An Unlikely Alliance.

A few days ago we received a message from the Trenchcoats. They wanted our help in flushing out those Van Saar, the Saints, who had holed up with the Enforcer squad who call themselves the Dredd-notts. Seeing their positions, we approached from the same side, giving each other cover fire as best we could as our close combat guys moved in. Instead of waiting for us to show ourselves in the building, those Saints decided they wanted to pick us off as we approached. They had a few lucky shots, but we sniped them as they stuck their heads up in the windows. That robot dog of theirs even tried to take Mikhail, but one shot with his autogun and it's receptors were melted. Our newest members made a good show of themselves, with Chekov knocking Donal from his perch and Fyodor standing up time and time again as he was hit, but not wounded. Ivan and Yuri both scored wounds and the cowards ran away.

I hated working with those slimy Delaque's though, and I've sent our newest recruit, Andrei, to scout out their movements. We will engage them on the field of battle soon, proving that we are the ruling gang of the Underhive.

Sump Beasts

The Cawdor House lead send us down into the sump to clear away some beasts. As we arrived and set up we noticed those infernal Enforcers setting up across the way. Maybe they could be useful, I thought as I arranged my men. We waited patiently for a few minutes to see f those creatures would show themselves, and lo and be hold, they came fast and heavy. We laid down plenty of fire, but had little luck. The creatures were so fast that we couldn't seem to hit them. While I had the majority of the Coil set up on top of a tower with only one way for the creatures to attack, some of them were separated and unable to get themselves to safety before the beast pounced on them. Several of the men fell and I decided it was best for us to leave before we became more overwhelmed. Let the enforcers clean up the mess, the Coil has better things to do!

A training session

   I took the Coil out a few days ago. We ran into a gang of Van Saar as we were securing a dome. It was a heck of a fight, and we ended up clearing them away, but 7 of my guys went down. What impressed me most was Viktor. After finding himself in a spot that he could not see the battlefield, he moved quickly to high ground. As he moved, his brother, Nikolai was cut down brutally by the Van Saar leader's chainsword.Victor waited patiently for a clear shot and then unloaded his heavy bolter. Their leader never had a chance as he was hit again and again. The blood soaked the floors as we cleared from the dome. I don't want to know what clears bodies like those away, but I'm not that worried either. We carried our wounded back to the camp and they have all recovered. It was a glorious training opportunity. I plan to take them out on a campaign soon. Though where to, I don't know.

Training

Diving into this, I never thought I would have the difficulties I have had putting this gang together. Sure, I've got experienced gangers, but what does it take to get them to work together. Even to get them all to wear our colors seems difficult. And those juves! Nicolai can't seem to get through to the rest of them that they have to be willing to die to live in the hive...but at least they are cheap to outfit...
