Slaughter Lord Shamanos senses the psychic nattering of Eldar vermin. Unable to control himself he orders a raid on the witches, capturing more soul stones to desecrate in his leisure. He moves his forces to Ultramar and reinforces.

It was dark. It was entirely shrouded in the command deck of his eldar cruiser, save the sparse green light from the holo-display. The autarch tensed in his command chair as coldness chilled his bones. The door slid open and a warlock stepped in, carrying a small object. "Autarch, I have this for you, from farseer Nuril herself' said the warlock flatly, "it is incredibly urgent". The autarch took it from the advancing warlock, and skimmed over it.

"I see..." muttered the autarch under his breath. "First, ready the warriors" ordered the autarch, as he glanced up at the warlock. "Tell your farseers to bring me more information on these *World Eaters*..." placing the report carefully on the table next to him.

"As you wish", the warlock responded, walking out shrouded by an erie silence. After the door slid closed behind the warlock, the autarch looked up. He didn't want to look him in the eye, damned psykers. The room was almost instantly warmer as the warlock left, which made the autarch immensly grateful.

"You, set a course for Ultramar" he ordered the pilot. "We will help our brothers from Zandros, greater forces are at work here" he said to himself. Autarch Zanail walked took a long walk to the crew bay, as he readied himself for the long fight ahead.

Two hours later, closing in, his cruiser opened up on the enemy warship. Its advanced weaponry doing virtually nothing to the behemoth infront of it. Autarch Zanail overlooked the preperations. Multiple landers and fighters being loaded. He took a long breath as he watched the warriors of Ulthwe prepare to defeat the ruinous powers of chaos.



So, I suck at writing, wanna fight about it?

@ff, if you're on, you might as well go ahead and set up a move for Biel Tan before the stroke of midnight.

As much as I would like to, I will not step in as leader of the Biel-Tan unless I get a clear answer from Manchu as to whether the faction has been truly orphaned and if Erasoketa wants to step in first because he was the first one out.

Until I get a clear green-light to take the helm, I will not touch them.


@All Posters-I do ask that the Biel-tan be left untouched until Manchu gets this sorted out. The real purpose of this game is that it is an Alpha test shake down run to find and address problems rather than WAAC. We are also setting the precedent for the flavour of the game. I feel that the fluffy comments made within the posts have been a very pleasant suprise for Manchu and most of us.

Thanks, ff

Lord Shamanos was covered in blood. In his chambers he took hold of another screaming eldar captive. It ranted at him in its ridiculous sing song language. He understood only the word Zandros. He held it by its hair as his dagger sliced a jagged cut deep in the xenos’ throat. Lifeblood spluttered then poured out of the wound covering Shamanos, cleansing his armored form. A great shudder went through the floor causing Shamanos to drop the corpse. The other captives went quiet. One began to laugh as another shudder was felt through the ship. Shamanos strode over to the irritating xeno. It spat at him. Shamanos smiled at the xeno, chained to the wall hand and foot. He plucked the stone from its armored chest and crushed it. He saw fear in its eyes even as it laughed. With a roar Shamanos made two quick slashes on the xenos wrists severing its hands. Gasping in pain the xeno slumped awkwardly to the floor, blood jetted from its thrashing limbs. Admiring his work Shamanos made a perfect slice through the skull of pathetic creature. What passed for its brain slid out onto the floor as another shudder went through the ship. Shamanos tore a piece of it and ate it through his warped helmet’s vox grill. He could sense its pathetic agony, its pleasing rage and its desperate hope. Hope for rescue, hope that the psychically sensed Ulthwe fleet would destroy them. Another shudder followed by an explosion was felt through the ship. Casually Shamanos slashed the throat of the next captive and the next and the last. They bleed freely now, gurgling. “Plenty more where that came from” chuckled Shamanos.

The Kraken moves to Alpha.

