If you’re a die-hard lover of canon, I suggest you turn away now. Like all things 40k, the gauntlet runs from “worshipping the printed word” to “over the top silliness.” Most of the time it’s somewhere in between. You’ve been warned in advance.

All rolls go against a specified characteristic in the style of Black Crusade. You’ll want to roll under the characteristic value in order to pass the check. The more degrees of success (every multiple of 10 counts as 1), the more awesome of a result. A 1 is a guaranteed success, and a 100 is a guaranteed failure.

Best of three rolls when it’s called for, with a 1 or a 100 instantly taking precedence. If multiple characteristics are being rolled for, each 1d100 counts for its respective test. Any rolls prior to the call for one and those not linking said post will be ignored.

You may burn (i.e. gone forever) 10 infamy to completely reroll a check (i.e. three new 1d100). If you have above 10 infamy, you are allowed a single additional 1d100 roll for any check during a session.

If you have any questions/etc, now’s the time. I’ll push the first update in about 10 minutes.

Excessive meta/whining/waifu’ing/etc goes to QTG. Blatant Samefaggotry will be ignored.

This is a small taste of what's ahead of us.

And it's why we should be glad we're daemons and have so many chances to reroll/mod our rolls.

You pinch the bridge of your nose, right between your eyes. Keeping your voice calm, you ask, “How long do we have until the Rak’gol start getting inside? Can we funnel them towards one or two areas in particular?”

Ignitrix doesn’t respond at first. She’s so engrossed in trying to power through the last bit of encryption and code surrounding the AI that you have to repeat the question. “Yes. Here. Need to focus,” she says in quick bursts. To your right, a few meters from the AI’s monolith, a holographic representation of the ship materializes mid-air. It’s surrounded by so many little red dots (which you assume represent the Rak’gol) that the Engine might as well have a second hull made of them.

Acerea walks over from the other side of the room to stare at the map with you. “Hmmm…” she muses, walking around the projection while taping it in several places. Each tap causes another hologram to form nearby, one of a zoomed in floorplan of whichever section of the ship she taps. Given that the Plaguebearer is the next best thing after the Tzeentchean when it comes to Xenos-related knowledge, you let her ponder. For the moment anyways. You had to make a couple of vox calls anyways.

...Or you would if you hadn’t crushed your microbead after the argument with the Blood Ravens. “Did either of you bring a spare bead?” you ask slightly sheepishly.

“Here Dear,” responds Acerea, tossing you her own. “I think I’m onto something here with these ‘railguns’ on the bow. Just give me a few minutes.”

“Sure,” you reply as you catch the microbead midair and activate it. You had at least two major calls to make. The question was which would be first.

>>35629127

It’s been a few hours since you last interacted with the Zoanthrope. Last you knew it was dealing with the Blood Ravens trying to accost the Salvage Team from the Raptor. Whether it survived or if it is even still willing to deal with you is entirely unknown. You’d like to be an optimist but experience has shown you it’s best to assume the worst so you can be pleasantly surprised.

After fiddling with the vox frequency you raise the shuttle pilot. His voice is shakey and full of anxiety. “Y-Yes Ma’am?”

“Are my new ‘friends’ waiting outside like I asked?”

“Yes, they...they are.” You hear him audibly shiver even through the microbead. Good news though.

“Good. I need you to go give the one with the big head your vox unit.”

The pilot’s first reaction is to protest with a loud “WHAT?!” A pointed growl from you shuts his whining up before it even begins. You hear some shuffling, a few “Skree’s,” and then a semi-familiar slithering Contralto fills the line.

“Sssso, you didn’t forget about ussss after all. Your crew issss fine and the Marinessss are dead. They were very tassssty.”

You laugh at the thought of those kleptomaniacs being torn to shreds despite their power armor. “Good, good, glad you enjoyed…”

of course they have those, and thats part of the fun

>>35629677

After a pause, you continue, “I’ve been thinking it over and…”

A warning hiss cuts you off. “I sssshould have known you were going to…”

“Calm down. I just think you might be better off on my Flagship than on the vessel that shuttle belongs to.”

