This is but a taste f my story, which has yet to begin
Prologue
Sagnius IV, a planet of bitter cold, forever winter, and a sheet of permafrost which had not been melted for over one hundred millenniums, stood on the outer edge of the Eye of Terror. There had been an eight year struggle to control a city of the utmost importance on the planet's desolate and dreary landscape. Within the Astorina mountains stood the large city of Constantinople II. What had been known as the War of Astorina had been won by the 78th Valhallan, but their victory would be short lived. Soon they received information from their scouts that legions of Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines were gathering two hundred kilometers from the mountainous border. They quickly sent a request for reinforcements to Terra.
Senior Force Commander of the 28th Cadian, Alexie Stukov, gazed through a pair of binoculars at an Iron Warriors convoy of about twenty thousand strong heading towards an evergreen forest, the suspected area of an Iron Warriors base. "Should we mobilize our forces?" asked Commissar Vladimir Varov, commander of the 45th Raven Legion. "Be patient, Vladimir, the Iron Warriors are not notified of our presence, and we will keep it that way. Until we are ready." Alexie responded with a smirk. A jeep pulled up, a young female lieutenant at the wheel. The two hopped in and they zoomed off onto a partly seen road, continuing until they stopped at an awaiting train. The train was loading up with the 28th Cadian, 608th Veddolan, 45th Raven Legion, and the 66th Typhus. They got out and met up with Anatoly Karkarroff and Qin Si Wang, the commanders of the 66th and 608th. "We're late. And we still have four hundred men to load." Anatoly said with his hand tapping his watch. Qin Si Wang was talking to his heavy weapons officer, Andrew Malic. He turned to the lieutenant, a well trained sniper named Halle Heredovich. He asked her a few questions and she acknowledged. The two officers boarded the train as the four commanders herded everyone else in. The locomotive let out a blare from its horn as the train began to slowly chug along.
There was an officers' meeting along the way. "The 78th are in need of our assistance soon, all they have at the garrison are ten thousand strong. Our photos of the surrounding are area show that the Iron Warriors have more than two hundred thousand." Vladimir said pointing at the evergreen forest on the holo-map. "We are thirty-two kilometers from Constantinople. Hopefully by then they will still be alive." Qin Si Wang said with seriousness. The officers began to murmur quietly. A distant explosion was heard. "What the hell!" Anatoly exclaimed running to the locomotive to find out. Another explosion was heard, but this time it rocked the whole train, threatening to derail. "Shit!" Andrew exclaimed grabbing his rocket launcher and positioning himself in front of a firing slit. "Damn, Iron Warriors." A siren went off, and a servitor's voice was heard over the Intercom. "General quarters, general quarters, man your battle stations." The steely metallic voice said. "Eat rocket, bastards!" a heavy weapons gunner yelled as a rocket zoomed off. "Dammit, you, shut up! And don't fire that weapon again, we're rigged for red!" Halle yelled at the soldier, who put the rocket down. The bright white lights, turned into a dim red, a signal for silence. The train's wheel mufflers were activated making the train a part of the shadows. They moved as quietly as possible through the mountains. The silence, though, did not fool the Iron Warriors who were masters of chaotic technology.
