Is this the complete list of everyone who went to the meeting? I know the Kroot were there.

Vanden, another name suggestion for your fort-builders would be the Stone Masons, if you really want the, to be known for setting up fortifications.

The 2nd helsreach gorgons were there

Nevermind I'm dumb

That name sounds fun. But when I hear that, I just think of dwarves building gak.

I will add it to my list of potential names.

You know you could always be the chapter with no name, be all cool and mysterious, only thing is it might make it hard to refer to you. They could have forsworn their name after they fell.

The who now?

Was thinking Dorns shield or Dorn's Phalanx

My list isn't getting any smaller...

FETH IT!

FROM NOW ON, THEY'RE CALLED THE IRON SENTINELS!

It sounds more like a Iron Hand descendant Chapter, But I don't give a feth.

I like it, i just imagine a quartered colour schem of grey and teal

Stone Sentinels? Stone Wardens? Stone Guardians? Stone Masons?

Stone sentinels would be a step down tbh. Iron < Stone.

Yes, but having Iron in your chapter name probably means you are an Iron Hands successor.

Well, I agree to be honest. But is sounds so cooooooooooooool :(

I concur. Eh...I have to give the name some more thought. I will tell you guys either tomorrow or the day after.

Sentinals of Dorn?

Dorn's legion ?

Shieldbearers?

And this is where I leave CoF for good.

Dorn's Shieldbearing Guardian Angels of the Stone Fortress.

Sentinels of Dorn sounds sensible

And you can just abbreviate to the sentinels or dorns sentinels.

I know, I'm gakking with you dick heads

Sure you were bud.

Stone Warriors? Stone Defenders? Stone Hawks? Stone Sharks? Stone Wolves? Stone Angels? Dark Stone Angels? Blood Stone Angels? Space Stones? But it wasn't just a stone. It was a Stone Lobster?

Forgot the wolf stones or the space stones.

Imperial Stones? Stone Fists? Crimnson Stones? Iron Stones? Stone Hands? Ultra Stones? Stone Marines? Stone Salamanders?

I'm thinking more along the lines of Stoned Marines.

This is going to go on the meme board isn't it? "Piss off Vanden with possible less-cringy names for his Chapter."

Dammit Vanden don't get my hopes up like that

The Patrolling Stones.

New hit record . Paint it yellow .

Thanks Kharne, I will edit his name now

Okay, so I'm torn between the [insert name of mineral] Wardens, the [insert mineral name here] Sentinels and the Stoned Marines. Thoughts?

If it were up to me, Stone Wardens or Iron sentinels

Eh yea. Feth it. I can't handle this naming thing anymore. Stone Wardens it is. Now, I'm just going to feth with the colour scheme...

Steel Sentinels or Steel Wardens sound pretty cool too

I agree, or maybe a type of gemstone? Onyx Wardens or Obsidian Sentinels sound pretty badass

How about something like this ?

I loved the meeting, Irish. Ta'lok stole the stage and he didn't say a word. Also, are we looking for someone to write up the next part of it, with discussions of what comes next, or is TS doing that?

Thanks Blackjack, from what I understand TS is writing up our objectives for thr future.

I am compiling everyone's rolls into a list of objectives each person needs to accomplish

I wish Chazz told me about this... There really wasn't a prophesy surrounding the dragon on the mountain... I just borrowed a little inspiration from the Hobbit.

I should have my Eldar blurb up by tomorrow, and I'll get my Guard blurb up not too long after, just have to finish talking to our Mighty Lord about something.

Okay, so the Guard piece that I may or may not get out by today will be set before the meeting. Just a heads up to you peeps.

 Sgt. Vanden wrote:

I'm working on blurbs for my Eldar and Guard. Things went well for my tricksy Eldar (those Inquisition and Chaos fools are too busy slap fighting each other to notice me!). Still waiting on my Guard roll, but it involves my Vendettas/Vultures pestering the Gargant for long enough so that Vanden can build a pillow fort to hold it off

Wait, so are we meant to send TS the rolls for the Gargant? Ah gak, I have to figure out what I need to roll for...

Start building the fort at a canyon, or defend a more defensible position?

One would be less study, but we might be able to crush the gargant under pebbles, the other, we would have more to shoot it with, but thats how we'd have to kill it. With bullets and lazers.

