Two lines of Engines meeting in combat. The very earth shakes at the wrath of gods tearing each other apart with laser, with claw, with cannon.

"Enemy Engine, bearing oh-one-five!"

"Ahead, full!"

"Firing solution ready, Princeps!"

"Fire!"

Tankred lashes out with bolter and turbolaser, dodging enemy fire and scoring clean hits on the Xeno-Engines. Over the chatter of vox you hear that one of the Annihilators, a Warhound, has already been grievously wounded.

But the Imperial battle-plan is holding; a counter-charge against the enemy to confound them and break the momentum of their assault.

Ahead of you, five Ork Engines lie ahead.

"All Engines," comes the voice of Lord Herax over the vox. "Be advised: Ork jet-pack infantry are aboard several of their Engines. Bewary of aerial assault. An Ork jump-assault is inaccurate, but even a handful climbing aboard your Engine can be fatal."

Sure enough, your auspex detects Ork life-signs on the hulls of the three frontmost Engines. Plumes of fire roar off their backs as a pack of them jump towards the Contumax Belligator.

Notes on the enemy:

G2, G3 have Stormboys (jet infantry) aboard (G1 already launched its infantry payload)

G1, G2 have a smattering of cannons and claws
G3 has cannons and an odd...device for its armaments. You recall from various briefings that this is a form of magnetic tractor beam, capable of picking up objects as large as tanks and flinging them about.
S1 and S2 have cannons and claws.

Feel free to ask any questions if you need clarification.

what dice are we rolling? 1d20 for each weapon right?

>>31307281
Ah, yes, as a reminder:

For combat rolls, please roll 1d20 for each weapon you are firing. For example, if you want Tankred to fire both the Vulcan and the Turbolaser, roll 2d20. The first roll result will be for the Turbolaser, the second will be for the Vulcan.
If you also want to try re-raising Void Shields while also firing weapons, roll 3d20. The 1st and 2nd numbers will be the Turbolaser and Vulcan, respectively, while the 3rd result will be the Void Shields roll. If you're attempting to use the Pugio on top of all of this, then roll 4d20. The Pugio will be the 4th roll result.

Your flesh-arm clenches as it spits a hail of death. Huge mass-reactive shells leap forth like a swarm of enraged insects, tearing apart Ork jet-infantry flying towards the Warbringer.

Lord Herax thanks you for your assistance, but your mind, focused as it is on taming and leading the snarling, bucking spirit of Tankred, barely registers it. Another buck of your arm, and a red lance of light tears away at its shields.

"Auspex readings: enemy Engine's Power Fields are down!" says Cuugo.

Then comes the returning fire.

The oily, swirling surface of your Void Shields flicker as it absorbs incoming fire, sending shells and cannon-fire screaming into the Immaterium. You grunt as red welts of pain blossom across your torso and right shoulder.

"Shields holding," says Cuugo.

"Acknowledged," you manage to say through the stinging pain. "Ahead and leaft, full stride."

"Aye, Princeps. Auspex shows two more packs of jet-infantry have launched from the Xeno Engines." Indeed, you see through the Manifold that reckless Ork infantry were jetting their way through the air--one pack towards you, another towards the Clibanarius.

>>31308091
You eye the Manifold, and you grimace in response. The Burning Brand was getting slammed by munitions from three Ork Engines, and its Shields were dwindling, the oil-swirls on the Shield surface fading away. If Servatus is getting worried, he's certainly not voxing it.

"Moderati Ossea, target the same Ork Engine, bolter on xenos coming towards us. Hexa's going to have to fend off the infantry herself."

Another lance of light, and the Orkish abomination of a machine is cored. What passes for its reactor goes critical, detonating the entire Engine and raining flaming debris on the battlefield.

"Engine kill!" crows Cuugo. But your joy turns sour as the incoming jet infantry swerve through the air, somehow avoiding the majority of your shells. Most of them miss and crash into the earth, or smash into your armored skin and pulverize themselves. But a handful have managed to latch on.

