I'm going to do my best


Also I've decided to start writing for my Guard again (as a Cadian regiment). I got some Victoria Miniatures models and they've got me inspired and fired up

Glad to hear that the guardsmen are still alive and kicking!

Assuming TS doesn't skin me for bringing them back after I unloaded everything and just started fresh with DE.

I know how you feel WK, I'm putting together my Scarab Occult and oh boy do I have ideas

You best be writing for both factions, WK

I think I just got threatened.

Also, anyone know if Chazz is on all that much anymore? I'm trying to figure out what my Guard are doing

I know I kick up a fuss when i mention this every month or two but i'm gonna say it again, may we please just get the outcome from the gargant and move on ? Last time I heard Blackjack had some family troubles and I wish him all the best with that but I have found myself almost completely disinterested with this forum, I set up the Gargant scene in June with the meeting of the Imperium and perhaps a week or two later Blackjack begun the gargant. 6ish months later and we are still waiting, I mean are we gonna draw a line here somewhere and move on ? At this stage im considering just writing two final pieces explaining why my forces will be leaving Crion and just stand by the sidelines as it is frustrating to create these stories and plots that never come to life.

Rant Over

P.S apologises if this comes across as hostile and aggressive just venting a long built up frustration

Yeah, we need to get the Gargant resolved ASAP if we want anyone to actually continue writing here. Either someone takes over from Blackjack or we just continue the story without it; if the piece ever surfaces we can run it as a flashback, should that prove necessary.

I agree, we've held back by this for too long

I feel this would be a very good time to drop a separate writing campaign...

In other news my Dark Eldar just fethed up a minor city on Moon #1

So how do you all wanna do this? Do we drop the Gargant piece for now or is anyone up to write it?

If we can get details soon about how the Gargant situation went, then I'd suggest someonwriting that up.
If not, then I wouldn't mind it being left as more of a Imperial-esque battle report, in that sort of format, and just move on.

I'll be honest, I'll need to re-read the latest stuff that happened and jog my memory.

I think we should let TS or Chazz decide how to move on, that is if they WANT to move on.

I'd really like to move on. Let me dig into my PMs and find the results.

Should have a new blurb up by tomorrow.

The city is alive with the sounds of screaming....

If word of Dark Eldar activity so close to My Hounds base were to reach them, blood will be spilled WK I can assure you of that

Yes. Mostly yours.

Maybe they got a distress signal off, maybe they didn't. Look for the massive smoke plume and consult the Dark Lord TS

TS has passed on the outcome of the Gargant and told me to post it here. Feel free to speculate on how we are gonna proceed:

BlackJack (Kroot) -Major Victory
BlackJack (BadToof) -Defeat
Irish -Major Defeat, modified into support role
Kharne -Minor Defeat turned Minor Victory
Jhe - Minor Victory turned Victory
War Kitten -Victory (support)
Bobthehero -Victory
Vanden (Guard) -Minor Defeat (support)
Vanden (Wardens) -Minor Victory

So, to summarize it, the orks are hurting, but due to Kharne only getting a minor victory, the gargant still stands. I was going to have one of its main guns disabled, but it's still alive. And I used modifiers to help leading roles, like Jhe's anvil and Kharne's hammer, because they are supported by other factions, which would help increase their chance of success. For instance, Jhe has two other factions helping him, including another set of marines, so that should help out the results.

I got a victory? I'll take it.

I honestly think that maybe the Gargant should be crippled (mobility wise) and maybe require an additional boarding assault to destroy. Guns are still active so it's needed?

Some of these were already posted, right? Not the results but the blurb.

Well I know mine and Jhe's result was posted, not sure about the others, might require some digging

Yeah mine was as well.

I believe kharne has written a piece for his sharks aswell, if we can see what has already been covered we can single out what needs to be done.

Thank you Irish. I was rushing to do something else when I saw his PM. If your piece includes or may include direct contact with another writer, please collaborate for that part no matter how small it may be.

Do I need to worry about your Marines seeking revenge for that city attack Irish?

Perhaps, but my hounds will have some internal hardships to deal with in Act III, keep pushing and see what happens

I actually have no idea at the moment where you are, so it's not like I can actually do anything to you

Let's all take a break from act III and work on the Gargant thing. I have to write about the AoT getting stompa'd into the sand.