Well, I did pretty well at locating the main body of the mob of Deff Dreadz and Killa Kanz, and I was successful in my rocket runs on them. Can't do much to the big boy with rockets though.

My Kroot will just be in the trenches getting stuck in with the main ork infantry, and/or dropping in, killing off a few nobz and boyz, then falling back and repeating the process elsewhere. Probably the latter, because it's less costly, and drains the morale of the orks if they get less of a fight.

Well, someone is going to have to hold back the orks until I build the fort, then someone is going to have to lead them to the fort.

Volunteers?

 Sgt. Vanden wrote:

My guys are currently doing bombing runs on the main body of the horde to slow them down, and the horde itself is moving slower than anticipated, for reasons known only to me and TS

The Kroot may be able to assist. Launching raids is their specialty, and it helps show that they are useful.

 2BlackJack1 wrote:

I'd be careful about raiding too closely to the horde. I'm launching bombing runs on the main horde.

Here is the objectives for the assault on the Gargant. Irish guessed his number exactly, so he is the head of this operation.



Jhe90- Space Wolves, and Auxiliary forces
You are an anvil. You need to keep the Orks as far away from the Elevator as possible and preferably out of the desert. It is far too easy to lose them in a sandstorm.

BobtheHero- Tempestus Scions
Headhunting. Kill the Nobz and a Big Boss or two to destabilize the internal affairs of the Orks. They more we can get the Orks to fight themselves the better.

Tactical_Spam- Arbiters of Truth
Clean up crew. I will be picking off any stragglers or vanguard units that get to the desert.

irishpeacockz- Emperor's Hounds
You are in command. You can do with your forces as you desire. Keep everyone in line.

chazz huggins- Inquisition/Grey Knights
You are tied up at Cogger. If you have anything to spare, you can go assist in the headhunting.

Kharne the Befriender- Charcarodons Astra
You get your wish. You are taking a book out of Lysander's book and forming a "Titan Hammer." You will be the one to bring down the Gargant.

Sgt. Vanden- Stone Wardens
Fortify the Elevator. You will be following the Wolves into battle. If the situation turns south, you will high tail it back to the Elevator and hold tight until the other forces can relieve you.

War Kitten- Elysian 14th Hell Divers
You will keep air superiority and be on standby for the Sharks. When the Gargant falls, you will need to divert yourself to knocking out any other priority targets (ie, Stompas, Mega Dreads, War Bosses, etc).

2BlackJack1- Kroot
You will be picking off stragglers, support units and anything that lags behind the mob. You will also keep in close contact with the Governor and fill him in periodically about the state of the offensive.

Sgt. Vanden- 2nd Helsreach Gorgons
You will be providing air support for the Wolves and be holding the line with the Stone Wardens.

Okay, disregard the roll i gave you.

And what about my Guard? They're there too...If you need another roll, just tell me.

May I ask what my Kroot will be doing? My guess is just sideline activities like thinning the herd?

So stupid question, do I need to roll for my objective in addition to the roll I got from you already?

 Sgt. Vanden wrote:

They are the Helsreach what again? I will add them to the OP so I don't forget them along with the objective list. In all honesty, they will probably be holding the Elevator along with your Wardens

 2BlackJack1 wrote:

Yep, along with being Governor Payne's eyes and ears.

2nd Helsreach Gorgons.

I could help WK with air runs too. I has a lot of gunships(not as many as WK, but still quite a few)

 War Kitten wrote:

You are fine for now. I will have you roll later.

I think your gunships would serve better with the Wolves as they can easily refuel and rearm because they will be closer to home. What do you think?

Where are your Gorgons again?

Ah, ok. This will be a fun event to write for. And if everyone wants to get some fungus steak, the Kroot may be willing to share, provided you ask nicely, of course.

I'm fine with that. I get a chance to finally prove my worth in the eyes of my allies

Got a short blurb up for my Eldar that serves two purposes.

1. To show that my Eldar aren't dead.
2. To test out the feasibility of writing more blurbs in first person POV. I found it easier to write it in that style, let me know what you guys think.

I liked it. It certainly helps with character building, and adds a new depth to the 'Eldar superior race' bit the knife ears have going for them.

