TS im already blown away and we haven't even started. I thought you were playing as a force of adeptas arbites, must of misread the roster. As to the eye of night's request i also do not play 40k so i have no models. It is my intention to get some space marine models though and when i do i'll paint them in the hounds colours. I did mess about on bolter and chainsword though.

My writing is subpar to what some of the others throw out.

As far as I know, TS, you're pretty much the only one who managed to sneak a major plot twist into the Crusade without anyone realizing it, so I think you deserve some credit

What plot twist? I wasn't even in the last crusade.

Spoiler:

Also, as far as you know.

I sense BAD THINGS APPROACHING RAPIDLY

This is why I got so lost in the last Crusade. Plans within plans within plans within plans within plans, wrapped in an enigma, and finished off with a mystery bow

He also ran off and took all his toys home with him and left a planet evacuated. Though I only care because I had to counterfeit a tapestry.

Funny how that happened.

Funny how I can't keep up when the entire Crusade is getting mind-fethed. Real funny

Remember that whole thing with the Genestealer cult and the survivors of Gallor Prime that I retconned? I had a ludicrous subplot in the works there.

So, I was wondering what kind of commissar allocation would a PDF get.
I mean, on one side they can't have one per regiment, as there aren't enough in the Imperium to outfit every PDF regiment, on the other hand, during the Second War for Armageddon, the Steel Legions were that worlds PDF, and commissar Yarrick was there.
I was thinking about having one big bad commissar assisted by discipline masters (which are the 30k Militia Commissar equivalent, but I'm just assuming that 10000 years after they would still exist) and military police, but I'm not sure if that is against the establishment.

Maybe a off world lead commisar, veteran lord commisar who is high authority.
Could have a smaller local schola that suplies more junior members under lords supervision.

The schola trainee commissar idea could be what you're looking for.

However, I was under the impression that there was at least one per regiment. The Imperium's a big place, and not all Commissars are big bad motherfethers. Some could have assigned a small trainee discipline cadre within their regiment. I'd still say there was at least one commissar attached to a world's PDF forces, even if it was just the one on the whole planet.

Are you planning to be a PDF force from the planet? That won't work if that is the case.

A PDF would have their own commissar. Usually they are people who would be retired through injury, or have performed a political taboo. Not a crime, more just they annoyed the wrong person. It is the commissariat equivalent of being stuck doing filing until retirement.

PDF commissars do not have the same rank as an IG commissar, who could drop by and take command.

Commissars that failed, did petty crime or reaaaally pissed someone off, are sent to run penal battalions. Because they'll die faster than Either IG or PDF.

I can change them to guard easily then. That poses the question thought, do I reduce the size to just one regiment? on one side that makes it easier to place, on the other a regiment may prove insignificant compared to a company or a company and a half of Astartes.

I'm going to change some names, and some genders, and probably some unit allocations and see what I can come up with.

I hate naming things thought, so I'm probably going to copy one of those regiments that have, like, one line in the Gaunts Ghosts books, and that noone knows anything about them.

Running them as Guard would work just fine. And one regiment would also be fine, you might just have to make it a bigger regiment (remember that Guard regiments can range from a few hundred guys to hundreds of thousands). I for one love trying to come up with names and fluff, it does help to look at what planet a regiment comes from, and what you want their specialty to be.

I'm curious, why can't there be a PDF or regional guard?

Oh, I like describing every organisational nuisance just fine, it's just the Name Thing I struggle with.

But after some ultra quick research I found what I wanted, the glorious Landrian Light Infantry, whose only fluff consist of: "well, then 309th got eaten by Kroot".

Probably going to have them be one regiment with independent support, all under command of a general coming from a third place. The table is ready, confusion is sure to happen, Tchar will be happy...

I am saying no until Chazz says otherwise. I am not sure how much of the story he wishes to share.

Ok, so got first half on intro done, only 1050 ish words and that again roughly on second chunk.

no need to brag, mate

I mean, he's already said that the intro is going to be like 11 pages long. He's earned the right to brag I say

A regiment can easily beat a company, the way

Hand written. There far more condensed on my laptop, but then again longer as I only hand wrote a first draft with edits, notes etc on scenes etc.

Hey, ya all get some good reading when I'm done

Depends on which regiment and which company. It won't be an easy feat killing 100+ space marines.

I'm going to start typing up my blurbs on my laptop, and then transferring them to Dakka. That way I can catch grammatical/spelling errors easier. (my laptop and Dakka's proofreading stuff seem to not like each other that much)

Well. I tried to write an intro and ended up writing a weird section about Garth literally babysitting in a warzone.

Clearly a high fever and chest infection don't make for sensible anything.

Actual intro related... Blackjack do you want a lift down to Crion or are you traveling independently?
