Frastus checked the charge on his lasgun before making sure it had an armed round in it, peering around for the Astartes. He strode up to the Colonel slowly, yawning and scratching at his mask. Tapping his vox before staring at him and speaking.
"Positive encouragement! Leave the lectures for the Astartes prayer-boys and the Comissars. Only lecture them on killing civies, which there are many out here." He peered around into the snow and sighed.

'I'd love to encourage him, i really would. But this idiot has had nearly 14 stern warnings before this. I think they were all about his clumsiness. so i decided i'd bring my foot down. next time, hes for the legion.' Kal peered through a window nearby. one of his storm troopers was sweeping the building, checking for straglers. 'Thats what a real soldier does. never lets his guard down and serves the emperor like theres no tomorrow.' Kal looked at the sky. 'and there may not be for some of them.' he looked back at frastus. 'still, nothin like a good meal to get the spirits up eh?' he turned to a ratling, who was setting up a small canteen table. 'Bring out the fresh stuff- save the ration packs for later. we are gonna need our energy.' the ratling nodded, then ducked out of sight. Kal shivered. he then turned away and walked to captain rein. 'So whats that backup of ours gonna be like eh captain? Black armoured marines decending from on high to purge the xenos? Or one or two litanary preists and a fancy helmeted captain with a few hundred purity seals?'

(As You Wish)
Rin looked at the colonel and said. "The Chaplain-" Several lictors burst from hiding, attacking the imperials. Rein jumped at the nearest one, voxing "Chaplain! get down here now!"

"Tyranid Hostiles! Lictor Genos, concentrate fire on the one at the rear!"
The heavy stubber sprayed a line of fire into the Lictor Brood, having swapped to Armour-Piercing rounds the Lictor's tail and one arm fell to the ground, before the weapon sweeped over to clip the legs of another near the Colonel. The shooting paused, but by the time it did the guardsmen were in position. The snap-crack, snap-crack of lasfire brought down two Lictors and wounded a third, before another brood burst out of the snow. Guardsmen suddenly fell apart or burst as if attacked by rending claws when there was no Lictor within range.
"By the emperor, it's th-"
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The Deathleaper genos carved through the squad before disapearing into the snow, effectively invisible. The Hive Mind was satisfied the guardsmen's morale was destroyed.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"Sir! We're down to fourteen men!"
Frastus let loose several grenades into the swarm before falling back to the Astartes and Colonel, regretting his immediate charge. In the retreat another Lictor was killed, still leaving plenty left to kill.

Kal shot the nearest lictor in the face. Something muffled was shouted into the radio, but he didn't catch it. He threw an axe into the nearest lictors leg, causing it to topple over. Kal jumped on it and sliced its head in two with his poeraxe. picking up his fallen throwing axe, Kal watched the lictors moving back, then looked up as the sound of retro-boosters filled the air. 'About time.' he muttered.

The imperials heard two massive roar, and turned to see where they had come from. The main swarm was arriving, with two carnifexes at the head. "Deathwatch! cover!" Rein yelled, sprinting to meet the first 'fex as it roared at him. Rein had a melta bomb in one hand, his pistol in the other, and began shooting plasma to anger the creature. The Tyranid mostrsity charged him, and he jumped. The Deathwatch captain extended his melta bomb, and the carnifex bit down, taking half of his arm with the explosive. The bomb detonated, killin the Crnifex and Rein sttod up, thanking Gulliman that he had been sensible enough to use his augmetic arm to bait the monster. Rein drew his sword, one handed, and fough off several hormagaunts that attacked him. the second carnifex roared and Rein yelled in to his vox - "CHAPLAIN! DROP NOW!"

Heavy stubber fire tore up the remaining Carnifex, before stopping as it had very little effect. Asharn turned the stubber toward the nearest Lictor, shooting it up before losing his head to rending Claws.
"Damnit! Stubber fire won't work on this one! First rank, fire! Second rank, fire! For the Emperor!"
Frastus took a bundle of grenades and hurled them at the carnifex, taking out a sizable portion of it's chest. Out of it's large fleshy gun, a large seed flew through the air and burst open, sending out stranglethorns and forcing several guardsmen to the ground.
"Strangler! Scatter and fire at the Lictors, the Stormtroopers'll take that thing!"

