Sorry for the lack of blurbs. College is kicking me in the teeth again

I'll kick both of your asses in BFG. None can stand the will of the Righteous!

If I had more time to game I'd like to test you on that Vanden

I'm just echoing what the Mods said.

Jesus Christ mate, it was literally 5 posts. If it was a page of banter and OT gak, I'd understand, but 5 posts? People can literally read all of that in a minute.

Agreed some of the stuff that is OT is what make CoF great, that is unless Whale panties is on topic

For a more on topic post, has anyone gotten word about what's been going down in New Pavus? I'm not looking for spoilers, just wanting to see when a good time to do another post with my sion peeps is.

Well I know the outcome of the battle which seems to be decisive for whoever wins (I dont wanna spoil it) Im not sure who is writing it up however

Am I even getting a chance to roll for the ground battle, or is it just going to be a case of "LOL Feth you, you won/lost the air battle so there is no rolling for the ground battle"

I'd imagine the ground battle has a separate roll, with the air battle causing a modifier for it. IE, if you won the air battle, you get a good modifier, and the opposite if you lost.

From what Irish said the battle went decisively. Here's hoping my Guard don't get mauled too early

Yup rolls are done and we lost, too bad, personally I am glad New Pavus is dine with. I'll write my blurb that happened before the battle but that's it.

There's still the ground battle. Unless we're not being allowed to roll for that

That is the ground battle, the air one gave both sides a bonus, so they pretty much canceled each other

So I didn't even get to roll for the ground battle? Peachy.

I think something along these lines is what happened

EDIT: Just checked to be sure and bother the Tillers and the imperium got a +5 modifier due to both bob's aerial victory and my own aerial victory. There were other modifiers in place too, if anyone wants to see them i can send them on what i know

Tiller Victory

As the irregular Tiller militia troops storm High Knight’s wall those still loyal are forced to abandon the city. The Tillers lower the old flags of Crion and raise their own colors.

Aerial Victories counted for 5, so they cancelled out.
War Kitten, your forces counted for 5, as fresh new troops, but seeing as the Tillers had two forces doing just that as well, we got +10.

When I first attacked New Pavus, I never thought there would be a seperated aerial battle, and we'd all roll for the combined attack. Apparently not, and the main commander of each army controlled the ground forces.
If the Salvar had got a spare roll on the ground table, so would both the Disciples and Prin'shek Tau. It's not like we got more rolls than anyone else. If anything, only having a single roll would be slanted in the Imperials' favour, as they had two armies compared to the Tillers' three.

It really wasn't a case of "you lost aerial battle, you lose all" - we both lost aerial battles. They were just seperate, and affected the ground war. And much as I sympathise with being hit hard as you first enter a warzone, that same exact thing would have happened either way. That's always a problem with PC vs PC battles - someone has to lose. So rolls were made, and decided that.

At the end of the day, the modifiers weren't even needed.

Ok wow, I wasn't expecting the roll-mods to be all positive...

It looks like another siege is needed. Siege specialist calvary is unusual but looks like that what my guys are going to be.

I'm not irritated because we lost. I'm irritated because after I lost in the air l was just told that I lost and to GTFO. I got to do nothing else except be a modifier.

Acidic projectiles, poisoned rounds, or warp magic would do it.

Cue Istaavan V and the Life Eater Virus

That was specifically designed to destroy filters and seals though. The same dudes can wander around in a vacuum, bizarrely.

Isn't there a pseudo-cooldown period between sieges to prevent permanent sieges? Just curious.

The same thing happened with both the Disciples and Prin'shrek Tau. If the Imperials had won, our entire invasion force wood have had to GTFO purely based on how I rolled, and I was prepared to risk that. Harsh, but seeing as it worked for both sides, fair.
Bob didn't seem to object, so chazz went ahead and went with that. But just having a single roll actually supports the Imperial side, as you had less armies anyways.
Still, I do see your point, and sympathise with that.

Tactical_Spam wrote:Ok wow, I wasn't expecting the roll-mods to be all positive...

Agreed, but really, a positive for one army is a negative for the other. They'd generally cancel out. But yeah, some of the positives could have instead been negatives for the other faction.

Sort of I am reworking what I have in a word doc to have a Hive Cogger scene of work on the civilan populace, hunting down remaining heretics, and burning down choas stuff. But after that scene I was trying to figure out what to do with my Wyrm Guard as they are being called.

Redacted due to scrapcode error detection by the order of Ordo Machinum

We're probably going to have to try and re-take New Pavus. Maybe they can help out with that?

This thread is severely lacking Kharnage...

This will be fixed soon.

Remaining Heretics? You mean "the entire Hive" right? Cogger is nowhere near finished.

Is there anyone left in Cogger ? I presumed that the armies of the imperium killed every last heretic and burned the hive to cinders, maybe some portion of the population survived in the underhive but in the hive itself I wouldn't be so sure
