Yes, it was given a funeral that went along with the customs of the Ancient Terran vikings: It was placed upon a raft, set ablaze, and then set to drift downriver on its way to the hereafter.

It would have wanted it that way.

Sir how often will the sniper team be deployed?

Graduated with top honors. Heck before joining the 22nd I was a PDF on my homeworld.

every battle at the moment. at the expense of a russ, the ogryns have finally arrived- we thought them lost in the warp, but altzer has inspected them and found them free of taint.

123-Pilot Kerrick-Oh good. So they won't break out in a murderous rage and kill us all...

Grow alfalfa too?

Well of course they need an alfalfa patch for the rabbits! (Now I will always think of Ogryns as Lennie! )

Well then, i suppose the commissariat was unneeded against the orkish menace!

It was a good hat, a tough hat. When we went to light its funeral pyre, everything around the hat burned, but the flames left the hat unscathed. Everyone else was shocked, but I knew the real reason. Even in death, you can't touch a commissar's hat.

The startch's hat was possessed buy a demon!?

wow what happened to the rough riders? And I can't seem to find my character anywhere in the roster. Help?

123-Pilot Kerrick-We ran out of rations so we had to ration the horsies... ifit helps they were tasty... a bit tough but tasty.

Went well with secret source(anti-freeze).

Cryin shame the BBQ sauce did not arrive. Tough times when supply lines get cut.

To be fair we entertained the idea of hunting but decided it was safest to eat the horses.

I'm sorry for the loss of the RR, we had a regimental reshift due to hard times, and some names got lost in the warp... bloody servitors... i will re assign you what was your trooper name?

Trooper Chelkar. Put me into an infantry squad, if you please, sir.

Sorry Chelkar, blame the servitors! i will put you back into place.

Sir Pvt. Kracken here. could you kick the servitors and have they take me off the roster from alpha platoon squad two so I am only listed in the sniper team.

131-Ovr. Purple-JKB is gonna have a busy day at the firing range...

JKB won't be the only one. gotta get some practice in plus it's just plain old fun

166 commander arkanian.

permission to use the range for cannon and sponson practice sir? I would love to show the snipers how to do some real battle field damage!

Pssh keep the artillery and snipers.

Stand back and watch our Ogryn do this



Consider the Nids done.

I would love to show the snipers how to do some real battle field damage!

Real. Battle. Damage.

Really?

Careful, mate. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

....though of course there's no women around here. No..of course not.

But just remember, you can't yell surprise assassination in a tank, but snipers can certainly do it to tank crews whilst they're on the bog.

Sir, the servitors have left the Death's Gauntlet as an unamed tank in the Tank Leaugue, sir. I would suggest you order them to fix it.

And I'm going to miss the Commisars hat... Best damn hat that ever served with the 222nd.

Me too trooper, me too! and jkb, more servitors for you!

Alternatively we could run the entire porter loo(sniper in it), or we could shred it with heavy stubber fire, or atomize it with the cannon. also we can shout surprise attack in out tanks, but know one will hear it over the 4000hp engines or the boom and chatter of the god emperor's weapons. And we can do all this from our built in bog in the fething tank! Trooper i would love to see you shout surprise attack and try to take my tank down when im in it on the bog.

Porta-loo? What kinda pansy are your tank crews they can't dig a decent latrine? Afraid to get their delicate little hands dirty hiding in their tin can?

And ram a loo in a tank? There's no class or style in that.

I'm a little worried though that you take your tank to the bog with you.

131-Ovr. Purple-Tankers take their tanks everywhere...
Anyone breaking the latrines gets the nice duty of digging a new one and this time it'll be in no mans land and you'll be wearing the unifrom of the suicide squad.

133-sniper Kracken- Here Here. That would be site to see. Not to mention probably pretty confusing for the enemy

Okay, a short report, as i mentioned, we had a training exercise today which was lucky for us. It appears we were caught off guard.

