"Milord," began the communications officer, "Lord Darkhound and his band of Red Corsairs request our presence in the Gamma Theater."

"His reasoning?" inquired the venerable Astartes, his fingers tapping at the railing.

"He wishes to prepare for an assault on the Imperial Guard."

"Very well. Send the message, the Night Lords answer his call."

Did BrotherStynier blast Epsilon away?

So it would seem, must have gotten my Dooms Day device to work.

Farseer Danu Smirked at the folly of the mon-kiegh. She did not need her powers of precognition to see such an attack would come. Many centuries of life has taught the Eldar that the mon-kiegh do not have the discipline to resist Chaos.

Now Danu's divinative abilities had shown that the new and very unknown leader of the Cadians was nothing more than a shadow puppet of the Nightlords general. The path shown to her was one that had shown the necessity for the Biel-Tan people be in position to be attacked in order to reveal this alliance. Danu chuckled at the thought of what was going to happen when the Orks realized that they were being set up.

Extending her consciousness out through the Craftworlds infinity circiut she calmly thought, "Lugh, you may begin". Immediately the fleet sprang into action.

Biel-Tan Attacks the Cadians(1), moves to Epsilon and reinforces (1).

High Lord Nicholai grated his teeth. If the Biel-Tan seer spoke true, then Cadia was lost to Chaos, and with it, all hope of holding the Eye of Terror. He watched through the broken windows of the Bastonne Cathedral as the drop ships sped away into orbit.

"Milord?" Ivan Petrik, his aide-de-campe, approached him. "The shuttle is ready. We await only your word."

Nicholai was lost in thought. For so many millenia the Cadians had struggled against the denziens of Chaos. Years of blood and toil and a never ceasing struggle. So many accolades, honours, yet in so short a time it meant nothing. What did it matter if Cadia had struggle against Chaos for thousands of years? Honours meant nothing if they had fallen now.

"Milord?" Ivan's voice shook him out of his trance.

He stood, wrapping his cloak around him and made his way across the hall. "Let us go, Ivan." He paused at the gates, giving statue of St. Vincent one last glance. "There is nothing left for us here."

Vostroya moves to Epsilion. Here they stand, here they die.

JohnHwangDD now controls Hive Fleet Kraken.

OOC: EF I doubt its the entirety of Cadia, just the one Regiment that has fallen. Like how I'm not the entirety of the Night Lords, and how I mentioned killing the Saim-Hann strike force.

With no word yet received from the Red Corsairs and the Ulthwe having fled the Eye of Terror the Captain was growing impatient, the Sorcerer had spoken of Armageddon, so to there they would go. Perhaps the Orks would have better luck hunting the Eldar.

They are the only representative of Cadia, and they have fallen to chaos. Therefore, Cadia has fallen. Just as you are the only representative of the Night Lords, therefore you represent the entirety of the Night Lords. I am the only representative of Vostroya, therefore, I represent the entirety of Vostroyan forces. focusedfire is the only representative of Biel-Tan, therefore he represents the entirety of the Biel-Tan Craftworld.

Hi all!

Going through the moves, it looks like Kraken has already moved this turn, so I'll pick up as of 12:01am July 4th.

12:00 AM for me.

For running this off like a story with a sequel game this doesn't make sense.

Each player does NOT represent all of his faction. Saim Hann is not eradicated from the universe. It's craftworld is not lost in flames. Each player commands a regiment (or its equivalent) of the choosen sub-faction. Therefore, EF commands the XXth Vostroyans or whatever. I didn't want four different numbered regiments of Death Korps in one game, however, so I limited the faction choices more broadly.

I thought EF was just trolling stynier..

Not like EF to troll.

I simply wanted to post it at 12:00... I posted it at 12:01.

Damnit.

12 would technically be illegal.

Aww. I'd figured this was on an Galactic scale, where the Imperium is getting it's ass handed to it by Chaos and Orks. Otherwise Regiments and SM betraying each other would make no sense. Oh well.

His fists clenched tightly around the command rail, again the Ulthwe had eluded them they were always one step behind, he took solace in the fact that sooner or later they would get their comeuppance. Word had arrived with the Blood Axes though, a Vostroyan Regiment had arrived at Armageddon.

Lelldorin approached Danu in a rushed quiet walk. As he approached, Danu held up a hand and said,"Tell them we will be there, but that there we must strike at our enemy along the way.". Turning her back while sending the thought, "Go, send the message now" Danu went back to conferring with the savages at this com station and indicating that he should use the one in the Wae room. On his way out he heard her say in a very diplomatic tone,"Now is the best time, they are weakened while you are strong. You ca..." as he walked out of hearing.

Smiling with pride over her warriors success, Danu sent her thoughts out toward to her warriors as they returned from the mission. The thoughts said,"Well done my kin, you have shown these corrupted mon-kiegh that Eldar do not feel fear but cause it." "Let us continue to the next fight."

Squats..

Shamanos kicked a corpse across the bridge.
"How can you be dead!." He roared in frustration. The explosion had been minimal, surely the mortals should have survived it.
"Weaklings!"
In moments new mortals manned the consoles. Their overseer cracked his whip at a ditherer before bowing to Shamanos.
One of the new crew spoke, his predecessor in a crumpled heap at his feet "E-E-Eldar fleet... Belltan.. has retreated to the Eye. What are your orders Lord?"
The Slaughter Lord considered this. His hatred and rage demanded to attack, but the eldar vermin had allied with the cockroaches, together they waited in the Eye, hoping that in his blood lust he would follow them and be crippled.
"We will wait." He decided.

"Milord!" Ivan brushed passed those on duty in the command center. "The Eldar Xenos have sent word. They will join us, but they have enemies outside of the system to deal with first. They should arrive in roughly two to three cycles."

Nicholai nodded. "Good. They will be welcome." The bunker shook as a missile struck somewhere above. Either a crude ork projectile or the sleeker, but no less devious, weapons that the heretics wielded. Nicholai hoped the Eldar held to their word. This was a battle that he was beggining to doubt the Vostroyans could win on their own.

