Selka survived CoF purely because Smudge said it wasn't fair to die before he was actually born.
With that in mind I edited my material and gave them a happy ending to that plot line. Originally the conversation with Fairfax about the "sleeping" gas was just Selka accepting the end. There was no psyker, and no reveal, and Ed still thought he blew Marcus' brains out.

I'd probably have regretted it, the snark is too much fun.

I can probably integrate some missions for you...

That'd be cool. I like things where they can be solved by both knives or words.

Yeah, my Tau won't be always a fighting force. They're more than capable of diplomacy, and might prefer it far more seeing as they're cut off from the Empire. More of a "You don't shoot, we don't shoot." kinda relationship, which might improve as time passes.

They might get blammed at a few times...

Unfortunately Smudge you're on the moon with Imperial Knights and Space Wolves, both of whom are very likely to BLAM you in the face. Suffer not the xeno to live after all

Okay, so i have come up with a skirmish for my guys, being them under attack by astartes, traitor, or otherwise (Hint)

/...Recieving Transmission...
/...Transmission Received, Location: [Insert name here] Received From: Adeptus Astartes Chapter 'Dying Wish'
/...Chapter Deemed 'Excommunicate Traitoris' by order of Inquisitor [Insert name here}
/...Playing back Transmission...Please Wait...

*Static* I am Brother-Captain Aladar Thahanas, of the Chapter 'Dying Wish', we are under immediate threat from unknown hostiles, we are outnumbered and outgunned, and can make no contact with our Battle-Barge. We have no where to go. *Distant Explosions* However, if we are to be killed off here, on this world, then so beit. The last contact with 'Dying Wish' shall be a glorious one. We give praise to the Emperor, and ask him to deliver us fro- *Explosions can be heard* What!? Astartes!? Oh by the Emperor no...*Static*

/...Transmission End...
Please him me opinion on this It is appreciated DDD

P.S. Got the idea of the chapter being hounded by some Inquisitor, for he believes that they are traitors, like the rest of the chapter. The chapter then runs off to a system, and we'll see what happens from there.

Seems pretty nice, although TS might go yell at you, he doesn't want us to have anything on the world as of yet. Maybe one of the other Imperial armies can come and help out your guys? I'm eager to write something else for my Knights (beyond the duel that I have planned)

Well you should take after my EC and be nice to the tau.

I am not writing the story though I still don't want you guys on the planet.

I was trying to make it like, on another planet, didnt want it to be in Crion, cause TS said specifically to not touch Crion. So i was using it as background for them. Sorry, probably should have made it known in the last post

Ah. That makes sense then.

So, is the knight duel on a ship, or on Crion? We debated briefly, and as a compromise to make it on the planet, one could say it was close to a hive city (without mentioning which one specifically, even, if some are chaos turned from the start) so there won't be trees trying to eat the duellists or anything.

I think the general consensus was to have it be on the planet, although on a ship could work (though I don't know how Kharne's Lord would get there and get blown up). Depends on what the rest of y'all think would be best

A ship would exclude people like Kharne and blackjack.

I think on the planet would be better. We could have a nice, sunny day with a summer breeze, maybe a few chirping birds. And then comes a knight trying to make the other spit out a few teeth to end the cheery gak and remind everyone that there's a war going on.

And like what BC said, Kharne would be excluded, and my Kroot wouldn't be able to get the drop on it.

I don't think it quite would. If 2BJ1 is there in a mercenary fashion, he might be allowed on the ship (although everyone would be cautious around him). Kharne's Marines would be fine (again, not trusted much since the Space Sharks are all bat gak crazy), his Crons would have trouble though admittedly

I had planned for the Kroot to be more of an unannounced arrival to the duel, for a small standoff type event, and the perhaps show the Kroot's ability to get around. I am willing to set it aside if it's too much of a hassle, but I liked the idea, if I'm to be honest. I'm not saying they just show up with no one ever meeting them before, but that the Kroot are around isn't common knowledge. It gives people a nice surprise, and might make it harder for some to oppose the Kroot if they're more anti xenos mercenary.

Again, I can work with changes, but felt like it might add to the intro, but that's just me.

I was still operating on the assumption that it'll be on the planet, but with how TS has been regarding the planet (and since the duel is in part two of my Knight intro.....)

I think I had made a fair enough compromise, but I'm not the one writing it, so I don't know if that's a big enough window, but there has to be at least one spot on an entire planet that is safe enough to have a duel on it, right? If there isn't that, how could we even deploy safely without getting killed from the start?

It was a very good compromise I felt, but I also felt that I needed to keep all my options open depending on what else TS said about the duel or the planet.

That is also true. I suppose we will have to wait and see. Also, I've been thinking about the estimated amount of Kroot I'd be bringing along. As we know, it's more of a scouting and recon force, and also a support for assaults, and won't do lone assaults on fortresses and the like. I was thinking

~70 Kroot carnivores
~10-20 Kroothound
~5 Krootox
~10 Kroot hawks
My main curiosity is where most of these Kroot would be able to settle. I'm starting at Gov.'s Mansion, but something tells me the Governor might be hesitant to accommodate such a force. Then again, he (or she) might be hesitant to say no when they're all milling around on his lawn. Hopefully Crion has better nobles than Novus Regulus, or I might just see what DNA I can gather from them when no one is looking.

I got about 1500 Scions specialised in recce and scouting in this there's a bunch of airborne assault company of about 250 Scions

Still, why use it on trees instead of.... dunno, actual enemies?
