferred to the Expedition Fleet by Inquisitorial Order. Though he follows the orders of his Inquisitor, his agenda is much different from the rest of the Acolytes. He sees the constraints put on technology by the Imperium as ludicrously foolish. He secretly has been collecting parts over the years to create a fully functioning sentient machine, the ultimate tech-heresy, the Silica Animus. If these beliefs were ever discovered, Severus would be mind-raped before being scrapped and then recycled into a servitor. In appearance, Severus is obviously a Tech-Priest. countless wires and tubes spill from the coverings of his crimson robes. His legs have been replaced with four thin, spider-like legs, making him incredibly disturbing to those unfamiliar with the Priesthood of Mars. His face has been mostly replaced with metal, bits of white bone show through his brass casing in certain areas, however. He scuttles over the ground on his metal limbs, making unnerving clicking sounds. A belt-fed autogun has been grafted to his shoulder, leaving his hands free for other tasks. His voice has a mechanical timbre to it, often adding to his terrifying appearance.
Personality: Severus, like all Tech-priests, is distant and cold.
Evil (by Imperial standards): Create a fully sentient machine.

OOC: remember there must be around a thousand of them. You, a couple of Tau, and a blood angel isn't going to help much. I was about to RP a retreat for the Guard.

Battle part 2: Vantrava`s view
*Vantrava cursed as he saw the horde advance from side streets too. He activated his camo on his suit and ran to the tau occupied building and ran to Kais. "we need to get out of here the tyrinid will overwhelm us if we dont", shouted Vantrava over the screeches of the nids. "i know human we`re currently calling a orca dropship to pick us up. Call your marine back he won't survive without our support", replied Kais. Vantrava agreed. "Vantrava to Veshuma, get back to me we`re leaving i need you". Veshuma understood and chopped his way back to the building. The last few yards he ran through the open ground of the fill zone. A deep roar could be heard then a blast of concrete and shrapnel. Vantrava looked up and saw a tau orca flying above the building. He could see a grav beam coming from the ship. Kais and his squad walked into it. Veshuma walked up and looked at me and made a growling sound that was amplified by his vox. Vantrava urged him forward. The space marine reluctantly walked into the beam. He floated upward. Suddenly a tyrinid warrior burst up the stairs. Vantrava quickly shot it threw the torso a few times. It fell and Vantrava quickly stepped into the beam. He was carried upward and felt nauseas. He finally floated into the orca and stepped onto its deck. It was empty other than the tau and space marine. He looked back down at the battle and was astonished at the bravery of the guard still holding the line. The nid force was thinning out and running to regroup several blocks away. Vantrava caught site of the boy he talked to last night stabbing a warrior in the face. The nid fell back dead after he shot it to eject it off his bayonet. "Kais bring behind the guard line i must help them", Vantrava said. "It's a hopeless effort human, but i will not reject your request", Kais replied. The orca went over to the second line of guard and activated the grav beam. Vantrava went over to the beam and dropped down, closely following was Veshuma. Then Vantrava noticed the tau were coming down too. Vantrava knew that the tau didnt have to, but they did out of honor. Vantrava then felt the ground underneath his feet and walked out of the beam. He ran up to the front line and started to add his fire to the fray. The guard behind him almost shot the tau but realized they were here to help. The space marine ran past Vantrava and started to slaughter the nids that had broken through the lines. Vantrava saw the boy again defending his LT`s ravaged body. He had the combat shotgun in hand and was pumping it as fast as he could fire. Vantrava ran over and fired his flamer attachment kill 20 nids in the flames. The boy looked at the commissar and nodded a silent thanks. Vantrava returned it. The boy then reloaded in the few seconds he had before the nids came back. They both fought back to back for several minutes until there were no more nids. The boy slouched in exhaustion. Vantrava caught him and hauled him back to the second line. Vantrava put him down and let him rest. Vantrava then went up and searched for the LT. After a few minutes of searching he found him. He had a gash down the right side of his face and a slash that had cut his gut open. The commissar uttered an oath of eternal rest. He then walked back to the second line the tau had left earlier to go and regroup with his forces and the marine was out with a kill team to kill any stragglers. The boy was where he had left him. He took the LT. pin he had taken from the dead officer and pinned on his shoulder. Vantrava then noticed the gaping wound on his right arm. Vantrava having fought many wars knew how to treat it. He took out his medic kit he always had on him and dressed the boy up. The wound had only been a slice so he had no broken bones, but he splinted it none the less. He then himself slumped in exhaustion, but was nudged by a officer who was nearby. Vantrava looked up and saw the commander of the regiment. "Commissar that was good work out there, but that doesnt mean you can promote one of my own without my permission", he said. Vantrava looked at him and spat, "I didnt see you out on the front line slaughtering nids. And i`m a Colonel-Commissar so i have full rights. Now if you dont excuse me i need my sleep." The officer backed off and walked away, thoroughly angry from being treated like that. Vantrava didnt care and went to sleep.*

OOC:

Alright i`ll add you once we get the battle from scrazza`s view ok.

The battle - part 3

Larkson was groggy. He was tired from the fight. He lay against a riddled wall, but he could still see his kinsmen dying around him. He had noticed the commissar has pinned something on his collar. He tried to look at it. It were Charkos' rank pins. Why had he promoted him, above all the others? He was just Dukkas' adjudant.

In a grim mood, he realized Dukkas must be dead as well, just like Charkas.

'Wait a sec, Charkas wasn't dead when I left him.'

Larkson pushed his tired body onwards, to the place where Charkos body was lying. It would be a blow to moral, Charkos really pulled the platoon together when it was needed.

He came across dozens of dead. The company had taken quite a beating. He wondered how many men there were left in the platoon, his platoon now.

Somehow, he carried Charkos' shotgun. He didn't remember taking it. He turned around a corpse, but saw that it wasn't Charkos. He wandered about for a while, until he finally found Charkos' body. It was nearly cut to pieces. He had bled out. Larkson found his own lasgun, with his short-sword still attached to it. He picked it up, and shouldered Charkos' shotgun around his shoulder.

The nid swarm was scattered for a while, but Guardsmen were still hunting down roving nids inside the line.

He decided to collect his platoon.

OOC:

Alright Mordo i need you to make a story for there to be a reason for the inquisition ok.

