To Slay a Xenos

But... superheavies are meant to be rare.

not really...especially with a forge world nearby....

Yeah they are, or at least they aren't something mass produced

they're from multiple different regiments
and they're here to guard teh ammo prodcution and stuff
most of teh super heavies on the world are the knights 
and several means like five at most

That's not what several means.

my mistake

OOc sup im here and in a lancer lets do dis

OOC so whats up

Drax: right last minuet checks, all systems green, knight lancer Shadow dragon ready to defend,
Technision: really Shadow dragon
Drax: what it was the first thing i could think of

+Drax, report to Ironclaw, and the chamber of echoes. the baron wishes to speak with you+

Drax gulps +yes sir+ drax dismounts his titan and proceds to rush to the chamber

he finds the baron there, clad in his personal power armour, busy looking through a dataslate

Drak salutes: knight apprentice Drak reporting sir (yes hes has no last name)

OOC he's house ebonheart dammit!
ebonheart is his last name!
IC "Ah, Apparent Drax. at ease."

Ooc: would the pilots wear power armour?

OOC: lexicanum says nothing :/

OOC only the baron does in this house
the rest got carapace

OOC woops my bad
Ic: drax relaxes but is still tense

OOC: fun

*The Praetorians get to work on fortifying shit*

"This will be your first war correct?"

Ooc: something similar to Ignatus pattern?

The flesh eaters land nearby, disembarked from a thunderhawk carrying two rhinos underneath.
They start assembling improvised fortifications, corrugated iron sheets laid upon sandbags, barbed wire and iron spikes half buried a few meters from the defensive line.

OOC yep

Drak: yes sir

*Group by group the civilians become more akin to a disciplined militia, instead of a mob*

"Feeling confident?"

Eli looks impressed.
"Your doing well praetorian, if we survive this I'll be sure to tell your superiors you deserve a chest full of medals"

Drak: as much as i can sir

"I'll be blunt with you. You're gonna fight alongside me."

*he smiles at that*
"Thank you, sir... Tell me, do you think we have a chance?"

drak gulps: sir?

"You heard me. You'll fight alongside myself, my personal retainers, and my firstborn."

drak:forgive me for asking sir, but why?

*the salamander's set up heavy bolter positions and a network of strike beacons*

"You hold potential. I want to see your skills for myself."

another gulp: I hope to live up to your expectations sir

Eli looks down at him, his shark tooth pattern on his helm making it look like he's smiling.
"If we hold our ground and don't let the bastads in, I don't see why not, but don't be mistaken, for every soldier we have, they have a million..."

All the heavy fire power of the adeptus mechanicus taskforce has deployed at the position

"Relax."

"Techpriest, give me a rundown of your forces" says Eli, beckoning him over.

OOC: Which one faggott

*The Praetorians are seen setting up firing lanes and heavier weapons positions*
"I never told you about our previous campaign....we were deployed with an armoured battalion from Krieg and ordered to pursue a retreating Tyranid force into a marsh...."



*the Colour sergeant marches to Eli and the Commander*
CS: Civilians have been trained, Sah!
C: In record time too, we'll have to celebrate over a cup of tea later
CS: It does help that I didn't have to..make an example of anyone
C: Oh the tragedy
*they both smile as the colour sergeant sees someone being inefficient and goes to shout at him*

Drak:.....as you say sir.

"Dismissed."

darks saluets "sir" then wlaks out of the room only relaxing once out of sight of the barren. then he runs striaght back to his Lancer

"Excellent, we should start work at storing essential food and water, without that I'm sure the people would die in a long holdout"

Ooc: gorath, could you give us a number of people in the city that the praetorians, salamanders, and mechanicus forces are in?
Cos the able have been trained into a efficient militia.

OOC: 1200 militia max due to weapons given by astartes

Ooc: true, I'd settle for that.

OOC: Ollie

Comrade kitten: What are the rules for the hekatarion siege claw?
the mighty penguin: SD ap2 wrecker
Comrade kitten: .....I have a D weapon
Comrade kitten: I finally
Comrade kitten: Have the D
