  6. A Story of Death or Victory- Angels of the XIXth Legion, Raven Guard Chapter 6 I can not tell you how long I was in my room reading the books and dataslates. The room was decent size and I had a servitor bringing me food. I rested briefly and would resume working. I reviewed all of it, going back and forth between book and data slate. Taking notes. Book after book. Dataslate after dataslate. Reading and rereading. Then review it from another book or dataslate. Constantly. I must have read the 30 plus books and dataslates 5 times each. But I never left my room. There was a knock on the door, and suddenly I was hungry. It was like every time the servitor showed up I got hungry. Like the story of the old Terran physiologist Ivan Pavlov's experiment with the canine. I hope I was not an experiment. "Enter," I responded regaining my composer. "Remembrancer Landon Mar-Garet, greetings," said Chaplain Luang Pu stand at the door of my room. "I hope you don't mind the interruption but I figure you were hungry and would like to see someone other than a servitor, since you been in your room for a week," he continued. "7 days......I had no clue," I exclaimed and stood up. " Let's eat and go for a walk then," Chaplain Luang Pu said. "That sounds great," I said. I looked at the meal, Chaplain Luang Pu, brought for me. It was a tray of meats, fruits, and vegetables along with a cold cravat of a creamy, sweet, and spiced milk tea. Chaplain Luang Pu explained that tea and food was similar to what was served by his tribesman back on Terra as he took a sip from his glass. The tea was delicious. The creamy sweetness of the orange tea and helped accent the salty taste of fish and assorted dried meats. The fruits and vegetables were ripe and amazing. I was holding a reddish brown fruit that seemed to have a leathery shell. "That is a Lychee, you need to peel the shell. The insides are like a grape," Chaplain Luang Pu said as he grabbed one and peeled the skin away, showing the translucent white flesh inside. I mimicked Chaplain Luang Pu peeling the Lychee and at the fruit from the shell. I was shocked in the moistness of the fruit. "Chaplain, why are you here," I asked. "Because you have been holed up here for a week. And I need to check on your spiritual and mental well being. Plus I figured you would like to share a taste of my home. While we are both Terrans, I'm from Yndonesic Bloc and you are from Albia," said Chaplain Luang Pu, as he peeled another Lychee fruit. "Albia, Dusk Raiders, Death Guard, that's what that was," I jumped up frantically going through the dataslates. Chaplain Luang Pu gave me a puzzled look. I read a line that was trivial but I had read it in various books. I grabbed a dataslate and ran with the thought running through my head. And there it was. "The principal components of volcanic gases are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur either as sulfur dioxide (SO2) (high-temperature volcanic gases) or hydrogen sulfide (H2S) (low-temperature volcanic gases), nitrogen, argon, helium, neon, methane, carbon monoxide and hydrogen," I read aloud. Pyrefall is volcanic furnace world dotted with open-pit mines and the forge-prisons they feed. The Warmaster is sending XIVth Legion to engage us, not the IVth Legion at Pyrefall. It is strategic move to goad XIXth into an open conflict. Iron Warrior Warsmith Hector Carnifex, is in system. And after the Battles of Khymara, I would not put it past him to help build a trap to contain the XIXth and use the XIVth to do so. A Prison world needing liberation. Atmosphere beneficial for the XIVth Legion. Given enough time, the IVth Legion could set amazing trench works for the XIVth to use against us," I say as begin looking for a map of Pyrefall. "Look here, these connect the mines to forge-prisons and other mines and more forge-prisons. It is an established trenchline 2 to 5 meters deep about 10 meters wide and running the entire length of Pyrefall. If the IVth got here sooner than us. They could possible stage resupply areas here, reinforce here, and create traps here. The XIXth can't allow the IVth and XIVth Legions to take the prisoners hostages or turn them against the Emperor so it must be open war in the trenches, a show of force, like the Primarch Corvus Corax would want. Rescue the Slaves, Destroy the Oppressors. But that is a suicide," I continued to ramble on. "Remembrancer, I think it is time we took a walk," Chaplain Luang Pu said to me.

