"FIRE!" Commisar Sloan yells frantically to the Brutean Iron Guard manning the walls. The response is volley after lasfire raining down from the walls down at the Invaders below. The Guardsmen on the walls let loose a storm of las-fire, firing at whatever they can. Most of their shots hit their mark, the Iron Guard have always done their hardest to maintain their marksman status, but the foe that they face is not easily deterred. The Auto-Cannon emplacements have a much easier time taking down any significant enemy, their massive shells, their massive shells tearing through the foes armor with ease.
In response, their foe let's loose with las-cannons, Plasma Cannons, and Missile Launchers. A series of explosions spread across the wall, flocks of Guardsmen blasted off the wall by the missiles, several guardsmen simply vanish from burst of plasma cannons, the auto-cannon teams blasted apart by precision las-cannon fire, large beams of red energy cutting through the turret and their operators with ease. The Walls are in disarray. The Commisar orders his men to pull back to the gate. Their foe prefers a frontal assault.
Atop his Baneblade, the Commisar raises his sword towards the Gate." Imperial Guard! Remember your duty and who you serve! The Emperor smiles upon those who fight valiantly! Remember those who you fight for! And what will happen to them should you fail!" He has to yell louder then before. From the other side of the gate, the sounds of chain weapons revving, beast growling and roaring, and most distinguished of the noises is the chanting. That incessant chanting demanding blood for a brutal god, and skulls for a throne. It chilled the men to their bones, but none of them dared to run. Not out of a fear off being executed, but because there was to much to lose: Their lands, their loved ones, their home.
What was left of the Auto-Cannons and Las-Cannon teams rushed to redeploy their heavy weapons, mounting them so that they faced the gate directly. Ranks of Guardsmen formed into lines of two, the first line kneeling to obtain better grip and aim, the second still standing. The sound of ordinance began as their foe pounded at the gate with their heavy armor. Predators and Vindicaters, deformed and distorted by the ruinous powers, let loose with all of their power.
It was another ten minutes before the gate blew inwards, the giant doors falling to the floor. Hundreds of cultist, mutants, and beastmen poured through first, holding spears, blades,axes, knives, autoguns, and whatever other weapons they could scavenge. These foes were slaughtered as soon as they entered. They fell in droves, but seeing their comrades die did not deter them, but only spurred them on to charge even faster. The true threat came when the World Eaters burst through the gate accompanied by the Blood Letters of Khorne.
"FIRE AT WILL!" Commisar Sloan yelled one last time, before a bolt pistol round slammed into his skull, completely blasting it off his shoulders. His body crumpled to the side of the tank hatch, just as the Khornate Berserkers and Daemons crashed into the lines of guardsmen.

(Had a game with a former D.A. Played Guardsmen and he played World Eaters. Infantry only, it was a masscre once he brought in the Daemons and Khorne Berserkers.)

My Lord, The presence of the Ruinous Powers has reached Trandasin I. Chaos Forces made landfall on the planet three days ago with more forces arriving every day. The Imperial Blockade lasted for several hours before collapsing under the increasing Chaos Fleet. Since then, there have been a number of skirmishes between both fleets with no clear winner in sight. Our first engagement with the Arch-Enemy occurred on Thanatos Bridge, sightings have confirmed that the Black Legion are the first to arrive in the system. The Thanatos conflict lasted for over thirty-one hours, due to the deployment of heavy armor and infantry. Possible elites amongst the Warband, due to the presence of Terminators amongst the heretics. Victory was eventually achieved but not without heavy causalities amongst the Storm Troopers. Now in Pursuits of the Black legion. The Heretics will be purged.

(Played a game with Kite Arca, where we went up against the forces of Chaos as the Inquisition. 31 minutes of pure mayhem on both sides. Lots of Lasfire, Raiders, and Mines.)
“A king must live a life more vivid than any other and be a figure for all to admire! The king is the one who collects the envy of all his heroes and stands as their guide! Therefore, the king is not alone. For his will equals that of all his followers combined!”