Assassination duty eh? Better rock out the hellshots then. And good thing, most of my forces are tied elsewhere

I was trying to show how Raela (it was Raela for those of you who were unaware) has changed since she joined up with the Eldar. I'm trying to make her more of my character, and how her thoughts and feelings have changed since becoming a Warlock

Lilliana isn't in Hive Cogger, that's Raela's show (for now at least). I'm hoping you don't mean that in a bad way.

She's with the body of the Eldar force. I couldn't send all that much stuff to the Hive, so Raela (being her defacto second in command) was sent to lead the strikeforce in Cogger. As soon as I figure out what I want the rest of my Eldar to do I'll bring her back in.

Eh, I think both of my forces will steer away from this Couples Crusade gak.
Iodius can't. Because he's a Space Marine. And they ain't allowed relationships.

And Henri and co. cannot because they all have spouses back at home.

You know, it's funny that you mention Korvel. I'm not at liberty to say why, but give me a few days, and it'll make more sense. Currently I'm feeling like gak, so my progress for writing has stopped, but once I kick this I can finish it up.

1. It's been 5 years.

I'll make sure to remind you.

So you're irritated because I decided to change the character to suit how I thought she might have changed and developed over the last few years? Ok then. I guess you're right that you shouldn't give me your characters, as you don't like how I alter them.

Take him. Archarus is busy with other things, and Vorhees isn't a fan of Chaos Gods. I was happy to have the extra hand, the daemon had quite the talent for whale hunting.

It's not too late to join in, just contact one of our DM's (either Tactical_Spam or Chazz Huggins) and send them a PM detailing your force (basically, faction, important leaders and any other relative details). For example, one of my two forces here is the Warhost of Craftworld Iybraesil, led by Farseer Lilliana. As for a recap.... I'm not too sure.


Welcome to the Crusade!

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/683827.page This is where all the gak goes down.

Ask Tactical_Spam and/or Chazz if you want to join with whatever you are bringing. (Eg. Hey fam, was wondering if I could join this glorious crusade with a contingent of Dark Eldar dweebs. My force is as follows...)

Then you're in.

Hope this helps. Oh, and it appears I stole BlackJacks job. got ninja'd by WK.

You did indeed. And I guess I'm the de-facto greeter when 2BJ1 is off to bed.

Hell naw, Ima beat you with a metaphorical stick the next time you ninja me.

Plus that title is reserved to me and/or Irish(Or anybody who responds first tbh...)

I play Eldar Vanden, all we do is ninja

Then you will be beat to a pulp by my stick.
Subtext yo

This probably isn't the best way to get new people into the Crusade.

Most likely not.

We really should leave the greeting to 2BJ, he's really good at this stuff.

Yea. He doesn't go into hitting people with sticks that can be read and misinterpreted.

You should ask nicely before hitting people with your stick Vanden. We're a polite society after all.

Thank you, it was more of a test than anything else. Since the general consensus is that it's ok I'll be trying it out on my Guard blurb.

Oh, wait a second. Why is Kharne, the most suicidal and possibly heretical out of us all, given the most pivotal role in the coming super fight?

This will go great.

You apparently haven't lived in Australia. One second you could be walking to the supermarket, the next, A flying, 8 inch McPhallus will hit you in the face. The culprits behind it would be a trio of masculine minors, who are also mugging you, while constantly hitting you with their phalli.

Oh, wait a second. Why is Kharne, the most suicidal and possibly heretical out of us all, given the most pivotal role in the coming super fight?

This will go great.

I rather think TS is the most heretical out of all of us. A lot of people in his chapter went full heretic. You NEVER go full heretic.

Seems Blackjack has been replaced as the welcomer, welcome btw. My roll was also spot on for the meeting, this luck is gonna bite me in the ass at some point.

Piece is up. Bout time too...

Question is there a limit on the size of the force your character is bringing? The rank of your character? Or their standing in there formation?

Well, as its already been mentioned, it's never too late to join (unless we're working on the finale, but never tell me the odds!)

So, like WK and Vanden said, pick a faction, think of a description about them (though I'm assuming you'll be using one of your home brew chapters you posted on the background section, but I may be wrong.) I'd say PM TS, because he can edit the first page right away then. Also, the Second Sun thread has a map showing where everyone is, so you can pick a spot accordingly.

