But rest assured, there are no Primarchs amongst the Remnants... but maybe there will be a cameo of some well-known Chaos character at some point

Don't feel too bad. You should see what they call the lot from Comorragh!
And that's before we even get into the Mon-Keigh.
Seriously, though, that was a general jape aimed at Craftworlders in general, not at anyone's writing - sorry if it gave off that impression. These Harlies like things to be extravagant and silly if they can help it, which is very much at odds with how the Craftworlders operate.

Ezra, I immediately liked Ancient Kordas, and I'm not entirely sure why. I think it's because of his "I'm dead and don't give a  " demeanor, hope we see more of him.
'Cause a Harly party don't stop til Slaanesh is born in a galaxy-wide storm of hellfire. Or something. I may not have that right.
Unrelated note: I'm tentatively seeking a Imperial or Xenos psyker that wouldn't mind participating in a little Warp conversation with A'Khel. Send PM for details if you're interested.

Pfft, hell nah, A single marine will do more than any amount of scions or guardsmen. They are a symbol of the Emperor, they are the angels of the Imperium. Citizens would see them and their faith would be renewed to uber levels. Citizens see scions and they would probably scowl at them.
They have a philosophical meaning.

As for this, I can change the word of "small" to "large" in the second to last paragraph so it symbolizes that I assaulted, lost a large portion of my forces, rallied with the rest, and retreated, if that would help you see that it was a defeat.

Considering I GM'd the last conflict in which the Warpath Furnace was in, which still dictate the laws of firing it's Exterminatus shot (only once, and it cripples the guns if it did), and those same guns were sabotaged by Necron Deathmarks, it's not the most indestructible object.
Plus, I can imagine that Imperial command would keep the ship on a tight leash for risk of your guys going traitor (again), with plenty of Inquisitorial overwatch, and lots and lots of paperwork.

Actually, it's really not.
They have a sector governor on their side, controlling a well-run sector supplying many goods to the area. Not many Inquisitors or High Lords would actually authorise anything about it - you'd probably be seen as the traitors for disrupting an active warzone on a vital planet. I completely intended for the victorious party in CoF1 to be utterly immune to any repercussions due to simple power and influence.
jhe90 wrote:I like concentration on ground stuff. We all can still fly about via own in orbit aircraft.

Agreed. This keeps things far more level headed and stops abuse of planet-killer weaponry, as well as forcing ground control and stability - which I'm all for.
General update, I've suffered a major defeat trying to explore the local Blood Dragon ruins - I lose a sixth of my recon taskforce by sending men inside (why my Shas'vre authorised that, I have no idea ) That'll be going up soon.

And if I could suspend my belief to accept that we had a pre-heresy relic mothership in the crusade without any restriction from Crusade Command (which I did insist on instating, and you turned down), I'm sure it could be suspended to accept that teleporting Deathmarks could take it out with specially equipped tools.
Besides, you rolled just as well to repair, even though it only allows for the one Exterminatus shot.

A HUGE Battle Barge, larger than any of the other ships in the fleet. In fact: Lexicanum wrote:
The Furious Abyss was a massive starship constructed during the latter years of the Great Crusade. Originally thought to be the sole ship of its class, it is eventually revealed by Lorgar that two more of the massive ships, the Trisagion and Blessed Lady, were constructed. Upon their completion the Furious Abyss-class vessels were the largest and most powerful ships in the Imperium, rivaled only by the Phalanx.

This is true. If the old method is still being used, then anything more than 25 away is a defeat, of varying degrees. Of course, there is a trick to make you more likely to get that win, but then again, random numbers could make any number valid for the win. Of course, if you choose an extreme number (eg 3) and the rolled number is a extreme of the same degree (eg 7), you'll be very well off indeed.

Nope.
They are just for show for now. They may pitch in if and when the Kroot leave. I just needed some humans on the ground to help out with lifting and building, and so I decided to use them.

I won't kill them because there's no good reason to and that there's no grudges being held.

Maybe it is time for me to talk to the one who speaks for the trees and negotiate a peace treaty...nah, there is too much empty space in the reclamation pools for that.

If I am going to have named characters(which I am), I enjoy giving them decent names(The Great One). My lictor is also going to be named now, but he has to face combat so I can give him some name the enemies call him. All he had done so far is run away from orks and trees.

1) I don't mind that you stole some Histans, BC. In fact, I'm actually happy that someone will carry on using some Histans, seeing as how I didn't bring them in this time around. They may not be a full fighting force, but it's still nice to see them be around.
2) I kinda cheated when I spelt Kyrkk'ryk'ykk, due to typing everything on my phone, the keyboard remembers certain phrases that I typed, so I always typed 'kyr' and then it automatically fills in the rest. For once autocorrect is helpful.

Considering Ewryht'eikl has the Grimoire of True names and he is a master at hiding gak, I don't think the Grey Knights will find out unless there is some talky talky between the GMs

Well, if i reference correctly, Justicar Alaric found out the name of A daemon without any grimoire. mostly because a inquisitor sold her soul to find the real name, which she repeated out loud.
