Archeo-technologists of the Adeptus Mechanicus have unearthed an incrediably rare STC from the golden age of humanity on the Death world Angus Prime. Codenamed 'Cradle', its valus is beyond measure, but purpose is unknown.


Imperium :
Angus Prime is a desert world in the Baston system. Its surface is pockmarked by hive cities. The greatest among them is Hive Altarionum. It is a huge urban accretion, built-up over many thousands of years, and home to countless numbers of people. A conventional assault would bt out of the question. The hive is fortified to such and extent that it can fill the skies in a rain of bullets and blasts, it would shread an but hte biggest army in seconds.

His Waagh! has been bolstered by freeboter pirates, Deathskulls and "Da burnin crows' an infoous sqwadron of fightas. He also has a large amount of vehicles maintained by Big Mek Tuffgob.

Good man sounds like a fun character! I was planning of having a Waaagh! and hoping somone would be a stormboy
Mind being a blood axe? They are the stormboy heavy ones who use human tactics like camouflage, artillery and stuff

Sure, no problem.

Which page is it on?

Bloody as in graphic. Instead of

'I hit him with my choppa he died'

It will be

The last thing too go through Lt. Baileys head was a choppa the size of his torso. Gorzag swung his choppa down with enough force to break an Astratus, it cut cleanly into the conscripts skull, splitting him in half. The young gaurdsman didn't make a sound as his bones were shattered. Gorzag stepped back as organs spilled onto the iron griding. Gorzag swung again and again. The air was filled with a thin mist of blood as Gorzag bellowed a guttural Waaagh!

Anyway, because everyone has an airbourne character, im going to re-write it so its on a normal planet, anyway I'll leave the chice too you guys

Hive planet A - A Desert planet, Spirs are hundreds if not thousands of miles from each other

Hive planet B - Entire surface is covered by a megacity

Industrial planet - Remember the Medusa campaign? the one with the vostroyans? like that

Jungle world - jungley

My fave would be Hive planet A, just because it would be easier too write for the Orks. Im going too post the first event on Sat evening. If their are no more imperials, Ill make a load of NPCs too support them, same for eldar, but I don't think they will need it.

Each of you will be on their own, so no Eldar - Imperium loving as it doesn't really fit the fluff, but you will not come into combat
Well, you won't be on your own technically, you do have allies, but you might not get reinforcements till a fair bit later so dont waste them!
And its standard 40k so 1 man vs 1 ork, man gonna lose, 1 man shooting ork, ork gonna lose

Waaagh! Husk!

Thousands of orks - 4 stompas - 1 Gargant

Gorzag - 3 Sqwads of Stormtroopers, each in fightabommas. Led by NPC Boss Badgob w/powerklaw/bosspole

Merius Kar - 10 swopping hawks

(I always thought eldar should be more elite than they are on the table top, so you only really need 10 men)




BTW Loving the Mek idea

It's circa halfway down page 31. And I vote Hive A or Industrial. Just can't decide whether it would be more fun choking a guy by slowly pouring sand down his throat or slowly lowering him into acid feet first till half his body is gone and the chucking him into the gears of a giant machine .

I vote B

mind if i play?

Name: jak que
Race: imperium (human)
Appearance: medium length brown hair,hazel eyes,normal hight,a little skinny.
Equipment: storm trooper carapace armor,hot shot lazgun,X2 frags,X2 krak.also a knife
Personality: easy going for a storm trooper.dosent like being pushed around.unless really pissed,thinks before he reacts.
Background: a kinda wierd dude who has suvived sevral fights and small wars,he has taken out enemy captians and warbosses alike,falling from the sky very near them and taking them by surprise.but he also knows how to be sneaky and not be found for weeks deep in enemy territory.

i vote hive b.

Im sorry, I meant to put a Wich blade not power sword *Face palm*

Archeo-technologists of the Adeptus Mechanicus have unearthed an incrediably rare STC from the golden age of humanity on the Death world
Angus Prime. Codenamed 'Cradle', its valus is beyond measure, but purpose is unknown.

