Just because English is not my mother tongue, it' rather uncomfortable for me to read Engliish text in a single wide column.
You'd be surprised how many people with rather bad English read English sourcebooks of the settings they fond of.

Something I never really appreciated; thanks for bringing it to my attention. Currently hunting down pics to fill the gaping holes, hopefully I can get a formatted version out by the end of the week. I can't guarantee it'll be easier to read though; I'm pretty poor at formatting.

This is also under the premise that the text is worth reading, after scouring a couple of entries I'm not so certain! Some of those sentences were typed rather late at night....

Man I feel like that one guy in high school that promises to call but never does

Disty, I haven't forgotten about this thread. I have just been super busy and will hopefully be able to give it a really good scouring soon

Dosty pls

Can someone summarise the Hrrrrrrrrrud plot for me?

6.1 is out, available in the first post. Let me know if it reads/looks any better!

Your continued interest is more than enough! I've been meaning to reciprocate the favour but I've also been struggling for time. Got an ACL rebuild in September which will probably result in a few weeks off work; plenty of time to get caught up on painting and writing!

Do you mean official canon or mine?

If you want a synopsis of mine...

War in heaven (Oldcrons v Old Ones).
Old ones design and breed a race of exceptional guerilla fighters.
Not as exceptional as expected.
Try to exterminate their "mistake".
Xluu (Hrud leader) leads a rebellion.
All killed except Xluu.
Hides on (and in) a rock for a long long time.
Eldar land on said rock.
TWOCs (takes) their ship.
Lands on planet. The locals aren't friendly.
Enslaves one (Snarlpit), before nearly being eaten by another (Anatra), then teaming with a third (Herasir), and finally beating the second (Anatra).
Creates lots of tribes and then try to forge an empire.
Wake up Necrons. Necrons be angry.
Chase Xluu and his people across the galaxy.
Destroy all of them except a few that land on a planet and Xluu.
Xluu suicides into command ship, although it's clear he's not going to make it.
Sends out a psychic scream into the warp.
Malal, who previously had his "twin brother" Qah chopped up by the four main chaos gods united, hears this.
Offers his power in exchange for servitude, Xluu, without option, agrees.
Malal extends his reach into the materium, destroys the Necron fleet, forces Xluu to battle a C'tan.
Malal munches upon said C'tan.
Xluu dies on the command ship as it drifts into a sun.
On the planet the remaining of the species, including the four best "generals", dominate the remaining Necrons, mostly due to an extremely favourable environment.
Planet is named Hrud and the species adopts this name.
They continue to migrate and raid, although they lost the use of the webway (mostly) as their psychically attuned navigators are now controlled by Malal.
The pieces of Qah are currently collating around planet Hrud; this will eventually cause the god to be reborn.

... I think that's everything....

Poifect k thanks
