NationStates Jolt Archive

Hey guys,
I know that there are plenty of 40k fans out there, especially on NationStates, but I have yet to see any battles or wars occur on the forums. Because of this, I've decided to start this thread to see if there was any interest in participating in one.

It's basically a 40K battle royal, with all the factions fighting for control over a planet (Name and terrain to be determined later.) You are free to choose whichever race you'd like, and self-created Chapters, Legions, Clans, Sept Worlds, etc. are welcome. There is also no limit on what equipment, vehicles, soldiers, and creatures you may use, just as long as it's from the 40K universe.

If there is enough interest, I may create an offsite Warhammer 40k that will bring it up from the planetary level to the entire galaxy, allowing a greater depth of strategy, diplomacy, and planet-wide conquest. As for this war, it will be solely on NS.


All you have to do is fill out he following:

Hi, I'm Chronosia. You obviously haven't been looking very hard XD

An interesting idea, though honestly I prefer to stick to a semblence of a main NS-canon, and not take part in little side jaunts out of it. The fact that I RP Chronosia, The Chronosian Imperium, as 40k Chaos, makes it easier :D

If there is any interest in the war, it will be solely on NS forums.

You misunderstand my point. I meant that this is simply a sideline diversion, it's not taking place in the great and sprawling main canon of NS, where our nations clash and fray. I might be tempted to take a look in, mind. As Chaos, obviously. Word Bearers or Emperor's Children likely.

Ok. I knew what you meant, I jsut put that out because I realized I forgot to include it in my first post, and for some reason it won't let me edit my first post.

Well that was kind of a flop. Guess no one's interested.

OOC: You shouldn't give up so soon. Most WH40K threads have a good amount of people.


NS Name: Volzgrad
Race: Imperial Guard
Group Name(Clan, Chapter, etc): 44th Stavinvasti Rifles
Extra Information: Stavinvast, like most worlds in its system, is a very inhospitable ice world. However, unlike most ice worlds, Stavinvast has a massive population. Thus, it is only understandable that regiments raised on Stavinvast are excellent in both sub-zero and attrition warfare. Few regiments in the Imperium are better then the 44th Stavinvasti Rifles in Arctic Attrition warfare.

Easily recognizable in their large khaki and white greatcoats, the 44th brings both dread and awe to all enemies of the Emperor. Using a combination of heavy artillery barrages and infantry charges, the 44th Stavinvasti Rifles are the hammer of the Imperial Guard.

You already know I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum in the name of the Emperor!

NS Name: Emperatium Drakonicum
Race: Imperial Guard
Group Name: The 41rst Imperial Warhawk "Suicide" Jumptroop Regiment
Extra Information The countenance and grandeur of the Imperial Hive city towering over the idyllic life of subdued nature on the planet of Corhoni makes for a great lifestyle for the people who live there. Its population is huge, but well controlled by the diligence of its governing staff. It raises some of the finest Imperial Guard Regiments in the entire area, and it is a tradition that is unlikely to end. These Guardsmen are disciplined, well armed, and equipped with keen minds to see through their duty to the Emperor. They drop from the skies, as the ground glows from the fury of the Emperor's Mighty Orbital Bombardment. They hit the ground with the bodies of their foes piled about their feet as their guns rave defiance at His enemies. The song of unseathed bayonets is the last thing thier foes hear before formations of Warhawks present a phalanx of blades. Heavy Weapons roar and shred their foes. Even as they are dropping, armored formations smash in from the front as their brothers fight from the skies. They are truly one of the most professional fighting forces the Imperium can provide.

OOC: LOL at the epic Duke Nukem reference.

Don't got a lot of time right now, just wanna say I am interested and if I join I'll play either Tau of Necrons. Great idea to set this up, btw. More coming later.

NS Name: Telros
Race: Space Marine
Group Name: Thunder Hawks Chapter
Extra Information: The Thunder Hawk Chapter is relatively new in that it has arisen in the last couple centuries but it has proven itself with its fierce battle precision and a love for close combat. It's armor is a dark black with bright orange streaks on it. They are devoted to the the Emperor and the Imperium, safeguarding His will, His People and Servants, and His holy dream. The world hosting their Fortress Monastery is Althair IV and it is heavily guarded. It is well-known for having several temples built to the Emperor, where the local population flocks.

Or, you could just play the game. Like I said with your End war attempt. I don't care which game, the table top, Dawn of war and its expansions, ect, ect.