Angus Prime is a vast desertified planet containing several important Imperial facilities. Two Hives (Hive Mechanum and Hive Meath)
and the Nafarinum Spaceport. To the north is an area known as the Talahari Steppes, a massive area of steppe land where little will grow, and to
the south, an endless ocean of sand, this is where Hive Mechanum is situated. The Nafarinum Spaceport is a Mars Class II Spaceport
officially with a population of around 1,500,000, as well as being classed as a critical objective. The Space Port is perhaps
one of the most tactically important places on the planet due to it being the only place larger numbers of reinforcements can land and disembark.

The greatest settlement is Hive Mechanum. It is a huge urban accretion, built-up over many thousands of years, and home to countless numbers of
people. A conventional assault would be out of the question. The hive is fortified to such and extent that it can fill the skies in a rain of
bullets and blasts, it would shread all but the biggest army in seconds.

The men in each players control is under their name. Lead them too victory! But lose too many, and bad stuff will happen
Correct spelling and capital letters will also bring large rewards

Imperial forces currently control both hives and the space port, Waagh! Husk is hurtling through the void, straight towards Angus Prime


@ wildhost, Witchblade would be way too overpowered, and you have too be a warlock or farseer too use it. Power weapons grand, or any weapons swooping hawks can use

F***ing SH** I forgot I chose an autarch... Sorry won't happen again I was thinking of a Diffrent RP.. .Soooory!

Watching as a Mek hammered the last little bits onto the fighta-bomma, Gorzag waited impatiently. The Wierdboyz had said that they would be there soon, though they had no idea where there was. The fun stuff was already over. Gene-stealers slaughtered, Chaos boyz killed, rebels quashed. And they should now be leaving the Warp soon when was soo-
KRRRNCHHHD!!!!
The Space hulk juttered and ground into realspace with a violent jerk. They were here. "Oi Boyz" Yelled Gorzag gutterally "Git in da Fighta Bommaz and git'cha rokkits on koz we'z goin Fightin!" The resultant bustle of action pleased him immensely.

'Right boyz, lissen up. Gorzag, you and da burnin crowz
find their boss and krump im good. Tuffcog, you and yer
boyz gotta kill that gate over ere'.
Husk pointed too a cruedly drawn line on an oiler peice of paper.
'Den da boyz can get in and stomp dem humies good! Easy see?'
The assembled nobz roared their approval. Bashing on their
crude armour with huge mailed fists.

'All units are in position lord'
Fabricator Aurelius didnt know what too do. Millions of lives
were in is hands, but he was a coward, a spinelessly groomed
inbred nobleman. He had never even seen a xenos. He risked a
glance around him. He panicked as Inqusitor Guiles met his eyes.
'Prepare all guns. We must repel these degenerates for the
Emperor' Said Lord general Fairfax. ' These barabrians will break
themselve on our walls'

Farseer Al'Jeist has seen what horrors will unfold on Angus Prime.
He must prevent it, even if it costs his own life. His elite force
of auspex warriors emerged from the warpgate. It was opened with
huge risk and regret. They must find the Fabricator.


BTW (brilliant opening rabtorian)

(Thanks. So I'm leading a covert strike team of sorts right? Drop in, assassinate, cause havok, survive, right? And the leader is the wussy fabricator right? And he is in Hive Altarionum right? If not, i take back the following post.)
Gorzag and his boyz were ready. They and the boyz in the other fighta-bommas called out in unison as they prepared to leap out of the impressively modified planes, named Crow, Raven and Blackbird. Crow was lead ship and Gorzag's personnal transport. "Lotz'a seconds" They yelled. They continued this until the target was nearly below them. They then all went into the more scientifically accurate cry of "5... 4... 3... 2... 1!" Before they cargo bay doors opened. The sky was stark and blue and the air cold and sharp. The world appeared round. Time slowed to a grind. The fall seemed to be stopped as seconds lasted forever. The hive below left a visceral scar on the surface of the planet and Tendrils of it ate into the orange-red of the ground. Boyz flew and whirled like leaves and the the planes pulled off. From low orbit, there was a long way to go. As eternity rolled on, forces kicked in. Gravity sent Gorzag into a steep descent, they gray stain coming ever closer and clearer. Then came drag, which kicked into his face. His inertia pulled back on him but he pulled off it. Again time ground to a halt. A cargo Valkrie flew underneath and in the endlessness of the second, Gorzag saw the weld marks of the aircraft. The descent continued. Buildings loomed up and went past him and boyz cried in glee. The ground came up. Rockets flared. Still Gorzag did not activate his. Washing lines whizzed past and faces flashed by. Still he did not ignite. Pedestrians could be seen. He lit up, not up as one might expect but at a 45 degree andgle downwards. He slowly pulled up, turning momentum into lift. He flew towards the set meeting point as the fumes of Meath blew by. "Umie Boss, git reddy ta be Krumped" was muttered so low under his breath that onlly a crow flying the other way heard, and it did not really care about what the flying ork said.

