150 Terminators/Champions of Hatred

400 Bikers/ no current name

100 Predators

50 Land Raiders

2 Warhounds

2 Chaos Lords, Rarakh and Irae.

Rarakh carries a two handed hammer and has a storm bolter strapped to his left wrist and a plasma gun on his right. He wears warded power armour and his face underneath his helm is quartered black and white. Irae carries a power sword and a one-handed flamer which pours forth warp fire. His power armour is built up around the shoulders and he has a skull set into his chest.

1 Chaos Sorcerer, Salvavus.

He carries a staff and wears power armour. There is nothing very special about him on the exterior, it is his mind that is dangerous.

The attack begins rapidly, Tyranus VI is hit first and then Tyranus II, and finally Tyranus V. Warriors swarm over the outer defences of the Imperial fortress, but at first don't get any further. However, this is just the advanced party, far behind the lines of battle reinforcements are being deployed. In orbit the Children's ships attack with unparalleled speed, hitting the Sayians hard, most weapons of the ships near to the Sayian Star targeting the Nova Cannon and soon damage to the weapon is critical. The interplanetary cannons are attacked very quickly as well, one of the Warhound titans along with 300 Fire Serpents and 500 Iron Hammers making up the assault force tasked with their destruction. The Sayians are outnumbered 3 to 1, and when ever the Children get within axe length, the Sayians find that they are unable to easily stand against the terrible anger facing them.

On Tyranus VI, a great mass of marines are deployed, 750 Iron Hammers, 500 Fire Serpents and the second Warhound. The necrons far more meagre forces are quickly pushed back by the onslaught, retreating to the walls of the Tomb Complex and the Monolith supporting fire. Sarumanekh is struggling to form a consecutive defence, but eventually manages to set up a fairly effective defence line, using solar flash grenades to force the enemy through gaps and into killing zones.

The remaining forces are committed to taking over Tyranus V, pressing Forenekh hard, but not nearly as hard as the other commanders. He manages to put the mountain ranges to good use, making hit and run attacks where possible, and entrenching in canyons and other narrow ways where it isn't. The space battle begins with a fury, the Malice's Talon cutting through the necrons with shocking ease, until it reaches the cruisers and the Souless Doom, where a terrible battle between the necron ships and the three Chaos battleships is waged. "Talik, do you read me?! Now would be a good time, no, now would be an excellent time for that attack to the rear!"

OOC: That wa long, and that was vauge, I hope I can do some shorter ones that are more detailed once the battle starts properly.
