So when will we be in combat?

Loading will being at 0900 tommorow morning, to be finished by 1200, we will then be on transit for 4 days, unload by 0900 on that day (tuesday by terra calendar) we will then be straight off to the struggling front to fight the tyranid horde. it will be a baptism of fire.

Tyranids....clitter hoard of teeth and claws huh? They burn pretty good when you splash them with a little promethium and fire . A general tactic for Tyranid engagement protocol is to use terrain as cover and to our advantages!As ancient general on Holy Terra once said "we'll fight in the shade!"

i have heard such a story, surely a myth- that was about 40,000 years ago... but yes, it may not be tyranids we are unsure. it will be a case of hang back and shoot i feel.

I feel that the current tactic will ensure us a victory with minimal causualities.

Commander Seric: Then it is a good thing that the Emperor's Honour will be deployed, and not those other lunatics who want to run over anything that moves. We will stay at a reasonable distance and blast the zeno scum to hell!

Pvt. Rusher Garm, reporting for frontline duty, sir! (Anywhere where the fight's the thickest please )*

Edit: *I see 1st Squad Alpha is open, if that's cool with you

it is useful to have charging russes too, they arn't blessed with the range that you are. arkanians executionr should do well too, 5 plasma blasts every salvo.

Private John Lucifer, regimental number 117, orphan, faced with joing the 222nd or death.

if that is ok with you.

Welcome trooper lucifer, you're not an orphan anymore, the 222nd are your family, your lasgun your child and the emperor your father. welcome to the 222nd i'm afraid howevr you have to prove yourself to become a veteran

Cheers, lets hope I dont die to quick, as a thank you, I will steal your idea and name my sniper larkin ( not because of the ghosts )

We ar'nt being deployed. :O!!!!!! ......................sir

all tanks will be deployed else it's too circumstantial and dependent on who you are fighting

Do you have space for a Junior Tank Commissar?
Daedalus reporting for that 'honour'
*gulp* Catachans...

Vanquisher 'Tank Sniper' Gunner Lorence

Private Jelly

I'm afraid our tanks are at capacity, but i will put private jelly in alpha platoon

Lord Commissar Checking in. Marshal, would you mind if i de-brief the troops? On what i had been briefed on early. I assure you all it will be brief. The briefing that is. Brief.

Of course Lord Commissar, put it in the regimental report.

! Alright trooper. I warned you before. One. More. Chance. Or i pull you from your position and into the penal legion it is.

And thank You Marshal. We will be deployed for our first combat mission sometime early next week(Monday from what the Marshal has told me) and we will be fighting nids....

We should expect heavy numbers of troops and possibly heavy casualties. But know this men. We are soldiers of the Imperium of Man, and we will hold the line against the xeno filth.

Varrick-Platoon Gamma; any squad and number my only request is to be Vox operator if available.

welcome to gamma platoon varrick

131-Ovr. Purple-I don't think he was doing anything this time just taking pride in his tank's name... not that i wouldn't appreciate the company in the suicide squad.
