"They are decimating the Korps." Said Commander Sabius. Commander Karagon didn't answer as he looked over the precipice of a cliff as his battle brothers of the Red Scorpions Space Marine chapter continued to make planet fall. The ground rumbled and shook as a larger than usual payload hit the surface of the planet.

"That'll be Brother Geltus then." Said Sabius to Karagon who was still unflinching in his surveillance of the battle unfolding below.

"I'll go see to him." He said as he set across the landscape of twisted metal, dust and rust.

The doors to the Siege Dreadnoughts drop pod blew off as the heavy set machine inturned man took a crunching step onto the scrap metal heap that was the Ryboth terrain.

"Brother Geltus" called out Commander Sabius.

"Sabius." Replied the dreadnought as he tested his inferno cannon in a small, controlled micro burst and gunned his assault drill.

"What needs has the Emperor awaken me for this day?"

"Nothing less than the salvation of Ryboth brother." Said Commander Sabius.

"Salvation?" Asked the siege dreadnought. "It already looks lost to me."

The two stood and observed the decimation of the Death Korps as Karagon had been whilst the remainder of the heavy forces landed upon Ryboth.

"Move out." Came a call across the wider band of the vox and the tanks and heavy units fired up their engines and began to cross the expanse below the twisted metal mountain.

"That's us then." Said Sabius as he and Geltus descended into the madness of the war.