Our training partners were a ravenwing contingent of 3 bike squads and 45 terminators.

all 3 tanks got tagged in the first round of shooting from them, which put us at a disadvantage... units who 'survived' (no one died, as this is a professional commander we fought and was a routine training exercise we weren't expected to win)

Alpha Squad II- Despite casualties, held up an entire unit of enemy marines for the duration of the battle

COmmissar Von Humps- took on Chapter Master Belial in hand to hand combat, escaped unscathed after knocking out the mighty terminator! (after 8 hits on his refractor field)

Gamma Platoon-WIthering fire took down a unit of terminators.


all in all, it was a bad day, but no fatalities.

Well it is always good to hear that nobody died.

also Sir Pvt kracken is still listed in both alpha platoon #32 and #133 sniper team. should only be sniper team.

*Tunes VOX to play more classic rock*

YEEEEEAAAH! We win again bitches.

Gunner Giles- Which Tanks were Tagged, Sir?

dang that was some brutal training exercises. termies are worth their weight gold.

Varrick wrote: *Tunes VOX to play more classic rock*

YEEEEEAAAH! We win again bitches.

We didn't we got our backsides handed to us. Gamma squad 1 and 2 took 50% casualties, 3 100% alpha platoon was 90% casualties, it was a bad day.

45 termies??? 45!!??

123-Pilot Kerrick-Did Squadron I do anything sir?

Commander Seric- So how did the Emperor's Honour do in the battle?

General Seric wrote:Commander Seric- So how did the Emperor's Honour do in the battle?

Luna Pintus: Sadly sir, we were taken out in turn 1 wit the other tanks sir.

Did i survive? im pvt Bartley.

132- Vet sniper JKB: Training exercise, Pvt Bartley

Sir, how did the newly formed sniper squad go? Do I give the men amesec or go searching for more faulty servitors and order them back out onto the firing range?

133-sniper Kracken- can we combine the two

I will be honest- no one did anything really significant. The problem is, the ravenwing marines scouted ahead and then managed to assault on turn 1... it was rather one sided i'm afraid, the snipers didn't even have time to fire a shot.

Also folks, the thread may not be updated next week as i am back at the schola, having an examination for my degree in people.

123-Pilot Kerrick-Well at least we didn't die in the first moments of the battle
131-Ovr. Purple-Did the suicide squad acquit itself valiantly sir? Good luck on your examination sir! I am sure it will make you an even more capable commander.

the suicide squad did not participate, there was a fortress that needed charging, they all survived though!

the sentinals did not die, they were one of the few units left at the end

Could have been worse sir.

We need to find a better battle plan. Were we fighting on equal terms? I.E. we stick to jungles and forest and they're in open?

131-Ovr. Purple-When the times comes the suicide squad will serve you well.

130 Commissar Wasabi reporting in:

Only 50% casualties from my platoon is perfectly acceptable in my book. So long as you lot took down some of those super-armoured prettyboys when you went down. And from the sound of things, that's just what you boys did.

But that's not to say you boys couldn't have done better. Next time you need inspiration on the battlefield, just take a look at the Commissariat: I personally witnessed Lord Commissar Von Humps beat a Chapter Master to death with nothing more than sheer hate and a bolt pistol.

Though to be fair, he did start the combat with a protocol-unfriendly low blow.

I will be honest commissar, the training exercise was called to an end before we could finish, you were surrounded by 9 terminators and a bike squad and a landspeeder.


Also, our armies requisition airbrush arrived

Im sorry that we under preformed, I think knowing it wasnt a real battle meant I wasnt at my best. Seems pointless fighting when you cant smell the coppery tang of spilt blood and feel the skulls of our enemies crumple under our treads. If blood isnt being spilt I cant feel the Emperors fire in my soul. Next time I will earn the Wrath back some kills.

133-sniper Kracken- can we combine the two

No, Sniper Kracken we cannot. No firing ANYTHING in the Alpha Platoon's Sniper Squad whilst under the influence of anything more than the Emperor's glow and our commander's and commissars' pride.

We don't need Dutch courage. We carry our own courage within our breasts.

....you can all stop looking at my breasts now.

I will be honest- no one did anything really significant.

Noone did anything an we STILL scored a draw! We are awesome!

Now, Sniper Kracken we can have some amasec

well at least we can rest assured knowing that our demise meant that the infantry could survive just those few moments longer as all their attention was aimed at the tanks...

I feel the above comment is apporpriate

Okay folks- something is awry.

