I think it sounds good, I should probably keep away from the Inquisition

"Alright everyone, I have an announcement to make", the Sorcerer spoke to the assembled crowd of Chaos Space Marines and cultists.

"Is it time to bring death to the Imperial dogs and burn them in the sacrificial pyres?", yelled an enthusiastic cultist.

"Will we finally grind the bastard sons of the False Emperor to dust and collect their skulls for the Blood God?", barked a World Eater impatiently.

"Can I go home now?", asked Timmy the little orphan, who had been recently abducted from a nearby orphanage for whatever reason and was currently wetting himself out of fear for the mutated monstrosities coming eerily close to his buttocks.

"No, no and definitely no", the Sorcerer replied slightly agitated, casting a baleful glare at the Slaaneshi marines closing in on Timmy.

"I'm afraid I have some unfortunate news. Our operation to capture and convert one of the Knights roaming this world has been momentarily scrapped."

The room burst into noise again as everyone angrily started yelling at him, until a mighty roar silenced them all.

Lord Breacher, Iron Warrior and technophile extraordinaire, smashed Astartes and cultist alike across the room as he furiously made his way to the exit, screaming and cursing as he went.

"Lord Breacher, if I may-"

"WHATEVER"

"Brother, please-"

"I'LL MAKE MY OWN KNIGHT! WITH BLACKJACK! AND HOOKERS!"

Lord Breacher's angry footsteps resounded through the hallways for a while, occasionally interrupted by the horrific scream of an unfortunate menial standing in his way.

The Sorcerer sighed. This could have gone better.

Why do I think my Knights still aren't safe from you Ezra?

Maybe because there's a good chance a mad Iron Warrior is going to build his own Knight-esque monstrosity to roleplay Mechwarrior with?

And because I still have my Alpha Legionnaire operatives?

Man, every time I stop by this thread, it just gets weirder.

That's not a complaint, keep up the good work. TS, Chazz, do you guys want us to send you army write-ups or intros ahead of time, or just post when the new thread opens?

Inquisition member, yet still on probation as it where.

Yeah was the idea I had behind Athenar, While Randal is technically in charge Athenar is there to make sure he worthy of the rank inquisitor.

You can do it now or wait, it would be nice to get it a little early but there is no rush

As a non-aggressive force but one capable of defending themselves or an expedition, how many skits and boom things should I keep in my little force?
I may make up a drill shuttle so we can have an ice cave.

[Puts on TS cardboard mask] That isn't how it works.
Nobody sane would give that rank to a 30 year old.
Then again that assume sanity and inquisitor go hand in hand.

To be fair CoF sort of took a dump all over various hierarchy systems and organisations anyway, it just aggrieves me on the occasion they're the few I actually understand. Which is a mighty two (Commissariat and Inquisitorial systems. I am gonna have to read up on Admech for a few weeks)

I'll see about getting my IK and Eldar force descriptions up this evening.

Just wondering should my intro be about entering the system first or landing on the planet /moon ?

You can combine the two probably. Have the first part be them entering the system, have some fluff with that, and then maybe conclude with the moon landing? If you're on the first moon then maybe you can include landing near my Knights and Jhe's Wolves?

My intro is mid travel. Meet the characters, first seed of the couples crusade

Was thinking that War Kitten, i am indeed landing on moon one but its on a group of islands called the isles of pratt. Anyone got any idea on the terrain here ? Tropical jungle or more boreal ?

Island may have less dense foliage. Plus minor city keeps more controlled

Hm, my intro will be in bits. Need to convince Ed to even go, and meet the Kroot at some point.

Don't think I'll made that big of an intro, I am in the middle of writting my blurb on the Hybrid fight.

I've already got a basis on the intro for my Kroot. As alwats, I'm terribly behind on my BoB fluff.

I'm writing a fair sized chunk but its covering details and such of most of my characters and such, I have about 8....
Plus 4 knights to cover in part.

While everyone is preparing for the next Crusade, I'm just sitting here, waiting for the final part to be unleashed upon us.

I wonder how many characters are going to bite the dust this time

I wrote up an intro for my Tau ages ago, I sent it to TS.

The ending is underway still!
As of time of writing, two characters have been killed off. Many more to come.

GRR Martin has taken over!

Don't we have like, a billion characters left? I mean, I'm pretty sure everyone had at least 2-3 characters for each of their factions

I got a bunch, as long as the big 3 survive, I am happy.

I'm betting Julius bites the dust.

It'd be pretty sad if he did

I just hope I'll have enough Remnants left to go into the next Crusade

(also, I hope Ajuran doesn't get fethed too hard, but considering his luck with things, I fear for his fate...)

Thank you, Buttery, for that stand in.

Now I feel lazy. I had four characters, period.
To be fair, only Selka and Ed had total immunity (I picked Ed, Smudge extended it to Selka because he's a wizard he hasn't been born yet).

I had 17 who had come and go over course lol. Borrowed, begged, created or such. No 18 lol.

I might hand grumpyssar over to someone for a bit when Ed leaves for a recruitment drive.
Either literally leave him on ice with the Admech or kick him over to anyone who he worked with.

I had 5 characters that lived...
