Arnock quickly rose back to feet after taking the sound to his shoulder. He drew both of his Chainswords letting them roar out. "Time to die filthy xenos," he said with anger. Arnock activated his jump pack and tried to land dead center of the horde. He would then begin to try to carve a bloody path through them.

"Denatus, tsk tsk. " Letting his brothers name play right into his chiding quips Davian locked a steady eye on the Deff Dread and continued conducting his heavy weapon's movements with ease. Steadying its rate of fire with a brief moment of leaving its trigger free proud wearer of the Emperor's own Aquila and devoted son of Fulgrim held his head up high and let loose a laugh at newest order, sweeping weapon muzzle above a line of his own brothers' heads and aiming for whatever mockery these xenos considered heavy support. A wall of bullets meant little if they couldn't manage to even hit with it, let alone penetrate with such paltry slugs that impacted their armor yet left only ugly marks like shells striking marble, only difference being they remained marvelous despite such marring spots.

"Now look there at brother Arnock! Come now Hadrian will you let him overstep you like that? " Then there was the stoically silent pair of brothers, an oddity among oddities in not only had they both been elevated to become astartes but were rather quiet at the moment as well. "Seems the Jobs have forgotten how to speak, suppose I can carry that weight for them. " A laugh of pure unfiltered amusement came forward, everything said all in good nature even if he had meant a slight reprimand at Denatus' off the mark missile.

OOC: Shooting Lootas

Denatus silently cursed at himself for such a missfire, that was much below his standards, and then the light mockery of it, infuriating.
Though he kept up his work as he loeaded Krack missile into his launcher, also taking aim at the advancing walker before pulling the trigger, this time he wouldent miss.

"Let us Show these green skins the Swordsmen of Chemos and The Emperor's Children brothers!" Theo yelled as he put his bolter to his side. Grabbing his bolt pistol and chain sword he joined the charge with there sergeant and other brothers beside of one of the Job brother.

Using his bolt pistol he shot two orks boys in the head that almost got close to him, going for the neck of the next green skin, Theo brought his chain sword through the neck of the beast decapitating it before it could strike at the Theo. He could see several life runes from his legion blink out as this happen he bit his lip with rage for the fallen.

Caphen had yet to speak, he was focusing on ending the lives of these savages. As him and his brothers charged Caphen finally vocalized. "For the Emperor! Death to his foes!" The battlecry of the legion inspired him to his very core, several other astartes echoed his cry and the vigour filled him even further.

A pair of orks recklessly engaged Illios, and after mere seconds they lay twitching on the ground with Caphen not breaking a sweat. "Is this all they have brothers?!"

OOC: At work, sorry for lackluster combat

Mikael advanced on the ork charge, bolter in hand and saving his combat knife for the very forefront of the melee. He engaged in the battle in complete silence, almost meditative, as he squeezed the trigger once for each ork, took a few steps, and then squeezed the trigger again, until one, two orks fell to his charge, and he pulled out his combat knife to cut the throat of a third boy, pulling him down to earth and finishing him with a third bolt to the head.

Primus Mason Brahga was having a good day.

His men had dropped in flawlessly with elements of the Third Legion, their gunmetal Void Armor a stark contrast to the regal colours of the Emperor's Children. However as Brahga had learned in his years supporting the Astartes, once the bolts began to fly they all bled red. At least, he thought they all did. He had heard rumors that the Eighteenth Legion not only had red eyes, but black blood. Anyway, they had dropped right into a well ordered and perfectly coordinated deployment once their boots kissed the ground, as was the way of Astartes and especially the Third. From there it had been riding shotgun on the vehicles on loan, since the 5777th was traditionally designed for a Void War and no amount of yelling down the line in the Imperial Army ever accomplished what an ignored requisition could also fail to do. One day he might be able to snag his men properly sized transport.

