Anywho, Smudge, I will put in my message for the Tau in my next Necron blurb. I'm not sure if I should write one before or after the Chaos Business Conference.

Also, IW themed Tau (I'm redoing the Rix'Lan)

The Rise of the Tau has begun?

Time to unleash the Deathstrike

Whereas mine are more Alpha Legion or Raven Guard themed. This could be interesting...

Probably, I won't be able to write for my guys for a while and counter the Tau moves

Yeah, so basically imagine IW Tau that employ a large amount of Tarellian Dog Soldiers

Don't you worry - Sunstrike won't dare flat out attack, and will be very careful to ensure a "fair" fight between the Tillers and Loyalists.

Besides, I think that chazz wouldn't rely on you countering, as Scions don't tend to be so stagnant, but rather apply a negative modifier to my scores to show the morale boosts your Scions give to the garrison. At least, it's what I'd do.

Or Human/Kroot/Drone screens

I have most of my men in the city locking it down, although I intend to use them and the PDF assigned to them fow two different roles.

How many Scions? I think that regular PDF forces would be most likely to hold the walls, with Scions hunting down Tillers within the walls or holding the main gates. There simply isn't enough Scions to cover the walls evenly.

2000 Scions and 5000 extra PDF plus the local forces that need a number

Dear Fellow Crusaders,

On behalf of Kroot kin everywhere, it would be greatly appreciated, and beneficial, if the new races being employed were deemed fit for Kroot consumption. This bringing in of new Tau and chaos has caused a new struggle for the kindred that cannot be stopped by theor skills as a soldier: hunger. Without enemies that are deemed edible, the Kroot will be unable to gain new genes, and will fall to stagnation. So, for the Kroot everywhere, feature some units that are edible, and preferably delicious.

We thank you for your consideration,
Grand Shaper Ta'lok

Yeah, also expect to be seeing Shas'Vre Harax on Thardega

(For those who don't know, Shas'O Harax leads the Rix'Lan)

What is the life span of a Tau? I've head from 40-80 years

Yeah, in which case, I'd probably say that there isn't enough Scions to properly guard a whole city, fight off the main insurgent army, AND root out the rebels in the city?

I hear that Orks taste pretty good. Not Eldar though, too stringy

Taranis and Exitar disagree

If the AoT had adequate manpower, I'd throw Astartes at all of you.

It's why I requested extra PDF. As far as I know there is no army so to speak and Tillers are so keen on open conflict, I might be wrong

Exalted

Coming to a fast food buffet near you:
Tau/Human Burr-meat-o

A nice tender limb wrapped in the other race's flesh! A filling meal full of Vitamin D, Protein and Iron (due to some drones being caught in the factory). Nutritional! Tau wrapped in human! Human wrapped in Tau! Tau wrapped in Human wrapped in Tau! Human wrapped in Tau wrapped in Human! The possibilities are endless! Comes pre-cooked (due to intense promethium and plasma burns)!
Warning - whilst Tau/Human Burr-meat-o is 100% free, you must brave the wall of pulse rifle fire first.

I have a question for everyone regarding this Crusade.

My Necrons utilize Dolmen Gates. http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Dolmen_Gate
I know it seems like Eldar Webway Fethery, but it's not.

Seeing how the portals are somewhat unstable, they can only be used to transport small amounts of units at a time, and no vehicles.

This is my primary use of transportation between bases and major outposts.

Is everyone ok with this?

I thought 40 was rather old actually?

The Tillers are inside the walls, as a covert force, but a main army is bearing down, under command of a Captain David Nassau , fresh from a victory at AHC-02.

Not really, since Dolmen Gates are said to be old stuff, you can't just make new ones like that

You know what, I fethed up.

I've been thinking of Eternity Gates like the ones use on Monoliths

I was wondering something similar for my Eldar. Say I wanted to get from moon 2 to Crion, how exactly could I go about it? I REALLY doubt the Eldar would take the human's space elevator, but I'm wary of using massed webway gates because I'd like to not cause issues with other players like the bit that happened with EoN when I showed up in his backyard with one.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure on how the Space Elevator situation is working out. It does seem to limit anyone not Imperial.

As long as territory laws are enforced (ie, no going into a besieged city, no deploying right outside an enemy fort without attacking it), I wouldn't have an issue.

This for the most for me as well.

I also concur with this.

Oh good, that means my Eldar can disappear to Crion when the Cogger party gets too intense

So I finally got my favorite and my personal Chapter notes up. I need to make it cohesive now.
