The chaos become pinned down, Hellforge charges towards the ranks and shreds apart the incoming firepower, this gives the forces a chance to quickly move forward, Scythrax commands a full scale assault on the Tau city destroying whatever the chaos can.
In the distance there is a large explosion, Hellforge lay smoking on the ground with steam funneling out of its chest, its inhuman screeches suggests it is damaged badly, Drizgar progresses forth to aid the maulerfiend and fix its wounds whereas Scythrax and his faithful warriors slash and tear at the broadsides perched outside the city, many chaos fall to the precisioned shots yet Scythrax has a sense of bloodlust he becomes relentless towards the Tau incoming firepower.
The death count in Tau is high yet chaos' is massive, as Scythrax turns to his warriors they lay wounded upon the floor, shards of the warband scattered on the battlefield creates a sense of insanity for Scythrax, at this moment a warp rift opens high in the dark green sky, out appears a large ship, it quickly hovers down and fires a great, grey beam towards the enhanced towering doors of the city, the hinges snap so the entrance is prone, when the ship hits the ground troops disembark, The Knights of Discord's second hulk has arrived and slowly moving carefully outside of the ship is the 'Warriors of Darkness' Scythrax's terminator guard.