It doesnt add up. how would we be thrown against a terminator company.

We also received a mysterious vox transmission

++Encryption level Gamma++
++Clearance Lord Inquisitor **** Ordos hereticus-**** Subsector++
++ Inquisitor ******
++Additional clearance-Marshall L*****++
++message follows++
My Lord Inquisitor,
My investigations have led me to the industrial planet of ******, on your order to deal with the renegade inquisitor. It is in this task that i made contact with the Sanctioned Psyker (Alpha Level) attached to the catachan 222nd on your order. As your source suggested, he has been a valuable asset. As i ascertained from Altzer, a psychic storm interupted the vessel transporting the catachan regiment on. Luckily, due to his presence- the transport maintained it's course in warp space. It would appear that this was the first of the five attempts your source foresaw. The second occurred during a training exercise, against a dark angel force. Not only where the catachans out gunned severely, but again, evidence of tampering was evident. Luckily this time, Lord commissar Von Humps had what he described in a later interview as a 'hunch' which he claims to have frequently (suggested for psyker screening, may just be caused by close affiliation with Alpha Psyker Altzer) This hunch led him to inspect the practice weapons, to discover that the catachan equipment had been replaced with live ammunition. Had the guardsman slain even a single brother of the deathwing, the retribution would have been great- with pressure to disown the 222nd as renegade.
This is the report up to now, i do not know what the next 3 challenges for the regiment will be, but all i can hope is that your source is correct (i shall assume it is of a xenos breed and inquire no further) and that on the 6th attempt, the hand who is forcing these 'unfortunate' coincidences is revealed and the lone female will bring the emperors divine justice. This female however my lord is still unknown as the 222nd have no females in their contingent. Through further investigation on recent requisition, we can assume, my lord that the '4 catachan devils' are indeed the artillery support of the regiment, as rarely will a catachan regiment take a single tank, let alone 4. The third factor, the unlikely ally is also yet unknown, although i might hypothesize that this is where your contact will come into their own.

The emperor protect!
Your faithful servant, Inquisitor ******

130 - Commissar Wasabi:

Never did like those fething inquisitors, all they do is usurp the authority of local commanders, and bring bad news.

And that's just what they're doing. And on an unrelated note, any further infantrymen caught sneaking into the Officer's quarters in hopes of stealing unauthorised rations will not be thrown into the brig. They'll be placed on repainting duty for the exteriour of the Sanctus Mauve without any life support equipment. Practice holding your breath.

((space marines can do. And this is coming from a loyal IG player whose favourite saying is "real men don't wear power armour". It's all up to you how much personality you give them.

Our current scheme is a basic catachan one of red and green and brown, as for the tanks to represent their err... uniqueness, they are different, the wrath is awaiting sponson repairs- so has not been painted yet, the bell is green and grey, the honour is quartered very dark purple and green and the gauntlet is halfed bone and green, but there will be some pictures soon

I do not care what the colour is as long as there is extra beer stowage and the Vox casters so that Shrute can motivate our brothers with his litanies of hate!

Sigmund i PM'ed you.

Can 'i' (you) paint the Wrath Red and bone camo???
If it checks with the rest of the crew that is?

Varl Sigmund wrote:I do not care what the colour is as long as there is extra beer stowage and the Vox casters so that Shrute can motivate our brothers with his litanies of hate!

It will have a few kegs strapped to it and an extra bib vox system don't you worry!

sure thing when i get more bone paints

Bangin' sur!

(Is it to late to join? What would I have to do?)

Not at all just chill and have fun!

69 - Seems like the mighty 222nd is only getting stronger, sir!

132-Vet Sniper JKB: Can't be long before we have a full complement

By the way, when is our next engagement?

we are maybe 20 folks away from a full army next engagement will be in the next 2 weeks, been at schola universitarium this week

What can I be?

Adj Purple-I think standard trooper is the only spot left...
Take a look at the Regimental backgorund whilst you're here...

The penal squad are still on the rotor, also the deaths gauntlet is still listed as un-named
Also i think being used as training dummies but the DA no-less, is a worthy Honer for the record.

Adj Purple-Penal squad is out since i have been re-assigned as regimental Adj...