NS Name: Is this really necessary?
Race: Imperials
Group Name: 11th Scrye Mechanized
Extra Information: A force comprised of Chimera-mounted Infantry, Leman Russ Tanks, and Basilisk Heavy Artillery. Exellent at holding defenses, by digging in their infantry carriers and tanks. When Dismounted, the infantry are double-trained as engineers, due to the long supply lines needed.

They look like the Reds from Gone with the Blastwave, but with Brown helmets.

OOC: Can we use forge world vehicles?

OOC: Don't hog the Tau, they're my favorites... :(

NS Name: Angenteria
Race: Tau Empire
Group Name(Clan, Chapter, etc): Ren'ka
Extra Information: Acquired in the Second Phase expansion undertaken by the Tau Empire, the fire warriors of Ren'ka, distinguishable by their grey armor, have proven themselves time and again against both the Imperial invaders, and the horrors of the Tyranid hive fleets, partly due to their expertise in urban warfare and tactics. Now lead by their newest commander, Shas'o Tirel, they stand ready to prove themselves again.


I'll post my second choice if I'm not allowed to be Tau.

He's specifically reserved Tau, be eldar, or something. But not IG/SM, we have a ton.

I would've joined as Chaos, but it looks like you've already got one.

If you want them so badly I'll just be necrons

The more the merrier. Better to smite the Imperial filth, lapdogs of the False Emperor all

Ok then! I'll take the role of the Black Legion.

NS Name: Err... Look to the left silly.
Race: Chaos
Group Name: The Black Legion
Extra Information: Led by the notorious Abaddon The Despoiler, the Black legion are famed for being the best tactitians in the Chaos Legions. They bear jet black armour, and are one of the few legions still to have a large force of Terminator troopers, armed with the most deadly of weaponary. Abaddon has a personal Terminator Bodyguard, and bears the demon sword Drach'nyen, which can rend apart the very fabric of reality.

If you want them so badly I'll just be necrons.

I wasn't talking about you, Greywatch, I meant Falkasia.

Edit: That's better.


Does anyone know how the imperial guard lands it's troops? I mean the realistic way, not the "Oh, i just flew down some supplies and built a barracks and magically trained them"

Calm down, buddy. I just spelled it wrong.

Besides, gay means happy. :D

I edited that.


Happywatch?

Edit: That's better.

Landers. Troop Landers.

And Ang Gave the best answer.

I suppose I can just crawl out of the ground if I'm the necrons.

Oh yeah, I'm a lorefiend. Novels and background books up the wazoo

Read Ciaphas Cain?

Oh, they use giant troopships up in space that hold like 3 or 4 regiments each. Then they load the landing craft.

Unhhhh! Must Get...Flesh...So...Can....be....fashionable. -Necron Woman.

I'm killing Kirav right now, making him conciously consider EVERY SINGLE minor detail of his nation, so i can roleplay as a citizen of his country.

Oh, sorry I wasn't able to get back to you guys sooner. You are free to pick any race you want, including Tau. As for the other sign-ups, you're accepted. IG lands their troops usually by Valkyrie.

I know much of the WH40K universe, but I'm not a novel reader.

Troop landers, according to the loreweenies.

I mean, if you think about it, valkyries are for storm troopers to take over a landing zone, so the regular infantry and heavy weapons can land.

A little respect wouldn't kill you :P

LoreMASTERS.

Or a necron flayer rather

A little respect wouldn't kill you :P

It would if you were in the Chaos Army. :D

Anyways, i'm off to bed. I'll check in again tomorrow, after I finish work.

I like Loremasters better.

LoreMASTERS.

Atta boy :P

You guys think we should do this offsite? I do.

You guys think we should do this offsite? I do.

I thought we were doing this offsite

I thought he said either 1 planet or a large offsite, not sure though.

Doesn't matter really.

Don't know. Still deciding.

I may do the war on Jolt with the possibility of doing it offsite to allow a broader spectrum of RP.

Chronosia, are you playing Chaos?

Faction: Chaos Space Marines
Group Name(Clan, Chapter, etc): The Word Bearers Legion
Extra Information: The most fervant and devout servants of Chaos Undivided, the children of divine Lorgar, the Word Bearers are responsible for fanning the flames of blasphemous faith and raising cults throughout the Imperium. Relying on their thronging cult troops and the ability to summon daemons forth from the Immaterium, they stand ready to tear down the edifices of the False Emperor that they might bring the true Word.

