The purpose of large and tough units is an argued one. Many would say that the purpose of such large ordnance is to keep an objective from falling into enemy hands. To be a fortress that none could get around.
Others would argue that armor’s purpose is to support from afar. To keep laying into the enemy with its artillery shells with a blind bombardment in specific areas.
However the Gargantuan Squigizaur’s purpose was the third train of thought. To run through the enemy’s defenses and make as big of a hole within them as they possibly could.
Thus was the situation as the Squigs quickly broke rank and began their charge towards the wall that the Knights were making. There must have been at least a dozen of these mighty creatures and only the remaining 19 knights that were partially injured from the punishment they experienced.
Upon a shot from the massive idol of their god the squigs began their charge. The Knights of Dutonis took the chance to charge as well, knowing that they could not allow such a battle to reach the lines of the Skitarii. The only saving grace they granted themselves was making sure they stayed with the fire support range of the Vanguard so that the Radium rounds could dig deeply into the fleshy skin of the giant beasts.
In no man’s land they made contact with one another. The screaming of hydraulics fused with the roaring of giant beasts. The Orks that were upon the beast began to poke out from their hiding places on the beast’s back and began to fire shot after shot into the tops of the Knights. For the Knights, their Chain Swords began to rev and Siege Claws crackled as they began to dig deep into the flesh of the great monsters.
Fredrics was by far a feisty creature as the maw of the great beast came over and ripped a piece of his shoulder plate off. For that he released a dozen rounds from his Avenger Gatling Cannon into the chest of the creature and was able to get a moment’s distance between him and the thing.
Quickly he charged forward and made a massive strike against the creature’s skull, diggin about halfway when the creature reached over and clawed off one of his leg plates. Such a tough beast that could still fight with half a brain. The Prince gave a curse towards the beast before two other Knights jumped in and began digging their own chainswords into the flesh.
That was enough to kill it, which only proved how powerful the creatures were. He could feel pain that Dominus Navaros experienced but did not back down as he began his charge against the others.
