There is little I can do to replace your heavy weapons lieutenant. Even the Emperor's miracles seldom come in the form of a Banblade company being dropped from orbit.
But I do not believe we are their targets in any case. The Xenos pride themselves on their blasphemous tactics. That armor will attempt to strike deep, punching through all our lines before they are ready. They will push through the line, but not bother to slow themselves to destroy those who remain behind on foot. Listen!
[And there it is, over the battlefield. The high pitched drone of Devilfish infantry carriers. The mopping-up teams. Fire-Warrior squads with every single one of them equipped with plasma weapons that will cut through Sisters and Guardsmen with equal ease.]
... I believe my sisters will need me to help close up ranks and hold their current position. Contracting our lines from this point will leave a hole in our formation. The Xenos will exploit it ruthlessly, but if we time it right, we may turn it into a trap. I will prevail upon my superiors to release the Exorcists at the moment of maximum concentration. You may wish to re-orient your remaining lascanon and have them hold fire until they can fire upon the enemy's rear armor.
