I have written another piece but i will wait and post it tomorrow as i just posted yesterday and the fact that i think i can improve it if i read it over.

I feel you. Trying to balance the excitement of writing a new story with the need to not spam posts

No matter how much i try i cannot stop laughing at your profile picture. But ya i know, i got two weeks free time now so im writing when i can but I understand other people are not so lucky so i will just wait for them.

I don't even know what I want my Eldar to do.

Should they go after the Space Sharks?

Should they troll the Imperials?

Should they crash this banquet that's coming up?

Should they be trolled by the Arbiters of Truth?

Splendid, that's part of Death Budgie's job. What I can recommend, during the pauses where I actually have writing time, is to go ahead and write passages that I'm either anticipating happening, or am going to try to make happen, that way when the events roll around, I've got a draft ready to go.

Today in CoF: Literal tea party and nothing else.

I'll have to do the crunch and Kroot later, but I wrote this on my phone so I wanted to get it up and saved.

Good idea EoN, I do have certain things that i want to happen so i suppose i could write about that. BC i find that i prefer the tea parties and the meetings of the imperial leaders, it allows you to visualise the characters and besides it cant always be big battles.

My chunk is low combat, but I'm still trying to set ny scene. Nail down character and get a solid portrayal of them so people know them before I start teaming them up etc.

I have a tendency to throw some bolter porn into my writing at times, but I'd like to think the bits of dialogue help balance it out.

I was just holding off that for a bit. Get my people solid etc first. I'm methodical lol

Well chunk I'm aiming up for this weekend. Meeting wotan. Hop to hive grim joy, agmar chunk. Couples crusade.

Couple's Crusade has been on the downlow so far in the Crusade.

I'm opening it.

Hey, we had grumpyssar and his captain already.

I'm tempted to inflict Liza on someone. Be warned, fellas.

Yarl Agmar is planned for. Please leave him alone

I may have an idea for a one sided love triangle.
???? > Liza > One of WK's Knight's machine spirits.

That reminds me, I still need to find a way to get Liza and Circe to meet one another...

...maybe Lord Breacher will let her tag along when he comes to trade tech with the Admech base

That would be very cool. I think the techpriests would end up being told off by Liza for just standing around silently talking in binary.

As a newcomer to this writing thing I sometimes find it hard to give my characters a personality, but it is something I am trying to improve upon.

You could write characters with zero personality... like Sylus...

I think the tech-priests will probably be more busy pissing themselves at the sight of the ancient, Terminator armour- and foul mood-equipped Iron Warrior that is Lord Breacher, who will be glaring at them dismissively

Also, I've been thinking, one of the other Lords of the Remnants (the Lord Executioner) used to be part of the Emperor's Children as well, maybe he could have a chat with his former brethren during the course of the campaign?

I thought his personality was; "I follow the orders of my madman of a Chapter Master and have conflicting emotions about women?"

Although the first part *has* slightly changed over the course of the last Crusade

That's some good humour, Ezra

They are at least Explorator Admech, which means they are to techpriests what Indiana Jones is to archeology. They see a lot more weird and interesting people and things than sheltered techpriests.

My charecters are new, and have some character. Not everyone has crusade of fury one veterans.

I think it'd be funny if my Kroot run into your Tau, Smudge, and both sides assume the other one is a part of the Tau Empire, and immediately both go "Oh feth."

I never thought of it that way actually! I never realised that I'd see you as part of the Empire

I might see about taking your Tau on as allies for my Eldar Smudge. Us xenos need to stick together.

And leave my Kroot out of it? After a few awkward minutes of misunderstanding, the Tau and Kroot should get along, and the Eldar have nothing against Kroot, I'd imagine.

I should probably make it clear, blackjack, that you're not gonna be guarding the snow fort. While they report back to HQ, most of the Explorators will set out to the mainland to search.

So much for my idea of Kroot wearing parkas.

I'm curious how my defending will work. Will I have to roll for the defenses as well? I don't want to feth someone else up by not protecting them because my poor luck, but then again, it seems unfair if by hiring me that employer cannot lose his assault. Are the Kroot serving as an NPC for that duration, because then people don't have much of an incentive to hire them aside from having variety in the army.

Sorry for the sudden predicament, but now that I thought about it, I can't really come up with a simple answer.

New piece is up, now im just waiting on the banquet, dont feel pressured from this post Chazz.

Nice to see your leader appreciates a good Necron punting Irish
