Is it weird that I have 2.5 armies? One is attached to one of them, but not exactly...

Vagueness intensifies.

Drinking intensifies.

Bad mix.

Great post smudge! I'm really enjoying the cloak and dagger stuff your tau/tillers are doing

Also: Good job on the time line, maybe we can put in a bit about your favorite ork rising to power?

Also: I'mma miss you, and your cult of Khorne, Gore! Good luck with your classes!

Also: Vanden, my new humie boyz are setting up camp in Dorn's shield. I see some joint missions in the future?

That depends if they like moustaches.

Irish, I'll pm you.

And thanks Palleus, I'll need it

You ain't denying it and why should you ? Whats wrong with having a few deflated swimming pools lying around ?

Erhem...ERHEMETYHEMHEM...

It's a lot more than a few deflated swimming pools, let me tell you that much.

You sigged that Vanden, my job is done

Just. As. Planned.

Hey Vanden, did your guys actually find Irish's base, or is its swampy location still unknown?

Swampy location unknown. We know it's out there though. Where else would the completely fethed cultists go?

Also TS, try a more polite approach, it gets you further.

Wasn't trying to be rude, I was trying to be honest.

Irish, it's something about the network your device is going through. But a thread in the Nuts and Bolt would get you a more specific response. I do know that you can request for a mod to make a one time, permanent change to a country's flag.

And anyway, I'm liking the time line Smudge. It's a really nice touch to the crusade, and something the last crusade could've used.

Ah screw it, tis only a small thing. Sorry if I seemed aggressive earlier TS, let us move on

OKAY. WHO THE feth GOT THE THREAD MOVED TO FORUM GAMES?!

Oh what.

Well I guess it's not a fiction thread, but it doesn't make sense to split both, I think.

Was wonder why I couldn't find it in fiction, makes sense I suppose

Hey Chazz, do you think you could add a link to this thread in the Second Sun thread? I don't want to have people post in the wrong areas, and finding this thread will be rather difficult to now with its current location.

I'll be honest, I think it's appropriate that the OOC is in Forum Games. I think a warning prior would have been nice, but hey.

As long as you have a link or don't mind scrolling through the frequently updated posts in Forum Games, this shouldn't be a massive issue.

It would also go some way to preventing the OOC dominating the Fiction it was created for.
But hey, that's my two cents.

Done

Edit: Also i'm surprised we didn't get moved sooner, the ooc was kinda hogging the top spot in the fiction section and it had nothing to do with actual fiction. I think this is more appropriate. They could have just as easily deleted it for being too off topic.

I'm just not happy that the 'MOD' who moved us didn't have the decency to pop in and actually say something, instead of saying 'figure it out' and moving us.

It is pretty rude to just throw a 400 page topic without any explanation, especially when it leaves no explanation how to join CoF.
People are not going to look in here to comment on it and we're gonna get spam in the main thread.

edit: Ah thanks chazz. Hopefully people will still find this.

But we are a forum game now... Interesting... And if finding the Mod who put this in here is important to you, hit that little triangle of friendship and ask which one did it.

I thought the yellow triangle was for rule breaks?

Still, regardless of if you feel that the OOC should be here or not, it would have been only fair for the mod to have dropped a line in, and a reason if necessary.

EDIT: Triplepost

EDIT: Doublepost

New post up, lotta dialogue in this one.

Hey! I found the thread again! (had to google it, but yay!)

Got worried that it was deleted or something.

Irish: Nice job on the posts! It's really good work. And I am very much in favor of spacing out the dialogue. It makes it so much easier to read, and so much easier to tell who exactly is talking.

Vanden: Forgot to mention this:

Appreciate the feedback Palleus unfortunately its a rare thing nowadays, I'll stick to spacing it out then

I might be making my (possibly) triumphant return to the CoF soon. After an extended leave of absence I think I'm ready to get back into it. I'm tempted to just start fresh with new armies entirely though, I'm hopelessly far behind

Nah come on man, it's really not that many pages in the CoF itself, you can easily read that in the time it'd take to watch a couple episodes of something.