Despite its immense size, the black-hulled Void Stalker Tear of Isha glided nimbly away from the listing wrecks of the enemy fleet. Warp-drunk mon'keigh called these evil vessels Infidel Class Raiders. To Farseer Ghreivan, who had just seen to their destruction, they were no more or less than a single strand each. Just a single strand among countless others, all woven through a much larger pattern . . . Ghreivan could almost see these numberless, ethereal threads of fate as he gazed out into the void.

"Your skills are formidable," the Autarch of Tear of Isha admitted. His melodious voice betrayed little of the reluctance lacing this confession. "We sustained no damage. The mon'keigh could not even manage to return fire."

Ghreivan did not turn from the starry voidscape toward the warrior. His gaze moved slowly over the ruins of once-mighty Iyanden. Only a small part of the ancient Farseer's waking mind had heard the Autarch's circumspect compliment. The rest of his thoughts followed the threads of fate, probing through time and space, groping for the shape of this part of the pattern. What strands bound Iyanden to great Ulthwe?

Farseer Ghreivan inhaled deeply, letting his consciousness coil slowly back into the confines of his physical body. He held the breath for a long moment as he turned to face the Autarch.

"My vision is clearing," he exhalded in a harsh whisper. "I am assuming command. Make course through the Webway for the Eye. Ulthwe will have need of us soon."

The living wraithbone of the command deck aboard Tear of Isha was as deeply dark and lustrous as volcanic glass. Every surface dimly reflected the glittering stars of the Void without, mingling amid the sharper but lesser glints of Spirit Stones adorning ornate robes. These precious stones, mused Farseer Ghreivan, reflected other stars—the glittering stars of the Void within.

The ancient Farseer stood encircled by his meditating Seer Council. He slowly turned on his heel, looking into their faces one by one. Most of their eyes were closed, peering deep within themselves and so also far across time and space.

“We are upon the Eye,” a helmseer reported. “Shall I make for Home?”

A near-unimaginable distance yet lay between the Tear and her Craftworld but a mellow tone of hope rang in the helmseer’s voice nonetheless. Ghreivan did not share that longing, at least not exactly. To the sightless vision of his art, whereby he could perceive the soulfire captured in Spirit Stones, the Infinity Circuit of beloved Ulthwe blazed brighter than the galactic core.

“Commence long-range sensor sweeps,” the Autarch commanded, ignoring his Exarch’s appeal.

“Thorns prick at my mind,” a Warlock half-sang from behind Ghreivan. The Farseer smiled briefly. Melnibh was his most promising student and he relied upon her more and more.

“Confirm presence of the Swordwind, helmseer,” Ghreivan nearly whispered. And then to the favored Warlock: “Your coordinates were exactly accurate, Melnibh.”

“A sister fleet is present,” the helmseer responded immediately. “Two Eclipse cruisers escorting a Shadow. They bear the runes of Biel-Tan. They are closing in on a target but I cannot read it clearly.”

“Move to join their attack pattern,” ordered the Autarch.

“Correct, noble Autarch,” the Farseer remarked. He turned to his apprentice. “Melnibh. Tell me what else can you sense here, so near to our Home?”

“I feel its . . . absence . . . like a gaping hunger--” She broke off, her violet eyes flying open. “Farseer, the Devourer!”

The Autarch blanched and immediately turned to his weaponseers.

“Reserve power to the Tear’s pulsar lances! Ulthwe will not join Iyanden in the Songs of Sorrow!”

Hmmm . . . alright. Well, I guess that you will be taking Ulthwe back as of tomorrow.

"Autarch! Biel-Tan has broken off its attack run," the helmseer shrieked.

"What?" Ghreivan started, spinning around.

"They are entering the Webway now," the helmseer continued.

The Farseer hung his head and turned to face the Voidscape. Melnibh joined her mentor, her eyes focusing on her own reflection in the crystalline wraithbone of the viewing port rather than seeking further out to glare at their fleeing kin.

"They are fools," she hissed. "The Rebirth of Ancient Days, indeed." She sensed Ghreivan's disappointment, heavy as the tread of a Wraithlord.

"My vision remains clouded after all . . ."

"No," the Autarch insisted. "It is not your vision that is clouded, noble Farseer. Continue our approach and stand ready to enter the Webway after completing the attack."

Err. Alright!

"Danu" Lugh both yelled and mentally shouted. "Communications are going crazy."
The Farseer stood up suddenly as she sensed a change. She had been meditating in the crystal dome, psychically leading her warriors on the precision strike but this had left her isolated and unable to handle any communications other than those pertaining to the strike. The Strike had just been completed successfully and was coming out of her trance when she heard Lugh.Danu moved to where she was a bit more isolated and asked"What is happening?".
This time Lelldorin replied," We are receiving messages from two commanders claing that they each speak for Ulthwe." "They one has been asking for us to call off our arracks and the other is declaring that we ignore these messages because they are the new leaders of the Ulthwe War Host."
Danu stood for a moment with a pensive look upon her face before ordering, "Halt all operations and withdraw to the Eye of Terror. We WILL get this sorted out".

Upon arriving at the Eye of Terror, Danu was truly suprised for the first time in a century and uttered "What in the **** is going on?".........

@Manchu- do you want to adjust your post to today or do you want me to incorporate your post into my first of the day one?

@manchu: If IS is back, and you're handing back Ulthwe, then undo both moves, and let him make the move??

@ff: did you miss a move? Where are Red Corsairs?

I made the move before I saw he was back. Unfortunately, KK did not indicate exactly how long I_S would be on "vacation" and I assumed I would be running Ulthwe for some time and maybe until the end of Game One or Ulthwe's demise at least. It is only fair, therefore, that the move I made for 07 July stand. Sorry, John. I will think of these sorts of situations when planning for Game Two.

Nicholai frowned as he read the dispatches, what were the Eldar xenos up to? Their foul manipulative ways were begginging to frustrate him, but he had no choice but to hope they continued to be true to their word. He would make for Ultramar. It was time to face an enemy that he could meet head on in the field, something to take his frustration out on.

