“Lieutenant, we have Red Skull marines active in the combat zone, coming from the north, please advise”. Saint switched his comms back to sending on squad-level. “Aleph team, concentrate fire on the T’au. Sly, Big Boss, sporadic fire on the Red Skulls to slow their advance, but keep it friendly!”
The T’au were dug in, occupying a steel tower that gave them great fire-arcs and ample cover. Team Aleph, coming in from the east, had started blasting the tower with their sniper rifle and heavy bolter, but they couldn’t get close enough to assault the position. Their mission of extracting a number of wounded Militarum command staff wasn’t going anywhere as long as those T’au snipers covered the field. Around the base of the tower they had also spotted a few blurs, indicating the presence of stealth suits guarding the approaches. A great defensive setup, but not great for the Dark Angels.
“Sarge, the Skulls are moving up, massing for an assault”.
Saint cursed. “Dareas, I wish for once that bloody auspex of yours gave us some good news”. Dareas glanced sidelong at his team leader. His expression was lost behind his helmet faceplate, but Saint could well picture the wry smile of the unflappable sergeant. “As you command, sergeant” came the reply. Saint switched vox channels quickly, “BB, Sly, fall back from assault distance, Skulls are coming in”. As he watched the two primaris marines sprint across the open ground away from their forward position, he watched a small explosion rock the distant tower. Hector had finally managed to take out the big drone floating inside it.
“Aleph team leader, mission priority, engage lethal”, came the reply from lieutenant Yrqual. The customary knot of discomfort clenched Saint’s stomach for a moment, as it always did when he was ordered to engage imperial allies with lethal force. “Team Aleph, engage with Red Skulls. No survivors.”

Saint knelt by the imperial officer hiding in the small crater and covered his head with a black bag. Ten meters further Sly put a bolt round through the head of a struggling Red Skulls reiver. Yreneas approached with another captive officer, the uniform bloody and his head covered by a similar black bag. “Take them to the extraction point Click”, said Saint as he stood to survey the area. The T’au were scared off, only their elusive Stealth suits escaping. Hector’s heavy bolter had eventually blasted every last xenos hiding in their tower. He’d run through almost all of his ammo to do so. Hector had spent his last hellfire round to blast a Red Skull heading towards one of the imperial officers.
Saint watched as Dareas walked towards him from behind a nearby building. “Dareas, how about that good news?”
“The Red Skull escaped sarge. Raincheck?”
Toernooi, battle 1: tegen Bobske en Beastherder.
Gewonnen, mede mogelijk gemaakt door het redelijk kapotschieten van mijn tegenstanders. 6 T'au kills en 2 Red Skull kills gaf al 8 victory points, en de battle ging lang genoeg door na beurt 4 om Bob de objectives afhandig te maken waardoor ik ook 2 objectives kon claimen. Weinig slachtoffers aan mijn kant, meer geluk dan wijsheid (veel saves gehaald).
