Chaplain Shrike78, blessed of Turtle Pie, I require the knowledge of my position in the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie.

even though this thread isnt about real wargaming has anyone ever made a turtle space marine before cause i did i made the teenage mutant ninja turtles as a comand squad but then sold them on ebay.

but with all these turtle post i think ill have to make them again should i? ill post pics when i can.

Always proud to be of service to the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie, Brother Chaplain Shrike. It is an honour to bring forth such members to service in the Sancitified Chapters of our Most Holy Order.

May I also add, Brother, that I truly believe that Shadow Nugz should be elevated from Initiate to Acolyte in the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie. Though his contributions may seem small for now, he HAS shown devotion to the cause and willingness to improve himself. Such discoveries as those I have made recently only come with experience at recognising the skills of those I have put forward for positions in the Sanctified Chapters, and I believe Shadow Nugz shows the potential to contribute much more as his experience grows.

Considering those facts, I humbly sponsor Shadow Nugz for elevation to the rank of Acolyte in the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie.

Blessed be the Holy Pie most truly of Turtle.

The road from initiate to acolyte is indeed a large one. One must carefully judge his footing before putting one flipper before the other, before they can hpe to obtain a larger slice of the pie. Shadow Nugz, I believe, has taken these steps and deserves to be elevated to the ranks of acolyte.

Chaplain Shrike78, blessed of Turtle Pie, I also require the knowledge of my position in the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie(blessed be its baked flippers) , and whether Captain Falcon shall be realised to be a Protector of the Turtle Pie (hail its oven-fresh shell).

As Chaplain of the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie, I move to make you a neophyte of the most holy church of the children of Turtle pie (blessed be it's deliciousness).

may your path be paved with the deliciousness of turtle pie, but beware, a road paved in sugary goodness is a slippery one.

Brothers, Further study has brought forth an area of which our Church is lacking but easily corrected.

Where, Eternal Turtle Pie(Praise be thy sweetness) is vast and all encompassing. Even, including the prodigious powers granted to the faithful by the Omni-dessert. The two chapters will be quickly bogged down by commonplace garrisoning and logistical needs. Thus not allowing the Preatorian Pie and Templar Testudines the full freedom to fulfill their appointed missions.

In regards to this, it has come to my attention that many of the common citizenery would also crave a slice of the greater Whole that is Eternal Turtle Pie.

But such reward is not given, it is earned.

I propose the creation of citizen manned Guard units starting with the Tortugan 3&14th regiments which will always deploy together. These units will take on the more mundane chores of garrisoning and logistical support.

I, further propose one of whom we all know as tough, successful, and of having Mastered the precepts of Pie to lead the citizen guard. I propose, the both respected & feared, Major General Martha Stewart to command these these regiments.

Major General Stewart also brings with her a vetran staff including the vetran Tank commader lovingly known only as "Grandma". No one in the galaxy can match Grandma's ability to serve massive Pie Plates of Righteousness(Nickname for Ordinance Blasts) to those in need of redemption.

I leave these proposals before you my Brothers. May the Eternal Oneness, that is Turtle Pie, guide you to take what ingredients the Church requires.


Edited for spelling and punctuation

Brothers, focusedfire does indeed raise a vital point. The Marines of the Legions Astartes are too few to be bound by duties such as holding planets and protecting lines of supply. Given the additional duties of the Templars Testudine and Praetors of Pie such inhibitions are even more important to address.

I believe focusedfire has provided us with a suitable answer to that problem and his command choice certainly has merit.

As a Scholar in the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie, I support, and duly second, focusedfire's motion to raise these regiments in support of our Sanctified Chapters.
As reward for his efforts, I would also like to propose a position within our order be offered unto focusedfire.

My own continuing efforts to expand the TO&E of our Sanctified Chapters has borne more fruit. Research has drawn forth another potential member of our Military Arm.