Kaptin Dragnatz paced impatiently up and down oil-stained bomb-bay of the aircraft. He was a Bloodaxe Stormboss, and orders were orders, but this felt suspiciously like muckin' about. Why weren't they fighting yet? He knew Genrul Zag had a fiendish plan, and it was his duty to follow it to the letter. Well, picture - the scribbled crayon drawing of the battle-plan the warboss had thrust at him as they embarked had been quite specific, and it wouldn't do to let Da Genrul down. He had been known to rip heads off at the merest hint of insubordination. The Stormboss spat a large gobbet of phlegm onto the soot-blackened deck and cleared his throat. Making great show of checking his Kommando wristwatch (actually a wall-clock 'liberated' from the last Imperial hab-dome they had ransacked, and fastened in place with two ammo bandoliers) before taking a deep breath and bellowing over the junk-yard thrum of the Bomma's sickeningly loud engines, Dragnatz addressed the mob of assembled Stormboyz:

'LISSEN UP, YOU 'ORRIBLE GITZ! DA SMARTER ORKS AMONGST YOUSE MAY HAVE NOTICED DAT YOU IZ STANDING ON DA BOMB-BAY DOORS! DA REALLY CLEVER LADZ MIGHT EVEN BE WONDERIN' WHY...'

At this, several of the green-skinned warriors began to examine their surroundings, as if seeing them for the first time. Still more regarded the Stormboss with a mixture of bored indifference and incomprehension, examining the contents of a nostril with a clawed finger. Dragnatz continued:

'Dere is a very gud reason for dis - in exactly...' -Here he checked his watch again- '...5 minutes, we will be at da Eldar position. Dat's who we is going to stomp!

At this, the boyz let out a ragged cheer.

'Now, dis is Da Plan: Genrul Zag wants us to fly over dere and krump da pointy-eared gits, sharpish. Da only problem is, dey's got tanks and dreads, and loads ov gunz. Dead killy. So what we'z gonna do iz jump out of da Bomma right on top of dere heads, so dat we can krump dem nice an' quick before dey can brass da rest of da ladz up. Anyone gorra problem wiv dat? Any questionz?'

One of the stormboyz raised a hand: 'Yeah, er, Boss? Dis plan sounds a bit stoopi-' *BRRRRPPPT* Dragnatz silenced the dissenter with burst of his slugga, sending the ork's lifeless corpse cartwheeling across the hold of the aircraft. He fixed the remaining ranks with an emphatic glare:

'Shurrup, Magrat. Any UVVER questions?'

The silence, and a cloud of pink-grey brain matter, hung heavy in the air. The uniformed orks shuffled nervously, several of their number beginning to take great interest in the ends of their steel toe-capped boots.

'Gud. Now...' The Stormboss was cut off by the deafeningly loud 'DAKKADAKKA' of anti-aircraft fire. The Eldar and their humie allies must have spotted their transport, 'Da Albatross'. The aircraft dipped it's right wing, the pilot desperately attempting to dodge the incoming flak. The bomb-bay doors groaned ominously.
Dragnatz second-in-command, Sarj'nt Gorbad, yelled over the din:

'BOSS, DA BOMB-BAY DOORZ DON'T SOUND TOO STURDY - MAYBE WE SHUD FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO STAND!

'BOLLOCKS!' The stormboss replied. 'DIS HERE TRAP-DOOR IZ TOUGHER THAN WEEK-OLD SQUIG-MEAT! LOOK... *spang* *Spangspangspang*' At this, the Storboss began to stomp up and down on the rivetted panels of the trapdoor with his iron-shod feet, testing their toughness the only way an ork knows how.

'I don' fink dat's such a gud-'

*SPANGSPANGSPANG* 'Boss, really..' *SPANG* *CLANGCLANG*

'Gorbad! Iz you going soft on me or sumfing?' *SPANG* 'Dese doorz are as tuff as old boo- AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

The bomb-bay doors blasted open, 'Da Albatross' disgourging it's cargo of cursing Stormboys into the howling blackness.



The attack had begun.

That wasn't a move for 06 July, but rather 07 July (meaning IS doesn't get a move until 12:01AM "tonight"). It was just made one second early so that--as ff correctly pointed out--I needed to repost in order for the move to be legal. I didn't see IS's post because I was in "post reply" mode watching the seconds tick down before clicking "submit."

@Warboss Albatroz: Ripping good stuff! If BL ever does a book from the Greenskin-perspective they should at least ring you up to do consultant work or just flat-out hire you as the author.

Cheers! Funnily enough, I have an idea for an Ork novel but haven't got round to doing anything with it, what with Uni and everything else. The story would be based around a stray ork fungus spore that ends up on a human agri-world and grows into an ork 'baby' (I actually don't know much about the early years of ork life, so this might not be accurate...), which is raised as their own by a childless human couple. Obviously there will be some drama involved in them keeping what, to all intents and purposes, would look like a mutant child hidden on an imperium-held planet. Also, I thought it would be quite interesting to explore the 'nature-vs-nurture' dichotomy in this context; can the ork fight his 'orky' nature and appear relatively human? Would he speak and act like a human? Can he fight the urge to KILLRENDDESTROYFRAG?
I also find the idea of him coming into contact with other Orks during a raid on the planet appealling - what would they make of an ork who is so 'human'? I like the idea of a Bloodaxe Warboss taking him under his wing and teaching him how to be a 'proper' ork.

I have a lot of ideas, but the only thing set in stone is the name: Humie.

This is thread-worthy. I'd recommend putting something up in Background. Just be prepared for the flames. This sort of story, to my mind at least, would do better in Fantasy than 40k. Unlike 40k, WHFB never traded in its humor for Grim Darkness (compare, for example, the covers of the Ork Codex and Army Book). Still, I'd like to see it hashed over on the Boards.

I dunno man, any book from an orky perspective is going to have SOME humour in it. I mean, it wouldn't be like Terry Pratchett or anything - it would still be 40K. I envisage it actually being fairly serious, with a sprinkling of humour.

Slaughter Lord Shamanos had ceased speaking. As his status of his fleet grew worse his cognitive functions gave way to pure rage and hate. With no where to run, he and his brethren became like a cornered beast. And like a cornered beast there was only one option. He roared his command at the mortal vermin in the bridge. They whimpered and obeyed.

