Apologies for not having posted much recently, but my mind has pretty much been blanking writing-wise for a few days now, only sporadically giving me enough inspiration to write something 
As for the newcomers, welcome to the Crusade! Orbital weaponry and WMD's can be deposited in the box to your right, where Tactical_Spam will make sure that such resources are not used... inappropriately ( this includes using a Battle-Barge as a blunt instrument against Ork constructs).

There were elements of the Fallen Order fighting with Archarus on Grimdi. No doubt the previous Crusade's participants would have known. Of course, there is no telling how many of them there are, but they are known to the Imperium.

Considering the New Order was known for its subversion, I doubt they would parade under the guise of "the Fallen Order" and retain their paint schemes less they attract the vengeance of the remaining Loyalist New Order Marines and get obliterated by the Warpath Battle Barges.

Didn't they keep half of the new order's logo, I think that made it kinda obvious who they are. The loyalist encountered the fallen order guys before they officially went traitor and then again when they sided with Arachus on Grimdi. I don't think they really had time to rebrand themselves after they joined a demon prince's army so the loyalist who fought on Grimdi would know about them, you could say that the arbiters distanced themselves from the fallen order but they kept the other half of the order's logo, and its hard to rebrand yourself in only five years especially if your still dealing with guys who saw your heresy first hand.

Enough with your trolling, they're litterally better than most if not all special forces we have on Earth right now, and they have hellguns, not lasguns, it just feels weird they'd get taken out while standing around the Nob and just pointing at it with their guns.
Edit: I don't have a problem with my men being killed, but its irking when they start acting like they were never trained or were never in a battle.

It was just an unlucky roll for whatever reason Imperial knights became bad asses when they came out of their armor, it wasn't meant as "Oh look at these scrubs." the result would have been the same regardless if they were Custodes or Conscripts. Vanden lost two marines in a comparable way. Plus if that nob killed six storm troopers (3 of my guys died the exact same way) he was a real threat. also it was quicker to write if I had one nob do all that instead of going into detail about six one on one fights with orks lol and TS lay off the Scions

Losing even one person is a blow to me - losing seven is a significant defeat. It's why I'm going to start being more careful about what I do and making less overt military actions and more sneaky shenanigans with lower risk-factors.

No effect on anything bar the narrative as far as I know. It may incur some negative modifiers if you lose a load of men or try to do something that would be super difficult with a handful of guys (ie, ten guys holding a barren hill against an Astartes company), but you should be good. To my knowledge, any set losses should be percentage based, not individual based, so that the losses are even for each force.

I have to agree with TS here. In terms of everything, the Nob caught the Scions unaware and off guard. You can't really expect them to be battle ready and prepared to fight in a ceremonial event. They're good, but seeing as veteran Space Marines with centuries of experience were unable to deal with that Nob, you shouldn't feel shortchanged. Truth is, no matter how well trained the Scions are, they're not nearly as tough as an Astartes, and their exceptional training would be wasted considering that they're unprepared for combat.
And to be honest, you *did* roll a defeat. Just not a huge one.

I figured I'd need to explain why both groups of Harlequins were doing such different and eventually contradicting things. Both are taking what they think are equally valid paths to the ultimate result desired by Cegorach, either of us, both of us or neither of us could be wrong or right, everything is kept appropriately vague. I hoped this wouldn't contradict with anything you had in mind, but if anything needs to change, just let me know!

No, it doesn't. Just thinking that we may have some clashes.

Yeah, we're definitely going to end up clashing when we meet. My lot embody the heroic side of the Masque more than the vindictive and vicious and they aren't about to sit back and let anyone massacre everything on the planet - that goes against their plan.
Still, given our respective positions, it's probably going to be a while before we even meet, so no Clown-VS-Clown dance battles for now.

Well, Ta'lok threw the knife that killed the grot assassin, and the 'mysterious cloaked figure fleeing the scene' that the Angel saw was the Shaper himself. He couldn't really show up at an important Imperial meeting, listening in on future plans, and not have some Imperials want him killed, so he hid as a back figure, still listened in, and saved the governor before anyone realized who and what he was.

My pain is a lesson to all: Tree = Bad. When given the option to fight or flee, you flee. When asked to attack the trees, you don't. When asked to poke the tree, poke your commander in the eye. Do not fight the trees. Or actually do so because it is less enemies to fight. Yeah, everyone go attack the trees for me. I'll be the janitor and clean up all the biomass you leave around.