Is being a prisoner the only position left? I'm fine with that if it is.

no m8, a regular line trooper is.

I'll take that then.

Okay trooper, do you want your troopers name to be darksage?

Nooo, please call it Peater, Iean, staker or P.I.staker for short

stonned_astartes wrote:Nooo, please call it Peater, Iean, staker or P.I.staker for short

you are our only P.I.Staker here, and they end up in front of the commissars bolt pistol

lucky it was loaded with party streamers! : D

On a related note, the next time my bolt pistol fires party streamers instead of a holy bolt, I will ensure that the fether that does it will be praying to the Emperor for their own personal exterminatus.

Goodness I hope that never happens during combat!

after a while when your casulaty list piles up you should do a table top objective that kinda looks like the viet-nam memorail

Adj Purple-Or just a really big pile of heroic corpses...
Once i sleep this off and after college i'll finish up the Ork battle narrative.

000-Larkin- thank you adjutant purple, you have done an excellent job so far.

Adj Purple-You're welcome Sir...
I do want to be a writer some day so it kinda helps... though fan fiction is a bad habit...

Well i put it above fan fic, as technically you are writing your own story the people who pm me asking if they can help are the fans don't hesitate to call me up for a reference

If i end up finishing it and joining it together as a story i may well do that... don't tell them about the drinking...

Haha ofcourse ! feel free to write as much as you want to write (although if you end up selling it in GW stores as a series of catachan books, i expect a 10% cut)

You get 7% and be happy with it

Hmm the amount of happyness may actually be effective against an agent of chaos or a dark eldar you should try it on a prisoner sometime and if that deosnt work I can always fry them with my warp powers.

Or you could blow their head up as he fires the party streamers, then everyone would be scared of party streamers...

Thank you to every single one of you who has signed up- we have nearly (1 person away) from filling up an ENTIRE platoon. (also gamma platoon is at about 2/3rds strength - you guys truly amaze me!

we have exactly 101 real people representing my army- its staggering!

Wow, I'm Surprised that it made it this far, and that so many perople signed up! This was a great idea, hlaine.larkin.

Yeah, it really is a great idea, I think that you have probably started something huge here on dakka. You should give yourself a pat on the back for that, my friend!

212 Varro

131- sniper Kracken- indeed you should. amazing how many other people have started doing this kinda thing with their armies.

yeah, i think it's cool

Maybe our battle cry should be "We're the First!"

.....not that I'm into that kinda one-up-man-ship.

Pfft. Balls I'm not.

WE'RE THE FIRST! WE'RE THE COOLEST!

I'm more humbled by the idea that it is catching on- and wish everyone else well after all, sometimes you just wanna be in a rough rider specialist army like the batvarian

90 pvt damascus: "yeah, I agree with Russki! Can we keep the loot?
Cos, you see, I found this really neat ork shoota! And-Oh! h-hi commissar! What, this? No, no, no, no, no, I was uh...uh...taking this to be uh...uh cleansed and uh destroyed! Yeah!"

motto sugestions

fire support: we fear no pain. we fear no death. FOR WE HAVE MOAR DAKKA THAN YOU, JERKWEEDS!

sentinel squadron: hah! and they think they'r SAFE down there!

alpha platoon: "The other green tide!"

gamma platoon"feth you!"

entire unit
1: "no better friend, no worse enemy."
2:"first to fight"
3:"jungle vipers"

Adj Purple- My own motto suggestion "Be the unexpected"

Wha' abou' the dancin' squigs? Can I keep them?

Vet Sniper JKB: I still like my suggestion, "No Bastard Gets Away"

59-Pvt-J.P Jenkins

So they say the galaxy is a pretty big place, apparently still small enough to find myself in the same squad as another Jenkins.

we'll just have to see who ends up with the field promotion first eh

132 Vet Sniper JKB: Really? Jenkins and Jenkins, I just thought you were brothers. Twins even. If you ignore that you're different heights, eye colour, different facial features, hair and everything about you guys is different, you'd be the spitting image of each other!

yes now you point it out if you remove those features it is true... someone fetch me the inqisition

How would you guys feel about a website?