  10. A Story of Death or Victory- Angels of the XIXth Legion, Raven Guard Chapter 5 The 2 XIXth Legion Whispercutters approached the rear of the Stormbird Surat Thani, a Warhawk VI Pattern Stormbird, for a combat high speed extraction. The Warhawk VI Pattern Stormbird is larger than the more common Sokar Pattern and has been serving Praetor Ya Ksha and his clan for multiple decades as part of the Yndonesic Bloc during the Unification Wars on ancient Terra. Surat Thani was performing aerial command and control duties, retrieval, and Med Evac for for the XIXth Legion forces on the ground led by Praetor Ya Ksha and take them back to the fleet in orbit. The rear landing bay was open and the Whispercutters flew in at speed and landed on the deck in the cargo hold. The injured were being triaged as the rear decks closed. Praetor Ya Ksha looked like a nightmare come true. His Black and white Armor was covered in blood, guts, and ichor, none of it was his own. He waved off an apothecary as XIXth Legion Chaplain Luang Pu and I, Remembrancer Landon Mar-Garet approached him. "My Lord, Knight-Centra Alyssah Respus, is awaiting you in the ready room, as you have requested," Chaplain Luang Pu. "Sgt Rom Ran, Sgt. Charn Chai, check on your wounded and meet us in the Ready room," yelled Praetor Ya Ksha. We entered the room, and I was immediately hit with the nauseousness, I felt in Knight-Centura Alyssah Respus's presence. If she had the same effect on the Adeptus Astartes with me, they made no gestures that it did. Her armor, was a polished dark metallic in color which stood out against the flat black of the XIXth Legion Armor. Her paragon blade was sheathed across her back, restricting her purple cloak from moving. It was almost as tall as she was. Her red hair and pale skin was always focal point. She began "speaking" with her hands in battle sign. "Greetings, Praetor Ya Ksha. I am glad to see the battle did not fell you. I understand that you wish to speak to me about something you saw or witnessed?" translated XIXth Legion Master of Signals Pa El said as Knight-Centura Alyssah Respus signed. "Well met, Knight-Centura. We encountered Traitors from the XVIIth Legion. Sgts and their squads encountered something that is under your prevue, so I will defer that to them. I fought and slayed the enemy warlord and watched as his body disappeared. And then called for retrieval," said Praetor Ya Khsa. "Remembrancer, please leave us. You will be briefed later," said Praetor Ya Ksha to me. "Yes my lord," I responded as I left the ready room. I could feel the Surat Thani begin to climb and the force of the acceleration as engines reaching full power. It was hours later, when I was summoned to meet Praetor Ya Ksha in the arming chambers on the Shadowed Guardian, an Adeptus Astartes Battle Barge of the XIXth Legion, flagship of the 707th Expeditionary fleet. A Battle Barge is the largest ship in an Adeptus Astartes fleet, and can hold Multiple companies of Adeptus Astartes plus their Support. I have been on Shadow Guardian many times over the past few years now and have not been allowed to fully explore it. I am assigned to the Blade of Midnight Light Frigate along with the other Remembrancers and that is where my room is. I have a shared sleeping quarters on Shadowed Guardian with the other Remembrancers, I believe there is 6 or 7 of us sharing the space. "Remembrancer Landon Mar-Garet of Albia, Terran Born. Novelist" Chaplain Luang Pu said almost introducing me to someone but I did not see anyone I was not aware of. Chaplain Luang Pu was in his black training Tunic with the white Raven Guard Logo and XIXth beneath it. Standing next to him in a semi Circle around him was Seeker Sgt. Rom Ran, Assault Squads Sgt Charn Chai and Veteran Sgt Naksu Mastexr, Centurion Yut Hakon, Master of Signals Pa El, and Brother Ruexbrr Thuk-Naman, an Armored Support tank commander. Praetor Ya Ksha stood in the center of the semi circle. They were all dressed the same. And then she walked into the room, Knight-Centura Alyssah Respus, fully armored. I felt nauseous again. She looked at me, as if she was staring through me to my soul. I am not a psychic or I do not think I am. "Remembrancer, do you know why I specifically chose you to be here," asked Praetor Ya Ksha. "No, my Lord." I responded as I grimaced in pain. "You