Interesting to see the characters come to life as it were isn't it Vik?

yep since you make your written charcters into physical forms that is quite a nice thing! helps the imagination quite a lot!

g`n8 my friend!

G'nite, and dream of green eyed sexy redheads wielding power swords!

Nice work!
I love how you post each segment, so we can take a look and tweak it if necessary...nice work, and I like the whole "pet psyker" thing...is he gonna be blind and hunched over?
and the inquisitor in training sounds (and looks) really good...will be lookling forward to more!

It will depend on the mini I find for the psyker, I have none at the moment. Oh Valentina will be doing more than just standing around.

too bad i had no dreams about jade green eyed redheaded swordslashing and butt kicking ironclad maidens...well to my excuse i have a sore throat since monday and my sleep is mostly interrupted by my wife when i snore to loudly^^ so no REM phese for me^^

Sorry your sick Vik. Maybe once you get over it, the REM sleep will allow you that fun bit!^^

^ fingers crossed

thanks my friends^^

On board the Valkyrie, the "Violators" discovered plenty of ammo for their rifles, and the same for Sgt. Vasily's Hell-pistol. Fresh water canteens and carapace repair kits for their armor, and even Melta charges. "Looks like your buddy in the shiny armor made good on his promise." Rat said as he replaced his low charge pack for his melta and screwed in a fresh one.

Vasily nodded. "He always does" he replied with a smile as there was a fresh bottle of vodka as well in the supply cabinet, "For good or bad." he finished.

They also found the grav-chutes packs and donned them. "A little tight around the middle" noted Ogre as he struggled to clasp the mid-riff harness together, and was satisfied once the hasp "clicked" into the locked mode.

Sgt. Vasily then said "Alright,m listen up! we are after anything odd, if so, the Inspector General wishes to check it out before we send it to whatever hell-hole it came from, Also the capture or execution of any officers like that Major, or their beloved Colonel if he dares show his face on this planet!" to which the squad cheered. "You new guys need to hold your weight, fight and no one carries you!, chicken out or run and I will kill you myself, understood?" Both men nodded solemnly in agreement. "Fight well and you get to drink with the rest of us." That perked up at least the one named

Traeger grinned broadly, "I will provide plenty of dead heretics then!" he said with a thick Kruegerian accent. Vochenko checked his blade, "I like to scout ahead and do some silent work if you allow me Sarge." he added in a quiet voice, "I used to do tunnel work for the Caskrainean Rangers." That explained a lot about the man's haunted look, Vasily nodded, "Keep that blade sharp then soldier." he said in respect, the Rangers were well noted in the Konfederation for their odd jobs as well. Mostly covert missions where they slipped silently in, did what they were to do, and slip out again before they were noticed.

He would one day ask how Mikhail had gotten one for this mission. For now, they all prepared for the drop. The Stormtroopers were to provide a secondary distraction as they would drop in a different zone first, do what they could to disrupt the enemy, and allow Mikhail's group and the Violators to drop where they needed to.


Lt. Troucescau was livid, the enemy dared to spring a second surprise on his planned attack! But as he was upset, he was also ready to spring his own surprise. "Lascannon teams, I want those tanks taken out, Bring them down!" was his order. To the platoons, he ordered to t1st platoon, I want you to deal with the infantry, these look alive and warm, Fire Drill Alpha." to which the first rank lay on their bellies, the second rank knelt, and the third rank stood, and fired volley after volley into the enemy platoon.

The LT.'s commands were met with two tanks exploding, another immobilized and the enemy platoon sheared down, but then the enemy was re-inforcing the battle zone with more troops and armored vehicles. The sentinels were hunting and being hunted by their opposite numbers as the battle raged.

One enemy platoon got too close and Kommissar Zvedvedov gave the order as she thumbed the control stud on her sword, "Charge! Make the Konfederacy and the Emperor proud!" This was helped by Father Orlov bellowing above the din, "Whoever kills the most will sit closer tot he Emperor, and I will make sure there will be extra vodka for the man who kills their leader!" as his eviscerator screamed through the air.

1st platoon crashed into the enemy like an avalanche, the sound of armor and weapons colliding with the two groups was heard by all, the bayonets and rifle butts of both platoons ringing and clashing, Father Orlov cut many men down with a satisfying swing. Zvedvedov snarled but here fury was that of a winter storm on Khadrovia Prime, here eyes gave a look that made the enemy soldiers before her falter. The Icy hate transfixing them as her power sword severed arms and heads. The savage fury of the charge caused the enemy to route, and they were cut down as 1st platoon gave chase. "Get into cover" she shouted as she spotted the enemy chimeras advancing, guns chattering away, several men and women of the platoon were down by now.

Overhead the Valkyries opened their ramps and the Spetznats dropped. As they arrived, they landed to the enemy rear and flank, most hurling grenades and the Special Weapon holders firing whatever they needed to for their jobs, Melta, plasma and flamers burned their ways through their selected targets. Now the enemy committed it's final reserves to deal with the new threat to the base.

Once this happened Mikhail gave the signal and his retinue and Vasily's group along with a Spetznats team dropped and took the main building roof silently. They took off the grav rigs and went for the roof entrance hatch. Once inside, they carefully crept in to the lower sections floor by floor, just to make sure the enemy was not behind them as they went to the sub levels, Vochenko and some of the Spetz' used their mono-knives to eliminate sentries silently.

Vasily asked Mikhail, "Where next?" to which Mikhail replied, "why down to the sub-levels and any caverns of course."

As they went down, the Spetznats outside and the Company fought the enemy.

i have to tell you this would be a truly epic battle to fight on a special table...i can imagine these tunnels and ways carved from foamcore and juust wide enough for about two chimeras to drive beside each other...this would be soo cool^^

great read... also i like how you began to portray the two new vets that joined vasily´s group. the tunnelfighter vonchenko i particulary like. i saw that movie "cold mountain" and in the begininning they show the tunnel fights and sappeurs of the american civil war...that sends still shivers down my spine... you need a special frame of mind for this kind of slow and silent killing... it is so close as clase cobat can ultimatly get...

All of the combat would indeed be a wild terrain table with the rocks and town buildings, and then the secondary table for inside the sublevel of the base with corridors for just people.

Glad I still have that old appeal going with the story!^^
Ah, I was more basing Vochenko from a more modern setting the one man from Uncommon Valor, there, he was a haunted man for that kind of fighting. But essentially, yes, a man who has been in too many fights yet lived through them to continue on doing it again.

Traeger is more a head-thumper kind of soldier.

so traeger is someone that will fit easy with the bunch of otherwise misfits warriors^^...

this special form of killing a man so close to him is really seldom found in man...i refer to the deep remorese feeling the soldier has in the movie "All Quiet on the Western Front" where he kills a french man with his bajonette and he has to see the man die and hear his screams.... normaly a human being would shy away for doing that... i have read that many soldiers even looked away of closed their eyes before pulling the triggers...because we really don´t want to provide death to others...yet it seems we are as a race capable to commit great atrocities to our next of kin.... it is a rather disturbing mixture of emotions and consciences in humankind...


and of course you have it in you! now let out even more of it...

Yep, Traeger will fit in well as long as he lives.

Vochenko is used tot he killing by now, but he is still one to mark each of his foes as he remembers each fight, he dies inside a little each time, but is kept aloft due to his faith that he does this for his God Emperor and that he will sit next to Him one day.

More will be on the way.

Time and again, you continue to deliver. Nice work!
