(I had not forgotten, I assure you. Tyrants aren't the only synapse creature, they rely on other beasts like warriors ect to extend synapse ranges. As they cannot be everywhere to command every being, the loss of a major synapse creature would screw up the command net)

Muderfex remains in the safety of the mycetic spore pod. However, aware of the tactical situation... It is deemed that surface fortifications would be of little use. Mawlocs / Trygons & raveners ect. are gathered to tunnel their way deep underground & create a base of operations out of the range of artillery fire. V shaped tunnels are employed at the entrances to prevent the ability to just drop a bomb in and watch it roll down inside.Snaking tunnels within are employed to obfuscate firing lines and shorten visible area. If the other xenos or imperials wish to throw themselves into the mouth of the beast, they will have to fight on the whims of the hive.

The murderfex, for the time being, remains topside. amongst a great number of mycetic spore pods that are seemingly abandoned, there is no way to ascertain it's presence amongst them.. And no way, barring sheer luck, to find the one the devious beast is interred in.

Wait for the reinforcements and other friendly forces, plan tactics while waiting.

(alright so the status bomb was just me being a touch sour about having my fluff thrown in my face, but do you guys mind if i make a chaos char to keep them moving?)

not at all. go ahead. we actully need more people than we currently have.

hey Ledabot tell me when the project is ready. Meanwhile the base prepares for action. Mawlocs will burrow underneath a small network of caves which the smaller hormagaunts and termagaunts. all tyranids prepare for an assault.

Name: Tyranic

Full Name: Tyranic Daegos Arelas Marta

Appearance: Chaos space marine in heavily modified terminator armour, a banner of slaanesh extends from the rear plating, the lower legs are slightly mutated into massive hooves that are welded into the plate. The helmet consisted of a faceplate of ensorceled marble mixed with plasteel and gold. the helmet then arches back into the armour. His face is mutated into a blank slate with a thin mouth and bloodshot eyes, no nose or ears and his armours autosenses are joined directly to his brain, his body has been destroyed in battle so many times that he is more machine than man, he is practically a suit of enchanced armour with a warped CSM brain controlling it.

Prsonality: After being crushed in the warp for 3000 years he has lost all sense of morality or passion, he is a perfect worshipper of slaanesh always attemping to restore his flagging nervous system to its former glory with incredible acts of decadance.

History: Once a loyalist Space Marine of the Black templars his ship and crew were lost in the warp for millenia and the spawn and followers of chaos found and rebuilt his body into the near machine it is now, always searching for the exaltace of battle and the adreniline it brings he takes every opportunity to destroy those who he believed left him for dead, holding no loyalty to any bar his appropriated patron, slaanesh. He takes what he wants and many whisper that slaanesh will not let his champion die. He wages a personal crusade against the Black Templars and those who work with them, he takes the fight to those who left him in the warp for all those long years.

Wargear: Blastmaster, Modified Lightning Claws (just allows them to be equipped over the Blastmaster)

In space a massive warp jump unfolds spewing hundreds of ships into the surrounding space that engage the remaining fleets, the main assault however is a decoy allowing several thousand chaos droppods to scream to the surface near the chaos base, the sky is blackened in places with the numbers,

They thunder down spewing forth tides of renegade warriors, who quickly decimat ethe small resistance in the area and reninforce the chaos stronghold, in the midst of them a warp portal opens and a hulking figure in terminator armour strides through the breach with a group of just as heavily armoured warriors behind him, (only teleport this char will do unless someone else teleports me its just his entrance)

Tyranic Marta oversees the army around him bringing the full weight of his will down upon those who tarry, eventually the army enters the fortress and begins to enhance its size and defences as several companies of iron warriors came down in the drop

The commlink in his helmet splutters into life, "mission accomplished overlord, we have succesfully deployed all ground troops to the surface, pulling back into the warp"

Tyranic grunts into his visor, "Excellent ensure that none of these dogs follow you, we must make sure the Allpower is protected, the fleet is too powerful to be trapped fighting here, out"

"out" As Tyranic makes his way to the spire peak of the fortress, in orbit the chaos vessels jump back into the warp leaving only the wrecked hulls of their enemies as proof they were there. Tyranic opens the door of the Spire peaks tip and sees a powerful figure in the center of the command room, immediatly he drops to his knees and bows his head. "We thought you had died great sorceror"

