ooc: grots are 1 meters
boys 2-2.5 meters
nobs 2.75 meters
warboss 3 meters
these are average sizes
the terrain was forest but is now basically a flat mudpit

"Captain!" Paleneus called.
"Yes sir?"
"Ready the men. We will launch our attack soon"
"Right away sir"

Paleneus looks back over the battle scene, alone now.
"I'm surprised the orcs have kept their onslaught so long, especially after some of the tricks the marines pulled. This is faring to be an interesting battle. No doubt both sides have more tricks up their sleeves". He sighs, "Well maybe I can eliminate some of those"

With a swish from his cape, he turned and walked back to his troops, the long lines of marines awaiting his orders.

Inquisitor Hasselhof and the Captain of the Space Wolves were leading the army in the landspeeder, when a message came over the intercom.
We think we have found the location of the Ing hordes. Transmitting location now.
Excellent, responded Hasselhof. [I] We'll get as close as possible without attracting too much attention. Don't attack until you hear the signal. We want to observe these creatures first.
Yessir. Understood, sir. [I/]

The army adjusted it's direction, and started to approach the location of the Ing.

OOC: If you want my numbers, I reckon I'd have...
30 jetbikes
80 space marine regular troops choices (aargh, forgotten what they're called)
30 space marine elite choices (sorry, my knowledge of space marines is really bad)
3 Drednoughts
The Captain
Inquisitor Hasselhof, equipped with psycannon and bolt pistol (I think it was...)

I apologise for my ignorance when it comes to space marines. If someone would please point out the gaping holes in my writing, I'd be more than happy to put them right (including things like how ridiculously large/small/unvaried my army is).

OOC: Space Marines use regular bikes, no jetbikes. The elites are Terminators, and the normal are Tactical squads. Oh, and just so you know, Grey Knights are ALL terminators, with slightly differing rules depending upon the force selection chart. Otherwise, they wouldn't b a viable army

All around the Kroot battle was commensing but no Foes had come within the Kroots Grasp yet. Xang-klor grew impatient his troops needed to feed.

OOC: so yea..................could we be needed or attacked or any other such thing??

Commander Keyes, hearing the reports from the front, grabbed his powersword and bolter and entered land raiders together with ten terminators. He also sent a message to the Kroot asking them to join the battle.

The dreadnought (the one fleeing from the 'Nids) had arrived at the battlefield and were firing the assault cannon into the green horde.

OOC: I doubt Orc's would be able to climb a titan.

And your facing, Striking Scorpians and Storm Squads as well as Howling Banshees in combat,

IC: Commander Dante, commanded the Eldars Titans as they strode into battle, seeing the Orc Gargant ahead he ordered his forces to open fire.

OOC:Anyone play Epic and Battlefleet Cothic, if you do please give me a link to Eldar ship types and Titans.

Responding to the marines Dreadnaught 3 killa kans turned and opened fire as they moved toward it. While the marines dealt with the ork speed freaks the rest of the boys fighting marines managed to close the gap and began assaulting the marines once again.


ooc: A: I said grots not orks, grots are smaller and far better at climbing then orks
B: You still have to respond to the fighta bomma's and the Gargant's attacks
C: I don't think your scorpians, storms, and banshees whould notice a few grot mobs when they're fighting against da boys

All around the Kroot battle was commensing but no Foes had come within the Kroots Grasp yet. Xang-klor grew impatient his troops needed to feed.

OOC: so yea..................could we be needed or attacked or any other such thing??


OOC: Why not just join in... The Kroot hate the Orks, didnt you know?

IC: Templar gazed along the Black Angel section of the lines. Although they were still numerous, they were soon going to be overwhelmed. Blowing a hole in an Ork's head, he clicked hims sommlink open once more, "All Adeptus Astartes, this is Brother-Captain Templar of the Black Angels. We require assistance, our numbers have weakened, and the 3rd Company has yet to arrive. We will hod as long as possible, but we may have to fall back if the Ork's stage another assualt"

Further down the line, Honourable-Brother Dantus fired the Assualt cannon on his right arm into the oncoming horde. The Dreadnought fired indiscriminatlly, cutting Ork's down in their droves. He felt rokkits and big shoota rounds impace on his armour, mostly from the Tankbusta's advancing on his position. But, for the first time in a while, he felt alive. He turned the massive construct to face this new threat, bolter rounds cracking from the storm bolter under his left arm

Turning to face the dreadnaught was a Big Mek in one of the most heavily customised sets of power armour imaginable. Roaring out a challange he activated both the warbike wheels and the jumppack as he leapt at the dreadnaught.*


ooc: If possible can we do this as a duel type fight?

OOC: Sure. Even it out a little though. I mean really, warbike wheels AND a jetpack? Have one or the other, not both, its getitng into the realms of GM

ooc:its the only way to use mega armour and a jetpack
basically it just counts as a jetpack.
mega armour isn't normal used with a jetpack so i have this incase people complain

ooc:its the only way to use mega armour and a jetpack
basically it just counts as a jetpack.

OOC: It's still GM, u know Ork's arent allowed both

The dreadnought closed in on the killa kans as its gun was useless against their armour.

Receiving the message, Keyes gave the land raiders driver orders to circle around the battlefield to reinforce the Black angels.

On the frontlines the Ultramarines poured fire into the orksih lines, their bolters and heavy bolters red-hot in their hands. They would hold the line... for now. They were praying for airsupport. And reinforcements. And that the Kroots would arrive. And that the Orks wouldn't launch another assault. The list was endless.

Having smashed into the marine lines again the orks sent forth a mass of grots to serve as a shield before charging yet again.


ooc:I Know but like so much in 40k it's customised and allowable as long as both agree.

ooc:I Know but like so much in 40k it's customised and allowable as long as both agree.

OOC: Alright, I'll allow it. Mega Armour and Jetpack ablities. Weapons?


IC: As the Ultramarine's Land Raiders fired from behind them, a cheer went up from the Black Angel lines. The lascannon fire poured into the horde, lessening their numbers further. They had weathered the storm thus far, but could they survive till the end? Templar had called in the orbital bombardment, which was crashing into the horde from behind. The Unrelenting Fury was still a worthy ship, despite her damage from encounters with the Tyranid Hive Fleet.

Dantus turned, and saw the Big Mek coming towards him at full pace. So, the Ork wants to play? he thought, opening the assualt cannon and storm bolter at the same time. Explosive bolts stitched their way across the mega armour of the Ork, but he refused to go down. Hard Xenos bastard! he thought, swinging the CQB weapon at the Ork...

The marines saw the grots forming up as a human shield if that could be said about vile aliens like these. It didn't matter the marines thought in unison. Fifty marines rushed forwards and threw fragmentation grenades behind the grots and then retreated to safety. As the grenades detonated the marines continued firing their gus intoo the massive horde that was the Orks.

Commander Keyes had arrived and he and the terminators filled the gaps in the Black angels lines.
I am commander Keyes. We're here to lend what help we can, but our troops are still pinned down on the Orks right flank. However I, the terminator squad and the land raiders we arrived in will lend what assistance we can

OOC: what kind of armament does a land raider have?

OOC: what kind of armament does a land raider have?

OOC: Hold on, are you Blood Angels? ONly Blood Angels have honour guard. And a Land Raider: Standard has two twin-linked lascannons, and a pintle mounted storm bolter. The Crusader has two hurricane pattern bolters (basically twelve bolters), twin linked assualt cannon, and a pintle mounted multi-melta.

IC: Templer looked at the new arrival, "Welcome to the front Brother. I am Brother-Captain Templar, Black Angels. Thanks be to the Emperor for your support. We were the first to enter the fighting, and as such have suffered the worst casualties. The Appthercarys are treating the wounded some distance from here, but they should be OK. *Gestures out at the horde* take your pick off targets. The bombadement is form my battlebarge. Theres more than enough to go around!

As the bolter bullets pinged off his armour the Mek took careful* aim and opened fire with his mega blasta as he charge forward.

As the Fury began it's bombardment the orks space hulk rotated course to bring its guns to bear as it began a raming run.

As the marines grenades whent off each ork grabbed the nearest grot and used it as a shield. They then with kicks, punches and by throwing them got the grots to begin charging the marine lines with the orks close behind.

ooc:weapons/gear: power claw,kustom mega blasta, kustom forcefield, cybork body
*for an ork
land raider has 2 twin linked lascannons and a twinlinked stormbolter

OOC: Hold on, are you Blood Angels? ONly Blood Angels have honour guard. And a Land Raider: Standard has two twin-linked lascannons, and a pintle mounted storm bolter. The Crusader has two hurricane pattern bolters (basically twelve bolters), twin linked assualt cannon, and a pintle mounted multi-melta.

IC: Templer looked at the new arrival, noting the tear-drop. Blood Angels. "Welcome to the front Brother. I am Brother-Captain Templar, Black Angels. Thanks be to the Emperor for your support. We were the first to enter the fighting, and as such have suffered the worst casualties. The Appthercarys are treating the wounded some distance from here, but they should be OK. *Gestures out at the horde* take your pick off targets. The bombadement is form my battlebarge. Theres more than enough to go around!

OOC: No, I'm not Blood angels. Sorry about that, but as I said I don't play WH:40K. I apoligize.

The Unrelenting Fury turned away from the hulk, as another battlebarge emerged from the Immaterium. It was Night Stalker, the flagship of the 3rd Company. A cry went up from the Black Angel's as they heard the news. The Night Stalker broadsided the hulk, followed closely by Unrelenting Fury. Onboard both ships, Assault Marines prepared to board the hulk, it was a major obstacle....


Dantus' Dreadnought reeled slightly from the shot, but regained it's balence. It advanced, Dantus opening the throttle to maximum. under it's feet, Grot's and Ork's alike were crushed. It closed on the Big Mek with alarming speed, the CQB weapon coming down to impact severly with this Xenos...


Along the lines, the Predators reaped death with their autocannons, the high-impact round slamming into the horde that was still advancing, despite the best efforts to prevent it...

OOC: No, I'm not Blood angels. Sorry about that, but as I said I don't play WH:40K. I apoligize.

It's alright, I'll let it slide... lol, more Astartes the better!

As the hulk closed on the Fury, guns blazing, it began launching brute ram ships at the Stalker. The BRS began accelerating heading at full speed at the Stalker.

The Big Mek continues blasting with the mega blasta as he slide to the side swinging the powerclaw at the Dread's leg.

Engaging the Predators where ork kannons, zzap guns and lobbas while 2 battle wagons bristiling with 2 with 2 twinlinked rokkit launchas, a zzap gun and 5 big shootas drove into at the Predators while the boys on board where blazing away with thier shootas.


ooc:whats a CQB

OOC: Close Quater Battle weapon. Basically, a very big powerfist that gives him S 10. Can't you attack others as well, my forces are kinda thin, and I refuse to be pushed out

IC: Both of the battlebarges felt the impact of hulk firepower, but by now they had the advantage. The 3rd Company escorts had arrived, and engaged the BRS.

Dantus felt the powerclaw clip a servo, and responded with a fist pounding into the ground, smashing the Ork with the shockwave. He also opened up with the storm-bolter, trying to find a weakness.

As the Orks, unharmed by the grenades due to grot shields, charged the Ultramarines optimized their firing capability by having the first row of marines lay down on the ground, the next row on their knees and the third row standing. That way every marine could fire his weapon without fear of hitting a comrade.

One of the predator blew up at once, but the other one turned the turret and fired the twin-linked lascannon at the orkish vehicles.

