'emperial guard', lol! Things like that should anger me, but i'm too awestruck with the new miniatures forge world have on their website. i've been gone too long.
And that kid going on about vampires, are you sure you didn't just see some long fang space wolves. The oldies got big teeth, but i can't think of any guardsmen that do. i could be wrong, but i doubt it.
I like 'nids. They're all pretty badass looking, plus they're fun to kill, especially genestealers. Here's a little report from the game i played a couple of nights back.
[ 'Captain Catu saw the structure up ahead as he and his bodyguards reached the top of the hill. The Mining camp below was thick with smoke from small arms fire. He could just make out the unmanned defence cannon silhouetted against the camps floodlights. There was a desperate flurry of shots, though the sound was weak. “Small arms, Black Powder” he said to his Vox operator. As he did, the gunfire stopped abruptly, and screams filled the morning air. The screams changed from that of a man, to a chorus of hideous shrieks, a victory scream. Catu was experienced enough to know what was waiting down below, and that the colonists would have had no chance. It surprised him that they survived as long as they did. Lucky, he thought, as such a heroic death does not bless civilians often.
“Prepare to receive a charge” He called out to his platoon. The men immediately responded, two squads lined up in two rows, the tip of each lasgun stretched out, bayonets glinting in the morning sun. The last two squads moved into formation ahead of Catu, rifles aimed down into the valley, over the heads of the CQB squads. There was a tense silence, as the first of the Genestealers hurtled out from the buildings, jaws slathering with fury. Their screams filled the air, grating the spirits of the guardsmen stood waiting for them. The first row opened fire, dropping Genestealers in mid sprint, their dark corpses writhing on the ground as the burning las rounds cooked their entrails. Some of the creatures attempted to flee, only to be cut down in a withering hail of fire. Beast after Beast fell, until three got within striking distance. They leaped, hurtling across the field into the ranks of guardsmen. Two men were cut down as the aliens smashed into the forward squads, in response, the troops fought back, thrusting their rifles forward. The First stealer had been impaled on four raised rifles during its lunge, but the two remaining monstrosities fought back ferociously, razor claws sweeping through the air, cutting men down. Sergeant Ream managed to blindside one stealer, cutting it down with his chainsword, it’s dark blood spraying into the air as it’s writhing head was severed. The last creature fought on, bringing down two more men, until it dropped, a dozen bayonet gashes sapping it’s energy. The nearest men gathered round, ramming their blades into the ‘stealer’s face. Catu noted the look of righteous joy on their faces at extinguishing this abomination from the Emperors’ galaxy. The rest of the troops orderly moved bank into formation, ready for any other encounter. “Good work” shouted Catu. “Prepare to advance.” ] - Official report issued to Seigg civilian populace following engagement on 55637485.