Shamanos boarded a dread claw with his most trusted warriors. The other world eaters within chanted, working themselves to a blood frenzy. Shamanos was already there, he simply roared.

After an eternity the claw impacted onto the eldar ship. Its melta charges cutting through the wraith bone. Even before the iris mechanism had fully opened Shamanos was aboard the xenos vessel. A wayward eldar technician caught Shamanos' axe full in the face.

"I AM THE SLAUGHTER LORD!" he roared at the corpse.

As his brothers piled into the maintenance hallway, Shamanos bellowed what passed for commands. "ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK! BLOOD AND SKULLS! PRAISE KHORNE, SKULLS FOR HIS THRONE!

His warriors echoed his sentiment and began to carve their way through the vessel.

Albatross that was ace BTW.

Nicholai hesitated. The Astropath had gone mad, rambling about a 'Shadow in the Warp', apparently the Kraken Splinter Fleet had set a course for Ultramar, on the same course as their ship. It would be foolhardy to follow in their wake, yet there was nothing to be gained for the Vostroyans by staying there.
"Ivan!" He barked "Relay this message to the Ulthwe Strike team, they are to meet us in the Ultramar system and recover. We will shield them against attacks."
Nicholai was loathe to use the Firstborn of Vostroya as a shield for xenos, but he had little choices. Allies were a rare and evermore valuable commoditty these dark days. As the ship churned through the warp he could only hope that the splinter fleet would be thoroughly...distracted.

Do Orks still have to move if they want to attack in this game? Edit: Nevermind, I'm just being thick. I read it as 'may only attack after moving', instead of 'may only attack after moving (not before). Dumbass.

I think Manchu explicitly stated that all races should be able to remain stationary and still attack.

Do you want a RAW answer, or a RAI answer?

Do you need a GWAR response?

Finally the Strike Cruiser had gotten operational again, the last attack had done more than it had originally. The Captain had bellowed in rage when the Eldar Cruiser had first entered the system and they had been unable to bring their lance batteries to bare, now though it seemed the malfunction had worked more in their favor. A large number of the Ulthwe forces seemed committed to the ground, tied up by the World Eaters and the ever impressive Green Skins, his own forces prepared themselves for one final assault on the Eldar, it wouldn't be the finisher at the very least it could still be a crippling blow. The bridge of the Nocturne Glaive was quiet, it's crewmen, much like the Glaive itself were preparing for the hunt. The Captain's hands tensed around the control rail as he gave the order to charge lance batteries. On the surface of the war torn world the Lieutenant welcomed the darkness before the strike, the Eldar knew what the night would have in store for them, he checked the magazine of his bolter an ancient relic from times long past, it wasn't the weapon he had started this life with rather a trophy from a long gone war that to him at least seemed like yesterday. Steeling his mind and wiping away previous victories from his mind the Lieutenant gave the order to prepare, the signal would come soon.

The prow lances had fully charged, in it's current position the Nocturne Glaive's energy signature would look like it was the life draining out of the Imperial Carrier it waited behind. It's prey though, as tricky and bathed in the warp as they were, no doubt had some inclination that it was there ready to strike. The only question now was would they do anything to avoid their fate? With surprising agility the Glaive emerged from behind the Carrier and let loose with its lances, it would only get these shots.

Like the etherial lightning that played across the Midnight Clad of the Veteran Night Lords they had struck against the Eldar ground forces, a quick strike, a simple attack with its only purpose to inflict casualties and deny their prey any respite. As their Thunder Hawks docked with the Glaive, the Lieutenant congratulated his Astartes on what he felt was a job well done. Their withdrawl from the system meant one thing how ever, there were bigger and more dangerous fish to catch.

Night Lords attack Ulthwe, move to Iyanden(Beta) and reinforce.

This is just getting ridiculous.

Lord Shamanos ripped his axe from the last wailing xenos female. They had fought well, with unexpected fury and two of his brethren had fallen in their initial assault. But the corridors were quiet now. The xenos seemed to have abandoned this escort vessel with the time the wailing women had bought. As the battle ebbed some of his cognitive functions returned.

Shamanos voxed his flagship.

++What is the status of the vermin?++

An exhausted fearful voice replied.

++Slaughter Lord, the Eldar fleet has fled.++

Shamanos roared and decapitated one of the corpses in disgust. He took its gleaming chest gem as a trophy. He looked to his brothers, one was mutilating a corpse with a blade.

"World Eaters, scuttle the ship, there is no war left here."

With relish the berzerkers moved off to cause yet more destruction. Alone now Shamanos stalked the halls, hoping to find xenos who had not yet fled. Minutes past and he had found no survivors. He came to a door, almost as if he had been called there. When he keyed it open he was greeted by a barrier field. Through its blue haze he could glimpse a figure, a xenos creature standing on the other side, almost as if it were waiting for him. Through he barrier it spoke.

"Tainted deviant of the Primordial Annihilator. Hear me. You will not see the end of Ulthwe. This vessel is barely a fraction of its strength. I remain to tell you of your doom. Your alliance with the orks will fail. They will betray you."

Irritated by the sing song messenger Shamanos struck the barrier with his axe, the head of it disintegrated. The Slaughter Lord eyed the barrier warily. He searched the seams of the doorway for the mechanism, there must be a way to kill it.

The eldar continued. "Your only chance is to betray them first, there will be only one victor to inherit this sector."

Shamanos drew the chest stone he had taken as the xenos prattled on. He saw its eyes follow the stone. He crushed it in his hand. Such sacrilege stunned the xenos into silence.

"Your blasphemous race is a byword for cowardice. You hide from battle, from life and even from death." Shamanos tossed the remnants of the stone into the barrier.

"Your words are meaningless." Shamanos kicked the edge of the door in frustration.

His vox crackled to life.

++The Trophy Is Mine! Objective Destroyed!++

The barrier flickered. The xenos fled from the doorway as the barrier collapsed. Instinctively Shamanos fired his bolt pistol clipping the black clad xenos' shoulder. He saw it bleed as it dived through a portal. Shamanos gave chase but it was too late. The gateway was closed.

"Bastard!" Shamanos roared.