As the hulk was hit by barge fire small parts broke off as it continued it brutal attack. Some of the BRS where blown up but most manage to avoid or absorb the attacks as the approached their target barge.

The shock wave clipped the megablasta power core rendering it useless as the Mek began savagly slashing at the Dreadnaught with it's power claw.

ooc: when I say marines I'm talking about all the marines not just your force.
Also since your the only one whos on right now you're the only one who can respond to the attacks. you could have the marines fall back to a more defensible site and leave the eldar hanging because they're the orks true target in this battle the marines are just getting in the way..

OOC: I'd prefer not to do anything with their forces, but if there is no response tomorrow at 15:30 (local time) I will.

OOC: Are the Ing there any more? I don't want to attack and then have nothing happen. I suppose I could godmod them...but of course, I don't want to have to do that... Mind you, it would be fun, totally and utterly destroying someone.

As the lasbeams* blasted at the battlewagon, the first set missed completely while the secound set smashed into the side destroying 2 of the big shootas, killed the orks maning them and kill a few other orks on board. The ork artillery continued blasting at the marine vehicled.

ooc:*lascannon rounds (my term)

One round hit the turret blowing it off and killing everyone inside, as well as turning the rest of the predator into a smoking shell wich exploded, sending shrapnel as far away as 100 metres, when the fuel caught fire.

ooc: I most likely have the hardest role in this thread. I have to RP fights with everybody.

OOC: Would the Kroot like to stumble across this war sometime soon? You must be getting pretty bored, that's all.
IC: DIE, Green scum! yelled the commander as his best shas'ui fell under a screaming swarm of Orks. He rapidly fired all weapons at point-blank range into the Orks, who were flinging themselves at his shield generator, to no avail. Suddenly, he toppled backwards.
"ALL IS LOST!" cried a squad of Fire Warriors, just before the Commander Stood up again, the remains of some crushed Grots on hi Crisis's suit.
"I HATE those stupid Grots. Honestly, trying to sabotage me from behind. Do they NEVER learn?"

ooc: I most likely have the hardest role in this thread. I have to RP fights with everybody.

OOC: weel, you are the Orks. At least you know the game...

A few mobs near to where the Tau went down seeing the suits get back up turned from the space marines to take down the tau. Guns blazing the orks charge at the Tau.

ooc:where are the tyranids

OOC: Would the Kroot like to stumble across this war sometime soon? You must be getting pretty bored, that's all.


OOC: yea i know but im off at skool form 7:00 to 3:00 US Eastern time so its hard to read all the post then respond in the time i got free

IC:
Xang-klor Gave the word and Twenty Kroot kindreds rushed toward the area of battle.They where armed to the teeth, Kroot rifles, Kroot pistols and hunting knives. They smelt the air and rushed towards the scent of greenskins.

The Ultramarines used the moment of weakness when som of the Orks turned and faced the Kroot and shot them in the back.

OOC: I hope the other guys show up soon.

As some of the orks turned to engage the Tau and where shot in the back* more charged forward to fill the spaces the tau attacking orks left.

ooc:*For shame attacking from behind

Fire at will! The Commander yelled as the Orks came crashing down upon the Tau. "They are dead men anyway! KILL THE ORKS! They must not reach our ranks!"
Suddenly, he heard a droning from above. "REINFORCEMENTS HAVE ARRIVED! Looks like that's all we've got left..." he shouted as the Hammerheads glided in, the Submunition (troop-killing) railguns on maximum fire. With so many Orks to aim at, they didn't have to worry about being accurate...

OOC: 'lo peoples. I'm just wondering if you'll allow another force of Imperium troops: Cadian Shock Troopers. There'll be a platoon of Youth Army/Whiteshields too. How 'bout it?

OOC: A: Sorry about the same name as your ship...these are a chapter of space marines I made up a while ago, and use when I play friends at school (I follow the rules outlined in the space marine codex, so they are legal when I play)
B: I now need to correct myself - they look like space marines

IC:

The Night Stalkers moved into their positions: the snipers, including the vindicare assassin, high up on mountains and in what was left of the jungle, assault marines ready to drop down, bikes ready to charge at the enemy, and Paleneus with his highly skilled scouts very close to the battle scene, yet still out of sight. Every man knew their strength - surprise - and they planned to use it.

OOC: not my thread, but as far as I know its open to anyone

OOC: Sorry I've been away for a bit, loads of h/w. Basically all my nids in the battle have been killed or ran away when the big ship went down. i've lost MOST of my army now :mad: The big creature that emerged a while ago has been preying on random scouts or other such entities.

IC: The Warriors charged. Some of them went straight into the middle of the orks and marines. The others stopped short and fired their various bioweapons into the melee. So far, confused reports had been received by most of the other races of something big with too many arms feeding on anything that move in the Jungle.

OOC: Yes this will involve the Iguana guy. Oh and :mad: !!! Dumb suicide bomber!!!

As the Hammerheads arrived a few of the fighta bommas turned to engage and destroy the tau air units.

ooc: the terrain has no trees, they've been destroyed, for miles and the mountains are far to far away for any use

OOC: sorry can't fight you with hammerheads: one, they are tanks, two, they've landed. I could [cough cough] end up with some fighters if you like

OOC: You're still pissed!? FFS... Jesus (and so on)

The Ultramarines turned and faced the 'Nids, hoping the Orks would do so to.

Sending firehawks to aid Tau. You'll have to command them yourself.

OOC: Guys, the clock is 22:00 over here so I'm going to bed. I'd appreciate if you would leave my marines alone 'til I come back.

As the Hammerheads arrived a few of the fighta bommas turned to engage and destroy the tau air units.

ooc: the terrain has no trees, they've been destroyed, for miles and the mountains are far to far away for any use
Nah, there's a jungle somewhere, that's where i hide!

ooc Then the fighta bommas will just straft and bomb them.

OOC: You're still pissed!? FFS... Jesus (and so on)

The Ultramarines turned and faced the 'Nids, hoping the Orks would do so to.
Of course I'm still pissed!!! That was the most un-space marine like thing to do ever!

OOC: fine. I call upon: the Thunderhawks! Marines, could do with some help here...

OOC: fine. I call upon: the Thunderhawks! Marines, could do with some help here...
THUNDERHAWKS!!! WTF!?!?! Do you know what they can do?

OOC: yes, of course I do. anyway, my allies are the Marines. I repeat: I call upon the Thunderhawks!

Seeing the 'freakies'* quite a few of the orks mobs turned to face the tyranid while the rest continues with the thier orignial attack.

ooc:*freakies ork name for tyranids

OOC: Thunderhawks = godmoding, no fair!

IC: The wave of warriors was quickly followed by two Carnifexes (they survived the crash). One was bio-equiped for close combat, the other for long range. The close combat one went straight at the marines with the ranged one firing barbed strangler shots at groupds of orks

OOC: I hope this means we will forget you ever mentioned Fighta Bombers vs. Hammerheads.
IC: Suddenly, the Hammerheads' secretly customized blades slid out of the front of them, as they flew over the Orks and Marines and through the Tyranids.
"Have some, losers!" yelled the Captain Air Caste pilot of the Hammerheads, Burst cannons blazing and Seeker Missiles flying in all directions.
OOC: Fine, cancel the Thunderhawks. I can always bring in some Manta missile destroyers. Less well-known, almost as deadly.
Also, if anyone here collects Tau, could they tell me what the one-shot missiles found on all Tau vehicles are called? I could do with firing some at the Carnifexes, you see.

I'm being victimized!!!! NO FAIR!!! Que big thing.....
Can hammerheads do that?!!?

OOC: Read the sign-up rp. My Tau are a little... well, special. think of it as being tank-shocked with a little spice
As for seeker missiles and burst cannons at the same time, yes.

I still think that i am being victimized and that you are godmoding. Anyone else agree?

The Battlefeild was in sight, Suddenly a barrage of fire flew towards the orkish troops. The Kroot Attempted to draw the Orks into the Jungle relieng on Orkish barbarism to bring the orks in.

OOC: In that case, I'm gonna godmode u back and do death-or-glory with my Carnifex!
IC: The Carnifex ran (as much as it could) at the oncoming Tau ship, claws and talons raised. The rending claws dug into the front of the ship and ripped out most of the bottom as it flew over it.

Responding to the attack from the forest a few mobs of burna boys undercover of a few mobs of boys cranked open thier burnas and poured the fire into the trees while the slugga boys opened fire.

ooc:I'd say partial GM but since I've never played against tau(RL) I couldn't say for sure.

The whole custom blade thing was a godmode... so I used an actual 40K rule on him! DEATH-OR-GLORY!

OOC: Thunderhawks are godmods, yet Titans are allowed! WTF!

IC: The Black Angels were being forced back to new defensive positions, closer to the Eldar lines. The other Astartes could hold the main line, until the 3rd Company arrived. Then. the Black Angels could regroup and get back into the fight!

OOC: I hope this means we will forget you ever mentioned Fighta Bombers vs. Hammerheads.
IC: Suddenly, the Hammerheads' secretly customized blades slid out of the front of them, as they flew over the Orks and Marines and through the Tyranids.

OOC: Dude, those are Seeker missiles. ONe-shot, ulimited range, and NOT FOUND ON ALL TAU VEHICLES! They are an upgrade!

The warp rippled and surged, opening a hole in space to allow ships through, as additional reinforcements were called to arms. The 105th Cadian Shock Trooper Regiment has been dispatched to aid the other forces of the Imperium, escorted by the Judgement-class battleship Justice's Sword and her fleet. Colonel Marcus Javian of the Regiment smiled as he watched the troops await combat on the planet. Young unblooded Whiteshields and old grizzled sergeants, commissars and privates, they all are eager to kill Orcs, Necron, or Tyranids alike, and Emperor willing, they'd get a chance to deal with Chaos itself!

"Troops! Get ready for deployment! We are ordered to help our brethren in the Legiones deal with the foul xenos!" The Colonel yelled to the troops as they ran to the dropships and other landing craft and began deploying to the planet. The larger ships of the fleet set up defensive positions, ready to fight against anything xeno.

We now follow one particular platoon, the Cadian 1st platoon of the 2nd Battalion (1st Company). It's a full-strength platoon of Whiteshields, commanded by Commissar Davis Sernan as they head down to the planet in a large dropship.

"Once we hit the ground, we think quick and act fast, because the enemy is not going to sit around for us, understood?" The commissar asked the youngest members of the regiment, anywhere from 8 to 16.

"Yes, sir!" The young, eager troops belted out, lasguns in hand.

"Good! Get ready!" The dropship headed down towards the current location of the fighting, and set down. "Go! Go! GO!"

The boys of the 1st of the 2nd charged out, each boy backing up the others as they fearlessly sought out the enemy. Cadians, the lot of them, they fight as tenaciously as any Space Marine, and when they prove themselves, they'll no longer be called Whiteshields, but Guardsmen in their own right, no matter their ages. Woe betides the forces of Chaos!

As the oomies began to disembark from thier ships, muiltple mobs turned opened fire and charge at the guardsmen.

Templar looked on as the Imperial Guard dropship landed, and turned away in disgust. He had the utmost respect for the Imperial Guard, they were invaluable allies. But, their practice of taking children into battle! An appaling practice, one not helped by the last Black Crusade upon Cadia. They were green, and most would be dead before the end of the day. The Space Marines had seen many like this, so many, and it would not be the last time they would see them. It was a miracle that Cadia had survived the last crusade, not at least in part to the Black Angels, who had held up a large number of reinforcements far from Cadia.

