Damn, a close relative perhaps

Holy Crap, It's uncle Dave ! He really did stick to that diet !

Seriously though back on topic before the chaos gods of the forums bitch about us going off topic

Smudge: already got my victory rolled to eliminate sentries/markers and other trouble makers.

Also, it does not matter if the ships are Sunstrike's or not what matter is the clear xeno support.

That's gold.

Bob: Just wait until I drop them in.

Yeah. Bob is doing a pretty good job of securing the town. Now we just have to worry about the rest of the army that's going to be camping outside.

Like I said, just wait.

I hate it when you say this kind of thing Kharne.

You've no idea, I've been waiting for this opportunity

Are you going to ram a monolith into the town square or something like that?

You're kind of close

Regardless of what happens, I already have teams out to hunt targets. The one thing I am missing are my snipers, who are on their way

Why do I have a sneaking feeling this is going to be even more of a cluster feth than Cogger?

I'm trying really hard to avoid that.

I don't think it will. This seems to be cleaner.

From the way I see it's looking to be another Imperial victory

Ok then.

And my Eldar have finally redeployed

Again, and I hate to disappoint whatever you've been told, but there's no feasible way you could kill any of the four Pathfinders (who are not present on the battlefield).

If you can kill them, when they're not even at the battlefield, I don't know what to do but call shenanigans. I've not been told of this at all, nor have I had my Pathfinders in a situation they could be attacked.

I disagree it seems even right now. The Imperials were getting their asses kicked pretty hard not too long ago, their victories have been recent.

Oh... Ok. Can I roll to send in reinforcements?

I would hesitate to say it's even right now. I think that I'm losing the air battle.

 Kharne the Befriender wrote:

I'd say not. If the Imperials can't, nor can anyone else.

How can they mark things if they're not even there, doesn't make sense

And I won the air battle on my side, so I guess noone controls the skies

 War Kitten wrote:

The idea was my dudes would enter the city via the sewers and attack into the imperials flank, i aint sending a large army either. From my understanding this was supposed to be a suprise attack on a relatively weak city, i dont think a siege is accurate more of an assault

Ah. I see then.

 Bobthehero wrote:

I won my battle too, so the skies are contested between us ?

Yup, hence why I said that noone controls the skies

Does anyone know what I had in the sky battle or what i lost?

I'm kind of wondering that too.

Bob, I'll just say this again - I spoke to chazz about this. Even chazz doesn't know where that came from. Not to mention that if you HAD attacked my Pathfinders, I wasn't given a chance to roll against it.

I just want to know if I lost any Mantas

Regarding the sky battle, what I've seen is that Bob won against the Tau, and Irish won against the Guardsmen. They will roll off between eachother to see who wins, and then gets a bonus on the ground battle.

Regarding the Mantas, I've got no idea how Valkyries and Vendettas brought three Mantas to defeat, but I'm sure chazz will explain it.

I though we avoided using space ships.

And I thought we wanted to avoid any thing bigger than knights anyway. 3 Titan level flyers + 3-4 race allied together seems a bit much.


And regarding your Pathfinders, miscommunication, I'll stick with killing Tiller snipers, sentries and other things

Mantas aren't spaceships any more than Valkyries are.
They are orbit-to-ground vehicles, just that the Manta is bigger.

And no-one complained about my three Mantas. When I asked to bring them as part of my faction, no-one objected.

Also, so it's not okay to ally if you're not Imperial?
Okay.

I mean, I use the Mantas as troop transports rather than actual combat ships.

I meant the Tau/Tarellians/Necron mix which seems to outnumber almost any armies and then you add the three Mantas. I dunno, seems like far more power than anyone else brought and I though we agreed to limit ourselves.

While im not sure about the aircraft i think the races allying is fine, the reality being that the imperium whoch has what ? 7 or 8 ? Writers while the xenos have more i think but it aint xenos vs imperium. The xenos are fractured apart from a few uneasy alliances while the imperium is generally united no matter what. So i think it is fine to ally and it is fine to launch attacks such as these, the imperium hasn't lost much if anything at all and it would be nice for the tillers to gain momentum and not be reduced to a punching bag, wheres the fun in that ? As i said in the beginning however through in the titan level aircraft (which i dont know if they are) and you probably have a point

I wasn't talking about player alliances

Fair enough, things are getting heated here so lets wait until all the rolls are in.

