02 - Galrisian - Interceptors, The XI Legio Metalica Battlegroup with CDXXII imperial guard regiment intercept the ork invasion on Kepler Secundus way.
The machine Spirit of Ferrum Iratus is in fibrillation, the memories of all its predecessors princeps and crew are merging together and living again in its ironclad ego. The promise of endless conquest and knowledge. The memories of Mars, where its most precious gears were born. As a pack leader, instinctively, with a bestial instinct embodied in a machine of death, Ferrum Iratus leads with its will the entire battlegroup, forward, as ten thousand years ago, forward, in a great crusade, forward to victory. At any cost.
<< Fire! My red beasts! Fire At Will Fire until victory! >> Princips Bezmenov to its entire battlegroup.
A column tankaz, one of the many beaten back and reappeared at the front lurks on the hill opposite to the central one, and opens fire directly against Ferrum Iratus. The last tank armed with a Soopa Zzap gun strikes furiously the warlord titan, breaking down numerous of its void shields, that is enough to avoid, once again, the sustained fire of the Titan against the Stompa mob.
The warlord titan, the battlegroup commander, though distracted by the impending fire, opens fire on the Stompa mob. The quake cannon, the gatling blaster and the turbolaser destructor fire against the Soopa Stompa, which nevertheless resists the bump, while the volcano cannon hits spectacularly the head of the Soopa Stompa, that explodes instantly silencing the raucous scream of the bad moon warboss, simply evaporated. The Stompa mob moves, leaves the ruins... is broken and falls back!
<< Coleman! Old mine! Finish them! Finish them now and bring me the victory! >> Princips Bezmenov to Calor Mars.
Under the orders of his leader, Calor Mars unleashes its fury in sustained fire. Firmly on its legs, the plasma destructor lights attracting on itself frightening lightning, while the rest of its equipment is unleashed mercilessly. The Soopa Stompa, already on fire, explodes and crumples in on itself, while three of the five Stompa, stabbed in the back, destroyed stop their march. Fire and flames! Flames and fire! The last two vanish from the imperial line of sight, leaving only wreckage, and a crushing defeat behind them.
It's over, and it's glory!
It's over, and are cups of glory in the hands of the Omnissiah's finest.
The Legio Metalica battlegroup stands gloriously on the top of the hill, entire, undefeated, still menacing. The ork tanks on the left flank turn of 180° and follow the chaotic retreat.
It's over, the first contact with the enemy is over, but the war has just begun.
TURN 4. End turn. ORKS WAAGH: 0 ARMY OF THE IMPERIUM: 1 (break the spirits)
<< The first battle was a masterpiece, Legate Pastorius. The service of the legion on our side is unmatched. For The glory of the Imperium! >> Field marshal Tanaiser, at Legate Pastorius of the H.A. Legio Metalica battle group.
