Iron... Hands... Descendants...

So like 4 per company

I think in the Clan Raukaan supplement you could bring up to 3 Techmarines for each HQ choice.

Have you come up with your chapter at all?

Relics? Bah, it takes away the fun of the hunt. Besides, there's nothing left to eat if you bomb it from the sky.

Almost

What do you have then?

I'm using them more for transport then actual fighting

Tactical_Spam wrote:What do you have then?

Command, 8 Tac squads, 4 Termie Squads, 2 Assault Squads, and 2 Dev Squads. Assorted transport aircraft, only 4 gunships

It comes down to 2 companies with less than 200 people

Fluff, Kharne, what fluff do you have done?

No, it was the deadline for submission of intent and rolls for it. Stop rushing.

I'm still waiting on a small piece from Smudge so I can wrap up and head out.

BC's got it, it was my deadline for who is in the final battle. Thus far, I have:

Sgt_Smudge
War Kitten
jhe90
chazz huggins
2BlackJack1
Bobthehero
Tainted
Buttery Commissar
EvergreenArcher
Lazzamore
Kharne the Befriender

taking part. I don't know if I have numbers for all of these guys/gals, but I'll collate a list of what I have on the Sunday.

Also, regarding the final battle, do people object to me writing the overview of the battle? Or would people rather write their own bits to it?
If I do it, then I can get across a team aspect to it, but they ARE your dudes.
I'll wait replies.

(I haven't forgotten your piece, I'm going fairly big on it though. )

I'm OK with either. If you write an overview I could fill in gaps for my characters.

 2BlackJack1 wrote:

Yeah, it would only have been brief, then players can write about the aftermath from their perspective if they wish.

I'm fine with an overview. Only thing is I don't know if you can come up with a "team" aspect for my Eldar. They'll help the Imperium, but their first, last, and only priority keeping as many Eldar alive as possible

I'm fine with that.

And TS, I'll PM you my Chapter Fluff

Do I need to PM someone my fluff for my Knights or CSM? Or my squads?

Think it's more a fluff disagreement.

Mine, I only have a force org but named my main priests and wolf guard etc.

Wide range from floki, conan and such to Nordic and Viking.

Oh good. I'm still working on squad names.

@sgt_smudge - I don't mind an overview and then folk writes their takes/aftermath. Seems a good idea.

And no worries, I'm going to fiddle with the loaned psyker and Faurfax's recent roll, but that's stop and start around anything else happening.

@Kharne - what God are your CSM again?

They're worshippers (at least somewhat) of Malice/Malal I think. The god of anti-chaos

 War Kitten wrote:

God of anti-worship, not chaos. He likes anarchy. They are followers but they're not... Because if they were they would be worshipping

Because his number is 11

No Catch-22 is a book

I'm going to have to kill both of you to get you to stop arguing aren't I?

In which case I would really suggest you make your own lesser known god up. Get creative.
Because Mal' CSM kill other CSM, and other CSM seek them out with extreme prejudice.

And that's not "an interpretation", that's canon. You would not have bargained ships from Word Bearers because they would have murdered you very hard the moment you popped up.

I wouldn't seek you out on the map and nuke you, but you cannot expect to work with Emperor's Children or CSM who know who you are.

Very keen points. I'll look into other Gods

And WK, we're not arguing

You could always make your guys dedicated to Tzeentch... or Nurgle. Then we'd have 3 of the 4 Gods covered.

 Kharne the Befriender wrote:

I think it could be fun to make your own anarchy one like Malal. The big four are just the ones who get spotlighted. They're universe shapers, but there are definitely more than five gods.

As BC said, the big 4 get a lot of attention, and they cover a wide range of emotions, but you could probably fairly easily make your own god.

I'll be doing Necoho

Take all the stuff I did and replace Malice with Necoho and were golden. If this doesn't work then I'll do Tzeentch... But I'd have to rewrite stuff

Oh hello there, second faction. Glad you could finally drop by.
Unfortunately you won't get more than a cameo, due to your bus being so late.

Jhe I'm so sorry that I repeatedly forgot to do trading with you. I can sort that it have them go "oh, these dudes are busy", up to you.

So Necoho is retconned.
I'll either make my own Chaos God or I'll do Tzeentch( I think Nurgle is disgusting )

What kind of God would benefit the Grand Chaos War Union?

Well we have pride/improvement/lust and wrath/honor covered.
Leaves Sloth, Gluttony, Greed and Envy if you want to sin-base.