Dark Apostle Ecanus leads forth these worthy sons of the Word, the Host of the Blinded Eye. He has led his worthy battle-brothers through countless campaigns of vengeance and conversion against the lapdog servants of the Corpse God, and hungers to strike yet another blow for his glorious Masters in the Warp, and to honor Lorgar as he reigns from Sicarius.

Ok. You guys were posting so much there, you kinda overwhelmed me, lol!

NS Name: Void Templar
Race: Heretic Imperial Guard *chaos*
Group Name(Clan, Chapter, etc): 8th Karasi Blackadder regiment.
Extra Information: The Blackadders are an mechanized division from Karasi. Turning the planet wide chaos rebellion (which was caused by a genestealer infiltration), they were one of the first regiments to fall to the allure of Chaos. They have caused havoc on the planet ever since, artillery exchanging shots almost continuously with that of the 117th Eagles. Their badge is a white snake wrapped around the eye of Horus. They use a large number of Executioner variant tanks, with few anti tank vehicles. Their chosen chaos god is Tzeentch. They are lead by the Chaos Sorceror Asmoday (http://www.thehordesofchaos.com/Images/sorcerer.jpg).
(((Edited to my Traitor Guard)))

if he gets railguns, the rest of us get marauders.

Everything is fine, except the Tau equipment. Even a small transgression with the Xenos would be punished by the Emperor.

Well, his servants, the emperor is a rotten corpse in a chair, or so it seems to me, someone who got battle for macragge and never used it.

Yea, good point, The Inquistors would punish him.

You got Battle for Macragge and never used it? Blasphemy!

Yea, good point, The Inquistors would punish him.

I'm not sure about this as I dont have the Tau codex on hand (I collect Tau and IG but I haven't played recently so I'm rusty at my knowledge) but I'm sure I remember about border worlds of the Tau empire during one of their expansion spheres (the first one?) trading with the borderworlds of the Terran Empire. But I'll remove it.
But I get Kasrkin.
Awwwww yeah.
:p

I got Macragge, and I cut off all the space marine heads and mounted them on my Tau's commanders base. Hee hee.

Yes. The Tau would trade with the borderworlds, but only if the borderworlds defected to the Tau Empire.

Can we use forge-world vehicle patterns? And perhaps aircraft?

The Tau only help humans that they assimilate, Those humans only get regular Lasrifles and light vehicles, but human auxiliaries get pulse rifles.

Yes, ForgeWorld patterns is allowed, as are aircraft. (Please try and keep it balanced though.)

NS Name:Ih8uwannakillu
Race: IG
Group Name(Clan, Chapter, etc): 177th Karasian eagles regiment
Extra Information: Work closly with the 1st Karasi regiment, provideing heavy armor, utalizing the full spectrum of leman russ tanks aswell as the stromblade and baneblade tanks in desperate circumstances . They are lead by Governor Militant Lukas Asmoday.

Yes. The Tau would trade with the borderworlds, but only if the borderworlds defected to the Tau Empire.

Okay, well, I've edited anyway.

Ok, last but not least, are Deathstrike missiles (ICBM's w/ out nuclear warheads, mounted on a chimera chassis, sort of like a scud.) allowed? They're Epic 40k

Hmmm, I'd have to think about that one. Normal artillery is allowed though.

We're getting too many IGs. My poor fire warriors are gonna get their assess kicked if they're all by their lonesome.

Kay, Check the Epic 40k Page and look at it, it's got like a planet and a half range, but i intend to use it for better purposes, BLOWING UP SHIPS IN ORBIT!

Accepted.

You should make a list of everyone who signed up so far, so we can tell who's what.

I have. It's on the first page. Tell me if I've missed anybody.

Ah, didn't see that. My bad.

It's fine. Happens to the best of us.

I was really expecting more SM's.

Yea. Never knew the Guard was so popular.

Well, The IG's DO fit the personality of many NS Players.

"Some troops here, some troops there, Oh! another dead army, i'll just replace it, oh, i can't, darn."

I'll get the war thread set up tommorrow and post a link here.

See you guys tommorrow.

I hope, after that thread ends, you'll move on to a sector or galaxy wide forum RP.

Ahhh, and choas rears its ugly head once more. Well, all the better, let us crush them under our treads brothers! Glory to the God Emperor and present our treads as proof of our diligence!

"AYE! Saddle up 11th! We're headed for Battles Unknown!" -Colonel Arnold Lee, Commander of the Offworld Scrye Mech Forces.

Arrogant Gue'la. We shall put you in your place.