My issue is that both my armies were near/in Cogger and since that whole thing is a clusterfeth I'm not sure what's going on with that

Your armies and mine are free to do whatever we are in post capturing hive phase.

Guess I just need to figure out what my Eldar are doing. They were right in the middle of the Hive when the fecal matter hit the rotary air impeller

In short, every army that didn't belong to the Chaos alliance managed to survive the final battle at Cogger without taking too much casualties. The Eldar sneaked out of the city through a tunnel network, whilst the Imperials presumably stuck around to quell the last pieces of resistance before moving on.

This. Eldar were never mentioned in the assault, and no Imperial force took that much of a beating.

You could easily move on without reading the battle, but it's up to you.

Thanks guys. I just need a day or two to catch up, then I'll try to shoot a number off to our Overlords, I mean GM's

Just to be clear, the Tillers just want to usurp Tobias payne right ? Not the imperium itself ?

 Irishpeacockz wrote:

As far as I was aware, yes. They're still loyal to the Emperor, but just see Tobias Payne as a bad ruler. They won't try expand beyond Crion, AFAIK.

The Tillers only care about getting rid of Tobias. They are still loyal to the Imperium, and the Emperor.

Good to know peeps just making sure

A rebellion against any imperial autorities is a rebellion against the Imperium as a whole. Traitors

Tell that to the Scions.

If it's an incompetent Imperial authority, a case can be made.
The moment Horatio takes the mantle of Governor, he is technically the Lord of Crion, so long as he serves the wider Imperium.

We followed a higher imperial autority, and history is written by the winners.

You slaughtered followers of the Lord General - in terms of highest ranker even after Zonand's death, I think the loyalists had the higher rankers.

History may be written by the winners, in which case, if the Tiller get on the throne, they're in the right.

I've got characters working for Tobias, but I'm still thinking the Tillers are in the right. Tobias has ridiculous taxes and is making a wealthy planet's population starve for his own excess and greed.

Tillers won't get on the throne.

The Arbiters are staying out of the politics of the Campaign. Too much hysteria.

The funny thing is, TS, that even if you do stay out of Imperial politics, you'll still end up fethed in the crossfire.

There's a Strike Force of Death Ravens that would very much like to confirm that, but sadly they were all bombarded by their own allies and then summarily executed.

Who would do such a thing?

Traitors to the true Lord General, I would assume.

*laughs in Scion*

Wouldn't the Lord Governor of Crion be in charge? Whilst an Inquisitor *can* lever power and overrule the Governor, it was decreed by the High Lords that the Governor has power over the system. Politics outweigh hypothetical rank.
And seeing as the Crion Compact was initiated, so long as the Governor is able to supply food to the sub-sector, they legally command entire armies if under threat.

Of course, such a situation could be avoided if the agricultural infrastructure of Crion were somehow disabled, forcing the Governor to declare themselves unable to produce food for the sector, and must withdraw under the Crion Compact.

Martial Law was only placed, IIRC, in New Pavus, following the Scion failure to capture Major O'Connell.

But as for the rest of Crion? Still under the jurisdiction of the Lord Governor.
Quoted from the fluff on the Crion sector:
"In fact, the High Lords of Terra issued what is known as the Crion Compact in M40 which guarantees Crion any aid they may need in exchange for their bountiful harvest."

How can Crion have aid if they cannot command it? If they cannot command it, how can they continue their bountiful harvest?
That's the argument I can imagine any savvy Governor using, and I think the HLOT would tend to follow that, for the good of the sub-sector.

No Lord General.

There's the Lord Commander of the Segmentum Solar, or the Lord Commander Militant of the Imperial Guard, but no Lord General. Pavus was a Lord General, both being a Lord and in command of a standing Imperial army.

