They were holding perimiter around the building but the moment anyone move forward to assault the corrupted marines they were cut down by bolter fire. Missiles shot from the upper floors and Sigue Volta decided it was time for decisive action.
He called up the Colour Squad and Entz shot him a questioning glance. Sigue shook his head- No, I don't want you to die today!
A barricade to Sigue's right exploded and debris landed all over the junction.
"Supporting Fire" He yelled and the enemy position started to be hidden in clouds of dust and smoke and the rumble of tracks came from behind the defenders line.
"grease the Bastards!" came the cries from the dug in troops as the Banewolf careened in to the street before the enemy. missiles and las fire arced from the windows but their aim was ruined by the small arms fire ricocheting from the masonry...
"Down" came the call over the vox net and a cloud of noxious corrosive gas shot from the muzzle of the turret in to the windows and doors. left and right it played and the fire from it dwindled and stopped. Volta nodded and the Colour Squad moved up to the road as the chem cannon ceased fire. as the tank retreated Entz led his troops up to the ruins and his flamers speaded their load into the ground floor, the fixtures catching alight and buring hot and white. once the promethian bottles were empty they pulled back and watched the building burn slowly to the ground.
next day it was full of blackend and charred corpses, all twisted and miss-shapen.
the chem-cannon had done its work...i saw a hellhound for 10 quid off so i bought it... i often proxy my hellhound as a Banewolf, so i made it so now i have the choice.