Volzgrad, i was reading the lexicanum (40k Lore Wiki) and it says stalinvast is a dead world, following exterminatus.

STAVINvast not Stalinvast. It's with a "v" not an "l".

Oh, sorry.

Well, at least i bumped the thread a little.

Bump

Also, Anyone know what your forces are comprised of yet? I do, for the most part, provided we get a Firm set of rules (Namely if we can control some aircraft as IG)

Aircraft are fine, just don't field large amounts of them.

As for your other question about possibly going to a sector or galaxy-wide RP Forum after this thread ends, it is very possible. I'm going to see how things turn out here before escalating.

Well, this is odd. We have a couple Tau, two Chaos I think, plenty of IG, and one Space Marine, myself. This is going to be interesting.....

Most Definitely.

Yea, no kidding. Since you're alone, I may give you a slight advantage to help balance things out.

Well, Tau can have Space superiority, provided they don't spam manta landers.

lol. Queue Star Wars music. *Thousands of Mantas descending from the sky* Muahahaha!

lol.

Well, the SM are probably going to be aiding the IG as best as possible, both being Imperium. However, the Space Marines dont have a large navy so....

What navy they have is Ultra-powered, It's not like they have a bunch of Baby ships melt a planet to smithers when chaos is afoot.


Really though, Space Marines do have a ton of baby ships, interspersed with the Battle Barges (Rare) and Strike Cruisers (Uncommon)

So it's basically all the Imperial factions vs everyone else, who're all fighting each other to begin with.

As usual

They have Destroyers, Strike Cruisers, and frigates, which they don't use much. And yeah, they are very powerful. But without IG navy support, they'll get overwhelmed by the Tau and Chaos fleets.

Or if it was a multi-chapter battle.

Yes....but I am the only chapter so far.

What is it with the Imperial Guard? I never liked them. Too weak. Everytime I took them on via tabletop I pwned them. One hail of bolter fire and I took down an entire platoon, sending the rest fleeing. Their tanks fell to my obliterators lascannons, and my khorne berzerkers wiped out the rest.

lol, that's funny.

I'll get the War thread up momentarily. Be advised that the planet is going to be volcanic and desolate. That's all I'm saying for now.

lol, that's funny.

I suppose I am lucky with my dice rolls, but in my opinion, the IG suck.

They do. My neighbor plays them, and even on a bad day, a single FW Team can wipe out close to three platoons of Guardsmen.

My most worthy opponent is my best friend, who fields a Blood Angels army, which I struggle constantly to defeat. We have roughly an equal number of wins and losses. His death company can be a bitch, but Normally I can tie them up with my Khorne Bezerkers, effectively removing them from battle.

Lol. Tied up... and dead.

We're waiting on you, Falk.

Yea, I know. It'll be soon. I just realized I have a Baseball game to go to today at 1, so it'll be up roughly 2 hours after that. Again, my apologies.

Bah, the power of the Imperial Gaurd is not the gaurdsmen but the THIRTEEN LASCANNONS IN A 2,000 POINT GAME. RRRRAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

IG are mainly a Seige and Defense force, they're not really suited to doing most of the standard mobile battles that are played in 40k.

You keep saying that till our Leman Russ squadrons steamroll you.

Epic lol.

I'm an IG too.



Anyone worked out what their forces are made up of?

OH! I call,

NS Name: The United Fleets

Race: Space Marine

Group Name: The Black Templars

Extra Information:

The Black Templars are a Second Founding chapter derived from the Imperial Fists and their Primarch, Rogal Dorn. Their origin can be traced back to the Imperial Fists’ defence of Holy Terra. Since this time, the Black Templars have been on the longest crusade the Imperium has ever known to prove their loyalty to the Emperor.

Accepted! Welcome.

That would be Space marine, Not super human.



Falkasia, why not spend the time you have before the game to make the thread?

I'm leaving in 5 minutes. I'll fil lyou guys in on as much info as I have determined so far to make up for it.

The planet is Dustin IV, an ancient, long abandoned mining colony on the far reaches of the galaxy. The terrain, after milenia of mining, has deteriorated into desolate volcanic wastes and lava flows.

As for an objective, I guess it is to purge the planet of all other armies.

Well on the Race matter, Both IG and SM factions exact races are still human, even the Imperial guard are mostly completely human, aside from some cybernetic upgrades. I said Super Human as thats pretty much what they were, though I would've gone for just Human just as well. When 'Race' Was mentioned I merely thought it meant what it meant. Oh well.