serve 3 purposes to 707th Expeditionary Fleet. First and Foremost, the Emperor wants documentation of the events and as a novelist that is your primary purpose," Chaplain Luang Pu stated as he walked around the training mat. "Second, you have an wealth of knowledge, are a sage, someone that is capable of storing, processing, and accessing vast tracks of information and that could help us in the coming days. What can you tell me about Andratus System," He asked "The Andrastus System, long known as the crucible of law and punishment within the Galcoran Reach, sits wreathed in the glinting, mineral-rich asteroid field known as the "Andrastine Halo". Its two primary worlds embody the system’s dual nature: "Andrastus Prime", a densely fortified hiveworld and seat of the Imperial Provosts, and "Pyrefall", a volcanic furnace world dotted with open-pit mines and the forge-prisons they feed. The Halo itself is a constant harvest of stellar rubble, dragged down through orbital elevators to be refined by the labor of the condemned, " I replied. "The Primarch would burn this system," responded Centurion Yut Hakon. Praetor Ya Ksha raised his hand to silence him. "You were promised to be told what happened in Dravik Maw's System and that is why you are here, to be briefed. And They need to prepare for the next battle. Time is limited. Master of Signals Pa El and I will stay on Stormbird Surat Thani again performing command and control. Knight-Centura Alyssah Respus will be on board with a few of her Sisters form the Chamber of Oblivion as back up," said Chaplain Luang Pu as a Servitor came in carrying a stack of books and Dataslates. "You will be given a private room to aboard Shadow Guardian, so you can create your documentation and review these books and dataslates," Chaplain Luang Pu said as he gestured to to the servitor.

  12. Month 1 After action report: ** The Fate of Dravik's Maw**: The Loyalists have seized control of Dravik’s Maw. The Traitors, their holds already swollen with plunder, abandon the wretched backwater to Imperial hands. Now the Maw’s ragged bounty is funneled into Loyalist stockpile. Scrap-forged munition, crude yet deadly, have already earned a savage reputation among the warhosts for their unpredictable and destructive properties. *Loyalists Benefit*: **Scrap Munitions** Once Per Game: During step 3 of a shooting attack, a unit from your army can choose to use Scrap Munitions. Any weapons it is equipped with that have the Bolt or Auto trait gain the Shred (6+) and Overload (1) Traits for the duration of the shooting attack. If any weapons that would affected by this already have the Shred (X) or Overload (X) traits, instead increase the value of that trait by one for the duration of that attack. *e.g. Shred (6+) becomes Shred (5+) or Overload (1) becomes Overload (2)*. This Month's Mission (Month 2): New Theater of War: Andrastus System: The Andrastus System, long known as the crucible of law and punishment within the Galcoran Reach, sits wreathed in the glinting, mineral-rich asteroid field known as the Andrastine Halo. Its two primary worlds embody the system’s dual nature: Andrastus Prime, a densely fortified hiveworld and seat of the Imperial Provosts, and Pyrefall, a volcanic furnace world dotted with open-pit mines and the forge-prisons they feed. The Halo itself is a constant harvest of stellar rubble, dragged down through orbital elevators to be refined by the labor of the condemned. With news of Horus’ treachery, Andrastus has become a prize too great to ignore. Loyalist commanders move to fortify the system, directing the Provosts to turn their citadels and forge-prisons into redoubts, but as the Dark Compliance fleet gathers at the system's edge threats arise from within. On Pyrefall, Word Bearer chaplains walk the prison-pits, stirring rebellion and promising freedom through service to Horus. Entire gangs of convicts have risen up in open revolt, donning chains as marks of devotion rather than shame. On Andrastus Prime the majority of Provosts are holding to their oaths, but a growing and powerful minority now claim the Warmaster alone can impose the absolute order they have long craved. On both worlds, entire garrisons turned their guns at the moment of battle, and what should have been an iron bulwark has become a crucible of slaughter.