Any other questions, feel free to ask me, the guy who wasn't threatened to hit someone with a stick yet.

Key word is yet.

Oh, and to answer your question. Yes. Kinda. Just make sure it isn't "Okay. I have a Black Crusade coming to Crion. Have fun." or "Have my 100 thousand man strong Imperial Guard army. We will take back this unimportant Agri-world where we could be defending Cadia."

Question two is a no. I have a Lord-General chillin around with an entire regiment. And TS got a Chapter Master. So as long it isn't a high lord of Terra or Failbaddon, you should be right.

Question three is I have no idea.

So, there is a limit on the force strength. There isn't really one on the leader's rank though, I'm using a Grand Shaper as my leader for the Kroot for example, which is pretty much as high ranking as a Kroot can be without being Anghkor Prok.

That sounds Korean as feth.

Anyhoo, I've said my piece. As helpful as it was. So goodbye for the night.

Edit: I can see BlackJack pulling out his stick already...

So a salty Platoon Sergeant with a squad of special guardsmen wouldn't be too much?

The fact that you said Fyragh was whale hunting is hilarious. In the original incarnation of the New Order, the Halo Guard, I had based them off of fictional characters. The Chapter Master name was Ishmaeus and he lost his arm to a giant white Carnifex.

Great minds do think alike, I guess.

Also, how is the gargant assault going to be written? IE will we have one giant chunk outlining each assault, or does each person just roll for their piece and write it up when time allows? If it's the latter, there might be inconsistencies, such as how the gargant actually dies, and what's happening along the battlefield elsewhere.

Suicide mission you say? The 19th Valerian Elite squads will be there. We have all and none. Death better come to the other bastard first. Hahahaha.

Best motto ever. You'll fit in quite nicely Drakka.

Here is a couple of Quotes from my Bloodmoon Hunters Chapter

"With iron and fire the beast shall be lain low at the hands of the Hunters whose home is under the Bloodmoon."

"Bring on the Angels of Blood and Darkness as thy descend from the heavens to smite our enemies. Let the Wolves of war rend and tear our foes to pieces. And we of the Bloodmoon Hunters shall bring the iron and fire as our vehicles crush all that oppose us under our treads."

The Bloodmoon Hunters Chapter is my project chapter. http://bloodmoonhunters.wikidot.com/ This is just some of what I have. I am still working on them.


Also think of my guardsmen of being just short of scions in some ways. They are all Veterans of suicide mission scale deployments. So the RP they originally came from was a War of the Worlds WH40k version. They started at Fighting Eldar's Farseer guard army and ended up in the center of a Necron Invasion. Alton's original unit was devoured by Nids. Several of the Guardsmen are vets against Orks. Just a list of former units before they joined the 19th Valerian


SSG Alton - 77th Mjior Prime Skitarii Legion
Veteran Pfiffer - Armageddon Steel 48th Scout Division
Veteran Felix - 19th Valerian Light Infantry Regiment (An original)
Trooper Saven - 125th Therion Heavy Infantry Regiment (Think Tempest light)
Trooper Vermont - An Elysian Drop Regiment
Trooper Graf - A Vostroyan First Born Regiment
Troopers Simon and Andreas - 1st Tarsis Redeemers (Light Infantry) (A Sniper/Spotter Duo)
Medicae Trooper Zita - Utica IV Desert Fox Regiment (Think Tallarn)
Ogyrn Rex - An Catchan Jungle Fighters Regiment

So not the run of the mil. I can bring more if you guys like though. Would a Platoon Sound better? And I can give armament if you guys want.

Except for the fact that he has an Ogryn and Ogryns are claustrophobic.

I can write it, if you wish Lord Master. I do have free time now, even if I am on the receiving end of a flu right now. I'd just need a general outline of how everyone did with their rolls, and probably a small description of the characters, so I don't feth them up.

Also, Drakka, what's your guards' opinion of xenos mercenaries? It sort of affects me. Ta'lok always appreciates a human that won't shoot him in the back. Almost as much as Grulkin likes punching the nearest moving thing that's smaller than him.

Lets just wait a bit for everyone to know what they are doing.

