Battle for Selgrix

[Bara]

OOC: no, that sound about right

Vink and his men began recving weapons, and armour. They began haveing training, mainly survial training. During it, however, Vink and his men began to fashion these cloaks. when they were finally finshed training, and Vink recived the title of Lieuntat, he prestned them to Xexres and his men.

"Alright. now they may not seem like much, but they have katch sewn into them. it makes you blend in with the ground better."

Vink and his men were named Selgrix Rifle Group Number 1, and they were paired up wirh Xexres for there first mission. They had to raid a small village, which held large amounts of Katach in them. The group began stalking into it, Vinks cloak fullerting slighty in the wind. His sinper man, Calxtio, had already taken a head start. He radioed back it.

This is Selgrix scout 1. I see the village in my crosshairs, over

Vink got the vox-man up, and begin talking to Calx

Roger that. Were mvoing up on your postion.

Vink motined for Xexrves to follow. there las-guns were ready. Vink noticed his 2nd squad flmaer was breathing werid, and he calmed him down. Soon, 2 hours later, they were in postion. When Xexrves sent off the flare, his 1st squad, and his command squad was to charge into the village, secruing the village until tanks can be brought up. Now all they had to do was wait.

The Tau had readied themselves and prepared their bases as well as they could and now they were ready to march and meet the Imperial forces in battle. The Tau battlesuits and Fire Warriors arrived at an outpost. The Tau COmmander was an honorable warrior. "I wish to speak with the leader of the Imperial Guard here on the planet. I wish to discuss something with him!" The Tau waited with weapons at the ready for any trick that the Imperial Guard tried to pull.

[The Empire]

"Ferin!"

"Yes mistress?"

"You were given precise instructions that none of the Tau xenos here were to be allowed to live, were you not?"

"Yes mistress, I have followed your instructions to the letter!"

"Then why Ferin?! Why! do I sense some of them still alive and heading towards their own?!"

"Please mistress! NOOOO!"

Raising her staff, Artemis levitated the hapless brother Ferin in the air, spinning his body ever faster until he erupted in a bloody explosion, shards of his power armour flying in all directions and a bloody mist temporarily concealing the Sorceress and her newly created pet spawn...

"Khorgar! Bring me the captured xeno commander! I have a message to send to his master."

[Pachamama]

Above the planet the troop transport hovered in stationary orbit. It's thrusters kept it in position over the southern part of the continent.
"That is strange" one of the Adeptus Mechanicus manning the seeker equipment said.
"What is it" the Captain asked.
"There seem to be explosions around the Tau positions Sir."
"Fool. We have been bombing tem from orbit for an hour now. Those are secondary explosions."
"With all due respect Sir. But these look like plasma weapons fire and I also have some strange readings." the man replied.
"What strange readings are you talking about man" the Captain seemed to loose his patience.
He walked over and looked at the holographic projections.
"Go to optical and image enhance" he heard a tech priest say beside him.
As he turned around he looked into the camera eyes of the Tech Magnus.
"Take a look Captain" the metallic voice said.
The image from the surface showed a ship hovering over the planets surface close to the Tau positions.
There was movment on the ground. Warmachines and soldiers. Chaos soldiers.
"How did they get past your sensors" the Captain yelled at the sdeptus that manned the seekers.
"Fould magic. they blinded us with spells and trickery. we must inform the inquisition immediately." the Tech Magnus said with a stern yet calm voice. probably because it was synthetic and could be modulated any way he wanted.
"Yes, but call the "Starslayer" the captain added. "And inform our ground troops."

[Pachamama]

"Commander, Kommissar. We have a call from outpost Sierra-16. Southern perimeter."
the com-officers voice interrupted the chatter inside the command center.
"Put it on" Commander Bracchus said.
The officer pressed a button. A voice came on.
"This is outpost Sierra-16. we have enemy contact. Tau force of undisclosed size outside our sensors.
Their Leader wishes to talk with the Commander."
"You idiot's" Kommissar Mortis yelled. "This is a trap. Don't let those alien scum trick you. open fire."
Bracchus turned towards the com.unit.
"Artillery. Open fire on grid S-16, full barrage. Have our men move out and reinforce outpost Sierra 16 immediately."
While orders were shouted and the Commander prepared to leave the bunker to join his men in battle another voice came on.
"This is "Fortress of Heaven" a shrill voice said.
"Chaos forces are attacking the Tau positions in the south."
The Kommissar and Bracchus looked at each other.

Still concealed from sensors and psykers by Artemis' sorceries, the Scouge of truth drew slowly closer to the loyalist transport, using the vessel's blind spots to approach well within boarding range before launching the Dreadclaw assault pods that had been kept in reserve with their lethal cargo.


The first three pods attatched to the aft section of the loyalist vessel, right above the engines. As soon as the demonic vessels had secured themselves to the hull and opened their iris gates, the chainfists of the terminators inside went to work on the hull, slowly but inevitably chewing their way through.
At that time, the sorceries concealing the Word Bearer battle barge subsided and the huge vessel finally appeared on the doomed loyalists' sensors in all it's malicious glory, covered in defaced Imperial symbols, leering deamon faces moving in the metal and huge gunbarrels with a barely contained unholy glow visible at their monstrous muzzles. Around it, creations of the dark mechanicus, Hell blade fighters and Hell talon bombers swarmed towards the transport along with several more of the Dreadclaw assault pods.

