...Huh. He said I could choose what kind of death world it is. I mean, there are massive storms, so gas giant isn't wrong I guess? Just, mars-y on the ground.

Pretty much. Or, you're on a moon of the main gas giant. Or, there's land in the centre that the previous fleet missed. Again, apologies for not keeping track of what this world actually was

Sounds good, I'm going to type my chunk now.

What would be some good numbers for traitor guard?

I'm trying to go with a mix of the regular insane bunch, and some more disciplined elites.

Realistically? In the millions, especially of the insane ones. The elites? How elite? Standard guard-level elite, or Scion-level elite?

Thought I'd check, first.

Between Guard Veteran and Scion, I'd say. Not brainwashed and trained from child on like the Scions, but eh..

And lacking the gear, too, that makes a difference, as War Kitten will find out when I write my part

Oh dear, I think I angered the Scions. But I thought my DEldar fell back to their ships to lick their wounds, or did you mean you'd find the ship? As far as I'm aware the DEldar aren't prone to making bases on the ground.

I'll keep the mystery floating for now and give you that time to soil your pants.

But don't worry too much, my Scions have been given an objective and they won't go for your DEldars till its done.

Have fun with that. My Dark Eldar will be soiling their skin suits if you need us.

I love Spark Notes, sure.

Necrons are on planet Voor'Han. Tau send a mining fleet(From lubragh or whatever the FSE plents called) to planet near Voor'Han
Tau are attacked by a lot of Ork pirates, I mean alot.
They enter system sending distress call, about half their fleet remains.
Necrons need power to restore Voor'Han to full capacity. Tau have power capabilities.
Necrons help Tau defeat Orks. Tau leaders meet with Greater Court.
In return for power the Necrons will protect Tau and what not.

It's in the link in my signature. I'm currently writing fluff from Tau POV.

Just a comment, the Necrons wouldn't go "Oh, the ship missed... It must be a Wych Cult ship!" They might figure out that it's an Eldar vessel (maybe, haven't seen too much DE/Necron fluff where they meet), but knowing it's a Wych Cult on board? Reaching a bit.

Didn't I put in there that they had the Dirge scan the ship? Im sure I did, if i didn't I'll correct it

this is where I wrote it, 3rd paragraph

I wouldn't say Necrons are True Evil now. It would depend on the leader of the Dynasty. Some of them would just want to be left alone, while others might want to kill everyone. I think of the Necrons as just plain Neutral in their new fluff. But that's just my opinion

Yeah, most are, but my Necrons don't have the firepower, man power or inclination to be true evil. If they fight everyone then they'd be destroyed. My dynasty is minuscule compared to others.

Firepower? Man power? Necrons have neither of these? What fluff have you been reading?

Like I said, it's just my opinion, but with the Newcron fluff it depicts each Phaeron (I think that's the right name for the head of a dynasty) as having their own personalities and goals. It's not too much of a stretch that one might be a bit more diplomatic and try to work with some of the other races.

My bad, oops on my part, I ment to say MY Necrons don't have those.

Oh new thoughts I just had:

Ordo Malleus is named after the part of the ear called the Malleus. Grey Knights start their battle cry with "I am the Hammer." A Malleus is nicknamed the "hammer."

Just noticed that Papa Smurf (Lord Calgar) attacks at Initiative 5 with his power fists. I am now using his profile for Sylus

Got up the section for my Marines. One more major victory and all you Imperials get some expertise in fighting the Nids in space.

Ultramarines 3rd company attached fleet assets:
Battle Barge "Honour"
Strike Cruiser "Guilleman's Blade"
Strike Cruiser "Retribution"
Assorted escort vessels

 Tactical_Spam wrote:

It is, in fact, much easier than that. Malleus literally means hammer, so they are the Order of the Hammer, of which the Grey Knights is their Chamber Militant. The ear is not involved at all.

It is Low Gothic and, originally, Latin.

Oh yes I did. Go look again

Like 3 hours ago.

And your point is? I mentioned it now so people could go and look at it if they wanted to.

WK, when do you think your DE will reply?