"Hurry up brethern! We must fortify these positions, in cas the Ork's break the front line."



Onboard the Night Stalker, Commander Karit watched as his men clambered into the drop-pods, and as they were jettisoned, he hoped he was in time to save the 2nd Company from total destruction

As the orks continued tearing into the guards and realising that they need less to butcher the guards than needed, the majority turned back and began to reassault the marines.

As the oomies began to disembark from thier ships, muiltple mobs turned opened fire and charge at the guardsmen.
"Orks, sir!" A 13 year old yelled, and lased the first greenskin he could see.

"FIRE AT WILL!" Davis ordered, even after the cutting beams of lasguns and searing plasma of meltaguns and deadly boltguns let loose with fervor. Chimerax tanks rumbled nearby, providing fire support for the young guardsmen with autocannons as they sought to deal with the enemy.

OOC: You're forgetting Snake, that this is a time of eternal war, where everyone who can carry a weapon is a soldier. The Cadians don't consider a guardsman a guardsman unless he is able to field-strip a lasgun by age 10! Somehow, I don't think the Marines would act disgusted, more like praising them for the courage.

As the guard opened up the orks managed to get into handtohand with the guard and began tearing the guardsmen to peices.

OOC: I am a SM player, and I know how they would think. Yes, they would praise courage. Anyway, Marines are hard bastards. The Guard are like their little brothers. Trust me, in every novel I ever read, they are the ones looking to the Marines for guidance. Also, Templar is using my views, child soldiering, no matter what the circumstances, should never be done.

IC: The 3rd Company landed on the planet, and immediatley got to work. They were the Assualt Chapter, brethern who were masters of this art. As they landed, the quick armoured division moved to resupply the 2nd Company, whilst Karit led the main body on an assualt to save the Cadian Whiteshields. They were only children after all

As the guard opened up the orks managed to get into handtohand with the guard and began tearing the guardsmen to peices.
Bayonets flashed and point-blank shots tore into the enemy as the young guardsmen and their older brothers swarmed the Orks like insects, most of them staying out of reach to blast them in their faces. Grenades were thrown at the ugly brutes, and the swift youngsters used their small sizes to avoid the nastiest of the blows, but several were killed still. The tanks and assault cannons continued to support the men of the 2nd Battalion, tearing the Orks a new one.

As more oomies and metal oomies joined the fray the orks continued to pile into the enemy blasting, slashing, and screaming "Wagggggggh" as they continued to attack relentless ly.


ooc:last post for a while. go fight the tyranids or just post and I'll reply when I'm back

The Assualt Marines smashed into the Ork's, tearing into them with a ferocity seen only by the Blood Angels. With the mixed geneseed, those displaying Blood Angel or Space Wolf tendencies for CQB where moved to the 3rd Company, becoming shocktroops for the Black Angels. At their head was Commander Karit, his power-sword and plasma pistol blowing holes in the Orks as the force created an unstoppable wave of death and destruction



At the new defensive positions, Templar was feeling good. His men had regrouped, and all but the most seriously wounded had recovered. The others had either died from their wounds or were being evacuated to a field hospital. Templar looked at Hanst, whose blood red helmet faced him, and nodded.
Hanst clicked open his link to the other chapters,"Brethern, fall back. We have established new positions, better for defense."

"Damn, these green bastards are tough! But we're tougher!" Davis growled as he stabbed a lasgun bolt into an Ork, slicing him in half before he would kill one of the younger boys. The guardsmen used their numbers to fight the Orks, taking losses but for every man or boy torn apart for the Emperor, two stepped in their place to lase or melt the Orks (the flames being the most effective weapons thus far). The Cadians are tenacious as ever, and it shows in the battle.

The Assualt Marines smashed into the Ork's, tearing into them with a ferocity seen only by the Blood Angels.

The Cadian Shock Troopers fell back to regroup with their bigger Marine brothers, bloodied but still fierce, as the tanks continued to chew up Ork positions.

OOC:
BTW, who would win, an Ork or a Jedi? :D

A score of Kroot fell to the barrage of Shots. They began a tactical withdrawl, Shoting behind there backs to lure them in, away from there allies and into their traps.
OOC: A ork with its inteligance would obvisoully not expect a trap, not to say there dumb just big green muscle men on a testerone high :)

As the marines and guard linked up the ork big gunz began opening up on the tanks while the boys continued to blast, blaze, slash and hack throught the marine/guard lines. A few ork tankbusta boys began launching rokkits at the tanks as well.

As the burna boys set the woods on fire causing a forest fire to chase after the kroot, while the rest of the boys returned to attacking the marines/guards.

ooc:most orks are not that smart but mek boys are fairly smart and they are the ones who lead burna boys mobs.

"I want air support, now!" The Colonel yelled into the vox as he boltered yet another Ork to death. Soon enough, fighters streaked through the sky to take on the Orks with missiles.

Meanwhile, young Luthor, a 12 year old probitor, noticed that the tanks were getting chewed up by the rokkits, and with three other boys, attacked and lasgunned the tankbustas to get them off the tanks' backs.

As the guards fighters began their attack run on the ork ground forces the ork fighta bommas began blasting at the guards aircraft.

ooc:lasgunned the tankbustas to get them off the orks' backs. what did you mean with this line, the tankbusta boys are orks and they arn't on the orks backs

OOC: well i'm asuming, what with orks think fighting over whos shadow is bigger is a good excuse for an interstellar jihad lol :D
IC:
The Flames rached the Kroot and burned a full kindred, The order was given to fall back to a nearby cliff face/ outcroping of rocks. The kroot Made a firebase and proceeded to pelt the orks again wiht pulse fire.

OOC: Edited. Should have been tanks.

A few tankbusta boys were blasted by the lascannons but most had sought shelter behind wrecked tanks and gutted terminators.

Once the forest had burnt to the ground, the orks began blasting and charging the kroots.

The burna boys having completed thier job with the kroot forests moved on to hunting and burning the guard and melting the armour of the guardsmen's tanks.

The entire Kroot Forces moved toward the outcroping. It was a large hill covered in rocks and surrounded by burnng forest. The Kroot sat there Shooting at the Orks and waiting for the Fire to burn out. They began to focus on The Flamethrower weilding ones and Antitank units. Then Xang-klor remembered one the vital fact the Punji traps would still be there after the fire what with the "sticks" made out of Scrap metal form The destroyed Warsphere. Now what was left of the ship that could be rebuilt was destroyed. He Called for Aid from there Imperial allies and Tau forces.

As the orks charged the Kroot over the smouldering forest, some fell in the tigar traps, and some had to retreat because of burnt feet, most managed to get into range of the kroot where they began attacking and charging the kroot forces.

Bit by bit, the guardsmen fell back, and a quarter of the whiteshields were lost to the enemy. Air-to-ground attacks were slowed by the ork fighters, but still occured whenever an opportunity presented itself. Tanks were being destroyed, but the Guardsmen still has the powerful lasguns and other weapons to use against the Orks. But the Guardmens and Whiteshields held on to every inch of ground as long as possible, not giving way at the defensive positions the Marines gave them.

Luthor fired right into an ork that foolishly charged him, slicing him in half mere feet from the boy's feet, and helped his fellow youngsters fight off the the burna boyz. The youth army were young enough that they didn't know what was impossible, and that courage, and a near-phobic fear of failure, kept up their attacks, more than the older and wiser men could do at times. This is the true reason why Cadians never deny the youngsters the right to fight alongside their older 'brothers', because in the eyes of a Cadian, they're not children, but soldiers once they taste the cup of battle.

As the orks, marines, and guardsmen did battle, a fighta bomma was shot down, bounced off a tank and crashed/crushed into guardsmen sliding to a stop just infront of Luthor.

The Kroot Just Continued to rain frie upon the Orks.
OOC: its 9:45 here im gin to bed if you get into CLosecombat wiht meh kroot they will fight you.

As the orks, marines, and guardsmen did battle, a fighta bomma was shot down, bounced off a tank and crashed/crushed into guardsmen sliding to a stop just infront of Luthor.
"The hell? Watch where you're flyin', greenie!" Luthor yelled rolling to dodge the fighta, and brought his rifle to bear on the cockpit and fired a lasbeam just in case the Ork manages to survive.

Luthors lasbeam fried a power conduit causeing the engine* on the fighta bomma to explode. As the orks continued to attack the marines/guardsmen a few of them threw stikk bombs** while one of them threw the pin** and blew up with the bomb.

ooc:* The engine was pointed away from Luthor
** Some orks, the ones best suited for stikk bomba boys throw the bombs the rest tend to throw the pin as often as the bombs.

Luthor coughed and choked as smoke from the explosion reached him, and he fell back with other youngsters. Some guardsmen returned fire with frag grenades, though somebody threw what turned out to be a vortex grenade...*evil grin*

ooc:what is a vortex grenade
last post for tonight

OOC: Basically opens up a small hole into the warp, causing a vacuum to suck in anyone nearby. Ork are fungi, so in they go! :p

As the frag and warp grenade went off, killing grots in the blast the orks continued thier blasting "Waggggggghing" charge into the guards.

When the Orks turned to attack the Dark angels and the Guardsmen the Ultramarines attacked them from behind, firing their weapons from the hip and on the move before closing in in hand-to-hand combat.

OOC: Stuffing your face, it is written that ¨he who dies so that another shall live will eat at the Emperor's table¨ so I think a marine could do that. After all, if the Beacon of fury hadn't been sacrificed there would be two fullstrenght tyranid armies, and many more marines and guardsmen would have died.

As the U-marines engaged the orks from behind more orks piled in after the marines effectively surrounding them.

OOCIf I've got ship types wrong then tell me.

IC:As the Fighter Bomber closed in on the retreating Eldar, Eldrads counter-strike struck, hundreds of eldars ships, Shadow Cruisers, Void Stalkers, Eclipse class cruisers, Hellebores, Aconites, Helocks, nightshades, Wraithships, Shadowhunters and Dragonships pounced from above, hundreds of ship, the Craftworlds entire supply and opened fire.

On the ground, as the orcs where destrackted slowly the Eldar fell back, leaving some defences to the Orcs who began to concentrate on other things, then the Eldar fired, thousands of Strunkans firing, flying hundreds of meters to embed themselves in Orc flesh, almost 500,000 where fireed in the first minuate alone, and the jetbikes roared bqack into action, attacking the Orcs from above.

OOC:Any links to Eldar Titans stats?

ooc:A: All listed ships are space based not ground based, any attacks would do as much damage to eldar and marine forces as to orks
B: Please clean up your spelling it is very aggravating to try to infer what you mean.
C: Non heavy support eldar weapons do not have the ability to travel hundreds of meters with any accuracy, An SM model is about 2 inches tall and can fire 24 inches, A SM is suppose to be 3 meters tall so could fire 36 meters
You are increasing the range to a near GM amount

OOC:I have no idea about that sort of thing, I don't play Epic, ect. And also if that was true then they'd be better off with muskets and flintlock rifles. They'd be jut as accurate at around4 times the range.

I am dislexic as well, so my spelling ain't great.

ooc: just run it through Word.

OOC:Is should but I've been doing it like this for so long....

So what are Eldar non-Space fighters?

ooc:I've never heard of an eldar atmospheric fighter, of course I'm not an eldar player so they might have them I've just never heard of them.

The Ultramarines, being completly surrounded, sent a message for their allies begging for help.