The Zoanthrope remains silent for a minute. If you had to guess it’s experiencing whatever the Tyranid-equivalent of embarrassment is. Finally, it replies, “Where issss thisss ssship?”

“That’s the bad news. Or the good news maybe. If you continue down the corridor we found you in you’ll come across a balcony overlooking it.”

“It’sss inssside the Hulk?”

“It won’t be for long. We’ll be leaving in about…” You glance over at Ignitrix and cough. She sighs exasperatedly and grumbles that she needs about thirty minutes more. Returning to your microbead, “thirty minutes. And you’ll need to be off the Hulk around then either way. It’s going to impact the black hole shortly.”

“That isss a tight window. I won’t be able to get all of my sssswarm there in time.” It doesn’t sound thrilled but you still get the sense it realizes you’re not trying to trick it.

“Well there’s more. You’ll have to fight through Rak’gol to get here.”

“Rak’gol? I am not familiar with them. Can they be eaten?”

“Pretty sure they can. They bleed pretty well so I can only assume…”

“...Are you sssure there’sss no other option?”

Under.

>>35630180

You mull it over for a moment before responding. “I’ll see about sending a drone your way. But I would seriously consider either getting on that shuttle or trying to rush the Blood Ravens. Your swarm’s going to be split up either way.”

“Sssso it would sssseem.” There’s the sound of screeching and a few muffled “WHY?!” before the Zoanthrope continues. “I’ve moved onto the sssshuttle with my five besssst gauntssss. The resssst here will wait for that drone for ten minutessss. Then they will try to come to you. Any otherssss I’ll sssend towardsss the Ravensss but they may become mindlesss.”

“Mindless?” you ask. You’re not exactly up to speed on how the Tyranids work.

“Asss sshameful asss it isss to admit, I have limited range of control. Without sssomething like me they will lack direction…”

“I see… Well I’ll see you in a bit then.”

“Ssssss…”

You take that as a positive reaction. Clicking off the bead, you look over to Ignitrix. “Can you give me drone control over here?”

“Why don’t I just BECOME the… yes here. Now PLEASE let me concentrate.”

With that an interface similar to that of the Glaive’s from earlier springs into existence from one of the walls. With no friendly machine spirit to guide you, though, you’re not exactly the best remote pilot. In fact, the very first drone you’re able to get out of the bay (albeit after slamming it into the walls a few times on the way out) is immediately torn to pieces by the Rak’gol outside. So much for that idea.

You step away from the drone controls and reactivate your bead. “You’re going to want to have your Gaunts start moving this way now. The drone is a no go.”

“Thankssss for trying…”

Well now that that’s out of the way…

Illusions. All the illusions. We don't even need to be specific, just a subtle "everything you see is okay" thing. We can also tell them that Psykers/librarians aren't allowed on our ship since there is warp fuckery afoot, and we need time to examine it.

Acerea seems to still be working on her plan to deal with the Rak’gol. Although a few red dots are starting to break inside some of the drone and shuttlebays, you do notice the Plaguebearer manipulating the drones, tanks, and servitors to deal with them. You’ve probably got time for one more long call and one quick one.

The longer you stare at the dots, the more an idea forms in your head. Talking to Sergeant Damas earlier was infuriating but maybe you can achieve better results by going straight to the top. To that end you try out several frequencies before raising one of the Blood Raven’s Chaplains.

“Who is this? How did you get this frequency?” he gruffly asks.

“Who I am and how I know is not important. What is important is that your Company, or perhaps several Companies, is harboring heresy.”

“How dare…”

You cut him off with verbal steel. “Silence. Do not make me invoke my Rosette or I swear...”

His tone changes almost immediately. Space Marine he may be but the threat of the Inquisition is just that strong. “You must be Inquisitor Cinder then. We have been trying to reach you ever since Sergeant Damas of the 10th company fell silent. You were the last to talk to him and we were worried something had happened to you both.”

“Yes. I am she. As for Damas, we were both ambushed by Rak’gol. He and his squad did not survive. I myself barely escaped with my acolytes.”

Even Ignitrix looks up from her work to give you a thumbs up. You’re selling this pretty well and the Chaplain seems to be buying every word.

