So I guess no more Deathmark raids? Good writing, I enjoyed the beginning suspense.

Was that last bit about watching the stars just because I happened to blow up your engines one time? Man you hold a grudge. Also, leave my Eldar out of this, they're currently busy fighting 2BJ1 and his Iron Warriors

I think he was referring to me, maybe both of us.

I will come and use BOTH my Nova cannons on "world destroyer" setting, that is the grudge I hold. Touch my ship and I give you to Slaanesh in a hand basket...

I kid, I kid.

How about this, my Eldar leave you alone and you leave us alone. Deal? I don't have enough ships to take on your giant feth-you ship, and I'd rather focus on the dastardly 2BJ1

I may ally with you as well... Ryus hates Fyragh more than you. Enemy of my Enemy is friend, yes?

Archarus is getting all sorts of popularity. Orks want his help with building stuff, I got asked to join a necron alliance, and Eldar want to see his head on a pike. It's nice for him to get the recognition he deserves.

We're both enemies of the Nids... Friends?

But I can kill Nids. I figured out the anathema of a hive fleet and I am fully prepared to use it

Popularity until his planet gets krumped. Watch the stars.

True, I can also kill Nids

Yes. I'll see about arranging for Lilliana to try and meet up with Ryus at some point. We'll figure it out.

You better watch it. The only stable route is through a Slaneesh infested planet. You'd have to blow that up or conquer it to get through, and then get in range of the literal planet version of the death star.

I have two Nova cannons... One for that planet, one for yours

TS, I think its time we play out the meeting between our commanders.

No I am arranging for Ryus to meet with Lilliana. I will make it work.

Logical idea, but which commander

Tell me, TS, how well would your Novacannon fare against an operational world engine?

Gallus who landed at the New Order camp/base and whoever's in charge, which is why I left the names out for you to decide.

The World Engine may have advanced shielding in the case of this, but in any case, a direct counter to the guns is technically metagaming. So, semantics.

Alright. Just let me know when you plan on doing that so I can actually give you an idea of what Lilliana looks like and all that good stuff.

Then you are going to speak to the inquisitor

I'm not bringing it in, I'm curious as to how much damage a Novacannon would do.

I'll let you play it out, if you don't mind.

Considering Nova cannons are explosive warheads primarily and I can fire one shot from each gun that can individually kill a planet at the cost of making the guns unusable for the time being and gimping my own power capacitors, I would say it would be very dead

How wide is the opening of a Novacannon?

No ship can get close enough to actually get inside the gun. You've got a whole damn fleet and a powerful frontal shield to get through

It would kind of be like throwing a Pidgeon at the side of a battleship wouldn't it?

This is why it's hypothetical but entertaining.

Put up a small blurb about the Eldar's reaction to 2BJ1's attack. The Eldar are now looking for friend's in this sector, who's up for it? (Sorry Kharne, but not you, Eldar and Necrons don't mix and you're already friends with my DE possibly)
