and their leader...

King Leonidas


@The Hot Gates


"An alien invasion force has arrived on the shores of Sparta. They seek to kill and consume the world's mightiest warriors. Should they succeed they will become more powerful than anyone would dare imagine and all of Greece will surely fall! But King Leonidas and his hand picked bodyguards are not easily defeated..."

Orim

The Spartans fill the Hot Gates, preparing for the onslaught of the alien invaders. Shields locked together, scabbards open for a quick draw and spears at the ready.

The Tyranid army marches towards them. As the distance closes, Hormogaunts, Termagaunts and Genestealers swarm forward to crush this pitiful force with their numbers. The warriors come in slightly behind offering a tactical leadership and some long range suppression fire.

The fight is tough. The fire power of the warriors takes its toll on the relatively unarmoured Spartans. But this mostly affects the the back lines and reserve troops. The front line stand shoulder to shoulder using their brawn and determination to form an impenetrable wall upon which waves of horrific beasts break themselves.

Termagaunts and Hormogaunts offer a challenge but it is no greater then a Spartan warrior has faced in proving his position within this final defence. For all of their horrific ugliness, they bleed just the same. The Genestealers offer a far tougher test. They go down, as do all of Sparta's enemies, but their claws rip through shields and flesh with ease and their size means that it takes a concentrated effort to put one down. Dotted along the line, inward bulges start to appear as they stay up causing havoc and holes in the Spartans defence.

Knowing they are fighting not just for their homes but for all of Greece, possibly the world, the Spartans roar with defiance and push forward with a berserker fury. Dismembered limbs rain down on the the combatants, feeding the rivers of blood flowing in every direction. Just as they begin to push the enemy back, the Spartans reveal their own downfall. As they cause gaps in the in the lines, they see death incarnate approaching.

Monstrous aliens, dwarfing the largest beasts known to the defenders, are coming forward in a relentless march. They reach the battlefield and enter with no inhibitions. Crushing and goring all around them, they show no concern for ally or enemy, their only only concern being to move forward. Spears, swords and shields. Nothing stops these massive beasts as they rampage through all and sundry. The Spartan defensive is torn to shreds as massive holes appear.

The three Carnifex keep marching until they reach the centre of the clustered humans. They are surrounded and slowly hacked to pieces by the best of the best of the Spartan military machine. There is no respite though. While they are dealing with one threat, a far greater threat approaches. Towering over all and sundry, death incarnate comes ripping through the exhausted, demoralised defenders. The speed of the creature alone would cause for alarm but it also brings a whirling vortex of blades that rip the footmen to ribbons. With no apparent effort the bulk of the remaining defenders are destroyed.

The hive tyrant finishing his bloody work and approaches Leonidas and his personal bodyguard. Pausing for a moment, it sends a physic blast at this small ring of final resistance. A million worlds are shown to die in a flash. All crushed under the Tyranid scourge. Only a thirty year warrior upbringing stops the Spartans from crumbling in despair. But nothing can stop the razor sharp blades of death brought forward by the hive tyrant.

What Orim said. Great post.

Ditto. Despite the skill of the 300, don't think they've got the necessary fire power to take down these brrrrrooodeh mudafackahs!

Galvasean

The courageous 300 fall in battle against their merciless enemies.

The next battle will be posted shortly...

Darth Maull




Versus

Edward & Alphonse Elric



Central City

Orim

Alphonse is too slow to take on Maul and I don't believe his armour will be able stand up to a lightsaber.

Edward is a better prospect but even he pales insignificantly to Mauls fighting skills which have been honed he was a child. Again his main fighting attribute is negated by the power of the lightsaber. .

cyberwolf77

Alphonse provides a distraction by attacking Maul openly allowing Ed time to use his alchemic abilities to transmute part of the city street into quicksand beneath their opponent's feet. When Maul attempts to extricate himself from the trap the brothers sandwich his head between a metal fist, and a blade.

The Brothers Elric for the win.
