TS again, why? Guard make sense as a reinforcement force but Skitarii don't deploy like that. they deploy in small scout outfits for Hunter Killer missions. They are not a crusade force.

Well if you deploy a tank regiment, you are going to have a rough time in the forests of Crion

Have you read the novel Titanicus? In that book a pretty sizable force of Skitarii is deployed to support a Titan Legion.
Drakka77 wrote: Hmm no I haven't. Okay what numbers of Skitarii are you guys are suggesting? And just what kinds can I take?
Honestly? At minimum I would say have a few to several hundred at minimum. In the last crusade all of the factions got nearly annihilated, so having lots of bodies will be helpful. My Guard are over 1,000 bodies strong
How about 800 Skitarii split into roughly units of 200 apiece. And make them it rough a 175 Rangers, 175 Vanguard, 175 Infiltrators, 175 Ruststalkers, an the last hundred is split up for vehicles. And for funs SSG Alton returned to the Skitarii and took up position as Alpha primus in charge of this force.

To me at least that would probably be fine, as they probably won't all be deploying at once. Asking TS/Chazz might be advisable though to be sure. The Skitarii can be your force in confined quarters (such as Hive Cities and the notorious Crion forests)
Maybe I'm the odd man out, but I really don't worry about specifics as far as numbers go. We each have approximately one (1) army for plot purposes anyways, right?

Technically I have (2), since I have Eldar and Guard.

Yes, barring additional factions and such.
I also have two... or one... depending on how you look at them.

Is this more what your thinking of?
487th Lunar Ventorii Panther Calvary Regiment

I know you like numbers, but just giving a very brief synopsis is good. Keep the numbers to yourself for personal reference
Okay now that I know what I am working with it will be less Numbers flying around and more what are those numbers doing. Is there any way to delete my Armored Regiment's entrance?
Also what is my regiment walking into in that hive Cogger?

Trust me if I guess right this is gonna hurt.
What a coincidence. If my thing goes right it's also REALLY going to hurt.
Mwhahaha this is going to get nasty. By the way which army are you using to attack the Flayed legion?
I have an Eldar Strikeforce in the core of the Hive. So far we've messed up a pretty sizable group of Cultists that were in the area, and hurt the reprisal strike that EoN sent. Other than that I've been kind of ignored by both sides in there (although I don't know if Chazz's guys even know I'm here)
I'm going to take it as a compliment that I appear to be the popular villain so far.
Cogger is mostly a metric feth-ton of cultists holed up in the city, with Eldar portal-jumping into the lower reaches and the Inquisition/Grey Knights/Penal Legions invading from the outside.
Also, there's a dragon. But that's not important right now.

Think of it this way, you can do much more without relying on another force.
I know. I just read through the entire 8 pages. I just think everybody over-complicated the situation the tried their best to fix it, only complicating it even more.
Oh, and by the way, I got word that nobody can post anything about the Gargant till I get my piece up for the 'fortification' of the Space Elevator. I hope I misread it, but just in case, ask TS.

True, I am not unhappy with my new force it is just hard to change the tactical mindset. Tanks are easy, a Recon special equipment group of bikers much more complicated tactically. Which may be a good thing if I don't kill them off with bad rolls. They won't be killing any gargants but now they can actually be helpful in a hive or woods. and don't need a second force.

Don't worry about it too much, named characters are considered to have plot armor of some sort, so you won't kick yourself out of the Crusade (or be kicked out) based on some misfortunate rolls
Welcome to the crusade, Drakka! Just remember, there ain't no party like a Harly party.
And Palleus, you don't need luck! Between the beatings you and I have given him, Skulleater can't have much left to throw at you now, surely.

Anyway, got a post up. The Masque considers their next move and wins a hard-fought battle against one of the greatest dangers of all: a Space Marine's diary.
I like your book translation post. It was an interesting read. I am still figuring out who is who and where who is. By that post your guys are on moon 2?

Not yet, we're actually still on Crion. But we're going to be heading up to Moon 2 as soon as possible, I reckon.
The big battles against Orks are all happening down on Crion - but we're not interested in Orks, we're looking for secrets and hints about whatever mystery the world and moons may hold while also keeping an eye out for particularly troublesome daemons.

