It is best to send me orders in a private message, that way other people can't know what you are going to do.

First things first, sorry for the long wait, I've been spending the last 2 weeks in an office doing officy things, it was pretty fun, but here's
turn 1
In case you forgot, please only open the spoiler with your name above it.
(I'm combining the spoilers of the 3 Phalek empire teams because they are all in eachothers sight for the entirety of the turn.)
A team, B team, Phalek and Security Officer
B team advances towards the machine gun.
A team prepares to unleash hell on an inanimate object.
The grenade launcher wielding trooper launches a grenade from his grenade launcher.
It misses slightly, but still damages the building, just the wrong wall.
The hail of bullets destroys the original target.
A worried looking figure appears.
(2 troopers need to reload their autoguns, as does the grenade launcher)
These 2 also advance.
The Atomikpunk
The predator jumps down and sees a Metaform, he shoots it but fails to beat the armor. The Metaform then runs away behind the building behind it.
Dj Squidley
The fly runs and jumps and flies off.
He lands perfectly where he wanted, there is a Metaform.
During the Metaform turn, it turns around to wait in ambush and sees the fly.
After a bit of a fight, it rips his head clean off.
You have died, Would you like to
play again?
Sahasrahla
A Metaform turns around and sees a fly person, weird or what?
It then kills the fly person.
All the Metaforms take up positions, but none can yet see anything.
This one waits here.
After getting shot by a mysterious figure...
This one goes here.
(As you are Metaforms, your guys can climb the walls and stuff to get on top)
Tastyskippy123
Warhead shard runs across the plank to his left and jumps down into the bizarrely damaged building.
and it was at this point that Warhead realised that he had probably made a mistake.
Send your orders for turn 2!

At last, we are back.
I'm sorry for the long wait, we had a few "technical diffuclties"
I'd just like to remind you all:
Only open the spoiler that has your username above it.
Turn 2 (The ownage begins)
Sahasrahla
These Metaforms advance.
As do these.
This one enters melee with the predator.
The predator fires its gun, chopping the metaform head clean off!
It then critfails its armor and the acid melts its head off too.
It respawns here.
This Metaform spots some Phalek empire troops moving through the Streets.
Tastyskippy123
Warhead walks calmly forwards like some kind of badass and swings his OTStaff, killing 3.
He is sadly gunned down by a hail of bullets
You appear to have died!
Would you like to respawn?
TheAtomikPunk
the predator catches the Metaform and after a brief melee, resorts to blasting its head off.
He critfails his armor, and the acid does the same to him.
You passed away,
Would you like to respawn?
Brikguy0410
B team advances through the Streets towards the machine gun.
The leader spots a bizarre looking corpse.
Quantumsurfer
The Phalek and the security officer advance, as they can't see anything, they set up response fire.
A skeleton rises!
And is immediately blasted down again.
Dj Squidley
The strecher team run over to that Metaform, but don't get far enough.
This skeleton rises.
straight into a laser blast!
Don't forget about this one.
and this one (The white thing is just a tape measure, feel free to ignore that.)
mgb519
Warhead attacks with his OTStaff, killing 3.
He is then annihilated by the combined fire of the others.
They all emptyed their guns and have to reload, 3 autogunners and the grenadier are ready to shoot again.
Please send your orders for turn 3!

i really can't decide if i'm enjoying not knowing what anyone else is doing, or if it's taking away from the fun
cool experiment either way