As the alarm was raised,Jak heard Sargent Deff yell to them "All storm troopers to valkaries.All strom troopers of squad 4,to valkaries!" As Jak stopped polishing his gun and jumped to his feet,he smiled.Just another drop into enemy lines,and just like those 4 other times,Jak planned on ending it soon with a laz shot threw thier warlords head. As he got into the plane with the rest of his squad,he heard Phin say "You think this will become a war,or just a big fight?" "Every 'big' fight is just a small war,but dont worry,if are commander isnt a fool,he will drop us as close to the enemys command group as possible,not caring if we die,just that we kill the warboss." Jak replied with a smile. But in truth he hoped they were dumb,these were orks,if they got to close,it was over,just like on alphia,were he had seen his last sargents head get crushed,brain bits going in every direction.As the plane took off,he only hoped it would just be a small war.

Klimino. Caps. For the love of all things holy, caps. Please.

OOC: ....fiiine....typing fast on a ps3,dont judge me.

OK. Thats fine. Just be careful. Read how he said that those with good grammer get other bonuses.

OOO: I know,I know.But im not the best at grammer and only the 2 worst computers we have have spell check. You can at least understand it,right?

Yes.

OOC:Holycrap! What a chain Im about to cause!

"Kar, Are you ready?" The exarch called out while loading his sunrifle.
"Yes, We should move out, let me finish loading my Catapults." I call back.
"Ok, Do not dawdle it is important we stop those valkyries and let the orks get thier hands dirty, Naris will give you some haywire grenades before we set off." The exarch called back. I needed to learn his name, but he was just so fickle. He was like me. The Farseer had told the Hawks and Me(Im an Autarch) to cripple the valkyries. The orks would be killing the fabricator if the Imperials didn't put thier *ucking feet in the door." Ok men, take a deep breath. Let the wings read your instincts. Now lift off." The exarch always gave the speech even though the hawks had done this 1000 times over. I took a deep breath and did as he said. I loved the way the wings take control. The best hawks could move fast as some jetbikes, but they were very rare since Hawk recruitment had dropped to 45% of what it was 120 years ago.

I don't mind any of them, but I would like Hive A

(No everyone is in/above Hive Meath, but your post is good. The smaller of the two hives. Deemed tactically unimportant, It is being ignored by the bulk of the ork Waaagh!. But Fabricator Aurelius's death would be devastating to Imperial moral. The Cradle was found on Hive Mechanum (Where General Fairfax and the bulk of the imperial war effort is concentrated), in the desert ocean too the south, while Hive Altarionum is beside the space port(Epic finale)

(Fabricator Aurelius is at the top of the Spire. High above the primary defense batteries. It has 4 Hydra flak batteries at each corner. He is under protection by Inquisitor Guiles and his retinue so plan accordingly)
(Since the bulk of intros are done ill do some choices, remember each decision can devastate your squad or bring them glory. When someone in your squad is dead then they stay dead. The longer you spend in enemy territory, the more reinforcements you will face. And each choice will change who you will face in combat)

(Oh and if you dont agree with something, send me a pm and ill see if i can change it. But dont underestimate any enemy, if you wouldn't beat them on the tabletop, you will have to do a hella good description to kill them)

Rabtorian :
A. Lead your men up the east side of the spire. This is the fastest way to the fabricator, but you will come under the fire of all 4 hydras.
B. Land 4 floors below. Battle your way up like a true ork.
C. Conduct a series of hit and runs on your way up the spire. Send the defending forces into disarray as you seemingly strike from all directions.

Klimino :
A. The orks are ahead of you, speed your valkarie to the Fabricator. He must be protected at all costs.
B. Lead your men up the spire. Level by level, clearing the area of Xenos.

WildHost:
A. Lead your men in a complex flight pattern, moving like a shadow in the sky.
B. Survey the spire, your centuries of battle experience may give you an edge over the Mon'Keigh