Hmm maybe I should come up with an objective for my regiment besides you know kill everything and conquer. Maybe look for STC data and lost tech for my Forgeworld buddies.
I wouldn't say it's strictly necessary - my Harlequins didn't really have a set goal other than 'something really bad may happen here soon, we need to find out what and stop it'.
After that, I've just let things grow organically. If you start writing, your objectives will figure themselves out in time.

True, I am just trying to figure out, how to make more story out of my regiment. Large writing isn't my strong suit which is why I like doing things like this to help me grow in that aspect. A problem I run into is needing inspiration. I am continuing against Hive Cogger, but later I am thinking of shifting around to trying to tackle something else. I am trying to develop a strategy for the regiment as a whole then how my colonel would go about it.
Maybe something about that dragon since I brought Wyrms??? hmm..

This.
Imperial armies are somewhat limited, having a pre-set goal and pre-set allies, compared to the Xenos and Chaos. But as the campaign progresses, you'll forge your own plans, your own story, your own identity.
In the last Crusade, this happened pretty well, with each character being fleshed out and essential to the unfolding narrative. All it took were a few key moments to create the skeleton of a story arc, and it sprang to life from that.
Just meander along, and see where the story takes you.

Also this. Alternatively, it can help storywise to have an actual objective in mind to fill the gaps and provide your forces with some motivation

I just had an idea. Since they are a Forgeworld Expedition escort. Have the Magos of the expedition be a Magos Biologis and ws in search of genetic material to improve the STC of vat grown wyrms. And this planet is rumored to have something similar to wyrms in their legends?

Also never underestimate the characters interaction. The whole way that happened in last made story lines on ots own. We had the whole coupes crusade, the bro templers and ultras, various allies and trechery.
Apart from securing Crion my guys are trying to track down some breeds that are native to crion, it is a subplot that i try and implement from time to time. Overall alot of thinking goes into my guys more so then the writing itself. I have a general idea of what I want to happen to my characters its just a matter of getting there or waiting for an opportunity to come along so my character can change in such a way that i wanted him to from the beginning.

I understand this. This is what I try to do with my guys especially when I am bored and waiting for flow to continue. (Yea I am a bit hyper). Anyways, this time I did it backwards because I already had a unit in the ready. So now I am thinking and developing on the fly.
Edit as a funny side not, I was told on another thread my regiments are way too small and should have more like over 100,000 soldiers each lol.
Im kind of doing it on the fly as in I will get an idea one day and try and implement it into my vague plan, seems to have worked so far. As regard to the numbers thing I just have as much troops as the story requires.

Regarding that thread in question - adding extra guys isn't necessary. There are as many men as the plot requires, on all sides. We don't need to specify how many men, as long as we work in percentile losses.
No need for millions of men when there isn't a need for them. Extra numbers won't improve your rolls. Extra forces will.
Okay, fort making piece is now under construction.

My Howling Banshees and Striking Scorpions would LOVE to fight you in CC Kharne. We're just content to do it on our own terms
Unfortunately, Ta'lok wants to have a word with the Eldar. He had some interesting dreams, and wants to get the Eldar's insight on them. They're much more adapt at decrypting visions tha Ta'lok, and I would imagine eating their soldiers wouldn't our them in a good mood.
Spoiler:
Maybe after that meeting, once alliances are more clear cut, but for now Ta'lok is a dirty xeno to most of the Imperials, and the discovery of the Tau may drive them over edge, because they see Ta'lok as a spy. I'm not complaining, it'd be an interesting plot line, I'm just stating facts.

This, do this. While I've rather given up on it (5+ years in the military changes your priorities), I still try to hammer out a short story or other submission now and then.
Drakka, I believe some fortification posts, then we should be ready to move on the Gargant. Speaking of which, I should probably PMTS my roll for doing my part in that. For consistency issues, I may have a council of Shapers act in Ta'lok's stead for the Gargant event, because he's attending to matters on Crion. That, or he's just that fast.

You think I'm joking? Drop Sentinels are a thing, now we're inventing drop cavalry
True, True. I always saw Elysians Close to being true Air Calvary. It really works since I have the buggies, Sentinels (Elysian in some cases), Salamanders, and Motor bikes. Things easy to drop. Might even get me where I can wreck more stuff.
Trying to handle it mostly in turns, since I'm rolling against you, Chazz, WK, and still doing my own rolls. I'll have a post up vs you and WK decently soon

I apologize EoN. You have so much gak going on for you right now, and there's more coming possibly.

