'The soul of the Machine God surrounds thee. The power of the Machine God invests thee. The hate of the Machine God drives thee. The Machine God endows thee with life. Live!' — the Litany of Ignition
Dooom! KA-BOOOM!! Dooom! KA-BOOOM!! Tremble the tall Palaces of Daltan while the screaming hordes ruled by the goff Warlord Zorba on his Great Gargant "Aggro-rolla" break into the sector.
Dooom! KA-BOOOM!! Dooom! KA-BOOOM!! Shout the Warbands of the bad moon, blood axes, Goffs and other outrider clans gathered for the decisive battle.
Dooom! KA-BOOOM!! Dooom! KA-BOOOM!! Thunders the ripped sky, ripped by the war cry of Gork and Mork.
The rapid, disciplined march of the imperial forces end at the shadow of the titan legion. March solemn, inexorable, rifles forward, compact and determined the soldiers of the imperial guard. Men come from many different planets in the galaxy gathered here, for fight, for the Emperor, for Galrisian. The bodies of the native regiments rest by weeks fallen at their feet, while the few militias are now behind the no man's land. At the horizon: screams, fire and steel. Liberate the city, or fall. Men, and giant steel walking gods, for the God Emperor and the God Machine.
The dense, radioactive, stagnant blanket of fog is torn by the passage of the giant warlord titans. Princeps Dacoj on Implacabilis Vindictae's cockpit observes the infantry regiment under his steel feet deploy according to the plan, ready to march to the razed neighborhood in front of them, besides their primary objective.
Nearby, Verbum Caelestis, also in the middle of its infantry regiment advances compact, ready to get on finnich Square, where a third infantry regiment and an ork big gunz mob contend immediately the square, in patrol.
Conqueror Mundorum, escorted by its praetorian combat servitors platoon, patrol the AX68 Highway, covering the last secondary objective of the imperial line. The thick armor of the Titans are still visible damaged and shows the scars of the battle of Baldareen, but the God Machine advances, damaged but not broken. A compact deployment, leaving at the orks a wide possibility of maneuver, but designed to take full advantage of the combined power of the titan legion. A limited war theater will be the key to victory.
The ork hordes deploy, but not having in field the same number of mighty war engines don't accept the Imperial tactical challenge. Placing their secondary objective at the foot of Finnich square, and their primary objective near the AX68 Highway, they leave, for the moment, no target in front of Implacabilis Vindictae, on the razed neighborhoods. The Great Gargant "Aggro-rolla", at the crossroads of Finnich square amid its goff mob, impressive and massive, advances crackling fire, fury and thirst for conquest. Kepler Secundus city is on the verge of surrender. Defeat the Imperial forces here, today, means to take the city; and goff Warlord Zorba loves victory, at least as Napoleork, his hated and feared master.
The Deathskull Mekboy Gargant, with its two krooz missiles on its shoulders, and its cargo of kustom weapons moves on the road to Logar Square, followed by its boyz mob.
In the western sector that lead to the abandoned space port, however, the Stompa mob takes place, followed by the big bad moon mob on their battlewagons and another blood axes mob mounted on a battlefortress. A fast wedge projected toward their outer secondary objective, ready to conquer the entire abandoned sector. Abandoned, at the moment, inevitably by the imperial forces. The ork tactic is ambiguous, designed to conquer the inevitable spaces left by the Imperial deployment.
General Commissar Friedrich Ebersberg von Weyers from his command bunker in the rear coordinates operationally the maneuvers thanks to the command center on the ground of the warlord titan of Princeps Wagner Dacoj. On the horizon, Warlord Zorba shouts his orders by huge megaphones and speakers from his Great Gargant, confused gibberish that in the ears of the orks become devious traps and deceptive maneuvers. The stakes are very high. But it's only the beginning, already on the horizon are seen arriving massive reinforcement forces, ready to converge towards the sector. In just over an hour the entire sector will be a cheerful fire.
