My map actually had terrain.

It had mountains, forests, jungles, plains, ash wastes, hive cities, ice caps, water, and deserts

Weather and some more Imperial stuff could be added, and maybe the map could be more detailed, but I did do the meat and potatoes

What is the back story anyway?

Imma just let chazz explain. It was his story.

I'm sure it's good, he has a lot to work with

Sounds like you could use the assisstance of some Kroot. They can be payed after the mission as well, if that's what you prefer. We're flexible.

Are there going to be any Tau in CoF II: Gardening is Magic, speaking of Kroot?

you'll get 50% before the battle, 50% after, and a portion of the loot, and your shaper's pick of "Food"

I don't think there is any Tau, as of yet. I for one am grateful for that, since it might complicate any mercenary work I do with others, since the Tau would be tripping over themselves getting me to go with their Greater Good. Although, that doesn't mean people can't do Tau, I just am happy without them. I can get over it if anyone wants to do them though, I don't want to take away other people's enjoyment over something like that.

Also, I can see you don't play lowball, Kharne. That is a fair offer, so I don't see why the Kroot would have problems with working for you, as long as your jobs are within reason, which I'm sure they will be. I would like to add that we will be going job by job for payment as well.

If you bring any live captives or casualties, the Admech will pay you on a per-head basis.
Corpses, we'll pay by weight, as long as 50% of the body is present.

Humans/abhumans only. We're not monsters.

Hmm, two headed abhumans better be on the run. The Kroot might be doing some head hunting. Twice the payment for one person is a pretty nice deal...

What would I pay the Kroot?

The negotiations have begun already I see. I need to find allies for my Knights then to keep up

That offer is to any force. Imperial, not, or other.
Perhaps you take over a base and have uncooperative prisoners. Perhaps you capture a general you plain don't like.

We can turn them into productive members of society. Or desk lamps. Your choice.

That's heresy

It's the AdMech, if you don't like what they do they'll just refuse to worship your toasters

Kroot will take a variety of items as payment. Say you have some form of rate creature the Kroot party hasn't encountered yet. The Kroot might be interested in that. Say you've got some extra weapons laying around, that might work too. Though they probably won't like gauss weaponry, since it doesn't leave much of a meal behind. They could also take credits, or raw materials such as gems, metals, etc.

I don't think that's how they work.

No, that's how Admech function.
Unless you mean accepting it from non imperial groups.
In which case I did say my head can be turned by the right offer. Nothing to do with heresy, my priority is progress.

I meant from non-imperials. They might negotiate with xenos (say Eldar), but they will most certainly not do it in the open or without a strong offer. I was a bit confused what you meant originally. I thought you meant "Admech trade with everyone, as they please."

Perhaps i can offer them some Necrodermis armor, perhaps just the metal?

I did say they're what I'd consider grey Admech.

In that in times of shortage, they're less picky about who they deal with.
They're not going to trade an Ork a shiny new shoota for a headless guardsman, but they may trade metals or servitors with a chaos force that offers them a crashed Tau shuttle to study.

The point being we're in a warzone, not an Imperial barracks store-room, and nobody is going to know.

That may be interesting if my Knights approach your AdMech for some repair assistance.

"Ah, here we are, the AdMech outpost, send a vox hai..... what the feth is that? Are those Chaos Space Marines?"

Unless we are watching you Buttery. Always watching

You'd bounce off the ion shield

If you are using an Assault ram within the atmosphere of a planet, you are doing it wrong.

I know, it's more of a transport thing

Now what kind of unscrupulously sociopathic force would I be if I did all of my trading in my literal back yard?

It'd be more like

"Greetings Enginseer, we are in need of- Is that an Eldar jet bike in your garage?"
"No." [Garage door slams]
"..."
"You want your knight fixing or no?"

Would the AdMech be interested in some Scarabs?

Kharne... You are the Necron equivelent of a flee market.

That's quite alright then. Out of sight out of mind. I might just need my stuff fixed on occasion.. And in return your AdMech get to repair venerable war machines.
