    Despite the harsh atmosphere, Kheres helmet remained off. A testament to the Iron Hands tenacity. Upon exiting the drop pod, the techmarine did not draw his rifle despite the threats that had quickly appeared. Instead, he quickly assessed the crater formed by their landing.

    The hydraulics of the servo-arm hissed and whirred as he began to peel away portions of the ceramite plating that protected the hull from the atmosphere's heat, slamming them into the edge of the crater to form a make-shift trench shield.

    Elyas ducks down behind Kheres' makeshift wall and opens the vox channel. "Strongpoint on me, men! Focus fire on the leader, we can use grenades on the buggy when it gets closer!"

    The descent to the planet's surface is certainly a memorable one in Zeruel's opinion. Still, it's not so bad that they can't walk away, and once Kheres has a bit of cover built up the Lamenter joins him behind it. With the dozens strong horde still out of range of all but the most long range weaponry, the Lamenter draws his chainsword and mentally prepares himself for the battle to come.

    "Aye Elyas," Zeruel comments as his hands clench around the hilt of his blade, "We'll make them pay for every inch!"

    Ragnir


    Ragnir stood collected and stalwart against the oscilations of the drop pod. The fire scraping against its external chassis did not bother him. He had seen fragments of the future - their future. He knew it was their destiny to land and embark on their question, and so what dnager did the flak pose to the fate of his insight?

    When the drop pod came down heavy and the doors sprung open, Ragnir moved forward and pressed a shoulder against the cover provided by their arrival. In his right hand he grasped the shaft of his Force Axe, the runes on its head-blade shimmering with a mystical energy that hungered for the flesh of the enemies of man. In his left, Ragnir held his bolt-pistol, a reliable weapon whose range was, unfortunately, too short to rip and tear their foes.

    Stealing a glance beyond the barrier, Ragnir focused his mind and awaited the approach of the buggy. When it drew too close, an arcing web of lightning would flash across the battle field, connecting Ragnir and the cultists for the briefest second to transmit fury power from one to the other...

    Ragnir will hold his action for when the buggy draws within 40 meters.

    When that happens, Ragnir will use a half-action to caste Smite: "Willpower" - (1d100)[49] vs TN 107 (57 will + 20 psy rating + 10 psy focus + 20 Centre of a Strongpoint (Smite gets bonuses/penalties as if it were a ranged attack).

    As the shots ring out, the faint ping of auto rounds bouncing off the landing pod and the crack of las fire whipping sound out. The marines like a well oiled machine leap free from the couches weapons coming free as they ready for action!

    Baldir drops to a knee the long sniper rifle coming up and a shot sounding out but the round misses as the war buggy bounces erratically over the ash wastes. Beside him the techmarine's Servo arm rips free one of the drop pod doors and wedges into the ash forming a solid burnt ceramite wall to cover the marines landing ground. Beside him the Dark Angel motions to the barricade and orders a strongpoint as the kill team fall in around him. Beside them Zuriel- chainsword in hand and Ragnir - eyes crackling with lightning stand ready waiting for the enemy to close.

    Across the far side of the barricade the enemy begin to run forward, long flak coats and boots kicking up dust s they all race forward firing wildly into the air as they begin to close the distance. Behind them, at the officer's urging another 3 of the Stigmartus troops appear and begin setting up what looks like a heavy mortar type weapon, one of them carrying a massive shell to the open end of the pipe. The rest of the troops run at speed closing to ~150m with their officer in their midst.

    To the left the warbuggy accelerates and races closing to ~80m, the heavy cannon on the back spraying a blast of rounds at the marines, starting with Elyas atthe heart of the centrepoint...

    Elyas gets his head down just in time to avoid a large caliber slug flying at it. The rest of the bullets impact harmlessly against the armor of the drop pod's door. The Machine Cult will be less than delighted that it was used as a glorified wall, but its purpose was to protect Space Marines, and that was what it was doing.

    "Never mind, forget the commander! Baldr, take down the mortar crew, everyone else needs to focus on the buggy!" Elyas orders over the vox. He raises his bolter and toggles the shot selector to Kraken rounds, returning fire with a fully automatic burst.

    Zeruel keeps his head down as ammunition rains down on their location, thankfully none of it hitting anything but metal or dirt. "It seems that their aim is as poor as their loyalty," he notes, before drawing his pistol with his free hand, rising up from behind the barrier, and firing off a semi-automatic barrage at the buggy before ducking back down to await their closing in to melee range.

    "Although it appears mine is hardly any better," he scowls to himself.

    The attacking buggy shakes suddenly as a hail of targeted rounds from 3 massive marines converge on it. The promethium rockets of the bolt shells giving an almost laser like quality of the tracers as they intesect on it. ELyas hoses the frame of the buggy, the bolt shells blowing off the door and leaving massive stuctural damage on the ramshackle vehicle. On the back of the truck the gunner is horrifically bisected by Kheres's accurate fire... The remaining marines also laying down fire with pistols and anything else...

    Even as it continues to roll forward, steam rising from its fractured engine it gets close enough for Baldir to release the pent up psychic smite. A massice arc of lightning flowing from the Rune Priest to the buggy. There are faint screams from within the vehicle as the two drivers are immolated by the flowing lightning before seconds later the arcing energy sets off the leaking fuelfrom the damage engine and it careens into a small crater a smoking wreck.

