In the Warp, getting trolled by Tactical_Spam, AKA TZEENTCH INCARNATE
As Khair, or the one posing as him, makes his escape from the Wrath of Pollo, another figure steps into Ajuran's office.
Clad in standard-issue Corvus pattern power armour, painted in the livery of the Death Ravens, the Marine carefully analyses the scene in front of him.
The dataslate on the desk. Papers littering the ground around it, a dent in the table where a hand had supported a body leaping over it. Strike Commander Ajuran, his face bloodied and buried in paperwork.
No alarm had been raised yet. The Commander was usually left alone when he retreated back into his personal quarters, which had made him easy prey for the intruder. However, the intruder had not been the only one keeping an eye on the Death Ravens' commander.
The Marine strides over to Ajuran, placing two fingers on the unconscious Commander's neck. He pushes softly, looking for a pulse.
A soft booming meets his fingertips.
Alive. Good.
He then turns to the dataslate, reading through its contents rapidly. He unhooks an odd-looking device from his belt and plugs it into the dataslate, the machine hungrily copying the information to its own memory. As his device consumes whatever data it can reach, the Marine ponders the knowledge he has gained from the dataslate.
The information described a rendez-vous point, omitting any details of who had arranged the meeting and more importantly, why. A set of coordinates and a handful of communication codes were all the dataslate had revealed to him.
But his little device would grant him more information than the message written on the dataslate. Soon enough, he and his masters would know who was steering the Death Ravens, and what they were planning.
With the data transferred, the Marine calmly leaves the commander's office, and makes his way back to his post.

Mystery, mystery aplenty!

Yep, they probably could. I just don't have the patience to do so. After I get a response from Smudge I write up what happened, after Kagrenz is over and done with I'm going to try to make sure my blurbs are synced up with what happens during the Crusade (or at least I'll try).

I believe I'm supposed to do this Intro in the POV of my Phaeron, so here it goes.
Spoiler:
Kageros was alerted my Rak'than, his Nemesor and Master Tactician, that they had recieved massive
reports of action in the area.
"My Lord, this is warfare on a scale we haven't seen in years, what shall we do?"-R
"What would you have me do O master tactician?"-K
"It could easily spill over into our system, and I doubt that Voor'Han can sustain another war on the surface. So we must do what we have to."-R
"Understood, inform the Greater Court that we must take the fight to them, have your Lesser Court ready the Legions, alert the Crypteks to ready the Swarms and Engines."-K
"So it is time then?"-R
"Yes, old friend, it is time."-K
And with that, the forces of the Kageros Dynasty prepared for war.
The Legions were assembled...
The Swarms were roused...
The War Engines powered to life...
Kageros, Phaeron of the Kageros Dynasty, Master Cryptek of Rak'Than, Harbinger of the Shattered Legions...
Marched to war...
Hope I did alright, PM if I left anything out or if it needs to be changed.
And with that my Legions rise
Thanks,
Kharne

There used to be some Necrons back on Grimdi, but I think Ezra Tyrius' Death Ravens wiped them out. So yes, you are the only Necron player right now!
This might help.
A summary of people, their faction, and their allegiances:
Blue = Imperial Aligned
Red = Chaos
Yellow = Other (Self-interested, plain random, or in an alliance with another faction)
Orange = Chaos/Neutral
Green = Imperial/Neutral
Sgt_Smudge: Ultramarines 2nd Company, Deathwatch (gone to support other battles), Cadian 13th Remnants,GM jhe90: Black Templars, Imperial Fists 3rd Company, Death Korps of Kreig, elements of the Faustian Regiments, Catachans, Adeptus Mechanicus
War Kitten: Eldar of Iybraesil Craftworld, Ultramarines 3rd Company
Tactical_Spam: New Order Chapter(Coloured because they've done some... questionable things in the past. ) Ezra Tyrius: Death Ravens Chapter, The Remnants (They do as they like. Just ask Aurelius!) chazz huggins: Faustian Regiments (Coloured for the same reasons as the New Order. Seriously, they tried to kill the Lord General!), Waaagh! Warprider
2BlackJack1: Iron Warriors
Ashiraya: Glacier Serpents
Righteousrob: Wolverines Valiant Chapter, OP and previous GM Kharne the Befriender: Necrons of the Kageros Dynasty
Hopefully that gives an idea as to who is who, controlling what, and allied with whom.
As for power levels, War Kitten's Eldar are pretty well spread out across the Eastern Front. A small force, but very maneuverable.
Bear in mind that the map I'm working on will be a big spoiler if I post it now, but that will help with positioning once I get it up.

