+++ Quintus let the slightest sigh escape his lips and he watched the coldness of the air trace the outline of his breath. He could hear the rain pattering across what little remained of the building’s roof. He found it calming. The arrhythmic sound helped clear his thoughts in the remaining moments before his squad would strike. For three days, he and his fellow Eliminators waited inside one of the only buildings that still overlooked the city’s main roadway. Before the Tyranids landed in force and began reshaping the planet with their foul biology, the roadway bore the name “Petitioner's Lane.” But any petitioners who once walked these streets fled long ago or suffered worse fates at the hands of the city’s new occupants. The Eliminator sergeant could hear the xenos moving below on the street. The telltale click of Tyranid claws on the shattered masonry set his teeth on edge. Their corruption offended him and he could feel sheer hate pulsing behind his eyes. For three days, Quintus’ squad had watched the aliens construct and grow their horrible breeding pools all across the city. Lesser forms, with the sheen of birthing fluid still coating their skin, streamed out of these organic factories constantly. The screeching never ceased. The enemy chittered and screamed of a victory that the Imperial Fists would soon deny them. The largest of these breeding pools sat across the lane from their building. If the swarm required it, the pool could create massive creatures capable of matching a tank in size and firepower. Quintus and his men knew this from their briefing before deploying three days ago. The briefing where the Captain of the Fifth asked that they bear the indignity of waiting inside an occupied city, watching the foe corrupt it, and not firing a single shot until a high value target revealed itself. Miserable work by the standards of any warrior. But Squad Quintus obeyed and waited. They waited for the thunder. Then the thunder came. And the sky opened. Thunderhawk Gunships in the bright yellow livery of the Imperial Fists appeared suddenly through the clouds and rushed towards the ground. Smaller craft danced in front of them and rained death down on the flying Tyranid forms that swarmed up towards them. The Eliminators watched their brothers descend to the planet wreathed in steel and with their colors born proudly. Quintus kept his misgivings to himself and turned back towards the Tyranid pool. The surface of the pool began bubbling with gestation and Quintus motioned for his two brothers. The knelt on either side of him, las fusils at the ready and steadied on the broken windows that looked out across the lane. Something massive took shape in the alien structure below them. Even in a half-formed state, Quintus could tell that the creature could easily crush an Astartes underfoot with its sheer weight. A pulsating cannon formed along the creature’s spine and it gave an ear-splitting roar of pain as the hive mind of the Tyranids spontaneously rewrote its genetic makeup. Quintus motioned the word for “wait” in battle-sign. His hands tensed as he did so. After three days, condemning his brothers to waiting for even another second felt like cruelty of the highest order. But as the beast below emerged from the fluid that birthed it, Quintus finally loosed his hand and pointed directly at the Tyranid monstrosity. At this command, the two Eliminators beside him opened up with a volley of shots from their las fusils. Beams of white-hot energy sprang forth from the barrels of their guns and punctured the newborn creature faster than the eye could track. The beams both penetrated and cooked the Tyranid. Quintus watched with no small satisfaction as the beast’s many eyes began to boil and then burst from the las fusils’ heat. It made one last whimper of pain and then fell to the ground with a thud. The comm unit in Quintus’ ear buzzed with static for a moment before a voice commenced speaking. “You did well, brothers. We have landed. Regroup with us at the main gate to the city. The Tyranids’ infection ends here.” At those words, Quintus felt his muscles relax. The tension of the three-day wait left him at the knowledge that his brothers safely made planetfall. He released another quiet sigh as his brothers ritualistically checked their weapons. After they finished their inspections, Quintus motioned towards his two fellow Eliminators and they all began the long walk down towards the Petitioner’s Lane.

