Moar fluff!!!

I'm experiencing Good Fluff Withdrawls... Moar!!!

MOAR!!!

Moar please.

Its been so long... it must be epic

First of i got to say, the stuff is amazing. My hat goes off to you, your fluff-fu is truely something to be bowed to.

Second, reading this really, really, makes me wonder why hasnt GW moved forward with their fluff. Yeah i know they did some world wide campaigns with Armageddon, and Eye of Terror that effected the fluff, though i dont remeber how. And you have the HH books that are filling in some of the blank spaces in the fluff history timeline, but they have never dont anything overly dramatic to advance the timeline. Just curious as to why everyone thinks that is.

Keep it up DLS cause im hooked.

@Oppenheimer: Becuase then it will be known as 41k.

We need more!OMG 400th post.

Maybe he just took a break, just like I did. LOL 401st post in 41th millennium forum

Hi guys, don't panic I'm still writing stuff for this thread ^^ here's a wee snippet to keep you going, as what I am working on is lengthy and needs some uber-editting -_-

Dateline: The Exodite World Anhora

The Eldar have come to an agreement with the Tau Empire for a cease-fire. In an act of good faith, the Eldar have arranged a meeting between both representatives from the Tau Empire and themselves on one of their most sacred Exodite Worlds as ‘neutral ground. Days of painful and risky negotiation into who or what is in each embassy follow, with the Tau insisting on bringing an armed escort to the Eldar world, and the Eldar still reeling from the injustices done to them. Eventually an agreement is reached; The Eldar delegation will comprise several squads of Dire Avengers, Prince Yriel, a small detachment of Wave Serpent Transports and a Farseer selected from one of the Craftworlds yet to fight in the Xenos War.


The Tau begrudgingly agrees and agree that their own party should be led by the Ethereal Aun’o Sa’cea Ahiin Al’osh who had yet to see combat in the Xenos War. Ahiin is escorted by a large cadre of Fire Warriors and Crisis Suits, along with several Devilfish. The Kroot are not represented due to their insistence that the War against the Eldar should continue. The Empire also chooses a fleet not involved in the War to transport the delegates to Anhora. After much negotiation and conjecture, the commander of the fleet eventually agrees in the interests of the preservation of the species. And so, The Tau Peace Delegation makes its way to Anhora led by the Fleet of Shas'O Vior'la Shovah Kais Mont'yr: The notorious Commander Farsight.

Ooohhhh... sounding good.

Cool...Tau are FINALLY good guys, rather then over optimistic fish-faced xenos.

BTW, how about the eldar turn traitorous bcks to the Tau, thinking them naive, and sacrifice them to defend against a daemonic invasion on their own craftworld. When Tau retaliate, they find the closest eldar worlds evacuated since a long time, meaning this coup was prepared since a long time....Think about that!

OMFG! farsight?? Something's gunna go wrong... i mean.. just look at the blade. But yes, farsight could had been watching the whole war between them and the eldar... perhaps even the death of a craftworld? Perhaps even O'shovah would even go as far as to steal the sealed stockpile?

Whoknows.... what i do know is that Dark Lord Seanron is no mere mortal...

all I can say is amazing!! I was told about this thread through a friend at my local gaming shop and it's amazing i love it very well done. However like everyone else said I WANT MORE!!!!!

Im wanting to know more about the pylons on Cadia! The Eisenhorn novels had them in them and according to what inquisitor Quixos was doing with them was with a load of psykers used in conjunction with the pylon it would be used as a weapon that could destroy the Eye of Terror!! Cant wait to hear more on Cadia's situation also since thieir ultimate Tatical Geniusness has left.

The Third War for Terra

• The Loyalist factions led by Creed begin to make plans for a full invasion of Terra. Inquisitor Eisenhorn is certain that if they could reveal the true nature of the enemy to the Custodes, then they would also side with them. The Arbites and Jupiter Fleet however are too deeply entrenched in the Chaos subversion and would require purging.


• Operation: Fury of The Gods is a complex, three-fold affair, with each part relying on the success of the others, and the complete synchronisation of all involved.


• The initial stage of the Invasion will come from Creed and his fleet, which will approach the Jupiter Fleet at full Assault Vectors. Whilst damage will be heavy on both sides, Creed deduces his side will be the victor due to the experience of his crews and the superior design of his vessels. The initial Battle is simply a ruse, to allow stage two.

• Amidst the battle will be several ‘Stealth Ships’, deployed by the Mechanicum, which will close with the enemy vessels and deep strike in Skittari Assault teams to take key points in each ship. The beauty of this section of the plan is the make-up of the Skittari being used: each one has a thermo-nuclear detonator implanted in their cranium, so even if the Skittari fall, they will detonate their charges causing horrendous damage to the enemy vessels. In they event they are successful in taking the enemy bridge, then they are to hard wire themselves into the enemy control consoles and turn the enemies weapons on their own fleet.

• During the battle and Mechanicum stealth assault, the true nature of the attack is revealed: The entirety of the Grey Knights will punch through in a Drop Pod Assault aimed directly at the palace itself. They will hammer through and secure landing zones within the Palace grounds so both Creed and the Mechanicum can land ground troops and armour. The three Inquisitors will follow via Stealth Ship also, their primary objectives being the Throne Room, The Custodes Barracks and the Council Chambers.

