B) While the tyranids leave harassment units within the base, rippers, lictors, genestealers... it seems like the rest of the force breaks off. What is left of the devourer's forces serve mostly to sow fear and confusion inside the base and disrupt artillery batteries. Multiple encounters with imperial forces have given the Tyranids valuable experience on the function of the Guard. To disrupt their firing platforms is a boon to the advancing hordes. The Murderfex however takes his forces elsewhere, knowing that a frontal assault on that area would come at too great a loss and possibly defeat!

IG: Now that the Tyranids have stopped laying siege, you have one free option. Note that there are still xeno forces within your camp.

B Kais still had a job to do, to scout the area for and large infastructures or any buildings, basically anything of interest.
He ordered his men to keep on going, and they walked away anxiously, further into the grassland...

(Wait do you mean TYR free move?
I'm assuming you mean IG's move!
I thought i have been posting consistently enough!
I'm just gonna hold off until you give me a selection)

"Any one help please?
we are being over run with tyranids if there are any space marines out there helpus please!
that is all."

Oops, sorry, forgot to put the IG part. Fixed it. The Tyranids have laid off their base, it seems they might pursue a different target.
Options:
A: Return to base, the biomass of this jungle-planet is quite enjoyable.
B: Continue moving in the direction of your choosing.
C: Use your obtained scents of targets to track them down. (Please specify)

You make it to a small clearing, everything is silent. Until, you hear primal screams and roars. Opposite from your side, a group of feral Orks burst through the brush, behind them a large screamer-killer(Carnifex with a bio-plasma cannon) is in pursuit.
Options:
A: Slip away with your stealthsuits
B: Attack from afar.
C Stay put and observe what happens.

There is Tyranid involvment, all TYR players, you have a free option for the Carnifex.
ORKS! There is a confirmed presence of the green-skin tide on Rak'noll. Free player slot for ORKS!

That said, the Ultramarines have yet to reply.
The IG base is in chaos, Lictors and Genestealers kill off many guardsmen during the night. Explosions erupt from the tank bays now and then.
Many are killed in action, and the ranks of the men are constantly thinned.
Options:
A: Continue the hunt for the remaining xenos.
B: Abandon the fortress, burn it to the ground.
C: Proceed with normal operations.

B)
The murderfex tromps through the jungle and is met with an unexpected set of combatants that have hidden themselves in the underbrush! The spearhead of carnifex he was leading is ambushed by a pack of feral greenskins! The murderfex is swarmed with choppas and squigs, they hack at it's torso and nip at it's legs. 'Fex vents its bioplasma and whips about, scattering it's assailants. sweeping its massive talons through their ranks, it manages to cause enough casualties for them to fall back into the jungle. the murderfex tries to follow them, but they spring a trap behind them and the murderfex is slammed hard by a suspended tree. it collects itself an presses onward, only to hit another pitfall trap! Unfortunately this was the empty type used to trap and collect slaves so negligible damage is caused and 'Fex pulls itself out using it's flesh hooks. This resistance was unexpected, and seems rather.. Kunnin'?

Well written! Looks like I don't have to write another scenario thanks to you.
Options:
A: Pursue the rest of the greenskins.
B: You hear other Orks and screams of one of your own. Come to the aid of one of your Carnifexes.
C: Lumber away in another direction of your choosing.

I'll be AFK for a while, I'm busy making my Traitor Guardsmen.

B)
The orks have literally swamped one of the carnifexes that went ahead. It's roars and thrashing alert the Murderfex, who stomps through the brush to reach it. There are orks all over it, hanging off it's spiked carapace and hacking at it's bovinely-shaped underside. The murderfex fires it's flesh hooks onto the carapace of the carnifex, pulling the beast down with the carapace facing towards it. This measure leaves several greenskins crushed under it's massive weight.Pulling it's hooks back, it charges and fires it's bio plasma again.. but having used it fairly recently, the fire sputters and sprays like grenade frag. Fairly harmless to the thick carapace of the carnifex, but scathing and lethal to the lightly armoured greenskins. he charges towards the carnage, as the fallen beast regains it's composure. Together they slaughter the remainder of the assailants, too battle hungry to retreat from the certain death that awaits them. The murderfex calls out and keeps tighter ranks among the carnifexes as they traverse the jungle. They had already inflicted considerable damage on it's cohort, and even the murderfex had a score of wounds. As it's genetic structure re-knit itself, the Murderfex slowed it's pace through the foliage, knowing that more traps or greenskins were hidden.

Options:
A: Go on through the clearing where you battled the feral Orks.
B: Continue on your chosen path.