Oh, I've got that too. I just pick up fluff for practically every faction, and it just sticks. Besides, Ultras were my first army anyhow, Space Marines are probably the one I know best

Ja, Lord General Henri McFallus. Not Lord Commander lol

So I received the 3rd edition Guard codex today, and I've been flipping through it for some inspiration for my Guard army and it's given me some ideas regarding my Guard army in this Crusade

I just realized that at top speed, a Valkyrie goes 305m a second. That's pretty fethed tbh, cause in Space Engineers(One of my fav games), the top speed is 104m/s, and even then, that's pretty fething fast.

Guess I'm going to have to rethink my entire piece...

Is that your latest piece or one you are working on now ?

Swoosh swoosh, motherfether, gotta go fast

So I have a question for you guys. Would anyone care overly much if I did a bit of a retcon for my Guard and made them a primarily infantry based regiment (with some Sentinel support) and maybe changed the commander? I've used Taylor more than once already

I'd say go for it.

Drive on WK, no complaints from me

A little late, but I made this for Chazz.

Dude. Did you just cite Space Engineers? We need to swap steam account info, I'm in need some someone to play on that with

Also: A few steps to having fun in Space Engineers:

1: Obtain a mod that takes the limit off of the top speed.

2: Build a large ship and fill it full of gravity generators that all point forwards, and artificial mass blocks.

3: Turn them all on.

4: Crash the game.

5: Profit!

feth yes mate. I got the limiter set at 800m/s for small ships, and 400m/s for big ones. But I was talking about the vanilla game, because my computer usually gaks itself when fast ship meets asteroid, and 800m/s means that that happens often, cause I usually don't have any side thrusters because I am dumb.

I also enjoy ramming ships. So, I am basically Kharne.

I used to ramp up the max speed, but then I kept running into my own missiles, so that wasn't fun

 Sgt. Vanden wrote:

I have at least three ships designed just to ram things.

I think there's a little Kharne in all of us. Just waiting to ram really big things with slightly less big things.

Anyways, I'm trying my luck against Irish's forces. Wish me luck!

Gorgrim did a good Kharne maneuver to start the crusade. He rammed an entire chunk of the space hulk into the moon.

By, I enjoy ramming ships, I mean I made a troop transport that rams a ship, then inserts a 9x9 cube of warheads, then injects a payload of hunter drones after the explosion goes off.

fething brilliant when it works, but it uses rotors and pistons, so you know what happens.

Also good luck

True that... Not many things, other than orks and apparently nids, can crash a space ship into a moon and walk out going "Just as planned"

Side note: Hannibal has Gorgrim to thank for his rise to power I wonder what's going to happen when he figures that out

I gots the blueprint ready

So since I'm getting back into the swing of things, where are the general Xeno/Chaos threats now? I don't want specifics, because that would be meta gaming, but I'd like to have a general direction I can send my Guard in

Not Cogger.

You're real funny Vanden, the Hammer of the Emperor will fall upon you soon

Fook off, you're gunna live with me, you better bring manners

Well then. Should we politely team up and go after Palleus and his Orks?

I would like to take this moment and remind the imperium that Hannibal and his unconscious self is still unknown to the imperium. I've just been bashing other greenskin heads in.

Well my soon to be named Guard are heading down to the main planet soon, I'm hoping I'll run into you down there at some point. Lots of good fighting...

I have plans to involve more Imperial forces in New Pavus, just need to see the final post about the gargant, unless I missed it.

I'm iffy about having my Guard anywhere near you Bob. People tend to receive artillery shells to the back when you're around

Chaos threat ? Where ? Definetly not here move along

Ok guys you heard him, there's no Chaos here. Let's go home...

We could do an after Cogger mop up post and the interaction of two really unique regiments and penal legionaires.

I've narrowed down my Guard to either be from Savlar or Dneipr. If I do Savlar I'd have a regiment that's even more kleptomaniacal than the Remnants

WELL THAT fething SETTLES IT!