• Creed will also send the Cadian XVII Armoured Regiment, The Valhalla VII Super-Heavy Division, the Catachan VV and the Cadian XXI Rangers to Mars to aid the Mechanicum in defending their forges from The Cult of The True Omnissiah. Although the Mechanicum have a dizzying array of weapons and Titan Legions at their command, most of these will be deployed to Terra to aid in Operation: Fury of The Gods. It is surmised by Creed that the Mechanicum splinter factions will most likely do the same and deploy their most powerful weaponry to Terra.

• And so, on the morning of the 50th anniversary of The Emperor of Mankind’s Death, his followers descended upon the world of his birth to usurp those who would flaunt his name.

Wow, I can see one hell of an epic battle scene in my head.

What a plan! He must be some sort of tactical genius!

Also, I've totally gotten addicted to this thread, check it at least once a day. Keep the fluff rolling mate!

Terra: known to antiquity as Earth. Planet of mankind’s birth.

As the Sun blazed down upon its bronzed surface, and reflected off the vast ecumenopolis that surrounded its majestic form, there was a pang of regret in Creed’s soul. As he stared through the tinted viewports at the world of his people’s birth, an incredible ache overtook him at what he must do. He remembered back on Cadia, when he was first being schooled at the age of six on the arts of war. He remembered his old tutors and Commissar-Lecturers telling him that to truly achieve the supreme tactical mind; he must be prepared to go beyond, and be prepared to sacrifice what he treasured most in order to secure victory.

He remembered reading vast tactical essays by Guilliman, Corax, Yarrick, Ulthaman, Andros and Dorn. Out of all these genius’ thoughts and advice, one thing stuck in his mind and stayed there like a splinter of wood, lodged forever to torment him. It was Dorn himself that said his second greatest regret was the nightmarish militarization he had wrought unto his Father’s planet, how he had tore down the glorious walls of the Royal Palace of the Human Race in order to defend it against the Arch-Traitor Horus. And now, here he stood, about to enact total war upon the world of his species birth in order to save it from itself. ‘Terra’ he thought ‘what monsters we are to defile you so…’



Terra: Astral Designation Alpha/Omega 115X. Sister Planet of Mars.

Fabricator-General Istavael adjusted her optical implants to filter out the harsh glare of the Sun. She stood on the bridge of the Mechanicum Forge Cruiser Linchpin, gazing at the amassed forces of the enemy arrayed before them. The Jupiter Fleet was vast, coloured grey like ocean waves on a freezing bay, ready to sweep over them and wash her and her allies away. At the last count, it numbered more than ninety vessels, all cordoned in a tight cage formation around Terra. Her optics focused beyond them and at the great sphere of the planet itself. She hadn’t been born on Terra: indeed, she had never even set foot upon its blessed soil, but Aurora felt a connection to this piece of astral detritus. It was the centre of her people, the great joining point for all mankind. Whether Mechanicum, Imperial, Psyker or abhuman, every human in the cosmos could trace their history to here. The thought comforted her.

She adjusted her cranial implants, and sent orders through the noosphere, informing the Industrial Servitors to prepare the Stealth Fleet for launch. She could detect Creed’s fleet moving to attack the Jupiter Fleets, and although outnumbered two to one, she knew Creed’s fleet had the tactical advantage. They had the Mechanicum on their side. Her Skittari Commanders informed her of their readiness and eagerness to begin. Their battle-lust stained the noosphere around her a deep scarlet, and usually she would cajole them for their fleshling bloodlust. But she needed them ready to fight, and if necessary to die, in the name of the Emperor and the Omnissiah. ‘Terra’ she computed ‘what monsters we must become to preserve you…’



Terra: The Emperor’s World, current home of the enemy.

Eisenhorn checked the clip on his bolt pistol for what seemed like the umpteenth time. His unsmiling face focused on the weapon, running through the mental rituals that were needed for the upcoming battles ahead. The bulkhead behind him sighed quietly open, followed by the light whispering buzz of suspension fields. “Are you well my friend?” enquired a mechanical but friendly voice.

“Reading my mind are we Gideon?” enquired Eisenhorn, partly in mirth but mostly in reservation “The Grey Knights would have a fit if you gave away our positions with your powers”

An electronic ping rang from the frame of Gideon Ravenor’s Grav- Chair, and Eisenhorn realised his old student was laughing. “I don’t need my abilities to realise something troubles you my friend. Come, trust your worries unto me as you did once before”

Eisenhorn sighed, and placed the Bolt Pistol down on the black velvet he had been using to clean it. He stretched his limbs, a dull ache ringing through his legs, and a faint squeal of resistance issued from his mobility harness. He stood slowly, and paced slowly over to his old friend, placing his hand upon the smooth metallic surface of his shell. If he could smile he would do so wearily, but the damage wrought upon him all those years ago had left their horrible mark.

“What if we’re not strong enough to defeat him, my friend, what if he defeats us? Who will stand against him? We have chased him from one side of the cosmos to the other, and he has eluded us at every turn. It’s as if the monster knows me, as if he knows what I’m going to do. I swear, when we face him I will gut him and send him screaming back to the foul pit from whence he came.” Eisenhorn was shaking with fury now. “I curse the day we ever encounter Cheru…”

“DON’T” blurted Ravenor “Don’t say his name…it could alert him to our presence. I understand your fears my friend, for they are mine also. But we will not fail in this, simply because we cannot.”

Again, Eisenhorn sighed, and stared out the porthole of the Strike Cruiser Aegissa. He could see the first lance shots from both fleets flare towards each other with the power of unbound stars. “Terra” he sighed “what monster has unmade you so…”