To the Tau, the battle took place without none of the other xenos noticing you.
Options:
A: Follow the massive Tyrant that just made its way through the brush.
B: Follow the trail of the straggler feral Orks.
C: Continue on your patrol in another direction.

(just as a note, The Murderfex Is a carnifex, not a tyrant. I just drew a lot of influence from the 5th edition Old one eyes' leadership characterstics & Visual elements from the oldschool screamer-killer carnifex)
A)
The murderfex and it's cohorts start to pass through the clearing where the previous battle had taken place. They pace forward cautiously, sometimes testing the ground for traps or pits. The clearing seems relatively devoid of obstruction however, so the Tyranids advance unabated for the moment. The gun-mounted carnifex's enhanced senses seem to be triggered by something in the distance. The murderfex pays no heed to this, certain it's just more ambushers. They will taste death if they show their faces, so their presence is of no concern.

TYR:
We're gonna have to pause here until Kais comes back as he is heavily involved in what will happen next. :(

TAU:
The Tyranids have suddenly returned to the clearing. They are are in firing range and your warriors await your instructions.
Options:
A: Open fire from where you are.
B: Using stealth suits, outflank them at a closer range.
C: Flee.

whole army stickis in a convoy with sentinels scouting a head staying withing constant radio contact

While Romulus recovers from his attempted telepathic assault he hears chatter over his astartes comms link and promtly replies to (vulkan) "request for assistance confirmed on my way, out" powering the teleporter he makes a quick hop locking onto the signature of the convoy

The surviving Imperial Guard march together, in a long narrowing line, their souls and hearts broken. The rain and thunder beats down on them and the jungle constantly opposes them. They reach a river in the middle of the great jungle, and there they are stopped by a crackle of lightning and a clash of thunder. Behold, what appeared before them was an Angel of Death, a Defender of Humanity; a Space Marine. With the fire re-lit in their eyes, they welcomed the warrior of the Space Wolves chapter, ready for the coming battles ahead.

Feel free to discuss with one another what you guys will do with your free option.

So sorry man, it's not really up to me to choose. It looked like there were only four of us left active anyway, the rest I guess are on unexplained hiatus.

no worries man, I just had a temporary ragegasm
it'll subside. In the meantime

Did you forget that im back today?
Hi everybody.
I will now be resuming my role as GM.

The apperance of the sm restores the moral of the remaining guards. they look up at him in awe. Behind you you hear the massave explodion of your base selfdistructing.

We are waiting for Martas reply. the forces of the IoM have a free action.

Nids:
The old IoM base is filled with your forces. then it explodes.
Almost all the nids inside are killed. the lucky few are vaporised instantly.
The murderfix is saved by the inpromtue intereance of orks.
Evaelc is caught in the blast however and suffers greatly. one of your left limbs are torn off and he is convenantly still outside the bases ramparts.

Evaelc: you can...
a) Ignore you missing limb and charge into the IoM base.
b) limp away back towards your base
c) something else.

C "Hold up, let them fight, once one of them is out of the fray, we will strike the remaining enemy. It will be much easier than taking both of them on, even from afar."

you continue to observe the fighting between the random orks and nids. you take extra notice to the wind direction so to no let them smell you.
you can:

A. just sit and watch
B. get board, sit and watch
C. give up sitting and watching as the two hordes meet in a very long confrontation and just charge in.
D. other

The Murderfex senses the loss of the harassment forces. It seems that the base was detonated, resulting in the loss of the genestealers, rippers, and lictor. Such casualties had been expected to occur as the Imperials tried to maintain their stronghold, but it's abandonment is quite advantageous for the hive mind! Murderfex was much too far away to be in the blast radius, but now the skirmishes with the greenskins add an unforeseen challenge! There are only three other carnifexes with it, and none of them have gone without a modicum of damage.
(since the 'Fex and HT split at the chaos base, i don't see how he was involved in the explosion.. except as punishment for not being around.. lol. Anyways yeah that's kind unfair to him esp. since i was off doing my own thing with a relatively small amount of forces)

(sorry just broke up with my gf and have bin pretty cut up, back now and into it )

(ic) ->Vulkan: "My name is Romulus Greythroat i heard your request for assistance and have come to aid you, all of the Emperors followers are my friends, i am best in close combat and would take up a vanguard postition in this convoy if you would allow it"

Ebvaelc asks what the hell would i still be doing around the base and why would i be there so i pick c) after brooding over his horrifying defeat. He is conscience of the events that are happening around but oblivous except for his occasional movement. His time would come for now his force would grow and soon the project would be finished...
In the meantime these petty events could wait.

I tell my squad to attack them with long range weapons, so basically snipe them with rail rifles.