Well, I hope this turn helps you decide.
Turn 3
first things first, I'm sorry about how dark these pics are, I changed the brightness, saved them, but my computer didn't show any difference, so I changed them again, then it showed me the difference, so there are 50% darker instead of 25%, so I'm sorry.
DJ Squidley
The 3 skellingtons go towards the lorry and find the Metaform still there.
You can't tell, but the first one kills it with his bare hands.(+1 soul)
But is then melted by the acid
A warhead shard appears!
It annihilâtes the headless one and the limp armed one shrieks with surprise.
The other headless one jumps into this empty building.
And the last one ventures out into the Streets and stares unhappily at the massive fight going on right outside.(He can almost see through the darkness)
Quantumsurfer
They both advance and spot a Metaform(You can't see it, but it is there)
the Phalek blasts it into oblivion, claiming his 2nd kill.
Tastyskippy123
One of the greatest assassins in the Brikverse moves into town, spotting 2 Metaforms.
BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM... He is too far away for their acid blood to hurt him.(They are both dead)
mgb519
(One of the worst photos of this turn, yet again, I am so sorry about this)
One trooper goes into the building and sees that it is empty.
The rest set up response fire and reload.
Brikguy0410
After a load of bullets are sent into that odd looking corpse, some troopers go up to the gun.
The gunner can just about make out what may be one of the greatest assassins in the brikverse making short work of some Metaforms.
The other one stands up and stares through the gloom(I rolled a scatter dice to decide where he woud look and this is what happened)
A bunch of Metaforms rushed past him and launched themselves into the Streets below, killing 3 of the troopers.
1 attacked the lookout but missed(I forgot to take the photo, sorry)
TheAtomikPunk
Warhead decides that the best thing to do would be to pick on an old blind man on his way to the lorry
After brutally murdering it, he looks at the other one, if it had a butt, shit would be coming out about now.
Sahasrahla
A bunch of skeletons come and kill the Metaform over here. The acid blood kills one in return.
The ones to the north get caught in overlapping fields of fire, killing them all.
The other ones run across the rooftops and jump down into the space troopers, killing 3, one attacks a guy on the roof but misses.
The north ones respawn here(At the opposite from where they were before)
The other one respawns here, luckily, that guy to the side critfailed his roll for seeing your guy.
there is a skeleton in that corridor.
this turn is just like aliens vs predator requiem, I couldn't see mush of that either
Please send your orders for turn 4!

Welcome to
TURN 4
Brikguy0410
All the guys on the ground and above shoot at the metaforms
Both barrels of the machine gun jam instantly (
)
All 3 Metaforms on the ground get murdered.
the acid however, kills this guy, I don't know what it is about the acid, it only does 1d4 of damage, yet still...
A skeleton climb towards the gun
As does yet another Metaform
More and more arrive, killing another 2 troopers here.
DJ Squidley
Brum brum
He drives off, Warhead shard narrowely dodging.
He comes to a stop in the middle of the road.
this guy climbs towards the gun.
Slice!
(Don't forget, you still have 1 soul to revive a skeleton with if you like!)
Tastyskippy123
One of the greatest assassins in the brikverse moves through the Streets and sets up response fire.
An imperial legionnaire triggers it, getting shreaded to pièces by 14d6
Mgb519
Everyone begins to move into the building.
One comes to a halt a bit higher than the rest and sees his allies shooting at something in the distance.
A metaforms critfails and trips over Warheads staff, alerting the Space troopers to its presence
TheAtomikPunk
GRRR YOU ROADHOG!!!
NOW I HAVE THE BOMBLORRY!!!
Quantumsurfer
The Phalek glides around the corner and triggers the response fire of what appears to be one of the greatest assassins in the brikverse!
The 14d6 of damage and the very small armor role mean the Phalek is killed, luckily, the Security officer was still round the corner.
Sahasrahla
A metaforms critfails and trips over Warheads staff, alerting the Space troopers to its presence
this one fails to hit a skeleton
Two more manage to kill some other targets though.
this one also fails to hit the skeleton.
these 3 get shot to death by bullets.
They respawn here.
right then everyone, I have 2 weeks off, so get in those orders for turn 5 as fast as possible(If you can)

You know those times where everyone has great luck and lives happily ever after like those jehovahs witnesses that just came to my door?
well
Faffing around in the dark Turn 5 isn't one of those times
TheAtomikPunk
the warhead shard jumps into the drivers seat.
Choo Choo!
The battlefield falls silent for a few seconds, as everyones ears adjust to the explosion
The lorry and the Warhead shard are both turned to dust.
You have died(again) would you like to respawn?
Sahasrahla
The Fallen metaform commits suicide, but for what may be the first time, the acid doesn't kill anything
Both the others try and kils the grenade launcher wielding trooper
One fails and rests near a building.
The other one succeeds
these three move towards the egg.
Warhead drives a lorry full of bombs into this area.
bothe Metaforms are killed.
and these 2 respawn.
Yet another space trooper comes and finds the metaforms.
Mgb519
The Metaform kills itself in an attempt to melt the troops with acid, but for once the acid doesn't kill anyone.
they all crowd into the building.
One goes to have a look outside and sees several metaforms and the corpses of the rest of the army.
Dj Squidley
The black skeleton expériences a moment of doubt.
An enormous explosion erupts, annihilating the nearby area.
Black skeleton lands close by, crushed to death by a plank.
Before he had chance to come back to life, the limp armed skeleton got catapulted far, far away by the blast (You still have one soul, I didn't think reviving this guy would be very useful.)
The last living skeleton remains Inside the building, waiting for the moment to strike.
Tastyskippy123
One of the greatest assassins in the brikverse fires a rocket at the guy, whilst it hits the target, he survives, as does his gun.
You then reverse into a building and set up response fire through the door.
Quantumsurfer
You retreat back, climbing over rubble.
You get hit by a small rocket, but survive.
What the hell happened?
Brikguy0410
Your soldiers hear an engine noise...
The 2 normal soldiers, the officer and the soldier on the machine gun all die, as does everything else in the area.
Before he can react, the Metaforms attack the grenade launcher wielder.
and he is killed
Your guys are all dead, would you like to respawn?
Send your orders for turn 6!

