Turn 1: Bellum Incentor Argo ...
It takes a bit, but it all comes back to you, your name, age, and skills pop right back in there, but now is not the time to be pondering how that happened. As you snap out of whatever amnesia took you over the vox crackles to life, and you hear someones voice coming through it, "This is the remains of the Hell Riders! Our position has been over-run, and we are pulling back. The Tyranids were to many, and we took to many casualties, and have numerous wounded. We will be going through the remains of Vulchers Pass in two hours. Be ready for incoming hostiles." With that the vox dies, and the area around you become eerily quiet to your ears.
You walk over to the remains of a window, and look out to find your men scurrying about down below as they push Aegis Defence Lines into position, and secure Heavy Bolter Emplacements in the more able of the structures. You shake your head in doubt about the coming days, and know that many of these men will never see their families again, for you face the Tyranid horde who number, so great that the very land can become nothing more then a writhing mass of flesh when they come in full force. The sound of clanking fills your ears as your tank, the
Imperial Grace, pulls into place between two buildings.
You open the small file that was sent to you by the higher ups, and re-read it one more time (Two Missions Gained). The first missioe is of little interest as it tells you what you already know, you are to hold your position to the last man, and fight for every blade of grass they try to take from you. The second mission however is a lot more interesting, it seems that the village your men are holding contains a research lab with several flesh samples from a Norn Queen, and that a squad of Space Marines would be arriving the next day to hold the position, and prep for extraction of the samples. Apparently this takes higher importance than town.
When you finish one of the guardsmen comes running up to you, throws a hasty salute, and says 'Sir! Your orders sir!?"