"Pugnatores," you vox, "Be advised, Tankred has xeno-infantry boarders."

"Confirmed, Tankred, Clibanarius is much the same," says Princeps Atarko.

There isn't a point to charging if we can't actually work a Pugio stab into it. I just thought the actual clash of melee combat would be helpful for ridding boarders.

>>31309737
Wait, so you'd like Tankred to try and bodyslam one of the Gargants to try and shake the infantry off?. In that case, I'd say you'd have to roll 1d20 to try and minimize hull damage.

>>31309793
yeah lets try to not do that and get in melee for the gargant, which undoubtedly has better close combat gear than us

>>31309229
Alright, that looks like a negatory for the charging idea, and unfortunately we must move on...

--------

You can feel the Ork boarders on your skin, like ants crawling along your flesh. They seem to be crawling along your arms and shoulders to your head, their crude chopping blades trying to find purchase on your adamantium armor.

"Pugnatores, this is Clibanarius. These ants are nothing to us, we will continue the battle."

"Hexa, my good daughter, you must--"

"Negative, Lord, Clibanarius cannot retreat now."

"Princeps," says Mistra, a hint of concern in her voice, "Despite what Princeps Atarko says, I recommend we withdraw and lower Shields. The Uthuans can shoot them off of us."

"No, Moderati," you say. "I agree with Atarko. If we withdraw, we lose what little numerical advantage we have. We will execute Maneuver Sigma-Alpha-Tertius on my mark."

Cuugo gives a nervous chuckle. "Hold on to your seats, then..."

"Princeps, I cannot--"

"Maneuver Sigma-Alpha Tertius--"

"Wait--!"

"Mark."

It begins with a sway, with Tankred's wolf-head moving side to side. Then the arms follow, each pendulum-swing of your ironform flinging off abominable Xenos from your blessed hull, screaming as they are hurled away.

Tankred continues shaking, swaying, flinging the unclean Xenos off its ironform. Cuugo seems to cackling, while Mistra sits rigid and stock still, hands in a vice-grip on her armrests. You yourself feel a little nauseous.

Soon enough, it comes to a stop.

"Princeps Nicator," you say, "Check the auspex for Xeno-life signs." Indeed, the sensatino of crawling ants is gone, and through the Manifold you can see the broken bodies of Orks scattering the ground.

"One moment, Princeps," says Cuugo in reply. A pause. "None detected, maneuver Sigma-Alpha-Tertius successful."

Mistra's reply is breathless. "P-Princeps, weapon banks stand ready."

>>31310677

Gladius Fraglans was targeting S1 (the Stompa farthest away from you).

"Darius!" Servatus' voice is tinged with strain. "I just need a few more moments to deal with the one in front, you go and support Atarko."

You can tell from the Manifold, however, that the Burning Brand's shields are on the verge of failure.

>>31310704
"The little ants are getting closer to my head now. The big one appears to have a breaching charge of some kind..."

The Manifold tells you that Clibanarius' shields are damaged, but holding.

>>31310766
Clibanarius needs to disengage and drop shields right the fuck now so our supporting infantry can help them, C can leave FC and CB to fight the two gargants its engaged with and we are not in a position to help Clibanarius, best to support GF and finish this fight quickly so we can aid our fellow Titans

>>31311145
I'm pretty sure we don't want to be doing that, its effective against enemy titans...

Your arm shakes as the Turbolaser's discharge shrieks out of its barrel. Tankred adds its own fury to the blow, and the result is a laser bolt larger than any you've seen from a Warhound. It lances through what passes for the Engine's ugly head, punching through armor as though it were air. Your Megabolter, such as it is, is but an afterthought.

None of the Orks seem to be firing up on you; the two on the left are busy dancing with three other Pugnatores, while the smaller one in front of the Gladius is occupied with larger prey.