A fellow alumni of the Starfleet Academy that gave us James Kirk has come to mind. Examining his career has shown him to be of equal calibre to Kirk in most respects, though his flair with the ladies is not quite as spectacular. His bravery in combat, despite his reserved and understated general presentation, is a matter of record many times over. Indeed, whilst still a lowly Cadet he entered into combat with a Xenos in, of all places, a restaurant ( It is not known if an example of The Holy Omnidessert was present, but plateishness was surely in abundance). During this combat, the candidate was sorely wounded, and only a heart replacement allowed him to continue his service


His valour duly reconised, this young officer was fast-tracked through promotions and was soon commanding his own starship which, whilst of different configuration to Kirk's, still retained the iconic Plate Profile Primary Hull. During his command of this vessel, which was sadly lost in combat at a later date, he devised a strategy known aboard ship as the Crouching Plate, Leaping Turtle though Starfleet Command later renamed the Maneuver in his honour.

His continued service lead to his commanding the Flagship of the Fleet, with an even larger Plate Profile Primary Hull ( truly recognised as earning a larger portion of The Pie ) which, though again lost on duty ( women drivers, huh !), served admirably under his command.


His most recent posting was to this ship's replacement, it's profile and configuration a sleeker and more deadly Plate indeed. His loyalty to the Santcified Plate remained true throughout attempted theft by cybernetic Xenos, and even prevailed when his Xenos made clone attempted the destruction of his Plate fronted vessel.


Finally, it must be said that his very features resemble our Most Holy Turtle, right down to the general Shiny Shelled appearance of his head.

Brothers, to compliment the placement of Kirk as Master of the Fleet of the Templars Testudine, I offer, for your consideration in the post of Captain of the Fourth Company,Master of the Fleet of the Praetors of Pie...

...Captain Jean Luc Picard.


In closing, I have a request for Our Holy Saints.

Most Wise And Holy Saints of the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie, we mere mortals in the service of The Holy Turtle and Blessed Pie are making steady progress in our cause and have been rewarded most bountifully for our works, yet there is one among us who, I feel, has been overlooked. The very leader of our cause, the one responsible for the induction of many of us, has toiled away diligently without due recongnition.

Most Holy and Venerable Saints, is it not time that Brother Chaplain Shrike78 was duly recognised as Master of Sanctity of the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie. I am sure I speak for all when I say that without his leadership, many of us would not enjoy the warm, baked, flipper propelled light of the Holy Pie. Saints of our Order, I beseech you, promote our noble Chaplain that he may receive those rewards he has duly earned.

Blessed be the Pie of Holy Turtle and all who sample it's Baked Flipper Sweetness.

mmmmmh...pie!Oh and praise the pie and all that other stuff to,may Turtle pie bless you dudes.

I prepose we let there be a fourth protector and his is:








YODA!

May I join,and dance in the light of turtle pie?

After seeing all of these threads it seems as though Shrike78 has always had the position of leader of the High Chaplains. I think this is as good a time as any to make it official.

Do any of the other saints still post here? If so, cast your votes. If not, I guess there's no opposition.

Lest any of the saints disagree with your pronouncement, oh St. Yams, I will serve as a High Chaplain of the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie, blessed be its name.

And also, brothers, I am working on Codex: Templars Testudine, as we type, and will, pie willing, be ready to deliver its beaky goodness soon.

As a sample, here is the profile for the renowned Hardshell terminators that are employed by the Templars Testudine.

50 points

WS BS S T I A LD SV
5 4 4 4(5) 4 2 10 1+/3++

Armament: Hardshell Terminator armor, Turtle's Beak, Shell Shield.

Hardshell Terminator Armor:
Originally suits of terminator armor, these archaic suits were further reinforced by the holy rights of the Templar's techmarines, who, with dignity and grace, Duck taped turtle scales onto the tactical dreanought armor. This gives terminators a 1+ save. This does NOT mean that they automatically pass armor saves, however, should they roll a 1, they may re-roll. This re-roll is only passed on a roll of a 6.
These suits of armor increase the units toughness by 1. Note: this does not mean that they ignore instant death from str 8, or 9 weapons, unless they were already.

