Since everyone seems to be flaunting ye-olde timely gear, I guess Gallus could rock some Solar Auxiliary-era armor...
There's even a nice model with a powerfist and a laspistol that should be easily converted to be packing a plasma pistol. Such a shame finding the model on its own is not possible

Any ideas where the meeting will be held? I was thinking in orbit of Gallor Prime, if it hasn't already been decoded to be elsewhere. I was thinking for it to be there as a symbol, as a reminder for the Crusade that it won't be an easy job. That victory must come at all costs. A reminder of what will come and what has happened. Gallor Prime might be lost, but this crusade is not.

Glad to see you've all been busy adding in your sections for the Hybrid attack. Many of you did very well in preventing the attack, looking at Kharne (for actually getting the exact number!)
More to the point of this delegation, I was going to have it take place aboard the meeting suite on the Lord General's flagship. One of the walls would be made transparent, and you'd be able to see the ruin of Gallor Prime. I trust that everyone is okay with that?
Now, the delegation itself. Glad to see that most of you have your representative ready, and many have brought weapons. Fair enough, one cannot be too safe. I'll put up a list of the current delegation members up on here once I can write properly, and edit that as appropriate.
My main issue is how we're going to do the delegation. For sake of exposition and plot, it would be convenient if I wrote up the scene and tried to get across everyone's reactions and quirks. However, I also understand that I'd possibly end up misinterpreting your guys, or not have them achieve their ulterior objectives.
So, I'll ask you: do we want to do this the more complicated way, and have everyone control their characters, or do you want me to write up the proceedings of the delegation?
If we did the latter, I'd ask for you to outline your general goals and objectives for the meeting, as well as anything notable that would make you stand out in it.

Just added the Histans bit with the hybrids. I apologize for the shortness of it. I'll try to make my posts a bit bigger. Some stuff for Archarus soon to come.
Also the Histans goal for the delegation:
Get the support (via men, resources, or another regiment/chapter sending a detachment to them) they so desperately need.
Probably get some more ships, or something to make their fleet able to fight the hybrids in space.
Also, Colonel Detta will probably bring in a data slate containing videos of his men fighting against the beasts, to help prove that he needs the support, and show that the Histans, while taking a beating, are not cowards.

I pretty much just assumed that you would launch an attack against an invading force. If you wouldn't, feel free to correct me, and I'll have another force hurt Julius' fleet.

So, I realized something on the plane ride home:
I have three ships not docked at command. The strike cruisers have been gobbled up, my scouts, many tacticals and some vets having driven them. But, based on Smudge's description, I think the Emperor-class would have survived, so I THINK I have less losses than I maybe should have. Idk how I should do this, because either I've lost my entire chapter or just like a quarter or so...

Smudge doesn't often say how many casualties we took. He leaves it up to us to determine that. He might just say that we take "heavy" casualties in a fight. "Heavy" Casualties for Marines might just mean 10 guys (which, in my case is pretty bad, since I only have like 120 guy total). But fo a Guard army it might mean like 100 or something worse. I like that he leaves it up to us, else I would've completely run out of men by now

Precisely. I trust you all to make a judgement and be honest about how much you should lose in a fight, according to your victory level.
Otherwise, I'd run it as percentages, so 10% of a ten man squad is only 1 man, but 10% of a Chapter level strike is 100 men. It all depends on what you deployed. Of course, under-deploying nets you negative modifiers, so...

Well. I'm trying to figure out how many I lost in the Necron attack. If they hit the Strike Cruisers that are with the Barge then the losses are probably on the crew of those ships, and any Marines there. If it was on the Barge I'm not sure how many I should lose. I JUST got reinforced, so losing a bunch of guys already is mildly irritating

Yes. In the case of forces that lose things in fleet combat, and can't afford to lose lots of men normally, there are faceless NPC serfs on the escort ships to be killed. However, this is only a case if you are in void combat, and cannot afford (ie. War Kitten) to lose many more men.
I would also suggest that the Ultramarine 3rd pull out of patrol duty, to save them actually being eradicated by a bad roll!

Well, I'd say a genestealer cult spreading everywhere isn't exactly Noblebright. I do; however, wish there was a bit more happiness in 40k. Kinda like Sheppard and Petra having a child, Lilliana and Korvel meeting again (maybe getting back together).Just happy things, 40k needs a little more of that.

Just posted a rather lengthy section on the Remnants' response to the Hybrid attack.
In short, everyone got fethed.
BADLY.
Also, the Remnants lost one of their two ships, and a bunch of Marines.

I have to say, that was a really nice piece you wrote Ezra. I wish I could come up with poetry like that, I could really use a good mantra for my Histans. (Archarus doesn't really need something like that. Maybe something for Voorhees to say if he stabs the Warsmith in the back, but I don't see that happening)

It'd be cool to have a mantra for them, but I'd also like to think up some sort of saying that summarizes their beliefs. Something like that little poem in The Grey
"Once more into the fray
Into the last good fight I'll ever know
Live and die this day
Live and die this day"
I really like that poem. And movie, for that matter, but that's too OT for this OT thread.