  13. Imperial Fists Part 1 The thump of boots on the metal plates eched through the dead scrap piles of the field, kept in time by the very training he had when search turned to recovery. Orion's warders had lost radio contact before they were too far from extraction, marking choice pieces of salvage to repair the ships in orbit. Yet their check in passed without a word, leading other legion troops to dig through the various husks of ships and building ruins looking for the praetor. The scan held heat signatures still left, and as he rounded the corner of a ruin left barely standing in defiance to gravity the Imperial Fist sergeant found their commander. Kneeling in a pool of red, smoke still lingered in the low ceiling as Orion turned his head to note who entered. Marines in the red and gold regalia of Thousand Sons with power fist sized holes spread around the ripped open room, yet the praetor wasn't without his own holes in his armor. Another warder laid in the corner next to him barely recognizable with the number of bolter wounds he sustained in the short fight that cut off the radio. "Is that you, sir? I worried you dead when you spat the words of traitors." The trooper rushed forward to check on the praetor, yet even through his helmet it was obvious he couldn't tear his eyes away from the mutilated corpse and the solarite power gauntlet attached to it. They were rare, yet every sergeant had been gifted one while under the command of this praetor from Terra. "Marines of Terra are just built tougher, sergeant." Was the near jovial tone from Orion, unmoving from next to the warder. The golden solarite power gauntlet of his stained bloody in the battle and the many hearts he torn from the chests of psyker marines. "How many warders still live?" "Ah... Four, sir." His head fell, even the living would be incapable of fighting for some time. Yet somehow they weren't as bad off as the one who led the shield wall. He started to kneel and grasp at the body of the dead sergeant, suddenly feeling the weight of the same gauntlet on his shoulder. "Then leave him to me, sergeant. He did his duty." His jovial tone flattened, nearly as threatening to his own as he roared into the face of his enemy. The powerful man fiddled with the dead until the gauntlet came free, offering its unblemished gold form to the trooper sweating in front of the praetor. "You saw this and wanted it, didn't you?" "Y... Yes, sir." The exasperated huff of a man caught in his curiosity and envy came from his voice microphone. "I give this to those who wish to shake hands with the custodians of The Emperor himself. In exchange they are tasked to bring as many of their squad back alive, even at the cost of their body." He growled out his words, as if he was poking at the legionary in front of him for weakness. A momentary flinch had him return the rare weapon back to his chest and pick up the rest of the warder. "You are not worthy of its weight. Call Sagittarius to my ship. I will need his expertise with these new Arakne turrets I have heard about." If psykers could get past a wall of shields, then it was time to reinforce with a wall of bullets.
  14. Bases are done. Need to Decals, battle damage scratches on Assault Marines and Praetor, Do weathering and Matt Coats and they will be done.
  15. Adeptus Custodes Part 1 Zhao stared at the dreadnought that now housed his friend Guan, fury boiling at what he had allowed to happen. He had come to this planet with his protégé to meet Orion, a Praetor of the Imperial Fists, and deliver a friendly ribbing over the man’s insatiable hunger for more Solarite power gauntlets. After the exchange, Zhao and Guan began making their way back to the landing pad when the first missiles struck. Moments later, several squads of Space Marines advanced on their position. Zhao leaned toward Guan and whispered, “Follow my lead.” With supernatural speed, Zhao sprinted toward the enemy, his paragon spear spitting fire as he closed the distance. He got close enough to glimpse the madness burning in the eyes of the enemy leader before he deliberately collapsed, feigning death. Guan followed his example, loosing a blood-curdling scream before falling across Zhao’s body. As the assault marines closed in, Zhao suddenly roared, “Gotcha!” and teleported both himself and Guan to the safety of his ship. Only then did he realize the truth—Guan had been grievously wounded.