As for the pathfinders they are smudges dude which have plot armor ie vandred so it's understandable why you cant killed them bob, maybe you could disrupt them ? But you cant kill them.

That's already been sorted Irish, but thanks anyways.

Double Post

Regular units can have plot armor now? Ah...

I'm just waiting to hear what I need to do for the ground battle. Good thing I packed flamers

 Bobthehero wrote:

Apparently it hasnt been sorted then.

Yeah, I'm not seeing a massive problem with multiple races.
I mean, it wasn't even brought up as a problem until now, and it's hardly fluff breaking or over powered.

Hell, my army has three different races (Tau, Human, a few assorted other xenos auxiliaries)

 Bobthehero wrote:

What are you implying?

And as far as the Mantas go, I sent them as transports, I wasn't aware they would be in the thick of the fight.

It's the mix of all things, WK had knights, but his non IK was tiny, I have 200 in mind, but I might be wrong.

For the record I brought 2500 Scions, but their biggest vehicles are Tauroxes Prime and Valkyrie sized crafts. If I had brought a bunch of Titans, my army would've much smaller.

Like I said, my Mantas are designed for transport, which means they have less weapons than normal, which could help explain why you may have taken one or two out in the air battle.

I dont even know what the problem is, the imperium was attacked by a strong force by suprise.

If they are beaten it would be something to rally the imperium together to erase this new threat.

Reality is its 3v2 so the odds are bound to be against the imperials on this one, but you never know with dice rolls.

My Guard are a few thousand strong (I think 3-4, but I'm still working on the numbers).

I have 4 Knights (plus a few armsmen)

I have no idea how big an Eldar strike force is

I'd say an Eldar Strike force would number around a couple hundred maybe?

Bobthehero wrote:Regular units can have plot armor now? Ah...

With all due respect to Irish, I think that's incorrect.
No regular unit, unless it's specially named and might have reason to be elite, should have plot armour. But hey, I'm not the GM, so I could be wrong.

These are just Troop transports. They happen to be Mantas.

And again, no-one has complained about my Mantas.

I guess it's just more miscommunication, alright that's settled, I'll drop it

Regarding the Mantas, it's more of a '' those guys had titan class flyers all along, SUPRISE '' reaction than anything else

If it helps Bob, my Mantas don't have the big rail guns

I think their big guns are too unwieldy to threaten Valkyries, it's everything else thats a problem

Prepare to be drowned by Tau BB guns

I admit that normal joe soap cant have plot armor, i was referring to vandred and co.

As bob said twas a miscommunication

Vandred and Co will be hindered, for sure, I have his face after all.

 Bobthehero wrote:

You have Vandred's face, not his compatriots. Vandred's face is only useful if you can find him, and especially under the facemask he's wearing again.

The only advantage that gives you is if Vandred is ever seen without his mask on and he's in a place he shouldn't be - ie, another Imperial city. That's not a massive hinderance in an active warzone like New Pavus.

I have pics of the face mask too, I am pretty sure.

Who's Vandred again?

Bobthehero wrote:I have pics of the face mask too, I am pretty sure.

It's a scrap of cloth covering his face. How does that help in a warzone? Plus anyone covering their face in a cloth is suspicious, face or not.

Kharne the Befriender wrote:Who's Vandred again?

The Sub-Commander of Sunstrike Cadre, who is currently leading the small Tau force in New Pavus.

I though it was something more distinctive, I see so they only good thing I got out that near draw is pretty useless in the end

 Bobthehero wrote:

You got what it said - his face is recognisable now. If his face is seen, he is spotted.

He now can't show his face in any Imperial City. He can't remove his mask whilst being linked to Sunstrike Cadre.

So what are your Sharks up to Kharne? My Eldar have moved once more

 War Kitten wrote:

Currently they're trying to take down the gargant. Then the hunt begins

Little do you know Kharne but I'm right under your main base, such is my sneakiness.

Hopefully the Gargant stuff is resolved soon

Gak....

So I'm going to try and sum up what's happening in New Pavus, partially for my own reference.

Irish and Kharne have launched air raids on the city. Irish beat my flyers, and Bob defeated Kharne's.

Irish, Smudge, and assorted NPC Tillers are attacking the city (but not necessarily together). Irish and Smudge are being super sneaky with their attacks.

Kharne is probably going to ram something big into the city

I am attacking with missiles and what not

So you are or are not ramming something into the town?

Missiles kinda ram things, and then explode...

Very true Palleus. Very true.