“The Rak’gol… we knew they were aboard but we have been avoiding contact. A shame Damas was lost, but he died in the service of the Emperor. Do you require backup? What is this about harboring heresy?”

You think about this for a second. You reasonably know the path the Tyranids will take to get to you so it’s just a matter of having the Ravens not intersect it. For now.

(cont)

>>35631663

“Normally I wouldn’t dare work with your Chapter after an incident that shall not be discussed now. But I’m willing to give you ONE chance so long as you do three things.”

“Name it, Madam Inquisitor. We wish to prove our loyalty to the Emperor and the Imperium.”

“First, you will send at least one barge to the following coordinates…” You nod over at Ignitrix who grumbles something about being an acolyte again. “We will be emerging from the Hulk shortly in a vessel that must be protected at all costs.”

“Of course. May I be so bold as to ask what it is?”

“No you may not. The second thing is you are to immediately send two companies towards the middle of the Hulk. We are currently being besieged by Rak’gol and they are already breaching our hull.”

“The Captain is here next to me. He says there are three already on the way.”

“Good, your company isn’t entirely incompetent then.” You consider one final order. It’s highly unlikely they’ll go for it but you’ve gotten this far… “Finally, you are to immediately bolt down and seal EVERY container aboard your vessels. I have reason to believe the contents of some of them have been tainted due to the odd Warp Phenomena surrounding the Hulk.” You see no reason to tell them it’s actually the Engine behind it.

“I… I…”

“Chaplain may I remind you I will not hesitate to have the Captain next to you execute you for heresy if you disobey.”

“It… will be done.” He sounds absolutely torn and dejected. That alone made this vox-call worth it. You cut the call before stretching your luck any further.

Ignitrix is shooting you an occasional envious glance between furious taps on her data slate while Acerea is hard at work with her minions and the Rak’gol.

Iggy needs concentration, and know what she's doing. Let's see what Acerea is cooking up, and if we can improve on it/turn it to our advantage. Maybe pop a quick message to the Raptor & the Inferno first to let them know the Blood Ravens are coming to help and should NOT be fired upon, and to try not to look TOO heretical.

>>35631677
>> [1] Quick call to the Raptor and the Inferno
Just give them a quick heads up as to the plan thus far.

>>35631677
>[3] Check on Acerea

>>35631677
> [1] Quick call to the Raptor and the Inferno

Literally a sentence or two to the Raptor then you'll check on Acerea.

Writing...

>>35631677
>> [1] Quick call to the Raptor and the Inferno

>>35631677

Before checking on Acerea you raise Proditus for a quick word. “Y-Yes Mistress?”

“One of the Marine Barges may try to interface with you shortly. Try not to be too heretical. Also we’ll be coming out of the Hulk hot in a new ship. Keep the Rak’Gol off of us.”

“I… Yes of cour…”

You don’t let him finish. Ever since Small...No-Horn’s “death” you’ve been channeling that energy into Proditus. Mostly because he hasn’t improved one bit since you first met him and since Ignitrix can fill his role easily. He’s rather useless these days actually. But you’ll worry about that later.

Walking over to the hologram projection you observe how the Rak’gol seem to be funneling into two bays in particular. Once inside, the dots start to disappear as they’re picked off by Acerea. Or so you assume. Not all of the Rak’gol are trying to get in, though. A good number of the dots seem to be pulling away from the Engine’s hull to deal with what you guess is either the Tyranids or the Ravens. Or both.

“THAT’S BULLSHIT!” shouts Acerea, startling Ignitrix and you alike. “He can do that?!”

“Do what?” you ask as you walk over to see what she’s angry about. The drone control display is currently displaying the interior of one of the bays the Rak’gol are coming into. In particular, you see one of the Xenos, more an amalgamation of machine, crystal, and flesh, controlling what looks to be the remnants of a Glaive and a servitor mashed together. “Oh…”

“Yeah. Oh. He’s tearing apart everything I throw at him and just adding it to that mechanical abomination.” Apparently Acerea’s still bitter about that potted fern from earlier. Usually she’s not this worked up.

