OOC: sorry I couldn't reply earlier, I had a friend over. I won't be able to comment to frequently for a while since school resumes for me tomorrow.

IC: on board the daemon ship the the chaos marines wade into the Eldar and a champion charges at Talik. The silence of the enemy is slightly unnerving, but not enough to effect the Eldar at the moment. The Champion locks weapons with Talik and the Eldar is shocked by the humans enormous strength. He is thrown back onto the floor narrowly missing the burning white goop. The group is being driven back very slowly and now there is no where to go. The Eldar however vanish away to another part if the ship (you pick where) and the chaos champion gazes at the empty space his axe is stuck in with silent wrath.

With the Warhound destroyed, the Children consider a tactical withdrawal, but the thought is soon overwhelmed and buried with arrival of the support vehicles. Land raiders and predators reinforce the front along with additional Fire Serpents and Iron Hammers. The advantage briefly gained by the Sayians vanishes as the sorcerer Salvavus enters the fray, taking Raiton head on.

No one really saw what happened next, everything was a blur of fire, electricity and shrapnel. But what the nearby troops did see was that Raiton was wounded, not mortally, but brutally so that he was forced to flee from the battle clutching his stomach, which was in danger of falling apart. An Apothacary managed to get him and he was withdrawn from the fighting. The second wall of the fortress is thrown down in a third massive assault and the inner citadel is assailed.

The warband charged with the destruction of the cannons is now greatly reduced after the destruction of the Warhound, but they press on, joined by two land raiders. When the warband arrives at the second installation it is joined by three huge black white serpent like creatures, as half as tall as a Warhound with long fangs dripping with red venom. The breath warp fire and have great strength, and after a few minutes of battle the gate is down and captured.

In orbit, the Children manage to recover form the shell and several other ships regroup and surround the Sayian's ships. The handful of Chaos ships in reserve enter the fray, and slowly the ships are surrounded and crushed one by one. However the Space Marines resist and hold at a standstill.

The major space battle still continues, the Children's numbers making up for the multiple fronts. Warp fire shoots out from the daemon ship and engulfed a nearby pair of curisers, one Necron, one Eldar. They suffer damage but survive. The Children however, are not totally surrounded and ships flow around the edges and attack the enemy from the flanks. Even though boarding parties frequently defeat or destroy ships, chaos troops attempt the same stratergies leading to fierce fighting in corridors and halls.

The necrons on Tyranus IV have now gathered onto transports and are moving towards Tyranus II. However, they can't get past the blockade unit the Sayians counter attack.
