Oki, despite the title this isn't gonna be a major massive civil war which will lead to me either being taken over by a foreign power or being utterly destroyed, instead this war'll focus on a vicious cult in the service of the Imperial Pyskers.

Oki, the Imperials Psykers have implants which simulate the brain patterns of a Psyker who's really cooly named Alpha, Alpha is far too strong to be used in battle as a psyker cos he would likely attract the attention of the Chaos, he currently resides in a Psychic dampening chamber only barely able to connect to the Warp, i'm gonna have him escape and begin to convert the local Psyker population to Chaos as well as other lesser powered civilians.

So if your nation is Warp attuned (looks at Chronosia) or if you just have a want to kick some arse then you've got a reason to join right here, so... sides....

Cult of the 8 Pointed Eyes

Leader: Sorceror Champion Magus Alpha

Amazonian Beasts
Chronosia
(Emperor Pudu)

Combined Regiments of the Grand Pensionaryand of the Imperial Senate and of the Imperial Navy (CRGPISIN)

Leader: Grand Pensionary Icharus Pax

Ghost Tigers Rise
Azaha
The Solarin League
The Ctan

right well, please don't destroy me just yet, i've only just started FT and i'd like to carry on for at least a month before I get my arse kicked.

Bump man, bump man,
does whatever, a bump can

If i wasn't committed to the Huntearian civil war, I would join.

Well if it helps, this won't be huge mega world crushing civil war, more of a rebellion, but at least ye tried.

well you were in the first huntearian civil war right?

I'll join on the side of good. Well, at least, not Chaos.

Hey I'm a good guy in FT!!!

I take offense to that :P

I wasn't really dissing you, I was just commenting on the moral ambiguity of the Imperium... and every non-chaos race in 40K.

True, and I was joking dude, I never take much seriously otherwise I'd be one depressing sod, anywho's, only a small chunk of my inspiration came from WH40K, most was from Starship Troopers, Aliens and other such Sci-Fi classics as well as 40K, this means that although I'm weak in powerful weapons (and in numerical support) I can utilise specialist armies to even the playing field.

You have specialist armies...

And I have Adeptus Astartes. :D


Anyways, my nation is largely based on the Imperium of Man, but it also has elements from Wing Commander's Terran Confederacy and Kilrathi Empire, the Skaven from WH, and the Helghast/Protect-Gears from Killzone/the Kerberos Saga.

Oh almost forgot, the Dutch Colonial empire at it's height (ie 1664)

I only know the Imperium and the Skaven, all the rest are just blanks on me.

Like carrion birds to a fresh meal, so shall flock the forces of the True Gods. Perhaps I'll send the prophets of the Gods, the Ascendant Daemons. Or the sorcerous acolytes of Severino and the Black Fist....

I was somehow expecting this to happen :P :O Maybe I'm a Psyker!!!

I think Grand Master Azmon will have to send a strike team of his Grey Knights, and of course a retuine of Imperial Stormtroopers to fight the eternal enemy.

Heh, I was about to ask on what side, then I realised you were packing Grey Knights, nice choice by the way, the most irritating unit for Chaos players :P

I guess I could send a few people. My nation isn't the get-involved-in-giant-war-types, it mainly has a few super-specialist soldiers. I also represent a much larger nation whose name I'd like to keep concealed at this time.

My force of choice for TT.

Having decided who to use, I'm sure the Dark Apostles of the Ascendant Daemons will be happy to face the purebred lapdogs of the False Emperor

To Purge the unclean, the mutant, the heretic.

To educate the fools who follow the False Emperor and his delusions of godhood...And to venerate the True Gods, and the True Emperor!

Talking about the Imperial forces, I see?

I may be interested in playing around with my latest venture into FT here...

A few weeks ago it seemed like there were pages upon pages of future-tech stuff littering the forum, now, when I need a good RP, I have to go off and actually try to find it...

In any case, I've recently made a major decision, completely reworking the deeper truth of my Imperium, and although not a lot of it will shine through here, I'd much like to try.

(Chronosia, re-read my entry into the "Lords of Chaos", much better, me thinks. I've changed the shape of my Imperium...)

*wanders in with a Terran Fleet, looks around* So... Who do I kill? Chaos, my foes, allies, foes, and ambiguous associates, or law, my allies, enemies, allies, and ambiguous associates? Correct answer is... Law. Just a few Knights seems unfair. Especially when you take into consideration the fact that Chaos doesn't tend to make a good trading partner. So, I guess Raynor's Raiders appear once more.

which side man?

also TSL accepted.

As time goes on it will become clearer, although for simplicity's sake, just say I'm fighting the Cult of Eight.