OOC: I would appreciate if you sent some casualties reports.

Remaining units:
125 marines in tactical squads.
ten terminators
one landraider
one commander

Losses:
fifty assault marines
about 75 marines
two predators
one dreadnaught


About those Eldar planes, they have at least phoenix bombers and vampire raiders.

ooc:I don't keep track of actual numbers but percentage of horde.
The horde is at 1/2 starting strength

OOC:Then the Raiders attack your fighters.

As the fighta bommas blasted and strafed hostile forces one of the eldar raiders guns hit the engine of a bomma causeing it to crash into the eldar lines bounced, and smashed into the raider that had shot it.

OOC:Tau losses 30%ish. I'm sorry but I'm not into the the habit of mentioning many as I go along. I know I should be, so don't moan. Also, sorry to be behind but can you actually do death or glory close combat style? I thought the general idea was to stand there shooting till you go down or they do. Also, I wasn't GMing, who says the 'nids weren't smart enough to get out of the way? So I'll ignore yor GMing, because I wasn't, and Hammerheads are too armoured for one Carnifex to take out more than one without a huge amount of luck.
IC: As the Orca Bombers began their next bombing run, at only half strength, the Captain of the squadron was shot through the head, enraging several pilots into suicide bombing runs at the Orks, their auto-pilot mechanism rapidly being shot out by an Earth Caste member on board each ship. "Don't you just hate how hard these things are to crash?" one muttered, Pulse Carbine spewing blue death into the on-board computers...

OOC: Even I dont know how many nids are left, I make it up as i go along :p !

IC: As the Hammerhead flew away, black smoke and debrey falling behind it, the Carnifex yet again turned it's attention to the Marines. It charged at them but a (what are the rocket launchers again?) missile hit it full on in the chest. Green and purple entrails went everywhere as the beast fell onto its back. But this did not matter, as the larger beast was on its way... The remaining Carnifex fired shots of its barbled strangler, taking down clumps of orcs and venom cannon shots taking down the odd marine.

OOC: I haven't encountered any titans yet, but I do NOT think that using them is fair. If anyone does - GODMODE THEM!!! You CANNOT customise a hammerhead to have blades, that is an eldar/dark eldar upgrade. It is also a skimmer so therefore cannot tankshock! It's gone now anyway! :D

As the kamikaze tau crashed into orks, some crushed the orks, but one bounced off a ork dread and crashed into the forest. The dread used its powerclaw to scratch its 'head' before going back to disembowling marines and blasting guardsmen.

ooc: I agree that titans pleural is GM but not singular, One titan or gargant per force is acceptable. Also I've played against a gargant before and while they're taught they are not unbeatable.

OOC:Tau losses 30%ish. I'm sorry but I'm not into the the habit of mentioning many as I go along. I know I should be, so don't moan.

You can death-or-glory with close combat, you can use any weapon the model used has. And rending claws means that there is a good chance that I could have taken it down.... but it CANNOT tankshock, it CANNOT have customized blades so if it isn't GMing, what is it? Cheating?

Sorry to spam, but if someone knows a way for Tau to do all of the things E-wokia is doing to me, just targeting me, let me know, but at the moment I am right and you are wrong! I did my homework!

OOC: OK, im gonna respond to the Ultramarines

IC: Commander Karit led his force on a new mission: to save the Ultramarine forces. As they appraoched at speed, he raised his power axe, and smashed into the encircling forces at such pace that his sheer momentum carried him forward, adding extra power to his attack. Behind him, a force of Assualt Marines and Bikes crashed into the horde, desperatly trying to reach the Ultramarines...

As the marine bikers smashed against the orks, the ork bikers began an attack run from behind the marine bikes, big guns blasting into the M-bikers as well as doing some damage to the grots who got in the way.

OOC:Tau losses 30%ish. I'm sorry but I'm not into the the habit of mentioning many as I go along. I know I should be, so don't moan.

OOC: OK, I will clear this up, as nobody else seems able to. OK, first, with Death or Glory, the defenders get ONE shot at the front armour of the appraoaching tank/vehicle. If they fail to defeat it, they get crushed by it, ingonoring ALL armour saves, invulnerable or not! THEY DIE, NO QUESTIONS!

Secondly, a Carnifex is a Monstorous Creature, which means it is quite capble of destroying a Hammerhead if it assualts from the side or back. If it assualted the front, then it would most likely batter it, not destroy it, but maybe some weapons systems etc maybe.

Thirdly, if the 'Nids are within range of a Synapse creature, then it is quite likely that they would have the good sense to move, as they would fall back!

Hope thts sorted that

As the marine bikers smashed against the orks, the ork bikers began an attack run from behind the marine bikes, big guns blasting into the M-bikers as well as doing some damage to the grots who got in the way.

A number of bikers fell, the shoota rounds smasing thier armour open. The others turned, bolters blazing, incensed at their brothers deaths. Behid the Ork's, a number of Scout Bikers came into play, catching the Ork's in a deadly crossfire

As the marine bikers turned away from thier attack losing all forward momentum a few mobs waiting to get into combat 'Wagggggh' charged the mbikers while the obikers turned to engage the scout bikers and assaulted them with big shootas blazing.

The searches were no longer giving any usefull information. The rebel tau base had been discovered, already destroyed by some unknown force. The pathfinder teams could only ggo so far and back in one day. The tau would have to go on the offensive.

Pathfinder teams were going out for days on end to try and discover a base. And soon they did discover something. Not a base, but a battle. From a hilltop a battle of many armies could be seen. Tyranids, Marines and Orks. Immeadiately a message was sent back to the empire, asking for back up.

The last two pathfinder teams were on the way in for the last time on their own when they had to stop. On the road below a small mob of Orks was advancing towards the battle. The pathfinders had been given the order to attack small groups of the enemy. The pathfinders, crouched, advanced so they were looking down on the road, took aim with their carbines and rail rifles and fired.

The Ultramarines tried desperately to save themself from the trap, fighting and blasting any ork that stood in their way. Their only goal was to reach the Black angels and the Guardsmen. When some of the orks turned to face the Dark angels bikes, the Ultramarines saw their chance and directed all their power to this weak spot.

Back at the Tau base, things looked good. O'Or'es was in a good mood. The reinforcements were arriving. Kroot and Tau piled out into the base. Now they had an effective army, a small air force and a fleet in orbit around the planet.

As the marines were nearing a brakeout from the ork horde, the 2 battlewagons, somewhat damaged pulled up blocking the weakened area and digorgeing the 2 small mobs who engaged the marines.

ooc:All the orks are either dead or with the main horde, thier arn't any wandering around.
The marines will brake out but they will suffer damage

The marines broke out of the trap, but suffered casualties. Keyes met with the leaders of the Imperial gurad and the Black angels and thanked them for their aid.

OOC: I don't know how a battlewagon look. If someone would tell me, I could write about how my marines got out.

ooc:think big armoured, armed dump truck.

occ : I'll have to go to them then ;)

ic : The message got back. A massive battle. The Tau would mobilize. The base sprang into action. If the arrival of rienforcements had been big, this was enormous. The tau would use there knowledge of the area to get into good firing positions the release hell. The kroot would be reserves. The Tau were ready for war.

Meanwhile, in orbit, the Tau fleet prepeared the orbital bombardment. Aimed at the Orks, it could cause big damage to a lot more. As the Tau army marched ever closer, the fleet unleashed death on the battlefield.

ooc:orbital bombardments would be impossible to accurately target and most likely would hit tyranids, marines, guardsmen, eldar, tau and orks.
Also its GodModeish
Also last time I checked their are marine ships, eldar craft world, and tyranid ships in orbit

OOC: I found a picture using google.


The marines saw the two battlewagons roll up, making it impossible to get out without a fight. Brother Anthony dashed towards the wagons, opened the hatches and threw frag grenades down into the , surely hideous, interior. When the marines were saved he was promoted to brother-lieutenant.
The marines were safe for now, but had taken casualties, of the 125 marines 90 remained.

OOC: to avoid godmoding I haven't written how the battlewagons killed my marines. The Orkplayer can do this if he/she wants.

occ : i mentioned it could damage a lot more. I was hoping more than one person would accept casualties. The tau fleet would be attempting a dangerous move, so anybody who wanted to attack it could. You think it was Godmoding, read below.

ic : The bombardment had hit a large area by any standards. To large, it seemed. One of the two pathfinder teams observing the battle until the main army arrived was blown up. Such is war.

Commander Karit saw that the Ultramarines were safely within the Imperial held zone, and then called an emergency meeting of all commanders, including Captain Templar.

"Brothers, the Ork horde approaches anew. Until now, we have fought as seperate enterties. Now, we must fight as one! I am open to suggestions!"

Many marines had been killed by the orks and now the Tau rained fire from the skies. The Ultramarines, taking cover at once, lost ten men to the orbital bombardment and were calling for reinforcements from the base-camp.

I suggest that we fall bak to new defesive lines and avoid separation at all cost. This battle has proven that despite the fact that the orks were attacked from three (?) sides at the same time they still put up with a hard fight. said Keyes to the other leaders.

As the battle wagons had advance into position and unloaded its cargo, a brave/suicidal marine dashed up and dropped a grenade into the Battlewagon rendering it into a smouldering hulk. As the marines retreat/withdrew throught the pass left by the battlewagons the orks engaged but were taken down but not before inflicting casulites.

As the space hulk and escorts saw the Tau ships blasting at the ground the space hulk opened fire at close range, lances and torpedos smashing into the Tau vessels.

ooc:Where do you find info on tau spacecraft
also I said godmodish, not godmoding

OOC: You'd need to look at the Battlefleet Gothic website

IC:"I agree with Brother-Keyes. We need more structure to our defenses and counter-assualts. We need new structure. My forces are collapsing at the moment due to being over-stretched. We will fight on, but we are weakened. Much of our armour has been destroyed or badly damaged. I have Techmarines working, but it will take time" said Templar

OOC: try us.games-workshop.com/games/bfg/fleets/Tau/default.htm

IC:
Maybe if we all took shelter within the Eldar base we could improve their defences enough to mak the general are safe enought o establish permanent (as long as the war rages) bases on the field.

The tau where in a bad poisition and they knew it. Plenty of the ships blew up on the spot as heavy weapons fire crashed into them. The remaining few turned and ran for it, most cripled but one or two unscathed. The ships fired short bursts of railgun fire, hoping to survive just long enough to get out of harms way.

But there were three more ships. Unable to keep up with the tau fleet, the kroot warsphere had transfered some ground troops before the fleet set off. Now it drifted into view with two tau escorts. This could get messy.

ooc : Battlefleet Gothic: Armardas

Thanks for clearingthings up Snake, if my death-or-glory is felt to be unfair, so is the customized blades.

IC: The new wave of rippers swarmed forward. Someone new had joined to battle. The rippers' senses could not make it who it was but it did not matter - but the hive mind already new of the Tau presence. The rippers attacked the Tau from all angles, most of the little hungry beasts being quickly consumed by gun fire. Then the gargoyles made a move. The sky went black as beating wings filled the sky. Blobs of corrosive acid rained down indescrimitively. The Devourer of Worlds was hungry.
(OOC: the Devourer of worlds is a nick-name for the nids, it's not the secret creature lurking in the jungle, but that's hungry too! I'm just waiting for the right time to deploy it)

The Tau gambit had been dangerous. They had managed to release the bombardment but had taken much damage. The ethereals would not be impressed. Still, thought O'Or'es, it was worth it.