Nice section Bob, yeah my attack on you rolled a draw, so I got a fair number of kills and capture some Scions, but I took casualties as well. I'm a tad nervous about your "plans" however. I'm just hoping to improve my writing for the next time.

Good chunk, the small unit actions are almost better in some sense than giant battles

Notice how their locator is still working.

Or don't because perhaps the DEldars are familiar with that tech

I noticed, I'm just trying to figure out whether or not the DEldar would actually notice. I'm really not that great with fluff, but I'm trying

I figured this trick wouldn't work agaisn't say, anything ex-imperial, hence why I was quite happy to be able to pull it on you.

I refrained from killing the Scions using a kill-switch or something, because then you'd have lost your prize from that draw, which would be kinda mean.

I hate that it's being pulled on me (because I'm a bit slow on the upkeep) Yep. Might have to have Smudge roll to see if I'm able to figure it out. Stupid question but are the locators a part of their equipment or planted in their bodies? I'm not familiar with Scion fluff

Bob, I have a feeling that your scions will hinder my coalition forces. I will have to see about this

Part of their gear

Very good, I have some plans now.

And there's the monoscopes, too,, though they might be too far to give an image, I guess we can leave it up to Smudge

Omniscopes you mean?

I think Scions use them, not 100% sure on that though as they are rare even compared to carapace and hotshots.

Nope, monoscope, its from the Scion 'dex

Ah okay, that makes sense.

How many foot soldiers/ground forces does everyone have?

1200 Marines + Command, 2 "Imperial Guard" regiments and a super heavy tank Battalion.

Edit: Forgot New Order Armour

400ish marines (black templers, full armour. Odd super hevey, land raiders, etc etc)
Death korps brigades (plenty) (part siege army, artillery, death riders and such)
1250 fausteens
500 catchans
Several hundred admech

Enough, not millions though.

Cadian 13th: Artillery Company, LRBT Company, Mech Infantry Company, Two Line Infantry Companies, Veteran Company. Whatever men that entails.

Ultramarine Strikeforce Praetoria: Standard Demi-company, three 1st Company reinforcement squads. Armoured support.

I posted up a little blurb for Kharne and Bob detailing Nelith accepting his terms and finding the locators. I did PM Smudge and inform him that I would leave it up to him if my DE were able to dispose of them in time to be able to disappear. I sent him a number with my PM, maybe you should do so as well Bob to see if your Scions can still have an idea of where I am?


Oh. and my Marines have been reduced to:

Captain Julius
Command Squad
1 Assault Squad (10 man)
1 Tactical Squad (5 man)
1 Scout Squad (5 man)
1 Terminator Squad (5 man)
2 Devastator Squads (5 man each)

Three teams of Assault Centurions from the Eighth Company, under Sergeants Factus, Proctor, and Tyrius

An Ironclad Dreadnought, Honoured Brother Hennion.

Started at 1250 Scions now down 1229

Forgot to add dreadnoughts when I posted up my Marines. 1 Contemptor Dreadnought.

I have a few legions of higher ranking things and more legions of lesser people.
I don't know how many swarms of Canoptek Creations, and quite a few vehicles including a vault and obelisks.

Oh and 20 Taurox Primes, 60 Valkyries and 6 Vultures, the latter of which is subject to change

On behalf of all Kroot, I am offended, good sir. They do have souls, (though now I'm thinking about fishing the Kroot out of the warp and sticking daemons in some of them). Just because.

Given the state of things on that front Ivan and his destroyer might be needed over with Julius. I also have a flying sensor array of a destroyer that already has got some idea of how to track the beasts

fair deal, i keep vargos, if Karak goes west to join the war vs tyranids instead of just fungus border guard you can team up with him abit

So, what'd be a fair number for me? I mean, millions would be pretty realistic and actually able to hold a planet, but that'd be by far a lot more than all of you, which is why I'm asking.

I would imagine a few thousand of the Renegade Guard (so a few regiments), and then hordes and hordes of the unwashed masses

Well, I have no idea how many slaves Archarus has. And humans are willing to fight like a daemon itself if they have a hope of survival. Not something they are used to while working in the forges.