  16. I did not make the game time deadline but the Hardline Due date for the League Month 1 is 09/05. Game 1 lost by points but all he had left was a 1 Hull Point Rhino and My Praetor was untouched but covered in blood, not his. -Praetor Kill Count: 10 Tactical Marines, Rival Praetor, and well 4 Hull Points on a Rhino. Well I finally had a day off and was able to paint for a few hours. Seekers almost done Praetor is very close Assault Marines are close to being done.
  17. A Story of Death or Victory- Angels of the XIXth Legion, Raven Guard Chapter 4 “Movement, sir,” whispered Seeker Sgt Rom Ran over the secure vox. Assault Sgt Charn Chai glanced over at Praetor Ya Ksha. Praetor Ya Ksha gave the Sgt a nod and they all jumped off the Whisper Cutters landing behind some ruins. “10 Traitor Tactical Astartes, Rhino, and 5 Astartes designate unkown, unknow designate,” Seeker Sgt Rom Ran signaled his Praetor using Battle sign. “Be cautious,” Praetor Ya Ksha signaled back. The 5 unknowns Astartes moved forward on leathery wings. They landed in front of the Seekers and began looking and sniffing around. The Rhino moved forward and the lights illuminating the Word Bearer Daemonic Word Bear Veteran Assault Marines and then the Seekers. “Engage,” Praetor Ya Ksha yelled! Seeker Sgt Rom Ran and his team opened with Kraken rounds into the daemonic Veteran Assault Marines. Two of the Warp Corrupted Veterans fell. Assault Sgt Charn Chai and his squad jumped into the remaining Veterans and smashed another two to the ground. Their Sgt Backed away. Then four Assault Marines collapsed armor on fire. The Word Bearer Preator walked out of the Rhino and engaged the Assault Marines in hand to hand dropping another 3 assault marines. The remain Assault marines could not withstand the Word Bearer Praetor and begin to pull their wounded squad mates out of combat. The Seekers gunned down the last daemonic Veteran. Praetor Ya Ksha jumped pas the Rhino tossing a melt bomb on it severely crippling it, but the Rhino surged forward smoke billowing out it. The Seekers were charged by the Wod Bearer Preator and 4 of them were thrown around the Ruins. Praetor Ya Ksha engaged the Tactical squad before they could get off a shot. They learned when why his units are called the Murders in Black. Not one Word Bearer Tactical member survived. Seeker Sgt Rom Ran was set ablaze by the rhino as the Word Bearer Praetor was screaming “Fight me,” at Praetor Ya Ksha. Praetor Ya Ksha engaged the Praetor and could see the Warp possessing him. But it was to no avail. Praetor Ya Ksha was faster, and he buried his Paired Raven’s Talons into the Word Bearers chest to his knuckles and then bisected him. With a hiss the Praetor’s body disappeared. “Whisper Cutters retrieve us. Stormbird Surat Thani, prep for casualties and armor repair. No KIAs. I need to speak to Knight Centura Alyssah Respus, ASAP,” Praetor Ya Ksha said into his vox.