What kind of website? Like a blog or something?
Russki: "If you wan' it, we follow, sir!"

it would have our own dedicated forum, gallery for you guys to upload, and a galery for the 222nd stuff,that kinda jazz

The new fluff is up! check it out!

OH HECK YES! I remembered the old catachan website grimstalker and it closed down.

130: Commissar Wasabi reporting:

Gamma platoon's official motto until further notice is as follows:

"We are the shadow of death, bringers of victory."

Or my personal favourite, "Throne's sake, I will shoot you where you stand, Wolfshead."

Tank hull vs. bolt pistole with party streamers.
i like it to Commissar : D keep it hahahaaaa...

Do it! Shoot him!

Give the crew of the Emperor's Honor something to laugh about!

Sgt Sigmund here...

jus' wondering like...

how about his fer a motto:

"though we walk through the valley of death we shall fear no evil... for we are the meanest fethers in the valley!"

and the "Marshall's Wrath's" personal motto will be:

"Play ball with the Marshal's Wrath... or we'll shove the bat up yer ass!"

love it sgt. but we'll never rember all than wen drunk...i mean in the heat of battle. hahahaaaaa...

Hm, how about the motto for Death's Gauntlet being "The solution is superior firepower!"

I have some exciting news, i will @hopefully@ be having some custom sculpts made for our resident snipers, something with a bigger hitting lasgun and possibly a few rugged commissars

sniper Kracken- very nice I look forward to it

132-Vet Sniper JKB: That is exciting! Knew you'd look after us, sir!

Sniper Squad - Amasec all 'round!

i will even get him to model a female sniper.

that is incase we ever get one.
as we definately don't have one now.
that would be against regulations.

Pvt 58 Jenkins - I demand the regulations be changed!

Demand away i am sure the commissar would gladly interview you

132-Vet Sniper JKB: Of course, not, sir, of course not. No females in the all male 222nd.

Now who's up for strippers and blackjack? I am, sure. That's my favourite thing.

Strip away lass er.. lad!

..and just in case you where wondering... Stripping goes with Poker (and ussually leads to poke her) not blackjack...

but I am sure a strapping (sic) lad err would know that right?

*evilfethinggrin*

Just consider the following fact about a catachan woman- what kind of woman could give birth to the hardest guardsmen in the imperium?

consider that

..and just in case you where wondering... Stripping goes with Poker (and ussually leads to poke her) not blackjack...

Commissar, I would request that this man be forced to watch hololiths of Futurama before his ignorance offends me further, sir.

Marshall? Love you way of thinking.

I second the futurama, however i fear you need to see them too, as it's blackjack and hookers

My apologies, Marshall. Whilst I am well aware of the correct quote it was my obviously pathetic attempt at keeping the thread PG rated.

Some of the pet grotts some of the tank crew may be in hearing and we don't want them repeating words of ill-repute (and worse, getting ideas).

I see, i applaud your attempt, my logic is if a mod has a problem with it, futurama is a pg . And true, the tank crews are easily excited into shenanigans..

132-Vet Sniper JKB: Good thing there aren't any Catachan women around here cos sometimes we're hard pressed to find any real men.

I'll be on the firing range. Retaliate to the comment at your own risk.

bwahahahah...

JKB?

Mine is bigger than yours so there is no need to get into a contest!

real men? ya got tae be kiddin! this entire Regiment is populated with only the finest specimens of Catachan manhood...

...I just happen to be the finest!

You can only handle yours with the help of a whole buncha other men. Doesn't sound like a real man to me.

Sounds a bit soft, really.

hmph!
you think you could handle mine on your own then?

on an unrelated note, the uniform is coming along well. platoon alpha have been 90% painted, as have all 4 russes. the only problem we have is that the marshalls wrath is half pink ish... i made the mistake of painting red over white.. so it's bone and pink, i wil sort it out when i have time (i still have about 100 men, 2 sentinals, 3 command squads,5 ogryns to paint so this may be a while i have to do this for a tournament)

unless you manly men would rather i just added some flowers?

Marshal you wound me...
with the Wrath there is no hiding involved... even if I have to get out and push this beast we will ram it down any and all orifices presented to us by the enemies of the Emperor!

...and if they do not present then we will rip them a new one and then ram it down it!!!

