Steel Battalion Suits and Marines advance and regroup, ready to blast some bugs.
The Swarm - Quantumsurfer
The Swarm charges at UPC troops, but they get to fire back before any of the swarm could make contact!
A total of 5 swarmlings are gunned and blasted down from response fire. One broodmender loses a hitpoint.
The rest however gang up and tear down 2 steel battalion suits. Broodmenders begin devouring their fallen kin.
Planetcrackers - lawmaster
PC Marines get lucky with their shots - the Broodmender on the other hand ends up with horrendously low armor rolls. These result in 3 marines successfully gunning down a broodmender with one bolter volley.
Melee troops begin to advance - their flank is mostly barren due to the swarm prioritizing UPC over them.
As the battle rages on, a UPC-affiliated rebel hunter ship enters the battlefield.
It leaves immediately after delivering its cargo!
Agent Nadia: 'Hello Commander! Ready to roast some bugs? Just don't get too overzealous - I just received instructions from the higher ups that we should capture one of those critters if possible, for examination.'