Well, logically thinking, a knife hit the grot. The Angel never saw who threw it. There are probably servants and such running everywhere, adding more chaos to the mix. One cloaked figure fleeing isn't that out of the ordinary. Plus she was probably much more focused on the orks who were killing and looting all around, over one figure fleeing a firefight between orks, scions, and astartes.

Tactical_Spam wrote:Ezra, are your BL dudes part of the Remnants?
Nope, those Black Legion guys are a seperate group. They've been tasked to hunt down the Remnants' Commander, who used to be part of the Black Legion until he realized that following Abaddon was only a ticket to a life of meaningless war.
Abaddon's still rather pissed about his defection, as the Commander openly questioned Abby's leadership and trolled him immensely by escaping (and brutalizing) the small Black Legion fleet sent after him.
So now the Warmaster has sent Kusun and his gang of Khorne-loving marines after the Remnants, which is a move that can only turn out well for him; either Kusun eliminates the Commander and Abby has one less enemy within to worry about, or Kusun kicks the bucket, by which he only loses a few worthless semi-exiled subordinates.
Of course, there's no way this plan could possibly go wrong, especially not when you're hunting a warband known for stealing everything and anything they get their Warp-tainted hands on.

Mithras would certainly enjoy a dinner date with the Flayed Lord and his consorts, Kusun on the other hand would probably much rather hack into those dead orks and rebels for a few hours to prevent himself from lopping Mithras' head off.

Well they don't use metal for thier gear, so Hannibal won't be all that interested in their scrap. But they may be the way up north, shortly, where he saw the rest of the hulk fly. So there might be some conflict there if he feels the need to do more scrap collecting.

Gorgrim is going to want that space hulk back eventually. Now that doesn't mean that it has to look like a space ship, but he'll either be really impressed and laugh at a mek looting it, or get salty and break something.
Also, I either listen to Queen, Billy Joel, or Toby Keith.

Well, its the company champion. His father taught him how to smith at the age of four(katana), and the same smithing thing was taught for 42000 years. The family was very content on keeping tradition. Even through the Age of Strife.
I can try to elaborate on that more.

That's a little much backstory for a character we know nothing about. Also, Katanas were invented around 1300 A.D. so you missed the mark by a few thousand years.

Not plate armor, no, you're not cutting through no matter the weapon, you'll have to stab to get results
Its true, the power field does the work, the weapon does very little, although I guess you can turn the field off and use the blade on non armored people.

Depending. Usually weak spots are under the arm, knee, and a very small jap between the neck and helmet. Katana hits any part listed above, that appendage is coming off. Power field or not.
51866
Post by: Bobthehero
You talking about power armor or not now?
Because if its agaisnt plate armor, not a chance in hell, a bevor and a sallet means you have to stab through the tiny visor, the armpits and knees are fully protected (from the front). Furthermore, you won't cut limbs in one easy slash. Bones and muscles get in the way.
Now with Space Marine strenght, things are different, obviously.

Old medieval armour btw, anything else is purely thoughts. Have you seen Katanas do their thing? If it hits the exposed underside of a arm, it will come off. Doesn't matter who the person is(Barring super gene-hanced people). And generally, the armour inbetween the helmet and neck is only chainmail. It would prevent the through-and-through cut, but would still kill anybody it hit.
51866
Post by: Bobthehero
No, maille armor is ridiculously good agaisnt cutting weapons. Its part of why European swords went towards the way of stabbing (and being two handed)
I've seen katanas, yes, they're extremely overrated, probably on the same level as the longbow, its ridiculous.
99215
Post by: Sgt. Vanden
We have very different views on weapons. Im not saying that mail armour is gak, Im just saying that being struck in the neck with a purely metal weapon rendered blunt by the mail will at least reck the windpipe. A strike to the elbow with chainmail would definately be less effective however, but as far as I've seen, the elbow is usually unprotected.
51866
Post by: Bobthehero
The maille prevents the blade from cutting and the padding underneath absords most of the blunt effect. The only advantage a katana would have over an arming sword (because longswords came out by the time maille was being largely replace by plate armor for those that could afford) is that it would be used with two hand, so you'd have more strenght behind the blow. Knights used piercing weapons or blunt weapons to kill eachother in armor.

The trouble with that match-up is that, while both can be assumed to be of quite similar quality in terms of skill and attitude in battle, the Knight is significantly larger and stronger and also has significantly higher-quality equipment available to him at most points in history - European steel is much higher-quality than Japanese steel, as the latter didn't have access to a lot of iron and what they had was quite poor in comparison (this was what the famed 'steel folding' technique was actually for - not a secret trick to make a super-sharp blade, but a means of making the most of bad iron by diffusing the carbon content throughout the metal).