But knowing Kharne he has an infinite supply of Ram Scythes under a rock somewhere

If you can call the Megalith a rock

I forgot about that thing. It's gonna be a real pain to take down when the time comes

Unless you roll well

The heaviest weapons I have are missile launchers (not counting the Vendetta mounted stuff). It'll be like flinging water balloons at a battleship

Just don't throw it into the exhaust por-.... I've said too much

Just as planned.
*laughs in Eldar*

My vehicles repair themselves

*Eternally laughs in Necron*

Dang he's good.

In all seriousness, that's probably what my Eldar are doing next. Hunting for some 'Crons

Isn't that why there here?

And I think that would actually be pretty cool

It is actually. I got caught up in Cogger but now I'm returning to my original mission

Noice, I'm going to read some more of 'World Engine'

Then I'll get that Taurellian bit out.

I need to get a number sent in for my Eldar, then I'm going to paint some Guardians and contemplate building a House Valorn Knight

That would be cool. I'd post what my Necrons look like but i already have a thread for that.

I don't want to subject people to the horror of my painting, but this is getting off topic.

It's going to be awkward if your Marines run into your 'Crons while chasing my Eldar

I think Vanden needs another pint

I'ma just leave this conversation before TS jumps in and tuts us all.

Quite the idea

I'm going to get my first number sent in for my Eldar tomorrow. Then the 'Cron hunt will begin

I've submitted my first number for my Eldar. After that's resolved and written up I'm going to work on my Knights

What did you roll for?

To track you down you sneaky git. It didn't work, even the GM has no clue where you are

I can't believe my pet has grown so much lol.

RighteousRob, I remember the name well as i keenly read your opening post to CoF having no idea what i had stumbled across, a magical moment to be sure.

Or WK's ego.

Yeah,but it's also the topography.

I'm underneath a mountain with very few ways in, on an island with extremely dense fauna and roving Orks to the south.

The only way to really find me is to follow a ship returning or spend an insane amount of time looking for the area where my troops initially landed, which is to the south.

I picked a good spot, but don't worry, I'll rear my head around soon enough, then you'll all know where I am.

He's making my job very difficult.

I'll get a Knight number sent in soon. Not worth writing up that my Eldar found jack squat

Got my Knights (re)introduction up

Good to see Valorn back in action, WK, nice post

We can only hope that the Flayed Legion follows suit, eh EoN?

Also, nice intro II WK.

Someone needs to write about walking by a cliff and seeing a man shaped impression in the cliff wall.

Feel free Kharne. Then I'll kick you into the cliff again

Assuming you get past the myriad of Ram-Scythes... which are in sore need of renaming.

These are the most Orky Necrons I've ever seen

You've no idea, on another note, I'm making headway on my next post, should have it up soon.

Guys, for the love of God, don't make me regret asking to have this put back in Dakka fiction by making three word posts. -_-

Right then. Back on topic. Are you still planning on bringing in your EC at some point BC?

Yeah, I just need totalk to Smudge because they have a Tau, so it would make sense to put her somewhere he can reclaim her.

This Crusade could use a little more Chaos I feel. I'm hoping that EoN will be able to bring in his CSM

Agreed, did anyone take over Gore's people?

Ezra's idea was to have them join him as they both worship Khorne maybe a battle for leadership or something like that but we didnt really have a chance to discuss it and im not sure if Gore even likes said idea anyway

I can ask him if you want. I forget that Ezra still has people on one of the poles.

that'd be nice, i mean it would be the only way id imagine of any of his forces surviving tbh as no one is prepared to inherit a third faction in me and Ezra's case so a merge makes sense in my opinion

*whistles awkwardly at the realization that he has 3 factions*

Nice blurb Irish

thanks WK i wrote it so Garathal doesn't just appear at New Pavus out of nowhere and I also hint at other things

Just called Gore, he likes the merger idea. He did say that Ziinek would have to be killed off ad the cultists would be less willing to fight.

Mind you, they are all poorly trained and equipped.

Nice writing as well.

Can't wait to see the Chem Dog vs Nurgley Dudes fight.

And now I need to decide what my Knights will do. My Guard are defending New Pavus and my Eldar are searching for the Necrons

Aren't there some orks that need there arse kicked ? (totally not trying to direct you away from me at all)

Your chem dogs might be the biggest pain in the ass for Garathal to fight. Thanks Kharne if Ezra replies to my pms i'll let him know Gire's game for the merge

Is it because they don't fear death because they're so hyped up on chems?