Lord General Zonand weakly opened his one remaining eye. Rheumy liquid filled it, and he raised an arm to wipe it off. He noticed the plain white overall he was garbed in, and the clean, starchy medicae bed he was lying in. He also noticed the giant blue figure by his side. The figure dropped to his knees, still towering over the Lord General. "Captain? Is that-" "Acting, sir. Acting-Captain Ha-" "Aurelius. Yes, it is you." The Lord General weakly chuckled. He had taken great enjoyment in watching his guardian get defensive over his rank. It was one of the many things he had grown to appreciate with Aurelius' presence. The protection, obviously, was the best.
"How are you, my Lord?"
"Stop with the 'Lord' crap, Hadris. I came inches from death back there. You saved me. You kept the Crusade going."
"Just doing my job, Lo-" He paused, and his tongue struggled to find the right word. "Zonand."
"That's better. You know, I could've promoted you for what you did. Made you a full Captain. Captain Hadris Aurelius."
Aurelius chuckled. "It wouldn't happen. The Chapter doesn't have room for another Captain. And I hope the vacancy doesn't open up any time soon." He made the sign of the aquila over his power armour, grinning as he said it.
"So be it." There was a pause. "You didn't have to say your name. You could have remained as Guardian, and no-one would be the wiser."
"One of the assassins escaped. An ex-Cadian, Kassani, Captain. He would have reported me anyway. You know I never liked this cloak-and-dagger stuff."
"True, Aurelius. But it was necessary. You were that close to death when we found you, no-one expected you'd make it. But you did, somehow."
"It was the Sorceror, Zonand. That damned Remnants Sorceror-" "No." The Lord General snapped. "It wasn't. It was the Emperor's divine intervention. And if you let anyone else hear that, I'll finish the job myself." There was a silence. "But you did come back, and we deleted all records of your survival. Fabricated your death. Only your Strikeforce Praetoria knew about it, and we used it as an excuse to set them on guard around me. It was just a matter of waiting for the assassins."
"So what now? Pavus will not risk another assassin strike. You are safe. What do you want of me?"
"I still need you here. It might not be soon, but Pavus will strike, or someone else will. The Crusade's borders are well-held. Your Astartes brothers do an admirable job of that. However, it is not our borders that concern me."
"Then what?"
"I trust you read the recon reports." Aurelius nodded. "The Astropaths are in pain. We have lost two of our recon ships, the Eye of Gamartes and the Lomez Fidelis. All traces lost. The Telesto's Wrath is the last one of the three. They are going to explore the region with extreme prejudice. Not only that, but we've lost contact with three worlds. Tyrell III, which has been lost for a while, Nemesa, the new world that the Eye of Gamartes was exploring, and Rockston's Fall, which the Lomez Fidelis was meant to explore. All of which seem to share environmental characteristics similar to that of Kagrenz. I don't like this, Hadris. Not one bit."
"Understandable. And what do you want me to do?"
"Simple. I want you to choose a group to accompany the Telesto's Wrath and discover what happened."
Aurelius stood up, stock still. Indecision wracked his features. He twisted his lips, trying to make sense of the order given to him. "Sir, it's... It's suicide. We don't know what happened out there. Whoever we send has a huge risk of being killed."
"Don't we all?"
"Yes, but this... I can't make the call. I don't want anyone's blood on my hands."
"Neither do I. But you will make this choice. You have these options: Karak and some of his Templars. Those Faustians would go with him too."
Aurelius shook his head. "No. He's too valuable, and he's a dear friend. I advised you to trust him with my survival. I won't have his blood on my hands."
"How about Captain Julius. Ultramarines 3rd Company. Good commander, finally breaking the hold on Kagrenz."
"No. He's my blood brother, I won't sacrifice a brother Ultramarine. Besides, he is more valuable on Kagrenz with his experience of those creatures."
Zonand was growing impatient. "Ajuran and his Death Ravens then?"
"We haven't heard from Ajuran in days, sir. He's a good commander, too. I can't have him face this."
"Chapter Master Ryus? Or Sylus? New Order commanders."
Aurelius folded his arms. "The New Order are prosecuting the Tau Empire on Julla. Those xenos have been spared the Emperor's wrath for too long, and the Order are delivering it. They also suffered huge losses on drop. I won't make their deaths be in vain."
The Lord General let out a groan of annoyance. "God-Emperor, you make this hard, Acting-Captain. How about one of the Guard regiments? The Cadians? Faustians? Catachans? Histians? Even the Death Korps?"
"Too cumbersome. Only Astartes would be able to pull this off."
"Then who? Who do you suggest?"
Aurelius' eyes lit up as he finally settled on a viable candidate. "I have one. But you won't like it."
Zonand's eyes narrowed. "If you're suggesting what I think-" "Not many. Only a couple of squads."
"And their commander?" he said shrewdly.
"Isn't it obvious?" Aurelius was grinning properly now.
"No. No, I will not allow it."
"Too late. The Telesto's Wrath will be alerted within the hour." Aurelius nodded curtly to the fuming Lord General, and left the chamber, a smile plastered on his face.
Vermillion Tier communication to the Telesto's Wrath,
You have clearance to investigate the anomalies Rimward/Spinward, and the lost vessels of the Crusade fleet. Prepare munitions and personnel weaponry for possible hostile contact. However, fear naught. You shall not travel alone. You will be accompanied by Veteran Squad Dramorian and Terminator Squad Vitruvilus of Strikeforce Praetoria, as well as myself and my personal honour guard. We shall not require much accomodation, as the brig will be fine for us. You will be departing in three hours standard. I expect to meet you in two.
I wouldn't say my Eldar are super powerful. They're on equal footing with the rest of the factions that are present. My Eldar's main goal is to eliminate the leader of 2BJ1's Iron Warriors. You probably need to talk to Smudge about your faction's overall goals in the system, who your main foe might end up being (like mine is the Iron Warriors, or at least they're supposed to be), and where you're going to start off
TheEyeOfNight- I swear, this thread is 70% smack talk, 20% RP organization, and 10% butt jokes
TheEyeOfNight- "Ordo Xenos reports that the Necrons have attained democracy, kamikaze tendencies, and nuclear fission. It's all tits up, sir."
Space Marine flyers are shaped for the greatest possible air resistance so that the air may never defeat the SPACE MARINES!
Sternguard though, those guys are all about kicking ass. They'd chew bubble gum as well, but bubble gum is heretical. Only tau chew gum
. I still need to write up Julius' reaction to Aurelius still being alive, but I feel I need to have more than that write about. I've had way too many short bits, I'm trying to write longer blurbs now.