Bloody Magpies steal everything not bolted down, and some things that are bolted down.

If their containers are bolted down, it means they can't open them to store whatever has been gifted to them by their own hands.

The shit they'd otherwise have stolen from us.

>>35632445

It's been a running gag ever since the RTS games that the Blood Ravens have an unnatural obsession with rooting through boxes. That and the whole kleptomania thing they have going on.

In this case, it forces them to not do something they love while providing an actual bit of reasoning behind Cinder's claim of heresy.

>>35632547
To explain, in DoW you could play as the Blood Ravens, and most of the higher-leveled gear was artifact equipment. The items had little story blurbs on them which had a noticeable tendency to end with something along the lines of "how this relic found it's way to the Blood Ravens is unknown," and they were from all over the place. Thus, the explanation was that they'd run around nicking shit.

Not their fault.

>>35632634

No, you don't understand.

They have shit that NO Chapter would EVER give up, under ANY circumstances.

Like >>35632559 said, they have THE Relic Hammer of the Black Templars, a thing that has only been used by the current Chapter Master / Lord Marshal.

The Blood Ravens don't even know what their progenitor Chapter was, or their founder, or their exact founding, or anything, "Excellent" record keeping my ass.

A nobody chapter like the Blud Ravens doesn't get artifact shit directly from the vault of the Custodes.

>>35632752
the fact the bluhd rahvens are so insufferable to be around that they 'gift' artifacts to them just to keep them way the fuck away

>>35632752
They're a chapter that basically only exists in the DoW games, and the protagonists no less. It would be a little confusing for a player to suddenly get his shit kicked in over things he didn't actually do.

Fluff wise, they're a small chapter that's taking constant losses in their sector and aren't overt in their thefts. It wouldn't be worth the effort to kill them. No one really likes them, though. They never get invited to parties.

Blood Ravens are probably one of THE most important Chapters.

>>35632291

You watch as the Rak’gol… thing tears apart another group of servitors like they were nothing. Half of the metal gets tacked onto his floating metal monstrosity while the rest is fused with the bodies of the other Rak’gol in the bay. The longer you sit here playing Captain the stronger that thing gets. That said, you can’t pull either of your daemon friends away to help you take it down. Ignitrix has to focus on the AI, flying you out, and keeping you from being blown to bits by the Marauders outside. Acerea on the other Rak’gol that aren’t walking anathemas to Tech and Khorne alike.

“I’ll be back,” you say, cracking your neck as you start to walk towards the exit. “I’m going to go deal with Acerea’s best friend down in Bay #2.”

“Be careful!” calls Ignitrix.

“You can do it!” cheers Acerea.

With that the door shuts behind you and the two return to their work. Judging from what you saw, though, maybe you should try to be a little smart about this.

Another 5 points would be wasted on a stat we avoid depending on - we get a bonus on warpchain, mo'dakka, and blast, and that's why those are the only times we use BS.

>>35633270
>Plans work as planned.
its gonna eat it.

>>35633157
Anyone else up for blessing/consecrating/defiling the tank in the name of Khorne before we go, just in case it helps?

>>35633226
Because it has backup, and Sheila packs dual flamers and a battle cannon to outclass Baneblades. Wipe the backup, have Sheila pull out while we chain over for single combat. Hopefully.
Might be handy to be able to order bombardment on the fucker if it comes too close to killing us, too - burn Iggy's bonus on a Toughness test to live through the blast. Not very Khornate to call for help in a duel like that, though...
Speaking of us dying: >>35633157 ELH, have we regenerated any wounds since fighting our way in past Rak'gol?

>>35633157
ok so, here is my plan. we immobilize it with warp chains. then shoot at it repeatedly with the main cannon of the tank.

>>35633345
we can do that? that would be nice.

actually, can we intentionally work on corrupting something? we really should get around to corrupting our nids into khornish kay-os nids

>>35633345
Not a bad plan, but every second we delay is a second that abomination subverts more of our shiny new ship's priceless tech. Maybe if Sheila can autopilot while we smear Gaelos' heart on the walls.