And besides the ferals we (meaning the Imperials) aren't aware of the Orks

Oi, Irish. I need my Praetorians back. If you wouldn't mind inserting it in your next piece.

You can have the rest of my Necrons though, feel free to Nurglify them, I'll see about Necroning your Beastmen as well.

are they the ones who fled Cogger ? if so take them i dont really wanna write about Ezra's forces arrival to the swamp until i talk it through with him which may be a while.

 Irishpeacockz wrote:

Sounds perfect, If I get my piece out first I'll have Numek call them back, this will leave you ~50 Necrons to have fun with.

I trust the dampness of the swamp wont affect them ?

They might be a little slower but I don't think they have to worry about the environment to much. I should have Numek get in touch with Garathal shouldn't I?

I suppose you should, how would that happen ?

Well, Numek could just have the Praetorian Prime create a hologram

So when are we going to need to roll for the ground battle at New Pavus?

Patience young one. Chazz/Tactical_Troll will tell us.

Speaking of the Dank Lord, I haven't seen him online much in a while.

I may be able to help with the chaotic side of things if things calm down in here in the far north. If I am wanted/ welcomed that is then

Sorry for the inactivity, haven't had a lot of time/energy to write much these days. I was going to send Kharne a PM to get the intel about Gore's dudes, but I was putting it off a bit as I didn't have any ideas for a new piece

Many thanks, I shall see if I can find the time to cobble togetter something in the comming week or so. And many thanks for saying that

There's no rush to get anything written. This is the kind of place where you can write at your own pace

I would like to point some things out here about the Pavus battle. A manta cost 2000 points in a 40k game an Imperial Knight cost 350-450 points so when I here that one side has 3 mantas and the other has valkyries and vendettas thats not really a fair fight.

I have 4 Knights on the moon, but they don't know that's going on.

You're right though that us Imperials seem to be lacking super heavies this time around (so far as I know)

It isn't supposed to be a fair fight, we are trying to ambush the imperials and try to catch them off guard. Since when are all battles supposed to be fair ?

I thought I read some one say it was suppose to be an even fight, I am just pointing this out from a readers perspective when someone say 3 mantas thats enough transport capacity for 3 Hunter Contingents. My entire force is like 1.5!

Go blame Kharne for that. He's apparently got Mantas out the wazoo. Irish has a bunch of Plague Drones (I think), and whatever ground gribblies he's raiding us with

Slight modifications can fix that unless they seriously dedicated that much to the fight if so you guys have a lot to deal with!

Good Luck with 3 Lords of Wars!

I'm pretty much an infantry regiment with a few Vendettas. I didn't stand much of a chance in an air war. Irish bested my air power pretty handily. Bob is doing just fine in the air (he's the one who beat Kharne and his Mantas)

My Guard have several Baneblades and a few Deathstrike Missle Batteries. And Hydra's, so have fun flying anywhere near me.

I voiced the same concerns, but Kharne's Mantas have less weaponry in favor of more transport capacities.

And who needs firepower anyway? I was able to deep strike Scions on a Manta once, and by the Emperor dessicated balls, I'll do it again.

That's just Raid with a lighter.

You laugh. But it works!

Too bad I couldn't mount some on my Vendettas, I might still have some aid power if I could have

Mate, I know. It's what I use to flame moths out of the air and off my walls.

This is really cruel, and twisted, but it's funny seeing a flaming moth fall out of the air.

I just hope I have enough Raid, or at least enough so that my ground forces aren't completely outclassed

Vendettas can have incendiary missiles. That's what I planned to use to destroy Tiller camps. Then everyone showed up.

And then WW3 broke out at New Pavus. Aren't you glad I brought the whole gang with me Bob?

Quite, although its quite annoying that I wasn't able to counter roll for the whole thing and when I finally did, this went off.

I just feel bad that the EXACT instant I show up that everything kicks off

You lads need reinforcements? Or it the battle gone?

Yeah, to me its mostly because the airstrike that got cancelled out was meant to be a good blow on Tillers, and I would've rolled for it (along with other things) a good 3 weeks ago if I had access to a computer where I was. Now because of the delay, other players stepped in before I could do much in New Pavus.