I'm fine with an overview Smudge, as long as we still have room to write our character's perspective in the events afterwards.

Okay, I'll set this here now, as I don't think that we'll get anyone else dropping in to the final battle now (but you still have time if you do!).

I'd like a number for each force in the final battle. A list of participants is going here:

Waaagh! Narlug - Evergreen Archer
Kageros Dynasty - Kharne the Befriender
Scion 85th - Bobthehero
Waaagh! Nox - chazz huggins
Faustians - chazz huggins
Black Templars - jhe90
Ultramarines 3rd - War Kitten
Craftworld Iybraesil - War Kitten
Tallarn 97th - Tainted
Rogue Trader House Fairfax - Buttery Commissar
Iron Warriors - 2BlackJack1
Histans - 2BlackJack1
Waaagh! Moganog - Lazzamore (NEEDS NUMBER)
Ultramarine 2nd - Sgt_Smudge
Cadian 13th - Sgt_Smudge

If you're on this list, and haven't given me a number for the last battle in this crusade, can you just give me one for each faction either via PM or in this OOC chat?
Thank you very much!

Number 53 I shall choose.

Swear I pmed you one

And finaly back, my friends ok, so that's one less worry

And does anyone find idea of a plasma carbine op or such.
Basicly a lighter plasma gun, range between gun and pistol.

Fires bursts of plasma pistol shots. Not power of plasma gun or range but more than pistol?

Glad to see things are turning up for you and your friend/s.

As a concept? Not too bad, but you may be hunted down by admech for tech-heresy? So, really, a 18" Assault 2 S7 AP2 Gets Hot weapon, to use the game terms?

Was thinking more a great crusade idea that was found to be too difficult to mass produce in amount needed and never was adopted as a main line item of weaponry , but remained in production at a low level as a higher power assault weapon at advanced ones like ryza.

Kind of good idea, but we cannot make them by the thousand easily weapons.

I'll go with 45 I guess.

Yep.

On a side note, I'm redoing my Warband, it's going to be Tzeentch based.

I'm going to use the 1d4chan warband generator so lets what I end up with

It seems I'll have to make a chaos warband if I want to see some Nurgle love next crusade. I'm still unsure what my second faction will be, but I have been putting off chaos because I wanted to do something new the second time around.

If you do Nurgle we'll have all 4 Chaos Gods and someone doing Chaos undivided

I can multirole if you want, but if someone's claimed Nurgle, I down with that.

If we can get a Nurgle player then I can make a Chaos Grand Alliance

Way to go guys, now I'm actually tempted to run Nurgle marines.

Come to the Chaos side, we have cookies

Pssh, I was chaos before it was cool. I have to admit, it's very tempting to do something involving my favorite chaos deity .

We have very good cookies on the Chaos side....

Fine. You've twisted my arm. (More like broke it, then lit it on fire, but whatever) Now I have to find some old Latin names for diseases and stuff, for puns with my names. On top of that, I still have to name my Kroot.

Welcome to the Chaos side. Are you surprised that we lied about having cookies?

Oh its fine. I'm just going to infiltrate cultists into every human force and let my diseases do the work. Then, at the peak of the chaos, march the army in and watch them worship us and beg for salvation from the diseases, thus pledging their souls to Nurgle.

..... Good thing I brought Knights as my human force....

So, TS mentioned underwater things, right? I'm thinking it'd be cool to have a toxic ocean city...

Hope you plan on bringing Land Raiders...

YES.

And my army is going to be semi-Tzeentch

Instead of the whole fates and change thing I'm going with the whole fire and lightning spiel

Here's another question, since my army is going to be fully mobile, what would be better. Sticking with the air transports or should I do ground transports?

I'd say stick with air. With how overgrown the local fauna is ground transports will have a great deal of trouble moving around. You would need vehicles that pretty much ignore the terrain (like my Knights), such as Land Raiders or Air transports.

Ok, so I'm going to reorganize my Chapter, I'll post here when I have the corrected list.

EDIT: Redacted for spooky scaryness

I'm bringing a Spartan,land raiders and some vindicators for sure. In part as bulldozers. Codex wise every of rhino and up can have a small dozer blade.

Any obscure engineering designs in space marine armoury?

You fool! The Loyalists weren't supposed to know about that yet!

My Kroot should be able to maneuver through it all just fine. Then again, they love that kind of stuff.

 War Kitten wrote:

But now they know that we are planning something! And knowing TS my secret plans will somehow be "revealed" to the Loyalists.