Like a strutting bull, Genrul Zag stomped through the detritus of battle, shattered bodies and smoking wreckage marking the remnants of the Eldar rout. His stormboy battlegroup had been brutally effective and had performed excellently, if slightly erratically. Several of the bombers had caught flak on their inbound flights, and there were mobs scattered all across The Verdant Zone, site of the Eldar base. Some had exited their transports early, some had exited late - by accident or by design? It was hard to tell. In any case, the old Warboss and his retinue had noted with much amusement the great destruction wrought by the downed bommas. They were essentially large piles of scrap-metal, welded together and hauled into the air by stinking, coughing, and most importantly, loud engines, engines which had exploded in to gigantic balls of flame when each aircraft had taken enough direct hits. The sturdy construction of the aircraft had actually worked in their favour - the fact that they had not broken up in mid-air when they had been fired upon meant that the stormboyz inside had time to hurl themselves out. It had also meant that the ammunition and bombs were protected from fire, that is until they entered into a spiralling nosedive and slammed into the ground like a war-god's angry fist, culminating in cataclysmic explosions which had been very, very killy. And funny.

Yes, they had laughed at that.

The net result of all this had been that sporadic fighting had erupted all over the Verdant Zone, stormboy mobs suddenly popping up from out of nowhere to cause havoc behind Eldar lines. The Ulthwe force had assumed it was greatly outnumbered on the ground, when in fact the numbers were fairly even, and the Orks had no trukks or gunwagons in the initial assault. The dispersed pattern that the jack-booted ork fighters had naturally assumed due to the circumstances of their insertion negated the threat of Imperial fire support coming to the aid of the beleaguered Eldar force - the orks were simply too spread out for heavy bombardment to work to it's maximum effectiveness. Faced with what appeared to be an overwhelmingly large number of enemies attacking from all sides, the Eldar commander had panicked, withdrawing to the relative safety of the space-port.

It was here that they had run into the Goff warband, and were promptly cut to ribbons. Da Genrul had laughed at that, too.


He wasn't laughing now, though. Now, he was decidedly vexed. What had started out as a fighting retreat by the pointy-eared gits had turned into an all-out rout, and the much depleted Eldar force had managed to escape by the narrowest of margins. Their vehicles were far too maneuverable to be caught by the comparitively sluggish Goff battlewagons. Zog it! Zog it all to hell! Why didn't those puny elves stand and fight? It made Zag sick to his stomach. He spat on the ground. Reports were coming through on the radio from the his flagship 'Da Klaw' of large amounts of dakka going down in the outer orbit of Armageddon Prime. Well, that was something at least. The spiky boyz must have intercepted the fleeing Eldar craft. Still, why should they have all the fun? They were good fighters, but they weren't orks, and as every ork knows, 'green iz best'.

Da Genrul was shaken from his reverie by the screeching sound of aircraft screaming through the sky, seemingly headed for low orbit. He turned to the hulking form of Borka, head of the nob retinue which followed him at all times and thrust a razor-sharp power claw into the sky, as if to threaten the very heavens themselves:

'Oo, or wot, is dat?', he spat in disgust.

'I reckons itz da uvver spiky boys, boss. Da red wunz. Looks like dey's goin' to a fight or sumfing.' The raised his heavily scarred brow, trying to appear nonchalant, as if a fight was the last thing he'd be interested in. One didn't simply 'suggest' something to 'Da Orkiest Genius Dere Ever Was', as Zag styled himself. Such insubordination was liable to cost the offender one of his eyes. If he was lucky. No, it was infinitely better to let Da Genrul think that it was his idea to follow the World Eaters' craft.

'I see' said the old Warboss. 'Goin' to a fight are dey? Goin' to a fight. An' I don' supposed YOU would be interested in ANYFING like DAT, would you Borka?'

'Hehe. Ok boss - if you says so...' replied a grinning Borka. 'Orders, boss?' The nob Kaptin brought himself smartly to attention, clicking his heels together and saluting three times, each salute drawing a sharp metallic clang as it rebounded from, and left a dent in, Borka's spiked helmet.

The Warboss sprang into action, in his element now that he had scented battle, no matter how faint the scent.

'Yeah, fire up 'Da Warpig' and gather da boyz - dere's no way dat humie is beating me to a fight! DIS. MEANS. WAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!'

Warboss SkarGob glared in disbelief as The Eldar quickly outdistanced his convoy of Battle Wagons.

"Kowardz!!!" the Warboss belowed,kicking a hapless grot clear across a huge defelation crator.

" 'Ow dare deze stinkin pointy eared Panziess run fum such a good fight!!??" SkarGob mused,scratching his head and picking grot bitz out of his steel toed boot.

" Oi! Boss" Gragatz said cautiously, " Da boyz wanna know wut dey shud do."

Warboss SkarGob back handed the Nob across the face, "Tell 'em ta try ta find yer teef !!" The Huge Ork growled "...An don't botha me again..I'm finking!"

Gragatz hurried away,holding his mouth and swinging his choppa at a grot who was busily scurrying about,attempting to collect a few of the nobs teeth.

Finally The Warboss,rallied his lads " Awrite!! We'z movin out ...youze lot all get bakk ta da tranzportz...If da Panziess won't stand and fight...den we'z gonna take da fight ta dem."

Striking with unchecked fury, the Biel-Tan seek to avenge the Ulthwe blood spilt by the Chaotic vermin. Lugh grinning joyfully moves to join Danu and her warlocks as the launch the next crippling strike.

Nicholai stood upon the turret of his faithful Chimera Command Vehichle as it trundled along the rocky passageway. Behind him the Firstborn of Vostroyan marched stoically, singing in their deep, gruff voices. Their words carried into the valley below them, where a scene of nightmares was underway. Tooth, claw, Chainsword and axe all meshed into one as the Tyranid horde crashed into the Chaos and Ork lines. Nicholai paid them no heed. He had the might of Vostroya behind him, and there was no stopping that. He lost himself in song, a ballad of old that all Vostroyan children knew well.

"Beware thyne wych, the harvesters stock.
They come for bairn and helpless flock.
Look out your doors and be not afraid,
For the sons of Vostroya march here this day.