Hopefully we can hold them off so we can actually do something in New Pavus

War Kitten wrote:Ok then. Don't trip over the Ram Scythes while you're around

They won't be tripping my friend

If I may just reply to some points:

Yes, the Manta's may outnumber in points, but we aren't using any here. Not all fights are even, and it just so happens that the Tiller coalition was planning an overwhelming strike to take New Pavus. The whole point was to take as many forces as either army could spare, and outnumber the enemy, because as siege warfare states, you really do need to outnumber your enemy. It just so happens that we have also outflanked them, which would make defending even harder.


This happened to coincide with the Salvar Regiments arriving, and the Scions launching an attack. So Bob, much as you're peeved about not getting to counter roll, our entire invasion force has been forced to intercept your Valks. Not to mention that I had to stop rolling and slow down my own attacks because you couldn't post. If I had, this invasion would have happened far sooner. A fair trade I would say.

WK - not to sound rude, but you're saying about hopefully actually doing something in New Pavus - this is the ONLY major thing the Tillers have accomplished in the entire Crusade. It's not as if you've been trying to take this place from the ground up for about a month OOC. This is the first time the Tillers have really fought back, so any comments you have on "actually wanting to do something" we share too. Sorry if that comes across badly, just trying to give you an idea of our situation too.

You made what... three rolls, after you showed up in New Pavus? I made none, that's why I asked that you slow down a bit. I would've made my counter rolls roughly in the same time as yours, the situation would've been very different.

And I though you were playing Sunstrike, not the Tillers.

So uhh...This hasn't answered my question of whether you lads need assistance, or if New Pavus is fethed royally...

P.S. Enough of the salt guys, we've had WAYYYYYYYY too much of it lately. Let's just all PLEASE get fething along for a week without snapping at each other.

Agreed.

Also, my Remnants can always use some reinforcements, Sgt. Vanden, why don't you come on over to the north pole and we'll fill out the paperwork for you

You had me at Rem.

Now, do I sign up to become a chaosee, THEN hang myself for using a anime meme, or just hang myself...

I dont play the Tiller's either yet one or two of my characters are involved with them, it is so bad that both me and smudge wanna make the Tiller's at least somewhat dangerous ? Because at the moment they are somewhat laughable

 Sgt. Vanden wrote:

Well, at time of assault, it was Tillers, Prin'shek, and Disciples assaulting PDF, Scions, and Salvar - I would say that it should just be those factions, seeing as the attack hasn't even been resolved yet.

P.S. Enough of the salt guys, we've had WAYYYYYYYY too much of it lately. Let's just all PLEASE get fething along for a week without snapping at each other.

I do apologise on my end, but the Tiller end of what was meant to be a surprise assault has been nerfed heavily, in one way or another: I do hope that it's not just the Tiller coalition who see this. At the end of the day, I just want a fair resolution.

 Sgt_Smudge wrote:
If I may just reply to some points:

Yes, the Manta's may outnumber in points, but we aren't using any here. Not all fights are even, and it just so happens that the Tiller coalition was planning an overwhelming strike to take New Pavus. The whole point was to take as many forces as either army could spare, and outnumber the enemy, because as siege warfare states, you really do need to outnumber your enemy. It just so happens that we have also outflanked them, which would make defending even harder.


This happened to coincide with the Salvar Regiments arriving, and the Scions launching an attack. So Bob, much as you're peeved about not getting to counter roll, our entire invasion force has been forced to intercept your Valks. Not to mention that I had to stop rolling and slow down my own attacks because you couldn't post. If I had, this invasion would have happened far sooner. A fair trade I would say.

WK - not to sound rude, but you're saying about hopefully actually doing something in New Pavus - this is the ONLY major thing the Tillers have accomplished in the entire Crusade. It's not as if you've been trying to take this place from the ground up for about a month OOC. This is the first time the Tillers have really fought back, so any comments you have on "actually wanting to do something" we share too.

On topic though, would anyone detest to me having a bio-furnace?

Yes. Yesyesyesyesyes. I cannot say yes more. I attest. I refuse. I shall not falter. I do not concur.

What else is there to say?

...

I need to start typing for my Guard...

As soon as I can finish this research paper I'll finish up my Tarellian piece.

Vanden, do you even know what I'm talking about?

Zero clue, I just don't like the sound of having a bio-forge. It makes me think you're going to be necrofying every ally of yours.

Preposterous Vanden.


So, would anyone mind if I threw a group event after the New Pavus situation ends? I got the ok from Chazz, just wanted to see what you people think

Is it Imperial or Chaosy? I'm all for the former, and less so for the latter.

