Wth is this shit?

+1 Wound.

You are currently in the hangar of 'The Maelstrom,' the Battle Barge on which you serve. After re-fit, you will be re-inserted via drop pod, in conjunction with Brother Iratus. You have 30 minutes to prepare.

Acquire bitches, purge Slaaneshi impulses within them.

+1 Wound, for sure.

>>5824997
+1 wound, although +1 attack would be good as well.

>Acquire bitches
You have found Rin the Psyker. She is currently confined to Librarian/Galemaster Dewey's Quarters.

You have no other bitches acquired.

Do we get a sneak peak at Brother Iratus's stats?

Also, which Chapter are we? (just out of curious)

>>5825058
Acquire Rin
Place in bin
?????
HHHHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHH

>>5825088
Why would we try to drag Rin in a Bin?

>>5824997
My vote is +1 to A and to get a Power Sword. We're just a fresh Sergeant right? So no prospect of master crafting that sword I guess?

>>5825091
I was under the impression that our Sergent promotion was temporary.

I say +1W. We already have 3 power weapon attacks (power sword/bolt pistol), what we need is some durability.

Considering that the Brother Mansoon and Brother Iratus team single-handedly cleared a traitor base and then proceeded to drop into the rear of the main enemy, relieve the pinned Astartes force and then take out an orbital cannon that prevented the Chapter battle barge from providing support, I'd say we're up for a promotion.

>>5825122

>>5825141
How about rallying up our own Tac Squad in that case? Or at least arranging for one as soon as we land planetside again?

oh, and get another Str - Im gonna assume our epic plot armour will protect us

Let's finish our business in the armory and meet up with command to discuss the next task at hand. One victorious battle doesn't mean the war is won.

>>5825205

Seeing as he's using actual in-game stats.. uuh.. no. We'll get shredded by a LOT of things with only 2 wounds to our name.I'd say +1 W.

>Wound Limit Reached.

You hear the thunderous steps of a mighty Dreadnought stride across the bay to meet you as a drop pod opens for boarding.

"I AM WELL BROTHER. LET US RETURN TO CAPTAIN SAEVIO AND AID IN THE PURGE."

He passes by you as a pair of Techmarines step aboard to ensure he is safely secured. You manage to safely strap yourself against the bulkhead of an empty passenger slot. The doors close.

A hum of prayers and litanies of faith and protection fill the air around you as you suddenly drop into silence.

Nothing. Just the sound of your own breathing through the recyclers in your suit of Power Armour.

Slowly, the noise outside begins to get louder as you hit the atmosphere once again. Screaming through the sky as you did mere hours ago, you land with the impact of a meteor, your pod safely landing 50 meters from the established drop point. You remain strapped in as Iratus charges out, his assault cannon revving to speed, only groaning as his auspex registers "No Targets."

You leave the pod.

>Input Command...

rolled 1, 5, 2 = 8

>>5825294
Find out where Captain Saevio and the enemy are, relative to us.

>>5825294
So it's just Iratus and us? Wow I guess the chapter is spread pretty thin. What are our objectives?

>>5825294

can we at least vox for some orders?

>>5825294
Get to the capt.

>>5825294
Use our auspex to locate the nearest friendlies and move to support them.

>Find out where Captain Saevio and the enemy are, relative to us.

You move from the drop zone towards the main lines. The base has been once again brought under Imperial Control, guardsmen are escorting traitors to cells for later purposes. You find the Captain discussing things with some guardsmen and a Commissar and Platoon Commander. There is a group of Veterans behind them. Saevio notices your presence.

"Ah, Brother Mansoon. Good to see you back on the field of battle. I trust the heretic was questioned?"

"Indeed, sir. Galemaster Dewey assisted me. He has contacted the Inquisition concerning the girl. It appears she is a latent psyker."

"Astounding that one such as her was not found sooner. The Commander here informs me that a group of guardsmen who were around her began to act strange after a few days. Seems the taint of chaos runs thick. But, nay, the Orks are the threat now. We have driven them back to their Ork Fortress over the hills, but they are dug in tightly. We can cut this incursion off at the head if we destroy their base and remove their Warboss. A Waaagh! is nothing without its leader."

"Understood. What are your orders, Captain?"

"You were promoted by your Brother Sergeant to act in his stead when you landed. I am formally awarding you the title of Brother Sergeant and as such, you will be assigned a squad of Battle Brothers to guide and watch over as your own.

