(My apologies for another delayed reply. This will probably be consistent for a few months. I thought I should ask now if you guys mind. I do thank you for your patience, and will try to be more on the ball.)

The other Blood Angels move out, roaming out from the Imperial lines and moving to secure what intelligence assets they can. They are joined by some of the more veteran Partisans, who move out to assist in the ‘collection’ of Tau prisoners.

Siros waves to the Knight, “We appreciate your help deeply great one. You displayed exceptionally courage in smashing that Tau force. We lack a great deal of ammunition and supplies, but we will provide you with anything we can. We don’t know of any active tank units however; Tau hunter killer teams stalk the land – alongside heretic kill squads.”

The officer looks around, some Imperial troops now approaching the Knight carrying all manner of ammunition – clearly unclear as to what kind the great machine would make use of – though some have brought Leman Russ tank rounds,

“We have not heard of any traitor Knights, however. Some vox traffic did speak of a heretic forces hunting behind Tau lines – apparently they had armour of some kind with them – enough to draw the Tau’s attention for some time at least. It could be the Knight you speak of.”

Imperial troops return, dragging with them a number of battered looking Tau. While none are officers, the guard are quick to deposit them at the centre of the Imperial lines, their wrists bound.

At night, the Blood Angel Astartes will return with a number of Tau NCOs and a couple of officers.

The Shadowsword’s engine proves surprisingly undamaged – bar a small number of valves and pipes, it remains largely intact, and functional – which it functions with routine venting of gasses and the occasional spark of life. The vehicle in general is quick to guide Tarkhan when it can to any problems, which are few and far between