One by one they march this way,
Paying a debt that can ne'er be repaid.
The First of Vostroya, here we do stand.
With sword, shield and lasgun on hand,
We grind our foe into dust, into sand."

Nicholai grinned wolfishly. Vostroya was going to war.

Slaughter Lord Shamanos laughed as he watched as one of his vessels burned in the void. The eldar had come and like rats they had fled. But Shamanos knew, Kharnath cares not from whence the blood flows. His God had empowered races barely sentient to bleed him. So be it. His skull had always belonged to Khorne.

" But dem kowardly maggotz dinna wanna propah fight!" SkarGob continued " But da bugz..now dey knowz 'ow ta skrap!!".

"Foul ork filth!" Nicholai screamed as he rended anothers skull with a swipe of his power blade. Their was no singing now, only shouting and yelling and the screams of the dying. The greenskins were surging forward, pushing themselves into the Vostroyan ranks, unfazed by the artillery the tore gaping holes in their ranks. It seemed that the Tyranids had also fallen upon the ork horde, their swarms digging deep into the Ork lines. Nicholai could only hope that they continued to kill each other, praying to the Patron Saint of Vostroya that Vostroya would go unnoticed by the monstrous tyranid horde. If they did, Vostroya would suffer a blow it could never recover from.

As he hacked and hacked into the greenskin scum, the lines between friend and foe blurred. Nothing was making sense anymore.

Nicholai spotted a gigantic ork, probably one of the foul Warbosses, throwing a vulgar hand gesture his way. Climbing atop the battered Command Chimera, he threw several pelvic thrusts of his own before returning the gesture.

Lord Shamanos roared as he took the skull of his fellow world eater. How dare Tyrax challenge him. But it was settled now wait, wasn't he suppose to have done something? (missed yesterdays turn oops.)

His boyz had met the "bugz" in a glorious dance of fury and carnage,and now it appeared " Da oomiez" wanted a piece of the fight as well..

SkarGob laughed like a maniac," Even dem sneaky Blood Axez wantz ta get in on da killin."

" Diz iz shaping up ta be a good day." SkarGob grinned,his power klaw scissored into an advancing "oomie",the man unhinging and toppling in two halves in a spray of blood and entrails.

" Keep krumping ya maggotz!!" the Warboss belowed at his boyz " I dun wanna see nuffin left alive wot aint green!!"

Goff (Orks) attack Vostroyans (IG).

Ork, Imperial, and Renegade Vessels alike danced amongst the cloud of Tyranids that loomed hungrily over the Worlds of the Ultramar Sector, the only semblance of cohesion and alliance coming unusually from the typically chaotic Ork and Renegade Forces. Their was a barely noticed flash at the edge of the system as Warpspace tore it's way into real space, through the eye of this multicolored storm passed the Nocturne Glaive, the predator was silent and on the prowl, her Astartes masters having decided it was time to keep up their end of the bargain with the Ork Warboss. The Ancient Warship's prow lances flared at the closest of the Hive Ships, its hunt had begun.

Ok I'll go and edit that John.

Edit:No problem John.

"The Fleet is ready, Lugh" said Danu. The Farseer continued on to tell the Autarch, "When we arrive you will take the Spear of Morgrim and lead the Strike." Lugh straightened with news of this honour. He replied, "Thank you for this unexpected Honour". Lugh had just been assigned to work with Farseer Danu on the eve of this conflict. While it would be normal for the Autarch to lead the warhost and be the voice of the Avatar, for reasons shrouded in mystery the Farseer was the one in command. This had caused much friction between the two and Lugh had spoken rashly in criticism of Danu telling her that, "You would waste time scrying the future to determine how you should breath". There had been severl tense moments between the two that lead him to question, "Why this honour?" "Has she divined that the end of his lifes thread lies near?" Whatever she knew, Danu had become increasingly reticent, even to the point of delegating her duties to others while she spent more time in the Crystal Dome. What ever was going on, Lugh had no more time to waste pondering upon such things. The Time for battle was nigh.

It is a New Day and the strikes had been accomplished with practiced mastery. Lugh had to admit that he was beginning to feel the sustained pace of the attacks. It wasn't the fighting that was wearing upon him, no it was the repitition that was needed to bring bown the corrupted Mon-kiegh. Lugh tilting his head back, rubbing his neck thought,"At least we will finish these animals soon and will be able to join in the major battle at the Mon-kiegh's fortress world."

3 cycles. To Nicholai it seemed longer than that. Much longer. A fresh batch of youngbloods arrived, thier wispy hair only just beggining to take the form of a mustache. Nicholai frowned. He should be happy, but he only felt resigned...he wondered how long they would last.

Vostroya attacks all Greenskin scum 1. Reinforces 1. Time to dig in.

Lord Shamanos tired of the pathetic rat like attacks of the cowards. To scared to even face him at 2 to 1 odds. But such is the way of xenos. Always hiding, always running back to their lairs. He set his sights on the mindless cockroaches instead.

C is for crunchy! Om nom nom!! Om nom nom!!!

Sorry about putting Kraken on 24, I had originally planned to attack them but then changed my mind and attacked Vostroya instead. I forgot to change it back - I guess that's what happens when you post whilst high!

Also, Vostroyans were on 18 - EF reinforced 1, so they should now be on 19.

Red Corsairs attack one, then flee and reinforce.

The Kraken would have to wait, a decisive blow could not be made whilst the Imperials stood their ground and fought, and the Eldar raided. One or the other would have to be destroyed, preferably both. With a signal from the Captain the Glaive's lances began charging, its prey this time one of the many Vostroyan support vessels. Seconds, maybe minutes passed as the lances were charging, the Cruiser's lesser batteries working to keep the ship un-harassed. Finally, the weapons were ready, with a single gesture from the Captain the lance's tore into the Supply Ship. The Nocturne Glaive and her crew remaining in system only long enough to watch the ship's first death throws.

Night Lords attack the Vostroyians, and withdraw to Iyanden.

*waits to die*

Shaman wrote:*waits to die*

Casting aside even the pretense of martial pride and the basic tenets of Khorne, the World Eaters under Shaman retreat and cower shamefully.

