As for our third Leman Russ, we have been given it, so we have some heavy support.

Commander Seric: thank you Marshall Larkin, sir. The Emperor's Honour and her crew will prove what we can do!
Also Luna, I would request you stop this bickering with JayneKateBob, I don't need my driver put in the penal legions before or first battle!

Luna Pintus: Yes sir!

"pyro": uhh sir i have lost myself on the list, have i been transfered?

You should be there pyro, check again

105-SWO JayneKateBob - Tank? Respectfully, sir what the hell do I know about tanks? You can't sneak in a tank? I guess if you need warm bodies to man the guys though, I'm your gir...man, sir. What tin can of a death trap should I report to, sir?

I'm just saying, them having a massive barreled cannon capable of taking out a space marine squad in a single shot, and you have a rifle not that capable of penetrating a marines armour, if you want to level the playing field you can

I shall level the playing field with my mind! Just keep the commissar away if he is trigger happy.

It's impossible to field you both :p bad for regimental organisation

20-Pvt. "Ballasar" If I may be so bold sir. Might be best to leave the black coats on the landing ships sir. They aint Catachans, they don't know squat about jungle warfare, they are trigger happy, and did I mension they aint Catachans? Besides that they have a nasty habbit of falling into quick sand, or being on the wrong end of weapons malfunctions.

151-Pilot Karrick-The Lord Commissar is Catachan. At least... that's what he told me...
131-Ovr. Purple-Anyone whose weapon 'malfunctions' in the direction of the good commissar gets to join me in the suicide squad.

Our commisar was handpicked from the commisariat for both heroism and long term service on planets similar to catachans, so he may not be one of us in body- but is in spirt, so i should think overseer, if he does fall into quick sand, or suffer a malfunction that you are right, we will have more cannon fodder than before.

105-SWO JayneKateBob - respectfully, sir I may just stick with my longlas. You can't yell "Surprise assassination!" And shoot someone in the latrine in a tank. Just doesn't have quite the same effect.

Commander Sigmund Reporting...

What will my weapons load out be on my Demolisher? can I request Heavy Flamers and Multi Meltas?

My Beast will be named "Marshall's Wrath" if you are happy with that sir...

As you wish JKB

Heavy flamers and plasma cannon is the current loadout, but i will talk to the servitors, get them to re-equip it

i also have your crew ready for you and shall name her now.

I see you have allocated me:
Gunner Tazz
Driver Key?

I do hope these lads know that there is only one place I expect to be on the battlefield... down the enemies throats!!!

and no one starts drinking at the end of it until the last piece of entrails has been cleaned out the tracks!!!

It has been shifted around slightly- Gunner Schrute, a crack shot with a demolisher cannon- claims to be able to hit a grot at 1,000 paces and driver wolfhead, he is rash and has a slight attitude issue, but i am sure you can handle him

I like attitude issues!!!

as long as his right foot stays plastered to the floor and our nose at the enemy we will do fine!!!!

I lay a challenge down to the other crews!!!

a case of beer and a carton of back sticks on who gets to grind more ork burger with your tracks...

the loser gets to clean the winners tank!

Thats the attitude commander! and Arkanian is your man for this bet, commander seric prefers the long range infantry support role as opposed to leading the charge

156 - Pilot Riellan - Perhaps not, but yelling "Surprise assassination!" and then stomping on the enemy's latrine with your sentinel would certainly have quite an effect.

But pilot, one would have to question how much of a suprise it would be.

i'm driveing... pray to the holly throne. hahahaa.... might have to tinker with the engine... give it a bit of exrta speed...with your permition of corse sgt.? hahahaaaa....

105-SWO-JKB - ....sir? We 'actually' have a commissar? I thought that was a rumour started to lighten the mood of the regiment and get the troops practising their stealth and crack shooting skills.

So...just a casual question completely unrelated to anything that may have been previously said by anyone at all whatsoever....who's the dodgy go-to-guy in every company that can get everything and run the books on how long certain officers may survive in the field......

Lord Commisar Von Humps is the commisar and he is a proven gallnt hero worthy of being in a catachan regiment, i hand picked him specially for our regiment. if he were to die in a friendly fire 'accident' then i may 'accidentally' sign off the careless trooper to a penal legion.

I say he would be surprised...

If the other tank crews wanna make things more interesting I'll take that bet blindfolded for the first battle just to make it fair.

we will be operating a single tank rotation, if you want me too, i will make a kill league of enemy kills, regular sized things such as marines count for 1, terminator size to 2 and vechicles 5
