Not sure how you reached your conclusion, Kharne; as far as I know, you're still free to decide where you deploy (although a few locations have been claimed by others already) and your reason for being there is still very much in your hands. The 'what I can write' part I can agree with, but as said, that's a logical result of us all having one leg in the last Crusade and another in the new one (which is still very much WiP setting-wise).

Also, @Smudge, you shouldn't feel guilty about it, I think no-one here would like you to rush the ending, and you've done a great job so far

EDIT: I'm still deploying on Tarragon

Huh. Weird, I think I missed that, or was that discussed in PM's?

That's indeed a bit off-putting....


By the way, I thought we were restricted to one army this time around? Or was that just optional?

I'm not sure, for all we know we may not be able to have a faction

I mean, I have Knights and Eldar and so far there hasn't been anything mentioned about it.

We initially limited it to one faction each, but after seeing the size of the map decided that two factions could fit. Some people still have a nice section of breathing room still, such as Evergreen's tyranids. For good reason, I suppose. Who would willingly settle next to tyranids?

Your Orks? They'd love a good scrap with the Nids'.

While very true, my orks are going to be more focused on lootin' and tyranids don't really have stuff to make guns and vehicles with. For reasoning why they went onto the moon, I was going to say the ork boss on that section was one worth taking note of, so Gorgrim was going to krump him quick and move on from there.

Well, the prime targets for fighting on the moon is me, jhe, and Smudge. This moon is going to get very interesting very quickly

I made a mistake regarding the Deployment area...

I forgot that I didn't PM him that I'm deploying at Clerth...

But I'm deploying at Tarragon, I refuse to believe trees can withstand phosphex

The trees are made of ceramite?

If we're insisting on keeping said area off limits, perhaps one could argue that the place isn't really valuable in comparison to the cost of bombing it and defending it against the denizens of the area, if it is indeed warp tainted. It does have a few notable features to it though, so someone might see value to it. Kharne, perhaps you could settle next to it and fight inwards, rather than plunge into the middle of it and fight outwards from all sides? The area could cause mortal men insane or something of the sort, depending on the amount of warp influence, and while marines may not be corrupted by it, their serfs and the sort might be?

I am insisting on keeping that area off limits because I need to write the reasoning and I figured that I should state those locations are off limits first rather than later when people are all deployed and I basically oust them because of "plot reasons" rather than kepping them out to begin with because "plot reasons"

I hope Smudge is able to finish up part two of the ground battle relatively soon. I really want to know what happened to my other Eldar characters (as that'll influence what I have in my Eldar intro)

I suppose that that is an improvement. Now, is there a problem with invading it, if setting up shop there right away is out?

Setting up shop there. I have no problems with invading, but I would heavily recommend not camping out in the woods. Bad things happen in the woods, very bad things.

I'm not sure about Kharne, but I think that this is a fair compromise. I don't see why you'd want your base exposed to some chaos ents when you can park next to them and attack at your leisure.

Would bad things happen to a mini titan? I know my Eldar might be ok (we can just use webway portals and peace out for a while rather than camp in the woods), but my Knights aren't nearly so fortunate.

I'm fine with that. Actually, since no one objected perhaps we have feral orks attacking from there and the skirmish ensues and I drop down, slaughter, and set up next to the forest eager to purge.

Would that work

Unless the woods follow you.

I will have you know, Chazz let me take full reign over the wild life of Crion. Prepare yourselves.

I'm burning it all to the ground. No fern or bunny rabbit shall survive after I am done

Unless this wildlife confesses it's loyalty to the Emperor it will be purged

Unless the ferns and bunnies burn you to the ground hint hint hint hint hint hint hint hint hint hint hint hint hint hint

Feth. The bunnies have evolved pyromancy. We're doomed lads.

1) Hunt Pyro bunny
2) Consume Pyro bunny
3) Who is the dirty xenos now, gue'la? Say it again. One more time...

My ' gue'la ' would probably eat you

That's how you defeat the Kroot. You eat them before they can eat you. Them's the brakes

Like the face eater squig competition? I see how that would end well. Why don't you try this tactic on the tyranids as well? I'm sure Evergreen would be terrified to see guardsmen and marines eating all of his soldiers.

Thankfully I don't have to take part in that, I play Eldar, and that silliness is for the lesser races.

And the knight pilots? Perhaps they could fit a great maw on the front of the suits for such an occasion? Or perhaps they can get some sense and hire the Kroot to be battlefield janitors instead?