 Kharne the Befriender wrote:

I think a group event is needed. We'll resolve NP and see where that takes us.

I think as few alliances as possible would be pretty good, IMHO.

Well, it would be for anyone who wants to participate really. So here's the scenario:

The Megalith takes off, but in order for it to do so it has to power itself up which will cause a massive energy reading that anyone can pick up.

So the Megalith will begin to bring it's systems online and what not. This will provide sufficient time for anyone who wants to participate to get involved.

I'm still deciding whether or not I want the Megalith to attack or try to leave the system and rejoin the main fleet.

Sounds simple, but I have many surprises waiting for anyone who wants to say hi

EDIT: Smudge, this would be the perfect chance for alliances to deteriorate, whether by betrayal or elimination. This makes one hell of a distraction.

Oh cool, something for my Knights and Eldar to do. But can we resolve New Pavus first? My Guard are a tad busy

He specifically said after NP was finished. You should really read peoples posts more, skipping important things seems to be something you do well, hehe

This will be after New Pavus, not directly after because I have to set things up.

Sounds great Kharne! An event is certainly needed!

Sure Kharne Garathal would probably either show up or instead send someone in his place.

The Emperor's Hounds will be preoccupied whenever the Dreadmob is wrapped up

Ezra don't get any ideas please ...

Sounds like this is going to be good.

Irish, So I'm thinking that Numek (via the Praetorian Prime) and Garathal, and maybe Ezra's guys too, have a meeting where Numek will let them know of this plan.

After all, it is a fortress

sounds good, if you could pop over and blow Dorn's Shield to smithereens that'd be great

Perhaps that could be the target? We'll discuss this further in PM

Well feth. NOW I have to mobilize my fething tanks. You have any idea how hard they are to transport?!
...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---

I can take care of that for you, all you have to do is leave them out in the open for ramming pick-up

What is so good about Dorn's Shield anyway ? Just gonna be the first of many imperial fortifications to fall to papa nurgle

Oh, well bye then? Who's gonna pay the other half of the rent?

Anyway, would anyone, when the time comes, want to see a design of the Megalith so you know where things are and how to describe/kill it?

In my defense this time I'm doing my reading assignments for two of my classes at the same time. I was a bit distracted

We might need to update the roster soon. We haven't heard from our resident Harlequin players in quite a while

We haven't heard from many writers actually

Real life must of hit them like a Ram Scythe

Well, it is the beginning of school for a lot of people, makes sense.

I know, but we haven't heard from people like Robin or TGK in a long while

Cause they might be busy with school. Depending on their year level and country, school gets really fething hard at this time. I remember my last year of VCE...

fething non-stop exams and essays, A few breaks here and there, which I would use as an excuse to play games, stupid relationships that would never work out, and many, many more things.

True enough. I'm just used to (as an American) having 3-4 months off between May and August (I think Germans like EoN have a different school schedule than I'm used to)

I'm pretty sure it's the 2 week break every 3 or so months like Aussies do.

End of Term of Service with the military. Its a involved process.

Oh, I see. Well good luck with that.

I'm sort of in a limbo state at the moment. My Guard are stuck in New Pavus waiting to see who takes the air, my Eldar are futilely searching for Kharne and hiding from the Space Sharks, and my Knights are just clueless. Normal Thursday for me

Pro-tip WK, follow the Taurellians back to the base.

You know, I would do that, but I botched the roll pretty badly. I found Waldo though

Well you could follow the Tau back to the Tau base, then be like, 'oh look, yngir...'

Dont mind me, im just waiting on a pm to see if I can tame Godzilla

No, the 'Iron King' it was EoN's captain called Kageros when they met earlier on.

Actually I'm dropping a lot of my force numbers wise, I've killed off (voluntarily) 583 Tarellians, I'm about to lower the number of Tau I have, and probably destroy my big mother ship.

Fear not TS, I have self controlled ramming devices...

Oh dear lord he's about to nuke me

Sigged and Exalted, I believe you've summed up my faction

Irish, with new pavus still in the air, do you think my scions attacks against your swamp people should be held off till the city situation is resolved, or is there really much crossover?

If your Scions want to shoot the crap out of Irish's swamp people, you're getting help. My Guard need revengance for them trying to attack their crib.

Also sigged that line. Too good.

 Palleus wrote:

Depends, if its just some outpost or another mine go for it.

