Lots of tough hard rock.
Ideal for a landslide...
We could drown it I bb water or stones

As masters of Defense, my Men and I shall hold the line. I request resources to fortify the pass.

Emperor guide you blades.

Why don't you convene all available Imperium forces? Maybe set aside your differences with a few Xenos to take down this Orky threat?

Hmm your guiding us tonform a grand alliance and I agree. We need more than space marines and knights.

The craftworkd eldar have wraithknighta/ ?

Who what's to call a meeting?

And knowing past events, who has the biggest fortress?

No we don't. We are the Imperium of Man, not the grand Alliance of the Galaxy.

I'm part Imperial Fists. I have biggest fortress, you come meet me. Simples.

I'd suggest that we meet at Irishpeacockz's house. He's out of the way of the Ork Dread mob

Then where are we going to fortify? I'll get right on it.

Why don't you call for a meeting of the Imperium Forces and any Xenos you might want to call your allies? Do some rolling, get some suggestions in.

I'll leave the rolling and the writing to the people with time and brains. I need to write some gak on my Guard.

Dude come on. I make an event which requires a team effort and you don't even want to participate.

I do, I just can't organise for gak. As soon as someone gives me a direction to go, I'll write and do gak.

In my Only War campaign, we took a Gargant with a Stormtrooper, two Ogryns, a Sergeant and a heavy weapon guy so fat he could match the Ogryns in term of toughness.

So, I heard you wanted xenos allies? I may know someone of use, for the right price.

Really, what would Kroot help with when fighting orks?

How about fighting orks? Kroot are efficient killers, and can definitely help clear out the common rabble. I also have two winged Kroot that could be helpful with infiltrating the gargant if we take that route.

They're not useless meatshields, and you're going to need as many allies as you can get. I recommend dropping the astartes superiority pride, it tends to lead to bloody deaths.

Pah, you xenos are all the same.

But sure, you wanna help, be my guest, but I ain't payin gak. Go talk to the more xeno-friendly Astartes.

I'd rather they held onto that attitude, actually. Makes for a much better comeuppance when they actually meet a force that's qualitatively superior...

So, what going to happen, is that we secure a line, preferably in a easily defended and non-populated area, fight the gak out of the orks, and hope for a miracle when it comes to the gargant/s?

Great. This will go great.

Well I finally own a computer, so I can read more than 9 words at a time.
Time to get back in the game, I hope.

I look forward to seeing your EC in action. Those Pink ponsy Marines gonna get their gak kicked in by trees.

My clowns can be good allies, provided you keep them entertained

If you haven't read the Word Bearers omnibus, I highly recommend doing so because it is 57 varieties of amazing.

But also, it brings up a useful tactical technique when the aforementioned Chaos Marines assault a Titan: drawing it into a canyon (or similar geographic feature) from which they could limit its maneuverability and ambush it at close range. In the book, it was a team of Terminators climbing the shins to give it severe knee pain (read:melta bombs), and Gargants are just about as unique a war engine as can be imagined, but the idea has good cinematic potential.

As an aside, good to hear from you, BC

As an aside to the earlier aside, I am crunching on my next piece in the Cogger saga and hope to have it up this weekend sometime

Never bought a chaos orientated book, and I never will. Imperium ftw.

Commissar Death Budgie approves of your loyalty. Good book, though.

Also valley means the gargant cannot use its range ior bring heavy weapons to bear so easily to defend flank. May also have weaker flakn and aft armour

We still have to lead it there. Which shouldn't be a problem considering how easily TS's arbiters led the orks into WK's dudes. So what, you want me to start fortifying a pass? Go all 300 on their asses?

Well it might work. Rig the pass and set up some landslides.

I can send some wolf scouts and as ton of explosives...
They know what to do.

But also need to call crusade chomand together. Need alot of assets. Scions fancy dinner grab chut melta action ?

Yeah, either that or dropping behind the Orks and pincering them.

That could work. We could maybe shepherd them close to the gargant, and when it goes boom...

Might need a anvil at first to take a beating as gargant vanguard will come first. Hold them to make them pack into pass thus limiting movement and weapons ability to fire.

Anvil holds the line then the hammer strikes from above and maybe even behind. This is going to need alot more than two chapters and some scions.....

It's basicly a massive trap. We may need eldar mind fethery to get them into it ..