Hey guys, we may have someone who's interested in the new Crusade. You can see the premise of his (potential) army in the fiction thread (Emperor's Hounds). The next time he's online I'll see if he wants to introduce his army here as well.

Is he Chaos?

I probably won't have access to relic vehicles since the Astral Claws were founded post-heresy. Does anyone know if stormravens were around at the time of the Badab war?

Yeah, they were. Nothing really says that they weren't.

Not sure what relics I'm bringing. I have more leeway than some though as first founding chapter with one successor.

Who's to say the Red Corsairs haven't made a deal with the Dark Mechanicum for some relic vehicles? One or two would be fine. I plan on having a Typhon in my warband (and maybe a Fire Raptor)

Would people care if I had my Chapter built like a mini 30k legion? Like the 20 man tac squads and support squads?

I had an idea that I combine that kind of structure with Chaos people like Sorcerers and Lords and what not

EDIT: Message sent twice...

Alright, I've got a set of named characters for my Kroot, and also a description of them. I'm not sure of the war party's entire size, but I doubt many people are worried about what the birdies will do to their bases anyway.

Now I need to do stuff for my Nurgle army. First and foremost, I need a name for the warband in general. I was thinking of calling them the Brothers of Blight, or something like that.

Nice section as always Chazz. Pavus finally got what he deserved.

I have a question. So it's said that we can bring up to 2 company's worth of men.

Does this include the command that is out side the company's command wise?

I have 12 command overall that hopefully won't see combat. So would it be ok to have 100 marines in each company then the command?

I would have 212 people if this is the case, is that ok or should I shave people down?


Chazz, as a fan of George RR Martin myself, I don't think he could have written it that well, fantastic work.

Very nice, Ulf got a good showing!

Nice update Chazz. It was cool to see the Deep was a c'tan, and I'm happy to see the Histans didn't serve as the Emperor's Finest Meatshields in those battles.

Now time for my heroic finale chunk.

Shepard leaving as a lord chomander of a fleet, maybe a planet, hell of a promotion. I can work something good.

Reaper dead, ulf a hero, so funeral time, service for the fallen.

And finally a good bye, sector won, we set course for maggage.
And leave a chapter keep :-)

Hey, you're welcome to come to Macragge, Calgar would hail Karak as an honorary Ultramarine.

Maybe if I wait long enough, most of the Imperials will leave, then I can win over the Sector

Karak being the world's deadliest book worm was interested in the libiary also. It seemed a good way to round it off heading to maggage.

I never did much of it, but was a keen study of the formation of the second founding and end of legions.

So yeah, a codex studying templer.....

Hey guys, as some of you may know i have a custom space marine chapter that i would be interested in bringing into the new crusade. I just wanted to know the details of it if there is any, i also am toying around with bringing in some dark eldar but i will decide that later on. Thanks in advance

Jesus chazz, that must have taken forever. I thought my dialogue rambles were long. Well done dude.

The pedant in me is like "that's not how Commissariat works." but it's a good story, which is the point.

If I don't have your factions in the unofficial roster, can you PM me with their info?

Brilliant work chazz, I can respect how long that must have taken you to get right and set. I must admit, I loved the betrayal in the tunnels scene, very well done!

Note that the final battle is yet to come, with the remnant of the Imperial forces fighting to stop Archarus' advances.
Still all to play for.

Oh, I already do feel inadequate. I just try and continue with what I get and finish what I start.

We're still waiting on the GM's to give us the background of the planet for the new Crusade, but basically, Imperial forces are clashing with Chaos and Xeno forces over this planet, the moon, and the space station in orbit. You're free to bring in whatever you want, the Imperial vs. Xeno/Chaos ratio is fairly even at the moment

So Jhe somehow convinced me to have one of my Knights honor duel the head of his Auxilia. Should we hold the duels on the planet? Or on a ship?

Oh shush. Both your work and your roll prompts are stellar.

I wish I could master brevity. I can do dialogue, but Garth telling Edward to stop talking for once was fair indication that even I'm sick of my inability to summarise.

Right now I'm just tossing up bits to flow along until Smudge gets time to do stuff.

Edit: Hey look, first blood.
Oh wait, it's my team hitting themselves, nvm.