 War Kitten wrote:

fewThousand of trained troops and alot of basically trained, barely equipped cultest fodder sounds about right. guard have all the good gear, any tanks, artillary etc.

I'll leave that for when Nelith and your Overlord actually meet for the first time. At the moment I'm playing a rousing game of "Hide from the Scions and their friends"

Well, I got out-rolled on the locators and I wasn't able to nullify them in time. Just have to wait and see what Bob does with that information.

So, no takers on the name game?

Also, rolled well on killing the worm, but lost another fething scout.

I lost the bulk of my battle company against fog-creatures. I know how it feels

Cleared entry with Sgt_Smudge, so before I dive headlong into the pool of madness, thought I'd toss out an offer if anyone has need of CSM intervention or plot goodness.

If you find some Kroot lost in the warp, please return them to their owner. (That being the Iron Warriors, mind you). It seems I lost them, but what did I expect when some necrons would have to fiddle with a warp rift? They're good at closing it, and killing anything that comes out, but I don't think they really anticipated having to send something into it unscathed.

I'm just pleased with how many new people we're getting now.
Kharne
Swamp
Eye
Bob
Ashiraya might be coming back
All in all a very good couple of days

I am pleased with how many punks can end up on the business end of my novacannons

I would like my Harvester back when you find those Kroot Spawns

And I would like to welcome Eye of Night to the Coalition.

Coalition forces as of now:
Kageros Necrons
Iron Warriors
Probably Dark Eldar
EoN's Flayed Legion

We will have to gather a council for negotiations at some point

Them's fightin' words TS, do you want me to send more Pathfinders to blow up your engines again? That worked out swimmingly last time.

And I could send another team of Deathmarks ?

Also, TS, it would be quite appreciated if you were to let me evacuate the planet before Exterminatusing it

Would you mind telling me which of my ships you killed 2BJ1? I only have so many. I assume it was one of the two I had out and about.

Yeah, sorry for not being specific. I have practically no area of expertise involving ships, but it was one of the out and about ships. It's also the reason why I don't write up ship battles (or when I rarely do, they aren't long or descriptive).

It's fine. I just wanted to know which one had died. I'll take off one of them, you got one of the smaller, but really fast ones. Gonna have to wreck some more Iron Warrior ships now, take 5 IW lives for every Eldar you killed.

I would also like to announce my necrons were never necrons.
They were orks, this is now Waaagh! Kageros...
It was a ruse and you all have been duped
I hereby challenge Chazz's Waaagh! with my own...

It would certainly explain your tendency to crash ships into things for no other reason than because you like it.

So I guess no more Deathmark raids? Good writing, I enjoyed the beginning suspense.

Was that last bit about watching the stars just because I happened to blow up your engines one time? Man you hold a grudge. Also, leave my Eldar out of this, they're currently busy fighting 2BJ1 and his Iron Warriors

I will come and use BOTH my Nova cannons on "world destroyer" setting, that is the grudge I hold. Touch my ship and I give you to Slaanesh in a hand basket...

I kid, I kid.

How about this, my Eldar leave you alone and you leave us alone. Deal? I don't have enough ships to take on your giant feth-you ship, and I'd rather focus on the dastardly 2BJ1

Archarus is getting all sorts of popularity. Orks want his help with building stuff, I got asked to join a necron alliance, and Eldar want to see his head on a pike. It's nice for him to get the recognition he deserves.

You better watch it. The only stable route is through a Slaneesh infested planet. You'd have to blow that up or conquer it to get through, and then get in range of the literal planet version of the death star.

Considering Nova cannons are explosive warheads primarily and I can fire one shot from each gun that can individually kill a planet at the cost of making the guns unusable for the time being and gimping my own power capacitors, I would say it would be very dead

No ship can get close enough to actually get inside the gun. You've got a whole damn fleet and a powerful frontal shield to get through

This is why it's hypothetical but entertaining.