Update to original post: I reworked the list to address issue with taking a Command Rhino in my allied detachment HQ slot and make the Imperial Fists detachment provide more infantry shooting support. Hi Folks, So I've been toying with the idea of adding an Imperial Fists allied detachment to a DoR Blood Angels list I've been refining. In addition to just looking and feeling awesome, I'm going down this route because I wanted the Imperial Fists to provide ranged support. As you'll see, the list isn't fancy - I actually don't use any special units for both legions - but I think both legions complement each other. ++ Crusade (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List) [1,594pts] ++ + HQ + Chaplain [147pts]: Artificer Armour, Bolter, Jump Pack, Melta Bombs, Plasma Pistol, Power Axe, Refractor Field . Consul: Chaplain Chaplain [147pts]: Artificer Armour, Bolter, Jump Pack, Melta Bombs, Plasma Pistol, Power Axe, Refractor Field . Consul: Chaplain Praetor, Legion [180pts]: Artificer Armour, Digital Lasers, Inferno Pistol, Jump Pack, Melta Bombs, Paragon Blade + Elites + Apothecarion Detachment [130pts] . Apothecary, Legion: Jump Pack, Power Armour, Volkite Charger . . Chainsword or Combat Blade: Chainswords/Combat Blades . Apothecary, Legion: Jump Pack, Power Armour . . Chainsword or Combat Blade: Chainswords/Combat Blades + Troops + Assault Squad, Legion , Compulsory [290pts]: 14x Assault Space Marines, Legion . Additional Wargear: 3x Power Axe . Assault Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol . . Power Weapon: Power Axe . Standard Wargear . . Chainsword or Combat Blade: Chainswords/Combat Blades Assault Squad, Legion , Compulsory [290pts]: 14x Assault Space Marines, Legion . Additional Wargear: 3x Power Axe . Assault Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol . . Power Weapon: Power Axe . Standard Wargear . . Chainsword or Combat Blade: Chainswords/Combat Blades + Fast Attack + Primaris-Lightning Strike Fighter [180pts]: 2x Kraken Penetrator Heavy Missiles, Ground-tracking Auguries, Twin-linked Lascannon + Heavy Support + Sicaran Battle Tank [230pts]: Accelerator Autocannon, Armoured Ceramite, Auxiliary Drive, Heavy Bolter, Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Hunter-killer Missile + Allegiance + Legion and Allegiance: IX: Blood Angels, Loyalist Rite of War: The Day of Revelation ++ Allied Detachment (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List; Imperial Fists) [906pts] ++ + Troops + Tactical Squad, Legion , Compulsory [248pts]: Bolters, 13x Tactical Space Marines, Legion . Additional Wargear: Additional Chainswords/Combat Blades, Nuncio-vox, Vexilla, Legion . Tactical Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Melta Bombs . . Combi-weapon: Combi-weapon: Plasma gun . . Power Weapon: Power Axe Tactical Squad, Legion , Compulsory [248pts]: Bolters, 13x Tactical Space Marines, Legion . Additional Wargear: Additional Chainswords/Combat Blades, Nuncio-vox, Vexilla, Legion . Tactical Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Melta Bombs . . Combi-weapon: Combi-weapon: Plasma gun . . Power Weapon: Power Axe + HQ + Siege Breaker [140pts]: Combi-Bolter, On Foot, Solarite Power Gauntlet . Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour: Terminator Armour . Consul: Siege Breaker + Heavy Support + Heavy Support Squad, Legion Heavy Bolter [270pts]: Hardened Armour, Heavy Bolter, 9x Space Marines, Legion . Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol + Allegiance + Legion and Allegiance: VII: Imperial Fists, Loyalist Total Point: 2,500 I haven't bought any of the Imperial Fist units, so I have maximum flexibility with this list. I also have a 10 Dawnbreakers, 5 Crimson Paladins, 5 Tartaroses, 10 Breachers, a Blood Angels Preator in Tartaros armor, an Incaendius Dread, and a Blood Angels Contemptor Dread, so I've got options for my Blood Angels list. Thanks!

That the Emperor, blessed in His wisdom, would come to desire such a trove of knowledge, appears self-evident even to us, who live in the shadow of His passage. It was thus then, that he would send forth his Angels of Death, the then-nascent Legio Primus - the Angelum Mortis - to root out the entrenched xenophile cults that had come to inhabit Europa by that point. The operation was swift, if bloody, and fiefdom over the stellar body would be ceeded to an enclave of the Helvetian Technocracy - an offshoot of the Machine Orthodoxy that had weathered the Age of Strife in isolation most extreme upon Terra. Where then Deimos and Phobos of Mars would become the twin-seats of the martian synode of Beherrean, and Io became the heart of the lunar Simvulsean Complex, Europa would become home to the Ansilean Circle, a branch of the Technocracy responsible for the research of weaponization of warp phenomena. Due to the high-priority technologies developed and improved upon - research that held keenest interest among a number of the Emperor's subjects - the station had long been obscured from regular imperial authorities and been declared interditum absoutis to any and all who did not hold the appropriate seals of authority. It is during the early stages of the Horus Heresy that elements of the Alpha Legion would conduct a series of assaults on the Solar system - most famously the grand assault on station Hydra, in the orbit of Pluto - and research outposts would prove to be some of their most favoured targets, both due to the wealth of material and knowledge that could be raided there, and the relative isolation in which they existed even in this most fortified of circles. On the third day of the Septimus in the thirteenth year of m31, all contact from Europa would cease, prompting Lord Dorn to send out an investigative force of Imperial Fists to ascertain what had transpired and - should the situation require it - secure and extract any technology still present in the Ansilean vaults. It is to be noted that Lord Dorn was, at first, unwilling to send out any of his own men, for in those early days of the Great Fratricide many things had been uncertain and he - rightly so - feared more direct attacks against Terra and thus sought to hold back his own forces as best he could. It was only after a private audience with Lord-Hierophant Ecneon, master of the Technocracy, that Lord Dorn would relent. The investigative force would quickly discover that a strike force of the Alpha Legion - henceforth termed Strikeforce 'Lintwyrm' - supported by allied Mechanicum and Militia elements - henceforth termed as Strikeforce 'Koleikos' and Strikeforce 'Sarthaccan' respectively - had disabled all communication in the facility and begun off-loading the present technology. It appeared then, that the stationed Helvetian forces had been seeded with operative elements of the Alpha Legion many years prior.

Hi guys Do any of the ezy to build models from shadowspear or the new Start collecting Primaris Vanguard set (same models) work with Imperial fists? I'm concerned as theirs a severe lack of options with the ezy to builds in relation to weaponry, so trying to determine if I'm I better off going through normal boxes. Cheers Thalidar