Hitting myself is a particular specialty of mine. Don't feel bad BC

 War Kitten wrote:

Especially with Berzerkers

I'm waiting for a signal from Smudge to let loose Archarus and his hounds onto the crusade. That should be fun enough, for all parties involved. Of course, Archarus is polite enough to allow any other non Endtimes plotlines get finished first, as that wouldn't be right to do that to anyone. (Smudge, I'm sorry for not asking about it, I just figured I would wait until I got a green light for it)

I will probably write up a more specific PoV for the Histans and the hybrids in the meantime.

What you don't know 2BJ, is that my Eldar are just waiting for you to reveal yourself. Then we're going to try and wreck you. Hard feelings intended

What you don't know is that the Iron Warriors have already slipped past the Dracarian and have virus bomb aimed at several planets. Have fun waiting.

That's fine. They're human worlds. You act like the Eldar give 2 feths about that. Jokes on you buddy

You might care if I leave some Eldar bodies lying around some of those planets. It just might make some Imperials want to go after the Eldar instead. One last gift, for your loyalty and tenacity towards Archarus.

I mean, the Imperials already want to kill me. That literally does nothing. We'll just have to see what happens. I think you underestimate the power of a full Warhost my friend

2BlackJack1 wrote: What you don't know is that the Iron Warriors have already slipped past the Dracarian and have virus bomb aimed at several planets. Have fun waiting.

Your welcome

And perhaps I can send some Canoptek goodies your way to help out?

Well that's the thing, your Eldar could become priority number one, once the hybrids are gone. You haven't done much to make the Imperials mad besides crash their party once, but seeming to have bombed the planet's they just put sweat and blood into? That's a different story.

Well, after Archarus peaces out of here, so are the Eldar. They have no reason to stay after he's gone. So they can be mad at me all they want, I'll be long gone

Alright. For those of you who wish to observe the honor duel between my Knight and TS's, here's how it's going to work. We are going to blast a giant clearing into the forest, and then have the duel. At some point during this event, one of my other Knights, or one of TS's Knights (in their suit) is going to go shoot the gak out of whoever Kharne sent to observe the event. Immediately afterward I'm probably having an honor duel with Jhe's Auxilary leader. If any of you wish to do a write up of the event, you can have your representative meet with some of the other Imperial leaders, or just enjoy the event in general. If any of you have more specific questions about the duel, or whatever else, let me or TS know

Can I have him run into the forest while being shot at, then have a Night Scythe pick me up quickly?

I'm talking to TS about it. Right now the current thought is for a Knight Errant to be standing directly behind your Necrons during the whole thing, and then to blast you to kingdom come. (or back to be re-animated, whatever works)

Well. This is what you get when you try to observe a Knightly duel when you're uninvited and oblivious. You get stomped on by a Knight, or blown up by a Thermal Cannon

Reanimation Chambers it is!

I presume the Kroot, while not entirely invited, would get better treatment? They tend to be good at sticking a foot in the door, after all.

And what if the necron is just oiling himself to maintain proper maintenance? (No, BC. A different type of oiling than the Trisburg way.)

Oh sure, you'd get better treatment. Mostly because we like you more than we do Necrons.

Squad morale restored!

Lol, I almost spit out my coffee at that Trisburg comment

Now I'm not sure which type of introduction I want my Kroot to have with the Imperials. (Before they get down to business, of course)

1) Act like it's nothing special to watch a Knight duel, maybe even offer someone a drink. Not only that, but even fake that they expected they were invited to it in the first place.

2)Show up somewhat late and feign that the gue'la racket woke them up, and they were just checking out the new neighbors. (Of course, this would be the first time the set foot on the planet, as they picked up news of an Imperial Crusade on the planet and decided to check it out for hopes of a job opening)

I really like the 1st one

I like them both, but the first one is more likely to result in you taking a thermal cannon to the face.

Hmm, maybe I could tone the presumptive nature of the first one a tad. They'd mostly be playing off of people's shock at seeing them, but Ta'lok would know when to cross the line. He wouldn't be very keen on watching his kindred get blown to bits before his very eyes.

Which might be a possibility... Especially with my other faction.

That does complicate things, to say the least. I'd suggest they watch from afar, maybe in some trees, depending if there is anything on the area, and drop in on an Imperial commander Ta'lok deems as sensible, if I won't be able to have an upfront meeting with the Imperials as a whole. It's dangerous territory to tread in, but I'd like the Kroot to get the word spread that they're looking for employers.

And TS, you can add that I'm doing a Nurgle warband as well. I'd PM you info, buts it's very, very WIP.

When is that knight duel's supposed to happen, 1st or second Crusade?