Of course there's no hiding. You can't hide in pink, pansy-boy.

err no.... wait.... no... let me think... no...

...unless the other colour is canary yellow!!! but then it better be shocking pink! just to make sure the bastards see us coming... just in case they missed the booming voice of the Vox casters reciting the litanies of Hate punctuated with the retort of the Demolisher...



...but flowers.... no!

JKB: ...pansy boy?

you are starting to sound like you are compensating for something!

No class. No subtly. Damn tankers.

Sniper Squad - stealth training. See how much of the Marshall's Wrath's personal effects you can lift without them knowing.

I want their underwear flying from the flagpole by dawn.

you are starting to sound like you are compensating for something!

Just because I'm a wo...because my voice is breaking, I and my sniper squad still got more stones than your crew.

A wuh? What's a wuh?

Thinks: This is a chance to impress my new comrade JKB, by obtaining and displaying the underwear by 0500 hours. Then he'll see I'm just as manly as him!

why is it only our snipers who have these womanly figures... i think maybe it is a stealth thing. yeah. must be..

hlaine.larkin wrote:why is it only our snipers who have these womanly figures... i think maybe it is a stealth thing. yeah. must be..

I believe the term is 'lithe.'

....the truth about the tankers at last...

thats quite impressive...

It is actually...
Especially when you consider the fact the rest of the regiment is hidden in the background.

JKB...

I love it!!!!

just the flowery things need to be changed... some nice catachan flora such as the blood sucker rose or the venom tulip would be better...

and the name needs to be bigger!

and it needs the Vox casters and several barrels of beer and a case or 2 of Amisec strapped to the back and I would call it home...

...sigh!

I like your style, 136. You've earned the right not to hold the apple at 36" anymore during sniper practise.

{{hlaine... in all seriousness I want it!!}}

although I must say I still believe you need some canary yellow in there!

as fer yer sneaky challenge... err never knew much how tae sneak much... err an' my idea of subtillity would be to anounce my intention first.... and not to just ram it in...

so as far as most real men are concerned I think I am reaaaallly subtle!

Thank goodness, I never was a fan of apples.

Ladies, not that there are any, and gentleman.

I have agreed to engage the services of a techpriest of mars, who is going to make new gear for some storm troopers, roughriders,snipers and veterans

123-Pilot Karrick-Go Sentinels!

as long as they nae be distracted from ensuring that the Wrath's cherise and safron paint job is up to scratch!

He isn't dealing with that sort of thing, he is a forgemaster- he will be making armaments and armour for the guys on the ground

hlaine.larkin wrote:He isn't dealing with that sort of thing, he is a forgemaster- he will be making armaments and armour for the guys on the ground

I can haz Carapace?

58 Jenkins - does this means we gets a 4+ save suh?!

It means anyone chosen for storm trooper training will get a 4+ save yes

58 Jenkins - Oh...roight...

good luck!
jus' remember trooper...

if they give you a 4+ armour save they also generally are going to put you into situations that you actually need a 2++ invulnerability save...

...well that be less fire coming the Wrath's way!!

hlaine.larkin wrote:How would you guys feel about a website?

I think that would be a great idea! We could have a photo gallery for your pictures and pictures of our models of the 222. I plan on making the crew of the Emperor's Honour on foot, and to make the Emperor's Honour itself, though it will not be painted in the 222's colors, but the Invictian 52 to match.

Adj Purple-You need to sign up first trooper...

This is our new forgemaster, he is here on explicit instruction from me

What is your name faeLi-N

Adj Purple-He is? Excellant.

Yup, so be nice Adjutant, Forgemaster, the Ajutant has written our story so far, its in my signature

Sorry for the presumptive comments and the ommision of my preliminary check-in Adjutant sah! Name's Finlay

No worries it was my bad.
I'm gonna have to give you a shiny spot in the background... how do you feel about axes and heavy flamers?

Ooooh, I like axes, but if I was let near a heavy flamer I'd probably be the only one getting singed...

You won't be using it...
It'll be your servitors...

Good times... sign me up

Sorry to confuse it by chucking in extra players into the story

Nah, we were gonna need to have a Techpriest at some point so at least with this we have a user for him/her.