IC:

*Vantrava woke with a start. He looked around and noticed that the boy had left. He got up. He felt sore and stretched his back. He looked around and realized it was night. He also noticed a platoon not too far away. He decided to go join them. He walked up and realized it was the platoon he had already been with. He walked over to them and raised his hand and yelled, "good work boys. I`ve yet to see such bravery from a small group of guard." They all cheered a victory cry. The boy told the platoon to get some sleep and the platoon left. It was just Vantrava and the boy. The boy looked at him funny and said, "why me sir?" Vantrava said, "because you fought and defended your LT. and the fact that you were brave enough to face the horde when no one else could. I felt it was right to have you promoted, but your colonel didnt take it well. But the platoon needed a good leader and i saw that in you." The boy looked at him, smiled then shrugged, "i guess i was just doin my duty sir." They both laughed. It felt good to laugh thought Vantrava. He motioned towards the shotgun and said, "give it here. Its jammed." The boy looked at him and laughed. I realized he hadn't used one before. He handed it to me and Vantrava pulled back the slide and pulled out his gun cleaner kit. He took a anti-clog solution out and poured it down the barrel. A chuck of dirt fell out the end. Vantrava then shoved a swab down it and pulled it out. He handed back the shotgun. "Now i have to go talk to your commander on issue's of bravery. Commissar first and colonel second", Vantrava laughed to himself and walked off.*

(Simple, the Ordo Xenos would be brought in to deal with the tyranid threat.)

Arken and the scouts were deep in the city. They had been battling their way through the streets.
"Vul'haan auspex report!" Demand Arken
" Somthing is coming and its big!" Replied Vul'haan.
Suddenly a Mawloc eurpted out of the ground. One of scouts went flying. When he landed he was already dead. The other was knocked back to be impaled by one of the Mawloc's Talons.
Arken and Vul'haan turned to look at the monster.
"My Brothers no!" Shouted Vul'haan.
He aimed his sniper at the Mawloc's head. The shot rang and the round flew into it's eye exploding it. The Creature yelled in pain and launched itself at Vul'haan. Arken jumped in the way taking the hit. He flew backward into a building. Vul'haan looked in shock. Arken in his last ditched attempt to kill the beast jucked a melta bomb in its mouth. A large explosion happened in the creatures neck. Fire was pouring out of its mouth nose and eyes. The creature screamed before burrowing its self underground. Vul'haan ran upto Arken.
"Captain!" He shouted.
Arken was sturggling to get up.
"Here let me help!" Vul'haam said.
Vul'haan gave Arken a hand. Arken got up to his feet.
"Thank you." Arken said. He walked up to his power sword and picked it up.
"We need reinforcements!" Remarked Arken.

OOC:

I meant a good reason. Like an investigation to make the story juicy.

*Vantrava left the tent, furious. He cursed the gutless pig that was the regiments commander. He walked over to the boy`s platoon area. But he was interrupted by the vox in his ear. He got a weak signal. "Any imperial force....Schzzz..... Hello anybod.......Schzzz..... Please respond......Schzzz." Vantrava tapped his mike, "This is Colonel-Commissar Vantrava our coordinates are 4.56 by 5.98". The mike fizzled for a few more minutes then went dead. Vantrava hoped that his message got through. He started again towards the camp. He saw the boy amongst a group of guard. He walked over and pulled him aside. The boy looked at him funny and ask, "sir you need me"? "Yes, i`m going to go look for a group that i just picked up on my vox, and i need a squad, but i dont trust anyone but your platoon, so can you get me a squad of 20 to look for these survivors. They sounded like space marines. But i could be wrong. Oh and whats your name again"? "Its larkson sir, and i can do that sir".*

IC:

Kais sat against the wall, remembering the fight they had. The humans had shown great bravery, it was to be commended. One of the boys seemed to have been promoted. But that did'nt mean it was a good day.

Suddnely he heard something coming through on the communications in his helmet. There was a voice, which kept being interupted by static.

"Kais! Kais! For the sake of the greater good answer me! Kais!"

"Who is that? Is that you, Mont'yr? Mont'yr!"

"It is me, Kais! It is me! We are being attacked! I repeat, we are being attacked! Tyranids! More than we have eer seen! They are attacking the ship! They are ravaging it! Everybody is dying! Everybody! The Shas'O is dead!"

"The Shas'O? Dead?!" Kais paused, and thought about this. The ShasO was dead. His warriors were dying at this exact time. His squad was crowding in around him, as they had obviously heard what he was saying. Mont'yr was still alive. He had to get him out. "Mont'yr, just run, otherwise you will die as well! Retreat, escape! I will come and pick you up! Just run!"

IC:

*Vantrava sitting on a valkyrie watched the carnage that was unfolding in front of him. He saw the tau getting attacked from all sides. He remembered his promise. He and his entire regiment, The Armageddon 501st, were aboard valkyrie`s riding for the tau lines. Vantrava saw a clearing around a few Manta`s. He ordered the pilots to land in the clearing. The 20 valkyrie`s landed in the clearing and soldiers in the hundreds filed out the dropships. Vantrava yelled into his vox, "help bolster the tau lines!". The guard did as they were told. He ran over to a group of battlesuits and added his fire to the hail of bullets. The closest battlesuit took a glance at him, but didnt complain. The battle started to turn into a stalemate after about a hour of fighting. The tyrinid were dying in swath upon swath, but the tau and guard could barely hold off the tyrinid. Vantrava keyed his vox and tuned to the tau channel. He picked up a frantic cacophony , but he yelled anyways. "Kais where are you. We`re supporting your men but i must know who`s in charge. I must talk to him."*

IC:

Kais hears this from Vantrava and replies frantically.

"There is no one whos in charge, the Shas'O and other high ranking warriors are dead! Just try and find somebody called Mont'yr! He seems to know whats going on! Hes a Shas'ui, but hes not in a battlesuit!"