Others were not agreeing. Back at the base, El'malcor had been directing the attack from a holo-projector. He had been against it, but his friend had had his mind made up. Now he was regretting it. His name, malcor, came from Mal'caor, spider, and meant silent one but stealth had not aided him here. His commands had been really odd. Something was wrong with O'Or'es. Perhaps it was stress, or possibly something deeper.

But O'Or'es could not be checked upon. He was leading an army into battle. His friend just hoped he would get out the other side. The space veteran had never wished to be put in a position like this. It was not possible to cope with. His closest friend was possibly going mad, and still he had said nothing. He was going to have to aid in another way. The Barracudas were ready, all they needed were good plans and better pilots.

occ: the actual tau army has not yet joined the battle stuffing-your-face, it is still on the move. When it does, you will definitely know about it.

Can I say that I found the pathfinders or something, sorry, wasn't clear on what you were doing. Oh, and you'll know when the... *ahem* 'thing' comes for its food!

The Vindicare assassin lined up his sight on the carnifex's head. He may not be able to kill it in one shot, but when about 50 shots from other snipers all rained down on it, it would go down.
"If that beast tries anything..." He murmered to himself.

Although the order for the attack hadn't been given, some of the Night Stalkers wanted to get into battle soon. Paleneus had noticed the restlessness in some of the men, and knew he had to launch the attack soon. But he needed more time. He knew something was coming. Something big. He knew this thing would surprise everyone else. He knew he had to do the same to it.
The main thing he worried about was the devastator squads. They were hidden well, but were tempted by some of the shots they could have pulled off. Many vehicles wandered straight past them, all of them enemies, yet they couldn't take them out. They needed to keep hidden for the attack to work.

If the Ing haven't replied by 8 o'clock tomorrow evening, I'll godmod them. It'd be a bit stupid for my guys to suddenly change their minds just because they aren't there. I'll try to be fair (although I have no idea what these Ing are like) though. If they come back afterwards, then I will delete my godmod.

Look, there are 500 Marines out there, not enough to fight a horde this large alone! We need Guard support, and we need it now!" said Karit, his power-armoured fist crashing through the table

ooc:I'm just waiting till either I get attacked by someone or the marines decide what they're doing. Assume the orks are fighting as per normal.

OOC:Assum the same of the Eldar that there standing back and shooting, hoping that, with enough firepower the orc's won't reach them, if an Orc does then the Socorpians and the BAnshees, ect will take his out.

OOC: heres what im picturing, A huge rocky hill filled with my troops, around that for abouta a mile is the charred remains of a jungle just past that is a huge battle plain where all this combat is taken place. if my prediction is right then this is what is i am doing
IC:
Xang-klor Gave the order to charge and all the Kroot rushed down the hill, shooting there weapons at the Orks every once and a while. They could see the beleaugered Space marines and rushed to there aid.

As the kroots charged, the orks near the middle of the hoard turned and engaged the charging kroot in a waggggggh charge of thier own, guns blazing and blasting at the charging kroot.

ooc:about right

THe Kroot Slammed in to the Orkish horde howling and weilding there guns and Knives. Xang-klor leapt upon one ork and with his Halbred he ripped it asunder and then in one swoop he killed two more. All around the sounds of carnage and battle where everywhere. The Kroot in the Rear where firing ther weapons trying to get a good shot at the orks.

OOC: Kroot loses before the charge was at 10% it is prolly now round 15 to 20%

OOC: Sorry, I have been bogged down w/ homework and haven't been able to get on.

IC: Finally sensing a tyranid psychic distress call, hive fleet Marax unleashed waves of spore mines followed by massive amounts of mycetic spores. Millions of spore mines landed on the planet, though most of them landed miles away from the battlefeild. Hive fleet Marax had finally come to the aid of the other hive fleet. As the gaunts emerged from their spores, they saw their prey. They charged toward the Tau, for they would fall easiest to the claws and talons of the swarm.

Look, there are 500 Marines out there, not enough to fight a horde this large alone! We need Guard support, and we need it now!" said Karit, his power-armoured fist crashing through the table

I didn't say we'd fight them alone, I said we would fall back! Once we have strenghtened our fortifications we should request reinforcements. We (you, me and the guardsmen) should also relocate our bases so they form a triangle, that way there's always two armies capable of flanking an enemy.

OOC: My 80 marines have returned to their base-camp and five new squads (fifty men) are arriving in Thunderhawks.

In orbit the two parts of the Tau fleet joined up.The damage had been serious but it was still there. It would have to retreat for repairs but it would come back.

Meanwhile the tyrandids had found the remaining pathfinder team. It stood no chance. It was entirely obliterated but had managed to get one or two shoots off before it was crushed under the tyrandid forces.

One day from Combat

The army marched ever closer. It was going to cause damagge. Little did those under him understand the processes in O'Or'es' mind. He was going mad but he was at the height of his military skill as well. If he could not obliterate the enemy, he would go out with a bang.

OOC:Wheres the Orc Warboss in all of this I'd like to set up a combat between him and Eldrad.

OOC: Sorry, I have been bogged down w/ homework and haven't been able to get on.

IC: Finally sensing a tyranid psychic distress call, hive fleet Marax unleashed waves of spore mines followed by massive amounts of mycetic spores. Millions of spore mines landed on the planet, though most of them landed miles away from the battlefeild. Hive fleet Marax had finally come to the aid of the other hive fleet. As the gaunts emerged from their spores, they saw their prey. They charged toward the Tau, for they would fall easiest to the claws and talons of the swarm.
AT LAST! SOME BACK UP!!!
IC: A group of Night Stalker bikes rode past the forest. Suddenly, a claw flew out of the jungle and took one of the marines off his bike. No one saw as the rear man was devoured by none other than the infamous... RED TERROR!!! It quickly persued the bike squad. It didn't take long for them to notice the monstrocity. They tried to speed away but its huge talons slashed and swept them aside. The only one left was the leader who sped away towards to valley where the main combet was taking place. He hoped the assasin knew what he was doing.....
Meanwhile, several sniper shots penertrated the skull of the balistic Carnifex, quickly killing it. The other was being mobbed down by groups of orcs, yelling at the top of their green lungs.

ooc:Throgg, overall warboss, is in the middle of the horde surrounded by bodyguard.

OOC: What is a red terror? I've never cared much about finding info about the tyranids.

ooc:Throgg, overall warboss, is in the middle of the horde surrounded by bodyguard.
and, due to strange coincidenses, gets killed by a screw that fell off an imperial ship in orbit which landed on his head.... :D Only kinding :D

It's a nid special character, suppossed to be unique. I found one behind a nidish sofa! :p

eldrad watch as Tau fire rained from the skys, he watched as hundreds of Orcs, and a good few of his aspect worriors where killed, blown to peices by the bombardment. He cursed the Tau and ordered his forces back to other defences in the caves that housed the wapon, he knew that no enermy force would be able to force there way through the entrences.

Should he invite his allies into the cave. It was a tricky descision. he needed them to win the battle, but the chances of them seeing eldar technology and deciding to attack the 'xnos' where great. still maybe it'd civillise the mon-keigh.

He sent out a message on Imperial and Tau frequencey

My Allies, due to the Tau bombardment, it is my balif that we are in danger of being dmaged ourselves from our allies fire. Thus I offer you the shelter of our cave system base. I you skirt the battlefeild, or go stright across it, as is possable should the Orcs be confused enough then you should reach the caves safly.

Eldrad.

Karit, Templar and Hanst looked at the message, then at one another. Turning his commlink to helmet to helmet, Karit said,"Do we accept the Xenos offer? We could not defend from there, but the bombadement from the Tau could destroy the horde. Also, we know that Tyranid Hive Fleets and Necron ships have been sighted in the area"

Templar looked at him,"We have forged an alliance with the Eldar, and we could not defeat this Waaaaaaggh! on our own. I believe that we must accept this offer, Brother-Commander"

"And you, Brother-Chaplin?"

"I must concur with Brother-Captain Templar. It is the most stratigically sound choice"

Eldrad ordered his forces to cover the MArines as hey came in and then went down to meet them.

OOC: Was away, again, nowhere near a computer. But don't worry, i am home for the next few weeks!

IC: Ivano's huge form crashed through the tent opening to where the Space Marine commanders were assembled. His once shining armour was coated in foul blood and uncountable holes and scores, marks of a tough battle.
"My brothers, apologies for my lateness, i was - otherwise engaged - shall we say." That explained the blood. "My brothers, i beg you consider the course of action you have chosen. Do you realise the consequences of such an action? To ally with a second Xenos force would be suicidal. The Inquisition is already suspicious of our activities with the Eldar. Collaborating with the Tau could prompt an Excommunicate summons. Would you risk the dignity of our Chapters for such an aid. Brothers, please, for the sake of our heritage and history, do not accept the offer. We may not have many marines, but each is worth ten of the enemy! Most of my marines are alive, and regrouping in the forest behind us. Iron-Preist Ramenov has gathered most of the Heavy Support and Scouts together, but is isolated, yet safe for now, on the other side of the battlefield. Give me one day and word will have reached Grimnar. My men are only the tip of the Wolven iceberg, help will be sent!" The commanders stared in wonder at the elder Wolf, but Ivano was no mind-reader. They had to listen, for reasons they may not understand,. If they did not listen, then very soon thay would understand his words, and it would not be pleasant.

As the marines and guardsmen retreated/withdrew the orks pressed the attack tearing at the feet of the humans. As the eldar provided cover many orks fell before turning to tear into the eldar lines.

As the Tau craft bombarded the battlesite the Ork space hulk and escorts began blasting the Tau ships with massive barrages of lances, torpedos, as well as launching a few Ork Assault Boats, carrying boarding parties.

It's a nid special character, suppossed to be unique. I found one behind a nidish sofa! :p
OOC: It looks like me when I wake up at 6:20 am.

IC:
With all due respect brother, but our forces are not enough to survive another assault by the Orks, and this orbital bombardement could prove more dangerous if we did not take shelter. I believe that our current basecamps aren't enough to provide shelter and we should therefore accept the eldar's invitation.

OOC: What about the poor kroot? oh well I will have to think of somethin

IC:
'Xang-klor gave the order and the Kroot fled form the battle, they ran towards what was left of the emense forest (what thadn not burned to the ground). Orks took advantage of this and slaughtered hundreds of fleeing Kroot

OOC: Kroot loss now :30%

Brothers, this is a problem that has to be addressed. The Black Angels have been in contact with the Inquistion in this time, and I doubt that the Ordo Hereticius will try and eliminate us. But, we must reach a concensus. we either move to the Eldar lines and regroup, or stay out here and get torn down bit by bit, by Ork's and Tau bombadement alike

OOC: I'm asuming that everyone is backing away from the battle now, if not then tell me.

IC: As the Red Terror continued to persue the bike (meals-on-wheels!), a frenzied battle was still taking place. The Nids hissed as the space marines started to retreat, firing as they backed away. To follow them, they would have to get through the sea of green (orks) that lay before them. So they ignored the marines and continued to attack the green-skins, with spore mines continue to drop down from the ally's Hive Fleet.

OOC: Just me and you now!

And nids, dont forget us!