FRANK, GET THE SCREWDRIVER, WE'RE BOLTING EVERYTHING DOWN!

If you wanted, you could make up an entire regiment? My Histans are entirely homebrew.

I could, but I'm not good at coming up with planet names. I'd rather pick an established planet (such as Savlar or Dneipr) and use what I know about regiments from that planet as a base for my own


And bolts won't save your stuff from getting looted my friend

fething lasguns will.

Alright. Now that my Guard are Chem Dogs, which of you lot has the best stuff to loot?

So flying chem dogs? Nice

They prolly get along great with my wild bunch of Guard.

Not flying. Ground pounders now. Attacking Cogger made me realize the drawbacks of a mostly air force

They can still have large numbers of birds but now they are all loaded with pounders and have chem tanks to back them up.

Maybe, but my general impression of the Chem Dogs from the 4th edition codex was that they were primarily light infantry, plus whatever vehicles they could beg/borrow/steal

That they are at least the written ones. Doesn't mean you couldn't have ones that stole from a flying unit or were just lucky during issue. My guys are orginially a dirative of Harkoni Warhawks.

Maybe, but enough for the entire regiment? I'll have some flying squads, but even the men and women of Savlar aren't good enough to steal THAT many Valkyries

I wasnt saying have the entire regiment flying anymore just enough. Just have alot of mechanized equipment. Chem tanks, hellhounds, and other light tank vehicles. Basically your lot is the smart ones of the chem dogs.

I'll just see how everything plays out. I do want to have some Bane Wolves though

Troops finally deployed in New Pavus.

Everything that has to do with deployement and the printing press happened before the first attack. The rest happened after.

So Bob, would your Scions have a use for a bunch of kleptomaniacal Guardsmen? My guys are heading to Hotch if you would like some aid

Sure sure they are your regiment. I am still going to try a post cogger regiment interactions post.

Yup, I'll write about it in the next blurb, when Riley comes back from the Gargant battle with a report on the Imperial forces.

Need any details on my guys? It's pretty much a complete retcon for me. So it'd be Chem Dogs you're talking to at Cogger

Oh wait, never was in Cogger, though you sent them to attack the Gargant, nevermind, I'll contact your dudes via vox

That was actually intended for Drakka and his post Cogger regiment interaction

So what happened to the IG helping the Sharks fight the Gargant, out of curiosity? They cease to exist?

No, it was some Valkyries my regiment had "borrowed" that were assisting him. I'm sorry for the confusion.

It's alright, I was just wondering.

I probably should have thought about that beforehand. My mistake.

To me its not much of a retcon but a clarification. Also yea anything you got on your regiment we can hash out a joint post in PM if you like.

PM sent

Ok, it would seem the warp has returned us to where we were, weird.

Warp travel in this place takes some weird turns. .

Managed to roll a Major Victory for my first roll since I came back. The Savlar 5th have arrived in style!

Very nice. This crusade is going to be a right good brawl lol with two wild mechanized regiments running around.

It turns out that the Tillers weakness is being shot in the spine. Go figure

I think swallowing a grenade would be a bit more effective.

You're doing it wrong, both of you. Stab 'em in the gut. Edgar didn't like it, and soldiers follow after their leaders.

Don't worry, I did plenty of that too. I'm waiting for Bob to get on so I can tell him what's going on

Did you decapitate them after? It helps more than you'd think. It also proves to the xenophobic gue'la that your army can help, but that's more of a localized problem.

No but I did use a Bane Wolf on them. Does that count?

No, that uses fire. You just overcooked every piece of meat there. I don't think the kroot will like working alongside you.

That's a Hellhound silly. Bane Wolves reduce people to piles of goo

Meh, it's the exact same chassis with a mildly modified swivel turret. Tomayto tomato.

A quick google search said they used flamethrowers. Apparently it was too quick of a search...

