Pink tank you say....? GIMME GIMME GIMME! What happened to the last guy?

By the way I will take requests for pictures of your characters, all I need is any details you want put on them. I promise I will do them proffessionally not like the stuff I have been doing so far

Looks very good!
Perhaps make some of various members together?
(Think of a group photo of a football team or something similar.)

Sounds like a plan...

New part of the story:


For a moment Russki thought that the other man was joking, but it wasn’t. The recruit wore the insignia of a tank commander. He had a strange hat that the would-be colonel didn’t immediately recognize.
“Sir, the name is sergeant Jokerva!” Behind the man stood a Leman Russ Executioner tank, dedicated to the 222nd Catachan.
“Sir,” the recruit said, “what are your orders?” Russki, still thinking it was a joke, rubbed his hands together and thought of as proper way to abuse his power. “See this tent,” he asked, pointing at the place where the commissar used to sleep, “get in your tank and drive over it.”
The sergeant shrugged his shoulders and climbed into the tank. A second later it promptly drove over the tent. Russki, still not believing the sergeant, ordered the man to do it again. The Leman Russ went in reverse and did what it was ordered.

Two thoughts rushed through Russki’s head, one was: “What idiot made me a fething colonel?” The other one was: “How am I going to explain this to the inquisition?” As he turned around, he saw that more survivors were emerging out of the jungle.

The Sarge grinned with satisfaction that all resistence from the tenacious tent had been thoroughly crushed in the Emperor's name. Joker ordered the tank forward, "To the mess hall, this victory has given me an appetite!"
"But sarge, we already ran over the mess hall" stated Rissman, driver of the formidable Executioner.
"Errr... To the officer's mess hall!" Jokorva eclaimed.
"You mean the latreen?"
"Yeah that"

If anyone else wishes to be added, just let me know and I'll add you.

What do you mean by added?

My poor poor tent. I think I'll start sleeping in a tree....... Wait trees are still flammable aren't they? Feth I need something that won't catch on fire to sleep in. I need someone with some good scouting skills to go out and find me something fireproof to sleep in. And where is that crate of apples I'm feeling a little hungry.

I think he means enlisting some fresh meat for the grinder. I do need to tie some penal legionaires to my armour plating, don't wanna risk a scratch on the ol' girl.

And I'm always happy to practice my aim.

Should use dead bodies, about as effective.

Yes but the living can fire back even if they're tied up

Our residential female sniper JKB... Correct me if its wrong



More characters to follow. Wait out.

Tech Magos Geerian

You forgot JKB's moustache

Just for those who weren't around the first time, the 222nd is an all male regiment JKB stands for Jayne Kate Bob, as in Kate, it's short for Bob.

That is a pretty sweet pic though.

"CadianCommander:You forgot JKB's moustache "


Oh... haha that is a little glitch.


But why does your signature say "Loving HER longlas like no other man...."?

You can see where my misconception came from lol.

Cos the signature is OOC

Haha oh well, I can always make another one.

P.S. Why do we have no females in the regiment?

Because they're a distraction on the battlefield.

P.S. Think you could do one of my characters?

Yeah maybe tommorow mate, its getting a bit late in the night. Also which one and what do you want him to look like?

You can try doing both in the same picture. Stumbo is about 6'3", well tanned, brown hair (combed often), very muscular (imagine a UFC heavyweight), has a well groomed beard, is usually smiling or laughing, uses a lasgun,and is quite attractive. Steele is 5'8", pale, about average build, clean shaven, has plenty of scars, black hair (very short), never smiles, never laughs, often has a knife out.

I more ment added into the story...

As they now come all out of the jungle again, I can introduce them in a proper way, so is easier to use them later on.

Alright feel free to add both of my characters, introduce them in a way that was similar to the way I did.

No problemo.

Feel free to add me as well.

I think I may have already made my treadmarks in your story...

Challenge Accepted

Steele.



By the way guys thanks for the comments so far, really appreciated.

Stumbo is not so far behind.

As Russki saw the survivors gather around him, he decided to do what he thought would be the most logical solution: Sit behind a desk and pretend as if nothing was wrong.
He looked for one and found it in a crater. That it was broken in half and that there was no chair didn't bother Russki.

Just when he sat on the ground, pretending to be very busy, a large commissar came over and clicked his heels together. "Commissar Kracken is reporting for duty, sir!"
Russki laughed loudly before he gave a serious reply: "Welcome back, my dear commissar, I assume you have heard the news so far?"
-"Yes I have! Congratulations on your promotion! I'll ask the Commissariat to look into your files once more. There probably would be an interesting thing or two in there, no?"
Russki became very pale and hoped that the other hadn't noticed it.

Dammit, had written a lot more in a different tab and then closed it... >.> I'll try to add more tomorrow.

Nice job Joker. Although his neck seems extremly long, I believe that to be a very nice representation of Steele. No rush for Stumbo, I'm sure you'll do just fine. And Loner, don't worry about the tab thing, its happened to me too. Thankfully if you spend a lot of time writing something then you tend to remember it well, so re-writing shouldn't be too hard. Also I noticed that my characters don't actually have any positions yet, should proabably work that out sometime.