>>31311145
The targeted Titan must lower Void Shields for this to work. The Megabolter is +1 against Titans (compared to +6 that Turbolasers get against Titans). Since you'd be using controlled bursts to clean infantry off the hull, I'd say you would instead be rolling a straight 1d20 for simplicity's sake.

Restore shields.

Have Clibanarius withdraw and Uluan tanks fire on the boarders. If Clibanarius gets a free moment, it should attempt to shake the boarders free.

ASAP, we should turn east to assist in the destruction in the remaining Gargants in the field.

>>31311353
I believe so: since the game is divided into Movement, Shooting, and Assault (i.e. melee) phases, it is quite possible to shoot 1 target and charge another one.

Of course, a lot of models don't carry weapons that let them shoot and then charge in the same round...

Those rolls

(Hrm, after this prequel is over I may need to rethink how I count the dice roll results...)

Rolled 11, 6 = 17

>>31313088
could have them cancel out or could just get rid of crit fail/success and just make them exception but regular results that don't auto override

>>31312962
Yes. GF will follow us to destroy 1. Rest can move to 2 and 3.

"Fire!"

The Turbolaser rips through what Power Fields are left on the Xeno-Engine, shearing away the abomination's left arm and most of its torso. A burst of Megabolter fire shears away its ugly head, and the decapitated Engine continues plodding forward, all aim and direction lost.

"Darius," comes Lord Herax's voice. "We will handle the rest here. Go, lend Tankred's guns to the Imperials to our east--they cannot stand alone against the Xeno-Engine."

Help the Imperials? But what of the Warmongers?

"No. If the Imperials fail, then we will be outmaneuvered. We cannot allow this, and you are in the best position to go assist them. Return to us when your work is finished."

You nod, even though Herax can't see it. "Compliance. Moderati, left, full left."

You don't get very far, however, when a Karthadi voxes in.

"Cannon fire spotted from Site Primaris! The anti-orbital guns are firing! I repeat, the anti-orbital guns--!"

The very earth explodes as cannon shells, designed to tear apart ships out in the very void, smash into the melee. The vast majority miss by a wide margin--anti-orbital guns were never designed for such close-range work.

But one lucky shell finds its mark.

"Princeps," says Mistra, her voice shaking. "Princeps, the Annihilators report that the Helios, one of their Reavers, has fallen. An anti-orbital shell tore away their right leg. Blood of the Machine..."

"All units, this is Orpheus Tychore..."

Could The Tung do any damage to the orbital guns?

>>31313588

>Proceed with the assault as planned

As we charge forwards, the orbital guns will have to fire upon the Ork forces as well, plus the shots will be poorly aimed. It was just unlucky that a Titan was hit.

>>31313588

>>>S1
with both guns

>>Peel off forces to make a strike on the anti-orbital guns--we cannot afford to be engaged with the enemy while being shelled

Oh and fire on S1 with both guns as we charge the Gargants to the east.

>>31313700
They can certainly kill the gunners and use grenades and lasguns to ruin the controls, yes.

>>31313701
Second.
>>31313755
In that case a path will need to be opened for them. They could probably slip through. The Ork engines can't attack them while busy with our Titans.
When we're done with the mob we should send them to attack the guns.

>>31313755
>Peel off forces to make a strike on the anti-orbital guns--we cannot afford to be engaged with the enemy while being shelled
Then have the Tung pull of and hit the orbital guns, they are fast enough to get there destroy them and get back before the guns do any more damage

>>31313825
Second. Send the Tung there. They won't be any help against the engines anyway.

>>31313885
Voting ends.

And with that...

THREAD END

We will pick up next time with a Tung assault on the anti-orbital guns! Meanwhile, Tankred and the Uthuans stand against a Gargant Mob, and the assault on Site Primaris continues.

Next thread will probably be Thursday, April 10, 7 pm Eastern Standard Time. However, I may have something personal pop up on Thursday; as always, keep an eye out on my twitter at https://twitter.com/TwiceBornQM for more updates.

Thanks for playing! Archiving thread...