There not much narrative you can do while playing nids

The Lieutenant's hunt had changed, no longer was he searching for the Saim-Hann remnants a new order had come down. His warriors were to attack the Eldar of Craftword Zandros in a quick raid, then return to the orbiting vessel. With bolter and blade in hand and a wicked smile on his face he lead his Astartes against his opponent, then as quickly as they had appeared the Night Lords vanished.

On board the Strike Cruiser the Captain pondered about the current situation and where they should run to, the door behind him slid open and in stepped one of the Sorcerer's errand boys bringing a simple message. The Ulthwe are in Ultramar, his path was now clear, with his forces now on-board he ordered the ship to set sail.

Night Lords attack Zandros, then head to Ultramar from The Eye of Terror, reinforcing as they go

True dat. "The Hive mind turned it's baleful eye to the Armageddon system. Feeding grounds were to be had there." Maybe?

_________________________________

Vostroyan High Lord Nicholai (self-proclaimed) viewed the charts on the table before him. With a grimace he scattered them to the side. The much needed alliance with the Eldar had fallen through. Things had looked hopeful for a while, overtures had been made with the Saim-Hann and even the Seers of Ulthwe. In return for sparing their Craftworld, the Saim Hann would aid the Vostroyans in their fight against the heretic. Ulthwe had been true to their word, fighting by Vostroya's side in Epsilon, but the Raven Guard had proved too eager to hold back their enthusiasm for killing xenos and had refused to stand down. True, they had been denied the final strike by the renegade scum, but the destruction that the Raven Guard had wrought was all too telling, and their renewed crusade in the making against Zandros would only make things worse. Any further offers of alliance with the Eldar were all but impossible. Already, the envoys that had been sent with condolences for the loss of Saim Hann had returned. Well, their severed heads had anyway.

And now he had these filthy greenskins at his door. About as useful as allies as they were enemies. (Sorry, mate )

Lord Nicholai sighed and sunk into his seat. He stared hatefully at the letter before him, sealed with the Royal Ring of the office of High Lord. Within was the letter that would annul the alliance between the Vostroyans and Adeptus Astartes. He wieghed the options. Everywhere, the alliances he had worked so hard to further and maintain were collapsing, he was this close to losing his own fellow Cadians in the madness. Thankfully, they had remained faithful allies, staunch as always. It was for them, and not the Raven Gaurd, that Vostroya was beggining it's march to the Eye of Terror. Lord Nicholai placed the Proclamation of Annulment. The last thing Nicholai wanted to see was enemies of the Raven Guard, but if things continued as they were, he would have no choice.

Lord Nicholai frowned deeply. He was running out of options.

This is getting better. Good work.

What the story work? Or the tactics? ...Or the fact that Chaos seems to be running circles around everyone?

Story. I quite liked yours.

I wasn't aware of this. I been just skimming the thread these days, not reading and thinking stuff like when I was alive If Biel-Tan are again available to play and you would like to use them, no problem for me. But yes, we better wait for Manchu to say someting about Morgrim or DDre.

I personally prefair to re-read the threads, think about how the things are evolving and try to think good ideas for the Game Two.

Well then, I want you to start and end all of your posts with the following:

Om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

If you're attacking Chaos, just do the following:

Om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom mmm....Khorneflakes! munch munch ....gulp...Om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

If you're attacking Orks:

Om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom munch munch....ptui! fungi!...bleh... Om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

You get the idea.

DDrE has--as I said--until turn's end today. B-T cruisers are drifting until then. My conclusion remains that ff should take them over.

Raven Guard still maintains repairs after the fatal accident.

I confess I suck at creating names.