Welcome Drakka!

I run the Necron Democratic Convention
And the Carcharodons aka Loyal Khornate Berzerkers

Welcome to the Crusade!

A few warnings, fethery is everywhere and will either be considered heresy or a good roll.

Probably not. But eh. My guys might be able to bite off an ankle.

Hey hey. You Xeno scum will die under the treads of the Hammer of the Imperium.

Actually, he would be doing me a favour by going after the Tau on Crion. I don't want to be stealing all of the Crusade from Chazz by putting everything on the moons.

That is true. Cogger is on a knifes edge. I suppose it's up to Drakka though. You want to fight orks, or traitors?

I mean, it doesn't take a rockets scientist to figure out that I'm doing stuff in Hive Cogger. There's your first place to look.

Well I could go anvil then but I will end up dropping my special squad or at least the Orgyn.

Thanks for the tip WK

Happy to help Kharne. Watch out for the landmines.

Well. So far for Guard we have

Me: Air-Cavalry Regiment
Vanden: Mechanized Infantry (with some flyers)

So pretty much anything would be just fine. I would suggest either an infantry based regiment (since we have 2 mechanized ones) or a pure Armored Regiment.

Boop.

As a not!GM, I'd advise on bringing a single regiment. Easier to manage.
You've put a lot of effort into that Command Squad, but as a Sergeant, they won't be able to command more than a platoon. You'd be better off writing from the Regiment Commander's perspective, at least somewhat. You can run both, or from the grunts' perspective, but it would be easier to start out at the top. Again, your call.

Regarding that squad - their own potential will be limited. This is a full crusade, not a series of squad actions. Would you be prepared to lose some of that command squad as casualties in the battles to come, knowing you could fail heavily? Again - this crusade is about Your Dudes, but less the infantry and more the army leaders. If you have time, check out the casulaty count in the last CoF - most factions, bar one or two, were practically annihilated, and the anti-heroes won. This will not always be in your favour, in case you weren't aware. GMs rule everything. But hey, you'll be fine.

Welcome to the CoF II.

You really shouldn't look into it. It's perfectly fine. Really. Just keep up your little war against Chazz and don't worry about what the Eldar are doing behind the scenes.

I hope I did your cultists justice EoN, I was having some difficulty with portraying them; I couldn't decide between them being regular cultists aka dudes-way-in-over-their-heads or actually well-trained militia

Stop distracting me with shiny things, WK. Literal shiny things. Grey Knight armor, you know. Fine-tuning my next post, should be up this afternoon.

I will never stop distracting you with shiny objects. My shiny objects will block out the sun

So where is the distress call loudest? I.E. Who would most benefit from a Armored Regiment reinforcements? I know the Crion is winding down into the Xeno's hands or at least it seems that way from the map. And the Moons are facing an Ork horde with a Gargant? or am I missing something?

There's a couple of crises ongoing. I'd recommend checking out the current armies, talk to someone who you might reinforce, and that way you can have an IC and OOC lead-in to the campaign

That's why I put it here so people can tell me who would actually like reinforcements. Then I can check out who is interested make a decision, then write an IC lead in.

Im sure Chazz's Inquisitor would appreciate reinforcements at Hive Cogger.

Hive Cogger is not on the map, his inquisition symbol is but not the hive as far as I can see.

It's on Luna Epsilon, east of Mt Gorgon

Okay sure. I would be glad to help. now two points. I understand that Chazz has been absent recently so we will need to wait for him

Second, is a Armored column really gonna help him inside a hive. The guns on Baneblades and Leman Russ do cause um lets say collateral damage a lot.

Hmmm good point, there is still some feral ork warbosses to wipe out.

Would it be wrong to break into battalions and support a few people?

Quite frankly you'd probably be better off helping with defending the Space Elevator.


Oh, and my Guard blurb is up. I did some recon, and blew up some Orks. All in all a pretty good day for me

Good point, and my Artillery Batteries could dig in and possibly help against the Kroot at the Governor's place. Basilisks are a wonderful thing. And Have my other three battalion deploy around the elevator and patrol? what actual threat is right there?