Can they not find some way to regain their lost honor and redeem themselves in the eyes of Khorne?

Actually if you look at world eaters lore you would realize I am playing them exactly as portrayed in the lore.

siege of terra -- horus croaks run away..

Siege of Vraks -- argh! its an inquisitor, jump in to a warp tear i.e run away.

Battle for Armageddon -- Angron croaks.. run away.

Heroic last stands are for loyalists. World Eaters are traitors and traitors even fearless insane berzerker ones never lose the instinct/ability to run away.

Also if you notice in my list World Eaters have never managed to win one campaign in the service of the Blood god. So all in all I am doing a bang up job.

I dunno, man. WE are only supposed to be about getting skulls.

And Khorne isn't picky about where they come from...

Thats propaganda. Only Kharn behaves that way.

Look at the battles I mentioned.. why do they always run. Why bother if you don't care if you die. How can they have warbands at all?

Khorne's not picky, but many of the people who serve him are.

Yeah, but Kharne is hard-core, an inspiration to you all!

Slaughter Lord Shamanos stalked through his own vessel. Killing indiscriminately. His rage was total. Coherence lost. All that mattered was blood. He slew his own brothers. In the back of his rage filled mind was the echo of the original thought. The Daemon had whispered to him.. Kill them all and Khorne shall deliver you from oblivion. Heap their skulls in a great pile and then we will come. A World Eater Skull Champion roared from out of the darkness. His bolter blazing a staccato of impacts upon Shamanos' armored form. His poweraxe arching downwards towards his head. The Slaughter Lord roared as he deflected the blow with the strength of a madman. His gauntleted fist countered, striking the skull champion's unprotected head with a satisfying crack. Momentarily stunned with an eye hanging from his face the Skull Champion was attacked with a flurry of blows. Shamanos' freshly anointed Axe of Khorne cutting through the his foes limbs. The Skull Champion came apart as he fell, only the torso and the head remained. Such things were to be savored. For a second Shamanos hesitated, this was Vrykren, a great champion, a blood brother.. Acidic spit splattered upon Shamanos' helm. He could smell it burning through the blood and paint. This was a dead man! Almost of its own volition the axe came down, decapitating Vrykren. Shamanos took off down the corridor. Skulls For The Skull Throne!

The Blood God's vassals pour forth from the warp, they sense the servants of the Corpse and attack. The World Eater vessel drifts to another sector. Demonic Legions reinforce.

While I don't know the particulars, it may be in certain vostroyan commander's benefits to flee now, flee from the range one chaos marines...

I'm openly declaring that I am working with anyone that isn't orks or chaos right now...

Fleeing still leaves him in range of the Orks.

I'm not Orks or CSM, so, sure, I'd be happy to work with you - just don't expect me to go running around to chase stuff down, because I can't do that. I mostly just sit and eat whatever appears in front of me...

Flee? Why prevent the inevitable? The Chaos/Ork scum have made their alliance clear, and it is stand or die with us now. Fleeing, and sheltering themselves from the foe, is for those Cadian dogs with thier tails tucked neatly between their legs. The men of Vostroya are made of sterner stuff. Death to the Greenskin foe! Come Eldar allies! To me! (Or finish of the World Eater rats, whichever suits you and helps the cause)

Lugh was meditating in his chambers when he was startled by the announcement to prepare for battle. "What in the heavens is happening?" thought Lugh, The hour for the next scheduled strike was still half a cycle away and no enemies where within striking distance. "Status" Lugh demanded in thought and words as he reached the bridge of his cruiser. Lelldorin, the young farseer who had been assigned as as Lugh's aid, replied,"Danu has ordered another attack immediately and is leading the strike herself.". Immediately annoyed at the lack of being consulted on this decision, Lugh ordered the The Spear of Morgrim to prepare for the strike and also sending the message to Danu, "Do you realize that we are attacking half a cycle away?". It was not unheard of for Farseers to come out of a trance disoriented as to the time, so Lugh's question did not violate any ettiquette but could still be considered as rude.
When the reply came, it ignored the Autarchs Jab and simply stated, "When your ship is ready take up position leading the Second Wave.". Inwardly Lugh swore furiously but outwardly he simply asked, "What in the ***** is she up to?

A Short time later Lugh was astounded by the answer to his question. It began with the arrival at Craftworld Iyanden and and Danu Sending a Message to the Mon-kiegh hiding there. The message said, "To all who are within this sector, this is our territory and for your trespass you will pay. For your attacks upon our bretheren you will bleed and for your service to the adversary you will die just as your pathetic Captain Shamanos and his *ahem*World Eaters.

Slaughter Lord Shamanos writhed in agony, his body was being ripped apart, he could hear the laughter of the dark gods. He felt the last remnants of his sanity leave him as his body warped uncontrollably. No longer could he comprehend reality. He gasped his last breath.

He was not dead. His heightened senses heard glimpses from the realm of the gods, jibbering voices, echos of battles long past, roars of defiance. He felt the raw emotion of hatred, of blessed rage all around him. He sensed the colossal megalithic presence of his god, his master. He felt a miniscule amount of that power within him, emanating from him, as an aura of rage. He opened his eyes. He had warped, had changed into something unrecognizable. He stood. The scale of his ship had shrunken. Its features lacked colour, definition. In contrast his body blazed bright red. His right hand had meshed with a fearsome axe. It glowed; flowing through it he recognized flittering souls of xenos trapped within it. The soul stones he had yet to sacrifice, imprisoned to suffer an eternity of torment within his weapon. He felt their anger and disgusting fear, Kharnath would not give those souls to his lesser brother. He swung the weapon; felt its weight attached to his hand, perfection. His other hand had morphed into an eviscerating claw. His armor had warped, each piece emblazoned with the rune of his master. Upon his back were great wings, like those of a dragon. He took a step and nearly fell, his feet now warped to cloven hooves. Shamanos roared to the warp in victory. He had achieved the goal of all who had killed for the eightfold path. He had ascended like his father before him. He was no longer mortal, no longer bound to the rules of the pathetic universe from whence he came. He truly was the Slaughter Lord.

