Ok. I'm happy with how the plot armor will work for my Knights now. The pilots can be badly hurt in case of a major defeat, but more often than not the real loss will be losing a Knight Suit, or the Suit taking extreme damage, both requiring time before the Pilot can re-join the fight.

Couples crusade momments lol

Ok. After talking to TS my CSM are being swapped out for Eldar. I'm aware that some would have preferred the Skulltakers, but I kinda wanted to even out the ratio of Imperial to Chaos to Xenos. Now time for my CSM's will.

The base network goes to 2BJ1, the artifacts within go to Kharne, and the Blood for the Blood God! paint goes to BC for interior decorating purposes.

And it's a bit different for me 2BJ1, my entire Imperial army consists of 4 people in Knights, plus some armsmen and retainers (who are basically storm troopers)

Buttery, don't man handle those relics...

I'll warm my mechadendrites, don't worry.

Now, I suppose chaos needs to elect a new general leader? The Skulltakers were pretty much the de facto leader of the alliance. And WK, despite your unfamiliarity with harlequins, I still recommend you throw some in. A death jester running around would be great fun.

Time to go make nice with the AdMech.... I have 4 Knights that are all first produced in the GC era (the first of the type, not the individual suits). For those of you who care enough or might interact with my Knights enough that you might need to know what the types are I'm bringing


1 Cerastus Knight Lancer

1 Cerastus Knight Castigator

1 Cerastus Knight Acheron

1 Cerastus Knight Atrapos

I didn't mean to screw things over for everyone else, it's just a decision that I came to after deliberating for a while. And I'll gladly throw in some Harlies if it makes things a little better

I don't care who it is, as long as I can get my artifacts...

Now I'm wondering how my Eldar fleet did in the void war....

Considering my Necrons are there? Probably not to well?

Considering Eldar, they weren't there.

You know that one freighter that was just sitting there in the background? That was secretly my entire fleet in disguise.

You did say you were focused on saving Eldar lives, and nothing else, so they probably didn't show up. Why bother saving the mon'keigh, they're useless to you. You've said it yourself.

That's true, but they also really want to destroy the Iron Warriors (well, Archarus really, but if they kill some of the others that works too). So they might take a calculated risk to try and eliminate him.

Wouldn't that call for more of a ground battle thing though? Let the humans clear out the atmosphere and beyond, you kill off Archarus, then leave in the chaos?

Is Archarus going to have some awesome last stand quote?

Hadn't thought of that, but it'd be cool. It'd be up to Smudge now, since I hadn't thought of that. If he can throw one in, cool, but seeing that he has so much work to do, I can't blame him for not having it. Either way, his final moments are bound to be quite spectacular.

You're right. Carry on mon'keigh. I'll see you all dirtside!

Hey Buttery, will you be bringing some HH era Mechanicus?

TS finally made me cave. The Crusade of Babies is about to begin here.....

Since I hardly see Julius being a father, I take it Liliana and Korvel got a bit familiar with each other. Now, I was thinking about it, and this definitely adds more tragedy to it, but I wondered about what would happen if the Warp Spider died?

I fail to see how it brings in tragedy unless you do end up killing Korvel. Lilliana is coming back in COF 2: Electric Boogaloo

That's what I meant, WK. I knew that Lilliana was coming back for sure, I was just throwing that out there, since I was thinking about it.

And my apologies, TS. I thought Korvel was a warp spider. His name was Jumper, after all, and warp spiders tend to teleporting around the battlefield.

Autarchs tend to be in several different "aspects" along their path before they become an Autarch, and they usually keep some equipment from each. So Korvel might have kept the jump generator. You're welcome to try and kill Korvel if you want, it'll just make Lilliana angrier

Lilliana smash?

I feel bad for saying it so often, but it's up to Smudge at this point, and how well each facton rolled. And I'm fairly certain Archarus could pull it off in his new form. He has enough limbs to attack in every direction, and could even grab the Autarch after breaking his teleporter, fly into the air, and drop him from a couple of hundred feet. Or impale him on something.

I'm sure Korvel would make you pay for killing him... Fusion gun to the mouth...

It's true that it is up to Smudge. I just thank the Emperor (or Khaine/Isha in this case), that Lilliana has plot armor. Korvel isn't nearly as lucky. I'm interested to see the outcome
