No but i assume the twins are not unarmed, she cannot be that naive to attend a 40k conference without some protection?
I do not have the biggest bodyguard, someone has 5 terminaitors, i only have two honour guard, and Vargos speaks for the experience vs the creatures on the ground.

True and depending on setting, Ulf is my least grim of the party with a taste for ferasian ale.
Sentinal is the most silent, and barely moves or talks unless its required.
hope she does, she has well, two rather diffrent creatures with her, a puritan inquisitor and several factions who has issues with eldar in general....

Fair enough. I don't want to make too many enemies just yet. Given how things are going between the imperial folks I'd consider myself luck if my character even survives this meeting.

Gallus already saw the DE, and I forgot to ask Smudge, but he'll brief the rest of the people regarding those two, to avoid incidents.
Edit: But I suppose that was before he got reports of the attack, and since Smudge already wrote his piece, its a little bit late, oh well, nothing major.

But whole Chapters are generally 1000 men strong? If you had your whole chapter in, that's about 1000 men. You started with that, IIRC? Or did you lose a ton of men before you even arrived in the campaign?

Great work as always, Smudge! I really liked how we all only tried to kill one another two or three times

How's this for a summary thing?
Lord Captain Fairfax - Rogue Trader, Lord Captain of the Reforged Sovereign and "fleet".
Edward Fairfax - Seneschal and adopted brother to L. Captain Fairfax.
Forces:
Captain Dekkal - Leader of the RS's guard regiment. Previous PDF leader.
Commissar Garth Salka - Regimental Commissar, unclear if actually a functional Commissariat member or has been "let go".
PDF sized regiment - unnamed.
Two standard Valkyries in house colours
One unmarked Arvus Lighter
One Aquila lander in house colours (additional armor plate visible)
Vessels:
Reforged Sovereign - 6.0 km Rogue Trader Cruiser - bears signs of having been an Imperial Navy vessel in the very distant past. Heavily modified, and decorated in House Fairfax colours. Appears to be dated post heresy, but not by much.
Lucky Farthing - 4.0km Ambition Class Cruiser - bears signs of having been in several conflicts, repaired and decked out in house livery.
Found Guinea - Standard sized small escort vessel - extremely fast, and well shielded. No insignia. Houses the Arvus.

Thank you, much appreciated chazz, keep the story as Shepard getting the kill but how about vargos lets Shepard exacute him as he swore a quick death but Shepard did not.
Shepard gets revenge. So does vargos, and not break oath. Perfect middle ground.
Its a fair compromise for both of us.

Shepard I need for a plan if the situation the crusade enters plays out right. Of course with dice anything goes.

Of course I chose to edit it slightly and make there's no action without concquences, the monster inside Shepard is a love hate thing for him, its his dark side but a side he regrets.

Aurelius was wary of the imprint left on him by the Remnants Sorceror. A potential taint like that could easily be enough reason for the Inquisitor to incarcerate him for.

I don't know if the character is actually that way inclined, but a Seneschal is somewhere between a maitre de, a first mate, an intelligence officer, financial advisor and the scariest bastard on the ship bar none, so the joke was more at his expense that he must be nice on formal occasions.

...Why in the butt? I can understand kicking him there, but I'm not sure why Selka deserves being shot in that particular place.
And I ought to point out he's not innately disrespectful, just really rude to people he thinks are inept. He sees the whole PDF and Fairfax as rich boys playing soldiers, and he's quite possibly right.

As long as Karak doesn't threaten his butt as well. 
Really enjoying having caught up enough to read the posts as they come out. Liking the latest one especially. Hoping when I get home, it ought to coincide with the Sovereign catching up with the crusade. At the moment I'm using the character interactions to give an idea of who you'd be dealing with, as there's a less spaced out back history.
Though RighteousRob, I think your spellcheck has done you a disservice, as I very much doubt your Chaplaib has most of his body replaced with arguments.

My marines are asexual! They just interact with humans and Ulf has gone off drinking with Shepard and has a strong bond with Petra.
Not sure how to explain it but, I might have to expand on that!

At the moment I'm using the character interactions to give an idea of who you'd be dealing with, as there's a less spaced out back history.

