How do you outfank someone? DLS, Moar must be produced - there's only so much outflanking meme'ery a thread can take before it dies...

Where in the bloody hell is the fluff we depend on so much?

I AM THE IMPERIAL FIST!
I AM FEAR INCARNATE!

The fluff is already here, we simply haven't scrolled back to find it yet... To outflank an entire thread of frenzied fluff cultists must have taken some kind of Master Writer-SEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry i had to say it.

Back on topic. OH Mighty God of Fluff please give us more, what have we done to deserve this punishment?

I registered just to subscribe to this thread. This is AWESOME. I read the whole thing last night. It's a very plausible "what if" scenario.

If GW Hasn't obtained a copyright for "41k", "WH41k" or similar variants, you should go for it.

I wouldn't mind seeing more Orky goodness, but I am really looking forward to the Space Wolves and Ultramarines meeting face to face.

this is awsome

This is fantastic (wait, has anyone pointed that out?)

More please, much much more.

And for the record, I like ol' Rowboat.

I just finished catching up. Awesome doesn't even hope to cover how great this thread is keep going besides the grammar mistakes this is like straight of of a novel your should seriously consider writting novels notjust for GW but for other material as well.

And I hate him.

Back to topic, Give us MOOOOOOOOOOOORRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Oh my this is really great. I just read through the entire thread and it's really great.

small question.... when are you going to go back to the bullet point format? I like the new one and all, but i also liked being able to read everything that's going on.

Great job Dark Lord Seanron! I have been lurking around here for a bit, reading this fic, and I love it! Please return to the bulleted style, though.

You know how much I admire your work DLS and I want it to continue, but I too miss the bullet form of events occuring in the 40k universe (of DLS). Also, can you include the Ebon Drakes SM Chapter in your work somehow? I mean even if I am my chapter is wiped out in a last ditch effort to stop the World Dragon C'Tan would be awesome. Being included in your work is awesome.

If you're [DLS] taking requests (which I don't know if you are ) can I request adding in the 707th? Or Lubyanka for that matter? Like Advent, I don't care if they're only mentioned in passing or completely and utterly wiped out. It'd just be uber awesome to get my Guardsmen mentioned in such an awesome story.

Here's a quick overview of Lubyankan regiments. If you want to know more (if you are taking requests) I have more to give

Lubyankan regiments are mostly Mobile Infantry regiments. Mobile Infantry regiments tend to be smaller than the average Imperial regiment due to their reliance on combined arms tactics. While on paper Lubyankan regiments are broken down into Infantry, Armored, Artillery, etc. Regiments, in practice these regiments never go into combat in one group that are unofficially known as Mobile Infantry Regiments. They are instead split up and merged together with units from other regiments, resulting in units that are more proficient in combined arms tactics than the average Guard regiment. Of course, the trade off is that Lubyankan Guardsmen are not as capable in fighting battles without the heavy support they're used to.

Oh Mightly Lord of Fluff
there will be many offerings to you if you add my IG army the 501st Calvonian long range assult recon.
they are my guard wo use hit and run tactics in desert warfare and gurrila warfare, commanded by Colonel Lawrence. the officers and vetrans wear clothing similar to tallarens. but not the standard troops (they look like cadians in flak armour). they are known to incorprate survivors from other regiments found in the desert to boost their numbers.
Even if they are only mentioned or wiped out from the face of the galaxy, I don't care but it would be a great honour and you shall become the patron Saint of the 501st.

but if your not taking requests thats cool to

pleae can we have some more fluff

A few bullet points between bigger stories might help keep people on this thread sane, well as much as they can be

Trouble is with the bullet points, they generally deal with events that span a long period of time, wheras the awesome descriptions only cover a day to a week.

This is really good DLS, have you ever read the 'Conquerer' Series by Conn Iggulden? Looking at the stuff you write, I think you'd enjoy it immensly.

If you haven't heard of the series, Its a trilogy of books about the rise and death of Genghis Khan, and what happened in between. He has a style of writing very similar to your own, and the series is really excellent (as is yours of course... although it isn't a series (yet!)

Fixed that for you. A little shameless promotion, even if I have been insanely busy...

wow that old thread? hasn't that not been updated since private kay killed thousands of chaos boys with his plasma gun

Seanron. Good Seanron. Good, great Seanron. You've done it. You'be bloody gone and done it. You have written the single greatest fan-based fluff the world, nay, the universe has ever known. You are the Fitzgerald, the Shakespeare of the fluff-writing world. Quite frankly, you are goddamn awesome.

It took me a fair while to read through all of this, but by the God-Emperor was it worth it. There were moments I wanted to yell "NOOOOOOO!" in an unseemly fashion (such as the death of Ravenor) and moments when I actually did leap up, point at the screen and yell "FETH YEAH, SUCKA! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET!," such as the moment when the mysterious robed stranger (the emprah, methinks) showed Peturabo what the goddamn score was. I also liked the way you focussed on the other races, such as the Tau-Eldar war and the return of the Demiurg and old-school Hrud. Kinda sad old Ghazghull died the way he did, but still, what a way to go. Also, LOVED the return of the primarchs and of Magnus to the Imperium, that was one of the "FETH YEAH" bits.

I now await with bated breath for the next installment: I would love to see what has happened to the necrodermis-nids, and to find out how the Demiurg/Imperial Fists war goes. Whatever happens, you have won my soul, and that's quite a feat these days, by creating this masterpiece. I'd like to see a bit more from the Greenskins, what they are up to and what has happened in the wake of Ghazghull's death, but quite frankly, you could write about Lion'el Jonnson scratching his arse and I'd still read it.

Damn good job, sir, and by the love of all that is good and coated in sugar frosting, keep it up!

I joined the forum just to reply to this thread. I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed the whole fiction DLS and can't wait for more. I very rarely see fan fiction written at the level of quality that you do and it is refreshing to read a plausible future of 40k fluff (although I may disagree on some developments ).

Although I love the in depth following of battle for Terra I must say that I enjoyed the bullet point format more so. I think it is only due to the fact this was how the thread started and the pace that that format allows plot to develop at the expense of character development. However I believe you have already said that character development is not a priority in a fan fic that dominantly uses pre-created characters.

I enjoy both methods of story telling but I would almost love it if you ran them parallel. By this I mean you have the fast paced, quickly developing bullet point story telling that tells us the key events and how they unfolded and their result but lacks detail but also have stories when you have time like the battle of Terra that gives us attachments to smaller characters etc.

Just my 2 cents and appreciation for what you have done. Keep it up.