 Bobthehero wrote:

Second

Ah, different reaction, in that case

So, they'd probably draw their guns, but not shoot on sight? I can work with that.

You could turn up with me (or moments after). A RT is easily the most excusable entity to be working with Kroot, and wouldn't get shot on sight. I don't think there's anyone in attendance who'd be silly enough to start a fight with a RT over mercenary Xenos.

It could even be that Fairfax/Ed don't know you, and just feel you ought to get a fair hearing. They are master fast talkers by trade more than anyone else. Need to be.

My space wolves will be there. Taking a chance to judge everyone.

Less shoot on sight, more distrust. Kroot are considered a xeno, but not a tyranid or ork.

TS, I'm not talking to-the-day, but could we get a how long in years? It would greatly change who my crew is.

BC, either one of those ideas would work quite well. Hopefully they can help convince others that they would profit from hiring the Kroot. Of course, that's rather optimistic since I'm dealing with Imperials. I think it'd be hard to get someone to hire them first, since no one wants to start the heresy train. (Excluding the RT, of course. They are allowed to consort with xenos as part of their jobs)

Rounded my Crusade off, anyone who wants top link in any events or departures may do so and good crusade

You're not sticking around for Archarus and his boys? They still will be coming, to have a climactic end to the crusade. (Now, I'm not saying the hybrid battles were anti climactic, because that was fantastic writing)

i thought that was the climactic end!

So i kind of wrote it as my ships took the tip pf the spear and where fairly damaged. so headed off to repair and recover.

Does not stop me still being here though as i set no date on the departure.... Loop holes

My ships shall leave as there damaged, and lost over a 3rd of my forces. i kinda assumed it was a vicious and climatic battle. Il leave room for some other characters to have the spot light as mine seem to have taken quite abit.

Hats off to you jhe. That was well done. I'll need to write up mine at some point

Il left things nicely open for you to do a ending with Julius.

Maybe the two meeting in the fortress of Hera or such?

well my fleet could leave, and soemone like Vargos could return with the Ultramarines?

It was a climactic battle, but that was a cue for Archarus to begin his own crusade. There's a few things that need to be wrapped up first, namely Trisburg, but I'm not in any hurry to begin the final battle. Of course, I'll do it once the time comes, but I'm not trying to pressure people to rush anything. That's counterproductive.

Also, would it be too much to ask for one last gathering of the Imperials after the smoke settles? Maybe pass some drinks around, have some laughs. Of course, I don't think everyone would be laughing, since some people would probably want to leave the crusade behind as soon as possible, what with how it went for them.

Yeah, My fleet leaving could be moved in time frame,. its fairly open so yes, i can be here, or i can be headed to maggage dpending on how people want it.

il keep that chunk up though, as its a nice chunk

If you want me to stay a tad longer for stories sake i can.

sounds fun, the last drinks of the worlds most passive agressive allies/

It was a very good chunk you wrote. I'd say it's up to you for who stays and goes. They're your guys, so do what you want with them.

il stick with it and leave on a high then. Story wise im leaving because of serious battle damage and my ships have entire chunks vented to void or up to 8 deck deep acid burns etc. I put them at the tip of the spear for Templers sake I can leave honorably.

let the other Crusaders have some lime light and gives me time to try and get my Space wolves ready for the new one.

Then I'll see you in the crusade. In the meantime, I'm writing up my Histan PoV for the hybrid hunting, so that should be added soon.

Ph I'm on next when we go currently namin my grey hunter packs.
Done long fangs, and charecters. Got my various blood claws and thunder wolfs ro go.

I've got my set of Kroot characters named, as in the ones that will be seen more than anyone else. I might still throw in the new character every now and then, but they won't be as major as the set I have. I need to do just about everything for my Brotherhood of Blight, though.

Yeah, what will happen to the world's least sociable commisar

...Can we have one week where I'm not sigged for something about anuses?

Have you seen Nicorex's sig?

In all honesty I'd worry more about Fairfax. He's just had a major failure of a roll regarding killing the infected guard. I rolled to see if he could make the decision, and he failed so badly that if the troops find out he may end up deserted or hung.
And oh look, Ed had a hissy fit in front of everyone and outed his decision.

I didn't really think that through, if I'm entirely honest.

Do it

If you're going to sig me every time I talk about asses, you're going to run out of room very quickly.