OOC: OH no, I am so sorry.... yeh corse. And just for your info, my marines are falling back, having taken heavy casualties

'Sir, we have received a message from the Eldar offering Imperial troops refuge.'
'So, we are reduced to consorting with aliens,' Hasselhof sighed. 'Still, if needs must. I will turn a blind eye, but I cannot afford to get involved. No, we will continue to pursue the Ing.'
Just then a scout entered.
'Sir, we are approaching the Ing hordes. Shall we attack?'
'Yes. Captain? Issue the order.'
The captain of the Grey Knights switched on the intercom. All troops, prepare to attack. Upon my word, we charge. The foul daemons were now within sight, hurtling towards the Space Marines. (OOC: I'm gonna basically pretend the Ing are no different from the ones in MP2 at this point)
Some of the enemy began to flicker and disappear.
'What the...?' the Captain exclaimed. All troops, engage sound visors! (well, if he's allowed to nick stuff from MP2...) ATTACK!!!
The marines at the front and the first of the Ing clashed violently, as the heavy artillery of the Grey Knights began to rip holes in the foul chaos creations. Hasselhof hurled a firestorm into the melee, taking out several Ing, and then leapt into the battle, psycannon whirling, bolter shells flying.

The Knights had lost many men, but the Ing had lost many, many more. Battle-Brother Jacobus could almost taste victory. He continued to swing his powersword in wide arcs, stabbing, slashing, taking out Ing on every side. Suddenly a flash of dark energy slipped between his feet. He turned, puzzled, to see one of his fallen comrades jerk to his feet and shoot him in the face.

'What's going on?' the Captain yelled furiously. All along the front line fallen men were rising, crackling with dark energy, and turning against their fellows. The marines were struggling enough to cope with resisting the assault from the front without having to worry about being shot in the back. He switched on the transmitter. All troops fall back! Recover as many of the dead as you can. Do not let the Geneseeds fall into the grips of the enemy. Repeat, FALL BACK! The marines at the back began to jump back into the transports, while those at the front desperately tried to prevent the Ing getting at the fallen Knights.

The Ing had lost many, but had gained the bodies of more than 20 Grey Knights. Casualties on the side of the marines were quite severe: 44 battle-brothers and two land speeders lost. In only the first conflict, they had already lost more than 10% of their forces.

OOC: Sorry I haven't been online. Me and him have agreed about what was going to happen at school. I hadn't posted this, but basically I've started the attack, and as some of my bikes rode past the forest they were assaulted by the creature hiding in the woods. The person who escaped was the commander of the group.

IC: Paleneus watched in horror as the bike squad was assaulted by...by...he didn't know what it was. What he did know was that that creature could cost the lives of many more of his men. He had to take it down.
He looked around him, and realised that none of his men were attacking. They were still recovering from the shock.
He leapt out from the spot he was hiding in, and called out: "Night Stalkers! Stop staring in horror at this beast, and shoot the damn thing down!". He noticed his men had stopped staring, and were moving their weapons to aim at the beast. But, since he stood up, the creature had noticed him, and began to move towards him. Too late, he mused to himself, as he heard clicks from all around him as the bullets entered the barrels of their guns.

He pointed his plasma pistol at the beast, and his squad did the same with their bolt pistols. Then, in unison, hundreds of rounds left the Night Stalkers' guns, all aimed at the creature, with missiles from the devastator squads following.

One by one the Tau fleet was being picked off. Soon the remenent was one Hero cruiser which had escaped unhamed (that commander needed a big award), the warsphere and its escorts. They backed away at full speed, the bombarment having become an almost complete failure.

Meanwhile, on the surface the army neared the battle. Behind the ridge infront would be a scene of complete carnage. Units prepared to take firing positions. O'Or'es was ready. He contacted the eldar. "We are sorry of any losses you have taken, our gambit caused more damage to our fleet and our allies then we had expected. I thank you for informing us of the caves. We hope we don't have to use your offer."

Very soon now the Tau would cause death on massive scale.

Back at the base, El'Malcor was readying the Barracudas. He doubted he would use them but if neseccary they would fly, and probably not return.

occ : Next time you hear from me. The command to fire. Hehehe. Watch O'Or'es closely, he could become an intresting example of tau naivety. The "fleet" is no longer bombarding the planet.

The Red Terror saw this shiny morsel of food (the Night Stalkers leader) and started charging towards it, all of its talons raised ready to bring down this foe. But then he saw the bike again, zooming past him. The marine gasped in horror as four talons and a claw came down and grabbed him. The Red Terror, roaring hungrily, brang the unfortunate victim to its maw...
The creature stopped, dropped its prey and turned around. It saw the plasma pistol of Palenus smoking. Roaring with rage it charged towards him again. A hundred sniper bullets hit it full on in the head. :sniper: It was bleeding badly. If it advanced again it would be killed. If it stayed still it would be killed. If it backed away it would be killed and it could not fly. So it travelled in the only possible direction... down! With surprising speed it slammed its claws into the ground and tunnelled away from the bullets.

OOC: If anyone feels that these abilities are unfair - read the rules! The Red terror has the ability to eat things whole and it has deep strike due to its digging abilities - it was said to have dug through solid concrete!

Ivano could hardly believe what he was hearing. If these marines not realising their impending mistake was not enough, he now had negligent Inquisitors at hand. Still, he wasn't complaining, this meant safety and victory could still be achieved. "Very well, brothers, I shall also accept the Eldar offer, if you are sure the Inquisition is in agreement. We shall withdraw to the defences."

He stepped outside to draw a link to Ramenov. "Iron-Priest, are you there?"
"Here my Lord."
"You must move with utmost urgency. All allied forces are withdrawing to Eldar defences to regroup and take cover from the bombardment. You must get yourself and the men out of there as fast as you can. We will wait for you."
"Understood my Lord. What if we do not make it to your position in time?"
"We will wait for you Igor, nobody gets left behind."
"Thank you my Lord, we will leave immeadiately."
"Good Igor. And good luck."

Ramenov knew what had to be done. He gave a shrill whistle and a shout, "Wolves, we must move as if the winds of Chaos were behind us. 16th Company, form up and move out."
Ramenov jumped into the lead Razorback with Long Fang Pack Alpha, and the column tore off through the trees.

Back at Base Camp, Ivano mustered his surviving men together. "My brothers, we withdraw to the sanctuary of the Eldar bases. Do not fear, we have the Emperor's blessing in this matter, we shall suffer no wrath from this. Mount up and prepare to leave. But remember this, we do not leave until Iron-Preist Ramenov and our brothers arrive with us. Wolves, we shall fight another day, this I promise you. Get your gear together, we ride."

All Ultramarines (even those that were stationed at the base-camp) took shelter within the Eldar caves to regroup and get some rest.
Keyes was happy the Space wolves leader had come to his senses.
Didn't he understand that this might be the only chance to investigate why the Eldar were here? Keyes thought as his troops marched down the field towards the Eldar base.

OOC: I take no responsibility for my characters opinions.

As the guardsmen, eldar and marines fell back from battle, the orks turned and opened up on the tyranid. As the main force opened up on the tyranids a few brave/stupid/overly aggressive orks charge forward and dived into the tunnel of the red terror with the goal of killing it.

LOL!!! Needless to say that they never returned!

That's even worse than my marine that threw grenades at battlewagons.

ooc: the orks saw a trophy beast and wanted to claim it. I never said they were smart.

Paleneus moved toward the injured marine, telling the snipers to keep an eye out.
"You fought well brother"
"But not well enough..." He died.

It was sad, to lose those men so easily, but atleast he had more. It was a disturbing thought running through his head, but he had to remember that that was only part of his massive bike squad. They weren't even veterans, yet he still felt compassion for them. But he knew he had to hold it at bay. The other nids would know what had just happened, and once they got away from the Orcs, the Night Stalkers would be next. He had to hope they never got away from the Orcs. But for now, he needed his men to regroup.

He ordered the retreat.

Ivano peered through the binocular goggles towards the forest, keeping an eye out for Ramenov. If the veteran warrior made it through those trees without running into a conflict he would do well, but he trusted the old wolf to avoid the Orks and Tyranids. The rest of the marines had moved out already, only his Wolves remained, minus Venerable Drednought Archaelus, who had lumbered on ahead, knowing his speed was less than the rest of the Company's. He saw movement in the trees, flashes of armour moving fast. Ivano smiled, he knew the Iron-Priest would get through. He grabbed the company transmitter.

"Nice to see you Igor, we are about 1 mile North East of you, any trouble?"
"Good to hear from you Ivano, we have some assembly of creatures chasing us. Not Xenos, i believe they are native. I'll bring them to you."
"Excellent, target practice. See you soon."

"Wolves, prepare to move. Iron-Priest Ramenov is coming in soon, and he's bringing some...... visitors."
The Wolves not in transports mounted up. He saw hatches flick open, and men mount the turret weapons. He watched with keen wolfen eyes towards the edge of the forest. The ground was shaking now, and the dull roar of engines filled the air. Suddenly the front trees burst outwards, the Space Wolf column tearing across the terrain. First came the Razorbacks and Rhinos, closely followed by the Bike Packs. Behind them the Assualt Marines ripped along as quickly as they could. And behind them came the natives; huge dinosaur-like creatures with gaping mouths, snapping at the Marines' heels. The Wolves waiting opened up with unbelievable ferocity and timed accuracy, ripping the creatures apart. The column was less than 50 yards away. Only now it struck Ivano of the impending Tau bombardment, they still had quite a distance to travel to the Eldar defences. He gave the signal and his column swung into motion, and began their dash to safety. They fell in alongside the Iron-Preist's column, and tore off towards the horizon.

As the Black Angels fell back, supported by heavy fire from the Whirlwind artillery, they found themselves still under pursuit. Such heavy losses to a Company was devasating, but it could be rebuilt... friendships could not. As the armoured column moved out, the Rhinos and Razorbacks firing at the Orks, for the first time in nearly a week, Captain Templar allowed himself the luxary of some sleep. It would be sometime before they reached the Eldar caves

Not that anyone else would know, but the Hive Mind shreiked in rage. The Red Terror would not emerge in time to kill anything else. And besides, it would be killed and was too powerfull to waste. The Hive Mind ordered EVERYTHING to attack. If the orks were going to die, they would do it now and hopefully so would these sniping marines too. Hundreds of nids charged out of the jungle. Termagaunts and Hormagaunts ran nimbly towards the enemy, using all 6 limbs. Zoanthropes floated and Gargoyles flew. It was going to be a bloody battle.
:mp5: :sniper: :gundge: :sniper: :mp5: :gundge: (sorry, coudn't resist!)

Eldrad ordered his men only to fire at Orcs that directly threatened the Eldar, he would let the two barbarian armys fight it out and then finish off the remander.

Turning to his second in command he ordered that the Imperial forces and Tau where not to be allowed near The Weapon and that lodgings should be found for them, he also ordered the Imperial leaders and his captains to be fetched and taken to bhis quaters for a council of war.

His quaters were sparten, slightly larger than his mens but still not huge, the only items where a stroage comparcment and a bed, as well as his Rune Armour and weapons.

He sat and waited as the Eldar Captains entered.

Keyes, hearing of the Tyranids attack, ordered his men to fire only in selfdefence. It was better to let the two armies wear each other down and then finish of the surviving than to engage the two when they were still strong.
He also took an hour to rest before he joined Eldrad in his counsel.

OOC: After a fight betwen two great wolves, even a common dog can defeat the survivor - Sun Tsu

Karit, Templar and Hanst arrived soon after the Ultramarine. Nodding at him, they took their seats

Keyes answered their greeting with a subtle, yet graceful nod, he then continued to stare at the wall, his mind meditating over what had happened and what he had done.