The sorceror in the room turns and instructs Tyranic to rise "These dogs cannot kill me (maniacal giggling), I am far to powerful for that. You have done well, these reinforcements are timely, and well looked for, you will now proceed to gather reconnasance about the forces on this planet, we must not fail this battle, the secrets contained on this planet are to valuable to lose"

"As the gods command"

"Let it be done"

"And so with this breath"

"We curse the false Emperor" The sorceror finishes the ritual and sais as Tyranic turns to leave, "Do not fail, you dont want to make me angry, I have already lost one source of fun to the Tyranids i will not lose these weaklings as well"

"As the sorceror wills, I will now go to my warriors and make these fools wish they had never stepped on this planet."

hi guys i am following you awhile and i want to join the game
so is that possible?
if yes heree are my stats:

name: arogh the flamebearer
chapter: salamanders
rank: captain of the 4th company (the fire devils)
background: on nocturne the salamanders of the 10th needed to do an ritual to become an battle brother with power armour. they needed to slay an salamander and bring his carcass to the armoury. on that mission they found him arogh. he was only 7 years old and was living fully by himself in an cave. they took him and raised him as their battle brothers. and so he became an battle brother on the age of 52 (which is quite young for an space marine). in his actions as battle brother he fought against many and one of the most memorable things was the fight on armaggedon to save civilians from an artillary bombardment. risking his own life to save the child and his mother.

wargear: nocturne's wrath (an master crafted thunder hammer) the flame of Hephaistos (an self forged flamer)
and the terminator armour: the black dragon

Whoah another Space Marine. There are hordes of them!


They MUST be popular.

But sure I don't see why not. Of course even though I created this RP in the first place you'll also need the thumbs up from Ledabot, the GM

Shas'ui T'au Kais wrote:Whoah another Space Marine. There are hordes of them!

I assume you're counting chaos. lol one highly inactive player (who somehow got away with being a codex character + some extra mary sue) and one new player.. hardly makes a horde! (remember the space wolves team is out)
Sadly there are a couple players who started and kinda just never went anywhere, or aren't consistent for whatever reason. I was hoping to see more involvement from those factions!
I guess today IS christmas! Hope you guys get some nice presents & tasty nom noms!

OOOOOOOH yeah, lots of good stuff

Ah I must be getting mixed up with the old Rak'noll one when there were many players at one point who were SM's and also there were a lot of chaos

ok so i got from 1 player and green light now the other gm and my try of purging rak'noll with holy prometheum is a go XD

Hmmmm. yes there are currently 2 players that are sm. Nocturne's wrath and Catos (last posted on the 13th) hardly a large amount.
perhaps start with saving your guard friends from depresion.

On a sad note, me and my family are going away till the 11th of jan on holyday. we will not have internet access. (NOOOOO!) This of course means that I wont be able to gm. :(

ill do it if you guys want, i have quite a bit of experience gming for games like dnd, so if ledabot sends me the plot ill gm on a vote of course i wont be arrogant enough to claim leadership just like that

sorry but i am not gonna vote for you marta I think someone else should take up the reins.

i think thats green light from the gm so i will begin

when returning to nocturne after fighting in the vengistan sector. they received multiple destress calls from the planet of rak'noll.

"sir we are receiving multiple emergency calls from the planet of rak'noll."

"ok full speed to the planet of rak'noll, we need to aid the emporers loyal servants as it is the honour code of the 4th"

"yes sire"

"when in range ask the loyalists for their coardinates and go in defencive positions, as we dont want to get backstabbed. so activate all the radars and bioscanners, and watch out for anything strange"

"sir yes sir"

(on the comlink) "al personal to defensive positions it looks like we are not going to nocturne after all."

nice, i like your style. Hard to believe you joined dakka just to be a part of this
I guess I did spend a lot of time lurking before I joined.
Whoa man, GM's out again? Who is going to do it now?

Well I did start this RP but I am not sure whether I should GM

Seems fitting for you to take GM for awhile, unless the issue is that you don't want to do it. I would do it but i'm only on when the majority of the players are asleep

Hmm who think I should GM?

Do it, you have my vote

my vote 2 and yes i joined dakkadakka just because of this rpg. so that says alot about the awsomeness level of this rpg XD

ill vote for ya

And srsly evaelc dont be an arse you could have just said nothing

Ok I will do it for you guys

Can everybody just give me a status report on their current situation in a PM or just in the RP (might be easier), so that I can provide some options.

Im in the Chaos base about to go see my troops and gather recon