IC:

*"Ok i got it." Vantrava yells. He motions for his command squad to stay put and to keep the heavy fire on the tyrinid. He runs back towards the center of the ring. He looks for a command squad or a high ranking tau. He sees a Shas'ui giving commands on top of a hammerhead. He runs over and the Shas'ui spots him. He points to a adjacent Shas'ui and he replaced the commander. The Shas'ui drops down from the hammerhead and makes the symbol of peace. Vantrava waves it off, "sorry for my informalities but i need to know how many of you are alive and how much those manta`s can hold"? "We`ve lost somewhere from 700 to 900 warriors from the original 1800 soldiers are here. We`ve also lost all but two hammerhead, and all but one orca. And the manta`s can carry all of the tau. But not your men", said Mont'yr. "That's fine just get all of your troops up onto the manta`s and we`ll worry about ourselves. Plus we have our valkyrie`s", replied Vantrava. "I hope you have a place to land", shouted Mont'yr, because a blob of acid thudded into the ground next to them. "We do the coordinates are 4.56 by 5.98, Vantrava said. "Ok i`m giving the order now", Mont'yr said. Vantrava nodded and keyed his vox, "let's get out of here boys, mount up we`re going home". The retreat took 30 minutes, but they got away. The 501st had taken 70 casualties and a huge amount of wounds. Vantrava sighed, he had fought two huge battles within a single day. He watched the sun rise and fell asleep on the two hour ride home.*

OOC: am I (Larkson + platoon) with Vantrava now, or still with 5th Company?

OOC:
No your currently hunting for the space marine and the scout. I had just remember that i had said i`d come and assist the tau.

ah, oke.

BIC:

Larkson had gathered his platoon. There were only 28 men left, including himself. He made a short count of what tey had. 2 missile launchers, seven shots each, a plasma gun salvaged from Charkos dead specialist, a flamer with half a tank of prometheum. The rest were just armed with lasguns, bar Larkson's new shotgun, swung around his shoulder. as a surplus, they still had the vox with them.

Larkson appointed trooper Wilde and Hailev as squad sergeants. The platoon was now split in three squads, two of twelve men, and one of Larkson and the remaining three others.

The squads made a sweep, according to the last sent message of the Astartes. They were formed up in a sweeping pattern, Larkson's squad in the centre with the only vox, with the two others at his flanks. The platoon had traversed three miles by now, but there was still no sign of the Astartes. According to the last recieved message, they shouldn't be far. Larkson reckoned they must he hiding somewhere, and decided to use the vox.

"Lieutenant Larkson speaking," he said, not fully used to the new title, "Astartes do you hear me? I repeat, do you hear me?"

IC:

*Vantrava was woken up by one of his men as they landed. He stepped off the valkyrie and looked around. Fifth company had been hit again. It was a small force but they looked battered. Vantrava keyed his vox, "Alright 501st move up and bolster the lines, double-time"! Vantrava watched his troops move up to the lines and set up their heavy weapons. Vantrava then watched the valkyrie`s take off and land in the square down the street. The manta`s moved in then and they landed. A whole 700 tau walked off the ships and got into ranks. Then the Shas'ui Mont`yr walked off and ordered the tau to move into the buildings surrounding the street. The tau executed this perfectly and smoothly. The two hammerheads left took up positions behind the third line. Two squads of broadsides moved for small buildings on the side. They shot the corners and cause a ramp to be formed from the rumble. They walked up the ramps and set up for support. Vantrava met up with Fifth company and went to the command tent. The commander wasn`t the same. "who are you", Vantrava asked. "I am the new commander, commander Sceptus died in the last assault. I`m commander Fernet.", replied Fernet. "Ok then. Now where is Larkson`s platoon"? "Out on the mission you sent them on", Fernet said. "Alright thank you commander", Vantrava said as he left the tent. A orca then came from the north and landed next to the valkyrie`s. Vantrava watched Kais walk out of the orca and approach Mont'yr. They talked then Kais walked over to me and padded me on the shoulder and walked into a building next to the command tent. Vantrava walked over to his now set up command tent and picked up the vox, "Larkson if you can hear me respond".*

IC:

Kais moved towards Mont'yr and spoke to him.

"It's great again to see you alive friend. Tell me, how large was the Tyranid force that attacked you?"

"The feeling is mutual. They attacked in an amazingly large force. I estimated 20,000+ Tyranids. Our firepower took a lot of them out when we first saw them, but then they swarmed over our forces. It was terrifying. We were lucky we pulled out when we did, with the help of your Imperial friends."

"They are our allies, true, as they have proven thier worth. Now, we need to discuss who will take over command from the Shas'O."

"Agreed. Now, you have always been a leader, you could lead."

"No, you should, as you have had more experience than me when it comes to fighting Tyranids. Besides, you deserve it for your bravery back there."

Mont'yr paused, and then spoke again.

"Fine, I shall do it. Just take care of yourself Kais."

"You too Mont'yr. Now, I think you should go and make your authority known."

"Lieutenant Larkson speaking," he said, not fully used to the new title, "Astartes do you hear me? I repeat, do you hear me?"

"Arken! Some one is trying to contact us over the vox!" Said Vul'haan.
"Relay the message!" Demaned Arken.
Vul'haan let vox come thourgh. The message was faint and crackly "Lieutenant Larks...... sp....Ast....es do you hear.....e? I repeat, do .....,?
"Its the Gaurdsmen looking for us!" Arken replied."Vul'haan contact them."
Vul'haan started recording the message. "This is Scout Vul'haan of the Sons of the Dragon Chapter we are just out side of the city. I repeat we are just out side of the city. Oh damn it more Tyranids...."

Larkson could hear the Astartes message loud and clear.

"Platoon, we foudn them, they are just 2 miles away from us!" Lakson said.

This was met by a cheer from the men, not long now, and this dangerous trip would be over.

"This is Larkson, hold on, we are converging on your location. "

Just as he sent that message, he recieved a vox of Vantrava.

"I hear you loud and clear, sir." He spoke through the link. "We have just found the Astartes, they are located just outside of the city. We are converging on their position as we speak. Larkson out."

He gave the vox horn back to the opperator, and urged his men on.

"Swamp rats, double time!"

OOC:

I have taken the liberty to make a map of the area we are in.

The grey circles are cities, the grey lines are roads. The blue blob is a lake. The green sprays are forests.
The green splatters on top of the brpwn spray is a swmapland, with the blue line as a river through it, and the grey square a local fishing town.

Feel free to edit Yeroc.

"Larkson we need support now!" Shoute Vul'haan down the Vox. "Arken is battling a carnifex and I doubt we can hold if it any longer! Please assist!
Arken was battling the Carnifex. Slowly his reactions became slower. He was become tired and if that was not bad enough he was injured from the Mawloc encounter.

Larkson's platoon quickly made it's way across the rubble. After half an hour of running, they got sight of the fight. Larkson ordered his missile launchers to each launch a single rocket into the Carnifex, after he advised Arken to throw himself clear.

The rockets hit home, and severly wounded the Carnifex. Arken took advantage of the shrieking, wounded state of the Carnifex, and stung his powersword through the wrecked carapace armour, through the monster's heart. The Carnifex fell dead after a last, streched shriek.

