At the end of the Necron’s speech the entire hall that they were within came to life as sudden discharges of green light rocketed around them. TalOS had felt them attempting to appear within the range of himself, but the Primarch had unraveled whatever attempts they had in spawning among their armed forces for an alpha strike.
+Dead Gods, there are no Gods.+ Perturabo laughed as he allowed his connection to filter into a purely audio format for his Astartes, +Take positions and mow them down.+
Constantly they were attempting to strike at the heart of their formation through this teleportation. Every time they did TalOS focused to disrevel the temporal extension they were having to attack from. It was annoying and time consuming, which gave TalOS only a moment to speak, +Form Defenses 976, notation to double tap when able.+
Said command rocketed through the Skitarii and Proelitor, the Centurii taking it upon themselves to interpret the commands of their sovereign. In an orderly method the Skitarii took up firing lines and began firing rounds of galvanic ammunition into the now visible enemy. The Astartes of the Proelitor posed with bladed weapons ready to receive the attack just as the Acillians began releasing their energy weapons. Said gunnery fire was supported by the tanks among the forces in addition to the Iron Warriors who had joined them.
Everyone had started firing into the darkness before the enemy was really visible. Their guns highlighting the encroaching tide of gray metal that was coming at them from either side of the hallway. Said forms were heavily augmented with what TalOS identified as the Scarabs that Orikan had used when he first met the Chronomancer, but their number was several times that of before.
The firing first destroyed the scarabs that were clearly being used as cannon faulter for the metal warriors that were marching behind them. However with the sheer volume of fire power now being delivered into the horde this bulwark did not last long.
This did not mean the marching mass of gray were powerless. When each of them closed, the ones in the back raised their guns and released a burst of green beam. These attacks would slam into the armor of the Astartes and Acillians, a few of them falling from the simple application of fire power.
The Warriors did not stop moving as they were gunned down. Being commanded by a higher power they advanced towards the line of transhumans. It was when the Necrons finally reached the range they wanted, their weapons snapped into position and released several torrents of green balefire into the lines of transhumans.
In an instant a fifth of the Astartes were cut down.
