This is my first story I've written so I'd like lots of feedback. This story is based on my first ever 40K battle with my Tau army against my mate's 'bloody' space marine chapter 'chrome Falcons'.
Anyway I'll stop talking and get on with the story, oh and thanks to my beta reader Hestonia (she would kill me otherwise, no joke!)
Enjoy!

'Finally, they have dropped us' breathing a sigh of relief, Ui'myart looked around, 'on this desolate plane! Why on Tau do they want this planet? By the looks of it the Guel'a have sucked it dry and abandoned it. All there is left are ruins'
Suddenly Ui'myart felt something hit him. He looked down on the floor and noticed the arm on his crisis battle suit had been blown off.
'Get in cover' He shouted 'its an ambush'
Instantly everyone got under cover, taking only a few casualties. Unfortunately they were spread out quite thin. His two depleted fire warrior squadrons were on the flanks, the Kroot were in the centre right next to him, along with his bodyguard.
Ui'myart suddenly felt a pang of worry, where was his cousin Ky'mrt in his Broadside. But, ah, yes, there he was situated in an old building in cover able to see the whole battlefield.
'What do you see Ky'mrt?'
'It seems to be three squadrons of Space marines; A devastator squad, a squadron of assault marines with their leader, a chaplain I think. Also a tactical squad.'
'Ok, try and give us some support from that heavy squadron' this should be fine, we'll just clean up this little skirmish and get back to the mission.
'Sure Thi….'
A flash of light and as a heavy bolter and plasma gun hit Ky'mrt face on and sent melted metal flying trough the air.
'Crap' Ui'myart said as he saw this. 'Everyone, here comes the assault marines, concentrate all fire on them'
'That's the end of them' thought Ui'myart 'nothing will be able to survive that'' whilst unleashing his missile pod into the fray.
He now turned his attention onto the heavy squad, when he heard down the intercom 'Shas'el we need hel…'
He turned his head to his left and saw the assault marines had survived, all except one! 'SHIT!', and were now systematically slaughtering the fire warriors and Kroot.
'Shas'el, I'm now calling for backup' called his bodyguard.
'No need, just tell them to avenge our deaths'
'Here they come'
The space marines had finished with the flank and were now heading for them. The fire warriors from the right came to join Ui'myart.
'Make sure they remember us' Ui'myart cried and charged forward.
He never even made it that far, he collapsed to the floor from a well aimed bolt pistol and the last thing he saw was a giant mace coming hurtling down toward him.

Well that's it, as you can tell I lost my first battle, well not lost more sort of massacred. I only managed to kill one of his men.
Anyway I hope you like. Remember I would like lots of feedback seeing as it's my first (short) story.