Followup of day 5 ( if I counted correctly..):

*Techmarine: This should work now, the adjustments of the agents of the =I= have been undone*
*Cpt: Now, its too late.... their moving already. Anyway , what was gathered here?*
*Officer:
*Officer: identification successful. Battlebarges and Strike cruisers, all of them have set course to Ultramar.
Vessel are Pattern M30-31 mostly and marked as excommunicate traitoris. Ident code hitns at World Eaters and Night Lords.*
* Cpt: .... hoped for brother astartes to join us. So be it. Comms ?*
* Officer: None of our Hails were answered. But we got a message via shuttle..*
*Techmarine: all systems were checked, the appropriate offerings to the machine spirit made and I am reassuring you its not our fault
or a technical failure ( omnissiah preserve us ) that we cannot reach the IG units.*
*Cpt : I see, brother, so back to these other ships...*
*Officer: Yes,identified as eldar pirates, some of them on our flanks.*
*Cpt: Ummm, SOME?*
*Officer: ....sir....theyre hard to catch...but I am sure its only a few, 2 or 3 so to speak..*
*Cpt: Would prefer valid data, but why not. Lets show these annoying pirates how we deal with those damaging his imperial property.
Let us drift close by and launch some boarding parties....*
*Cpt: and this message still begs for a reply.
So let it be known, that we, the sons of Corax, cannot allow the honor of the astartes put into question from the selfproclaimed
"High lord" of these 'firstborn'. Theyre under the scrutiny of the =I= and I shall have a request to sector command to investigate
their loyality further as they seem to fail their duty to the throne, again. I will not doubt the wisdom of those giving them a chance
to repent for their failure once, but twice? The lives of the IG and ours belong to our Lord and Master, his eternal majesty at Terra,
blessed be his name and damned be his enemies.
We have no proof, whose fault the loss of our Templar Brethren was, but this cannot continue. Answers need to be given and if we
fail here this sector is lost to the Imperium.
Astropath, inform the sector command of our findings, our collected data upon traitor an xenos forces and do also copy it to our
"friends" (which need to be reassured we dislike "adjustments" to our data storages) of the selfproclaimed watchful eye...
Yes, i think they should deal with this "high lord" ....*

Gathering his brothers again, a decision has to be made.
*Cpt: His wrath was well delivered upon these pirates, but we will not waste more time here.*
*Cpt: Contact the Cadians and Inform them that we consider their attention is needed and their target practice has to be this fleet of
zandrosian pirates at our heels. A salvo at them should assure us of their alliegiance with the IoM. If they refuse, our doubts have
come true and the IG is tainted with false promises of "retirement plans" "free wellfare" and "free choice of theathre of war".*
*tactical analysis has it, that IG will suffer 110% casualties if they don't hold the line and I for one assume the Orkz will not forfeit their chance to be part of the fun.*

Ordering Cadia to attack when they could reinforce from 18 to 20? I didn't know that the Imperial Guard were the lapdogs of the Astartes.

Lapdogs ?

Umm. i had the impression Cadia didn't move last turn at all so why not get this a bit more lively and ask to
actively contribute with a request of assistance?


I know, IG should be at 20, orks too and nids at 25, so we weaksauce participants with our mere 10 are just sidenotes in this event.
Not to forget the CSM at 15 and eldar still here. Agreed, the silent ones did a decent job at hiding and I'll go down in flames soon.

But, hey I am A SM here and were created to die in battle.

So why am I not entitled to request fire support IYO ?

DD is trollin' don't be bothered. Like a set of tits (ref DD's Avatar) he is trying to divert attention away from him (face lol).

The Nottwotch Swashbukklaz are on the move.

On to the Eye of Terror, searching for ever greater opportunities for acts of "pirasee".

Move to Eye of Terror (delta). Reinforce (2).

The Red Corsairs move to Beta, and man do I want to smack those Eldar pansies around. But, grudgingly, I'll simply reinforce.

New turn

The Ulthwe forces had pulled back, damage had been light. Slaughter Lord Shamanos was not to be distracted from the hunt. Eldar of the Zandros forces would bleed freely. He sent his fleet to the eye and ordered an offensive. By Khorne their skulls would be his!

The Guard shall not stand for the idle threats of the so called Astartes. Their weakness is unbecoming of the Emperor. They shall be destroyed.

I attack and reinforce.

I got caught up in the Game Two thread and forgot to mention this:

focusedfire is now controlling Biel-Tan

The betrayal of the IG revealed, the Ravens send à distress Call to Terra and Deliverance.

Why?