  18. IVth Legion Part 1 "Aye Sire, that looked like it hurt! Your piano playing days are over!" Vigilator Shen exclaimed. "Let me help you up, my liege! "I hope there wasn't a beauty contest soon your grace! I heard the IVX have good dentists. "In all seriousness my commander: the apothecarion will be here soon, and I have what we came for." ------------------------------------------------------ "Is the device working with Krugen's armor?" "Yes m'lord, it actually stayed attached with 36 temporal displacements." "That is all mortificator." The heavily cyberized marine bows and limps out of the command chamber. Another figure enters the chamber standing with stiff posture, holding a whip that seems to move on its on accord. "Young Warsmith! It is good to see you well! I have procured the stockpiles of weapons from Khymera and local volunteers. They are not well trained but you will not be outnumbered again!" "My thanks Overseer, you are dismissed." "My Lord." the Overseer gives an ancient Terran salute, and marches out of the command chamber. Now alone, he removes his helm and touches the metal plate that covers right side of his face, and his cybernetic eye with his remaining flesh hand. Light foots steps approach the entryway. A non-augmented serf approaches meekly, holding a dataslate. "M'lord, Urgent astropath message from the Iron Lord's command ship." "Let us take a look at what they have sent me, you are dismissed little one." "Yes, your grace!" he scrambles away, falling over himself while leaving the chamber. Hector opens the data slate: 'The Iron lord watches your progress, do not disappoint him like your predecessor did.' Hector lets out a long sigh and places the slate down and opens a tool kit to tune his arm. 'That fiddle will be played again, Terra damnit"

He deployed his Veteran assault marines to grab center objective, his tactical marines on his objective and Praetor in Rhino. My Seekers deployed to gun down the Veteran Assault squad. He stole the Initiative, but did not really want to but took first turn. Turn 1- Rhino moved up, Veteran Assault squad moved to center objective. he fired his pistols no damage and declared charge, volley fire did no damage and needing a 6 to make it to melee but rolled a 1. This Ended his turn. 4 -0 Victory points My Assault squad moved up along with Praetor and Seekers. Seekers opened up, hit with 4 precision shots killing both power spears. Assault squad made charge moves and no volley fire and Melee began. Sgt and Power mauls killed disintegrator pistols. His Sgt killed 4 dudes and plus Word Bearer Special rule made it count as 5. But I make my check. He disengages with me (This rule needs to be FAQ'd). 4-0 Victory points Turn 2- His disengage movement puts him on the objective, his boss disembarks from rhino. Rhino Praetor kill another 2 dudes from shooting, heavy flamer makes me fell my check and Praetor walks in kills last of assault marine squad. Veteran Assault marine Sgt fails to do anything. 8-0 victory points. My Seekers move forward and gun down the Veteran Assault Sgt. Praetor Melta bombs rhino reducing it to 1 hull point and his praetor ran and hid from me. 8- 3 Victory points Turn 3- His Praetor moves along with his rhino, to engage Seekers. Failing to hurt them with gun fire, Melee happens and 4 seekers are killed and Sgt is falling back. 12-3 Victory Points My Praetor jumps to fight his Tactical squad. Seeker Sgt while falling back shoots his praetor and wounds him. Praetor kills 2 Tactical and for no damage in return. He falls back hits table edge and I re-engage to avoid getting shot. 12-3 Victory Points Turn 4- His Praetor moves towards the fight but fires his plasma pistol at the Seeker Sgt and killing him. My Praetor kills 5 models and does not take any damage. The Tactical squads flees off the table. 12-3 Victory Points. My Praetor Jumps to engage his praetor and issues a challenge. I make roll my Decapitation Strike and Miss. I my Invulnerable save protects me. Turn 5- We fight again. This time I take Flurry of blows and get another attack and put anther wound on him. His misses his attacks. 12-3 Victory points Once again I take Flurry of blows and roll a 6. 10 attacks was just to much for his Praetor and he falls to the ground. 12-4 Victory Points. Victory Points wise I lost but my Praetor did his job. Biggest mistake was sending my Assault squad after His Veteran Assault squad and not his tactical squad.