But until then, these guardsmen have volunteered to follow you. Your task is to scout out the Ork Fortress and find a gap in their defenses. Report back immediately, and may the Emperor watch over you, Brother."

"The Emperor Protects, Captain."

The guardsmen salute you in their carapace armour. There are 20. They have an assortment of weapons. 2 have Plasmaguns, 6 have Lasguns, 6 have Shotguns, 2 have Heavy Flamers, and 4 have a Power Fist and a Laspistol. They all have Frag grenades, Meltabombs, and 2 have Demolition Charges. They all also wear camo cloaks.

>Input Command...

>>5825531
A scouting mission without Sniper Rifles? See if 2 of the shotgun wielding Guardsmen can get re-equipped with sniper rifles.

>>5825531
>Ork Fortress
haha, oh wow.
In all seriousness, though, let's get ourselves a camo cloak. There's no way we can be all sneaky like without one.

rolled 4, 3, 6 = 13

>>5825531
And what of Brother Iratus?

>scouting mission
>camo cloaks
>Brother Iratatus

>And what of Brother Iratus?

"And what of Brother Iratus, Captain?"

"He's not one for the gathering of information, Brother. However, he shall accompany you to the outskirts of the hills, provided that you need support. If a general alarm is sounded, he will cover your extraction."

>Sniper Rifles

You move to the guardsmen. You point to two with shotguns.

"Guardsmen, what are your names?"
A: "Voldune, sir."
B: "Belarius, sir."

"Do you have access to an armoury?"

"Yes, sir. We do."
"Good. We require two sniper rifles."

The two guardsmen salute and charge over to a bunker. A moment passes, and an irate Techpriest bellows out various profanities as the two veterans return with a Long Las in hand.

>Input Command...

>>5825531
Definitely see if we can get those shotguns switched out for sniper rifles. Those four power fisted guardsmen and Mansoon can take care of whatever close-combat comes up.

Also where is the Ork fortress and can we get some intel on the local area?

>>5825621
We need a camo cloak too before we go out. How else do you expect a 7 foot+ tall guy in power armor to go unobserved? Cover his eyes so that the Orks can't see him...

On second thought, that just might work.

>>5825621

Move out

>>5825646
Astartes are damn stealthy when they want to be. If anything those camo cloaks should go the snipers.

Arrange a patrol formation. Long las in front with lasgun spotters about 100m ahead. Shotgun and las on either flank 75m out. Two pairs of Lasgun and shotguns to the rear 50m out. Rest are dispersed in a 25m radius. Move out, keep low. The Emperor Protects.

>>5825646
Definately camo cloak or some sort of invisibilty technology, make sure that we all have combeads as well, may be useful to take a Vox aswell.

>>5825698
Combeads are standard equipment.

>>5825700
What about a vox operator? It could be useful to split into teams of 10

>>5825720
Combeads are effective short-range comms. If anything, the brother-sergeant's comms are equal to, if not better than a vox-caster.

>>5825720
Also, I doubt the Orks would even consider jamming the imperial frequencies. NPR: Gork n Mork anyone?

>>5825731
But what about the guardsmen? Is it possible to filter them the comms through our system?

>Arrange a patrol formation. Long las in front with lasgun spotters about 100m ahead. Shotgun and las on either flank 75m out. Two pairs of Lasgun and shotguns to the rear 50m out. Rest are dispersed in a 25m radius. Move out, keep low. The Emperor Protects.

You arrange in this formation as you leave the Imperial lines, the sky beginning to darken. Iratus hangs 50m behind your group to give your squads some distance to creep. It takes you an hour to traverse the battlefield, Orks and Guardsmen slaughtered all around, your occasional battle brother slain atop the bodies of several orks, too far for the Apothecaries to safely recover their geneseed. Each one another to avenge.
You reach the 'gates' of the Ork Fortress, essentially two large hills with a Waaagh! Banner spanning the gap. Iratus takes a firing position at a safe distance so that if the situation merits, he can swing into action and support you. Your squad is forced to tighten formation as you enter the pass between the hills...

>>5825743
Imperial frequencies. Shit's all standard.

>>5825747

>between hills

send a scout up the side to check for ambush (weve already had one lot of kommandos)

>>5825743
>Yes.

Your squads creep slowly, moving from cover to cover with the effective speed of some of your own initiates. You're impressed at their skill at infiltration. You halt the group as you near a sentry post manned by a grot with a Big Shoota.

>Input Orders...

>>5825747
Wait... is the pass leading directly to the gate?