Larkson signalled the all clear sign to his platoon, and waved them forward, towards the two battered Astartes.

"I'm glad we found you, Astartes." Larkson said, a shudder going through his spine, he had never seen a space marine before. not in his 29 year old life, not in that 1 year of service within the guard. "Lieutenant Larkson, 2nd platoon, 31st Riverine." he saluted smartly.

IC:

*Vantrava picked up the astartes transmission again and heard they were under attack. He waited some time for a transmission but didnt get any. He keyed his vox, "Larkson status on the astartes"?*

Larkson's vox crackled again.

"I hear you, commissar." He spoke into the vox. "We have caught up with the Astartes, and we are securing the area, over."

IC:

*"Alright then i`ll send some valkyrie`s to pick you up what's your coordinates"? He signaled one of the pilots who had been listening in to get a few valkyrie`s started. The pilot left and hurried to the square. Vantrava looked at the square and walked over there. He got on one and requisitioned a squad to come with him.*

Larkson quickly took out his map, and urged his platoon and the Astartes to be weary, there could always be more nids about.

"Our coordinates are: 186.Alpha.766, I repeat, 186.Alpha.766, awaiting extraction, over."

IC:

*"Got it we`ll be there in 20 minutes out", Vantrava responded. He gave the coordinates to the pilot and he relayed it to the other two valkyrie`s. The valkyrie`s then took off and headed for Larkson and the marines. The trip was shorter than expected but Vantrava didn't complain. The valkyrie`s landed and the Vantrava`s squad jumped out and secured the landing zone. Larkson was a block away according to his coordinates. Vantrava keyed his vox again, "Larkson we`re a block away to the north of you".*

IC:

Kais stood in the small building, alone. He thought about the horrific events of the day. Half of the entire Tau army that was sent to this planet were dead. He was one of the survivors. True, there were still a lot of them, but many more Tyranids. The thought made his blood go cold.

He realised that he should go and tell Vantrava about the new Tau leadership, which was Mont'yr his dearest friend. They had met when Kais had just started out as a Shas'Saal. They had been friends ever since. It had made him terrified to hear that he was in danger earlier that day.

He walked out of the building, and asked a nearby Soldier where Vantrava was. He told him that he was gone picking up Larkson's platoon, and some Space Marines.

"Then tell him to come to me when he returns."

The soldier nodded, and Kais then went searching for Mont'yr.

The new map same as before but the brown is grassland and desert

"Got it, Commissar," Larkson spoke through the link. "we are converging on your position right away."

"Swamp Rats, move out, on me!" He yelled.

As one, 27 men and two marines came out of cover, and ran after Larkson. Just as Larkson and his platoon went around a corner, and came in sight of Vantrava, something bad happened. All around them, the sewer grates rattled, scratching noises against the metal plates. suddenly, a dozen of them came off, and a Genestealer clawed out of each man hole. Faced by twelve 'stealers, Larkson weighed down his options. Stand and fight, or make a dash across the alley towards The valks.

"Larkson, hurry!" Vantrava spoke through the vox. "We can only stay on the ground for a short time!"

Vantrava's men were firing at the genestealers, and one of them collapsed. Larkson ordered his flamer specialist to the front, and he and the specialist led the way. Two genestealers were engulfed in flame, but one of them sheared off a head of a guardsmen with it's tallons. They were on top of them now. Larkson switched to full auto on his lasgun, and raked the area to his right, stabbing beams of light punched through a stealer's torso, killing it. Another Guardsman died, almost cut in two by the razor sharp tallons. Larkson was almost inside the first valkyrie, but he stopped on top of the ramp, turned around and fired.

"Come on Ousians! He yelled.

The first of the men boarded the valks, and the Astartes lended their fire into the mix. There were only three Genestealers left now, but five guardsmen lay dead already. As the last guardsmen boarded the valkyrie, the genestealers dissapeared as soon as they appeared.

Larkson looked outside of the opened back, and quickly dashed out again, two others at his heels. He collected ammo clips, grenades, and the dead men's dogtags. He reckoned it would boost morale a bit, the men seeing their platoon commander braving the streets again, taking dogtags.

Larkson returned to the valkyrie, and nodded to Vantrava. Everybody was in, and the Valkyrie left off, towards the position of 5th company.

Hey can we back track to when i secure the landing sight and vox larkson? i`ve got a different scenario that i need to incorperate for the story later on, but if not thats fine

Actually nvrmind i can work with this. just dont post anymore story yet

The Aquila Lander touched down, throwing up plumes of white smoke as it so, sending the native wildlife scurrying for cover. The ramp slid to the ground, and a hunched creature in red Mechanicus robes clicked down the ramp on four, thin, spider-like limbs, a purring autocannon searched about for prey on it's mount on his shoulder. His right arm ended in a multi-tool, with multiple jacks, plugs, and welders fused to the digits. Two servitors followed him, both carrying a massive, psycho-active box, with hexagrammic wards covering it's black surface. His orders were clear; obtain samples of a strange blue psycho-active material found on this world, supposedly in a hail of asteroids days before the Tyranid invasion. Several Inquisitorial Storm Troopers followed the servitors down the ramp, their hellguns searching for a target. Severus made his way through the wood, his aetheric-reader hunting for a trace of the material.

Arken looked at Larkson and then the Dogtags.
"Why do you risk Life and Limb for those things?" Asked Arken. Who himself was just as unfilimar with the ways of gaurdsmen as Larkson was with the ways of the Astartes.

"To honor the dead." Larkson said. "It's a tradition from back home."

Larkson looked at the dogtags. He didn't know any of these names, nor the men how carried the name. As a platool commander, he swore to himself to know each men by name.

Arken looked Larkson. Then at the passing ground as they flew over the city.
"We need to bring in reinforcements. The seventh company lie in orbit."

