I'm going to Exterminatus the forest

That's meta gaming isn't it?

My job TS.

Oh contraire, mon ami. I am the greatest mind fether of the crusade.

Gruhlak appreciated getting punted into a cliff? Weird sense of humor

I mean, it's not like he's not getting revenge (Haven't typed it yet)

I wouldn't say it's metagaming. It'd be meta gaming if I was killing the forest on a warpath to the Eldar. I'm killing trees to expand the base.

And the Eldar are mine to kill. Taranis will be angry if anyone else kills an Eldar

He's trying to get back at Sera right? (she's the one who kicked him). If so, she's not at basecamp, she's off fighting the feral orks.

Grulahk doesn't know that, he's just after a knight

So, does anyone have a suggestion to my predicament? The way I see it is that the Kroot can become a huge help to any hiring faction, or are absolutely useless when it comes down to it, mechanic wise. I understand that the crusade is an outlet for writing, and not focused on the winning or competition part of it, but I don't see a good workaround for this right now.

Grulahk could really use some Kroot right now...

He'd also be smart enough to recognize heraldry right? And that each one was unique? 3 of my Knights are off fighting the Orks, and I have one off with Jhe's Wolves. Unless you intend to go after them at the banquet, in which case things might get loud

Well... my options are to have him challenge your knight when they're doing their thing or challenge them at the Banquet...

If Grulahk goes to the banquet I think Smudge will make a comment about carrot sticks

One of those options will involve him getting soccer kicked again. Guess which one that is?

I imagine if someone hires your kroot, and they occupy the same 'hex' as the hirer's army, it'd give them some sort of bonus on defending. Or, at the very least, it would let your kroot focus on defending/attacking on the hirer's behalf while they undertake other actions.

Also recommend coming up with a sub-plot for your kroot, some goals they can pursue besides just "get hired"

War Kitten wrote:One of those options will involve him getting soccer kicked again. Guess which one that is?

If he shows up to the banquet and goes, "I venerate the Emperor!" Would anyone not kill him?

And 2BJ1, how would I contact your Kroot

If he shows up and says that he'll get blamed twice. Once for being a xeno, and twice for heresy

I've been doing stuff with the Governor, but I just haven't been able to post it yet. I've been slowly pecking away at it, and it's almost done. They'd be serving for NPC Commanders for now as well, so that gives me more autonomy than relying on players. I'll milk that idea for now until I can get a bigger picture for them.

Thanks for the suggestions, EoN. Perhaps the Kroot give people better leeway with their rolls, so BC has an easier time with the rolls on Indiana Jones exploration, for example?

And Kharne, I'm not entirely sure. They current two residing points are Governor's Mansion and the South Pole where BC's Admech are. Make of that what you will.

Considering most Necrontyr have a deep contempt for any other sentient life (which they should as the Necrontyr are the pinnacle of a species), I doubt one would openly praise the of the Human race.

I see what you mean, the Imperials wouldn't believe him... would there be any way for him to be at the banquet and not get shot?

Nope. He gon get shot.

In da face

Who in their right mind would let a necron into a imperial banquet? Unless the guvnah wants a bullet inbetween his eyes, you would get shot the moment you come into view.

I've got this really great mental image now, of Grulahk walking into the banquet hall in 'disguise', looking like a poorly-dressed scarecrow.

"Hello, fellow organics! Great day to praise the Emperor and breath oxygen, is it not!"

You do that, and Iodius would definately let you through, just to see what you would do and how funny it is.

He would then proceed to bash your metallic skull into shards with his Crozius.

I would love to see that happen.

New tactic everyone: Put a bunch of rodents down in front of the tyranids, it'll keep them busy for ages.

Ok, so to explain what's going on, because I got confused, is this.

-Tach'Var and assorted Earth Caste mooks are in my base.
-Kageros is meeting with the Flayed Legion
-Grulahk is still salty about being kicked
-Ultarn is to confused to care about being confused
-Chagh parked a ship behind Vorhees and recruited an Iron Warrior


And seeing how I'm trying to join up with Smudge's Tau and 2BJ1's Kroot....

Things are getting interesting


EDIT:Nice writing Evergreen

It was Gruhalk's fault. He's the one who insisted on observing the duel. He has no right to be salty.

SHH! You are giving away my secrets! Now my army is going to be chasing around little creatures all day instead of consuming the planet.

Thank you. I like how you are bringing old friends back into this.

I do what I can

How do your Nids feel about non-organic things?

Nice writing kharne, but i cant actually manage to read the blue writing...

Edit: Nevermind, i just had to highlight them, All good.

Nope, its fine, thank you.

Good to know there's an insane Chaplain hanging around

Nice writing Vanden

He isn't insane...He's just...Special...