Put up a small blurb about the Eldar's reaction to 2BJ1's attack. The Eldar are now looking for friend's in this sector, who's up for it? (Sorry Kharne, but not you, Eldar and Necrons don't mix and you're already friends with my DE possibly)

And he's friends with the person you're hunting. That's be an awkward meeting, wouldn't it?

Quite. It feels odd to play both sides. Maybe I shoulda just stuck to good or evil. Oh well.

I don't know. I brought in my Histans to counter my evil. So far it's working out, then again, the first decent bit I did with them was today.

I mean, my Necrons could be the good guys if the Imperium would just let me in
My web grows larger, every evil player that joins will probably join my coalition.
Now, about those Orks...

Well my death korps have slip firmly into lawful evil.

Things are grim on krieg....

If I might make a suggestion, as of late our crusade has started to lack somewhat in the way of unity. For those of us who have been part of the crusade since Gallor Prime and those of you who took the time to read the events of Gallor prime (I thank you if you did) recall having a single event that unified the crusade, now we are spread across the Charrdon sector. What I suggest is that we attempt to create another crusade unifying event. Something that would pool all our forces together, because I personally feel like a lot of the actions we have been taking have not had any real effect on each other. Again speaking personally, I really liked it when we had cross player character interaction like when the Templars and Ultramarines teamed up to hunt down that ork biker or those epic battles where Ultramarines and Novamarines teamed up to try to rescue a general. But since most of our characters are deployed on completely different worlds we lost a lot of those epic team up moments. So let e know what you guys think, if you'd prefer something like this or just simply continue on as is.

As for what these events could be a few thoughts come to mind. The most obvious being the nid invasion, a horde of xenos our advancing upon the imperials quickly and it can only be halted if the imperials band together to face it, not sure where that would leave the xenos and chaos players however. Or I’m not sure what happened to Ezra and the Remnants but he had some pretty interesting things a brewing last we heard from him. Harvested DNA from our acting captain, and the entire Death ravens chapter being held hostage. Any how sorry for the long wordy post, I'd like the opinion of the rest of you guys on this and to discuss possible plot points that would make for an epic crusade unifying event, if that is the route we would lime to take.

Oh also would anyone be interested in bringing back the mission lists that we had for Gallor Prime, I liked them but I also don’t want to stifle on anybody else’s creative vision.

It was fun, Il have to bring my forces back more to middle

Made great character development, like how karak and our acting captain earned each others respect

Getting something to unify the crusade would be pretty cool, and now I have a force that can actually take part in it.

We have a giant invasion....

Work up to a strike vs its giant chomand ship?

Or that one epic battle where I sat on my thumbs guarding a hive city! Great times they were indeed.

Eh, I'm now guarding the warp passage...we all have thumb sitting time.

Its not most interesting task.

I also concur with this. The Hybrid forces I brought in are pretty much an example of this, trying to bring a unifying event. I am thinking of having a massive surge from them, with each player having to roll to deal with the initial first wave. More events would occur within, with smaller subgoals. In fact, I'll try and add this all in now.

The Nid invasion is what inspired me to unite the xenos/chaos factions, we just need to negotiate and solidify our own blockade

PMs sent to all participants, to my knowledge. If you didn't receive one, just send me a number and I'll get your result for the defence.

Ok, got it and replied.

Il head to new threat and stop guarding the passage area as no one ever came out....

Of course once I go....

When are you planning on holding that council meeting Smudge? Julius has plenty of experience to pass on to the others.

I suppose I'll have to make up a character to speak for the Histans. Colonel is probably too low of a rank for that.

Karak would like to join this council, and maybe my senior Chaplain Vargos who was serving on the Planet vs the mosters first hand.

Of course, I'll invite an envoy from each Imperial force to attend.

My Masters of the Forge and Master of Sanctoty have been waiting to speak to the leaders, so a meeting is perfect

Well, Smudge had mentioned to me in a PM that since Julius and his company had been getting so much experience against the hybrids in space (read: not dying and managing to kill them) that he would be summoned to a council at some point to speak.

Marshall karak may have too don his finest Terminaitor plate for this one lol, seems a rather formal event .

Oh i forgot Acting Marshall Ivan who was on thee ground with Julius and Vargos.