@Yeroc: How's your scenario going? *awaiting it eagerly*

Sorry had to help make a drawer. almost done

IC:

*Vantrava watched as Larkson jumped with the marines onto the valkyrie. Suddenly Vantrava heard a huge roar. It sounded huge. Then the ground shook violently. Vantrava looked around and saw something he wish he didnt. It was a tyrinid Hierophant. Vantrava smelled a sudden ammonia smell and realized the trooper next to him had soiled himself. Larkson and his platoon looked at the tyrinid terrified. A guard fell but the space marine caught him. The Hierophant looked at the valkyrie`s and roared again. Then it spat a blob of acid at them. It glanced Vantrava`s valkyrie. It sidelined into the next valkyrie and they both fluttered but regained stability. Vantrava held on and almost fell out. Vantrava watched one of his squad members fell to his death. Vantrava shouted, "get us the feth out of here"! The pilot was happy to comply and took off the other pilots followed suit. The hierophant spat again and it missed. It was infuriated that its prey had got away. It started to climb the blocks to give chase to the valkyrie`s. It kept up pace with them. Vantrava contacted the tau, "Tau we need you to focus your fire on a tyrinid Hierophant that's following us. I know what those manta`s can do to titan`s." "I understand they`ll be up in 2 minutes", replied Mont`yr. Vantrava cursed. They didnt have 2 minutes. Vantrava heard Larkson say something about a loop and decided to do something risky. "Lawster make a roundabout to the landing site we need to buy two minutes", Vantrava said. The pilot acknowledged and relayed the orders to the other pilots. Vantrava looked out the back and saw the Hierophant was gaining slightly. Larkson was relaying info to his commander. The space marine was checking his load on his bolt pistol and his scout was cleaning his sniper. Vantrava watched as the valkyrie`s banked and started to make a loop. The Hierophant decided to spit another blob. It went wide and clearly missed. The valkyrie`s detour was almost complete. They had shaved off a minute and a half. Vantrava preyed to the emperor and made the sign of the Aquila. Then all 4 manta`s flew up from the ground. Every one of them hefting 8 railguns and several missile pods. They all fired at the Hierophant. The firepower tore it in two. Then it exploded. Guts started to rain down from the sky. Vantrava let out a sigh of relief. He could hear, (despite the roar of the engines), the cheers rising up from the guard and tau along with everyone on the valkyrie`s. The valkyrie`s despite the guts made it down safe. Vantrava, Larkson`s platoon, and the space marines walked off and were greeted by hundreds of cheering voices. Vantrava patted Larkson on the head and headed for his command tent. The space marine and his scout followed. Larkson walked off to his command tent to talk to his commander. Vantrava thought to himself what a spectacular thing for morale this will be. Kais walked up to him on his way and shouted, "nicely done human. I`d never expect such tactical brilliance from a human. But anyways you did it. Mont'yr would like to talk to you. But i also see you have something to attend to anyways so i`ll you do that". Kais slapped Vantrava`s shoulder and walked off. Vantrava walked off to his tent. Felling a bit guilty for taking credit for something he had only half come up with. It was Larkson who thought about doing the loop. He`d have to address that in all due time. He walked into his tent and sat.*

OOC:

I hope this was worth the wait

It certainly was, I'll write something up shortly. (read, within the hour, or otherwise tomorrow )

Something rather short, but I couldn't make up something else.

Larkson walked out of his commander's tent. He had handed over the dogtags, and he took to adressing his platoon. Charkos being dead, he had to rouse the men. there were 23 men left, including himself. The whole regiment had taken quite a beating. 39% casualties, and this were only the opening stages. He had taken a hint from the captain that they, alongside the other companies stationed in this town, were moving out into the swamp lands just 20 miles outside the city.

The swamps were the favored area of the Ousians, it felt like home. With this, Larkson knew what to say.

OOC

I suggest we wait till the other players can catch up with their own rp's. Otherwise thinsg will get hectic and messy.

Agreed. Alright Arken make a dialogue of you bring down 7th company and i`m going to have another battle tomorrow to get everyone caught up. Oh and Neon you`ll be sticking with me from now until something happens. The swamps sound like a nice area to continue the rp with it allows us to like up with the evil player and it`ll add a different scenario of fighting. So this ends the first phase of the rp. Woohoo so by tuesday everyone should be caught up. Thank you all for participating so far. And putting up with me as the leader of this.

Will tommorow okay. You see I need to get some sleep.
Might as well do it now.

"This Arken Vul'taan captain of the 7th comapany. The situation here is far graver than we thought. We need all of the seventh comapny here to aid the guardsmen and Tau. Also conatct Furnace. Draco Imperialis could be of great assiantce here. Over"
"This is strike crusier Hammer of the Dragon. The 7th company are mobalising commander and are almost ready to make planet fall. "War machines will be dropped off via thunder Hawks and as for the Warlord Titan Draco. The request has been sent to the chapter master. we are awaiting response."

Woah woah woah. did i hear a warlord titan. thats a bit extreme even for a huge tyrinid infestation. The titan would be overwhelmed within minutes of open combat. I`m sorry but that is too big. Maybe a warhound ore two to deal with the Hierophant`s but even then. So i`m going to have to say know to the warlord titan. sorry

I was not intended to come anyway. Use else where. Any 8 mantas is alot!

OOC: sorry lol, i've been uber busy with work and painting lol

Its four manta`s and thats for transport. Manta`s are transport first and weapon platforms second. And either way you go the warlord will be over run. Its quite logical to leave titans out of tyrinid battles. sorry i just dont want a warlord here. It is something that all the guard would be talking about if it came. trust me its not good for the story. Anyways the second part starts today. You are allowed to select four weapons. I have a few more additions to the armory. And if you have any suggestions just pm me about them. Here`s the new list

Armory:
One-handed
Long las
custom weapon(any wepon of you can explain and that isnt a god weapon. counts as two weapon choices)
shotgun
Two-handed
custom weapon(any wepon of you can explain and that isnt a god weapon. counts as two weapon choices)
Machines/ vehicles (counts as three choices)
Servitor squad
bike
skiff
skimmer
transport
dreadnought

And thats it. Submit your wargear when you post again. And you dont have to change your weapons.