Can do no worse than a mobile Calvary trying its hand at it.

So many people want to hurt my Eldar. Is this about those mocking pictures I put of your hounds online?
pictures ? What pictures ? Did you get my good side at least ?

Part of being the bad guy, no worries. I've got friends in corrupted places who want to party as well...
Ok, so I'm bad at picking up hints on when I should start writing an event, so if someone could bluntly say "BlackJack, it's time to start writing the Battle with the Dreadmob", that'd be greatly appreciated.

I thought we were waiting on some fortification posts by the space elevator, and people to send rolls to TS for their part/roles they were given? If not, my apologies, I'll get working on that.

Naw let them come and then get chomped by Calvary patrols killing any idea of supply lines. What do you guys think of making the Hive uninhabitable, since it seems to be a nest of nasty traitors. Mwhahaha Imperial overkill.

That'd be nice, but I really doubt my work is anything near their desired calibre.

I see what you did there...
I'm going to hammer out some kind of alliance between 2BJ1's Kroot/Imperium and help out Palleus for a bit.
If that works out, I should be friends with most factions on Crion. Except for, yanno, the literal end of days (Hey Evergreen!) or the guys who nobody actually trusts. Including themselves. (Hey WK and Robin!)
Well we won,t be able to stop the stompa at line one probably. But we can use it. Hit the outriders, reduce and weaken the mob and it's defences before the big attack in the valley?

You need no help Kharne. I think I might just peace and feth off to the complete opposite side of the planet from you
Naw, he is making a megalith. Gak will get real as soon as that becomes operational. Scrap that, he will probably ram something with it, we're fine as long as we ain't in that thing that he rams.

You know me all to well, I'll mention this in my next blurb
Never underestimate just how much ordinance a Guard army can throw at you when we want to blow something up. Heck, if it comes down to it I'll have men drop onto it with melta bombs and lascutters.

So, because this Cronylith of destiny is still a very long time from operationality(Words yo), and the fact that nobody actually knows Kharne is here, I would suggest we do something about the biggest threat that isn't currently getting written about.
Namely EoN. Sorry mate, but your cultists are usually the heralds of something bigger(and in this case, you have confirmed it is), so I'm bringing my Gorgons to the Chaos Moon to beat your ass with my stik until you cry for Slaanesh.
Edit: And progress on the fortification piece has been halted until TS can get back me with some questions.
Oh, and speaking of which: I'm looking for someone to host a civilian non-combatant plot point character. Can PM if interested, but essentially it's one of the Legion's targets on the world
Granted, I could just run it solo, but I'd like to interact with some of the writers here in less of a shooty-stabby capacity

If you're okay with Kusun and Mithras glaring at them constantly, and the Black Legion generally not touching them with a 10-foot pole, I suppose we could have a little alliance
And that reminds me, I still need to set some sort of goal for the Remnants to achieve... who is this character you are interested in again, EoN?

It's a MacGuffin, really. The Legion is on Crion looking for something specific, which this character would serve as a link to, that's pretty much it

Sounds good
Also Eon, let me know if you need more help, I can send some Canoptek Goodies, which should do well in an Urban environment
I won't turn it down, but I should probably do some research on what Necron stuff can do (we don't have a lot of Necron players in my local meta). Feel free to make rolls and chime in on the Hive whenever
In fun news, I got to play a couple of games with Palleus this past week, so enjoy a few screencaps from Hannibal's Iron Horde clashing with the Flayed Legion
It's like how I could have the following characters, some of which are "leaders" who I can use to lead various forces, others are just characters I can write with
Colonel James Taylor
Captain Lawrence Green
Corporal Eve
Sergeant Nicholi
Etc..
You can have as many characters as you desire, but I'd keep the number of "leaders" down
My kroot have Ta'lok as the leader, and he has his own personal pack he will hunt with when he can, which consists of Grulkin, Meenos, Seri, Mal'caor (Ta'lok's kroothound), Lo'kai, and Kai'lo. I also have a council of Kroot Shapers working for BC, and a side character named Voshia, who shows up occasionally.
My orks have Gorgrim BadToof, Glotzinga da Dok, Grizby da grot, Killrod da Deffdread, Gorehound (formerly a feral warboss), and now Jeramin, if I decide to keep him around. He'd mainly be around to make my orks seem more evil, and tyrannic, at least from a humie'z perspective. After all, we all know dat da orks are da best, an' Gorgrim has nevah done anyfing wrong. Got it, ya gitz?