As the Tyranids charged forward, the orks opened up with guns on full-auto as they charged forward to meet the enemy. The boys engaging the main Tyranid force while the grots began blasting the ripperswarms to bits.

As the imperials, eldar and others meet, some of the elite ork kommandos attempted to follow them in to evesdrop.

Keyes decided not to worry about the Orks since the Elar surely were capable of taking care of them.

The two squads of striking Scorpians spotted the Orc commandos trying to follow Eldrad into the his quaters and immidetly called for backup before opening fire with there Strunken Pistols, the blades ripped at the delicetly carved Waithbone and ORc flesh, and then the scorpians jumped into action, twenty blade wirring....

Inside Eldrad waited until the Marines and his captins where seated and began to speak, "Freinds, today has been a bloody day, and it may become bloodier as whoever wins the fight betweenthe Orcs and the Trynids wll fight us, even after that we shall have to fight against the Ing."

"So, I have called you here to disguss tactics. Out of all our forces the Eldar have taken the most damge, in casultys at least and I have lost more than 1000 men protecting you. Our forces are weary tired and wounded, as are our enermys, yet the Orcs and the creatures of the Great Devourer will not rest while our forces are still on the feild."

"Thus, I say that we should stay here and defend. This cave system is huge and though we of the Eldar know the system you do noy, and so I am wiring a map to your head sets right now. D not worry about the darkness in the middle, for we have not mapped that part yet." an outright lie, but he told it with ease "The caves, as you can see, have only 3 small entrences and are perfect bottlenecks, over the next few hours I council for us to recuperate and to prepare defences." With that he fell silent.

Given that you have taken many casualties, why not allow one Chapter to cover each entrance? It makes good strategic sense to do this

Keyes thought it very strange that the numerous Eldar hadn't mapped the entire cave system. There was something sinister going on here. He had to discuss this with the other marines.
As you have pointed out, these caves are easily defended. I suggest that we stay here and let the enemy, be it Ork or Tyranid, assault our gates. From here we will most surely drive them of. Then, when our troops are inspired by an easy victory we can push on and cleanse this planet from these foul aliens. No offense meant. he said.

"I agree with both of you, let them destroy themselves first. i shall have lodgings made near the entrences for your chapters and I shall also put several units of Guardians under your command."

As the Grey Knights were recovering from their assault, a scout came into the camp and breathlessly announced,
'They're coming!'
'Damn!' the Captain cursed. 'OK, All marines, battle stations! Fortify the camp! Prepare the gun turrets! Biker squadrons, prepare for a flank attack! You ready for another battle, sir?'
'Always ready to kick some daemon ass, captain,' Hasselhof replied with a weary grin. 'Bring 'em on.'

As soon as the Ing hunters appeared, several Grey Knights floating jerkily at the front, the gun turrets opened fire, riddling the enemy with holes, reducing them to sizzling pools of dark matter. As they hit the walls, a gate around the side opened and a dozen bikes hurtled out, two Rhinos trundling behind. The bloodthirsty Ing instantly turned and converged on their prey, many still being felled by the gun turrets. With a shout of 'For the Emperor!' the knights ripped through the enemy's flank, causing pandemonium. One went down almost straightaway, as he was pulled down into the mess of bodies. The Rhino opened fire (I'm pretty sure I mean Rhino, although I get them mixed up with razorbacks). The front gates of the camp suddenly opened and more than one hundred battle-brothers spilled out, powerswords swinging, rending through the enemy. Hasselhof was amongst them. He shot a bolter-shell sized hole through the head of a particularily large specimen, and his psycannon unleashed a psychic bolt through two more. He fell to the ground as a huge Alpha Ing bore down on him, but with a brief instant of concentrated thought sent a shockwave burst out, hurling it backwards. He leapt to his feet, but the tentacled arms of a hunter Ing flicked him back down. As the second one was about to stab him through the chest, the unmistakeable sound of an autopistol rang in Hasselhof's ears, and a hole exploded in the face of the Chaos filth, felling it instantly. Ace leapt over the prone Hasselhof and finished the foul creature off with a bullet in through its brain.
'Ace! Where have you been?'
'Well, I was forgotten by the guy writing this, when I was replaced in my role as second main character by that captain, but he doesn't even have a name, so I thought it was safe to make a comeback.'

The marines' flank attack had worked, and they had won a decisive victory over the Ing at the cost of very few men. The Ing beat a hasty retreat, and the Grey Knights, having secured the perimeter, returned to the camp.

OOC: Grey Knight numbers now at about 90%. Weeell, you know, the benefits of godmodding. The Ing, which I have now unnofficially taking over, assuming that the Ing (as in the person) has given up on this thread, are at about 65%, 'cos I'm unfair like that. I might do one post from their point of view though. They aren't getting much of a say. Tch, fancy their master abandoning them like that to the cruel world of godmodding. I shall have to adopt them.

Was there something else, or shall we consider this meeting concluded? said Keyes, eager to talk with his fellow marines in private.

OOC: Razorbacks have a turret mounted on top, rhinos do not

"Shit shit shit shit shit shit! Holy Fething Emperor!" Came the muttered shouts from the Rhino driver. Ivano, in the back grinned, he knew the driver well, he wasn't really panicing. The column had almost been caught in between the nids and the Orks, but had got out relatively unscathed, thanks to some foot-to-the-floor driving. The driver's anxiety was minor, only dodging a few Ork Rokkits aimed their way. They were now well out of the Xenos' range, and were approaching a cave entrance. A few marines looked like they were going to attempt to halt the convoy, but obvously thought better and let the 16th pass without hindrance. The transports tore recklessly through the tunnels to the main camp, where, he had been told, Eldrad was holding his meeting. The convoy skidded into various makeshift parking spaces, the Company disembarking to get their kit together. Ivano and Ramenov made thier way towards the tent, only to meet Keyes and the other Marine Commanders emerging.

"Ah, fellow Commanders, we meet at last." Ivano grinned. "What have we missed?"

OOC: I wanted to have my convoy flying into the caves just as the big bombardment/attack thingy was happening, for cinematic drama, but oh well, couldn't drive about in circles waiting for the Tau to fire........ :rolleyes:

We have decided to stay here and rest and wait for the Tyranids and the Orks to annihilate each other, then wait for the survivior to attack our position. The Eldar have provided us with a map of the tunnel system to aid us in the defence. You may, of course, object if you see this decision as unfit.

The tyranids could not carry on much longer. The Orcs (is it 40K or fantasy orcs with a 'c' or a 'k'?) were relentless - they would not stop! Time for a change of tactics. Everything stopped. They turned and ran towards wherever it was the Marines were retreating to. Pretty soon the Orcs/Orks would follow.

OOC: They two great wolves are gonna include the common dog in THIS battle!

Sorry to sound like an idiot, but wtf are the Ing?

OOC: 40K = Orks, Fantasy = Orcs

As the Tyranids chased after the marines the orks chased after the Tyranids with guns blazing and bellowing "Waggggggggh".

The Command To Fire

The positions were ready, it was perfect. Pathfinders had taken forward positions and the Tyrandids were already under markerlight target lock. Aiming for the big targets (although not necessary hitting), every one fired. Railguns, Ion Cannons, Pulse weaponry, everything at the 'nids. Salvo after slavo hit, crahing into the monstrosities.

occ: there is quite a lot their. The raiguns especially will cause amazing damage if they hit. The markerlights improve the chance of hitting greatly.

200 Ultramarines were stationed at their designated tunnel ( If nobody object, it is the west one). The heavy weapons were flamers and heavy bolters, with the flamers up front. If the enemy rushed inside the tunnel they would meet a wall of fire, followed by a curtain of bolts.

OOC: this particular dog is a 100 kilogram, powerarmoured, armed, bloodthirsty, vicious beast who just wont retreat.

Eldrad watched as the Marine Commanders left and then walked into a smaller room on his left, here all the Eldars survalence equipment was stored. Followed the Marines through the corrodors, turning the volum up so he could hear what they said then he moved to watch the unfolding battle. He knew that the Marines would hold, for the time being at least. His men could rest.

Karit looked at this fellow commanders,"Theres something that he isn't telling us. They are hiding something in that area, and it is most likely that which drew them and us here in the first place"

I think so too. Allthough it would be best to discuss this somewhere where we cannot be overheard or spied upon quite so easily, after all, we're just outside the conference room. A good place would be the west tunnel. If the walls have ears, they'll be deaf because of the gunfire that will start any minute now.

Eldrad sighed, they had seen through his lie, he ordered that the inner sanctum of the caves be more heavly guarded and fortified, just in case.

It does not matter unduly. Although, I would like to know what is happening on this planet

It does seem strange that two craftworlds would randomly occupie a backwater planet. Equaly strange is that they haven't mapped all caves. I don't trust that lying xeno one bit.
Once the Orks and the Tyranids are taken care of, we should ally ourself with the Tau and turn on the Eldar, discovering what it is that they are hiding. It would be wise to contact the Inqusition.

Yet more interference! The next wave of nids moved with stealth. The Tau were concentrating on what was in front of them, not sneaking up behind. Genestealers and lictors crept forward slowly, mouths smiling menicingly.

What Are The Ing?!?!?! Can someone please tell me, they're not doing anything anyway. Also, the necrons seem to have ran off back to where they came from! Good ridance! Stupid godmoding little.....

Sorry about spamming, but I would just like to say that you imperial are lucky - you get a conspiracy to deal with when all get is people trying to kill me! it's not my fault that Nids get hungry!

I have already made contact with an Inquistor, who has requested the Grey Knights. I believe we may be involved in something far bigger than we first imagined. As for the Tau, there are some radical factions. The only ones who appear trust-worthy are those of the sept of Sa'cea, if they are still alive

OOC: Stuffing-your-face: I take it you've never heard of personal messages. What if I were to tell you that everyone here is a member of a conspiracy, whose only goal is the utter annihilation of the Tyranids? My suicide bomber, the Orks, that Iguana-guy (never remember his name) that injured your red terror, the Tau: the pieces seem to fall together now, don't they? Guess who's in charge...

IC:
We should send scouts to look for surviviors as soon as the situation is a bit less hostile.

I could have Unrelenting Fury take some orbital pictures, I'm sure that would help

Though it would be dangerous considering all the other ships in orbit, and I adwise you not to, I would be very grateful if you did as it would save us a lot of time.

The kroot reserves were calm. Their had been no frontal assualt and the fire of there employers was being effective. They were on the defensive but they hadn't yet been attacked. Krootox grunted and the hounds were restless, they wanted blood.

occ: were are 'nid casualties? :confused: I must have scratched something. Also i am going to post a thread for another 40 K open roleplay introducing rules for an army i have designed. More information soon.

OOC: Sorry about not posting...when I was online there were no posts here for ages, then after a day of school there are three whole pages (I spent the weekend checking this and there were about 3 new posts in total after mine)

Anyway...

IC: The Night Stalkers saw the nid charge, and knew they had to get out of there. Paleneus gave the orders for even the snipers to move, whereas in a normal battle they would keep their position. They wouldn't have made it, but luckily the space marines opened fire on the nids.

"Fools," He thought to himself, "Damn useful fools. I hope they hold them off long enough at least. Once we regroup I'll order the next attack. They wont know what hit them"

The Jungle was rutted wiht Huge marks, left by the Tau bombardmen. Slowly but surly the Kroot Army gathered together. Xang-klor looked around and Decided to lead his troops in a search for their allies.