*Vantrava looked at the command map in his leviathan. He and his regiment along with The tau, the Ousians, the space marine chapter sons of the Dragons chapter, and the single blood angel remaining. Vantrava was heading the campaign into the swamps due to his stealth regiment. The Ousians were his experts though when it came to the swamps. He trusted their judgment more than his advisors. He had Larkson at his side as the ambassador of the Ousians. He was very knowledgeable about how to navigate the swamps. He also had Kais and Mont`yr at his side despite the complaints of heresy from the upper command structure. He cared little for them. So he ignored them. Vul'tan was also with him. He was the captain of the 7th company so he provided some advise too. Vantrava didnt like him. He never like space marines. They always assumed they were better than humans. Vantrava would rather have a squad of guardsman then a squad of space marines. He had on multiple occasions killed traitor marines when they laughed in his face about him being a lowly human. But Vantrava lived with it though. He had full control anyways so the captain could go to the warp for all he cared. "Alright Larkson give me a full report on the Ousians progress", Vantrava said. "The Ousians are moving right along your regiment sir. They are also ready for anything", replied Larkson. Vantrava nodded to him and looked back at the command table. His regiment and the Ousians were blue triangles, the tau were orange triangles, and the space marines were green triangles. He had most of the space marines back to guard the rear. He had fought the tyrinid too many times to not forget the massacre of the 500th regiment of Armageddon. He also had the tau in the center. They were best fitted there if they were attacked. Vantrava walked into the adjoining room to grab his gear. He picked up his custom sniper. He had taken it from a long dead vindicator assassin. It was different than the standard in the fact that it shot a psi-bolt that is stopped by nothing but two meters of admantium. The only down side is that it took a minute to reload. But it compensated for that with a clip of 15. The stock was hand fitted so it was held by the stock and a pair of legs. He also picked up his custom bolt pistol. It was gifted to him from the Salamander chapter. It was named the Hammer of Vulkan. It shot a bolt round that caught fire in the air and exploded on contact. He only used it on tyrinid due to their weakness to fire. He walked back into the command room and signaled for every combat personnel to follow him. They complied and they came to a vehicle bay where a Chimera sat. They all got on it. The gate in front of the transport opened and the Chimera shot out of it to join up with the forces ahead.*

OOC:
Alright scrazza i got to get off. .so i want you to lead for me until tomorrow. Thanks

Larkson, dredging through the swamp, led his platoon forward. Where Vantrava was, he didn't know. He had orders to link up with 3rd company at the fishing town called Herod. Herod was positioned right in the middle of the swamp, and they just had to follow the trail of the river. Larkosn's platoon was the tip of 5th Company, already one and a half miles ahead. the swamp was thick, just like back on Ousia. he dreamed of his homeland, hunting gator with his father. But something bad would happen. Larkson could read the swamps, and things did not bode wel.

OOC: May I have my post, please?

Uhh, I suppose you could just RP as well...

I have, I'm used to a back and forth.

I`m back and you`ll link up with us in the swamp. There is a meteor of great interst to you here ok. I`ll incorperate you into the story once you make contact with us in the swamp

Arken Vul'taan does not hate guardsmen. He thinks they are loyal and thats all that matters. He thinks all who are loyal are just as good as each other. This does rouse arguments with some captins in the chapter. Espically the 1st comapny captin.
IC:
"Sad new. The Warlord will not be making the battle field. Use else where." Came across the vox.
"It would be no use here any way." Replied Arken.

The reader flared to life, giving a squawk of binary code, that Severus collected and interpreted. Pointing towards the muck of the nearby swamp, he spoke in his flat, emotionless voice; "We are near, come, we shall excavate it." The servitors trundled forward as Severus scuttled forward on his thin limbs, followed by the stormtroopers. Entering the sucking mire, Severus cut a path through a tangle of vines with a plasma torch, allowing the servants of the Inquisition passage. His mind abuzz with bursts of chaotic scrapcode, Severus stepped in the direction of the find. A crater had been blasted into the ground, now filled with swamp water, yet still alive with an arcane scent. Searching about for several minutes, Severus closed his steel fingers around a lump of blue stone, his body filled with newfound energy. "Yes! It is here! Commence excavation!"

IC:

*Vantrava was laying down, camouflaged. He took aim through his sniper and fired. A little puff went off and then a tyrinid warrior fell. It had only been a stray. Vantrava`s vox sound then. "Sir we`ve got activity on the southeast portion of the swamps. Repeat activity on southeast edge." Vantrava sent an automated response back. He then got up from his position and moved away. He was still cloaked but he could be seen by his squad as they followed. He was moving for the southeast edge. He had to know what was going on. The possibility of scavengers enraged him. He wouldn't stand for cowardly abandoners. He had already lost a 5% of his regiment due to cowardly abandoners. The other regiments were a lot higher. He saw his chimera waiting to pick him up. He uncloaked and walked up the ramp into the cargo bay. He walked into the driver room and said, "Alright get me to the southeast edge, ASAP". The driver nodded and Vantrava re-entered the passenger hold. The chimera took off into the swamp at full speed.*

(Sorry for not posting for a while, but can I just be brought up to date with where Kais and Mont'yr is?)

Yeah your in the swamp with Vantrava`s regiment. Other than that we havent gotten any further.

(Do you want me to RP the interaction, or do you?)

You i`m currently not able to get on

You guys can continue. I just wont be on for a few days. Scrazza your leader until i return.

*Vantrava dismbarked from the chimera and activated his camo. He moved up through the swamp to his scouts. "Sir, it looks like a inquisitorial group", the scout replied. Vantrava nodded and moved up to look. It sure was. Vantrava moved forward slowly. Making no sound. His camo looked flawless. But the mechanical beast he saw come into view saw him for what he was. A auto-cannon openned up on Vantrava and he dodged out of the way and pulled out his pistol. He was agile despite the slightly bulky armor. He took cover behind a nearby tree. The tree started to tremble as the auto-cannon hammered rounds into it. Vantrava knew he needed to move. He turned his camo off and activated a back-up system reserved for times like this. He ran. He was practically a blur. He got up close to the retinue, which had takin up positions in cover. Vantrava came up behind two stormtroopers and shot both. They flopped over dead. Incinerated from the inside. Vantrava picked up one of their las-carbines and fired on the other two troopers. One of them was clipped on the shoulder and spun. The other took a direct shot to his face and was knocked to the ground with no head. The thing`s auto-cannon finally refound Vantrava. Vantrava shot the auto-cannon brace through the brace. It fell off with a sloshy clump. The thing then pulled something out. It projected a inquisitorial rosette. It wasnt the normal though. It was the special condition rosette. Vantrava had only seen it once before. He flashed back to his time with Gideon Ravoner & Eisonhorn those many years ago. He remembered the inquisitor and what had gone down. He pushed that away and approached the inquisitor. "Thank you human for thuroughly decimating my team", the inquisitor said. Vantrava snorted. The inquisitor`s voice was a metallic voice box. He hated the mechanically altered. Granted he had a prostetic arm but it was the most basic version. He cared little either way. "Inquisitor you better have a good reason to have shot at me. I`m not afraid of you either. I`ve killed one of you before. So dont get any idea`s that i wont again. Now explain yourself", Vantrava replied. Vantrava noticed a group of gun servitors move into the area. Each one was shot three times each. Vantrava would have to thank his scouts for that.*


OOC:

Alright mordo you can start joining in i`ve got you introduced into the story.