I am assuming Gallus is going, as well?

Tempestor Prime is pretty much Colonel as far as Scions are concerned.

Ok, then Colonel Detta will be speak for the Histans.

If all goes to plan, tomorrow shall see the arrival of some Chaos

My guys are meant to hold positions the Striders grab, so they really don't mind burning down a forest or 500

Bob prefers to be stealthy, thus why I'm fighting him in shadow warfare with my DE, much more entertaining.

I would say wait, so we can all see at one time

Yes please, the wait is too hard and I want to know if anyone dies so I can give up their names

I could go either way. Got an eight-hour drive tomorrow, so as long as I hear back before then, it'll give me something to do on the trip.

I'd say wait so everyone can get them.

Not going to do anything to Julla, as for comms, planet wise or is it more localised? I've already had my dudes do a bunch of planet->ship calls, but I guess we can wing it using Valkyries.

I would say the Jamming is a local occurance, thus taking out a few bases may drop their ability to jam

I posted the "Ryus just mind-fethed every psyker in my fleet" part of my campaign

Because I can't quite keep to a single thing going per day I added another blurb, this time dealing with Gallus and the Deep.

I like how I'm pretty much almost unaffected by the Tyranid Hive Mind

I like how They would just eat you anyway

I like how everyone got 'The Deep has come'-seizures after the Sorcerer took a psychic attack to the face

Also, curious that no-one's commented on the fact that Petra's baby is apparently being protected by a higher force...

Maybe Petra is a psyker, or the baby is...

Also, I only felt it realistic to continue "The Deep has come" because it hit your psyker, thus hit my psykers too...

I hope you're happy with your rolls. I eagerly await your write-ups on this.

God-Emperor be praised!

My poor Histans. As soon as they show up they get mauled. I guess someone has to share the burden?

And stop that look, TS. My Histans aren't low enough in number to consider joining the New Order.

I actually came out of this ok. I lost a fair number of serfs who were crewing the ships by the sound of it. But I held them back, and that's what counts.

Next time I use the Nova cannons which are designed to kill Nids and Orks... Cyclonic torpedos are OP

Can someone else help defend against Mall? My Histans had to get the feth out of there. It's almost funny, in a sad way, that my Histans went from sitting around getting hammered as they waited for something to do to getting torn apart and asking for help.

Well I'm heading west soon so maybe b2j

I am about ready to salvage what I can from Julla and pull out. Too costly to fight on a planet while defending in the void, plus Bob just got his scions wrecked...

Maybe this means Bob will be too weak to go after my DE...

"FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETH" - The Sorcerer

The Remnants are getting their asses kicked, it seems

By the way, what about my Death Ravens? You didn't include them in the list, but then again, I only supplied you with one number... how do we fix that little problem?

I think we forgot they exist.... Again.....:-(

The Death Ravens were at the rear of the Crusade fleet, thus didn't get enough action to be worth noting

Small blessing that I only had a hundread men down Julla, they're all dead tho, except Section 3, which was getting the Tau prisoner out and the intel out, So that leave 7 survivors with a few wounded men. It also means I've lost most of my forest combat specialists.

Could've been worst, if it wasn't for the DEldar attack, I'd have Valkyries down there as well.

 War Kitten wrote:

We'll see what's the outcome of the meeting is.


Edit: And the fog couldn't really choke the Scions, they can fight in Void combat when they are in full armor, which they always are.

But not everyone walks around with their helmets on and even those who do dont have an infinite amount of air

For anyone who's force didn't get numbered and wants to have their force take part (either to die or gain glory), I'll roll a different number, and PM me a number to see how well you do. Of course, you don't have to. But if the Death Ravens wish to be participants, I'll take them on.

Bobthehero wrote:And the fog couldn't really choke the Scions, they can fight in Void combat when they are in full armor, which they always are.

They wear full, heavy, carapace armour when sleeping, eating, urinating, so on? I kinda doubt that. Especially when they themselves believe they are safe in their underground bunkers.
Also, this fog has proven to be unaffected by guard issue rebreathers, as evidenced by the Kagrenz conflict, either by altered molecular structure, psychosomatically induced asphyxiation, or just spess magic.