>>35633345
if we can do that before the fight I'm all for it

>>35633381
I don't know how effective we'll be, but we can at least put Khorne's mark onto it. I assume proper sanctification will have to come through battle, as it sheds blood and collects skulls in Khorne's name.

I mean, we ain't no pussy ass sorcerer, thinking just dancing and chanting is gonna get this shit done. If Shieila is worthy, she will grow in power and be blessed. If not, then she will fall as is the fate of the weak.

>>35633418
so tl:dr
>Yes we can
>The process is to put the mark of khorne on it and then have it win battles

>>35632870

The way you see it, it’s suicide to just go charging in with just your claws. Sure it’s not entirely glorious to rely on something like a Glaive to do the heavy lifting, but it might keep you alive. And a dead Herald of Khorne isn’t able to claim any skulls.

You make a beeline for your new friend Sheila. The Glaive is where you left it, in the middle of the drone bay near the AI core. This time around, though, you have an atmosphere and gravity to work with. Which makes you wonder - how did the tank not have a problem moving around the last time?

Hoping into the tank, you start it up as you remember. Sheila’s voice once again fills the cabin.

“WELCOME TO THE HAV MAIN BATTLE TANK. MY NAME IS SHEILA, HOW CAN I BE OF ASSISTANCE TODAY?”

“Hi Sheila. We’re going to go kill some Rak’gol but I have to know something - are you able to magnetize your treads or something?”

“YES. THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH BOTH EXTERNAL JETS AND MAGNETIC MOBILITY ASSISTANCE.”

“So you’re saying this thing can what… fly too?”

“THE JETS ARE ONLY ABLE TO PROVIDE TEN SECONDS OF LIFT IN NORMAL TERRA GRAVITY.”

Which means if you took it into space…

“One more thing. Can you operate autonomously?”

“YES. THOUGH OPERATOR INJURY MAY OCCUR IF TARGETING PARAMETERS ARE NOT PROPERLY CONFIGURED.”

Hmmm…


> [1] Take a service lift down
> [2] Surprise the Rak’gol by entering from the outside

I just realized what we are about to do.

A daemon of blood and violence and her pet MBT is about to get in a duel against a radioactive mutant alien bastard on his new technoabomination on the edge of a black hole.

This is, without at doubt, the most metal thing ever.

It is sufficiently metal to be a Judas Priest album cover and I will fight you if you say different.

>>35633476

Don't forget the other aliens and dudes in massive metal armor fighting themselves and these aliens at the same time while a space battle rages outside.

>>35633476

I kinda want her to pick up a few squads of 'nids to drop off after her flamer massacre, but coordinating that seems unworth the time.

Khornate magic actually exists, its just mostly ritual and forging stuff. Which makes sense, as none of that is actual fighting, but rather enabling the blood to flow

“Alright, show me how to configure those parameters then. I’ll be sending you outside to approach Shuttlebay #2 that way while I take a lift down.”

“PARAMETERS MAY BE CONFIGURED USING THE FOLLOWING MENU.”

The HUD changes to a massive arrangement of images representing different factions, aliens, daemons, and everything inbetween. Two boxes sit on the extreme edges of the screen, labeled “KILL” and “NOT KILL.” Damned simple.

“Question: What happens if I don’t put something in either box?”

“THIS UNIT WILL IGNORE THEIR PRESENCE UNLESS HOSTILITY IS DETECTED.”

With that in mind, you immediately shuffle through the pictograms to find the Rak’gol. They’re tossed into the KILL column without a second thought. For good measure you move Tyranids into the NOT KILL group just in case they show up. Daemons join them, but otherwise you leave the rest unsegregated.

“Alright Shiela, do I need to do anything else?”

“NEGATIVE. YOU MAY CHANGE PARAMETERS VOCALLY AT ANY TIME USING THE FOLLOWING FREQUENCY.”

A vox frequency appears on the screen. You take note of it and hop out of the Glaive. After a few moments, Shiela starts to move towards one of the launch tubes for the drones. With a whoosh she’s gone, out onto the hull of the Engine and hopefully able to take care of herself. Wait, are you starting to worry about a tank of all things?