If you wanna attack the cathedral itself I ask that you wait until after my next piece which will probably be out before new Pavus is resolved (just need to get the roll results from chazz)

Ok. I'll wait. Not sure if I'll find the cathedral with my next roll, but in case my guys get lucky, I'll hold off.

Ok, so Ram-Scythes are now officially known as Phase Scythes. I'm also about half way through my piece, expect it soon.

Should be Faze Scythes imo.

Faze Clan Scythes? With their aimbots and whatnot?

Generally speaking, has anyone heard from chazz at all in the past week? Nothing really seems to be happening.

I'm waiting to hear what's happening with New Pavus before I make some some rolls for my Guard. Kharne had an idea for his 'Crons so my Eldar are waiting on that.

What idea was that? I honestly forgot

EDIT: I remember now, I'll have it in the next piece

Ok I got the rolls for both Bob and Smudge Tiller vs Imperial on New Pavus.

As an extra safe guard against player favoritism I will have TS randomly generate the number. He will have no knowledge of what number each player chose.

I'm not worried about favoritism, but I do like the idea

This is probably a stupid question, but will things like regimental combat style or preferred weapons apply in the ground battle? (My guys have lots of Flamers for example). I think I know already, but for claritys sake I'm asking

I would think so, I think that would make the piece fluffier and less cookie cutter if that makes sense.

EDIT:

Blurb is out, hope you all enjoy, sorry if it's a bit long.

But you all should start prepping for the Megalith if you can, people know (via the energy signals), where I'm at, or at least where something is at.

Enjoy

Nice blurb Kharne.

And I asked because my guys are good in close quarters (which a city fight most assuredly is)

Thanks, expect to see them in combat soon...

I like Ezra the most just to get that out of the way.

Can I also get a TL;DR of what's happening? Is Bob trying to assassinate the Tillers?

Well. My Guard arrived in New Pavus, Irish is launching a raid on the city, and there just happens to be a Tau backed Tiller army attacking as well

I am also writting a blurb about preparation and killing a bunch of Tillers.

The TL;DR is basically that the Tillers and Imperials control half of the city each, and after a series of Tiller strikes, the Imperials were about to launch an aerial one. At the same time, the Tillers launched a massed attack with ground and aerial forces, calling upon allies to take the city. This battle is pretty much the culmination of the NP campaign, with the winner taking the city back from the rebel scum, or the tyrannical Imperium.

Might wanna pm that in case This gets lost in the flood of gak that is the Crusade Of Fury

Okay, I can whip up a chart of some kind in a few days, if you liked, but I can give you a basic overview of what I know thus far.

Imperials are all allied to eachother.
Imperials have hired help, in the form of Ta'lok's Kroot.
Ta'lok's Kroot have a covert low-key alliance with Sunstrike Cadre.
Sunstrike Cadre is allied with Waaagh! Hannibal.
Sunstrike Cadre is allied with both Imperials (secretly, out of protection) and Tillers (secretly, out of honour)
Tillers are allied to Garathal's Disciples of Decay.
Tillers/Sunstrike are allied to Prin'shek Cadre, and thus Kageros Dynasty.
Kageros Dynasty is allied to the Flayed Legion.
The Flayed Legion are allied to the Black Legion Warband, and *I think* Remnants? Remnants and Black Legion do not get on.

So, technically, everyone is allied down along the line, but the only real connection between Imperials and their enemies is created by Sunstrike, who are engaging in a shadow war against them. Eldar, Harlequins, Tyranids, Waaagh! Warprida, and the Remnants (if not included above) are all isolated from alliances generally - however, the Eldar and Harlequins are allied.

Just to clarify a few things, The Disciples of Decay are also allied to The bkack legion and the flayed legion (Chaos super friends) along with kharnes necrons. I dont think the flayed legion has had any interaction with the remnants but i could be wrong. And Garathal has infiltrated the tillers not allied with them but i can see for simplicity's sake why you worded it that way

Ooh, yes, many apologies - I neglected to mention the whole Chaos Super Friends Alliance (which is pretty much each Chaos affiliated faction, being the Disciples, Flayed Legion and Black Legion, excluding the Remnants).

Kageros Dynasty are allied to both the SuperFriends and the Tillers/Sunstrike (mostly Sunstrike, and mostly out of opportunity)

The Disciples are, as you said, not truly allied to the Tillers (I don't think many of the SuperFriends are), but are subverting them and using them as a means to an end. Unbeknownst to the Tillers, of course.
