They aren't either of those.

No, but my Tau are

I think an update to the timeline is due once both New Pavus and the Gargant are written up, just to actually figure out when certain events happen

The one good thing about Cogger is that if we go back to it it'll be real hard for Kharne to find me

If we go all out in it again. My Wyrm guard now has the battlements and I can still set up a siege works.

There are multiple Chaos armies present. I'm sure one will have a leader whose willing to take over.

Okay. I was under the impression that they all left the grunts that were not part of their personal armies high and dry when the citadel fell. I am all for a leader from the leftovers of the three armies emerging to unite the choas superfriemds masses against the righteous Imperials who no longer are in the mood to save the hive but wants to cleanse and purge it. Or one of them sneaking back in to retake control.

Edit: Choas Super Friends which one of ya what to face the Wyrm Guard to retake The Hive?

*laughs in Eldar*

*Steps back into the shadows hissing at such responsibility

Maybe if no-one wants to command the Cogger cultists, an NPC leader might rise from the ashes, and if the Imperials are beaten back, the Chaos forces might need to negotiate with the new cultist champion.

Got a blurb up. Bothering Vanden

Or you know... EoN might have said he might be coming back so I wouldn't want to rip his army out from under him

Surely you meant, would not?

Yes I did. Phone likes to autocorrect incorrectly

I was actually assuming his elites and his core army did like the rest of the choas and made a new base somewhere else. And actually was more intact for Erza's post made it seem like that the reason the citadel fell was because he knew before hand and left the others high and dry so he possibly take all the choas forces for his own.

Aren't the Black Legion still fething around in Cogger somewhere?

Where's Kharne? Why would the Flayed Legion leave? The Flayed Lord would be hella pissed if they did.

It was just the sense I got from the IC posts and I was rolling with it. If they are still there but in another part of the hive cool. More epic battles for my now entrenched Guard.

Just stay away from the lower levels. My Eldar don't like guests

Wel Ezra's dudes left with my guys on thunderhawks but there probably wasn't enough space for all of the black legion so yes some of them might remain

Drakka's actually right here, my post did imply that Lazarus knew the blade of Damocles was about to hit Cogger hard and that leaving everyone else to die was part of some master plan known only to the Flayed Lord. I wanted to give EoN the chance to pick up his army again should he still want to do so, and this seemed like an elegant way to do it (and it fit with EON's mofus operandi, in my humble opinion)

As for the Chaos armies that tagged along with Lazarus & co, they bailed as soon as they found out that they were being used as expendable meat-shields, so there shouldn't be too many of them left in the city themselves. There shouldn't be much resistance left in Cogger either, the Imperials steamrolled the defenders rather efficiently (mostly because none of them saw the attack coming).

Ur a meanie Ezra. How dare you bring facts and fluff into this argument? What do you have against your Chaos brothers

So governor Payne is holding a funeral for his nephew and is inviting all the loyal forces so they may also discuss strategy. Who would like to send a representative. Also don't worry no surprise ork raids I swear.

As everyone has been saying its fine to keep Cogger going for those who want to stick around. Besides I saw what Chazz has next and I am forming a bit of next too. I think it will be an interesting thing ( Imperials dont always hang tight lol)

Hmm either Sergeant Jacob Holliday or Colonel Raven himself? I wonder how they would like a Wyrm at the funeral or a squad of them.

I would love to (not really) but my forces are preoccupied by a Gargant.

My Knights and Guard will definitely go. Assuming we got away free and clear from New Pavus

Same here, besides feth the Paynes incompetent fools

Ta'lok might watch from the distance, but I'm not too bothered either way.


And the Gargant Chunk was going to be done by last Monday, but there's been a family emergency.
