Erak had a moment to look at the monster that the lancers rode. Insectile with emerald green carapaces, six legs ending with capped steel spikes that dug into the stone boulevard like it was cheese. The round head was eyeless and had a pair of waving antennae...

A pug ugly man stuck his head out of the tank’s hatch, a halo of chestnut brown hair cut tight to his scalp. The center of his head was sunburned and flaking, dead skin pulling back from his bright red scalp. A five o’clock shadow darkened his jowls, blac...

Sammus and Foy were beside the broken gates, the interior hallway broken and shattered from the battle, gaping open like a sore on the wall. A pair of tanks sat there, massive and broad, the red light of fires reflecting off their silver carapaces....

It wasn’t a living, thinking thing. A war golem shaped of flesh, muscles and sinews straining tightly over the top a metal frame and powered by infernal means. It was strong and brutal and knew not pain or fear. His every blow did naught but cause more bloo...