Kal looked at the strangtlethorns as they flew over the frag brigade. 'Men! raly to me!' he shouted. he ordered a fire on the carnifex, plasma guns and melta guns damaging it, but not killling. 'Whilst its weakened! Forward to me!' Kal ran towards the weakened monster, power axe swinging as he did. he fought the beast at close quaters for a long while, eventially hacking through its neck. suddenly, a blast of green gas caught Kal in the back. he collapsed to his knees. he turned his radio on. 'Frastilus old freind... take command. I can go no further. Look out for my men.' Kal collapsed to the floor, quite still.

Rein look back t the smoking corpse, and saw parts of it regenerating. The (please do not swear) creature stood up, roaring in a mix of pain and anger. He looked up, and saw two drop pods in high orbit. His brothers. Rein yelled into the vox "Brothers! Guardsmen! With me!" The imperials charged into the swarm protecting the Carnifex as it regenerated, taking the hive mind's attention away from the incoming drop pods.

Vesuvius Waited coldly as the drop pod he was using veered from where the captains signal was coming from. "No one orders us like petty warriors." He chuckled to his fellow deathwatch. Laughs of approval could be heard over their vox.
"the mission we are on is to clear the subterranean tunnels that run rank with tyranid digging creatures." Vesuvius briefed. "We are to make our way to the mountains afterwords; chapter librarians say there is a heavy shift in the warp there. probably some tyranid command beast. we might need help. MIGHT... so we will rendezvous with the captain (if he survives without his precious chaplain) once we find the Trygon Prime and bring it down." The drop pod impacted on the surface hard and the holding harnesses released.
Chaplain Vesuvius powered his Powerfist on and drew his symbol of power. With me my brothers! he yelled as His squad formed up on him, drawing thier weapons. They stood face to face with a large open hole in the ground. "this, is going to be fun..." He chuckled.
(more when i get home, power was out yesterday)

ooc- forgot about squads. I have 9 vangaurd veterans with jump packs, bolt pistols and powerswords, all grenades.
ic-Harry jumped out of the other drop pod, along with the rest of his squad. He spottde vesuvius, not 10 metres awa from him. 'Vesuvius my brother! I'll give you a bet. I'll get there first, and if you can get there before i finish the beast off you can have the kill.' Harry kicked in his jump pack, signalling for his squad to do the same, rocketing skyward and crashhing into the swarm fighting captain rein and frastus. harry landed on the regenerating carnifex's back, thrusting with his powersord and peircin the creatures back armour.'

Flamer fire brought down several hormagants, before another cluster was mowed down by stubber fire. The snap-crack, snap-crack of lasgun fire was heard amidst the fighting, occasionally bringing down hormagants or the odd gene-stealer. Kair checked the charge on his lasgun, before hurling it to the ground and charging.
"Frag this! Cover me!"
Frastus ran to the corpse of Kal, picking it up and slinging it over his shoulders before grabbing the axe from the ground. After he put the corpse in a safe location he charged the carnifex, grabbing a part of it's carapace and clambering onto it's back, where he was thrown around a lot before he drove the axe into the carapace violently, before wrenching it to the side, out again and then back in. He continued doing this until a sizable hole was made that wouldn't regenerate instantly, taking his last frag grenade bundle and dropping them inside the beast. The resulting explosion sent splinters of bone, carapace and gore flying out of the wound and Frastus into the snow near the Space Marines.

(You do realize the deathwatch isn't a chapter right? They are the orders militant of the Ordo Xenos, and they follow the commands of their captains and inquisitors. Meaning if you are deathwatch, you are under my command)
Rein walked to the chaplain, saying "The inquisitor formed me of your mission as well. It is considered secondary to capturing the relics, some of which might aid us in killing the trygon. You and harry will scout ahead, while me and the guardsmen set up a camp here. Try to find a way to get to th inquisitorial base, and if you find a way to the trygon, let me know, and we will assault together."

Looking up from the snow at Rein, the guardsman hauled himself up and grunted something about Space Marines, shaking his head slowly. Picking up his lasgun and slapping in a new charge, he waited for the cursory "Armed" light showed up on it before fixing it in. He then turned to shout at someone in the distance before facing Rein again, slowly.
"Vox-man! Tell me where the sacred Terra is Shruan!?""
He called the twelve survivors of his own squad to him and the six stormtroopers remaining, tucking his lasgun away and picking up the Power axe he vaguely remembered clinging onto in the blast.
We've suffered heavy casaulties within the last fifty seconds, Astartes. Incase you haven't noticed, we're not damn equipped for a stand up fight here. I came prepared for room to room clearance under a clear snarl-up of orders somewhere! Now unless the Emperor, ever vigilant in his glory and ever shining in his light delivers us a heavy bolter from Terra itself within the next hour or so, we're dead, Astartes or no Astartes..."