"Your presence has made matters complicated. You have attacked my retinue and destroyed my servitors, you even had the gall to sever my weapon arm. By Inquisitorial doctorate, it is within my authority to lay waste to this world, killing every living thing that resides here. But I am in a merciful mood. As payment for this attack, I will take your arm and whatever cybernetic enhancements your men may wear. I require that my servitors be replaced using the flesh of those of your team that do not possess bionic parts. That is my one and only offer. Choose well."

IC:

*Vantrava wasnt stupid. He recognized the figure was so very slowly pulling out something. He also knew that a inquisitor with special condition couldnt call for help. He took a chance. "No", he flattly said. The inquisitor looked at him the same as before. It started to click. Vantrava wasnt disarmed. He knew that it was laughter. He than realized the thing it held was a pistol. He dodged out of the way as 10 bullets wizzed into the dune behind him. The thing still laughing retreated after picking up its auto-cannon. Vantrava made to run after him but something caught his foot. He looked down and saw something he wished he hadnt.*


OOC:

Oh one more thing what chaos god do you worship. I need to know. Thanks.

The mighty scream of a jump-pack was heard as the black clad marine soared into the foray. the only colors being the red Xes that adorned his armor like warning signs to those that would look upon him.


"FEED ME!" he roared through his helm's vox. It's beaked shaped with that of the jump-pack made him look like a vengeful bird of prey.

"I THIRST! SATISFY ME!" He roared again as he began to let loose with bursts from his multimelta at anything that moved.

At this moment one could tell that "the red thirst" had taken over him and he had almost zero control of his actions. And like a bad movie it played and he watched from inside, his conciousness hiding away what was left of his humanity like shielding an infant from a storm.

OOC: Severus worships no god, but has no qualms about using dark magick and forbidden technology to complete his goals.

IC:

*Vantrava`s second in command, Corbec, heard the harsh roar from the space marine. He looked up and saw it as it came flying down on its jump-pack. Corbec signaled for his men to move up and supress the marine when he landed. The group of dragons that were there discussing plans also went into action. The marine landed and ran at Corbec who was the only one the beast saw. Corbec didnt flintch as the angel was tackled by two dragons and a group of guardsmen. The marine struggled. He kicked a guard off and he flew a ways. Then the marines were able to chain him together. Corbec frowned about the whole ordeal. He couldnt figure out why the colonel kept this marine. Corbec walked over to the vox. He was about to vox Vantrava when he felt a rumbling. Suddenly three malwoc`s flew up from the ground. Corbec instantly gave orders. Ten squads who were present about to be sent in support of a light engagement up at the front burst into action. Corbec watched as the beasts lashed at anything that moved. Corbec dived out of the way as a claw stuck into the ground where he just stood. Corbec fired his las-long. It blew the claw off. The malwoc roared and attacked corbec vicously. Larkson moved up with his platoon and fired apon the malwoc nearest them. He fired his las-gun on full auto. The thing roared. It was laughter probably because the las-guns did nothing to its armor. Larkson then pulled out his shotgun and ran at it. *Meanwhile* Vantrava saw a daemon. It was ugly. He recognized it as a bloodletter of khorne. The fiercest of the daemon spawned infantry. He shot it with his pistol, but it only enraged it more. The wound healed up as fast as it appeared. It lashed out with its greatsword and Vantrava used the rest of his reserves to kick it off before it landed the hit. He got up and ran back to his lines. The scouts already had started shooting the abominations. He holstered his pistol and pulled out his sniper. He shot the closest bloodletter through the head and it twisted and crunched until it was banished back to the immaterium. It took the group 2 minutes to finally kill the rest. Vantrava looked at the 10 causilties. He`d kill that rogue. He gut him out. Vantrava then ran in the direction that the inquisitor went.*

OOC:

K thanks for answering.

Veshuma's jump-pack ignited with a mighty burst; shoving him through his assailants allowing him to wrestle an arm free and get a hold on the chainsword that was still on his hip.
Around the same time that the roar of it's engine began so did the screams of it's victims; the monomolecular edges of the teeth shearing through flesh and armor with ease, severing life and limb around him.
From the dust arose the blackened figure, covered in mud and bathed in blood. He seemed calm, aware of his surroundings.

OOC: Ah jeez, I am sorry again for being gone for a while. I will try and post some time, even though I am quite busy now.

*Vantrava rides up to the camp and finds it a mess. Three Malwoc`s lie dead on the ground slowly burning. A pyre is also burning the dead guardsmen. He utters a prayer to the almighty emperor and walks to his cammand Leviathan. He notices that the starts to move the second he gets on. Good he thinks as he walks to the command center. Vul'taan is sitting there impatiently. He looks pent up. His helmet has a nice gouge in it. "Where`d you get that", Vantrava asks? "Your blood angel", he spat back. Vantrava had gotten the report that the blood angel had killed 5 and wounded 7. Among them was a space marine. He moved on to look at the command board. It didnt look good. A huge force had engeged Larkson`s regiment. He moved a few regiment markers up to the lines to support them and then went to go and get aboard a waiting bike to get to the front lines where he was needed most. Vantrava reached the front lines. It was bad. The tyrinid were piles several high and a big amount of guard were dead. Vantrava moved up to the line with his bolt pistol in hand and came across a straggle of 501st guardsmen. They saw him and instantly had renewed vigor. They started to burn the corpses of the tyrinids. He ordered all the squads on the line to do that. All along the line the bodies started to burn and turn to ash. Suddenly a huge wave of tyrinid flooded out of the swamps ahead, but was cut apart by a group of slime covered humanoids. The things withered under a torrent of las-fire. The wave broke off. Vantrava saw a huge creature (probabily a synapsas creature) retreating. He realized that the creature was smarter than the other tyrinid. The group in the swamp moved back to the lines. Vantrava spotted Larkson. The boy had aged in the week since they had frst met. Vantrava waved at the Lt. and Larkson approached. "Soldier, that was spectacular work. I see that you`ve takin to command. And that your commanders replenished your numbers", Vantrava said. Larkson nodded and replied,"Yes, Sir. I have a 39 man platoon now. And we`ve been holding off sice we got here, so i`ve got the hang of it now. "Good that means you`ll lead your troops to victory. Now go get some supplies and sleep", Vantrava responded. Larkson nodded and signaled for his squad to follow and they all left. He keyed his vox, "Kais i need tau to come and entrench themselves behind the main line. We need the firepower".*

OOC:

Alright templar just start rping you`ll enventualy meet up with Morduk. And thanks for joining.

