Marduk cursed the damn tau. His powers could probably work on a few people but not the whole crowd. "Kol get the stormravens and the vehicles read", Marduk voxed. "Yes Dark Apostle", Kol-Badar replied, as the stormravens take off and land next to Marduk and Kol-Badar. They board the stormravens as the vehicles pull up and gather the troops. No one noticed because they all were to inticed by the tau. Stupid bastard Marduk thought, as his army rolled out of the convention center. They all headed towards some car, and Marduk had a chirmogen undo the lock on the trunk. They all loaded up into the trunk. Then Marduk moved his troops up to the front. Marduk then used his psychic powers to start the car and had his men man the pedals and the wheel. They were able to and they pulled out of the parking space. Then they took off towards the house. Kol-Badar had his navigator bring them back to the house. They had attempted to follow the speed limits and only just managed. They made it back to the house and unloaded. The car was parked at a wierd angle and Marduk didnt know how Mark was going to explain the new car, but he didnt care. They moved into their base minutes later.

Damn ninja`d. Crap never mind my post.

sorry man.

will try to announce when eventing

Its fine. Actually I`ll make it someone elses car, so I dont have to write another story up. That took me a while to come up with.

There edited.

(the tanith are already there probably...hell they might have wrecked it already. I am leaving it up to WARORK)

OC: Hey he hasnt posted therefore I have either gotten there when he is commencing or right before he attacks.

I call shenanigans on that, I've been trying to come up with a decent post for a while (I've been typing for a while and my power went off before I could finish...) and then you come in and just say that you're back, now this is the finale until we get to the new house so just hold on....

yeah. WARORK gets to do at least some damage before you arrive. (dont worry you all get to pick your rooms in the new one. they will have pics showen)

Edit: Darn these tabs...

And so the combined forces of the Tanith and the Kriegsguard set out, but they were not alone in this. A coalition pact had been made between the guard and the allied forces, in a meeting, they all determined that while the titans were gone, it was the perfect time to dispatch the scheming heretics that were obviously planning something. The companies of the Tanith and the Kriegers set out in the Valkyrie gunships which were escorted by a Vulture. They were supported by a few Chinooks which held anybody the Valkyries couldn't fit and those were escorted by an AH-64 Apache.

And so the air armada made its way through the huge chambers of the hive, but as they passed a transparent barrier that separated the outside wastes from the inside, Mkarth saw something that made him order the flight land short of their objective. He saw figures in yellow armor, busily trying to break through the walls of the hive in very crude manners. Mkarth had the Valkyrie blast a big enough hole through the barrier at ground level for the figures to come back into the hive.

"WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING WITH ALL THAT AIR POWER?!?!?" The leader asked loudly.

"Going to kill us some heretics boyo! Care to join us, or are you too busy killing bricks?" Mkarth shot.

"F*** THAT! THOSE BIG S*** TITANS SAID NO!" The leader came back.

"Any ideas on how we can convince these guys?" Mkarth asked

"Lemme handle em, sir." Feygor said rather haughtily. He leaned out of the Valkyrie and yelled in his most mocking tone. "Hey Yellow Jackets! Those heretics just wanted us to tell you they like the way your primarch wears pink power armor!"

"F****** WHAT?!?!?!" Came the reply, followed by all the marines shouting and storming off towards the garage. Feygor gave a thumbs up to Mkarth.

"Works every time." He said with a grin. Mkarth signaled for the air fleet to move outside.

"We're not following them sir?" Doyl asked.