Il add my chunk when i feel better. So Karak needs a dream, Baby name, and Battle vs the monsters

simples

I have to do a write up for all 3 of my factions. 2 draws and a major victory

Well, the fog surrounded most of a cruiser and seeped into it. I'm pretty sure if the fog itself can't get to you then the claws capable of tearing through power armor will.

I'll have to take on these fog monsters, Jackal inbound

I've been meaning to ask, but the main topic is daunting as hell; is it still okay to join in?
I was going to originally drop a well equipped Rogue trader and a few cohorts in, but by the time I came back to read through, it seemed like the train was already well out of the station.

I'm not around too often to sit and write, so someone out to turn a buck on the mess being made seemed like fun.

Welcome, don't worry we are apcepting of new comers

The train always has another cart still in station. Man, that was a crappy way to expand on an expression. I saw you ask if you could drop in an Inquisition spot on like page 2, and wondered if you'd ever do anything on that.

Anyway, welcome aboard, it seems like the Imperium can get as many hands on deck as it can get. Storms are brewing, and the deep has come.

That we are. I'd be happy to take you on, just send me a PM when you're interested.

I like how I picked the number that was rolled, it is indeed a good day.

Ezra, I forgot to ask you, how would you feel about joining my Coalition? If you want to you can retreat to Voor'Han, I'm not sure where you are though.
WK, I'm rolling to see if I can help cover your DE's retreat to Voor'Han for negotiations.
EoN, I'm going to send a message to your Lord about joining the Coalition.
2BJ1, I'm also going to send a message to Archarus about meeting up on Voor'Han.
Ashiraya, you should also join the Coalition, we could really use the GS help.

I have picked Voor'Han as the coalition meeting place due to my roll against the Nids, it should be pretty safe.

If anyone else wants to join the Coalition let me know.

Haha, trains make for terrible metaphors it seems.
I'll drop a PM when I'm back from travelling around, what sort of info would be helpful?

Nature of force
Maybe a rough idea of your main objective
Rough guildeline of force, ships, named charecters

Nothing too detailed, a sketch if you will.

Anyone else get a kick out of 'how the deep has come' might just become a new slogan for this campaign? Of course, it's easier for us to jest about it since we don't actually have to worry about those beasts ripping us in half while fog surrounds us.

You're welcome for the morbid thought.

Good thought. I'll be sigging that quote now.

I'll have to think up names and check the old FFG RPG for dimensions/ship types, but basically it's a bit Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
The RT himself captains his main ship, which is fairly large (in RT terms, seem to remember they are smaller than imperial navy), his "fleet" are then a secondary medium vessel and a little scouting thing that hides at any given opportunity.
His objective would be to make money whilst pretending not to care what's going on around him. Charging refugees for safe travel, selling weapons, and defending/answering those in distress who may be able to pay well. Or at least that's what he says is the reason. If anyone finds out he's doing it out of a sense of duty or charity, he'd probably shoot them ironically.
Second vessel and most day to day runnings and real brains of the outfit would be handled by his seneschal and close crew.
The third ship certainly has people on it, and you're likely not cleared to know who (or I'm still thinking.). They're mostly bumming a ride and using the RT's hospitality whilst observing and reporting what's going on.

That sort of thing?

That's it, details can be exact ironed out later on :-)

I like it, a less military force would be in interesting concept to have in the crusade!

Got up my UM's POV regarding the Hybrid Assault. Hope you guys enjoy. Eldar and DEldar POV to come later.

My complete lack of knowledge about weaponry may be a factor.

Though to be fair, the larger RT vessels are 8-12 kilometres long and can contain their own IG regiments and fairly brutal lance and side weaponry. I just don't feel confident I can bs things I don't know about.

*knocks* Hello? I was told to come here... Warhammer 40k RP? Hmmmm... I may be a bit much to handle and my fluff has no anchor in the universe really. It would mainly be a single character at the start who gains power over time.

I also noticed some rolling going on... could you point me in the direction of the rules? I would like an idea of whats going on before I dive in at terminal speed.

