Flailing on the beach like a beached whale. While also wearing fashionable panties.
Shouldn't I be the one holding down the siege, seeing as though I would have tanks and such? You have cavalry, and light transports, you're not suited to such combat.
Send me PM WK
Oh and Kharne, I still love and care for you, but I'm going to have to tell you to fook off. Cogger is Imperial territory, so if you could be so kind as to off yourself, that would be spectacular.

Tactical_Spam Vanden clearly loves making sweet sweet love to his school. He is the most passionate, learning oriented individual you will ever meet.
War Kitten You should ask nicely before hitting people with your stick Vanden. We're a polite society after all.
2BlackJack1 Snow is great though. Snowmen, snowball fights, frostbite, snow forts, what's not to love?
Kharne the Befriender It's just the smug look of eternal irony while you wait for Creed to pull out his Baneblade so you can steal it.
War Kitten I love how this has gone from a deathly serious war to a discussion about how Vanden is secretly a whale wearing panties. Welcome to the Crusade of Fury.
Irishpeacockz Well this crusade will be endless then as I imagine Vandan has a large collection of inflatables lying around

yes but until you can actually take over I am stuck and your 600 plus tanks may cover half of the siege but its taking my 2000 + to cover an entire city and maintain a small beach head.

I planned my attack perfectly for a reason

Hmm? Oh, I'm just going to position myself along key points around the entire hive. You can fill the gaps if you like, but my first priority is to kick Kharne out of his little hidey-hole.

I'm salty that there's so much going on and I can do sweet feth all about it. I can roll now if I want, but that doesn't help since I'm not even supposed to BE THERE yet

So this is how I'm portraying the Tarellians all C&C encouraged and welcome
I will most likely alter a lot of this as well.
Spoiler:
Tarellian 'Formations'
-Lounge- Squad Equivalent, led by a Rager (Seargant), ~10-20 people
-Clan- Platoon Equivalent, led by a Rage-Master (Lieutenant or Command Sergeant), ~30-80 people
-Tribe- Company Equivalent, led by a Chief (Captain/Major), ~90-240 people
-Warband- Regiment Equivalent, led by a Chieftain (Colonel/General), ~270-960 people
-War Congregation- Division Equivalent, led by a Grand Chieftain (Field Marshal), ~6,000-10,000 people
Tarellian Technology
-Because they work a lot with the Tau, that Tau have given them a fare amount of technology, including anti-gravatic devices and electromagnetic tech.
-Their basic materials consist of a Stone that can be worked into various shapes and is produce-able. Metals similar to Bronze, Copper, Iron, and Titanium. Unique gems found in the Tarellian home system capable of storing quantities of energy which are released when the gem is broken.
-Their weapons consist of 'Shard' weapons, typically a rifle type which use rails to propel projectiles down range, 'Scorch' weapons which focus a large amount of energy in a gem which is then sent down range, and 'Dune' weapons which send a storm of small shards capable of incapacitating enemies at short range.
Tarellian Society
-Their home world is a vast Desert planet which has highly influenced their culture and society. They have Shamans which seem to be able to influence the desert sands and heat itself, it is thought that they are Psykers, but they show no knowledge of the Immaterium. Chiefs and Chieftains and their kin usually bear markings that show dedication to certain aspects of their homeworld. Tarellians themselves are quite impatient and hot blooded, but in battle seem to enter a calm rage.

I know I amlate for this (always the case, you guys are very chatty when i go to sleep, damn time zones) but the grey knights are no longer at Hive Cogger. They have been dispatched to deal with my guys in Arcannus on Crion.
So Kharne, are these lizards and their allies welcoming to chaos ? If not we may have an issue. Nice piece too, I find them very interesting as i have never heard of them before, good stuff

Sgt. Vanden I bet Irish can do that by flashing his bear chest.
Sgt. Vanden Irish is the definition of a Dutch oven

I'm pretty sure only a squad went to deal with you. They will of course be supported by elements of my Guard, but there is only a squad. So I'd say less than 11 Space Marines are going to try to take you out.

I could live with that, its filled with Traitors and Heretics and its a quite annoying distraction of forces better spent stealing weapons and tapping things that should not be tapped together.
So, as a theoretical idea to handle the masses of forces at Cogger: when it comes down for fecal matter and circular fans to impact, we can break the city into three or four major conflict sites, and do each of those like we're doing for the Gargant: everyone involved contributes a roll.
War Kitten- Nothing evens the odds like a reaper chainsword to the naughty bits
Sgt. Vanden- And now I'm a whale with panties. Can't see how this day can get any better.

Better idea.
Assign the city to quarters/gates, and have a face off - ie, the Flayed Legion defend North Gate, whilst the Inquisition attack it, and vice versa. That way, the battle can be split up into more manageable sections, and then move in from there. I think an essential thing for the GM to do at this point is to force those who take massive losses from either end of the siege, via Phyrric Victories or Major Defeats, to pull out. The weakest half of the fighter pull out, until there is only one standing. The last person standing wins.
For example, SM and IG are attacking a Tau/Eldar fort.
The Eldar and SM player get Victories, the Tau player gets a minor defeat and the IG player gets a major defeat. The Tau and IG players are forced to withdraw after taking huge losses. However, at the next hurdle, the SM player gets a minor victory over the Eldar's minor defeat - however, because the SM player had a better roll, they force the Eldar out and win.
TL;DR
Divide the battle into smaller battlezones.
Divide the battle into stages.
At each stage, remove the lowest half of participants.
This continues until an entire team is knocked out.
Well the only problem I see is my forces are a little spread for that but in principle I agree. As it stands I have 5 - 6 smaller force break ups.
4 compass point Battalions
1 beachhead directly in line with the same battalion
Remnant forces supporting the Inquisitor due to getting cut off in the city.

They hate the Imperium above all else, so does Chaos, I think thats good common ground

For areas here is what I know has already been identified somewhat and who controls it.
Southern Gate/wall Destroyed ( Presumably This is where 487th's Beachhead is. )
Salvation Plaza somewhere near the southern wall ( EoN Cultists and Kharne Bonemen)
Inquisitorial Camp somewhere inside the hive ( Chazz Combined Forces)
Unnamed Tunnels ( WK Eldar )
Hive's Outer boarders ( Four Compass points in 487th's Control, with a hole created at a Company HQ outpost somewhere in between by Kharne's Lizardmen)
Some unknown HQ in Hive ( Irish's Nurgle Cultists)
Grand Avenue ( EoN Choas Spawn)
Am I missing areas in the Hive?