Feel free to put me wherever it's convenient, I can tinker in my spare time

You'll probably appear in the next installment...
I won't give more details in case it ruins the story.
Not sure when the new installment will be up either... i might manage it tonight depending on a few things...

Also JKB, this means that we can't give you spare servitors to snipe on, as the forgemaster can fix them. if you ask him nicely, he will make you a practice servitor..

(on a serious note forgemaster, i know i asked for 3 objectives, if i send you a servitor, can you make a 'target practice' servitor, a stash of alcohol (for the wrath) and then something else?

The third one totally needs to be me with a book or 40k equivalent...

no no, you are our master of the fleet with data-slate

Shiny...
In that case it needs to be the good Commissars hat.

Definitely something I can achieve... have to try and impress now I'm the new boy

well, all your stuff will be going up on our website, which i also need to talk to you about

random question to all members of the 222nd- what 3 things represent us most?

so far we have 2-
Jkb's target servitor
The Wraths amasac stash

Either Wolfshead's charge sheet or the Commissars hat...

the charge sheet is too big.

But yes. Our dear commissars hat, on a plinth.

are those 3 relics workable forgemaster? i can give you the servitor, and we would need a commissars hat on a plinth of some sort,a target practise servitor and a beer stash

Definitely workable sir, in facts, I think I have the bits in the back. That servitor can help me move them...

(What type of hat does the commisar prefer? )

A Commissars hat...
Someone show this man a picture!

are you willing to make these under the current budget i will be giving you?

Biggest. Link. Ever

Wasn't sure that we entertained such standard military affair, but I'm sure I've got one in the cupboard I can dust off...

Should be covered in this year's budget

we don't really, basically (as our commissars are just hard veterans who everyone listens to because they like them) he err... found that hat. in the jungle one day, just outside a man eating plant... it was his pride and joy, then a grot nicked it and got shot, but the hat was lost..

Hehe, simple really, I should have guessed...

(also, i am a marshall, not commander )

we need ideas for a regimental banner

Duly noted Marshall sir!

Good man

just so you know, we have fought another battle, a small encounter (around 1500 credits requisition/wages) but i will let the adjutatnt catch up first (no pressure, i will keep them saved )

WEBSITE-

will you guys use it? i will be paying for it, will you guys use it as a general forum like you would dakka and bring all your friends?

Lastly... if we get a website and 1000 replies on here, i am thinking of having a competition to win something, maybe a squad of catachans or something

maybe i will pay someone to make a catachan model of you or something..

How much would a site cost?

Not an excessive amount

Yeah but it all adds up...
Is it a one time payment or a subsciption?

I think dakka dakka is fine tbh. but i would use the website if it had a forum.
My charge list isn't that long Marchall...hahahaaaa...
Maybe wee could have a lemon russ facing left, a sentinel facing right and the a sniper aiming his(her) gun from the front(so your looking up the barrel. -for the banner.

Innuendo FTW!!!

Hi all!

Thought I might post my character's backround looks general mood and habits and maybe a daily journal (which will keep to purpleflood's storyline) if it's O.K with the Marshall.

Pfc. Nathaniel Damascus:

backround:

parent's home planets
father: catachan
mother: vardan

early life:

born on the hive world of steeelfall and moving to catachan aat age 4 , damascus
worked as a junior arbiter in 'hive' secundis (The only
hive city on catachan, also known as the 'big mess'
due to the fact that the jungle is swiftly retaking the
hive, inch by inch forcing the local hivers to 'chem-clear'
their yards every morning or the deadly catachan flora
may take root) for several years
before, raising enough money to attend the scholum
where he went for several years befor joining
the catachan 222nd

appearance and disposition:

damascus is about a head shorter than most catachans
being only half blooded, as a result of this his physic
is somwhat less robust than the others within his regiment.

his disposition is refered to as "wet-behind-the-ears" or
"noob" as he has never been in combat aside from quelling
the ocasional hive-riot (even then he was never actually allowed
to fight allowed to fight) or shooting the occasional death cobra.
his adoration of the emperor is somewhat more subdued than the
average imperial soldier but still exists.
just having joined the 222nd two weeks ago at age 17, he has not
seen combat yet and is likely to look to nco's or officers for
guidance (and will probaly be scared shitless in his first battle)

he attempted to join as a officer but did not pass. Therefore hi set
his sights toward climbing the ranks manualy instead.

he has a penchant for burst fire and exlosives

damascus attempts to make friends and acts good natured (mostly) towards others. he does though get into "antics" somtimes of his own devise and other times dragged into them unknowingly

Damascus has a love of helmets (he wears a cadian style helmet and catachan flak armor

also has never been drunk once...YET!

