[...CONTINUE]Before the chaos bombing reaches the most harmful consequences, are sent again the stukas to ease the pressure, hitting the warhound titan and forcing also it to retreat behind the Emperor Titan of Nurgle, as implore its protection.
On the space port, the coven of Nurgle confirms the overwatch, and fattens its ranks, summoning hordes of plaguebearers, ready to became the second defensive line.
Near the plasma annihilator ground cannon in eldar's hands, the baneblade opens a sustained fire against the zombies in the ruins, but the threat is not yet completely eradicated.
However, after a brief diversion, with the sustained fire of Gargarism, the warlord titan of Nurgle, the infantry company is broken. Its Plasma Destructor, the morbus cannon and terminus howitzer reduce literally in shreds the tower, standing by a miracle, now more than a death trap that a defense. The infantry company retreats in the space port, at the same time when the praetorian combat servitors move and occupy the walls: the third line takes place in defense of the outer walls; but the nightmare is not over. The Wrath of Ebola breaks out, three terminus howitzer open fire causing a massacre among the survivors of the retreating mechanized infantry detachment. A storm of fire and death.
The offensive chaos forces ends with the advance of the vindicators, that try to crush the praetorian combat servitors, but they are really hard to kill. Cyborg: half flesh, half machine.
Another strike, this time from the second thunderhawk that arrives and fires causing another massacre upon the traitor infantry company, now only ten men perched on the gate. Quick as lightning, the thuderhawk takes off and disappears again in the red and hellish sky of Istanor.
The loyalist assault line closes ranks, with the arrival of the land speeder typhoons, to protect the Titan while Saetta, the reaver titan, march and arrives at the crossroads, on the avenue of Splendours: ready to change front. The loyalist leman russ stop and prepare an overwatch fire, waiting to see what will be their destination.
From the Astra Militarum, a land raiders company and a terminator company on land raiders too move fast and arrive them too to their crossroad, the second assault wave, a terrifying armoured phalanx, ready to conquer ground.
The battle roars increasingly angry, and for both factions, the siege gets tough, increasingly pressing, tremendous.