If so, lets go around the possible ambush and see if we can check everything out from another angle. Can we consult our sat images and see wuich side of the base is higher than the other's? Is the place all flat? I'd like to get some more information about the place before I send my squad of guardsmen out to die.

>>5825798
>It's more of a set of hills function as a gate to the valley/inset where the Ork Fortress lies. Think of it as a Ork Fortress set in a mountain. No, wait, crater would be more accurate.

>>5825820

snipe grot

>>5825783
Survey the area. Grots never work alone and I want to make sure we don't raise an alarum just for one measly gretchin. If there are no observers nearby, I say take him down, but if there are patrols, we should leave him for the moment.

>>5825820
Can we get an MS paint map?

>>5825852 here

Don't snipe grot. Odds are good he's bait. We don't have our Battle-Brothers with us; best to play it save when we've got the lives of Guardsmen riding on us not sucking.

>>5825820
Ah. Well I want something on our flanks if we're going into any kind of valley.

2 lasguns, 2 shotguns and one long las out to each flank and slightly ahead of the patrol. I want them to spot any possible ambushes.

Change formation into a column. Lasgun and flamer in front, followed by another lasgun and flamer, two powerfists, our brother-sergeant, two powerfists, and finally our two plasma guns taking up the rear.

An alert eye and steady hand are the armor and weapon of the faithful.

>>5825783
Spread out to scout the general area. A lone sentry post won't do much, so there must be something else waiting in store.

>>5825858

>>5825924

definatly snipe the grot

"Belarius, on my mark, bless the sentry with your long las. Everyone else, keep low and see if the greenskins notice."

>>5825962
"Mark."

>Here there be Squigs
I'm pretty sure those Squigs are there to attack anyone going after the sentry. If the Guardsmen have any grenades, I suggest we get one to throw a frag into the pack.

rolled 6 = 6

>"Mark."

Belarius takes aim with the Long Las.

>>5826018
Leave the rash action to the Commissariat. The Codex Astartes provides a time for caution. If the squigs attack, they will charge right into our fire; that will be the time for grenades, not before.

>>5826026

The Emprah hath blessed his aim indeed!

>>5826026
Nice Shot, Belarius.

also, did we just get Bel-Air'd by that guardsman?

>>5826026
>>5826026
Hot damn. Nice shot that guy.

>>5826026
His aim is dead on as the grot's head pops like a grape. You register the squigs beneath the tower becoming agitated, moving towards your squads to investigate.

>You have 3 posts to react.

>>5825924
We'll use one longlas for getting sight slightly around the ridge, the second longlas will offer cover. Both snipers are covered by supporting Guardsmen, and we have a few with the shorter range weapons watching our flanks with Brother Iratus.

gunline

Gunline, guys with power fists in front, flamers/shotguns flanking, lasguns/plasma/snipers further back shooting into the crowd.

>>5826055
Move the guys with the shotguns up front. Throw frags into the path of the Squigs.

>Heavy Flamers

>>5826051
Move flamer and shotgun guardsmen to point with the lasguns behind, if the Squigs advance on you, they'll work to suppress. Snipers should maintain current positions and down the closest squigs first. Powerfisters should flank the shotguns and flamers, if the squigs get to close they engage and butcher them in melee with your support.

>Sniper LoS Angles Established.
>Power Fists, Flamers and Shotguns up front, support fire in the back
>GUNLINES.

You move up along with the short range combat troops, bringing your bolt pistol out along with your Power Sword. The squiggs charge at you. They're met with criss-crossing plumes of purifying promethium as the heavy flamers scorch them. Shotguns easily make quick work of the rest. The Power Fist users don't even pull out their pistols.

>Input Commands...

probably be best to prepare for a fighting retreat - the sniper might be quiet but shooting at the squigs will probably attract attention - or not, they are orks

>>5826122
Sorry Power Fist guys. If it's any consolation you aren't covered in squig bitz.

Try to move around the ridge and to get a look at the Orks and how they might be responding or entrenched. If they've noticed anything going on fall back to the current positions of cover among the rocks or to Brother Iratus' position, he'll definitely appreciate some guests.

>>5826122
Move up behind the sentry post. Get a sniper up in the nest and have him report what he sees.

Squad B- 1x Long Las, 2x Lasgun, 2x Shotgun
Squad C- Brother Sergeant, 4x Powerfists, 2x Heavy Flamers
Squad D- 2x Plasma guns, 2x Lasguns.