"Move that cable over there. And don't forget tha "Chant of  flow" when you attach the coupling."
The Adeptus mechanicus told the three acolytes under his command.
the young men moved the thick cable across the floor towards the bay it had rested in.
They prepared to start their chant while the Adeptus lit up some incense.

He raised his hand.
"By the mechanics of the golden throne, be silent. What is this horrendous noise behind that wall?"
The acolytes stopped their task still holding on to the cable.
"Another air condition unit failing?" the Adeptus mumbled to himself while walking up to the wall.
He pressed his ear against the metal.
"Oh spirit of the machine tell this unworthy servant of this glorious vessel what ails have befallen thee." he started the chant.
His voice died as in a shower of sparks as a  chainblade cut trough the hull and split his head in the middle down to his chest.
In a gust of blood he turned toward the acolytes that had frozen in fear.
With his dying breath he spoke "Intrudersss"

[The Empire]

The dark apostle withdrew his bloodied chainfist from the gaping hole, the glow of the disruptive field surrounding the weapon reflected off his tusked terminator helmet and thus revealed his nature to the loyalist acrolytes for a short moment before he resumed cutting along with his four brothers to widen the breach.

Within half a minute, the breach was large enough to allow them inside, the two other squads entering adjacent compartments.

[Pachamama]

The acolytes stood frozen with fear. Their teacher lay dead at the feet of those horrible "Things".
Then the alarm sounded off.

On the bridge of the "Fortress of Heaven" an alarm sounded and lights began to flash.
"A hull breach. No three of them. Close to the main engines." one of the crew members yelled.
Suddenly the entire bridge crew let out a scream.
On their monitors and outside the armored view ports they could see a ship appearing seemingly out of nowhere.
A Chaos battle barge. Close enough one could touch it with ones hands.
"All hands to battle stations" the Captain yelled but the crew still in shock reacted as in slow motion.
It felt like the gunners took forever to realign the guns from their planetary targets to the new threat.

By the emperor. Curse those damn typos.

[The Empire]

Strangely enough, the battle barge did not fire it's main guns, the point in doing so was soon to be revealed as the terminators in the aft cut the main power supply. Instantly, the artificial gravity generators ceased and any one of the crew not holding tight to the ship started floating until local emergency systems started to kick in, providing basic life-support and a much weaker gravity field.
The first objective acchived, the three squads of terminators advanced, their magnetzed boots keeping them steady with or without gravity. The main squad, led by dark apostle Herod advanced upwards, heading for the bridge, while the two other squads advanced forward towards strategic passages in an attempt to cut off any reinforcements heading aft.

A small band began rumbling towards the crash area. There was a large deal of smoke, and hopefully, nobody there to scavenge it. They rumbled along, atop there harvesters. They had put a Repeating Crossbow on it, to ward off those who might come and take there Metals. They rounded a scarpheap, and saw what the smoke came from. These Monsters were walking around, men in these ornate Armour were walking, Armour were chanting, for some tzzecth. They opened there motuhs, and then the outsiders began shooting at them. the walls of the havters were pirecd, and the band fell. almost all died instaly. the ones who were siurvied were killed as sacrfies.  However, there was 2 peolpe inside of the haverester that were spared, they fled the area, and quickly headed to the nearst outpost. They had bigger problems then 1 outsider. They had 2/

[The Empire]

The horrors leaped after their prey for some time, launching their unholy sorceries after the vehicle until they could no longer sustain their own precence on the material plane and vanished into thin air. The militia's were lucky it was only a pack of lesser demons they encountered and not Artemis' Word Bearers who were mounting their Land Raider and Rhino transports in the other end of what merly hours before had been a small Tau base.

Artemis herself was standing in the bottom of a large crater together with the Dark apostle Khorgar, a squad of Thousand Son bodyguards and the still living commander of the Tau outpost thrown naked into the dust by her feet.

[Pachamama]

One of the acolytes regained his composure together with his balance. Floating trough the air he managed to touch a wall with his feet. he pushed himself towards on of the armored monsters his plasma torch in hand.
"FOR THE EMPEROR. DIE"

[The Empire]

The terminator laughed, a metallic, hollow laughter as he brought up his combi-bolter and fiered a burst of bolts at the acrolyte from point blank range. One of the bolts exploded inside the acrolyte's skull, spattering the room with blood, another burst in his right shoulder, blowing the arm with the plasma cutter clear off, causing it to continue in the same direction it was going, melting part of the terminator's left shoulderpad in a glancing blow before it ran out of fuel and was swatted away. Before he left the room, he shot each of the other acrolytes to make sure they wouldn't copy their foolish comrade's actions and also put a few extra bolts into the adeptus' corpse for good measure.

The milta quickly mounted there horses, and began to head to where the Band said the new outsiders were. They rode as fast as they could, going the other way along the scarp heap. They charged in, shouting at the top of there lungs. There crude shotguns firing at the enemy. Yet, the shots bounced off. They still pressed on. There expoldingg lances were thrown, and they fled to behind the scarp heap. They dismountedm and they took up postions behind the heap, hoping they will be safe from fire. They began sending runners out to go get extra troops. If they waited soon enough ,they could have over 200 milita troops.