Shaking your head to clear your thoughts, you practically run to one of the lifts and punch in your destination. The ride down is perhaps the worst part of the day so far. You’re anticipating a challenging battle ahead but there’s nothing you can do in this elevator but wait. And as any warrior knows, idleness is where the actual daemons lie.

Twin-linked heavy flamers on each side variety, and I think we've got some kind of insane battle cannon instead of the (also insane, and really fun to fire) Carronade.

>>35634060

As soon as the doors pop open you burst forth brandishing your claws. Ahead are two Rak’gol (partially metallic) with their backs to you. Beyond them are perhaps ten more besides the Techno-Shaman. The latter is currently spinning his death machine around and inspecting it. He’s in the middle of the bay while the others are equally spaced throughout.

Just before you can act, the entire ship rocks. Ignitrix’s voice fills your mind a second later.

<We’re golden. Good luck down there>

<Any reason you didn’t vox me instead?>

<I didn’t want to risk the Shaman picking up on it.> You sense that it’s a half-truth. There’s an overwhelming amount of concern coming from her before the mental link dies out.

Shaking your head, you focus on the Rak’gol. Aside from the expected balance act they haven’t moved.

You start to creep forward making sure to keep your weight evenly distributed. Your tail helps in that regard, swaying back in forth in time with each footfall. The Rak’gol still haven’t noticed you by the time you get right up behind them.

Twisting your wrist, you plunge your claws into the neck of the one on the right. It dies instantly but its fellow has already taken note. Mostly from the blood spraying from the wound and the dropped Rad-Axe. Before you can silence it it unleashes a shrieking cry that reverberates throughout the shuttlebay. Your claws shut it up in milliseconds though the damage is done. All ten Rak’gol, plus the Techno-shaman, have turned towards you with murderous intent.

The latter unleashes a battle cry that sends chills down your spine. Enraged by this you bellow out a response that causes the two nearest Rak’gol to recoil in alarm. So these things can experience fear. Good. You don’t think yelling at that massive cannon the Shaman’s wielding will work, though.

Take him down quick. He's the most dangerous.

Woo boy. The perils of trying to do multiple things at once. I believe [2] and [4] are what's happening unless I've miscounted/misjudged the majority vote.

SO....

2d100. 1st vs 45, 2nd vs 31. The first is whether you get hit by whatever hell results when you combine a Glaive's main canon with its flamethrowers and a chaingun. The second is whether you start to wrap the Shaman up in chains.

Pull him to us for single combat while our minions fight the mooks.
I kinda wanted to let Sheila fry him though; can we grab him & wait until the blast to pull?

>>35634711
That was close.

>>35634724
Fuck of rollplayer. You don't make decisions based on dice, you make them on BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

>>35634695
Damn, does the mage at least get distracted/disrupted by our chain attack? I mean, the goal is to keep him from doing shit, ripping off his head is just the best way to go about it.

>>35634737
That doesn't mean shit if we don't win. And the other option would have had the most skulls and blood anyway.

>>35634737

How about we make the decisions based on what doesn't get us killed and brings shame to Khorne?

>>35634698
>>35634709
>>35634711

Well you dodged the death beam so you have that going for you. I have a number in mind for how much damage it does but someone should really calculate out how much it should given those three I listed.

That said.... you missed with your chains. Even with the reroll. Distraction for the Nids/Shiela perhaps? I guess you'll just have to see...

Writing.

>>35634742
Well, with >>35634709 is won't be too bad. Pass barely, fail barely.

>>35634709
We could use Iggy's boon to grab him, but let's try to save that for a killing blow.

>>35634698
>>35634709
>>35634711
Well, we Dodge, but don't get the TechnoShamen... better than the inverse...

Even if we miss, which we sort of have, if they end up in the deck near him, we can pull us towards him with the chains.

Ballistic chains? Cool.
Ballisitc Cindernaut? Priceless.

>>35634752
Yeah, but we went after the best skull. Quantity of blood, quality of skulls. Plus this leaves the smaller fry for our minions to curry some favor with Daddy.

>>35634794
We would have gotten that one anyway. And that way no one could have interrupted our 1vs1 against him.