Now they were coming to grips with the Greenskin menace! There were few Xeno that Brahga enjoyed fighting more than the Orks and their unending tide. As the best trained and best equipped regiments of the Imperial Army, he met the prospect of tanning Greenskin hide with zeal. Hefting his power axe across one shoulder and firing off with a high-powered Blast Pistol in his free hand, the faceless helmet of the Primus began to bark orders to his own men. "You heard the Lord-Sergeant! Solar Auxilia, close range fire support! Lasrifles and rotor cannons, keep the Greenskins from the flanks! The rest of you, advance with Volkites and Power Axes to the fore! We'll shed plenty of Ork blood before this war is won, might as well get started!"

Yes, a good day indeed. Excellent soldiers serving alongside perfect warriors.

Emperor's Children advanced in perfect crescent formation, their pistols first in taking lives and their melee weapons following in close second as they crushed the Greenskin attack with a push of their own. However Greenskins were no ordinary enemy and what would be quickly turned into a rout by any other enemy when facing such disciplined counterattack, the Orks turned into a good thing. "HUMIEZ NO LONGA HIDIN BEHIND DAT ROUBLE!!" a rather large Nob with even bigger chainaxe roared nearby, " KRUMP EM BOYS!! SHOW EM WHOZ DA BIGGEST AND DA BADDEST!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!"

A unified "Waaagh" once again broke the sound of combat as hundred of green throats cried it at the same time, before redoubling their efforts and giving a counter-charge of their own. "Retain disciplined fire. Cover your brothers while they reload, cut them forward and take no step back," Sergeant Callus shouted but it was too late - the Orks struck en mass and the battle went down to simple yet brutal melee brawl.

First one to suffer was Hadrian who happened to draw the attention of the big loud Nob. Couple of bolts exploded against the Ork's armor but they failed to do any special damage as the Greenskin swatted Assault Marine aside with the blunt edge of his chain choppa, breaking his left shoulder pad and throwing the warrior on the ground. Hadrian was then ganged up by a half a dozen of Ork Boys who stabbed, kicked and smashed at his form, giving him a number of wounds across his head and torso (OOC you can kill 2 of them with your next post).

Even more Greenskins tried to push in front and take a bite at the downed Marine before they were cut down by precise bolter fire - Mikael was on the job as he sniped four Orks with his superior aim. Two members of the 9th squad were with him as well and they added their own fire to the mix but then a loud sound from above could be heard as a huge Ork, almost large as the one who downed Hadrian, dropped down on them with the help of some sort of a primitive jump pack. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! DIE HUMIE!!!!" it barked as it flattened one Marine on the landing, following it with a sweeping strike of its choppa that cut the second Marine in half. The strike was so powerful that it followed through and took Mikael on side, just below his shoulder guard and opened his torso while tossing him on the ground like a ragged doll. He felt blood flowing as well as a familiar sting of broken ribs.

Near them, Isaiah cut a bloodied path through the Greenskins. A score of them fell beneath the strikes of his chainsword while in return, none of them could harm him as he moved too fast for the eye to see. Even so young, he obviously showed signs of great skill which would now be put to a test as he drew the attention of the Nob who wounded Hadrian. The large Ork barreled through lesser of his kind and pointed a meaty fist at Isaiah. "Flashy git! Youz fast but dodge dis!" it laughed and swung huge chain choppa at the Marine, missing his head by an inch. (OOC You can kill the Nob with your next post).

Caphen was also successful in his initial charge but after killing two more boys he ended up surrounded by the rest of the Orks who managed to kill two marines from the other squad who fought alongside him. There were too many of them to simply block all of their attacks and choppas clashed against his plate, pushing him on the defense while adding significant number of wounds on his body. It didn't look good but then roaring of a jump pack was heard and Arnock arrived on the wings of fire and smashed the Orks aside, creating a small crater where he landed. However the Greenskins quickly reestablished their footing and threw themselves against the Marine, cleaving parts of his helmet and arm armor off him, but at least now the two Marines could fight side by side (OOC both of you can kill 3-4 Orks with your next post).