Squad A and B move up to the guard post, C and D provide overwatch.

>Move up behind the sentry post.

You take postitions beneath the post as Belarius moves up the ladder to the post. He peers through his scope at the Ork Fortress.

*bzzt* "Sir, they're building something. It looks big."

"What does it look like?"

"Looks like... Oh, Throne. You might want to inspect this yourself, Sir."

You climb up the Tower, obviously meant to house an Ork as well, as it does not give way to your bulk. The guardsman hands you the Long Las scope. Your night vision enhancements kick into effect as both of your hearts skip a beat.

You can see the distinct shape of a Stompa being constructed.

The Ork Fortress itself is walled in the front heavily, with lighter armour in the rear. The front has 4 Shoota Posts, and you can see a Mek with some monstrous weapon strapped to his back, Emperor only knows what it does.

>Input Commands...

>>5826400
Look to see if there's any loose rock, fractures in the cliff, or similar that we could get to. A rockslide could do wonders for our cause. Also, make sure Iratus is within reach to assist should we need it.

>>5826400

Look more closely at the Ork Fortress for weaknesses.

>>5826400
Call that shit in yo. Can we get an orbital bombardment?

>Updated Battle Map

>Other Weaknesses

You glance through the scope again, looking around the fortress. The Orks have done a roight propa job makin' der fort strong'n Orky. A Waaagh! Banner covers the arch over the gates, with the thick walls leaving little to the imagination as to just how tough they would be to breach. However, if you can manage to get around back behind the base, the walls are much thinner.

>Rockslide

You look to the mountain ridge, but nothing looks like it would give very much debris.

How close is the stompa to completion? Just from looking from where we are at?

Immediately notify Captain Saevio.

>>5826400
Take up defensive positions while the longlas snipers use their scopes to scout out the fortress more thoroughly. See if it would be possible to trigger a rockslide onto the fort using meltas on the nearby cliffside. Also, vox Brother Iratus and get him to move closer. This Stompa should not be taken lightly, and the Mek itself is plenty dangerous.

>>5826464
Can Iratus climb up the hill that the fort is nestled in? If we can get him up there he can dive bomb them.

"I LIKE SWINGS!"

>>5826464

battle barge -> nuke it

>>5826464
In that case, can we scale the cliff side and then come around to attack the Orks from the rear of their fort? This would give us the higher ground in an assault, which could be invaluable.
>>5826474
And this too. The Captain should know that the Orks here are constructing a Stompa in case the attack fails. Other Orks might be building their own too.

>>5826400
Look for anything explosive your snipers might be able to hit. Bring Iratus up closer to your position.

>How close is the stompa to completion

From what you see, you'd gauge it at around 70% completed. It has the distinct shape, and it's arms are moving. Grots and a few Meks are all over it, welding in 'xtra amour plates, and generally fixin' it up to be dead stompy.

>>5826527

find the red barrels.
Light a cigar and casually toss the lighter at the barrels.
Pimp walk off.

(Need a drawfag of Iratus ina big fur coat and hat with a peacock feather in)

>>5826571

That's an idea. The orks must have plenty of arms and ammunition in dat dere fortress. If it's stored in the back, all the better: we could set that off and make a breach.

Well since there is no fear of it starten up anytime soon the only worry I have is whether its guns shot yet, so i say we leave a few guardmen at the sentry tower and send the rest (includen our sarge) to circle around back. The sentry tower team then starts a ditraction while team 2 sneaks in plants demos on the stompa.

>>5826583
Attempted once by a Vindicare assassin. It didn't work out too well and he was forced to withdraw. See if we can get an Earthshaker strike or orbital bombardment in. Failing that, check around to see if there are any heavy weapons nearby that can help us with support.

>scale the cliff side
It would take some time footslogging, but you could manage to get over the other cliffside with some Grav Chutes or Jump Packs.

>Alert the Captain
You thumb through the vox channels, but the valley is acting as a signal hole. You can't get a message out. You descend to the ground once again.

"Guardsmen, who amongst you has the legs to carry a message at the speed of a boltgun shot?"

"That'd probably be Ibarazaki, Sir. She's the fastest one of us."
One of the plasmagunners points at a female guardsman whose looking over her combat shotgun. You can see what look like Mk 8 Astartes Pattern Greaves over her lower thighs, but you see that they're simply armoured facings for bionic replacements.
She jumps to her feet at attention as you approach.
"Guardsman? You have the speed to get our message to the Imperial Lines with haste?"
"I'm the fastest here, Sir. I can beat any of these laggers in a race or out last any of them. They got the endurance of an old grox."
"Good. Emperor guide you, Guardsman. Get to Captain Saevio and alert him of the Stompa being constructed."
She salutes you and chambers a round into her shotgun as she tears off into the darkness from whence you came. She's a lot faster than she looks.