And yeah, I may have just accidentally mutineed my crew after Smudge said Fairfax would be fine as long as nobody knew.
And I don't mean "teehee, whoops!" I mean I genuinely forgot that it could happen before writing.

We'll see.

To be fair you do het award for first non xeno heretic, weird gay couple enterants to couples crusade.

TS, that's one was just odd!

I'll put that award next to the trophy Nicorex made me for most times sigged for [NSFW reasons].
Yes that's real, and no, I can't post photos of it here.

That said, seeing as Selka has (will have?), and loves a wife and kids, I'm gonna go ahead and say he's batting for both teams. Also hating both teams. He has a lot of anger to share evenly.

Seriously lol, they made a trophy! You must be proud.

Agh, so universes angriest commissar.

Yeah, just clarifying in case anyone else is a little confused by how that turned out:

The Imperium launched an attack on the Hybrids, as a last ditch attempt to stop them. The Imperium are victorious, but Archarus takes the Imperial absence as a chance to emerge from the warp and go on a slash-and-burn campaign through the undefended Imperial territories.
That was to be the final battle, hence me asking for two sets of numbers.

However, I can always say the Black Templars pulled out due to heavy losses. However, the Faustians are still in the battle, only under Sheppard's command?

So, there's another bit to come, involving all factions still in. I'll write an overview of what happens, and seeing as I have all numbers in, I can roll and get a winner right now! Of course, I won't post it until everyone's plot arcs are resolved, but I will begin writing it up.

2BlackJack1: Yes, you may write a section for Archarus coming out and beginning his slash-and-burn campaign, I was hoping you'd just do it anyways.

jhe90: Well written, albeit early. Still, would you like me to say the BT have left early due to casualties/damage? And are the Faustians still in system?

I think after 2BJ1 writes his Slash and Burn blurb I'll write one for Kageros' march to war. Then one after the results are pooled to finalize the Crusade

Alright Sarge, I'll get on that attack. I'll still wrote up for my Histans and the Hybrids. There were far too many Starship Troopers references to pass down.

That's fine, yeah thinking for some reason was the last I added 100 dead, more wounded and my ships kinda having chunks that lack oxygen and deep acid wounds.

Fausteens are, but now Shepard has taken control of the forces alongside Petra and is defacto lord commissar general/fausteen governor when he returns by lack of of anyone else left to do it. Fausteens are still in the fight. With whatever is left after the ground battles.

Okay, I've done the roll, but there are two issues.

First, it's a draw, with equal values. (Both are 7 apart from the number rolled.)

Second, one of my own factions is in the draw.
To avoid allegations of rigging, I'll ask if anyone wants a reroll, or if they're okay with this?

Hmm, that is quite the problem. I'm curious what a draw would entail, as you said it yourself that there can only be one winner. Perhaps a reroll would be best, to achieve just that?

I agree, re-roll it

If anyone needs to write a reaction, mine are out due to loss,s and ships that got badly bio acided etc and need a few months repair at maggage docks.

I kinda broke them :(

Consensus reached, reroll occurring

Now I'm going to feel bad if your forces get screwed over Smudge. I want to have only one winner, but the downside is that the previous winners might get blindsided with a major defeat now.

Actually, the reroll was very close to the original, enough to decide a winning faction out of the original two. However, seeing as the faction this person fought for just underwent a change in leadership and loyalty, I'll need to consult the leader of the faction.

Hmm, this could get interesting

And the suspense rises...

The plot thickens...

So, either Jhe or EvergreenArcher won, then. They both swutch loyalites, since Sheppard now runs the Faustians, and EvergreenArcher submitted his WAAAAGH Nox's command. At least, those are my guesses at it, I could be completely off. I'll probably be wrong, just so I can look like an idiot.

I can't sleep until I find out what happens to my Necrons

Sylus and Annala are confirmed for the next Crusade. They won't be on the pile

I was joking, I'm not killing off anyone who doesn't want to be killed. I'm also leaving it to Smudge on who dies, I don't know who wants to be kept alive and who is OK with dying. It's better to leave it to the GM, as he's the one who gets the last word.

it is Couple's Crusade related. I will say no more beyond that

I hope it still works after what I'm doing with Archarus. You can still have your glory with the Knife-ear, but it isn't exactly what you're expecting, that I can say. And I'm going to leave it to Smudge on who dies by Archarus, since he's going to be writing the response to Archarus showing up AFAIK. I'm just setting him up for it.