IC:

Kais heard a voice coming up in his helmet's communications.

"Kais I need the Tau to come and entrench themselves behind the main line. We need the firepower."

"Of course, I#ll get as many Warriors as I can into the hammerheads to join you, allong with myself. Mont'yr will stay here with the rest to help guard the camp. He is being a little stubborn in regards to him as the Shas'O. He says I should be it. Anyway, we're going to head off now. Kais out."

They we're going to fight again. Well, this would mean more casualties for his forces, which he didn't like in the slightest. But, after this, soon, they may be able to leave this planet, as long as he can build up a strong communications, they might be able to contact some of his ships out in space. It would take time, but it would mean salvation for all of his warriors, and for the Humans.

*"Ok thank you Kais", Vantrava spread out his command chart and glanced at it. They had sustained little causulities. He was happy about that. He looked at his regiment lines and marveled at his major`s work. He also glanced at Larkson`s company. They were fairing good. They were slowly hunting down the tyrinid cells here and there. They were excelling now that they were in the swamps. Vantrava had requested them for that reason. He voxed Larkson to confirm the map, "Larkson come in is everything all right"? "SCRRRRRRRRRRRr........... No sir........ attacked by.......... the tyrinid are........... us. Requesting........... sir.", The com went dead.*

OOC:

Well i`m back from my trip so i`ll be posting alot more.

Mind if i add a pure evil character?

Name: Arkanus

Personality: An reasonable calm extremly skilled man who knows when to accept help or who its in his best interests to be "friends" with in order to survive.
Evil

He has brought with him a Razerback and 10 Chaos marines with varying gear
Ive got the small army cus im by myself, mostly.

Mind if i join?

Name:lord commissar Klimino Alexander
Wargear:carapace armor, power sword, melta gun
Story:a survivor of a chaos invasion on his home planet of heavinii, he was rescued and taken away by a group of whitchhunters when he was 5. it scared him badly but he learned to cope with it. he became a commissar at 18 because of his extreme no mercy attitude and hate for heretics. in battle,he lost his arms and his face got scarred by flames. they got replaced,of course.
Personality: "good" (has his own small agenda some would say might be heresy,others say its for the emperor)
appearance: kinda young. 24. scared(flames) face. bionic arms. normal height. a little on the skinny side. yellow brown "matrix" jacket (dont know what its called :/),normal commissar clothing otherwise except wears a yellow with dark blue trimming commanders hat.

I hate to say it but this is kinda dead...

........ i feel like it is too. but i could make it work with the new players. i'll play the other people who arent active anymore and let them die naturally through the progression of the rest of the story. (unless you come back then idk) but having new guys will allow a new story to appear from the ashes of the old. i'll end the current story for the old characters and start a new one for the new. so if you'd like to continue with me go ahead if not thats fine. but i thank you guys for providing a really fun time. i hope to rp with you guys soon.... ( or perhaps in the black library rp) anyways i'll end the rp's first group with a spectacular ending. but that'll have to wait.

Okay I would like to continue.

Ok then i`ll start it up this sunday. at 1pm eastern seaboard time or just give a more convient time and i might be able to match it

umm...ill be playing,dont know whens conveinent so whenever.

Ok sounds great!
My character isnt realy "evil" as most would view the term but more of "if its to my advantage ill do it" sorta thing but i still have a good sized veteran chaos marine force with me

Alrighty sorry about sunday. Had alot to do. But i`ll start it soon. Probably since you guys are mainly British i`ll start it at 2am tomorrow EST

Your friendly neighborhood "The Kaiser" is still in...

Alright. Thats good.

k. tomorrow at 2am since yyou seem to be on at that time when i check

Well i have limited time so heres the new story. After the tyrinid infestation, a large chaos fleets decides to land and assault the hive. Now i want everyone to intro yourself into that. I'll do mine later

Vantrava takes his chainsword out of the dead tyrinid. He calls his adjucant over. "Son i need you to vox that the hunt is complete", he says. The adjucant nods and starts relaying the message. A grim expression crosses his face. Vantrava`s adjucant looks at him. He says, "Sir there`s a massive fleet of chaos ships in orbit. They`ve defeated our space defences and are sending landing forces as we speak." Vantrava curses and nods. He rounds his men up and gets them back to the chimera. They role into the hive when the first of the chaos landers can be seen. The hive had already mobilized and rebuilt all the defences and had erected new ones. The hive walls were raised soon after he entered. They were massive. 20 yards thick and about 300 tall. Vantrava marveled at them. He wished they`d been able to use against the tyrinids, but the machine that raises them was jammed by the tyrinid genestealers. Smart little insects. Vantrava snorted. The chimera pulled up to hive tower center. He was hauled up to the command center there. The generals and other ranking officers were fighting. Vantrava sat down.

(Am I still with you yeroc?)

as klimino drives along in the chimera,he almost face plants when it comes to a sudden stop."what the hell? keep going,we cant afford to stay still!" he looks out the hatch to see the carnefex running at them.ever scince they broke the hive minds connection,they were being hit by the straglers."l-lord commissar sir...chaos ships...." what?" he turns and opens up the top hatch and looks up and plain as day he sees one in low orbit."damn." he turns,aims his melta gun,and fires a hole in the carnefexes head."ok,keep goin to the hive city,hope we can find someone there." "yesir" they hit the road,heading for the main gate because it is opened.

Idk do you want to be

Arkanus slid his sword into the base of the carnafexes skull he felt the ovegrown bug grow limp and die. stepping down from atop its dead body he shouted "Brothers, take the bunker!" he then saw chaos landing ships on the horizan. (James would never perform a full scale invasion without forwarning me) thought Arkanus "they are not ours" he stated flatly over the squads vox channel. "lord Arkanus what of the prisoners, kill them i assume?" asked one of the marines exitment in his voice. "no we will keep them as sacrafices to summon deamons when we do battle with our brothers" replyed arkanus. when they reached the bunker and had slain the few gaurds posted within they set up a closed relay comm with The BloodFiend (a huge space hulk hidden in asteroid field). they recieved orders that they were to secure a homing beacon in order to recieve reinforcments and to stay as low profile as possable.