You be careful now Buttery Commissar, those arguments are very strongly-worded and not for the faint of heart. I hear that Chaplaib once beat an Ork Warboss into submission with the raw power of his reasonable and very eloquently worded arguments, which are stored into his body for just such an occasion.
Truly, the Space Marines are warriors without peer.

It's quite alright, I'm glad to write up stuff for my Histans. It's nice to have characters that can actually trust people, while Archarus has to keep one eye on every single person in his army, yet also promote them and be open enough to them as to not incite the one fear of the tyrant; the inevitable rebellion.

I feel like my post is the weirdest buddy-movie / cop film ever written. The bitter old veteran and the slightly younger guy who likes wearing cravats and doing sums. Maybe they'll drive their car through an apple cart shortly.
Ed puking wasn't an overreaction, there's a pt2 to clarify, and then we arrive with the rest of you.
But more seriously, I'm unsure who exactly is in the Guinea / scout vessel. Someone or a group of folk who benefit from travelling with the RT, but also scout and advise for their own reasons. RT deal with everyone from Xenos to radical Inquisition, so I'm uncertain.
Apologies for borrowing Falkon, Blackjack. I figured he'd appreciate the strangeness of the situation without reading it as sinister.

Put up a small planet we can go after to give us some focus. Kind of like the planet "murder" from the horus heresy i guess. Need to find a way to stop the atmosphere or bring them to compliance.

To take part, you can claim them on the OT thread, and then PM me your number and plan for the mission.
Julla is pretty barren, having taken a lot of ordnance fire from the NO fleet. However, some forest pockets do remain, but aside from the high temperature and barren landscape, the rest is Tau fortifications.

NPC orks, some on world in the deep valleys. There were lots of orks, and the boss was never killed off.

As for joint missions, unless your forces are working as a team, you roll individually. You may also end up having to fight each other for the right to have a victory, if you don't work together. I assume that you two are both going for Novus Regulus?

Some of the civilians on Trisburgh being recruited into the local guard regiments are not quite typical characters. In fact, you actually caught one with a tail! You can choose to pursue this manner covertly, or confront the recruitment governors about it.
I'm not even surprised that I'm on ass-inspection duty after how this topic has been going.
But yea, I'll drop off Blackjack's kids from playgroup and get on that.
Out of curiosity, did you have anything in mind as far as to why they have physical deformities, or is that open to interpretation? Im not super well versed in the chaos/xenos side of fluff, so I don't want to hurf durf on this.

So if I understand (which I likely don't), once I stop farting around doing fluff, I head over, propose to do a thing, give a number and then sgt_smudge says how badly I failed at doing the thing, and I respond? I don't just write the thing end to end as resolved?

Well I was thinking whatever was in there likes staying hidden and out of the action, so unless Fairfax's hand is forced, they're not going to reveal themselves.

My force was probably:
3 Tactical Squads
1 Assault Squad
Centurion Devastators
1 Venerable Dreadnought (Contemptor)
So that's about 44 bodies total (not including transports). 20% of that is just a hair over 8 casualties for me. If you're going by how a platoon is organized in the Guard codex you have.
1 PCS
2-6 Infantry Squads
A few Special Weapons teams (if you so choose)
0-5 Heavy Weapons Squads.
1 Conscript Squad.
That's just by the Codex; however, you can probably replace the Heavy Weapons with Sentinels in your case.

I was just looking at lexicanum, and it isn't very specific with details there. I'll probably go off of the codex list, but mat a few changes. Besides, according to fluff, regiment, squad, and platoon sizes vary largely.

Post by: War Kitten
Got up a blurb about the Eldar/New Order alliance potentially starting up.
The Platoon org I put up was my memory of how a platoon is organized in the Guard codex. You're free to mess around with it, that's just the basic layout.

Well, it's just a little exploration of one of Fairfax's "strays"; how Selka wound up alone.
It makes me swing between deciding the Guinea containing that fairly obscure branch of the Inquisition that deals with time anomalies, and sanctioned Xenos.

