Once the prisoners were clad in their armors and weapons which were surprisingly in full working state, they were let out into an arena. There were cheering groups, however a void shield was projected over it, so they would not go ahead and kill the viewers. An arena of Comorragh. There were thousands of guests cheering and getting charged with excitement as the soldiers made their way into the arena. It was a simple circle with rocks in the center to offer cover, they were basically everywhere, the arena however was too small to fit in a vehicle. But who knew if this was the only arena the Comorrites had prepared for them. "The mighty Astartes of various chapters gathered here together to represent the Imperium of Mankind, against all sort of creatures that they deem 'Xenos'!" The crowd boo-ed the Astartes and gave them their thumbs down. "YOU ARE THE XENOS HERE!" A closeby visitor yelled at them. "Their first maaaaatch.... AGENTS OF THE HIVE MIND!" The opposite gate opened... And Fifty (50!) Hormagaunts swarmed out, running straight for the group. Judging by speed and distance, they would need not too long to reach them, but enough to at least shoot them once before they get into melee range. However, the Astartes may want to build up a two or even three line defense for most efficiency that not everyone is engaged in melee.

After sealing the environment of his suit,which he found to be incredibly hard to put on without an aide or a serf,he drew his cowl on,reflecting humbleness and knighthood of his Legion.The arena opened and he was greeted by a crescendo of voices that one can find an arena.Hefting his Assault Cannon,aided by the Servo-arm,Zuriel of the God-Emperor`s Dark Angels turned around to find himself not standing alone in this Emperor`s forgotten place. Astartes,all of them.Five. Without further ado,the crowd was cheered,and there was blood to be shed as the announcer screamed.Invoking the blessing of the Machine God,Zuriel turned toward the gates that unleashed the meager swarm of the Great Devourer.Nodding with his brothers,he grabbed the Assault Cannon with both of his arms,and with advanced targeting algorithms being cogitated in his helmet,he opened fire,thudding at the swarm. OOC: Opening fire with Assault Cannon (12) (6). Spreading fire on six targets with two hit possibilities on each.
In classic fashion of his own chapter Germaius threw himself forward with a mighty cry, axe raised over head and hand flamer proceeding his charge with a wash of flame to clean out these filthy Tyranids. "Slay them brothers! Slay everything they throw at us, soon enough their own ilk will show themselves looking for a fight, then we might have our righteous vengeance! "
De'Vaunne drew his infernus pistol and force sword and stayed put, drawing into the warp as he began to chant, letting the flow of the Empyrean guide his tongue. As his voice spilled into the arena, he began to glow with a golden aura, which grew the more he chanted. Eventually, as his tongue moved so fast the words spilled into one another, and the aura was so bright the crowd could barely stand to look, the Codicer's chant stopped with a loud burst of light, radiating out around him and filling the arena with brilliant golden light. [Sunburst!]
Titus followed Germaius' lead and charge forward with his rhunderhammer cocked back. "Come to me xenos! I am the reaper and I have come for my toll!" He jumped up and slammed down his hammer to try and smash a few little runts.
Invictus braced himself and opend fire with his heavy bolter aiming for the first 4 when they enterd range and hoping to kill some "well lets get this done" (Ooc spliting 8 shots on 4 targets so 2 each)
Preparing his storm bolter Viserys glanced over the arena before he aimed at 3 of the nearest tyranids, opening fire at the same time that he roared out a warcry millenia old. "For the Emperor!" [OOC: 6 shots on 3 targets means 2 potential hits each]