Jeramin is obviously a Xeno sympathizer. He will die alongside the rest of your Orks
He tried shooting one as it rampaged through his town and home, and got dragged off into slavery. I assure you, and your joking sarcasm, he is no sympathizer. And, if you're smart, you'd see him as a source of intelligence about the orks, not target practice.

You really don't get how the Imperium operates do you?

No, I know how it works. You're fighting some orks, ok, that's normal. You see some human slaves, who know the inner workings of this WAAAAGH, have information on the layout of the place, and are more than willing to spill their guts to you for saving them. Plus, you're guardsmen, so you're likely to be more sympathetic to them, than someone like the Space Sharks, or Marines Malevolent. And there are cases of even SM saving slaves.

There's also many cases of slaves being blammed, as they are thought tainted by association with xenos. I was joking when I said I would shoot him, but it's also entirely likely that if he was found out to have served the Orks (willingly or not) that he would be killed
Depends on the attackers, and the scenario. I'd like to think your veteran ork hunting guardsmen would see an opportunity for easy information on the local big bad warboss, and take it. But hey, if you want to blow Jeramin's brains out, be my guest. Who knows, maybe he'll turn to chaos to have them save him, seeing as how the Imperium never bothered to do it.

Again. I wasn't saying I would. You are correct that my Guardsmen would probably not kill him. I was originally just joking, but thinking about it, if Chazz's lot found out about him....
2BlackJack1 wrote: Oh, but Kharne, Gorehound may believe your Sharks taste great. Also, I'm curious how the Hound's will react when they find out Gorehound isn't dead.
they will probably make it one of their priorities to kill him off, finishing the job they started and all that,perhaps having his head on a spike to be hung outside Canis Caelum. Maybe they would use their battle barge to decapitate him
I'm waiting on roll results from TS before I can make any actual progress. I can hardly write about Kharne killing the gargant if it turns out he rolled a major defeat. Minor things have been done, but the meat of it relies on roll results.
I had assumed we all needed to send rolls for it. It wouldn't be very crusade-like to do major events without rolling, IMO. We had to roll for the hybrids, so I assumed we had to roll for the gargant.
Yes, please. That's what I'm waiting on for the gargant event is the roll results, and TS can't give me the roll results without rolls. So, if you haven't given TS a roll for the Dreadmob, please do, and this applies to everyone involved. Thank you for your compliance.
Also, a little fun fact, kroot can speak without moving their beaks. I'm going to save that little piece of knowledge for later, as its said to be quite unnerving to most people.
Oh yea have fun with that. He's in a bit too deep. Like, one hundred thousand orks too deep. Plus you have absolutely no idea he exists, or have any possible way to get to him.

What music do you want to be played at your funeral. I'll be organising it.
Oh, and I'll make sure Blackjack isn't invited, I am courtious after all.
Woah woah woah. Why am I not invited? If it's the whole "I killed Jeramin" bit, then I can see where you're coming from, but everyone deserves a second chance. Plus I'll keep Gorehound away, he'll try and the poor git.
Also, are we missing anyone that needs to PMTS still?

If you killed Jeramin then can I go ahead and just start carpet bombing you?
He isn't dead right now, and technicallyou speaking, you can carpet mob me whenever. You don't know Jeramin exists, so what's stopping you? Bomb me, perhaps you'll kill Jeramin for me. That'd be ironic.

It would be quite ironic. He survives the Orks only to die in a random bombing run by the Imperium
I'm waiting for the Gargant stuff to wrap up so my Guard can go ork hunting (it's why they came here after all) and so my Eldar can get back to fighting EoN and trying to assassinate Chazz's characters
Indeed he did. Although he must wait for me to get out my piece(of which I need you to get back to me on the PM I sent you.) to post it, as I think you stated clearly a few pages ago.
Unless I missed my mark, over Hive cogger way we are missing WK eldar shenagains, Chazz Inquisitoral presence, and EoN's response to Imperial reinforcements.