As long as Lilliana is still alive after whatever the feth you're doing then it's fine. And as long as you don't take her prisoner (which is more of a personal request at this point)

Don't worry, WK. Lilliana isn't about to drop dead or end up like some of her kindred. (I'm not sorry about that, though. I needed something to fuel that ship. How else was I going to kill Jaws? ) Besides, you're barking up the wrong tree. Smudge will be the judge, jury, and executioner for characters. I'm just setting him up.

And Kharne, what about them?

I'm not worrying. It's just that the way you were talking about the End-times seemed to be implying that bad things might happen to Lilliana, despite you saying you wouldn't kill/maim the leaders of those who requested to not be killed/maimed. You can go fight Julius if it makes for a cooler story.

What if they re-emerge and that's the force you use for the next Crusade? There were a size able amount.

I'm just going to leave that sort of stuff to Smudge, WK. I don't feeling like rewriting my addition, it already has a nice feel to it, methinks.

And Kharne, are you sure you'd want that? They'd be resentful against you sending them to a chaos lord, and then you didn't even put proper care into them getting there. If I were in their spot, I'd be royally upset, and that'd be putting it nicely.

I'd be really fine with it actually. I think it'll be fun

Fair enough then.

I thought you were planning on hiring the Kroot? They wouldn't want to work for someone that sends them to a bloodthirsty warlord who can count how many good deeds he's done on one hand, and then they end up lost in the warp, trying to find a way out. You truly have a mind more complex than my own if that's fun to you.

This isn't a complaint, because it's been fun.

The little updates aren't me slowing you down, I'm trying to get as much as I can done so you're not waiting on the other end of that. My exit to go help is written.

Gotta say, and again it's been hilarious so I don't mind: without the rolls and responses from smudge as GM, my entire input in this crusade so far is to go and look at a planet and then punch myself in the face. So I'm sorry anyone waiting for me - A lot of the Trisburg stuff has been me coming up with responses to npc social failures, or writing my own bits and pieces, and I just plain runneth dry of ideas for self harm.
That's why I've been slow as all get-out.

The only reason why I have no updates is that I have very little to talk about. Chazz already covered the Hybrid Assault, and I have very little to add onto that, so unless you want Julius musing in his quarters.... Although I suppose I could do some stuff for my Eldar for the Couple's Crusade

Seeing as how you're the only human who won't be tempted to shoot my army, my Kroot could set up camp by you. (Quite literally, I'm sure someone even packed marshmallows). Plus my initial starting location has been removed, so my Kroot are homeless.

And don't feel bad about that BC. I've got some stuff I want to wrap up for my Histans, but I'm also trying to get the Archarus intro done so people aren't waiting on me to do their stuff.

My Knights won't shoot you, or even be tempted to. My Knights are a little more diplomatic then that... Now Kharne's Necrons on the other hand...

Renegades and Heretics are technically Chaos...

Again, I hope that didn't come across as a 28mm violin, I was just trying to say that basically you're not all waiting on me to stop hugging my commissar and punching my own captain. I'm just writing because there's time, not the other way around.

That said, and I'm entirely serious, I'm not about making people uncomfortable. Apart from with Marcus.
Said hugging is intended to be sincere, but I'm not ever going to breach that level of description/implication. At this point if you have string suspension of disbelief it can actually still read as bromance.
I kinda wish I lived in a world where fictional commissars hugging other dudes weren't at odds with other people's morals, but such is life, and a community fiction really isn't the place to nail that issue down.

Sent you a PM about the Kroot.

Firgot to say thogh, your Histans are literally the only force my guys met, so I told Smudge if we were near one another at the end, I'd likely act as a buffer for you.

Community fiction is where we nail out everything...

Community fiction is where the Couple's Crusade happens

Hmm, I've got some plans for how to spread my Nurgle love around. Some suggest you watch the skies? Me, I think you'd might want to dig a little deeper than that...

(And yes, that's as best as I can get at cryptic. We'll that, and the little rhyme I did with Mordos as I shipped him over to BC. That actually was a reference to something to could happen in the crusade.)

Mordos is relatively sane during his work because I view the psyker focus as a discipline, plus he was working on a commissar, which probably means his man parts were retracted into his chest cavity in fear the entire time.

I want to put him and Marcus in a room (and may yet do).

By all means, have the crazy man hang out with that oil rag. Who knows, maybe Mordos has a hidden talent for pyromancy as well.

Not sure what crazyness coming but always a interesting read bc. The mad governor, worlds angriest commissar and more.