I am sorry for the extremely long wait, I've had tons of tests recently, Everyone got their orders in really quickly, so this ones entirely my fault.
Anyway, welcome to TURN 6! In this turn, we see extreme lacks of dice luck, and mind bogglingly large fire power. Also, a building learns just why they call him one of the greatest assassins in the Brikverse.
Sahasrahla
2 Metaforms advance through the Streets towards their egg.
The other 3 arrive at the egg, one that died last turn respawns there too.
These 2 tear the trooper apart.
A bomb blast kills one.
The other is killed by combined SMG fire.
they both respawn here.
Quantumsurfer
The security officer moves through the rubble, looking around.
He spots One of the greatest assassins in the brikverse and gives him a taste of the Fully Automatic Shotgun!
Damn, this annoyed me far more than it should have.
Mgb519
The grenade launcher fires, it lands slightly away from the target, landing on a corpse, also, the guy who looked out before is dead.
The blast however, kills a Metaform.
As you can see here.
everyone else piles out of the building and opens up on the last one.
Ugh...
... It still dies though, so it doesn't really matter.
You have two guys who can fire, the rest need to reload.
Dj Squidley
HIIIIIII!!!
YAAAA!!! Missed, luckily, you didn't hit him, so he has no idea that you are there.
I forgot to take a photo, but the headless, legless skeleton runs out of the building straight into the response fire of a size 2 machine gun....
So many bullets I ran out of normal dice and had to use microdice.
The skeleton absorbed a bit of damage and go turned into dust, the building took the rest.
And was completely reduced to a pile of rubble.
Tastyskippy123
I seem to have been so focused on taking photos of what you did to others, I forgot to take photos of you.
Basically, a skeleton ran out of that house and straight into your response fire, you did the most damage I have ever seen in a game, so much that I ran out of normal dice and had to resort to using the far to small dice that I received for Manly Santa Day.
The shots fired...
The damage dealt...
Undead dust and a house turned to rubble in a few seconds.
(You have to reload, but otherwise, you are in the same place.)
Send orders for turn 7!
Get them in quickly and I can get it out in a few days, otherwise I ll try and do it for wednesday or saturday.

Welcome everyone, to
turn 7! my demons should arrive in a few days, so that'll be nice. In other news...
ALIEN COVENANT IS COMING!!! HOOORRAAAAAHH!!!!!!
TheAtomikPunk
these guys go over here, a few corpses, but hey, this is the Nehellenium, what would you expect?
These guys discover a bunch of allies, what luck!
This one spots a bunch of Metaforms running off, he fires but misses badly, they'll be away quickly, they are very fast.
Quantumsurfer
The Security Officer grabs a brick to use as a shield. and reloads his gun, he chances a glance in the other direction...
...Just as a skeleton urinates straight down his throat...
Tastyskippy123
One of the greatest assassins in the brikverse turns around and finds a Security Officer with a skeleton urinating down his throat and revs up his minigun.
Click click click Ah no! I gotta reload!
Mgb519
3 of the troops who need to reload reload their guns in the middle while 2 others cover them.
these two look out across the battlefield
This one spots 2 allied Luxemburg troops making their way somewhere.
the officer spots the others.
the other one looks out. He spots lots of destruction, what may very well be One of the greatest assassins in the Brikverse and in the far distance, lots and lots of Metaforms, the way they are all over there, its almost as though they are guarding something...
Sahasrahla
these 4 take up positions around the egg.
These two stay by the wall, one hides and the other keeps a look out.
the last 2 make their way towards the small fort.
there seems to be a lot of comotion going on over there.
Dj Squidley
The last skeleton gives the Security Officer a taste of the "bone hurting juice"
It doesn't seem to turn him into a mess of meat and plasteel, but it gives him a nice refreshing snack in the middle of a war.
Right, you may now send your orders for turn 8!
