Perhaps Gadnuk is the Big Boss? That'd be cool.

I mean, the chapter is called the Blood Dragons

They've also been presumed dead for eight thousand years. What is your point?

8000.... And I thought my ruin I was exploring had been left for centuries....

I should have my Eldar blurb up by tomorrow, and I'll get my Guard blurb up not too long after, just have to finish talking to our Mighty Lord about something.

Okay, so the Guard piece that I may or may not get out by today will be set before the meeting. Just a heads up to you peeps.

I'm working on blurbs for my Eldar and Guard. Things went well for my tricksy Eldar (those Inquisition and Chaos fools are too busy slap fighting each other to notice me!). Still waiting on my Guard roll, but it involves my Vendettas/Vultures pestering the Gargant for long enough so that Vanden can build a pillow fort to hold it off

Wait, so are we meant to send TS the rolls for the Gargant? Ah gak, I have to figure out what I need to roll for...

Start building the fort at a canyon, or defend a more defensible position?

One would be less study, but we might be able to crush the gargant under pebbles, the other, we would have more to shoot it with, but thats how we'd have to kill it. With bullets and lazers.

Well, I did pretty well at locating the main body of the mob of Deff Dreadz and Killa Kanz, and I was successful in my rocket runs on them. Can't do much to the big boy with rockets though.

My Kroot will just be in the trenches getting stuck in with the main ork infantry, and/or dropping in, killing off a few nobz and boyz, then falling back and repeating the process elsewhere. Probably the latter, because it's less costly, and drains the morale of the orks if they get less of a fight.

Well, someone is going to have to hold back the orks until I build the fort, then someone is going to have to lead them to the fort.

Volunteers?

My guys are currently doing bombing runs on the main body of the horde to slow them down, and the horde itself is moving slower than anticipated, for reasons known only to me and TS

The Kroot may be able to assist. Launching raids is their specialty, and it helps show that they are useful.

I'd be careful about raiding too closely to the horde. I'm launching bombing runs on the main horde.

Here is the objectives for the assault on the Gargant. Irish guessed his number exactly, so he is the head of this operation.



Jhe90- Space Wolves, and Auxiliary forces
You are an anvil. You need to keep the Orks as far away from the Elevator as possible and preferably out of the desert. It is far too easy to lose them in a sandstorm.

BobtheHero- Tempestus Scions
Headhunting. Kill the Nobz and a Big Boss or two to destabilize the internal affairs of the Orks. They more we can get the Orks to fight themselves the better.

Tactical_Spam- Arbiters of Truth
Clean up crew. I will be picking off any stragglers or vanguard units that get to the desert.

irishpeacockz- Emperor's Hounds
You are in command. You can do with your forces as you desire. Keep everyone in line.

chazz huggins- Inquisition/Grey Knights
You are tied up at Cogger. If you have anything to spare, you can go assist in the headhunting.

Kharne the Befriender- Charcarodons Astra
You get your wish. You are taking a book out of Lysander's book and forming a "Titan Hammer." You will be the one to bring down the Gargant.

Sgt. Vanden- Stone Wardens
Fortify the Elevator. You will be following the Wolves into battle. If the situation turns south, you will high tail it back to the Elevator and hold tight until the other forces can relieve you.

War Kitten- Elysian 14th Hell Divers
You will keep air superiority and be on standby for the Sharks. When the Gargant falls, you will need to divert yourself to knocking out any other priority targets (ie, Stompas, Mega Dreads, War Bosses, etc).

2BlackJack1- Kroot
You will be picking off stragglers, support units and anything that lags behind the mob. You will also keep in close contact with the Governor and fill him in periodically about the state of the offensive.

Sgt. Vanden- 2nd Helsreach Gorgons
You will be providing air support for the Wolves and be holding the line with the Stone Wardens.

Okay, disregard the roll i gave you.

And what about my Guard? They're there too...If you need another roll, just tell me.

May I ask what my Kroot will be doing? My guess is just sideline activities like thinning the herd?

So stupid question, do I need to roll for my objective in addition to the roll I got from you already?

They are the Helsreach what again? I will add them to the OP so I don't forget them along with the objective list. In all honesty, they will probably be holding the Elevator along with your Wardens

Yep, along with being Governor Payne's eyes and ears.

2nd Helsreach Gorgons.

I could help WK with air runs too. I has a lot of gunships(not as many as WK, but still quite a few)

You are fine for now. I will have you roll later.

I think your gunships would serve better with the Wolves as they can easily refuel and rearm because they will be closer to home. What do you think?

Where are your Gorgons again?

Ah, ok. This will be a fun event to write for. And if everyone wants to get some fungus steak, the Kroot may be willing to share, provided you ask nicely, of course.

I'm fine with that. I get a chance to finally prove my worth in the eyes of my allies

Got a short blurb up for my Eldar that serves two purposes.

1. To show that my Eldar aren't dead.
2. To test out the feasibility of writing more blurbs in first person POV. I found it easier to write it in that style, let me know what you guys think.

I liked it. It certainly helps with character building, and adds a new depth to the 'Eldar superior race' bit the knife ears have going for them.

Assassination duty eh? Better rock out the hellshots then. And good thing, most of my forces are tied elsewhere

I thought you'd start with Lilliana, but nope. You start with Raela.

I was trying to show how Raela (it was Raela for those of you who were unaware) has changed since she joined up with the Eldar. I'm trying to make her more of my character, and how her thoughts and feelings have changed since becoming a Warlock