I hope you all are having a very good holiday season. I will be absent from the crusade for the next week or two .
2bj1,EoN, and anyone else in the coalition, I trust you guys can have the delegation with out me . Smudge, if you want, you can write my part in to the delegation.
TS, I don't want to come back and see a couple Nova Cannon shells inside my planet
Happy holidays to all, untill I return, then it's back to Dirge-Fethery

It's quite alright, WK. I've written worse on here, and I'm not afraid to admit it. One recommendation I have us maybe split if into paragraphs, so it's not just one block of text? I'm almost exclusively on here using my phone, so it makes matters worse, but that's more of a personal problem.
In hindsight, I apologize of my paragraphs are small sometimes, but that's because I also write everything on my phone. At the very least, now you gave me an idea in how to write up my bit, so thanks for that.
91468
Post by: War Kitten
I normally do use paragraphs. I didn't think it was long enough to split into two. I blame the college essays I've been writing the last few months. My Ultramarines are imitating their brothers at the very beginning of the Crusade.

Its not like you stay up to date on the campaign
Also on another hand, should I post anything that happens at Installation 934-A in here? I'm not sure if it deserves its own standalone thing, but it doesn't have much to do with the campaign

The survivors pack up and leave. I had a story I was making about the Histans awhile ago, and I might edit it to be a sequel to this. It did a lot of fluff breaking, as I wrote it when I was just scratching the surface of 40k. It's an ETA of an hour to read, not finished, and I have to edit what I do have. I'm not surprised I keep putting it off.

Also, if we did switch Crusades and location, I suggest we really bring the whole thing down. Instead of a crusade over space, we could reduce it to a single planet. Easier to make maps for it, and you can really work with boundaries and stuff like that. Also, makes a lot more sense with fluff (Seriously? How do fifty Astartes liberate Sandfall?

Keeping the crew safe and setting up your security? Yeah, I'd have a roll for it to see how effective the team you set up is. You could have a well-drilled force that the Imperial Navy would be proud of, or you end up with a bunch of spineless dogs with autopistols. But you could skew it one way of the other with what you do.
93655
Post by: Buttery Commissar
I was thinking that as a RT vessel is capable of doing total lockdown on civilian areas (think of it in terms of hull rupture the rest of the time), it'd be a roll for vulnerabilities on certain points. I can see there being an issue with crew with family keeping on their side of the fence if their willpower flags, etc.

It's quite alright. I mean, I know I've said it before, but I almost had to kill off Archarus within my first five fething rolls, because he was failing so bad. Good thing he's recovered by now, but is it bad that I didn't want to replace him mostly because I liked his name so much?
Also, if you're worried about screwing up, I could pick the next set of rolls, but I don't have that much luck either. I still have a different failure I have to write up sometime.

Very good stuff.
And WK, stop doing yourself down. This is about ideas and telling a story together, not about literary skill. Its the digital equivalent of campfire stories.
I agree that a single world could be epic as well as easier to manage. If this had been a ground campaign, I'd have joined from the start.
I'm in no rush to see this dead though. And hopefully the genestealers leave me with enough crew to see the sequel. Beginning to think three ships and three or four crew was maybe a little short sighted in terms of casualties.

I agree with BC, to quote Julius "Don't sell yourself short". - yes, I did just quote myself, in a way. No, I do not regret it.
As for the next crusade, may it be a long time before it happens, I'll sign up to have a villain again, but it probably won't be Archarus or an Iron Warrior. The Histans will probably be there (like, most definitely) as my good guys, per se.

I definitely think it should be a DOW style of Campaign (those of you who have played Soulstorm/Dark Crusade will know what I'm talking about, those who haven't really should get the games, as they are superb). Having it on one planet and fighting over territory will help everyone get into the campaign more. Right now I don't know where most people are, all I know is where 2BJ1 and I are. If/when the New Crusade starts up I'm definitely bringing in some Guard. I have some regiment ideas.

I'll have to take a look at that. An armored regiment with a vendetta of sorts could be very interesting. And destructive, come to think of it.

I'm slightly worried that if everybody and his hamster knows that Fairfax is there to inspect the regiment, he's going to be SoL trying to infiltrate subtly.
I was going to have him turn up and investigate under the guise of a recruitment drive. Being that he hadn't even told the planet he'd arrived yet.
