Would it be Ironic if I left the Necrons in the ground and went with Corsairs?

I take that back. I could do a full on armored regiment.... or maybe a light infantry regiment ala Gaunt's Ghosts...

Hmm...Kharne with Corsairs...Good luck everybody.

*is having a crisis of faith off in the corner*

Armored regiment, it seems we already have mechanized infantry, my Scions are in part light infantry (in heavy armor, but shhh), we have no heavy armor support once your knights are gone.

Mate, my Guard still exist. I technically have three regiments. One Light infantry, one Veterans and one Mechanized..

Edit: I realized you were talking about me...

Technically they're not going anywhere. I'm giving control of them over to Jhe (if he'll accept em), or frankly any other Imperial player who wants some heavy mech. I'm sorry but I just ran out of ideas for them completely.

So, I'm assuming no one has a problem with Evergreen picking up the Dark Mechanicus, because it balances the odds and he only has one other army so far, and it would hardly be fair to tell him he couldn't make a second army when some had three for a time, regardless of how much they got used.

So, I'm worried that my picking up Chaos as a third faction would be too much, as it may be one faction too many. I suppose I could counter argue with the fact that my Kroot are support, and not a command and conquer force. But if people are against it, I won't do it, because I don't want to push something people are against.

And WK, I think a heavier infantry would help make up for the loss of the Knights, similar to what Bob said. Just my two teef though, it's your army at the end of the day.

That's why I'm asking for ideas.

Again, sorry about the Knights, but I ran out of ideas. So I'm assigning them permanently to one of the other Imperial forces.

GO WITH CHAOS! GO WITH CHAOS!

Like seriously, do it. I wouldn't classify the Kroot as a command force, And I can't see why TS or Chazz would oppose you. Plus we need more Chaos players. Just so they can get smashed in the ned.

Well, a heavier vehicle army would be helpful to the crusade effort. Something cool to do might be Harakoni Warhawks, or a regiment like them, with the jump pack type assaults.

Don't know all that much about the Warhawks. Are they an air-cav regiment (like the Elysians?)

Yeah, they are. I just forgot the name of the Elysians, (maybe because Harakoni Warhawks sound cooler to me). No one really has an assault army like that, so it adds contrast, and has a lot of writing potential. Personally, I'd run out of ways to say "the tank fired. The enemy died." But that might just be me.

You have a point. An air-cav regiment imo would be pretty cool to write for

I hate it when you give me even more ideas 2BJ

Hmm, or rough riders... Riding space lizards into battle could be fun. Then Gorgrim has something to 'liberate from da humiez' too. Feth, I'm not helping, am I?

No. No you're not

Although Gorgrim might still want to liberate the things that I'm shooting him with. Rocket batteries hurt ya know

The more it hurts, the more he wants it. After all, if those humiez can make it kill an ork, then when he gets his hands on it, it'll kill a city. (Exaggeration, of course, but ork mentality is great)

Harakonis are pretty much a regiment of Stormtroopers.

They have carapace and hellguns, but they're also an IG regiment

Throw enough axes at me and you might jam an engine. Maybe

Now I'm intrigued. Ok, I'm sold. I'm probably going to bring in more Guard for the Crusade.

Well, just wait for me to finish my latest ork writeup, it won't be axes you'll have to worry about.

I just might bring in some air cav then. They sound like a good combination of what I wanted. Armor and infantry

And now I'm terrified of 2BJ

Edit: I'll figure out a homeworld and all that stuff for them over the next day or so and I should have an intro lined up by next Monday

I have been toying around with the idea of bringing in a DE faction for a while but decided not to due to time constraints. If there is ever a COF 3, DE will be the faction I choose.

I l look after at least one knight and slide that into my force.

Don't start this.

And Il definitely take Amanda valorn and slide her into mine. I need her for the couples crusade.

Rest of house, maybe.

What talking about CoF 3 ? If so i agree

So just like the banquet I think there should be a number of objectives given out so that we actually have a purpose in the crusade, any suggestions?

Yeah, a list a of objectives.

Could be asigned based on the force strenghs or choices?
Scions for example would not do the full on heavy lifting the marines might have to do.

Well the orkish horde to the south of Canis Caelum is a big one, perhaps the dragon ? I think the imperium needs to have a presence on both the moons and the planet itself. The tillers still need to be wiped out and the chaos occupied moon needs to be purged.

The Kroot can help with the orks, or they can help finish off thr Tillers by cutting off the head of their leadership (see what I did there?). They could try to scout and observe the dragons, but I don't feel like throwing away Kroot lives by making them knife fight a dragon. Even their plasma weaponry and whatever flamers they acquired wouldn't be enough to take down a big dragon.