10-12 Km is larger than my 8km battlebarge lol

8-10km at the most might make more high end estimates that fit better

*opens door to madness*
Hello and welcome to the Crusade of Fury OT thread. I'm Smudge, and I'll be your GM for this... adventure? Yeah, we'll call it that. The exits are here, here, and here.

PM me if you're interested in starting up.

So, rolling mechanics. Here for future record:

If you want to do an action (repairs, negotiations with NPCs, attacking, defending, etc), you choose a number from 1-100. I then randomly roll one, and the closer you are to my number, the more successful you are at that action.

I'll have my stuff up tonight at some point in time.

I think ours was about six and we replaced the torpedoes with crew reclamation facilities. We weren't exactly min maxing, haha.

Basically, this is a long-running thread following the progress of an Imperial Crusade. Each person here is playing with an army (or armies) and they are fighting for or against the Crusade. I have Eldar, DEldar, and Ultramarines taking part. I would recommend having an actual army taking part in the Crusade, as it makes it a little easier to work with (although you could be like BC who's bringing in a Rogue Trader). Feel free to PM our GM Sgt_Smudge to learn more.

I'm tempted to give this a go. Which side needs the most help at the moment?

Also I just started reading, what are the deep ones?

The Deep is basically spooky scary Tyranids send shivers down your spine. And the Xenos could use more people, however, I'd check with Sgt_Smudge first

Well, the Imperials have the most armies available, but they and the Chaos factions are both struggling the most at the moment I believe.

And I posted my part of the uneventful murder of space bugs

Is there a rough summary of current proceedings? I don't mind reading through, but it may take me a few days.

The Deep* are a collective of alien creatures which first appeared on Kagrenz. They share many qualities similar to a Tyranid Genestealer, but seem to be different in ways that grant minor psychic control over water vapour, resulting in their colloquial name of "Fog Creatures". However, no-one quite knows their origin or goals in the Crusade. All that is known is that they are a threat to every army in the sector.


*(who now by virtue of being a top quality meme of the thread, such as the italicization of the prefix Acting-Captain, will only ever be referred to in red text)


As for alignments, I really don't mind which faction you side with. I add in NPC forces as appropriate to balance things.

The closest thing we have to a summary is a TL;DR a few pages back in this thread.

Here's a rough summery of what's going on at the moment. Space Bugs are trying to nom every army present (and they've beaten the tar out of several of them). El Lord General has called a council to get all the Imperial Factions to just get along for once. Oh, and romance is blooming over on the Eldar side of things, just ask TS

My Delegation is:
Captain Julius (in MKIV plate)
Librarian Veho
Tactical Squad Salonius

Il try and write my bit up Sunday, I seem to only write a garbled mess right now so

And my delegation is
Karak (in full catapracti plate)
Vargos. (greatsword,full regalia, skull helm etc)
Honour guards ulf (you know him), sentinal. (power halbard, honour guard leader)

On the Eldar side?

Fam, we got love everywhere.

A Commisar and a Captain of the Guard (Female knight badass who kind of went soft now that shes preggers)

A Judge (Bastard child of a Space Marine Captain and Chaplain) and a priestess. Mostly a communal thing, no physicalities.

An Inquisitor and her Wyches (Not going to explain it farther than this. 2 NSFW, 4 me)

An Autarch and a Farseer

The list continues

But no, that's sweet.

Don,t worry, I was going to have her mess up some of the guard who are kinda loyal to pavus who interrupt her baby naming momment then relax in the observatory (still got badass in her). Next chunk when I can write properly

My delegation will be

Tempestor Prime Gallus Tauron, with plasma pistol, powerfist w/ command squad, all equpped with either plasma guns or melta guns

Tempestor Secundus Riley Enoch, he's got a customized hellgun with a grenade launcher and a power knife, he's got his own command squad, once again, all equipped with either plasma guns or melta guns.

Yes, I trust my allies, why do you ask?

Oh yeah, did you get a name for her by the way? **fingers crossed as for my choice**

My delegation is Inquisitor Raela and... um... thats it?