A tear in reality appeared. He bathed in its power. A warrior tumbled out of it, another and another until he had once again a small warband. When they saw his fearsome visage they dropped to one knee. Shamanos perceived them differently too. These Berzerkers appeared transparent, their armor, their flesh yielding to display what was important, their lifeblood. He watched it pump through their forms, just waiting to be spilled.
He spoke, his voice edged in malice and newfound power.
I am the Slaughter Lord.
Praise
Be
To
Khorne!
The warriors.. No. His warriors yelled their praise.
The broken crippled vessel he was aboard shook. A bombardment shook the very foundations of the ship.
“Man the vessel! Bring us about to attack!”
The mortals obeyed.
Under continuous fire the of enemy, the World Eater ship brought itself alongside the xenos fleet. Its own meager weapons trading fire with the sleek fragile vessels.
Xenos teleported aboard. The real battle had begun.
“Defend the ship. Slaughter them all!”
Teleported Xenos were shocked to discover the living instrument of the blood god before them. They attempted to flee from his presence, instead his weapon cut them down.
“Blood for the Blood God!”

Again Danu sent her message, this time with more vitrol. "You and your corrupted kind will not escape the Eldars wrath. While you run like the plague rats of nurgle we will exterminate you as the vermin you are". While many of her peers were shocked by this vehement display, none could argue its effectiveness at rallying the Biel-tan warhost to a feverish battle frenzy.

Aboard his ship The Slaughter Lord grapsed a xenos invader with his claw like hand. With a chuckle he decpaitated it with his razor like teeth. No sing song eldar message reached him.

(After the first engagement of this battle)
Victorious yet again, Lugh laughed at the incompetence of the Mon-kiegh as he joked with his men. He even jested that if the Biel-tan continued at this rate that the other races would confuse them with their darker bretheren for what they were doing to the World Eaters.

Suddenly the viewport lit up as another of the corrupted Mon-kiegh tribes attacked. A cheer ran through the Eldar fleet as they rejoiced at thier success in implementing Farseer Danu's plan. Then the Biel-tan realizing that the time for celebration was over, set about the next step of the plan with focused determination.

BrotherStynier wrote: I was gonna post some RP stuff, then... well I suddenly lost the urge, strange how people can make that happen.

Was that at Moi'? I hope that you are not taking my Role-play as serious.

The grinding, gnashing mess pushed ever onwards. Ork and man drove into one another. It had long ceased to be a battle, it had ceased to be a melee...now it was a slow, arduos grind of bodies as the line swayed back and forth back and forth. The living trampled over the dead and dying of both sides, heedless of the difference between friend and foe. A blood soaked Nicholai still stood over the wreck of the Command Chimera, urging the men on.

"Cease your mewling whelps! You are men of Vostroya! Are we known for our cowardice? For our hesitation? Our dismay? No! Songs shall be sung of our deeds this day and damn any who think otherwise. Now push! Push you beardless bastards! Push!"

Song would definitely be sung, though Nicholai as he looked out into the field. The crude ork war shouts were now indistinguishable from the Vostroyans battle crys. Songs would be sung, but Nicholai was begining to doubt that any of them would still be left to sing it.

The battle seems more intense now but the action remains indecisive.

No, he doesn't, not yet.

But he's pretty close to being able to kill some Heretic Traitor scum....

Could kill more than that. Creed is with us. Now lets outflank something big.



Back to Strats:

*Refitting the fleet took its time and the loss of the astropath in the treacherous attack of the Vostroyans didn't help either.
With new orders arriving, Cadia was ready to strike.*

The strategium deck dimmed, the only source of light was the display of the hololithic cube of the planet below, the gathered officers
arranged at the table looked up as another person entered. "In absence of Admiral Bell, who still recovers from the hit these
emperor forsaken vostroyans dealt at our bridge, I colonel Kurtzweil , will temporarily accept command. In his name, in memory of our dead,
to honor Cadia and what it stands for, let us begin. We have wasted enough time.Any questions? I hope not."

[i]"First, make sure we are fully operational.Get me the closest targets and I want a clean hit on these 3."
-Aye, col, sir.
-Batteries ready, sir.
"1 salvo, full spread"
*shook by the recoil, Col kurztweil watched as the explosions ripped the surfaces of 2 vessels.*
"wait, didn't I order to aim at 3 of those ?"
-Aye, sir.
"So why is it just 2 beeing hit? Do we lack practice that much?"
-......
"ahem, sir, we expierenced a slight malfunction. Our escorts got the sleek vessels there, but we, ahem, missed, somehow..."
"MISSED? "
"We missed?"
*sunken back into the command throne, col kurtzweil waves a scribe closer to dictate new training routines*

Cadians prepare for war, Stay at armageddon and attacks (3?, missed 1) 2 eldar ships.

THe Artillery had forced off the last ork aussault, and a small break allowed Nicholai (hey, Predator dude , somebody getz me a minigun) to slump into the makeshit officers tent. Although his body demanded sleep, he had to look over the incoming messages first. His eyes strayed to one letter in particular. The Cadians, their stance so far unknown, had somehow made his way into his dispatches. The Eldar contacts on Armageddon may have very well paid off. Nicholai studied the data on their new leader with disgruntled interest, reading to himself.

"Colonel Kurtzwiel, born something or other...Several sucessive campaigns against the Hrud migrations in the Delta section..." Nicholai's eye narrowed "Contacted and trained with elements of Raven Guard as a leuitenant on a program designed to counter Eldar pirates... Distinct Xenophobia and personal sense of pride." If Nicholai weren't so tired he would have spluttered in fury at the next words "Known to remark on the...disloyalty? Disloyaty?! Vostroya. Will not. Stand for this." Nicholai threw the letter away in disgust.

Cadia would pay a terrible price for this Kurtzweil's remark...they would bleed. But first...first there were the orks.

BTW, I'm finding this World Eater Manhunt to be very interesting. Can't wait to see some finale fiction writing.

Oh BTW, my next go will probably be my last (for a while, at least), as I'm going to Spain on Friday for 10 days. If someone wants to take over Bloodaxes, let Manchu know and see FITTZ for general orky planz! Cheers.