Amid all this melee Theo managed to loose sight of Isaiah as he had trouble of his own. Sergeant was somewhere up there as well but that didn't concern him much as after slaying three Orks with good combination of bolt pistol and chainsword, he was thrown on the back by a powerful shot that rang from somewhere close by. A big Ork carrying some sort of a customized shotgun grinned from the side, until then unseen by other Space Marines. Xenos was painted in some sort of a camouflage paint and its scarred face grinned in mocking. "BOOOO!" it shouted and leveled his shotgun for another blast at Theo.

The sudden arrival of hidden Ork force created most problem for Davian who up until then exchanged fire with the enemy Loota team, killing half of them with the help of another fellow Devastator from the 5th squad. "They die like vermin, brother," the man spoke over the dim of battle, "Let's kill them all and be..." stopped in the middle of the sentence, the Marine fell on the ground as his helmet was pierced from the side with a powerful shot. He toppled behind the barricades allowing Davian to see couple of Greenskins in camo-cloaks advancing from the side in total silence up until now.

They opened fire on him and couple of rounds struck his head as well before he ducked, but to his horror a number of grenades followed him where he dropped. They exploded almost instantly and he was thrown into air falling back somewhere in the middle of Brahga's advance, who alongside his men moved in to support the Emperor's Children. They saw the enemy but were somewhat too late and a number of soldiers fell, dead from various weapons including ballistic and flamer weaponry, even Brahga himself earned a bullet to the side of his armor, making him grunt in pain.

While that transpired, Denatus rose up from his position and once again aimed his missile launcher at the Deff Dread. Once again, his luck was down as he had to duck to evade couple of missiles wooshing above his head as the Ork walker spotted him and opened fire on his own. Thankfully, it missed him but it didn't miss a Rhino stationed behind and the vehicle went up in flames as the Deff Dread blew it apart, showering Denatus with hot shards.

But this was nothing and it would not prevent Denatus from rising up and retaliating - opening fire his missile hit home and hit Deff Dread dead in center, blowing up its arm and the second launcher while also forcing it to a halt. It stood there, unable to move and Elijah, who was close by, seized the opportunity: he slowly rose, aimed and fired from missile launcher of his own. The projectile struck home and Deff Dread was blown apart, the explosion killing a dozen of nearby Orks as well and annihilating that part of the garden completely.

"Sigillite's arse..", the Primus muttered as his bulky gloves patted at his dented and punctured plate, pulling his great coat over the breach as his heavy boots carried him over to where he had seen an Astartes of Sixth Squad get thrown. "If those Orks aren't crisped piles of Volkite kill by the time I've checked on the Astartes, I'm having you lot pose for the Remembrancers! Suppress and come to grips with them, your axes aren't just for show!" Brahga himself looped his Power Axe over his shoulder before bodily throwing himself over the barricade to check on Denatus.

Elated by his own success, the younger Job twin barely noticed the axe crashing into the ground besides him, utterly ravaging the earth with its ravenous metal teeth. But what Isaiah could see, what he was trained to recognise, were foolish mistakes and invitations to death. Upon Thanatos' wings, he leapt the scant distance to this overgrown alien and brought down his blade upon his shoulder, missing the head by less than an inch and enough to sever an ear. The Astartes did not relent by this failure, and pushed his entire weight onto his blade, intent on cleaving it in two as blood and gore rained around him in a cruel imitation of a geysir. Mag-locking his pistol onto his leg, Isaiah used his newly-freed hand to give the blade the last few Newtons of force neccessary to utterly and mercilessly annihilating this creature, biting blade finally passing through its tough, muscled body through its thigh as it collapsed. Not content with this profane action, the Son of Fulgrim finally lift his blade again and brought it down on a lying Ork's head in an executioner's swipe, crushing its skull in one fell blow. The young Marine could not help but laugh at the patheticness of this creature, looking around for a new target and finding one in the lying Hadrian's glyph upon his visor, making his way towards the fallen brother in an effort to aid the man.
