**Ledabot**

Evaelc wrote:Bar'goth sniffs in the air, noticing the same signature smell of the one that was on the ship.
Barking orders through the hive mind he summons all the able bodied minions to tear apart the wreckage and take anything of use. Then summoning gargoyles and the harpies he procedes in the direction of the scent. Halfway there he splits his force into three groups that set off.

Well it's that time again guys. Time for serious business.
So, as you may have already read, Ledabot's out for a couple of days. Let's make it easy for him and for ourselves; It's time for a vote.
(This is,of course, for a temporary seat of GM-hood.) Any nominees?

**Evaelc**

okay well. I summon every tyranid to mass a couple of KM away from thje base in preperation for an assault. In the meantime I find the Murderfex and another group of carnifexs to help with the main assault.

**Evaelc**

I would vote for myself but tommorow i am going to rowing camp where it is lots of FUN...

**Evaelc**

so instead i will vote for Undivided.

**undivided**

Out of character wrote:
Well that's one for me
Anybody else?
The winner will need atleast three votes.

**Evaelc**

I think that'll be good. if we can get 3 people to vote.

**undivided**

Well, we'll just have to wait 'till everybody's back.

**Mukkin'About**

(word undivided can go for it, i don't care as long you keep it balanced and keep it moving. I'm not particularly attached, and i didn't try to play some sort of named special character so i could be killed at some point in an epic fashion!)

The murderfex doesn't wait long. 'Fex sends his gaunts and genestealers around the sides while he is met with some resistance outside. What scant survivors remain are wounded and make easy prey. Though they fight fiercely there is little that can be done to stop it's rampage. Charging in close, he fires thick barbed strands that latch onto the armour of it's foes and bind them to the beast. It then halts and twists it's frame, using the flesh hooks tether to fling the assailants off their feet where it pins them to the ground with it's talons. One of the dying men scrambles to prime an explosive, but his strength falters as his frame is crushed underfoot. Sensing the approach of the tyrants forces, it slowly withdraws towards them leaving some gaunts to search the wreckage.

**Evaelc**

Bar'goth approaches the murderfex ranked by 6 hulking carnifexes. when he is next to the murderfex the carnifexs go over to him. Bar'goth nods towords him and through the hive mind says "A gift for our assault on the spiky humans. we have located their base. Our forces stand ready to assault. The gathering has already started."

reaching down to Bloodmaws ear Romulus whispers some small words and dismoutnts, once more the crackling of his sheild and the roar of his blade ripple across the ground, in challenge of the mighty foes

Ledabot you srsly missed this

**Tyranic Marta**

**Tyranic Marta**

(its an arrow that failed

**Tyranic Marta**

ok dw guys ill just assume im still at base cause uve gone ages ahead

**Tyranic Marta**

any hoo

(ic) Romulus begins to hear hurried reports of scouts being annihilated by the tyranids, he quickly uses his teleporter to follow the muderfex's trail, quickly finding the battle between the Tyranids and the chaos, sitting back to wait he realises that whoever comes out of the fight victorious will be severely weakened

**Ledabot**

Marta: very sorry...
Nids: your forces are gathering to assault the chaos base. This seems slightly similar to something that happened before
Undivided: You are sitting in your fort, laughing yourself silly. You may want to do something about your noisy nabours.

Raven's fortress:

"Ooh, looky looky, some insects at my door! Thank the Gods for all the bug sp.. erm, weapons Arkois left me! Gaddon! Come here!"
"Yes Lord"
"Activate the defense guns"

Idiot Wars time yet, Ledabot?

**Evaelc**

Bar'goth smirks as he sees the Chaos guns readying. They thought it would be easy. At that moment several mawlocs burst out htrough the gound into the base spewing fortha multitude of tyranid genestealers and warriors. ripper swrms in their masses charge towords the base while gargoyles and harpies take to the skies to disable the guns. In the ensuing confusion several teams of carnifexs charge into the base walls.

**Evaelc**

(sadly not undivided. a frontal assault would be stupid to say the least. worthy of idiot wars. but his is better.)

I'm quite sorry for doing this, I did warn you and unfortunately, Ledabot was already leaning towards this to happen, but it's that time again.

Idiot Wars part: Too many to count, Revenge of the 'Nid.
The Mawlocs entered into the courtyard of the Raven's fortress to find absolutely nothing but the large caliber guns staring them in the face.
Meanwhile, hearing the sounds of death and explosions inside, as the Carnifexes near the walls the void shield activated earlier slam them in the face, leaving them confused. As the gargoyles and harpies attempt to rip the empty decoy guns, they are gunned down by Chaos marines awaiting them. Several genestealers and warriors manage to slip past the void shield after it's reactivation. They are flamed and butchered by the Heavy weapon turrets' killzone. Only a small force of the Great Devourer were lost. The rest of the xenos watch through the Invisible field as their brethren are ripped to shreds by the forces of Chaos.

**Evaelc**

damn i love a good idiot wars. however not so much when its happning to me. oh well retreat to base gather biomass and start again. :( *sigh*.

**Evaelc**

I don't quite get that last part though.

**undivided**

Tyranids: A full frontal assault is not a wise choice against a Chaos Planetary fortress.
Options:
A:Use the knowledge gifted by the Hivemind to find a way in. (Think of a creative way to get in)
B: Leave and regroup to attack the fortress again.
C:Leave to pursue another target.

Selected choice in blue.

Now before you flame me, as 'Nids you don't have a formal "base", however you have the most troops available with an entire Hive fleet at your beck and call. I can't have you ending a race as early as now, Ledabot and Catos would agree. Mcsessions probably would too.

SW you watch the failed assault of the Tyranids and they are starting to retreat.
Options:
A:Attack them now while they least expect it.
B:Standby and observe what they will do.
C: A strange idea enters your head. The sorcerer was able to contact me with his mind, why not I do the same?

SM, IG and Tau, you get a free defensive option against the oncoming Tyranids.

Stop time. Evaelc, we're gonna have to wait for Marta's decision before continuing with our part. SW, TYR and CSM cannot continue with their part of the story without each other.

READ FIRST BEFORE PROCEEDING

**Evaelc**

I wouldn't flame you. but yeah i must admit it was a rash move but worth a try. thanking you.

Ever get the chance to read my Idiot War back in the old one?

**Mukkin'About**

(Walk in. See this. What do?)

**Evaelc**

can't say that i did. I'm just glad that we do have like a Gm because a lot of other RP's i've done it is like an unstopable force hits an immovable object. it just gets tiring and boring. however you are right. i tend to take things head on. I play a tau army (just got my first tank

so happy) and from what i've seen and heard and read it is very strategical but as i said i take things head on rather than thinking them out. fall down 6 times get up 7.

Thread winner right there.

See the Tyranid options above. Feel free to coordinate with Evaelc if you wish.As of now, though, time has stopped for 'Nids,SpaceWolves and Chaos, as Marta has yet to come up with a decision.