The point still stands. Be normal and leave the remains in a way that isn't roadkill or ash.

Man things are getting intense ! The pm's are real

Flames are not the same thing as noxious chemicals that are classified as deadly to all organic life and that melt power armor

Sounds op to me

Devil Dog is still better.

The Banewolf isn't that good. You need to get close, and its only AP3, so most MC's or other higher tier gak will just ROFLstomp it the next turn. And it's only template range, so even then, only 1 wound per model.

It's a Chimera Chassis that has to get REALLY close to its target to use. At least the Hellhound has Torrent on its gun.

Hey guys, I'm getting involved on New Pavus, you're fethed.

Good thing my Guard are now there.

Guess New parvus will be the new cogger.

Where is New Pavus? I've yet to look

Hopefully not, I dont want this crusade to just be one siege after another

I can relieve this siege though. I has explosives, and zero care what WK's Guard do with them

Metal Reptile

What explosives Vanden? I already stole them

Good, now use them WK.

I love how you think that you're Bob, or MAYBE even Ezra, but you don't seriously know how out-matched you are in terms of magpieness.

Just a polite reminder that we were asked to stay on topic as much as possible.

Since when did they do that? We were moved without anybody saying anything.

This siege will be interesting.

What are we sieging this time? In all the confusion I had forgotten myself.

New Pavus, everything is kicking off there

I've been finding it hard to work out - do we have a large goal like with CoF, or is this more of an elbow space shuffle amongst people inhabiting Crion?

 Buttery Commissar wrote:

I don't really think there is an overarching goal like last time.

The only one I can see really as a story element is righting the civil war, either by eradicating the Tillers, deposing Tobias Payne, or negotiations. But not many people seem too invested in that storyline.

Well, as my Rogue Traders are still non combat, we'll take a crack at some politics...
But I can't see an end goal from my EC's point of view, and while they are up for proving prowess, they're not going to just stand around so they can be repeatedly kicked.

My Guard are here to fight the Tillers. So their goals are to do that, to survive, and to get some good looting done while they're at it

Hm, my EC would likely come down, find the biggest honorable target and kick its ass. They're about perfection, and will skip merrily away from scrubby little warbands if not deemed interesting.

My orks? Recapture the gribblies that escaped, and get some cool loot.

My kroot? Get some jobs out of this, which they aren't doing poorly with. A Governor is a rich man. A desperate Governor is a rich man willing to spend more.

My Marines are here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, my Guard are here for reasons of them being too nice.

The Disciples of Decay are here to convert everyone to Nurgle's cause.

The Emperor's Hounds are here to stabilise Crion, well officially anyway, they are also here to scan the local wildlife for exotic breeds of canines that they may breed into their own kennels but that is kept on the hush hush

Necrons are here to build the Megalith and take Crion.

Tau are here to help Necrons (and other Tau)

Tarellians are here to honor a contract

Sharks are here for Eldar

Redeemers are here to honor a debt to the Sharks

Orks are here because they were born here ...and to get a proper horde going.

My new guys are here to prove themselves against the enemies of humanity (mainly icky heretics ). Tillers are not on their radar that much.

How's that Eldar hunting going Kharne? Your Sharks don't seem to be trying overly hard

Also, why is it that anytime I go anywhere a siege starts up?

Im joining that hunt too WK whenever it starts

Why do I have a feeling I'm going to be so screwed in this hunt when there's like 3 people hunting me?

Who is the third person in this hunt ?

2BJ mentioned sending his Kroot along a while back

3*

*May or may be either hunting or trolling

You're running five things?

so my IG are here to serve Imperial interests and Mechanicus interests.

My Hunters are here to capture tech alien and human.

Which one is going to do trolling, Vanden? If you mean my kroot, then they will do exactly what they are paid to do, no more, no less.

