Hives are big. He couldn't possibly destroy each one or even dare to do it. He kind of needs some of them.

He's not lazy, he can take the stairs.

For the record, though, if you can't conquer this loser once I'm done chewing up his Waaagh for the second time in a row, you're officially the Wimpiest Snotling in Wimpville™. For reals.

I appreciate the help in taking care of some of his forces

He's actually attacked me, so I've got a siege post to write up after Smudge and I have our joint post done. But rest assured, he's my next target.

And TS, yeah, you have a point.

Hey, I just met you and this is crazy, but here's a Gargant, so rage out maybe...

You know I have a space ship.... And a chapter that likes close combat

There are reasons I said ships are NPC. I want you to figure out collabratively how to kill it.

Update in the battle of Cogger Hive.

Okay, so serious question: By my count, Chazz's Inquisition is fighting on three fronts in this last round of posts: Executing heretics at Drake's Point, interrogating Scions in a warehouse somewhere, and also taking on an entire Hive at Cogger. And doing them all apparently without trouble.

Is this something we can do, or is this GM-specific powers?

So that's where he is, then? I was kind of curious as to why he didn't show up for his scheduled whoopin' with the rest of his attack force.

This latest attack is a bit irritating, really. He's gone and knackered my main, and only, allies in the system.

I've been splitting my force and rolling 2 or 3 actions at a time since the start, for what it's worth.

Well, my Tau are on three fronts, but only based around a small area. I'm not sure on the specifics.

Joke joke

Gargant... Hmm, has to have a weakness, melta/power fist a ankle joint to cease it up to buy time?

Secondary deployments now at site henry to carry and finish off

No, you can do it too, however I'm giving you modifiers for having all your dudes in the same spot, doing the same thing.

Well, if I join in, I can unload a fair bit of airborne haywire on it to soften it up and damage it's systems, or at least, whatever it has that counts for 'systems'. That should buy someone some vital time to make an attack run.

What? Who told you there's a Gargant stomping around?

Yeah, nobody unless the news gets as far as Ros Hannoi. I was just brainstorming.

Ok. Well one front. I'm not fighting st grimjoy...


Gotta finish my exploration once I get honours earned part two done. There's something blood dragon in that place, though I may need more men... And bigger guns....

Hell frost Hurt a gargant?

The Scion thing is a Tiller doing the interrogation.

I can't see why ramming a thunderhawk into it won't work. Or dropping a specialist group onto it via Thunderhawk+jump pack combo wouldn't be bad either...But I'm just brainstorming.

"I can't see why ramming one of my irreplaceable troop transports into an Ork Titan won't work."

Let's remember you are on the bad side of the Inquisition for having most of your chapter go heretical.

To be honest, it seems worth it. A gargant can turn the tide of a war. A Thunderhawk is a small sacrifice for a tide-turner.

Plus look at my other suggestion, that would be quite cool to read/write about wouldn't it? A small strike force, consisting of nearly Imperial representee jumping onto a gargant, each one having a different mission, ie. Weapon, reactor, distraction, tracks etc. What about that?

Drop Stormtroopers with meltaguns and gravchutes, obtain results. Remember how well that went when it came to sneak inside a Tau Manta?

I think a Gargant is a lot bigger than a Manta. But feel free to drop off some Scions to help. I can arrange a strike group if you guys want?

Bigger just means its easier to land on.

Does that mean you'll help?

Bear in mind this isn't a lone Gargant, there are other Stompas about and probably Gorkamorka-naughts and Dreadmobs. This is a team effort. I do not expect any single army to deal with it alone.

I didn't expect it to be. If we drop in a small strike group, probably only 10-20 people big, on the Gargant, whilst the rest of the Imperial side holing off the plethora of orks, would that not work? I mean, it's a suggestion, but a fun one.
