Arin nods his head in acknowledgement. 'Mine's Arin Gend, of the Cadian 27th.' He can see that morale is down, and the young soldier (by his appearance he could not me more than 28, with an accent whcih betrays that he was taken in his youth from a barbarian world before training at Cadia).
'Y'know, some say the heretics were taken into hell by Horus to display the power of his sicko chaos gods.' he pauses, running his fingers along his blade. 'Compared to what we'll give 'em, they aint seen nothing yet.'

The Tanks tred onwards for hours with only an ocational stop to check out anything suspicious the Marines spotted usualy nothing but once or twice the tanks oppened fire on renegade marines... No threats were great enough for the Guardsmen to bail out however. The Lemon Russ was usualy all it took.
After 6 hours on hard track with the position of the Astropath changing relativaly little on the battle scale the convoy stopped and all the Guardsmen were ordered to bail out.

Hmm.. I wonder what's up.
Jumping off of the Chimera, Diego makes sure he still has both of his laser pistols just in case there is some trouble.

You get out or off the Chimera and can see the Terrain around you clearly. There is a large blockade blocking the convoy's way. The Blood angel had gotten up ontop the mess and rabble and peered through the rubble and with a quick leap he jumped down and moved to converse with the other Space marines... They were all relativaly the same rank in their respective possitions so saluting was kept respectful both ways. After some short quiet conversations they moved over to the Commisar and reported to him. The Imperial commisar looked over to the men and up through the buildings before he moved over to a guardsman with a sniper rifle grabbed it and pointed it up into a building, fired and out fell a lictor-class Alien. The creature was horridly mutated so was infected by chaos. He glanced over the group and nodded to them.
"We are not alone here men... Fan out... Take up defencive positions amungst the Terrain... Someone get the Emporer acursed Tank back and out of the open... Marines protect the Tank... Storm Troopers! Back in the Chimera's Get yourselves to better positions to exploit the enemy flanks... What are all you mules waiting for I issued you all your orders NOW MOVE OUT!"
With his final words everyone took up possitions amungst the rubble and some got into buildings to fire at anything that may come down the main pathway. The Lemon Russ positioned itself farther down the road to get a better view over the terrain and to keep out of enemy fire...
After everyone had picked their possitions and the Chimera's had rumbled off into the distance... A thumping sound could be heard down the street. It started faint... But soon entire sections of buildings were falling out and too the ground with the immence tremors that were effecting the area...

Arin motions to Gunter and Diego to join him near some battered barricades. 'It's a bad idea to get behind heavy defences and building now. If the tremors get worse your toast, and you'll only be a target anyway. It sound's like a dreadnought to me, and it wont go after just us three.'
He points to the street where the trmors could be flt to be approaching from.
'from my position we could flank it and help the others surround if it doesn't notice us right away. We all got grenades so we could crack an oversized sardine can easily if we get a good shot in.'

Seeing that Arin has sound judgement, Diego follows along.

The banging continues and the men fall silent stareing ahead of them. The Commisar stands proud stareing at the end of the street. A leg was the first thing to come out... Twisted and mechanical and it helled the soldiers in awe... It moved again and the rest came into veiw... A Defiler class warmachien of chaos. Its huge battle cannon turned and fired back through the ranks and beaned the Lemon russ... It's power should have ripped the Imperial Tank to peices but its armour held true only shaking the tank up. The Commisar pointed at the men holding lascannons and duly noted the Salamander holding the Multi-melta was moving up. All at once the Lemon russ and the las cannons opened fire and delt severe damage to the vehicle. The main battle cannon was destroyed but otherwise the weapon remained unharmmed... It began to move forwards, with its main weapon damaged it would be most effective in close quarters crushing guardsmen... 12 chaos Marines came around the corner and began charging the Guardsmen. Who imediatly oppened fire.

Gunter partially crouched behind the barricade near Arin, when Defiler came into view.
"Damn it!" swore Gunter.
Gunter let a couple of shots from his bolter into the Defiler, but the distance was too long, and he missed.
"Damn it!" repeated Gunter.
Then Lemon russ and the las cannons opened fire and delt severe damage to the Defiler, destorying its main battle cannon, and Gunter allowed himself a sight of relief - at last, he is not going to be vaporised before getting a chance to return fire.
As Defiler began to move forwards, Gunter even allowed himself to grin evilly.
"Guys, how 'bout letting it get a little bit closer, then giving it some kraks, eh? I guess, it is the best we can do against this damned thing."

Arin nonds. 'I hear you, but I don't fell like waiting. I'll chuck a krak with you, then go to mix it up with the chaos marines.' He fingers his power sword. 'I think only the commisionar has another armour peircing weapon.'

Diego whips out both of his laspistols and begins to fire (Ballistics Skill) at closest chaos marine.
I don't feel like waiting even that long! I want blood and I want it now!

The firepower that Diego lets loose aside from one lucky shot only seems to glance off the marines... The one lucky shot superheated the armoured powercell's of the Chaos warrior blew his chest open and his intestines spilled out across the street and he fell with a long groan that couldent be heared over the heavy firepower.
Arin and Gunter seem to wait paciently while everyone else fires endlessly at the marines. The twelve that had began the assault had already fallen from the heavy fire and the Defiler now lay immobile and weaponless on the street... All it was, was a threat to anything that came near it...
Cheers from the men began to come out from amungst the crowed untill that is a shadowed figure walked out at the end of the allyway... The Lascannons were the only weapons that had the range to reach him so he seemed out of harms way...
The Commisar screamed outload clutching his head trying to bring out prayors to the emporer... The Shrowded figure was weaving his hands about in the air and his eyes were glowing a eeire blue...
The Salamander ignored the Commisar and got up nice and close to the defiler... Just out of striking distance... The charge in his multi-melta gathered and when he released the blast the mechanical abomination was destroyed...

Ah hell... I don't like the look of that...
Having the feeling that being in a group might not be the best thing right now, Diego begins to edge away from Arin and Gunter making sure to keep low. While doing this, he also keeps firing at the chaos marines, always aiming for the powercells since that seems to be the only effective shot he has.

As all the Gunter's weapons are good only in relatively close or melee range, Gunter keeps half-crouched behind the barricade; shoting in those Chaos Marines, who come within range of his bolter.

A witch, thinks Arin, maybe even a demon? Whatever it was it was in danger of robbing the unit of it's leadership, and that was never good. Perhaps, distracted with his foul sorceries, it would not notice him if he crept up on it until it was too late. He signals to the other two to cover him if he is spotted.
A prayer formed in his mind, and he took to repeating it over and over agin to protect his thoughts . Arin, making good use of cover, ran up to the sorceror and pounced, whirling his power sword in a cleaving stroke with an aim to severing the head.

As Arin creeps up on the sorcerer whom does not seem to notice in the least his aproach. However long before he reach's the sorcerer who started off a long ways off the Commisar fell and just as he moved to strike the sorcerer he burst into flame and a vile deamon of Khorne burst forth from the flames. Weilding a blazing axe and a firey whip the creature roared furosiously and out of nowere deamons began pouring out from the city walls... The Commisar burst from the inside and a chaos spawn poured from his innards immediatly killing two nearby guardsmen. But the creature was birthed weak and was quickly subdued and killed.
((Sorry Shura this is how the settup was... Maybe you will get lucky and get away before it notices you... If it notices you?))