Damascus is his units medic

uh...a half catachan... who is only 17

Damascus is also his unit's assitant to vox-man Jack Klein as well as medic

Not sure who Purpleflood is but if i see him i'll pass it on... i think... maybe...

i think you should handle it adjutant, it was probably the servitors transponder nt working

Much obliged...

Damn cogboys fixing faulty servitors.

<grumps>

17, never fought, never been drunk.....sheesh. For a Catachan, that age is almost ripe for a midlife crisis!

Took out my first flying swamp mamba when I was six with nothing more than a thrown skinning knfe, had my first hangover the next day.

Aboard the sanctus mauve Nathaniel Damascus looked at the customized hatch in front of him and took in the details. It wasn't the picture of a pink leman russ MBT that made him nervous, nor was it the painting an adepta sororitas battle sister in a very compromising position either.

it was simply the fact that it was there.

come on nate! said a voice in his head. back out now, and the fething commasariat is gonna hand you your head, on a spike!

Taking a deep breath he adjusted the hang of his lasgun and pushed open the door.

Taking in the room around him he noted the three occupants: in the corner behind the watch desk a man with a red band tied around his head, smoking a lho stick and scowling at a a magazine, his his booted feet up on the desk and a steaming mug of recaf perilously close to them.

Second, a grizzled looking sergeant snoozing in his cot with a five o'clock shadow adorning a broad jaw. He would have looked intimidating if not for the sleep-mask he was wearing,

And thirdly, a trooper lying on a cot, and snoring the loudest Nathaniel had ever heard with a bottle of amasec clutched in his hand and several empty assorted bottles and cans lying by his feet.

Letting out his long breath Nathaniel started toward the duty officers desk.

how do you tell wo's who in a battle?

do you paint the names on the bases

and if somone is "killed" :( do you roll after the battle to see if they are realy dead or just wounded?

everyone has a number, i do casualties by unit.

if the unit takes casualties, i roll 2d6 for each trooper, on a 2 or 3, the trooper dies. this shows that we all watch out for eachother

if the entire unit is wiped out i roll 2d6 for the unit.

2-4 3d3 casualties
5-7 2D3 casualties
8-10 d3 casualties

However, if a unit is within 6 inches of them when they get wiped out, it is the above -d6.

I know this sounds complex, but it works with the fluff. at the moment, but we have top medicae and are hard.

Sir, i think our dead should be remembered on a wall/list of death/honer.

they will be. luckily we have been blessed by the emperor with no casualties

oh. good?

so far

eh ha ha

Except for the Commissar's hat.

<sniff>

Such a fine hat.

it's ok jkb, it's ok. he has a new one. the old one served him well

yes he does have a new hat

On a plinth!

Btw Marshall what does SWO stand for? it stands for 'something or other weather officer' right?

btw what does the title mean by 'weather'

I am assuming it does not mean pointing to a cgi map and talking about clouds and such.

Also

to my fellow squad-mates
85-Sgt Hatchet 86-SWO Samius 87-Pvt Garm 88-Pvt Russki 89-Pvt Stumbo 90-pvt Nathaniel 'Nate' Damascus (me) 91-Pvt Klein

(along with all infantrymen/heavy weapons if you wish)

It would help if you could post bios, attitudes 'quirks' and character appearances so I could get them right i'm Nate's 'journal/side-story

assuming marshall larkin, purplefood and the commasariat allow me

awaiting confirmation that i can continue (or discontinue )
Nate's experiences with the 222

will be keeping in canon with purple's story


And: what does 'Imo' mean

also is it 'lho stick' or 'iho stick'

1/ special weapons operative (there is a key)
2/read the thread, you can make up anyone else who hasn't shown one, but it is purple's decision not mine
3/ in my opinion
4/Lho
