Hey guys, Check out this thread and tell me which regiment or regiments would you guys prefer me to bring. I am flexible. I still would like that squad I mentioned as a Command squad or something. I would appreciate it.

Well. So far for Guard we have

Me: Air-Cavalry Regiment
Vanden: Mechanized Infantry (with some flyers)

So pretty much anything would be just fine. I would suggest either an infantry based regiment (since we have 2 mechanized ones) or a pure Armored Regiment.

Boop.

Apologies for the inactivity, but real life has caught up with me again. Oh well.

Finally finished a little piece on Kusun, hope you guys enjoy it

Ezra is fighting reality again

No problem. I will hang around. I am actually enjoying the back and forth.

As a not!GM, I'd advise on bringing a single regiment. Easier to manage.
You've put a lot of effort into that Command Squad, but as a Sergeant, they won't be able to command more than a platoon. You'd be better off writing from the Regiment Commander's perspective, at least somewhat. You can run both, or from the grunts' perspective, but it would be easier to start out at the top. Again, your call.

Regarding that squad - their own potential will be limited. This is a full crusade, not a series of squad actions. Would you be prepared to lose some of that command squad as casualties in the battles to come, knowing you could fail heavily? Again - this crusade is about Your Dudes, but less the infantry and more the army leaders. If you have time, check out the casulaty count in the last CoF - most factions, bar one or two, were practically annihilated, and the anti-heroes won. This will not always be in your favour, in case you weren't aware. GMs rule everything. But hey, you'll be fine.

Welcome to the CoF II.

No worries, good piece!

Ah its good dude. After talking with tactical some I am just going to Use the 51st Lunar Ventorii Armored Regiment. I am now trying to fluff them out so they can match what is needed to participate.

The Regiment is a Mixed vehicle Regiment of mostly Leman Russ Variants with Baneblade Variants as Battalion Command vehicles and has a Battalion of Artillery Support.

This is it boiled down if anyone cares. As a Forge World Expedition Fleet Escort.

Also, Drakka, what's your guards' opinion of xenos mercenaries? It sort of affects me. Ta'lok always appreciates a human that won't shoot him in the back. Almost as much as Grulkin likes punching the nearest moving thing that's smaller than him.

Well that particular squad is actually pretty forgiving considering they have a half elder hiding among them. just a couple are really xeno phobic.

Remind me to look into that. If anyone's playing with knives around here, it should really be the Legion dedicated to skinning people.

You're welcome

EDIT: Ezra, a fine intro piece. Be looking forward to the Legionnairres adding some fuel to this bonfire

Ta'lok is good with a knife room just ask Edgar, oh wait...

You really shouldn't look into it. It's perfectly fine. Really. Just keep up your little war against Chazz and don't worry about what the Eldar are doing behind the scenes.

I hope I did your cultists justice EoN, I was having some difficulty with portraying them; I couldn't decide between them being regular cultists aka dudes-way-in-over-their-heads or actually well-trained militia

Stop distracting me with shiny things, WK. Literal shiny things. Grey Knight armor, you know. Fine-tuning my next post, should be up this afternoon.

You got it pretty well. Most of them are native Crionians anyways, who have never even seen a Marine at all. I'll PM you some collab stuff and we can work out where it goes from there.

I will never stop distracting you with shiny objects. My shiny objects will block out the sun

So where is the distress call loudest? I.E. Who would most benefit from a Armored Regiment reinforcements? I know the Crion is winding down into the Xeno's hands or at least it seems that way from the map. And the Moons are facing an Ork horde with a Gargant? or am I missing something?

There's a couple of crises ongoing. I'd recommend checking out the current armies, talk to someone who you might reinforce, and that way you can have an IC and OOC lead-in to the campaign

That's why I put it here so people can tell me who would actually like reinforcements. Then I can check out who is interested make a decision, then write an IC lead in.

Im sure Chazz's Inquisitor would appreciate reinforcements at Hive Cogger.

Hive Cogger is not on the map, his inquisition symbol is but not the hive as far as I can see.

It's on Luna Epsilon, east of Mt Gorgon

Okay sure. I would be glad to help. now two points. I understand that Chazz has been absent recently so we will need to wait for him

Second, is a Armored column really gonna help him inside a hive. The guns on Baneblades and Leman Russ do cause um lets say collateral damage a lot.

Hmmm good point, there is still some feral ork warbosses to wipe out.

Would it be wrong to break into battalions and support a few people?

Quite frankly you'd probably be better off helping with defending the Space Elevator.


Oh, and my Guard blurb is up. I did some recon, and blew up some Orks. All in all a pretty good day for me

Good point, and my Artillery Batteries could dig in and possibly help against the Kroot at the Governor's place. Basilisks are a wonderful thing. And Have my other three battalion deploy around the elevator and patrol? what actual threat is right there?

I am locking down a city with the help of the men from the Blood Fort, wonder if they'll behave

Which city?

New Pavus, I have 2000 Scions and 5000 bloodthirsty PDF there. I can spare enough snipers for my objective Vs the Gargant, all that said

Bob's guys are good at head hunting. Just ask him about the Tau Commander he assassinated in CoF 1

Took a lot of resources, even an orbital strike, but I got my (wo) man
