Warpath: Ghosts of the Past



"From the edge of the clearing in which the cyphers had deployed came a harsh, guttural roar, a sound that instantly put the cyphers on edge. This would be the first battle against the Scourge for many of them. Then they appeared, a rampaging, rolling host of horrors, running from between the trees, brandishing projectile and melee weapons, and screaming their hate at the Asterian troops as they came.



â€œCalm yourselves,â€ Tui Hu said, â€œWe will hold this point as long as we must.â€ There was no way of knowing how long it would take the other dropships to arrive and deliver the full strength of the clade and the other cyphers did not answer with words but with action, moving into a combat formation immediately and opening fire.



Noh fields flared into life as their rifles sent pulses of energy into the advancing horde. Where the Noh energy hit flesh it vaporised their enemies, separating heads and limbs from bodies, leaving gaping holes in the torsos and cleansing this world of the taint the Scourge had put upon it."
