I am as well. I'm certain the kill count will be very high. Main question is: who will be in a healthy enough condition to bury everyone else?

Also, in regards to my Kroot, I'm not sure how many I should bring along. I could just do an elite group of five, but then I'm hardly versatile. I could being in a whole war party with knarlocs and whatnot, but that's more suited for an invasion, which I'm not doing. Any ideas? I'm having a hard time figuring it out, since I'm probably over complicating it on myself.

Just bring in a bunch. Kroot aren't invincible, and If you only bring 5 (no matter how cool they are), they'll die pretty fast unless they have significant plot armor (or are in massive Knight Titans). Or both

Use the Number of Kroot I sent to you that were swallowed by the Warp.

I can find the PM I sent you that detailed the specific number

I just thought of the perfect song for the End Times.

Let the Bodies hit the Floor

That's excellent, WK.

And Kharne, I'm well aware of the durability of Kroot, but I still don't want to have a force as big as the one you mentioned. That one was able to survive in an entire sector sized crusade for a decent amount of time. I'm going to have more than five Kroot, but I want to find a limit on them that isn't quite a full blown invasion force, but isn't able to get killed off by a single grenade.

They could have been mostly wiped out by Daemons?

I'd rather just start new, Kharne, if I'm to be honest. I find it unlikely that the Kroot could've survived long while being exposed to the warp, next to a warp rift that had CSM trying to summon as many daemons as they could in the meantime. It's a cool idea, but I'm not sure how many Kroot would be left standing, and sane, when all is said and done.

I agree, twas a notion I'd though I'd throw in

Forgive me if it came out like that, Kharne. I wasn't trying to gak on your idea. Don't get me wrong, it was a cool idea, and I liked it, but I already had some ideas in mind, and with how my backstory and intro were planned out, having them stuck in the warp for so long wouldn't fit into it.

It's perfectly fine, don't feel bad, I can't be offended keep that in mind. I didn't really expect you to go with it

So I need to go be buddies with BC's AdMech. He's got the good repair team. Either that or pray that Jhe's Techmarines are good at repairing mini-titans

The more and more I think about it... the more and more I want to field IW/DKoK/Mechanicus (30k flavored)

Kroot + Carnifex = Krootifex. It would be unstopable.

The more and more you say that the more and more I want to shoot your CSM in the face.

Why?

Well, Lilliana is at war with IW right now, and bringing them in to the next crusade would only make them hate you more. Archarus isn't going down without a fight, and I doubt the Eldar will be walking away unscathed, so they'll probably be more than willing to try and off your IW.

Pretty much. Archarus has left a rather negative impression of IW in general for my Eldar

I keep forgetting IW are chaos, I meant IH

The Admech would welcome the opportunity. The longer you leave one out of commission, the more they'd be able to tell you about your own vehicle. Now there's a roll table.
Being that the armor is part of your character, they're not gonna stuff it up, but if you wanted a feature improving, and gave a little time, I'm sure TS could tell you whether it happened.

Writing my end for CoF, and realising that the love triangle is technically Selka <-> Edward <-> Fairfax because actual bromance. Poor Ed, doesn't like this ending at all.

Not sure my iron priests are the guys cleared on knight suits, the more simple rites and basic every day maitience work but not full repair and rebuild.. You may get binery tuts for calling them techmarines lol.

Though I may have my main iron priest at least be able to say replace a outer armour plate or such low end work, nothing internal.

I just found out how I'm going to incorporate other Legions into my army

I need to figure out a reason for my Eldar to be in the new crusade

They're Eldar... do they need a reason?

Started on my wolves meeting the knights.

Wk, they make a good first impression.

I would hope so, we ARE spending a while in transit through the warp together. I would hope that we can get along during that time. Not much to do, it's either do MORE maintenance on the Knight Suits (they are relics after all), or talk to your guys.

Any idea of when you'll be able to get the ground battle up Smudge?

Since previous arrangements are no longer in progress, I'll seed the cultists into Hive Cogger if that works out.

The gods of Chaos always forgive.

Granted, it's usually by making people into spawn, but whatevs.

Bad WK.

Also considering we spent less than a page talking about his last awesome entry and went right back to bleating about 2, he can take his sweet time with this.

Think I'm gonna start talking about 3 as soon as 2 launches, just to dick with you all.