>>5826606
I agree with this. Long range bombardment would be ideal given the circumstances. Even if the guns aren't attached to the Stompa yet, they could still well be functional and you KNOW that there will be nothing stopping the Orks from firing the weapons with reckless abandon.

Can the snipers drop the Big Mek? If so, it may set back their ability to complete the Stompa. the mek should be our priority as the key to the stompa's completion, then take down the work crew.

>>5826629
Definitely, see if both long-lasgunners can bring down that Mek. Although it might have a personal force field so is it worth blowing the element of surprise? Is there enough cover of either foliage or darkness to creep along the cliff wall to the south of the fort?

>>5826629

Ibarazaki, EH. How about a girl with heavy bolters for lower arms?

But we have no idea what that gun on the mek is, right? So yeah we better take it out at range first.

How many orks can we see?

>>5826720
>>5826772
>>5826786
The snipers are going to need good, clean shots at the Mek. Preferably at the same time. The bigger an ork is, the tougher it is to take down, and we don't want to just 'tickle' the Mek.

>How many orks?
tl;dr: SHITLOADS.

>Snipers on the Mek
Your snipers take aim with their rifles,

>>5826833

rolled 1, 2 = 3

>>5826859
Two shots....

One of the guardsmen with a shotgun gets on the big shoota in the sentry tower, along with the 2 snipers. One with heavy flamer the 6 lasguners, and the 2 plasmagunners set up some barricades at the bottom of the tower. Send a lasgunner to get Brother Iratus to set up a crossfire from our first position. The rest witch should consist of 2 shoutgunners given the demo packs, 4 power fists, a heavy flamer and the sarge, this group should then sneak around back and wait for everyone to get in place. Sentry team starts an attack from forified position as a distraction and team 2 moves in to destroy the stompa.

rolled 5, 1 = 6

>>5826868
The guardsmen hit the Big Mek with the huge weapon but his thick flesh proves too resilient to that volley. You can see the huge weapon swivel around to aim at your group.

So is the snotling actually tearing us up, or has it died from.... well, everything about the situation (going through the Warp then chewing through an Astartes)

>>5827129
The guardsmen put a wound onto the Big Mek as Iratus' gun clears and revs to speed. His huge legs move faster as he charges the lines. You manage to keep pace.

The guardsmen lay down surpressive fire from afar with the plasma guns and lasguns, the two snipers taking potshots at other targets, trying to stop the Big Shoota turrets.

With a furious leap, you jump atop Iratus' chassis, using it as a spring vault to launch yourself upwards to the Ork Fortress Battlement. You bring your power weapon down into the mek, using your momentum and weight to drive it home, slaying the Ork. You kick the body away as you withdraw your blade, having pierced the Shok Attack Gun. You're lucky you kick the body away, as it explodes in a flash, leaving a smal crater of un-reality as the matter that occupied the space is ripped into the warp.

If both the heavy flamers are still alive, have them set the Ork Fortress on fire. There's bound to be plenty of flammable and explosive objects in there. Liberal use of grenades over the walls is also recommended.

Have the Guard set up covering fire on the ork hordes as well, they'll need to at least hold them back for a little bit.

We've also got 2 demo charges, don't forget....


Also, apologies Negi, I did the archiving as Quest #3 by accident. Anyone know how to change the name on suptg?

Do this, and then initiate tactical retreat.

>Stompa Working?

You hear a sick grinding as the skeletal form of the Stompa starts to move before your eyes. Though unarmoured, it's still incredibly deadly.You're not even distracted as one of the towers falls as Iratus rips the support beams from the foundation. The Stompa revs up the massive chainsaw arm in addition to firing off a blast from a Super Dakka Kannon at your supporting squads, utterly annihilating them in a hail of shells. Iratus fights on below.

Will you be enough to stop the Stompa? Or will aid arrive in time to help? How long can Iratus continue to fight? Will his ammunition outlast his fury?

Find out next time on...

Looking forward to it.

Jesus we lost the entire squad? I can't but feel that even if we take out that Stompa it'll be a Pyrrhic victory. Still, Ave Imperator! Their deaths will not be in vain!