>>35634760

Shiela and the 'Nids.

Best back up band ever

>>35634760
So.. We dodged his shot(s) and distracted him while our Main Battle Tank skullfucks him from behind a wave of Tyranids?
Just. As. Planned.

>>35634844
>We dodged his shot(s) and distracted him while our Main Battle Tank skullfucks him from behind a wave of Tyranids?
No, we dodged the shot of our MBT. And then failed at getting close to him.

>>35634844
That's the trick, you see. My plan is always BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

>>35634844
We dodged the tank and 'nids but failed to bind him with warp chains
At the very least we made a cool entrance

>>35634940
Let's throw some Rak'gols at the shaman after overloading the cores of their guns.

>>35634870
>>35634940
He, not Sheila, is firing on us. He cannibalized a tank already, and apparently turned it and a servitor into a gun for his techno-abomination.
Lazarus is going to be ecstatic.

>>35635021
Why? All he's going to get from that is scraps. ;uckily, we have a whole ship of archeotech for him to go nuts over.

>>35635021
Yo, this guy ate and absorbed one of our tank's siblings. This could potentially be a very tragic experience for our tank.

>>35635061
Yeah but all the bits will be fused in crazy ways.

>>35635061
He's a Biologis. How often does a guy get the chance to disect Rak'gol?
>>35635086
I hope so. Anger is Khornate, after all.

Sheila needs to become a Lady of Skulls when all this is over.

>>35634529

It’s a good thing you have daemonic reflexes and that the shuttlebay has multiple venues to use as cover. A chorus of high-pitched whines fill the bay as you dance through the barbed slugs ejected from the Rak’gol’s Razor guns. A couple clip you along the way just due to the sheer number of them (-3 wounds) but they don’t concern you. What DOES concern you is that cannon that’s roaring to life.

You bend low and leap backwards and to the right. Not a moment too soon. The space below you fills with a green beam that burns a six foot diameter hole in the wall beyond. Khornate daemon you may be, but you know you won’t likely survive getting hit by that more than once.

Landing, you dive behind the nearest cover which happens to be crates of some sort. Slugs pound off the sides as you eye the forcefield keeping the atmosphere in the shuttlebay. Beyond lies the vastness of space, except it’s filled with a light show to end all light shows. Howler cannons from the Marauders, Lances from the Imperium ships, Torpedos and Fightercraft from both parties, and the thunderous cry of whatever the Engine has. All of it set against the backdrop of a Space Hulk starting to be torn apart by a Black Hole.

Sadly, you don’t have the time to marvel at the sight. It does serve to remind you about your Zoanthrope friend though.

“HEY. YOU. SHUTTLE PILOT WHO I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HIS NAME. GET THAT THING IN THIS BAY NOW.”

You don’t even wait for a reply before switching channels to Shiela’s. “FOLLOW THE NEXT SHUTTLE IN. COVER ITS ENTRANCE UNTIL THEN.”

“AFFIRM-”

(Cont)

So, what are we going to bind that Demon from Iggy's flashback to?

Our Claws? The ship? Shelia?

>>35635213

With that you leap out from behind the crate as it too is vaporized by the Shaman’s cannon. You immediately retaliate with a ranged attack of your own, but the chains go wide. A short dance ensues, with you using the chains to pull yourself out of the line of fire just in the nick of time. Just when you begin to curse the fact your backup is useless, a shuttle swoops into view outside. On top of it is Shiela, main cannon whirling and shooting down Rak’gol stranglers still trying to get inside.

As you dive behind cover for the second time, your support makes its entrance. The moment it’s inside, the Glaive’s cannon swirls to meet the Shaman’s. Both scream as their respective weapons emit a torrent of death at each other. Each stream is canceled by the other, causing a massive explosion just inside the forcefield. This tears the shuttle apart (along with three Rak’gol) but it seems both the Zoanthrope and Shiela prepared for this eventuality. Surrounded in a psychic bubble, the former flies from the wreckage with its five Gaunts. Immediately they leap towards the remaining normal Rak’gol with skrees of their own. The latter fires its jets and clangs to the deck unharmed.