New Pavus, I have 2000 Scions and 5000 bloodthirsty PDF there. I can spare enough snipers for my objective Vs the Gargant, all that said

Bob's guys are good at head hunting. Just ask him about the Tau Commander he assassinated in CoF 1

Took a lot of resources, even an orbital strike, but I got my (wo) man

Cool Cool, its good to hear that infantry support is doing well nearby the idea of a deployment zone. Where is this Gargant?

My regiment is also mostly infantry (with some sentinel support), we just typically deploy from Valkyrie/Vendetta.

The Gargant is with the Dread Mob that is (slowly) moving towards the Space Elevator. I'm sure your guys would probably see my Flyers returning to base, and you could probably write up some of your guys talking to one of my pilots about it.

Actually I was thinking maybe an unveiling of the Treads of super heavies and over hundred heavies rolling out from the Space Elevator ready for battle. Maybe having some comms of the situation to organize deployment and provide cover for your flyers.

Actually, that's pretty decent. My flyers basically go back to re-fuel and re-arm, and either on the way back to base, or flying towards the elevator one of my pilots can tell your guys what's going on.

Drakka's characters know nothing of the meeting to bring down the Gargant. That was kind of the reason I was going to send him after the Tau

It would be Irish who tells them because he is the head of command.

What's Irish's unit and how is the chain of command currently?

Irish's army is the Emperor's Hounds, and he's giving the orders currently because his roll was the closest.

Well they are Marines, if I am reading everything alright. So it makes sense. Now do I do up a number if I am just reinforcing a sector? And is Irish still pretty active recently?

Dang, with all these new Imperial factions coming in, I might have to speed up progress on the Megalith

How big is a zone and how are we calculating ranges?

The kroot are working for the governor as mercenaries, they are not hostile, yet.

Help against? My Kroot are working for the governor. In fact, that imbicile is relying on Ta'lok to help him out with the Tau right now, and any actual defense on his island.

Well I hear you guys still have an Ork problem that the God-Emperor's Hammer Guns can provide some help with. Its heavy firepower just a ponderance to redeploy once done. Irish, since you Hounds have command. Direct your reinforcements lol.

Its 4 Super heavies, 120 Heavies, 50 or so Artillery, and a smattering of medium to light vehicles, including anti air platforms.

As the warlord of the imperium, its up to your commander to inform the brand new reinforcements of the Gargant because IC my regiment knows very little.

You have air support, and a bunch of Guardsmen who can drop in wherever they're needed to support you.

I'm going to be fielding as a full heavy company. Armour, artillary, anti air. Spartan, marstadon.
Full heavy armour brigade.

No real need Jfe90 to field an armored brigade when a Full Heavy Armor Regiment is deploying w/ Artillery Support. What its light on is actual infantry. War Kitten maybe provide ground pounders for Tank Support?

I would toss in my Guardsmen but they're on garrison duty.

Ok mech brigade but im not ground pounding in trenches without mobility . I'm gonna have to hit hard and pretty fast.

WK, I'll assist in air support.

I'll have the Carcharius, my 3 Fire Raptors, and my Assault rams acting as the head of the Titan Hammer

Mobility is always good. I will probably post tomorrow a entry IC post of the Regiment arriving via the Space Elevator. Then they need to get informed and then we need to make a IC battle plan to engage.

We aren't forgetting about the knights are we ?

I can hold my heavy force as a reserve line. ?

We have 4 knight suits. A super heavy company, marines, artillary, air borne. More marines.

This is looking like a army now.

Let me see if we got this right?

Drakka77 (myself) Deploying an Full Armor Regiment
Jhe90 Deploying a Brigade of Mechanized Infantry as Armor Support
Kharne Deploying ?? Aircraft support
War Kitten Deploying ?? Air Calvary Support

And against is a Mechanized Army of Killa Kans and a Gargant (Ork Titan)

I think the knights are a part of the Wolves now

I took control. Quietly off.kitten.

We agreed. I was gonna run as partial npc super heavy back up.

Looks like the time.

No idea what my guys could do, anvil ?

Then they take the front lines with the Wolves.

How is this since the GM wants my assets elseware but the gargant is the most active part right now. I split my deployment in two. Two Battalions of Heavy Tanks head to the Tau battle, and The Artillery Stays at the Space Elevator and provide long range support, the last Battalion with the DoomHammer (Anti-Titan Superheavy) Support the the Gargant hunt.

