He said tankers, referring to tankers as a whole. I think.

I agree, the crew of the Honour are completely devoid of wit altogether. Don't worry guys, you'll get a chance to make good servitors soon with the rate that the current ones seem to malfunction.

I was talking about the wrath

and it wasn't an insult it was a humorous remark

but we should listen to the marshall and keep this off of exploits

Very nice writing. I like the part when the Guardsman says,

"Sir, we are getting reports of fierce fighting throughout the ship."

"Emperor save us."

Keep up the good work.

The first part was relatively good. The inquisitor was well characterised.

It was however a bit too derivative for my tastes.

Inquisitor gets in cerebro and talks of avatars you even use the term 'small moon'! If it was meant to be funny...... It wasn't.

The humungous dialogue that constituted the second half was also not to my tastes infact i would say dialogue to be the biggest weakness of your writing. You dont even conceal huge swathes of exposition, i am sorry it doesnt cut it for me. Must try harder.

The second part was weak i am afraid i didn't 'latch on' to any of the introduced characters.

Also for someone that is always pouncing on fluff inconsistancies why the heck are imperial guardsmen looking directly into the warp?! Something that 'to look upon is to go mad'

The tiny amount that WASN'T turgid dialogue was good, i dig it. However you need to work on more elegant solutions for exposition than clumsy two way dialogue.

BTW: I know it is part of the fun and out of your control but the more hilariously named guardsmen really blew my suspension of disbelief out the airlock.

You probably wouldn't have latched onto any of the introduced characters as the thread is mainly aimed at those who have trawled and taken part in the 70-odd pages of fluff that these stories relate to.

It's harder, much harder to write down events prescribed by 100-odd guys talking feth and battles fielded you didn't play.

Oh! Well isn't this an interesting post that I just found on another thread!

Perkustin said: I don't think alot of what purplefood has said has been fair tbh.

I was particularly taken aback by the supreme arrogance of the 'no challenges' statement. I think it is time i payed one of his fiction threads a visit.....


I looked through what Purple said. He was giving constructive feedback to a budding young writer who asked for feedback. "ooh! that's awesome!" doesn't cut it if someone's serious about their work.

If you wanna review Purple's stuff, instead of going to a light hearted fluff piece for a regiment, why not review something serious he's written?

Go troll somewhere else, Perkustin and leave the 222nd alone.

By the way, it's "paid" not "payed".

Everything he did was inline with what i asked him to do. it also based off of 2 actual tabletop games and it is based off of 70 pages of fluff, with people who PICKED those names. it is also meant to be tongue in cheek.


Next time you want to go demolish someones work unceremoniously
1/ check out where he got his ideas etc from
2/ don't do it to one of my friends.