  20. A Story of Death or Victory- Angels of the XIXth Legion, Raven Guard Chapter 3 I would be told the events that happened after the mission during the debrief with 707th Expeditionary Fleet Commander, Praetor Ya Ksha aboard the Shadow Bird Surat Thani, as we returned to the Fleet from the Planet's atmosphere. Did I mention that Praetor Ya Ksha, selected me to accompany their mission. Praetor Ya Ksha knew my name. I Remembrancer Landon Mar-Garet, was called out by name to accompany Praetor Ya Ksha, Assault Squad Chai and Seeker Squad Ran on the first mission. That is also when I learned about who else was in our fleet. I have been with the fleet for years and I only Interacted with other Remembrancers, the Crew of the Various ships in the fleet and the Warriors of the XIXth Legion. I was completely unaware that a Small Contingent of Solar Auxilia of the Therion "Velites" Cohorts were attached. Then there was her. Her was Alyssah Respus, Knight-Centura, Chamber of Oblivion, Anathema Psykana, Sisters of Silence. Remember I have spent years around Adeptus Astartes and I have a healthy fear of them. Knight- Centura Alyssah Respus I was terrified of her. Her armor in gun metal in color, she a had a Purple cloak with a inner cream colored cloak, her skin was a healthy hue of pink, with her bright red hair worn as top knot. Her weapon was almost as tall as she was. She was not large and muscular like the Adeptus Astartes but appeared to be frail but fit, Once you were within a few feet of her you just felt this dread. Or worse yet when she stared at you and you could feel you soul being ripped apart. I want to learn battle sign so I can speak to her or anyone apart of her order, but according to Chaplain Luang Pu, there is a Novitiate that is with the Sisters of Silence that can translate for me. Knight-Centura Alyssah Respus was on Surat Thanii, with me. Her novitiate was not. Back to the mission.... Running almost completely silently on gravitic Impellers for propulsion, the Kiavahr designed and built Whispercutters are exclusive to the XIXth Legion, allow Assault Squads and Dark Fury Squads to drop from above the targets or drop off elite infiltrating units with its open-topped air-frame. Currently 2 Whispercutters 10 had men from Assault Squad led by Sgt Charn Chai and Praetor Ya Ksha aboard. Once confirmation that their target was in the area, they would drop. As the seconds ticked by, the 11 Jump packed equipped Raven Guard Assault force waited. Once the 5 XIXth Legion Seekers led by Sgt Rom Ran on the ground gave the signal, the Murders in Black would go to work.
  21. IVth Legion Prelude "You should be happy you weren't rusted, brother!" Krugen boasted, the loud hailers blaring through the landing bay. "I thought losing Khymera to the XIX and especially the VII would have you executed!" He mused, cycling the action of his plasma arm. "But 'HE' made you a Warsmith? Is this an obtuse joke only he understands?" The Warsmith watched Krugen pace the landing bay, his large dreadnought frame unable to enter the troop bay. "But I am chosen to be interred in this machine? I led that campaign. I crushed the thinking machines of the dark age and freed that planet! You lost the planet to them after you took command! Come out and face me! You will answer for him you coward!" +++APPROACHING LANDING ZONE+++ 'Good, leave him to his own devices here.' The Warsmith mused, eyes still locked to the pacing mechanical beast 'If Krugen survives, they shall retrieve him-maybe the slaughter will calm his humors.' The bay doors open and the contemptor rushes outside to the sound of lasgun fire and screams. ++++++++++ ++++++ ++++ The Warsmith watches the pict capture, the beams of light piercing Krugen's frame, his reactor failing, and disappearing in a ball of light. Looking back up to the landing bay, Krugen paces, shouting for the Warsmith's presence. His dreadnought frame is unchanged. only a trickle of blood seeping from eyes and mouth vent of the machine's face plate. He checks the timestamps of the pict capture. '3 cycles ago...' He brings up another capture, one from earlier that solar year, Krugen is impaled on the spear of a Custode Achillus, his reactor failing again. The ball of fire melting the filagree down the Achillus's armor. Yet the next cycle he is in the ship's land bay, ready for deployment... "I will need to view this personally". -Vicbron Xand. Remembancer for Warsmith Hector Carnifex "Butcher of Khymera"