This will be a complicated involvement on my part...

The blow post was addressed to you

Diplomatic Message from Grand Admiral Tatyana Brukov

Unknown vessel, your presence in Toopoxia space is welcomed, we are currently suffering from a pox of the warp which has infested itself upon one of our cities, of this we are sure you are already informed due to the words in your message, you have permission to land in the New Volitaia Province only, we may consider further military access if this situation intensifies.

Pudu accepted...

Ostensibly as forces of Order.

And I'll try not to go all 'Giants in the playground' I suspect Chronosia will too.

Course. I'll just be sending a small strike force, centered around my Dark Apostle. A kill-team, of sorts.

Btw, C'tan, I'm really sorry for neglecting Knights. I'll post later tonight ;)

I'm having total writer's block on how to follow-up on my last post atm.
I'll give assurance that I'll have a post up by tomorrow-tonight I'm occupied.

Toopoxia,

I am interested in joining, but I know nothing about the Cult of the 8 Pointed Eyes or the Combined Regiments of the Grand Pensionary and of the Imperial Senate and of the Imperial Navy. In fact, I'm not certain what a Pensionary is.

Could you give me a bit more IC information about what's happening and why various planets would want to send soldiers? The Kesshii aren't really ones to try to join other's acronyms.

However, they might be 'Warp Attuned' depending on what that means to you.

Okay, well a brief history on my nation, it started off as a Monarchy which had colonised the homeworld from Earth, but after some time the natives got angry and rebelled, due to the planets size the rebellion was fought in so many theatres that the Monarchy couldn't control it, and so it was split into 9 areas of combat each with an overseeing Supreme Governor who fought for the King, the rebellion ended and the King was replaced by a far more democratic system with a general promoted to the title of Grand Pensionary by the elected Senate.

The Imperial Navy is simply the spaceborne branch of the Toopoxican Empire, it takes its orders from the Grand Pensionary just like any other Toopoxican Province, the Cult of the 8 Pointed Eyes is just what Alpha calls his followers and his Demon army, it's in reference to the 8 Pointed star of Chaos and the third eye of Tzeentch, the Combined Regiments of the Grand Pensionary are the militaries of the 9 Provinces who have been placed under the immediate control of the Grand Pensionary in guidance with the Tyran protocol which allows for the Grand Pensionaries dominance over the 9 provinces in an emergency, as for why you would want to send soldiers, this is a huge rift in the warp, you'd only need a little focus in the warp to be able to detect the release of Alpha

Toop: The City of Idria - is it coastal? And if so, have the rebels anticipated attack from the sea? I ask because the IoM and presumably its NS derivatives doesn't really do that much, and it'd be a neat way of showing off the Silver Dragons'... special characteristics if they were to attack from the sea.

Not that they're really numerous enough to break a seige no matter how fast and hard they hit; they'll try to hit any staging posts, supply dumps and camps outside the city first, as soon as they arrive in orbit, with orbital bombardment (So that they can actually get to the sea...), drop pods and Thunderhawks, in order to try and upset the enemy's impetus during the attack on the city and give the defenders time to repulse the attack.

Well the city has pretty much fallen, it's about 400 against 20 right now and that's likely to drastically change soon, it's inland, middle of the desert style, but it does flow nearby a river and has a forest to the South, at the moment I'm having two Companies march towards the city and the Imperial Navy has the city in its sights.

Guess I'll just have to wait for a more opportune moment then.

Did they also consider an airborne insertion behind the lines? I can drop a Vulture company in the enemy rear, with Wraith support. Should make a very pretty distraction. And give people time to deploy things in a manner not guaranteed to result in near suicidal clashes with a more numerous foe.(assuming these rebels are, yaknow, armed, or have Daemonic assistance)

EDIT: Oh...

I wouldn't mind sending, say, a regiment from my ground forces. They're utterly untarnished humans, and, when you get right down to it, probably susceptible to the taint of Chaos. We're currently dealing with a cultist problem of our own, so we can certainly appreciate your problems.

Let's say, a single regiment (regiment being a unit of 100 men) with a few pieces of artillery and anti-armor weaponry attached. Would that be fine?

yeah sure, guessing ye're on the forces of the Pensionary.

To all those wanting to take on the city, sorry if it wern't much fun having it fall so soon but I wanted to have the Cult become a problem rather than a nuisance, gonna be gone for a while now, I've been drawn into temptation by sci fi literature, damns yous Wells!!!

May I put in a suggestion?

There seems to be more than enough people now. Anymore and its looking like its going to get very crowded, mroeso than it already is.

yes, as of now we're not looking for more members.