Maybe pair up with the wolves?

No, the Chaos controlled moon is actually the most active thing in the Crusade.

Il be welcoming back up. I'm pulling a tough job holding a line.

Even with super heavy and a artillery brigade behind me. Not easy.

Again, my Guardsmen are a mobile reserve. The fliers provide aerial support, and the men inside can drop if need be.

Why do we keep telling Drakka to help with the Gargant after I said he would be much more appreciated elsewhere?

Okay so I may be wrong on what is most active. But does my deployment sound okay? I am trying to figure it out before I post. An I think I will wait for Irish to post something about informing the incoming reinforcements of the overall battle strategy to my commander.

Very well, Hound and wolf shall fight together.

If that is what you are talking about, then I need you to go fight the Tau and go get stuck in on the Chaos moon.

Which moon is the chaos moon? And where are the Tau? I was going to send the other half of my regiment at the tau, though depending on how they are armed, it may be moot.

The Chaos Moon is moon #2

The chaos moon is Luna Epsilon , and hasnt Tobias Payne sent Ta'lok to deal with the Tau ? Do the other Imperial forces know they are there ?

The other moon... there are only two and the only reason the chaos haven't invaded Crion is because the Inquisition is giving them hell.

Okay and what will tanks be doing on Moon Epsilon? Who is out their to support and be supported by?

Isn't the Space Elevator on Crion? and Doesn't that make the orks there too? or am I mis reading the maps?

My Eldar are somewhat neutral in this. We don't like Chaos, but we're not on good terms with the Space Sharks. So how we treat you is dependent on how you treat us.

No that is what we are trying to stop, if they reach the space elevator on Luna Maximus they could travel to Luna Epsilon or Crion hence why we are fortifying the elevator.

Fair point.

Ok sp I know the elavator is the fire base.

Where the wolf line forming up?

Fort Deacon. That is our first line of defense. Our next line is the desert and that is where I am and then we have the Elevator itself with the Helsreach Gorgons and the Stone Wardens

What are we the anvil ? If so I imagine it might be the at the opening of the canyon but it all depends on how Blackjack wanna writes it. EDIT: or you know, what TS said, nevermind

The Inquisition

The one in a hive? The one where Tanks are just likely to cause harm as to help? I am not as useful as infantry. Unless I deploy two regiments or something. Armor regiments are generally for big battles with lots of space to roam. I can deploy there especially one battalion is armed for urban fighting as Tanks but I have my Battalions optimized for different skill sets.

1st Battalion led by the Baneblade is my kind of run of the mill Battalion
2nd Battalion led by the HellHammer is a bit more urban
3rd Battalion Led by a DoomHammer is a Titan And Tank Hunters
Then a Scattering of various Artillery and light Tanks make up the last Battalion but it has basically a mobile Fortress as its command tank.

Why do you have four(!) tanks battalions?

I suppose due to the close proximity of Canis Caelum I could send a handful of aircraft to hold the line and provide a refuelling point for allying aircraft

Its a Fully Heavy Armor Regiment. There are no Brigades. It is how I divided my tanks and the command. The full numbers of each archtype is on the forum but it breaks down roughly

For Regiment Totals
120 Leman Russ
3 Baneblade Variants
1 Malcador Variant
40 Artillery Pieces
20 Anti Air Pieces
12 Light Tanks
6 Ammo Transports
40 Recovery Tanks

Tank Battalion Totals
40 Leman Russ
1 Banebalde Variant
10 Recovery Tanks

And the rest are in the Artillery Battalion.

120 LRBTs is a huge number for a single Imperial Guard Regiment. I would say that 40 is a more suitable number.

You are the GM if you really want only one Battalion but Me and a good portion of the RP part of Eternal Crusades did a research break down of how tank regiments are formed for IG. They go in squadrons of three and three squadrons form a company lead by a command tank making each company 10 tanks Eah battalion would have 3-5 companies so I chose three. Each Battalion is lead by a baneblade with a command escort of ten tanks (basically a command Company), then had three battalions form a regiment with a support battalion of Artillery and light escorts.

A Full Regiment is a heavy thing when you talk Tanks that is why they are only deployed in crusades or as attachments.
