AAR20120130While conducting a recon with a light armored force, our personnel detected an unusual energy signal from some Imperial ruins. We were sent to investigate. As we approached the area and unnatural darkness descended. We then encountered a massive force of robot like warriors that fell on us like the bizarre green lightning that continually struck our forces throughout the battle. Our men fought bravely, but were cut down mercilessly by waves of these robotic abominations. My unit of storm troopers was then dispatched to the battlefield where we engaged these "things." Our men fought well, but were so massively outnumbered that we could do little more than try to stem the tide. I saw heavy weapons fire bounce harmlessly off of these creatures, and when we did manage to take them down, some of them repaired themselves and stood back up to continue fighting! I could only have been evil sorcery. We managed to cut down dozens of them, but they just kept coming. The battlefield would have been quite impressive form afar, with blasts of lasguns, plasma cannons, meltas and of course the accursed green lightning and the discharges from their unholy Xeno weapons lighting up the darkness. My men died valiantly, and I was prepared to die for the emperor combating these Xeno abominations, but I received orders to withdraw and report on the battle. Unfortunately, Captain Armstrong and the remainder of the force were wiped out. I respectfully suggest the use of extreme caution and massive ordinance when dealing with these creatures.I would also like to request a new squad, so that we can return with adequate support and deal our revenge on these monsters.