"We'll meet em in the middle, we got some other stuff to do first." Mkarth said. The first stop was the Krieg trenches where the bodies were left where they lay. A pit was dug and the bodies placed inside, not before being stripped of all gear and placed in bags. There was a short moment of silence accompanied by the pipes of Milo and then from the sky the Valkyries and the gunships purged the former Krieg base of where the orks had set up their camp. All the orky machines of war that were not taken with them with the titans were blown up. Reports were that some of the orks had taken shelter in the jungle too so that was purged with fire as well. Outside was also found where the heretics had begun making tunnels not unlike the Kriegers had been. Teams equipped with explosives went down and were attacked by daemons which took heavy casualties, luckily for the guard, the Tanith and Kriegers had a large amount of flamers and eventually the tunnels were purged, the Hades drill was found and hauled out of the tunnels. This took a while the daemons that filled the tunnels were hard to push through but it was eventually done.

"Easy when they're not around." Mkarth grinned.

The assembled group eventually made it into the garage where they found the Angry Marines absolutely tearing up the place and in mortal combat with the daemonic forces. Mkarth and the junior Krieg officer looked at each other, shrugged, and charged in with bayonets fixed and guns blazing, their men behind them. Explosions flared, walls came crumbling down, all manners of vehicles were blown up. The guard forces managed to retrieve many vehicles taken by the heretics from the kriegers and most notably a single Tau tank which had been looted as well. They used the gunships to haul the loot away. The battle pitched and raged and the chaos forces were eventually driven back to their giant construct, it appeared to the guard to be a giant tank or siege engine, there was no way they could let it be used. Their fire was ineffectual however, as the thing was massively armored.

"We have to get through that thing's armor!" Mkarth yelled. The junior Krieg officer was already on it, he boarded the Hades drill and led a charge into the siege engine's flank. The drill cut through it and burrowed in, followed by the remaining kriegers. While all this was happening, guard specialists were setting up charges all over the garage.

"Today we wipe this foul treachery from this hive!" Mkarth yelled as the other guardsmen cheered him on. The Tanith fought their way out of the garage and back to their transports just as a car filled with chaos marines pulled up in the driveway. The Tanith laughed and jeered as they flew away back into the house...

And then the garage exploded...

Plumes of fire shot out from tons of explosives and the entire construct came tumbling down in a great heap, burying the chaos base, the kriegers, and the Angry Marines with it.

"FIRST AND ONLY!!!" Was the cheer as the Tanith landed back at the allied encampment and the celebrations began. Mkarth watched from afar as his men shared drinks with pilots and other soldiers, he smiled and sighed holding up the cap that he had picked up, it had belonged to the junior Krieg officer who he'd never gotten a name from and who'd taken on the siege construct with the drill. Mkarth smiled and set the cap high up on a cliff face on top of a lasgun wichi had its bayonet stuck into the ground. Mkarth saluted the memorial and marched away...

I want my tank. I could give a flying gak, what room I get. I want my tank to be intact.

Marduk wont like this one bit

EVENT COMING UP

Probably not, neither will Mark....

the event is going up soon

(mark did not like that WAR. how do you feel about being locked in a trunk in your underpants until we get to nepal?)

Is that what you're gonna do? -shrugs- its better than being crushed...

I call OP. Daemons not only have invulnerable saves, but hack and slash imperial guard up, and my greater daemons would truly do huge damage. And even marines are hard pressed at close range. Plus Darioq isnt stupid. Neither is Kol-Badar. There are traps, and a central tunnel destruction system. I dont know why you guys are attacking me, and plus the whole event would have taken over eight hours, with all of what you said. I mean the ork forces would have been about an hour, the tunnel action would be another three-four hours, plus stripping the bodies another hour, the getting the drill out another 30 and transportation another 30, oh and dont forget the huge whole for the dead another 30. The whole thing would have been only half way though the whole thing when Marduk got back. From the time I used from references, would have been at least 5 hours. So I call gak. And the tank itself had weapons on it too.

I half support yerocs call

the orks will be fine

and your forces are going to half to be halved, War, the battle was costly.

(yeroc. you would have lost the base anyways we are moving. dont worry, you can get first pick of a nw base)

EVENT

Half of his house was in ruins and he tanith were dragged out from somewhere. The angry marines had been found saying “WHEN WE FIND THOES GUARD F***ERS, WE’L RIP THEM APART!”

