So when are we going to need to roll for the ground battle at New Pavus?

Patience young one. Chazz/Tactical_Troll will tell us.

Speaking of the Dank Lord, I haven't seen him online much in a while.

I may be able to help with the chaotic side of things if things calm down in here in the far north. If I am wanted/ welcomed that is then

Sorry for the inactivity, haven't had a lot of time/energy to write much these days. I was going to send Kharne a PM to get the intel about Gore's dudes, but I was putting it off a bit as I didn't have any ideas for a new piece

And yes, the Remnants are still on the north pole, but I still need to wrap up that little plotline I had going over there...

We always want new writers. You can send a PM to either Chazz Huggins or Tactical_Spam if you're interested

I will do that if things remains calm here at my end, been following this since the start.

Then you will know just how crazy it gets around here sometimes

Oh I would not expect anything less

Well, I actually rolled for it a while back, thinking that there wouldn't be much of an air battle. I was proved wrong, evidently.

You're always welcome, and we're trying to reduce the amount of disruptions, so to speak.
On record, I'm just going to say that if anyone hasn't read any of Trondheim's stuff, it's rather damn good. If you have time, go do so.

Ok then. Don't trip over the Ram Scythes while you're around

Many thanks, I shall see if I can find the time to cobble togetter something in the comming week or so. And many thanks for saying that

There's no rush to get anything written. This is the kind of place where you can write at your own pace

I would like to point some things out here about the Pavus battle. A manta cost 2000 points in a 40k game an Imperial Knight cost 350-450 points so when I here that one side has 3 mantas and the other has valkyries and vendettas thats not really a fair fight.

I have 4 Knights on the moon, but they don't know that's going on.

You're right though that us Imperials seem to be lacking super heavies this time around (so far as I know)

It isn't supposed to be a fair fight, we are trying to ambush the imperials and try to catch them off guard. Since when are all battles supposed to be fair ?

I thought I read some one say it was suppose to be an even fight, I am just pointing this out from a readers perspective when someone say 3 mantas thats enough transport capacity for 3 Hunter Contingents. My entire force is like 1.5!

Go blame Kharne for that. He's apparently got Mantas out the wazoo. Irish has a bunch of Plague Drones (I think), and whatever ground gribblies he's raiding us with

Slight modifications can fix that unless they seriously dedicated that much to the fight if so you guys have a lot to deal with!

Good Luck with 3 Lords of Wars!

I'm pretty much an infantry regiment with a few Vendettas. I didn't stand much of a chance in an air war. Irish bested my air power pretty handily. Bob is doing just fine in the air (he's the one who beat Kharne and his Mantas)

My Guard have several Baneblades and a few Deathstrike Missle Batteries. And Hydra's, so have fun flying anywhere near me.

Yes but do you have anti bug repellent ?

Yes. Yes I do. It's called lasguns and bug-zappers.

And Leman Russes that can aim upwards.

Yes I do. I have Raid (aka Flamers)

I voiced the same concerns, but Kharne's Mantas have less weaponry in favor of more transport capacities.

And who needs firepower anyway? I was able to deep strike Scions on a Manta once, and by the Emperor dessicated balls, I'll do it again.

That's just Raid with a lighter.

You laugh. But it works!

Too bad I couldn't mount some on my Vendettas, I might still have some aid power if I could have

Mate, I know. It's what I use to flame moths out of the air and off my walls.

This is really cruel, and twisted, but it's funny seeing a flaming moth fall out of the air.

I just hope I have enough Raid, or at least enough so that my ground forces aren't completely outclassed

Vendettas can have incendiary missiles. That's what I planned to use to destroy Tiller camps. Then everyone showed up.
