"Not sure who we're all fighting, but we Zerg are always up for a good battle."

*Many Zerg creatures begin swarming in from everywhere and begin to converge on the unknown enemies*

"ZERG RUSH!!!"

OOC PROBE SPAM INCOMING!

*atepa out tank sleepily *

Oh, zerg invasion.... What a way to start the morning, avatar room at its best. *blasts several zerg on path to kitchen *
Ok quick drink...

*heads over to help repel the zerg*
Anyone need some help, got a few slightly drunk space wolves willing to help with me. Say they want fresh steak.


Oh varden, not all schola are like his, mine and wk,s was run on far different system with just sperates class and job roles, training etc for each. We went to same schola, same dorm wing in fact.

The ones he went to must be the puritan one, there even tougher than the norm, but produce some of the best, if not lacking in any emotional development.

*joins fight vs zerg*

Searing cracks of interdimensional energy burst into reality ahead of Jhe, the arcs intensify as the centre of a new webway portal achieves actuality; a Solitaire of the Twisted Path strides into the room… (all nearby psykers wet themselves a little)

Casting a glace back at Jhe, “The laughing god's faithful have arrived and I come to dance the dance of death."

Leaping ahead with impossible speed and grace the solitaire begins tearing the onrushing horde apart (Blitz mode activates)

*nods* ok same old, we do not harm you, you not harm us, the old agreement long as we have first ever met 10,000 years ago.

*goes back to fighting*

Amidst the carnage the Solitaire looks back at Jhe and the gaggle of drunken Space Wolves, cocking his head to one side out curiosity he idly dodges a pair of scything talons before plucking out a beast's internal organs with a harlequin's caress...

Where do you want me?

[Cheerfully oblivious to the double entendre] Lead these two squads and show them how to aim at hordes. Hopefully they may hit something with someone competent in the lead. [Nods toward group of nervous guard]

[Starts setting up two converging firing points to keep the horde away from the main entrance]

What exactly are we fighting? My sensors are not picking anything up.
*Draws a ornate white-jacketed laspistol*

* As Verviedi draws his pisol several Mawlocs errupt from the Guard lines, showering the immediate area in severed limbs, blood and bile


OOC: Editted for continuity Zerg and friends vs Nids makes more sense than zerg vs zerg right?

You're kidding me. We escaped Exterminatus only to land on fething Verdekii? I'm pretty sure the universe hates me. Or us.
*Begins firing into the Mawlocs*

* The skies begin to darken as spore pods begin crashing down, unleashing scythe-limbed monstrosities across the battlefield as Imperial AA units begin to spit flakk out at great devourer. As the Imperials and Zerg face off against the new enemy several lictor make their way towards the party/Avatars...

[automated sentry guns on the barracks begin scything down the lictors]
[walks out of the barracks yawning]
I leave you guys alone for a few hours and you get yourselves invaded by Tyranids? Typical

Hey i was sleeping.... Thinking then wake up to this.... Normal day in the avatar room to be honest.


*space wolves directs long fangs to fire on new targets *

*happily waves to wk and points to incoming flankers on turrets*

[spins around and barks an order]
[auto turrets pivot to engage the flankers and scythe them down]
FOR THE EMPEROR! SHOW THEM NO MERCY!
[begin to faintly glow gold]

* Noticing the door of the barracks opening, a lictor launches itself at WK before being intercepted by a couple of Zerglings in mid-air, the trio of bioconstructs land hard next to WK as Warp Lance fire tear into the building...

[Steps out onto stacked barriers with bale eye burning brightly] This, this is how to spend the day.
[Draws power sword and readies Storm bolter] [Drops down gleefully and vanishes into horde of tyranids]
[Explosions, laughter and alien screeching heard from vanishing point]

[A widening empty circle forms around Yarrick until he's stood alone grinning and covered in 'nid gore] It's like Emperor's Day all over again!

[barks another order]
[several Leman Russes drive forward and unleash battle cannon fire on the Zoanthropes, killing them all]

*The gaunts scatter away from BC, allowing a hive tyrant to land, shaking the ground from the impact... the behemoth swings a giant claw at the commissar’s head

*directs heavy weapons fire against carnifax brood incoming doing heavy damage to attacker*

Least this lot can die.

[Throws self to one side to the ground, and avoids being crushed] Okay. Less like Emperor's Day, more like Valentines Day. [Shrugs]
[Rolls and sprints past the huge claws and aims for some uncomfortably soft looking parts on the monster, firing bale eye laser into the dark underneath] At the very least I'm going to make it too sore to sit on me.

The Leman Russ tanks utterly destroy the psykic creatures before unleashing HE Shells into the ever swelling ranks of bioconstructs, the sky grows darker and airborne spores drop visibility to a mere few meters...

...ever increasing roars can be heard from all sides...

[sees the Hive Tyrant]
FIRE ON MY TARGET!
[designates Hive Tyrant as the primary target]
FIRE FOR EFFECT! YOU MAY WANT TO DUCK COMMISSAR!
[Leman Russes turn and open fire on the Hive Tyrant with their Battle Cannons, punching it off it's feet]

* BC's position is saturated with battle cannon fire, as the tyranid creature takes a HE shell, tearing the creatures torso apart... between the fire, smoke and spores you completely lose sight of the heroic commissar. To your left you see one of the the armoured vehicles thrown by an unseen creature as if it were a child's toy.

[Turns head as WK yells] You're not serious. Oh f-*
[Buried by explosions]

[the surviving Russes pivot and begin firing at the unseen creature]
BRING IT DOWN! NO MERCY!

*The sillutte becomes the vicious form of a Scythed Hierodule as it charges into the armoured coloumn. At such close range the main cannons proves useless as the the gunners fire the heavy bolter sponsons wildly. The explosive rounds bounce the thick armour plates leaving the beast free to destroy the machines before they can retreat.

Waves of smaller creatures crash into the imperial lines, leaving WK, Jhe and Vivivindi in hand to hand with the devourer's minions and BC alone, surrounded with everyone unable to see more than a few meters ahead of them...

[several Vanquishers unleash Beast Hunter Shells on the Hierodoule, bringing it crashing to the ground]
[stabs a Ravener through the chest with bayonet}
DIE! DIE KNOWING THE IMPERIUM WILL CLEANSE THE STARS OF YOUR TAINT!

[Drags self out from under wreckage] I will have that idiot's head...

[Dusts down and hurls self back into the fray, encouraging the guardsmen with litanies of True Aim]

Several Imperial guardsmen units that had been scattered by the initial attack manage to cut themselves a path to WK using his battle cries as a beacon to guide them through the spores. Bioconstructs surrounding them, the guard and the fusillade of las fire hold of the tide as more and more of the smaller creatures fall...

DRIVE THEM BACK! FOR THE IMPERIUM OF MAN!
