No clue on either. 1hadhq, please take over Cadia. We will give Nightwatch some time.

Ok. Will do, until the admiral returns..
Was hard to track down their last orders.


Seems Cadia claimed Armageddon in his name.

Kill eldar! You have the power!

Grr, Machine spirit not reliable, got an echo....


I'll offer to play from the last vote of AB. If anyone thinks this is too outdated, you got 1 hour.

No, he doesn't, not yet.

But he's pretty close to being able to kill some Heretic Traitor scum....

Could kill more than that. Creed is with us. Now lets outflank something big.



Back to Strats:

*Refitting the fleet took its time and the loss of the astropath in the treacherous attack of the Vostroyans didn't help either.
With new orders arriving, Cadia was ready to strike.*

The strategium deck dimmed, the only source of light was the display of the hololithic cube of the planet below, the gathered officers
arranged at the table looked up as another person entered. "In absence of Admiral Bell, who still recovers from the hit these
emperor forsaken vostroyans dealt at our bridge, I colonel Kurtzweil , will temporarily accept command. In his name, in memory of our dead,
to honor Cadia and what it stands for, let us begin. We have wasted enough time.Any questions? I hope not."

[i]"First, make sure we are fully operational.Get me the closest targets and I want a clean hit on these 3."
-Aye, col, sir.
-Batteries ready, sir.
"1 salvo, full spread"
*shook by the recoil, Col kurztweil watched as the explosions ripped the surfaces of 2 vessels.*
"wait, didn't I order to aim at 3 of those ?"
-Aye, sir.
"So why is it just 2 beeing hit? Do we lack practice that much?"
-......
"ahem, sir, we expierenced a slight malfunction. Our escorts got the sleek vessels there, but we, ahem, missed, somehow..."
"MISSED? "
"We missed?"
*sunken back into the command throne, col kurtzweil waves a scribe closer to dictate new training routines*

Cadians prepare for war, Stay at armageddon and attacks (3?, missed 1) 2 eldar ships.

THe Artillery had forced off the last ork aussault, and a small break allowed Nicholai (hey, Predator dude , somebody getz me a minigun) to slump into the makeshit officers tent. Although his body demanded sleep, he had to look over the incoming messages first. His eyes strayed to one letter in particular. The Cadians, their stance so far unknown, had somehow made his way into his dispatches. The Eldar contacts on Armageddon may have very well paid off. Nicholai studied the data on their new leader with disgruntled interest, reading to himself.

"Colonel Kurtzwiel, born something or other...Several sucessive campaigns against the Hrud migrations in the Delta section..." Nicholai's eye narrowed "Contacted and trained with elements of Raven Guard as a leuitenant on a program designed to counter Eldar pirates... Distinct Xenophobia and personal sense of pride." If Nicholai weren't so tired he would have spluttered in fury at the next words "Known to remark on the...disloyalty? Disloyaty?! Vostroya. Will not. Stand for this." Nicholai threw the letter away in disgust.

Cadia would pay a terrible price for this Kurtzweil's remark...they would bleed. But first...first there were the orks.

BTW, I'm finding this World Eater Manhunt to be very interesting. Can't wait to see some finale fiction writing.

Bloodaxes attack Vostroyans for 1.

Where the feth is Nightwatch?


Oh BTW, my next go will probably be my last (for a while, at least), as I'm going to Spain on Friday for 10 days. If someone wants to take over Bloodaxes, let Manchu know and see FITTZ for general orky planz! Cheers.

If someone could copy/pasta what Orks can do I'll take over.

I'm back from my trip.
Or JohnDD could and I'd have my Tyranids back

@VS: Tell you what:

I'll give you the Nids, if I get the Cadians.

Then 1had can pick up the Freebooterz or BloodAxes to stay in league with the CSMs.

OK???

Waaaaagh!: An Ork army gathers strength with momentum, growing stronger as it charges belligerently across the stars. Ork factions may attack on the same turn as they move, but may only attack after moving. Ork factions may not reinforce on the same turn as attacking.

A) Move(1), Reinforce(2)
B) Move(1), Attack(1)
C) Attack(1)

Weird idea.

Maybe we could swap armies each 3rd day?

OTOH, could run freebooterz AND bloodaxes ......
or fitzz could run the whole waagh! Poor furry hats.

So why again do I have to be in league with chaos?

See they are so frightened of the Imperial firepower.....


Ps: how should EF keep his claims of traitor Cadians without me?

Wait for Manchu to give an official desicsion.

Oh and John you seem keen to hold onto a horde army. I also see you signed up to game 2 with 'Nids rather sharpish.

@VS: no problem. I x-posted my offer in the other thread, too.

If Eldar / CSM were "good enough", I'd have been willing to give them another go in game 2, but as Nids are better, I picked them instead.

Not going for the challenge then? (I keed, I keed)
I chose 'Nids for game 1 just because no-one else did

I went for the challenge and died almost exactly as quickly as I expected I would. Actually, I was pretty lucky to survive as long as I did.

I picked Nids for Game 2 because there would be a 2nd tendril of the Hive Mind, so it seemed more fitting.
