While Ciaran's moves were swift and lethal, the number of his attackers gave him less room to maneuver than he would desire and he often lacked the necessary punch to deal the finishing blow. Many Orks came out of the deadly blade storm with missing limbs, yet that did little to deter their unnatural fighting spirit and they pressed the Marine all the more for the excellent challenge he provided.

To Nexus horror, the Xenos advanced much faster than his frags would explode and so only the slowest of the mob suffered from the shrapnel, while the main part swiftly came upon the team in a wave of grunting, shooting and swinging weapons.

While Marius' frags tear apart several of the greenskins, his move to draw their firing lines against each other fires back and leaves him trapped between two rows of greenskins vividly emptying their Shootas on him. While the majority of bullet ricochet harmlessly off his armor or miss, several manage to find their way under his armor.

The blade crackling with power tears through armor and Xeno skin alike, but when Volprecht draws his grenade, he finds himself swarmed with greenskins hacking and slashing away. Their Choppaz are nowhere near the magnificence of his own blade, yet prove fully able to cause equal damage paired with the Orks' monstrous strength.

Dax shots, despite being well-placed, fail to have the desired effect as the damage he causes is insufficient. Again, the Orks' physique proves incredibly tough as they continue to storm forward even with their arms or legs hanging by mere strands of muscles, if the Bolts are not stopped entirely by their thick hide.

Reus' feels the Warp tug on his mind, but for the moment, it is not beyond what he can handle, what he has trained for. Slowly, their around him seems dense into a dome, here and there reflecting the light of gunfire as if a piece of translucent glass hung in the air. Where the crude projectiles of the Xenos hit it, they were vaporized instantly to dust of blueish light.