Well, I have 2 main forces:

Imperials, which is astartes with guard support (Little less than a Regiment)

NecronTauRellians, I have minimal Necrons (Maybe a couple hundred), Tau as a main force (not numbers wise), and Tarellians who are my Auxiliaries (Like meaner, angrier Kroot, but not as savvy).

EDIT: After I get school things situated and my forge built I'll start getting all the writing out, so far I have things for all of my guys and I need to get it all done

*laughs in Eldar*

And you will see who is trolling Jack, I can't spoil it for everyone

The 85th is there to stabilize the situation regarding the Tillers

Oh, I forgot to ask, who are you going to ask for assistance Bob? Your Scions hinted at it in the last post, or is it a hush-hush thingy...

My Guard are always bored, so shooting traitors is always fun.

Though they do not take executions or torture well, so don't ask them if your Scions are sadists.

My Guard are actually already moving to render assistance. Got a Major Victory to help out too

Oh, if that's the case, I'm staying away. Sorry. I don't want anything non-explosive getting stolen.

I'll stick to building up Dorn's Shield and shooting puss-people.

I meant the regiments that fought the gargant. WK generously sent his guard anyway so I might not have to call for more bodies

I do have lots of bodies Bob, enough to plug most of the holes that might be present in our defenses.

What happened to sticking to 1-2 factions so our story doesn't get convoluted?

Quite noteworthy indeed Vanden. A Guard army has lots of bodies? Shocking! Alert the press!

They're technically 2 factions consisting of 4 races. I only bring them in to enrich the story, layout background, and to advance the story in my case.

It's not like each one is a full fledged army

That reminds me. I need to figure out where my Eldar ran off to. Cogger is resolved and all that

Wouldn't they just return to their camp with the main army ?

That's the thing. I don't remember where my camp was

Somebody meme this immediately

Well, I'd say at this point, there should be roughly as many Imperials in New Pavus as Tillers, except the Imperials have better training generally, but lower morale (at least on the PDF), but the Tillers have less discipline but better guns.

The PDF would be depleted, due to the various skirmishes and the initial siege, the Scions incapable of defending with so few numbers, so your Guardsmen are really the main bulk of the force, bringing it level.

Got my Guard blurb finished up and I'll be posting it in a bit. Let me know if I left anything out (mostly making sure I got Bobs Scions correct)

 War Kitten wrote:

Ah I see, well you could move the camp then I suppose

I plan on doing that as my Eldar's first move. I'm just wondering if I need to roll for it

My humies have finally arrived (with a bonus cameo from chazz).

More Scions? More fancy kit to loot!

Nice blurb Palleus

Alright I just sent like 83 private messages regarding the battle of New Pavus. Specifically the skies have been of great interest and we have four players rolling off for aerial dominance. This should get really interesting or really really really messy. Hopefully just interesting.

Can I assume that most of my.Guardsmen made it in to the city so I don't lose most of my regiment to a botched roll?

Yeah, I was thinking of bringing in my Guard to New Pavus, but now I'm thinking against it considering how royally fethed that amount of PM's is.

Also Palleus 'n' War Kitty, nice blurbs.

Inquisitorial Scions, too. And more Grey Knights

 War Kitten wrote:

I think that would be fair, as smudge said your guys will be the backbone/ bulk of the imperium's forces there so it would make sense that you guys are garrisoned inside New Pavus

I asked because I'm still an airborne regiment and the biggest airborne clusterfeth is going on above the city. I'd like to have my guys be in the city proper so if I lose a bunch of Valkyries/Vendettas I still have a force

 Bobthehero wrote:

I thought the Grey Knights were Chazz's? Ala the Chazz cameo Palleus mentioned

Ah, right

Chazz sent a squad of grey knights from cogger to me during the siege, this is said squad

One thing I'm wondering is why is it that everywhere I go a siege starts up?

Random question, would anyone mind if I tried bringing my Knights back as well? I left them in jhe's care

Seeing as he has been inactive and has done nothing with them im fine with that.