Turtle's beak:
These icons of a turtle's beak clearly show the esteem of the warriors who weild them, and double the user's strength, the shear power of these weapons tears through armor with ease, and no armor saves may be taken against it.

Shell shield:
This gives the user a 3+ invern save.


Special abilities.
"Turtle Mode":
The Hardshell terminator suits have been modified to allow the wearer to fully immerse himself inside the reinforced shell. At the start of any turn, before any actions are taken, the controlling player may elect to have his terminators go into turtle mode. Models in turtle mode may not move, shoot, assault, or make any attacks, but their armor save becomes invulnerable.

Brothers! I have returned from my absence to bring you dire news! A new villain has sided with Robotnik, and he threatens to touch Turtle Pie's ta-la-la with his ding-ding-dong!

The all-powerful Gunther!


We cannot abide to this threat! The four great Guardians will have their hands full when dealing with Gunther, all the while giving Robotnik the chance to steal the Turtle Pie!


I hereby issue a Call for Heroes. Those powerful enough, those willing enough, those powerful enough, and did I mention powerful enough will have the chance to prove themselves as true champions of Turtle Pie. Registration forms are to your right

I keep saying that Captain Falcon is one of the until-now forgotten champions, and now he is needed most!

Captain Falcon, protect the Turtle Pie with all your might!

I suggest my brethren that we use banana slugs to combat this threat:

Where do I sign up my.

I got into the turtle pie late but i will join in the protecting of the pie. All praise turtle pie. What will be the colors of the pie warriors of turtle and pie?

I would suggest the same as it's holy crust.

Umm... I may be a little late, but I agreee. Shrike shall be High Chaplain! All praise the heated shell of Turtle Pie!

Mekboy wrote:Umm... I may be a little late, but I agreee. Shrike shall be High Chaplain! All praise the heated shell of Turtle Pie!

It would be unethical for Chaplain Shrike to declare the result on his own behalf, so if it please our Most Holy Saints I shall perform this righteous duty in his stead.

Two of our Most Venerated and Holy Ones have spoken in favour of my motion, the third I assume to be bringing the Lesson of Pain and Denial to unbelievers and so unable to respond though I believe he too would agree with his fellow Saints.

By the agreement of the Saints of the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie ( Blessed be it's baked, meaty sweetness), and the accolades of our growing brotherhood, I, Reaper6, Scholar of the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie do pronounce Shrike78 to be duly recognised and annointed Master of Sanctity, Most Senior Chaplain of the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie.

Ammend thy sig, Brother, that all may know of your status as Master of Sanctity as pronounced by our Most Holy Saints.

Blessed be the Pie, may we evermore bask in it's Holy Nutrition of Body and Soul.

As you have just joined, you will recieve the rank of initiate, now go out and spread the power of the turtle pie like jam upon bread.

Brothers! As I type I am battling the forces of another, previously unknown enemy of turtle Pie.

His heathen beak is even longer than that of the great Turtle, and his plumage is yellow.

And by the Pie is he Big!

In light of your new evidence, Master Chaplain Shrike78, I think it's time for a change of approach. Let us give this sorcerous parrot a righteous kicking that he may learn from his error and cease tempting the innocent from the sacred light and wholesome goodness of our Dessert of Crunchy Shelled Delight.

Great Pie...He makes even Robotnik pee himself!


Gary Coleman has joined us in the protection of the Turtle Pie! May the Pie give him strength in our struggle for avoiding the evil powers of PENGISH and ding-ding-dong.




Also, Cranky Kong has agreed to lend us his intellect in our struggle. May his ancient wisdom guide us to forever banishing the menace who seeks to take the Turtle Pie!

Ah, I suppose this means we must begin a quest for Pie like artefacts in the Phillipines.
