In the name of the Corpse God! (Only War IC)

[TheAnnoyingNoob]

The last shell lands fifty meteres in front of the legions trenches, sending up nothing more than a harmless spray of metal. For the first time in nearly three hours, all is silent. One by one, everyone in the trenches shoulders their lasrifles.

For the past two months, this is what you have faced. A furious downpour of explosive shells followed by massed charges by the worlds workforce. First one, then five, then dozens of them appear several hundred meters out. This time around it appears some of them have found servitors to hide behind. A few shots are exchanged, but for now they're too far out.

As of your first post, they should be in range. All told, there appear to be several hundred disheveled individuals charging your position. Most wear makeshift metal armor warped around their chests. Happy trench war, and sorry for the short post!

Did I go'd deff?

Jomma removes his hands from his ears;
and looks around to see if anyone replies to
him... It hasn't occured to him that if he could
hear himself, he clearly wasn't deaf.

[Cogsrow]

-Sash stands there, covered in dirt and dust from the constant shelling, he had stood tall the entire time, not flinching at the hail of shell fire. as it began to stop he looks towards the troops- They'll begin charging now, everyone aim and fire. -he rolls on his feet as he picks up the lasgun, bracing a foot against the edge of the trenches he brings the gun up aims and fires at the coming traitors, speaking the litany of aiming loud enough the other soldiers can hear and follow along- Grant me the sight of the eagle, the calm of the breeze, the patience of a saint, and the skill to smite the foes from affar.

"Sek!" Weasel shouted. "Sek, sek, ****ting sek!"

She fired wildly, uncontrollably, into the advancing crowd.

Suppressing fire on the largest group of enemies she can.

Jesse had seen a lot, experience a lot. And in moments like this, it got the better of her. While others fired orderly shots, or blanketed the area in a confusing array of las bolts as the dust settled and the charge started, all she could feel was a building fear up in her heart. It wasn't cowardice, not really. Something else which caused her to hunker down, she drew her hand flamer, and her knife, holding it close to her chest, not looking out at the battlefield, but her eyes closed, trying to block out the world and the sounds of the charging mob of heretics.

Astra hunkered down as well, following the lead of Jesse, reading her lasgun, muttering prayers to the Omnissiah for guidance and strength of arms.

Jesse is taking a ready: Hand Flamer, and Ready, Mono Knife, action.
Astra is taking the "Take Cover!" comrade action.

A heartbeat after the last shell explodes Hetzer was back on his feet. Seeing the horde of local workers charging the squad’s trench he took a deep breath.

“So here we go again, deep in **** with a squad I barely know. Let’s see if we make it through this attack. The old Sarge did it and so will I! Let’s do this by the book …”

While drawing his chainsword Hetzer begins to yell orders, taking position behind the trench’s wall to have a good overview over his intended kill zone in front of it:

“Veche, get me some magnoculars, NOW!”

“Squad, here they come! Aim accurately at this distance! Don’t waste ammo! Stay in cover! Take single accurate shots! We’ve done this before, we will hold the line!”

“And give the heretics no pardon! Shoot to kill!!!”

Veche starts looking in the trench for some kind of magnoculars.

The bombardment on his squad's position had lasted for exactly two hours and fifty seven imperial standard time units. The bombing didn't have much impact on him. He was mostly human and could still feel emotion but his training had allowed him to suppress his emotions in most cases. He had waited patiently for it to end, as he had done, as he would continue to do. Then he heard them stop and saw his squad moving, his sergeant giving orders. He obeyed quietly.

Kreed rose out of the trenches dugout with his las-rifle in hand, checking over the weapon to make sure it was perfectly tuned. He looked over the edge of the trench to see servitors being used as shields. A twinge of anger rose up through his body but was quickly washed away by his priestly teachings. They couldn't feel. They were being abused by heretics. He aimed down the barrel of the rifle and steadied himself for a shot at the closest, advancing heretic. Darrien next to him merely assisted his mentor by monitoring the vitals of Kreed and making sure his augments were in perfect order.

Kreed is taking an aimed shot at the nearest enemy.

"Seems the fun is starting Reinhold." Heinrich says with a grin as they begin readying the Heavy Bolter "Dah Heinrich, they come to the slaughter, makes it easier for us." he says with a slight laugh as the incoming mass of men approach "True, but we have a job to do, let us see who is brave enough to continue when the Old Lady fires. Do feel free to join in my friend." he says with a vulpine grin as the heavy bolter unleashes a hail of suppressive fire.

I am going to be assuming that the Heavy Weapon is already braced, since we are in a trench.

"Bloody 'ell, alright Natalia, let's give 'em some fire." Natalia pipes up in a annoyingly happy tone given their circumstances. "Roger that Patrick." Patrick rolls his eyes and aims down his rifle, sending several shots downrange.

As you open up with bolter and lasrifle several men go down. A man wearing what appears to be a rusty welding mask takes Sash's lasround in the face, dropping without a sound and with little mess as the wound instantly cauterizes. Two are caught in the chest by bolts, curtesy of Heinrich. The rest, under fire from a hail of lasbolts, drop to the ground, making do with what they can find in the field. As they sparodicly return fire with their autoguns, you count roughly ten remaining, all about eighty meters out.

Nobody on your side is hit! They have (very) light cover, and any attacks to hit them are made at a -10, as the only thing you can see are their heads/shoulders and the rest of their body is behind that. If you haven't rolled for initiative yet, please do so.

"HERE HAVE SOME MORE YE FILTHY BASTARDS!" Patrick clearly doesn't think too highly of the enemy. He looses another few las blasts towards the enemy. Sasha on the other hand is smiling. "Come now Patrick, no need to be so rude. We're only trying to kill them."


Same as last round, lets just hope I hit this time.

“Let’s finish them! Kreed, Wieser, GRENADES! Tasso, bath them in flames!!! The rest: fire at will!!! Give them hell!!!”, Hetzer yells over the trench. Chainsword in hand he gets ready for melee just in case some enemies will make it through the kill zone in front of the trench.

Veche returns to Hetzer’s side when he noticed that the rebels are getting really close to the squad’s trench: “Time for some real fighting, eh Sarge?!” he says while drawing his knife. “I bet the Ogryn will have them for lunch!”

"Shut up and watch my back!", Hetzer growls over his shoulder.

-Sash just keeps shooting, periodically he glances back at the other soldiers, looking for any sign of breaking-

Leaving her lasrifle propped up in the gunslit, Weasel grabbed one of her grenades from her belt, and pulled the pin out with a practiced flick of her thumb. Holding the firing spoon down, she peered out into the oncoming horde. "Sek, sek, why are we here again?"

Half action ready grenade, half action aim.

"It seems we are winning Reinhold." he says loudly before pausing briefly, allowing the barrel to cool slightly and resting his ears and arms from the power in his hands "How so?" he looks slightly to the side at his comrade and grins slightly "We have the most kills in our squad now, let us see if we can keep it up!"