    Towards the back the loader with mortar shell was leaning carefully over the barrel before he crumpled in a screaming convulsion, the bulet striking his head not killing outright before the toxins in the round quickly overcome his weak immune system and leave him very dead! The gunner looks about, before dashing forward and recovering the mortar shell, takig what cover he can.

    OOC: He moves to recover the shell and picks it up as his two half actions

    Undeterred by the messy expiry of the warbuggy the mass of troops howling blessings to the Dark Gods of Chaos and spurred on by the their skull face officer/bishop continue theur headling advance, darting from cover to cover and racing across the grey dusty ash as they close to ~120m

    Almost as one the marines from knee or standing tall level bolters and open fire at the hapless deluded heretics running towards them across the ash wastes. A dozen men are blow backwards by the hail of bolter fire, limbs and chests exploding as a veritable cloud of gore erupts along the line of advancing men. The cultists, still some 120m distant drop to the their knees, some laying down supporting fire, others advancing as they try and return fire at the black garbed marines. Even as almost half their number lie dead the officer bishop can be heard singing out praises to the dark gods and driving them on!
    At the back of the group, another man explodes as Baldir picks off the second man to try and retrieve the mortar shell, the third man vanishes from sight as he dives into a nearby crater away from the heavy weapon, and away from the officer-bishop's baleful glare who would surely execute him for such cowardice!

    "Yes, don't let up!" Zeruel calls out as he too fires off a burst of semi-automatic fire at the incoming horde in unison with the rest of the kill team, "Give them no quarter!"

    As auto round and las blasts flick past the marines, Ragnir taking the brunt of it as the rounds hammer his ceramtite like hail on a tin roof the plate and Ragnir's innate toughness hold and he wards off the worst of the damage. The return fire against the survivors is intense and Elyas leads the assault, more men fall, limbs blown off and bodies exploding before the officer biship falls dead to the ground, foam pouring from his mouth as Baldir's round takes him in the head...

    With screams of despair the last few survivors scatter, running like terrified hares across the grey wastes....

    With the landing secured and the last few remaining heretical scavengers fleeing the huge bulk of the crashed imperial vessel beckons you forwards like a mountain of adamantine!

    Kheres stood from behind his makeshift cover and stepped up and out of the crater. His eyes fell on the burning hulk of the buggy first, focused on the heavy weapons. The team didn't need the scattered heretics forming back up with a crew served weapon in the very bunker he had hastily established.

    "All praise and glory to the Emperor. Thanks be to him for granting this lowly servant the mighty machine spirits of his blessed technology."

    As he strode forward, he reloaded the bolter, keeping it at low ready as he closed on the buggy.

    Elyas gets off of the filthy ground and attempts futilely to dust himself off."Excellent work, brothers. Now we must make haste towards the data core. The traitors might lack the equipment to access its contents, but we cannot take that chance. Move out!" he orders. He himself makes a steady pace towards the monstrous carcass of the ship.

    Baldr watches the remaining cultists flee through his gun sight. There was no reason to think that something couldn't corral them and send them back this way eventually. 'I know many a Jarl who would make a point of running people like that down.'

    Baldr will follow Elyas but take a detour to the body of the officer that he just killed. He's checking for communication equipment that might give them some idea of anyone the officer-bishop might have been talking to.

    The massively armoured marines bound easily across the ash waste raising clouds of cloying grey dust with each step, as they leap over the line of fallen and dead foes a couple of bolter shots ring out as wounded become dead! Kheres approaches the smoking buggy, the crew all very dead and easily disables the crude engines and shears off the firing pins on the small bore autocannon rendering it all melted scrap metal.

    By the dead officer bishop Baldr squats down and finds a map of the area with a few scattered notes, a blue icon 8 miles away designating their base camp and then various heretical runes denoting 3 other camps although the jumble of letters are clearly in some sort of cypher. A larger comm unit is also clipped to his waist, a crackling voice "Astioch, Sub Cardinal, come in? Have you engaged the Imperial dogs?..... Sub Cardinal?"

    As you scan the massive edifce of the stern castle you can see there are several options for gaining ingress into the vessel. A massive hole in the hull opens up into what you all know is the general storage and crew quarters although the damage looks severe. Another option would be to scale the 200m side of the ship and directly access the aft castle. The third option would be to be brave the leaking promethium pools and toxic fumes and enter the rear drive section past the engines that still glow a dull red from days of residual heat.

    Baldr will tuck the map into his belt and remove the comm unit from the cultist's body before catching up to the others. He will ignore the noises coming over the enemy vox. They would find out eventually but there was no need to hurry the process. To the others over their own vox, 'Their priest had a comm unit. If they're talking to each other we might want to be listening.'

    On the ship, 'We looking to be fast here? Going in through the big hole might be easier at first, but the ship might be a mess once you get inside. Couldn't say that it wouldn't slow us down.'

    Ragnir


    Ragnir's head was tilted back for a brief second as that stray round managed to impact against the processed steel of his helmet with a dull Twang!. When he had brought his gaze back to the battle, the firepower of his brothers had settled the matter, and the Rune Priest stood from behind his cover - for what good it had done him.

    Moving with his squad to first inspect the bodies for anything useful, and then to progress towards the crash site, Ragnir peered at the down vessel with eyes that had narrowed into suspicious slits.

    "The first rule of success is to have a vision. You see if you don’t have a vision of where you are going, if you don’t have a goal for where to go, you’ll drift around and never end up anywhere...can you imagine a majority of people don't know where they are going? I knew where I was going!” – Arnold Schwarzenegger
