Is there anyone left in Cogger ? I presumed that the armies of the imperium killed every last heretic and burned the hive to cinders, maybe some portion of the population survived in the underhive but in the hive itself I wouldn't be so sure

Same here. I assumed that Cogger had been taken generally and the only non-Imperial resistance was isolated groups in the Underhive.
Could be wrong still.

I think what youse are all missing is some Capital Punishment. Never fear! Stone Wardens are perfect at that!

As DM of the moons, I didn't authorize it. I don't recall BlackJack doing it either.

Fair play - I do keep forgetting the two GM thing, seeing as I've stayed only on Crion itself.

There are still many many cultists in that Hive. You can't just raze it after one good roll.

I thought would be portions of the population that didn't fall to Choas and became like resistance groups and the production facilities themselves would be valuable enough to get cleansed and back to work.

The inquisition is very thorough Drakka, I doubt anyone will survive

I think it would have been very hard for non-Chaos civilians to have stayed in the Hive. I can imagine that the Chaos troops would have purged the city completely, unless they swore fealty. If they swore fealty, they'd be put down by the Imperials. However, given the size of Cogger compared to other locations, I can see why Cultists (especially given their decentralised command structure) would have some token resistance in the Hive.

Keep the facilities, eradicate the populace, and throw in some settlers from other places to keep it working. Leave some troops behind as a garrison, and maybe pick them up later.

That or if the flayed Lord arrives in time he could pick them back up.

If they survive for that long and if he cares about them that much

I've actually written something regarding Cogger Hive, but am waiting until after New Pavus happens to post it.

I'll write faster then.

I wouldn't say the Cultists were anything close to being a token resistance. Considering almost the entirety of the Chaos super friends and Kharne were sitting on that Hive, nothing short of the Ultramarine's Second Company lead by Captain Cato Sicarius armies that took part in the Gargant defense plus what was already there could have taken the entire Hive down.

Chazz can you PM me a hint of what your doing in Cogger so I can reflect in my writing?

He wasnt saying the Choas was a token resistance but that the civilians could have had token resistance movements in the choas occupied hive.

I loved that post so much I made two of them

No, I think you've misinterpreted me - seeing as the Imperium did roll well, they may have pushed the main enemies out, but what's left is just a resistance of sorts. Not a force that can actually retake, but will harry the Imperium if they pull out too fast.

I'm not letting Chazz or anybody else push the bulk of the Chaos forces away after one roll.

Didn't we already have a massive argument about this when Cogger fell? Let's not revisit that. What happened happened. Let's go discuss something else

Agreed. I already hear the salt storm coming. Let's vacate and talk about something else.

Per say, who do you guys want Capital Punishment'd?


Holy feth I'm agreeing with WK...That doesn't happen often...

Hell must have frozen over.

I might send my Knights down to the main planet, lots to do down there

Speaking of rising storms, my next post will be out soonishly

Or we can bite the bullet now and get it over with. It needs to be resolved.

Another day, Another argument in the crusade of fury, very different atmosphere here nowadays and it aint for the better

Agreed Irish. I think I prefer the 70% smack talk to the 80% argue.

Apparently we have to stay on topic nowadays so the smack talk has been all but obliterated from here unfortunately

The discussion is civil. We need to resolve Cogger for the Chaos writers and whoever else is there (Chazz, WK, Drakka?)

Well I have no problem continuing a campaign against the faceless and leaderless choas masses left in the hive.

My Eldar would just LOVE to play peek a boo with Drakka and more chaos cultist peasants

Is Kageros invited to the Cogger Reunion?

Isn't he busy in New Pavus?