That works for me. Now I also need to figure out where they are going to be deployed at. Anyone want some giant stompy robot support?

I'm completely fine with you bringing your knight's back. You had some cool characters in there, I'd gladly welcome them back into the fold. And no, I'm not referring to Falkon, I like the knight pilots.

Thanks for the input those of you who pay enough attention to this thread to notice it.

Does anyone know the general plan for the giant air battle that we sent numbers in for? Is someone writing all of it or are we each writing part of it?

I dont think anything has been organised yet, and its not just a battle for the air

That wasn't the impression I got from Chazz. Unless there are a bunch of ground forces (besides the Tillers) that I missed on my way in

What battles are going on?

EDIT: And whatever happened to the Gargant, last I recall it's still alive?

I'm still working on the final piece, but yes, it did not fall from the Sharks.

I am paying attention I just don't know. I am still trying to figure where next for my regiment and work on the landing piece of my marines.

 Drakka77 wrote:

I don't know what's going on half the time either. Don't feel bad


And that's the hardest part, figuring out what to do next

I think that's just your 'Meh' personality.

Now that's just plain rude

With everything going on lately, I'm more worried about writing these pieces up, hope fully I can get something from the Tarellians/Tau/Necrons so I can move on to the Sharks/Guard and that short story I might post...

 War Kitten wrote:

Pfffft, if I wanted to be rude, you'd know it mate

My next piece will start just before the Cogger assault and show what happens during and after just so everyone knows

 War Kitten wrote:

It appears to be both.

The allied Tiller/Tau/Chaos alliance was making a surprise ground strike with aerial support. It so happens that Bob was making an attack run with his Scions at the same time, and chazz decided to throw in your aerial support too.

Aside from the air battle, the Imperial army on the ground is outnumbered 2-1 by similar quality troops, and being outflanked by half of them, plus being shelled by accurately guided seeker missiles and any acid bombs the Nurgle air support can drop.

Hmmm, I wouldn't call it an alliance smudge, we both just have similar interests, for now

And my Scions have begun a counter offensive with some success. Your missiles may suddenly find themselves with no markers.

And the blatant Xeno support will work in my favor, so it's all good. And the Nurgle air support isn't dropping anything till the dice is rolled (but I went pretty low so I'll probably lose it). Just like I am not fire bombing concentrations of Tillers

Oh joy. We're outnumbered and getting bombarded. Another glorious day in the Guard

A man after my own heart.

I doubt you'll kill the markers, considering they're not part of the main body, and out of the firing line.
Tillers died - no Pathfinders.

Who, I'll clarify, are not Sunstrike Cadre.

And the Nurgle air support isn't dropping anything till the dice is rolled (but I went pretty low so I'll probably lose it). Just like I am not fire bombing concentrations of Tillers

Again, comes down to aerial to give the ground troops a buff.

Although I'll be rather confused if the considerable 2:1 outflank advantage of the Tiller coalition is ignored.

Am I the only one who feels that the Battle of New Pavus should be decisive ?

 Irishpeacockz wrote:

I agree. Why shouldn't it be treated like Cogger was?

Also, is there/should there be a refractory period on attacking locations?
As in, so a losing army can't just attack again to retake the city straight after? I know that it happened with Cogger, but is it banned, or just not done out of courtesy?

It should be decisive, but it should also wait until I can get my next piece out

I think one of the good things that will come out of this is all the great looting opportunities I'll get

Oh. And would any of our fellow Imperials mind coming to help out?

 War Kitten wrote:

Not sure if you are actually serious but i think that is unfair. If any other imperial forces do arrive I think it should be after the battle, the imperium cant just throw multiple armies at any situation that arises, they can be caught off guard too.

I wasn't actually serious. Calm down.

I think the sharks are figuring out how tactically fall on the Gargant

It's been resolved via PM. It's all good now. Now I need to go dig in

Kharne please, those are obviously not my eyes.

Nice try though