Five Hormagaunts fell, one of them having detonated violently as a single bullet managed to rip through the skull and into the brain, somehow going further, right into the center and simply spreading it's body all over the place. OOC: 5 Hormies down. With overwhelming force and vigor, the Black Templar managed to strike TWO foes with one swing as he met the Hormagaunt horde half-way. OOC: Exception because 2 crit hits that a weapon could hit more than it's actual max. targets w/o AoE boon. 2 (7) Hormies down. With a wide arc swing, the angry marine attempted to bring vengeance for being taken prisoner upon these aliens, but the hammer appeared slow and the Tyranids managed to either duck beneath or jump above the wide arc. Only two were too slow and crushed into bits from the strong power field. OOC: 2 (9) Hormies down. One Tyranid got a massive shell to the chest as it leaped, detonating and letting it's claws fly around. Another got half it's body blown off, dying a pathetic and slow death as it was trampled by the rest of the horde. And then an apparent super-precision shot managed to carve and get stuck in the head of a Hormagaunt, detonating somewhere in the neck area and causing the body to drop lifeless to the ground. OOC: 3 (12) Hormies down. First shot. Hormagaunt into the hind-leg, dropping it to the floor. Second Shot. Right through the eye ball, dropping it to the ground, dead for god. Third shot, the first Hormagaunt that wanted to stand up again was finished off. Fourth Shot. A leaping Hormagaunt was shot right into it's exposed chest, managing to penetrate the strong exoskeleton and blow it's heart and other organs up. OOC: 3 (15) Hormies down. The blinding blast did nothing to his Astartes-brethren, as their superior visors were immune to mere flashes! However, the Hormagaunts were mixed breeds. Slightly less than half (12) seemed to be more used to the dark and only saw a bright white light, before squirming in pain and rolling on the floor in agony. However. Four were so extremely affected by the sudden light that their eyeballs exploded from the sensory overload and they died. The rest were adapted to bright lights and walked on as if nothing happened. In fact, it seemed six of them were actually solar-powered as they grew roughly half a foot each of them. (+1WL). OOC: 4 (19) Hormies down. Leaves 31. (25 with 1WL. 6 with 2WL.) Germaius (@DeranVendar ) and Titus (@matt23 ) who already were in melee, got attacked by the unstunned horde. The attackers split equally among the two of them, or as well as they could. (16 attacking Germaius. 15 attacking Titus). Germaius could avoid most of the foes, being fast on his toes. The hits he suffered were so weak, they only scratched his armor or so he thought before a claw pierced into the back of his leg and harmed him slightly. (-1 WL). However, the amount of foes allowed him not to retaliate just yet. Titus was not as lucky, or perhaps skilled as his Black Templar brother. While trying to fend off most of the gaunts, two of the larger ones managed to bring their claws into his shoulders, between the shoulder plate. (-2 WL) Fueled with rage the Blood Drinker swung his hammer in a wide arc and three of the foolish Hormagaunts were smashed. OOC: 3 (22) Hormies down. Leaves 28. (22 with 1WL, 6 with 2WL) OOC: Player, Wounds and Weapon List: Invictus Luna @lord-watchman Full Health (1) Power Fist (7) [1] Plasma Pistol (2) [2] Heavy Bolter (8) [4] Crimson Fist Combatant (Devastator) Germaius @DeranVendar Very Light Wound (2) 1H Power Axe (4) [1] Hand Flamer (1) [1 (AoE)] Storm Bolter (6) [3] Black Templar Combatant (Assault) Zuriel @High_Adept_Zeth Full Health (1) Chain Fist (9) [1] Plasma Pistol (2) [2] Assault Cannon (12) [6] Chapter: Dark Angels Techmarine Titus @matt23 Light Wound (3) 2H Thunderhammer (7) [1 (AoE)] Bolt Pistol (2) [2] Heavy Bolter (8) [4] Blood Drinkers Combatant (Assault) Viserys @Avenging-Angel Full Health (1) 1H Power Axe (4) [1] Plasma Pistol (2) [2] Storm Bolter (6) [3] Blood Angels Combatant (Assault) De'vaune @BadDo9 Full Health (1) 1H Force Sword (6) [1] Infernus Pistol (3) [1] Flamer (2) [1 (AoE)] Salamanders Librarian (Codicer)
One of his brothers seemed to be bogged down,Blood Drinkers by the looks of it,but Zuriel couldn't risk it bearing his Assault Cannon to aid him,lest he risks friendly fire.And that he wouldn't let happen,especially not for the amusments of these filthy xenos that cheered their demise.Coordination on the battlefield was the key to success!And this arena was a battlefield like every other.Having that in mind,Dark Angel Techmarine,quickly skimmed thought the binary,trying to find vox signals of his brother`s power armors,in an effort to open a vox channel. "Brothers!By Lion do you hear me?" Rather focusing on the blinded foes that got struck down,blinded or stunned by the power of a Salamander. The target being rather stationary,they were easy pray for his wrath and the stunning rapid fire of his Assault Cannon.Putting the cannon on his right,bended knee he opened fire. OOC:Assault Cannon (12) (6) opening fire on all six targets.
OOC: Just for the record. For sake of player-friendliness. The only thing that can cause friendly fire are RANGED AoE weapons. I haven't thought of it until Zeth just brought it up. #YayTestRun