Wootlecakes! In at the last minute. Oh, and as TSL so kindly reminded me, the term is 'company', not 'regiment'. My bad. The regiment is the bigger one. Or something.

Squad, Platoon, Company, Battalion, Regiment, Brigade(if you have one), Division, Corps, Army Group, Army. I knew that off the top of my head. ph34r.

Hey, all that does depend on what one particular orgninization calls its levels or how one is organized. Some other common trains may go as such;

Team, Squad, Platoon, Company, Battalion, Brigade, Division, Corps, Army.

Or, like it seems the Imperial Guard will progress,

Squad, Platoon, Company, and then there is really no progression I've seen in the fluff, all up to a Regiment level that will be the equal of a small Division or large Brigade, based on how you number it.

In many cases the word Regiment is used as an alternative to another level, like Battalion and Brigade, used alot by artillery and cavalry orginizations. The RL British Army uses Regiment in two seperate meanings, for example. However, sometimes, like you said, it is the thing between Battalion and Brigade.

There are also some extra orginizations that are outside of the usual rankings, like Battlegroup in the British Army (again with the Brits...)

The word Section can also be used as an alternative to Squad, in some cases.


"I knew that off the top of my head. ph34r." lol.

You mean like the USMC? I'm reasonably certain they haven't had Regiments for a long time, and that the US Army did away with the Regiment post-WWII. I stick to the old form because I actually have use for a stand in between Brigade and Battalion.

You're confused... The US Army still uses the term 'Regiment', as well as 'Squadron', to deal with Brigade and Battalion sized armored cavalry forces, respectivly.

As for the Marine Corps, they too use the term Regiment, to replace the term Brigade.

Seems this is going to be quite interesting, Pudu. Already we can see the differences in the Inquisitors' techniques.

I ran out of names when naming the Lieutenant, so there are two Jaichus's

Governor Supreme Jaichus Brave of New Volitaia
Lieutenant Jaichus Julii of the 75th Imperial Guard Regiment

dunno what ye mean about reading the documents, he should be right now locked up in the brig of New Volitaia, he walked off in a bad mood from your Inquisitor and left you in the hands of the Anti Psyker Regiment.

Chronosia: In case you're wondering, the Flame is a strike cruiser of an advanced model similar to the Grey Knights one, but bronze, and with the big Inquisition Icon removed.

How's the Apostle planning to get there?

He's going to head down to the planet with his men, to try and contact Alpha. He's not planning on heading for your vessel, just distracting it for now

Btw I did attack you in the post before my last one Toop

Sorry dude, besides it's pretty near end if not too far from the begining to catch up, however I have plenty of ideas floating about in my head so i'll no doubt have another thread like this a in a month or two.

Okay, so, just out of curiosity... Just where are my ground forces at? I know they're at some spaceport in New Volitaia, I have no idea where in the city that is.

And where are the Chaos forces at, relative to me?

EDIT: Someone should make a map. Would make things much easier...

I should make a map yes, trouble is whenver I make maps of planets it always comes out like absolute shit, imagine it like North Africa, New Volitaia is on the Eastern side of the Red Sea in the North.

Brief description on Toopoxican hive cities, they're like giant cylinders with a bustling slums at the bottom, residential a little higher than that, governmental in the midle and spaceports at the very top, New Volitaia is a little different, anticipating an arial attack all the Governmental stuff is at the bottom the Residential is in the middle and the Spaceports are at the top, however the ports are rather crowded and sending radio messages is a little difficult due to the mess of radio transmissions in the area.

*Kicks Chronosia*

Boarding torpedo. Has it hit yet?

It may hit, good sir, at your discretion

A general FYI:

I thought I could get pretty involved in this thread, but the SW thread with Dastardly and DMG, along with IRL stuff and SYAE, has gotten me pretty involved (besides the fact that I wanted to incorporate Chaos into my Sith regime, and had no idea how to do that).

That being said:

I'm willing to trade my slot for anyone who'd like to replace me on the Chaos side who's not in the thread already.

Sorry, but I think I'm going to drop out of this RP. I have no idea WTF is going on or where anyone is at, including my own soldiers.

Maybe next time, Toops.

Or we could just not respond to me... That's cool too...

Alright, I'm lost, gone, and out. Maybe next time, then.

yeah this RP has died, Pudu, last post you did made it seem like you were waiting patiently for my next RP, in so far as I know I did nothing which left your guys out, the enemies were present at New Volitaia, I was kinda expecting ye to take initiative and either retreat ready for the attack or move out to attack.

Awww...:(