By the way, you probly should have a large cargo of mushrooms back soon. The trade was a while ago. Got rolled into a chunk because of picking up pace I think.

Progress report: Almost done with my slash and burn update, but I'll probably run it past Smudge first, since I feel like he would assume the heads up, and prepare accordingly when he writes the finale.

Good ascension writeup, took his time in ascending to Daemonhood.

Where in the Warp did Krykk'ryk'yyk feth off to?

Still there, to my knowledge. Just not mentioned there.

Now I just need to figure out what my Eldar and Marines are doing now

Great stuff, Blackjack.

And in advance: Goddamn it, Marcus.

I'm going to need 2 bolters for this heresy.......

He's hanging around with Keb'hal right now, TS. I just didn't have him mentioned, but don't worry, your daemon friend is still kicking.

And WK, I'm not sure if two bolters will be enough to banish Archarus to the warp. Perhaps you could try to run a battle barge into him?

Don't tempt me. I will crash my one big ship on his head if I have to

EvergreenArcher has a gargant I'm sure he'd be kind enough to donate. Right after the Histans take Narlug's head for making them waste time on Novus Regulus and deal with those nobles.

Is Archarus going to try and kill my Necrons after we beat the Imperium?

Also, I'll be typing up my bit on the Necrons prepping for waaag- I mean war

Anyone who doesn't want to have the final part Archarus will have in the Crusade spoiled, don't read ahead.

I think it's been decided without saying the Archarus will eventually lose these battles, and die fighting. I've accepted and expected this since I first added him to this crusade. However, I took measures to avoid him actually dying, and a daemon prince ascension adds just that much more to how climactic his finals moments will be. As a daemon prince, he can't actually be killed here, but banished into the warp. So he is effectively immortal. To answer your question Kharne, I don't think you'll have to worry about it.

Sounds good ending. And despite all the battle and death, only banished not slain.

Do we need grey knights ?

No more ramming anything thank you.
I now have to fit a garage door.

Only the left side of his head. Narlug likes his right side. As for the gargant, if you would like a very angry big mek on your tale for the rest of your life, go for it.

I've decided I'm not going to write my little "To war!" blurb

I'm thinking of writing up Lilliana getting a vision of Archarus' ascension and the Eldar mobilizing for all out war, Phantom Titans and everything. We spare no expense to kill 2BJ1

New crusade? Simple map with a plethora of hungry factions vying to devour every square kilometer?

*tosses chips onto the table*

I'm in.

Welcome brother. The Chaos Super Friends Alliance (tm) welcomes you!

In Evergreen's case, devouring every square kilometer is a literal objective for them. Me? I'll try turn it to mush and acid before he can get that far.

More biomass to consume in my conquest. Welcome aboard. If you would like to hop into the reclamation pools early, they are on your right.

Just so long as I can stop by the gift shop for my "Exterminatus This" t-shirt.

That's it Evergreen. Threaten a member of the Chaos Super Friends (tm)? I'll have to take your Hive Tyrant's head for this

It wasn't threatening... just gentle persuasion. With rending claws. And bioacid don't forget the bioacid.

Gonna have to take your head twice now. Keep it coming Evergreen.

I vote that we make his Hive tyrant have three heads. It shall be code named "Cerberus"

How about I use the duct tape to tape your chainaxe to the floor! Can't cut that can you! ... oh ... wait ... How about I blow up the planet so you can't chop his head off! That would work!

If you could manage to do that while an enraged Berzerker is trying to claw his way down your throat and rip out your spine I'd be amazed. And go ahead, blow up the planet, none of my guys are there.

No one needs planets anyways. And my hive tyrant has three heads. Two shall hold the arms and my arms shall hold his legs, and then I would hire one of 2BJ1's kroot to do the job for me. Diplomatic Tyranids all the way.

I was thinking this Hive Tyrant would be a monster among Hive Tyrants...

Ah, but you forget one thing my friend. I have LOTS of Berserkers. You may be able to stop one, but can you stop 100 Berserkers all at once??

Easy. I would grow more heads. One for each limb.

Hell I could stop 100 zerkers with 10 Scions and a Valkyrie, easy, just have the Valk hover thirty or so meters above the Zerkers and pew pew them

If this is the fluff, the Berzerkers' bolt pistols would down that Valkyrie.

Few hundred meters then, out of range of pistol, still in range of hotshots.

Your assuming no one has jump packs . only need one.

Priority target, shoot the biggest threats out and then kill the rest
