Blood, Sand and Tank Treads

while several ruststalkers die, the majority are too fast for the squigs as they duck and dive their way towards baddfrag's skullhamma

said skullhamma just opens up with all its gunz on the approaching ruststalkers, along with burna boyz who were just showing of their flamers but got lukky

the ruststalker princeps is the only survivor of this onslaught, making it to the tank's top hatch

*The vehicles split into their respective bartlegroups and set off in opposite directions. Each group is shadowed by a third of the infantry in centaurs. A third unit remains in the center, this consists of the command tank and the support vehicles, namely the Griffons and Earthshaker batteries which are towed by Centaurs*

he gets impaled by baadfrag's power klaw as said ork breaks out of the hatch
"not gona let ya hurt me baby ya rusty pice o scrap"

the skitarii begin to fall back, their arc weapons doing serious damage to any ork vehicle within their range

the ork respond with more squigs and more artillery fire

their retreat is slow
and they fight still with every step

ork chase them only so far before getting to the looting

before long an ork kommando nob approaches da boss

Baadfrag: anyfing ta report

"We'z got some info for ya boss" *he pulls out a map*

a few boyz shudder at the sight of their boss with a map
Baadfrag: letz seez it den

*patrolling they see me, hatin they be*

he shows it
there's a big red X on
"Da humies is plannin ta attack here we finks"

baadfrag: we gots anyfing dere?

"We'z got a few ladz but da rest is guardin here *points* and 'ere *points*

Orbital shuttles begin to land around the base, looking bulky and archaic, covered in a blend gothic architecture and ancient machines.
From the rear, large bulkhead doors open, sororitas tanks rolling out alongside squads of sisters.

the guardsmen are too busy preparing for battle to pay them any notice

Gorath, I hope you are aware you migghhhttt have slightly fucked up with that last post

nope

If you insist

"I assume you are the magos in command of the mechanicum forces here.."

"I am. who are *he freezes when he sees her*

Ooc: a sudden smell of urine fills the room.

OOC: HUUUUEEEEEE

IC: "Archmagos veneratus Ys, The fabricator general himself sent me here to help defend the forges"

he kneels before her
"By the omnissiah..."

OOC: Your learning

I commend you

IC: "Tell me, what is the current situation?"

"The greenskins defiled and sabotaged this holy place with their infiltrators. I am attempting to repair the damage"

Ooc. Gorath, has comrade arken reported in today?

Not yet

Ooc. Shame and disgrace be upon his famiry...

OOC: verr dishonraboo, commit sodoku!

Ooc. Baka! You mean commit sudoku!

Now i shall stop before shadowkitten starts whining about derailing again...

OOC: I have dishonoured my famry
*Commits Sudoku*

ONNIIIIII-CHHAANNNNN!

IC: "have you identified a the ork leaders location"

"Negative. He's too mobile"

"Did you try using allied forces to lure him into a kill zone?"

"Yes. He's too clever for it"

"I see, what exactly did the orks do to the forges?"

"Attempted sabotage of the weapon and tank production lines"

"Your skitarii where incompetent enough to not stop them?"

"Most were on the front lines at the time, myself included"

"You left your forges largely undefended?!"

"Negative. The imperial guardsmen were standing guard. When they failed I insisted my skitarii and I be the ones on guard"

"You will answer for this when the other forges are liberated"

"For now recall all sktiarii to the forges, if we loose the forges then this campaign is over"

"The field Marshal has ordered several squadrons for his force to liberate forge Vakon after he has punched through their lines"

"Then I shall supply him with that support"

He nods and bows again

OOC: lose not loose.
Loose is the opposite of tight, lose is the opposite of win.