The HAZMAT team had been called and the tanith were bolted away in a massive trunk. With all their gear confiscated down to their pants. Mark was living an a rented RV for the time being and would be moving to his parents house in Nepal, where they no longer were, having moved out but kept the house.
Mark was furious, the chaos marines were even more so. They had destroyed every valkiry that the tanith owned, and a newly bought forgeworld warhound had to be bought to cull them. The orks were upset over losing a percent of their forces, and the Tau were mad that their base had collapsed

as a pity call. Mark had bought sevral sets of CSM and was waiting to paint them until when he got to nepal

They were boarding a Korean air flight tomorrow…

Oh hush why don't you? The only invulnerable saves we're playing here are in Mark's tourney otherwise we're going by fluff...Your greater dameons I hope would be with you and I hope that you'd also have a lot of your other daemons with you as part of your army...

Most of your army was gone, be happy I put what I did because I was planning on going through the whole thing unscathed before...You don't know why guard are attacking chaos? Hmmm, that takes a while to figure out...the event would not have taken eight hours, the Valkyries could probably make it from one part of the house to the other within a minute or so, coupled with the fact that we have somewhere around 220 men working together with air assets (150 Tanith and 70 Kriegers) I think the time from when you left to when you got back was completely justified and probably didn't take much more than two hours besides it was a frakkin 40k tourney, how long do those usually take?

I call shenanigans on your shenanigans...

(you missed some stuff WARORK...)

so I rest my point.


but war. you lost about 60 men.

Yeah, all of them Kriegsmen that nobody bothered to kill until I did...

Valkyries weren't mine either... -shrugs-

OK...maybe...15 tanith dead cuz I expect that they were at the rear. but the daemons can pop up anywhere

everyone seen the event?


please post airport-inside-luggage RPS

commanders are in marks bag and can talk to him or wander around the seat (if they want to get in trouble)

ineptus astartes wrote:OK...maybe...15 tanith dead cuz I expect that they were at the rear. but the daemons can pop up anywhere

I can live with that, once we get to the new house looks like the Tanith are making a stop at the Bitz box!

Kiku sat resting in Mark's jacket pocket after watching the carnage at the Games Workshop Tournament. She lies there staring up out of the open pocket, tired of avoiding sight she waits, singing lightly to herself.

The scenery changes while she watches out of the open pocket and she desided to pop her head up out of the pocket to take a look around.

(sorry it's short but not quite sure where we currently are)

vio slip out of the box and hoped up onto the window sil. "wow...hey color giver,i didnt know your world was so...big... and this ship,its....huge....can i have one?" turning and giving mark the "puppy dog eyes...well the best a tau can give that is.

Thats fine by me. My tank will now be fixed with the warhound titan. Anyhoo

IC: Marduk smiled, despite boarding a flight tomorrow Mark had allowed the CSM to continue work. The tank was being repaired where the drill had dug into its thick armor. The main cannon was also under construction. Two plasma blastcannon were being fused together for it. They would become a twin linked one when they were done. The tank looked a bit odd were the back was because the warhound armor had to be cut up, but it would do. They also had to salvage the three land raiders and ten rhinos lost. They were also being used to fix the tank. The interior was big enough to hold a all four land raiders along with the eight remaining rhinos. Marduk smiled, despite losing almost all the daemons, and half the vehicles and one of the stormravens the tank was intact. That was acceptable.

Later the next day.

Marduk grumbled as he sat in his case. The tank was in a seperate box. He was goin to have to check it imediatly when they arrive.

alright all we are at the terminal now!

Marduk wakes up from his induced sleep. He looks though the camera feed out into the world. Its full of all these people who are tan, have wierd eyes, and are eldar slim. Marduk spits a few curses, damn the eldar were here and they were giant. Damn he thought. More threats to worry about.

so we are about to leave the states (korean air. from there we head to Kathmandu)