If there is some kind of conspiracy (btw, Iguanas isn't on in it, we aranged the Red Terror wounding) then I am gonna GODMODE YOU ALL TO WERE YOU CAME FROM! As it is, i doubt that's true. Also, you can take casualties for granted. You shoot something, it dies, woopy doo! You dont need constant reminders that you've killed somthing! Take it for granted. I'll inform you of any major changes to my numbers, as it is I have infinity waiting in the forest until I decide somthing else. BTW, the marines apear to be trapped in a cave system, with a conspiracy going on inside and orks and nids coming to pay a call.

OOC: Dude, you are way to paranoid! Calm down, he/she is just winding you up! I for one am not out to get you

Ivano and Ramenov surveyed the scene with interest. Inside these caves they could not draw a link to the Wolven ships in the system, so for now they were very much alone. Ivano ordered what men he had to form a barrier in the Northern tunnel. His Wolves still had about 80 troops left, plus a reasonable selection of vehicles, they could fight effectively, but only for so long. "Ramenov, ask around to see if some of the other Marines will support us here, we may need their help, as they may need ours." Ivano, being a Space Wolf, still did not trust the Eldar, and would feel much more secure with other Marines in the tunnel with him. The Xenos' plans were not complete, there was trickery afoot, and Ivano did not like trickery. One of the Eldar nodded at him as he walked past it. Ivano's fingers closed around his pistol. No Xenos would catch him off guard. But for now he had to put up with the aliens, for the good of all. For now.

--Western Tunnel--

Scout Sergeant Kyo approached the Marine Commanders' council, knowing he was meeting men vastly his superior.
"My Lords, Wolf Lord Ivano Wolfenstein has a request if you will hear it," said Kyo, speaking over the noise,"He wishes one of your noble Chapters to assist in the defence of the Northern tunnel, to act as equals alongside the Space Wolves in this battle. He does not mind whom, as he is sure of each Chapter's steadfastness and devotion to duty. I await your replies, take as much time as you require."

OOC: Dude, you are way to paranoid! Calm down, he/she is just winding you up! I for one am not out to get you
I know, sorry, just, well yeah I am paranoid. it was also a warning not to do anything like that as well! BE WARNED!!!

OOC: Yeh, Stuffing-Your-Face, don't worry about it, it was only a joke. None of us are out to get you, it wouldn't fit with the story. Anyway, everybody, less of the spamming(including me), and lets get on with the story......

"The remainder of the 2nd Black Angels will bolster your defences. Tell Ivano that we will be along shortly," said Templar, nodding at Hanst as he did so

Not a lot I can say anymore apart from: THe Nids kept luring the Orks towrds the cave system while the rest of them crept up on the Tau, waiting to atack

Kyo nodded, "Many thanks, Commander." He quickly made his way to Ivano to tell him.

Ivano smiled, some good news at last. 'Excellent,' he thought. 'The Black Angels are fine marines, we shall fight well alongside each other.'

The 2nd Company moved through the tunnnels, their armour groaning under the effort. Hanst led them into the Space Wolf area,"Black Angels are here, Brother-Ivano"

Kroot Rushed to see the Battlefeild empty. No life,no genes to pass on. The Kroot forces wandered for quiete a bit before making a camp on the other end of the battlefeild. Xang-klor remebered the crude communication device he gave to the imperial commander and used it
"Imperials, are you there?"

The Warboss, having fought tyranids before, senseing that something was off gave the order to halt the charge and to just blast the fleeing tyranids. Some of the more aggresive/rebellious orks continued to chase the tyranids but most just stopped and began unloading round after round into the tyranids.

In response to the question "Who ARE these crazy 'Ing' type fellers?'

Their original owner has this to say about them:
OOC: I'm a big W40k fan. I especially love the backstories. I'm also a fan of the Ing from MP2. I decided to take the basic, shallow template provided by MP2 and turn the Ing into something more. I've thought about how to encorporate the Ing into the W40k universe, while still allowing them to be unique. I've come up with a lot involving the universe, so don't worry...this will be a fun thread.

And this is apparently how it all started:
"These Ing will be our new begining." the Emperor said, "They can jump from host to host, they can exist in the Material Universe as they are, and they can lead you in battle. Remember, Horde, we must not fail this time. The Young Races must pay. The Universe must pay! They warped us with their thoughts, now we shall warp them with our bodies.

It shattered. The Veil shattered. It had held for billions of years. It had protected the Material Universes against the Horde. But now, it was gone. The Warp stood before the Ing Horde of Akadzas. The Material World beyond it. They could see a great battle ensuing. The scraps of which would prove to be a fine army.

"Infest the dead, young Ing." the Emperor said, its tenticles raising themselves above the Horde, "Hunters: seek out their leaders and take them. I do not care if they are dead or alive; infest them and make them our own. Our new Ing, our Alpha Ing, shall fight! Onwards! Onwards to our Destiny!!!"

The Horde rose, with 50 of the Alpha Ing in the lead.

However, just as the Grey Knights were about to hunt them down so they could get involved in a proper battle, the Ing were cruelly abandoned. Fortunately, a kind stranger, Nyibbit, came along and adopted the poor guys, before totally and utterly godmodding them into the place from whence they came. They might soon be destroyed.

OOC: OK, I'm sorry. The conspiracy-thing was just a bad joke. I never imagined you would take it seriously.

IC: Keyes turned to the leaders of the Black angles and said:
As your forces are already weakened, maybe it would be best if the Ultramarines aided the Space wolves instead. I do not doubt your willingness to serve the Emperor, nor do I doubt your combat ability, but considering number we are the ones who should divide our strength.

"The 2nd Company still has enough strength left to fight this war! We have taken more casualties than any, as we were first on the battlefield. But, we fight on. We are not afraid of death, nor will we fail in out honoured duty," said Templar, glancing at Keyes, the blue eyeslits in his black helmet gleaming in the light,"However, I do see your point. I have requested that the remainder of the Company be dispatched at the next avaliable launch window, so it may be some time. The 3rd Company will take the remaining tunnel, and we shall provide them with fire-support. Many thanks brethern for your support"

Keyes sent a group of Ultramarines (100) to aid the Space wolves

ooc: This is how I see the field please tell me if it is how you see it too:
Eldar, Marines and Guardsmen in the tunnels/cave, Tyranids between Orks and caves. Kroot off to the side of the Ork hoard.

As far as I know that's correct.

Templar watched as Hanst led the assembled brethern in evening prayer. Karit stood by him,"Brother-Captain, how do you percieve the mens morale?"

"They are strong Brother-Commander, the mood is one of excitement and nerves"

"I have spoken to Brother-Libarian Tigra, he believes that the Eldar prescense could be linked to the Fall"

"A resonable conclusion."

Karit looked out the tunnel entrance, past the remaining armour and heavy weapon emplacements. In the distance, he could see the Ork horde fighting for survival against the Tyranid swarm. Xenos against Xenos. Whoever wins, we will be fighting them next

Templar looked at the commander, resplendent in his Terminator armour. The 3rd Company, despite being an Assualt company, was capable of long-standing battle, a war of attrition. He looked at the setting sun, feeling the last rays of light beaming onto his battered power armour. He should take it the Techmarines as soon as he could,"I am going for repairs. Hanst is in command in my place"

"Farewell"

Eldrad listened and smiled, the fools where onto him, he would let them take the brunt of the fighting and then, where many of them where dead, he would fall on them like a wolf falls on its prey. He didn't want to, but, to protect the weapon he had to.

Maybe though, just maybe he could get some of the Imperial Guardsmen to join him, especcially those young troops, what was it they called them? The Whitesheilds? He couldn't rember. But just maybe, if he sent on of the Young one to be stationed next to them, the Imperials would join him. He spoke hastly into his mouthpeice contacting his son, who was only young, not yet a full man in the years of the Eldar, and order him and his unit to be posted next to the young guardsmen.

OOC: Little harsh

OOC: Little harsh
OOC:Clever though

ooc:I can't do anything until the tyranid player comes back because:
A: he's between orks and marines
B: the orks are shooting the tyranid not chasing them anymore
C: Im surprised the marines havn't opened up on the tyranids.

OOC:Clever though


OOC: ONly if we turn on you. Eldar sterotype too much And bte Theao, I will open fire... when I see fit. And not before

Xang-klor tried once agian at contacting the Black angels

"Imperials are you there?!!?!"

Xang-klor tried once agian at contacting the Black angels

"Imperials are you there?!!?!"

The vox channel blinked in Karits eyepiece. He studied the encryption, it was Kroot. He opened a channel,"This is Commander Karit of the Black Angels. I assume you are Shaper Xang-klor? What is the problem?"

Keyes had gone to the chapters librarian, Julius, to speak about the coming battle, the Eldar and what was to be done to them.
I sense that there's something more to this than what we see. Although I have no idea as to the nature of this threat I do give you this advice: beware of the Eldar. Their presence here is utterly disturbing and you would do well to stab them in the back before they stab you. the librarian answered.
Keyes already knew all this and he kept thinking of all these questions all the way to his private quarters.

OOC: What powers (that can be used in combat) do a librarian have?

" I have Gathered my forces, We have Crossed the Battlefield and we connot find you, Where are you?"

OOC:Only if you do, but it would be unwise to do so now, as you'd be outnumbered, and the Eldar are content to use you as a sheild.

Wheres the Guard player?

OOC: What powers (that can be used in combat) do a librarian have?
ooc:librarians can use the SMITE power which is a (range 12" strength 4 ap2 assault1/blast) autohit.

Ivano checked his pistol again, fully loaded, cleaned out. Not that he would use it, unless he had to. His two axes lay within arm's reach. Loki and Nori, his closest companions in battle. They had hewn thousands of enemies in Ivano's lifetime, from when he was a boy back on Fenris. He sighed, doubting he would ever see Fenris again, its white peaks and dark wolves. But that was why he was here, to protect it. From whoever stood in his way. The Ultramarines and Black Angels both had sent troops to help him, those he could trust. The Guardsmen were yet to be fully deployed. Them he was unsure of. Their officers were unbelievably loyal, but the men not so, especially the younger ones. He would keep an eye out, they were like the Eldar, weak and corrupted.

Kyo checked his sniper rifle again, full well knowing there was nothing wrong with it. His 4 Scouts were assembled around him, each in their own preparation rituals, as they were before any battle. Kyo's sharp scout ears caught a faint noise coming from a Black Angel camp. Rustling, crackling ...... a voice! Kyo rushed over, pushing weapons and ration packs aside, searching for the source of the noise. He found what he was looking for. It was a crude looking device, poorly constructed. He knew enough however to know it was some sort of transmitter. Then the voice came again, "Imperials, are you there?" Kyo raised a sceptical eyebrow. Was it a trick? No harm in trying anyway.
"Hello, this is Scout Sergeant Kyo of the 16th Space Wolves, who am I speaking to?"

do you people have nothing better to do than to talk about warhammer, which is quite possibly the nediset thing ever next to startrek.

it makes me sad to think there are people lame enough to actually play that stupid game...thing... not to mention writing books about it. with story lines and, um... YOUR ALL GAY

OOC: Sorry, didn't see that the other Marines had already replied to the Kroot :headbang: . Should I delete the above, or can anybody develop it anyway?

Oh. and Communsia, or whatever you're crap name is. How should I put it..................Fuck off. That should do. Have you got nothing better to do than annoy people just becaude you have no friends to talk to? Real mature of you. By the way, you met the moderators yet, cos you're about to :D