Well, it's just one marine picturing what he'd do differently, and for the time being he trusts and fears Archarus enough to not do anything against him. Vorhees is more likely to wait until the war is over, and then stab Archarus in the back while he celebrates, if he'd ever actually rebel.
Archarus himself murdered the old Warsmith as they entered the Charadon system, and made himself Warsmith.

Castella is basically the third in command, she's a Tempestor Secundus, as well, and Atellus is the only Tempestor who made it out of Julla.

I'll write up a speech for you, Smudge, but can I ask people to spell my Histans without the second 'i'?. It's not a major issue, but I'm not sure where it started from.

It's not a major issue, and it doesn't bother me either, but I just found it odd that it was mispelled. I'm used to my own first name being mispelled more often than not (and granted, it's not a normal spelling, so I can understand the cause). I figured I'd just let people know of the slight mistake in their name.

Agreed. At least this HAS some kind of continuity.

Seriously, I'm not even going to think about what kind of subtext can now be extracted from the interactions between the Sorcerer and Aurelius...
So I wasn't the only one who thought it could be taken that way! Aurelius still has some angst to work out against that damn Sorceror.
Kharne the Befriender wrote:Yeah, What do you guys think I can do to my writing to make it more interesting?
Honestly, the Necrons are actually pretty engaging, all things considered. It isn't a race to be more interesting. Hell, I'm fairly sure most people have forgotten about Aurelius since he hasn't been dicked over by the Remnants again

So I was possessed by a demon to write this little piece based on the night before christmas totally non-cannon to the crusade if that wasn't obvious enough. Tried to drop as many names as I could fit.
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the crusade
Not a soldier was fighting not even the blockade.
Traitors were hung from the ramparts with care
In hopes to slay Lord Archarus’s army most fair.
Acting Captain Aurelius was nestled in bed
Dreaming of taking that sorcerer’s head.
And Petra in her Armor and I in my Commissar’s cap
Had just settled our brains for warp travel nap.
When on out my window there came such a noise
I awoke to see a horde of ork Boyz
But the ork who led them a brute named Nox
Rode a red bike loaded with Presents, dakka, and a box.
The ork came at me with fury, he came in a flash.
When he came near I expected a lash.
But the beast halted and handed me a Box wrapped tenderly with care
Refuse it I couldn’t as I would not dare
The mek shouted with a holler
“Merry Christmas ya git now I got a new caller.”
The ork shouted to his ladz
“On Blitza, On Rokker, On Splitzer and Dokker. On Gadnuk On BadToof, on Ladbuk and Da Doof!”
And off they were to deliver more gifts to those who were dead killy fighters
Like Karak and Julius, and all those Eldar Blighters
With the crack of the whip and the shot of the pistol
The ork gave one final whistle
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good night.”

The last post I made in the main thread detailed the gruesome end of about half my entire ARMY, who died by getting nommed by a horde of vicious Xenos hellbent on killing EVERYTHING IN THIS SYSTEM, rather than getting some heroic death on the battlefield.

Hey guys, I'm hopefully going to have some free time to jump in soon. Been writing my short intro today, but a lot of distractions.
I have a question: As my force us relatively tiny, I was going to have them find wreckage/salvage or a fleeing survivor (minor) from the conflict and use that as an "in".
Anyone got a suggestion as to what we might find? I don't want to insult any particular faction.

Well, if you go with my Histans, you could fine some ammunition stores, or maybe some survivors from the Knife of Hista. Histans are low on men and guns, so either would be valuable. Of course, no one would be happy about buying their own stuff back...

Assuming he's not out to sell the survivors to the highest bidder.
Our captain is occasionally a terrible businessman when it comes to doing the right thing. You may occasionally find he owes you money in such cases.
I think he views it as a karmic balance from fleecing so many larger corporations and shady family houses.

In all seriousness, stolen DE tech helps break what is normally possible TS
91468
Post by: War Kitten
Well... it's mostly that it's basically a requirement that Astartes recruits have to be younger in age, to reduce the chance that the organs reject the aspirant, so your entire chapter being former Guardsmen makes very little sense. Only a certain genetic code can accept the changes that makes one an Astartes, so just saying "my entire chapter is guardsmen!" is very, very, unlikely. Granted, the 40k universe allows for many things, but that isn't one of them. Plus, I highly doubt there is DE tech that would allow this (and I say this as a DE player)

It's probably fine unless you start getting into naval combat. Maybe a general description of what the ship looks like (in case others want to include them in their fluff blurbs), but not saying their hitting power should be fine (it's a surprise for his enemies!). Check with Smudge though, just in case.

Just had this pointed out to me at my FLGS, and its the only thing I cant really answer. The idea is that the geneseed is mutated somewhat heavily compared to others because of the events that founded the chapter, so the geneseed never takes perfectly to begin with, for example causing them to be unable to wear termie armor because of thr large number of Polarization Matrixes they have. They use DE tech to help insert the geneseed safely, which cuts down on the accidents.

Well my intro is "hey, we found a thing, let's go look" and literally gives me 2-3 days to cone up with the next section including ship dimensions.
I'm just stuck for names.
The smallest ship is the Found Guinea, and the middle is the Lucky Farthing, so I guess my big shop should have a coin name too.
The Seneschal is Edward, and a few of the guard have names but I'm stuck for the Lord Captain. I suck at names,
