their fore…limbs; though in truth the weapons were merely extensions of their limbs; fused to them;
as much a part of the creature as the rest of their vile bodies。
Bolters and heavy weapons roared; ripping the first of the creatures apart in bloody explosions;
but they continued scuttling forwards; oblivious or uncaring of their fallen。 Their bio…weapons
pulsed; the fleshy projectile tubes contracting sharply with peristalsis。 Marduk felt something
splatter across his left arm plates; and hissed in pain。
Looking down; he saw a mass of fleshy grubs boring through his ceramite vambrace and into his
flesh; and he swatted frantically at them; trying to dislodge them。 He squashed dozens of them as
they scrabbled for purchase on his armour; but several of them were already too deep for him to
easily remove; burrowing into the muscle of his forearm; squirming within his body as they feasted
on his flesh。
Focusing his mind; he pushed away the pain and discomfort; and killed two of the tyranids with
his pistol。 He saw one of the 13th coterie fall to the ground; screaming in agony as a mass of
writhing flesh…worms burrowed through his helmet; clogging his respirator and boring through the
lenses covering his eyes; gnawing their way through his skull and into his brain。
A flamer roared; bathing the tyranid brood in burning promethium; and they screamed in
inhuman torment as their bodies were consumed。 Bolters tore through the survivors; but still more
clambered over the bodies of the dead to fire their living ammunition into the tight circle of Word
Bearers。 More snow was kicked up as another spore slammed down into the ice。
Marduk ducked his head as a stream of beetles was spat towards him。 Several wriggling bugs
struck his right shoulder pad; painted black in mourning for Jarulek; but he squashed the voracious
feeder creatures before they could bury themselves in his armour and flesh。
A second putrid stream of voracious organisms spat past Marduk to engulf Darioq…Grendh’al。
An orb of energy appeared around the corrupted magos; and the coruscating electricity of the potent
conversion field fried the tiny creatures。
The magos turned heavily towards its attacker as the flickering energy field disappeared; and
Marduk sensed anger surge through the daemon inhabiting the ex…priest’s flesh。 Darioq…Grendh’al
planted his feet; bracing himself as the two servo…arms over his back stabbed forwards; their forms
blurring as they were altered by the power of the warp。 Metal re…formed and a pair of fleshy
tentacles joined with the servo…arms; forming a cable; part organic and part mineral; pulsing with
energy。
A pair of incandescent beams roared from the reformed servo…arms; and the power of Chaos
screamed in Marduk’s ears。
The beams struck the tyranids; and half a dozen of them were engulfed in an inferno; hissing and
writhing as their flesh mutated。 Tentacles tipped with chitinous barbs burst from within the tyranids;
ripping through their flesh and thrashing out through eye…sockets and mouths; turning the xenos
beings inside out。 Within moments; all that remained of the tyranids struck by Darioq…Grendh’al’s
fire was a thrashing mass of tentacles。
“Impressive;” said Marduk with a smile as Darioq…Grendh’al’s servo…arms moulded back to
their usual form。
“Two minutes;” shouted Kol Badar as yet another spore…pod slammed down; crushing a handful
of tyranids beneath its impact。 This pod was much larger than the others; and powerful forms larger
even than an Astartes warrior struggled to free themselves from within it。
“To the north…west; move!” roared Kol Badar as a trio of giant tyranid beasts ripped free of the
skin of the large spore…pod and reared up to their full height—easily twice that of a normal man—
and another brood of smaller creatures swarmed from the howling winds; angling towards the Word
Bearers。 More pods slammed down from the heavens。
“Move; Grendh’al;” said Marduk; impelling the creature with his voice of command; and though
the daemon resisted him; its will was overpowered; and it reluctantly turned to do as it was bid。

The Word Bearers carved through the hordes of lesser tyranids like a spear through water;
smashing them aside as they drove forwards。 A warrior stumbled as maggotlike organisms
splattered across his armour; acidic life…fluids melting through his armour plates and burning into
his flesh。 Marduk lifted the warrior back to his feet; supporting him with one arm as he fired。
Spotlights tore through the darkness and the swirling snow; and the hulking shapes of Land
Raiders appeared through the whitewash of fog and ice。 Incandescent las…cannon beams stabbed
from side…sponsons; scything through tyranid organisms that hurled themselves at the Word Bearers;
symbiotic bio…weapons spitting。 Heavy bolters scythed through dozens of the xenos beasts; ripping
them apart with their high calibre rounds。
The Land Raiders came to a grinding halt before the warriors of the XVII Legion; growling like
daemonic beasts; their hot breath steaming from exhaust stacks。 The frontal assault ramps smashed
down onto the ice; and the warriors of the XVII Legion stormed inside the gaping interiors of the
immense steel beasts。
Sabtec relieved Marduk of the wounded warrior he was supporting。 The warrior was reciting the
Doxology of Revilement; focusing on the words to alleviate the pain of the bio…acid melting through
his armour and flesh。 As he passed the warrior into Sabtec’s care; Marduk spun around standing in
the door of the Land Raider as the last of the warriors of the Host stamped forwards。
The larger tyranid creatures they had seen clawing their way free of their spore…pod were
stalking towards the Land Raiders; their tails thrashing。 Each pair of upper arms ended in scything
blades; and their secondary pairs of arms moulded into long…barrelled bio…cannons。 A swarm of the
lesser tyranids raced towards Marduk as the assault ramp began to close; and he fired into the pack;
dropping two of them。
Lascannon beams made the air crackle with electrical energy as the twin…linked side…sponsons of
the mighty Land Raiders fired; and one of the large tyranid creatures was vaporised。 The other two
lurched forwards; discharging their long…barrelled bio…weapons towards Marduk even as the
swarming horde of lesser xenos raced towards him。
The bio…weapons ammunition splattered onto the assault ramp of the Land Raider as it rose;
spraying acid across the thick metal that began to hiss and bubble。 A drop splashed onto Marduk’s
chest plate; burning a hole through his armour and searing his flesh; but he ignored the wound and
slashed with his chainsword as the lesser tyranids launched themselves onto the Land Raider’s
chassis。
Heavy bolter fire ripped two of them to shreds as the Land Raider lurched into reverse; but two
of them hurled themselves through the closing aperture as the assault ramp hissed closed; and
Marduk killed the first; impaling its head on his chainblade; the whirring teeth ripping its skull apart。
Sabtec killed the second creature; slamming its bestial; xenos face into the side of the Land Raider
again and again until it was an unrecognisable; bloody pulp。
More of the small tyranids scrabbled at the assault ramp as it closed; but then the assault ramp
was sealed; severing several stabbing blade…arms that fell to the floor inside; leaking foul…smelling
fluids。
Marduk slumped down into one of the seats; breathing hard。
Only then did he realise that he still had the bony blade…arm of one of the creatures protruding
from his chest。 He ripped it clear with a sharp movement; and tossed it to the floor alongside the pair
of tyranid corpses。
The Doxology of Revilement was still being recited as Sabtec tore the melting breastplate from
the warrior of his coterie who had been splashed with bio…acid; and the champion sprayed a black
film over the wounds。
“First Acolyte;” said Kol Badar over a closed channel from the other Land Raider。
“Go ahead;” said Marduk。

“The tyranid invasion may have covered half this world already;” said the Coryphaus。 “I feel
that it would be inadvisable to proceed to the drop…ship’s location overland。 We d
