I'm fairly certain I already wrote my part for the gargant

Forgive me if I am wrong but from the list I have previously posted it seems that what we have left is as follows:

BlackJack (BadToof) -Defeat
Vanden (Guard) -Minor Defeat (support)
Vanden (Wardens) -Minor Victory
War Kitten -Victory (support)
Plus TS who wasnt listed for whatever reason

So five pieces left really and as for the Gargant I believe someone said it wasnt destroyed just immobilised, im happy with that leave it linger wherever it is and it will surface again at some point

Since recce's my battalion specialty I could leave a squad to track it

I suggested that the results of our attack would leave it immobile, and if we wanted it dead we would have to launch another attack on it

Sounds good Bob, and yeah WK a follow up assault could be cool. I was thinking the the orc writers could try and repair it for the final battle whenever and wherever said battle will be.

Just some thoughts on the matter

I can agree with that, we just needed to get it out of the way for the time being.

What's the timing for the Gargant again? Is this before or after New Pavus timeline wise? It's been so long that I forgot. It's mostly for the purposes of the tone of my pilots as they missile the Gargant

Before, the sniper teams involved were recalled after their mission was a success to back the 85th, they arrived a few days before the final siege.

So from the looks of things WK and TS are writing their pieces on the Gargant, which leaves us with just Vanden who has to write for two forces and Blackjack (although judging by the Gargant I think we should move on without this piece, it is orks so it shouldn't effect the imperium anyway)

I intentionally gave myself a defeat because I need to progress my story in a certain direction.

Are you going full heretic on us TS?

Don't expect much from my blurb. It's mostly going to be rockets bouncing off the Gargant

That suggestion is gross. 5 years is too soon for anyone to go full heretic.

Didn't stop you from going full heretic before.

I'm going to still wait on Jackie-boi. I think he deserves to at least finish the piece, and I don't really mind waiting any longer, though I certainly see your frustrations at the duration of time this has taken.

In other news, I lost abut 3-4000 points of Necrons at my GW, lost my girlfriend, and am quite depressed in my house. Life is fun.

That's awful Vanden. I hope things turn around for you, I really do.

Cheers mate, and I know they will, just need time and stuff, that cliche gak.

On the plus side of this, I'm on the singles list again? I'm not gonna look for a while, but at least I have options.

I just picked up the 4th edition Guard Codex, and in addition to some actual information on the Chem Dogs, it has a glossary at the back of many Imperial Guard slang terms. It might be worth looking into for my fellow Guard generals in the Crusade

How did you lose 3-4000 points?

Fire, thievery, someone else smashing them, all sort of horror stories.

Spoiler:

This is the internet, this gak isn't secure.

Sorry to hear that buddy hope things turn out well

Sorry to hear all that Vanden

Left the wrong gamecase at my GW, and it was sadly stolen. Now I'm stuck with a Night Scythe, 44 Warriors, a Overlord, and 5 Immortals.

And now I get to add another 48 Warriors to my list.

Dare I rumble the hive ? What I mean is what is gonna happen once the pieces everyone is writing come out ?

Vanden wants to wait for Blackjack while others want to move on, thoughts ?

I think perhaps we message Blackjack and see whats up, if he fails to respond in a weeks time, we give the piece to someone else to write

I assume we then sort of fast forward to where we are now, just after the assault on me and Bob's forces/my DEldar smashing up a small city

Man the Gargant really has everything held up doesn't it? I think at least half of us are involved in it in some way or another

I hate to be redundant but we really need to get a move on on the Gargant stuff so we can get on with the Crusade....

I completely agree

A thought I want to share aswell, as much as I want to move such a effort is actually quite difficult for me. Without even trying to remember everyone else's character I can't remember small details about my own which makes referencing things almost impossible.

As such a "catch up" reading session is required at least for me before I begin to write again, just thought i'd share this strange position I find myself in.

And yes we really need to move on, with or without Blackjack or Vanden im afraid

I'll probably compile a character list for my DE and Guard (at least what I have so far), and since jhe hasn't posted in a while I'll take my Knights back as well

That's a good idea