Err... Better idea, new STC Documents have been found by a research team inside the colony, Now, Chaos and Imperial forces are poised to battle over it, however, The system is controlled by the Tau, who own Dustin V, and will battle any large fleets in the system (And destroy any armies)

Oh. Goodie. Well throw balls of lava at those Tau Fire Warriors and their damn Pathfinders.

Sounds fine. much better than my idea.

Were suggesting locals? Lets battle somewhere that hasn't been tried before. I didn't beat The Dark Crusade to RP on a Tau world with a dozen factions again.

Edit: Or did I?

We RP on a Desolate lava planet NEAR a tau world, which is why they got involved.

Tau never really get involved unless they're making a new expansion sphere or are attacked.

Ah, that explains why they always come late to the party on Kronus. By then the Necrons always Pwn them.

But still, desolate lava world, IG's, bring masks.

Heh. Good thing I picked Space Marines. They pretty much have the deal. Power Armour, Chainswords, and Meltas. Oh the Meltas.

Oh, yes, Misfire and burn yourself apart.

I hardly think that would happen.

You'd be suprised what misfires can do (Nuclear missile misfire = explosion in the silo)

I meant I hardly think a misfire would happen in the first place. *Grin*

True, More with plasma weapons than melta weapons

In any case, could one of the lore wee-I mean, Masters, please take a look at the story?

Who, eh? Oh yeah. *Cough*

Notice we only have 3 legit fighting regiments on the IG? The jumptroops are basically light infantry, and the Recon regiment is, well, It's a bunch of scout tracks coupled with some skull droids, probably.

The jumptroops are split in to two parts really. First half drops from the skies, and ruin some shit like a hammer. Bassically Drop Troops doctrine with Close Order drill thrown in there. Meanwhile the Armoured Companies clunk off their landers in a friendly landing zone and become the anvil. Everyone loves being a treadhead. The enemies squished. He can't retreat because he has all these maniacs lighting things on fire and throwing satchel charges everywhere behind him while skewering everything with bayonets that they haven't gunned down. In front they have all sorts of armoured hell playing the 1944 overture on their ribcage.

*sigh* 2 tau v.s 2 Chaos v.s 2 Space Marine & A fuckload of Imperial Guard.

To make it a little more even, could we say that the Space Marines have elected to purge the Imperial Guard as well - due to the taint of Chaos?

Maybe we should have some of the transports get wrecked by some choas raiding parties. They can only land with a handful of the original companies.

Or we could simply force our Space Marine Factions to fight seprately from the IG? I'd rather not gun down Guardsmen. They ARE meat shields as far as I'm concerned. That and I'd rather have their Artillary and Tanks on my side.

Well, we could have 2 seperate continents, with each having strategic objectives, we really need a loreaholic to tell us what'd be good.

I'd love to play.

I was thinking doing an Ordo Hereticus army, at the beginning of reading the thread, but... I'm not sure that would contribute very well to balance. *Inquisitorial smile* Unless a few IG regiments weren't pure...
*coughs* Anyway.

My first preferences would be to do Ordo Hereticus or Necron, followed by Eldar, Chaos, and, hell, even Dark Eldar.
*chuckles* I pretty much like all the armies except Tyranid and Ork.

Anyone else have opinion on which would be best?

EDIT: Oh, and you can consider me a lore-oholic, though I prefer to think of it as a few levels in Loremaster.

Get us a good story, and join chaos, we don't need necrons until we go galactic (No reason to have necrons in a lava world, not good for their tombs.)

We need a lava-world story of some sort, and i'd rather a 3rd level Loremaster writ the tale. (5th level Maximum, no ultra mind-boggling have to read the wiki for 5 hours intros)

The Inquisition's a good idea, but we kinda have too many Imperial Factions as it is.

I'll change to Tau or SM to balance it out, but I don't know much about the Emperor's Finest.

Space Marines are still Imperial. Just become traitor guard. All the good stuff, but with DAEMONS!

Space Marines are still Imperial. Just become traitor guard. All the good stuff, but with DAEMONS!

Eh, may as well. I'll edit it to my traitor regiment.

I wonder, Where do you get all your ammo when your traitor guard? do cultists make it?

*sighs* Too bad Dark Eldar can't be Chaos worshippers...
Can you imagine how powerful an Eldar psyker, with no (well, little) fear of Slaanesh's thirst would be? ... ~Damn~ powerful.

Ok, I'll go Chaos... Either Nurgle or Tzeentch.

This isn't the most original, but...
This is a planet where ancient daemonic artifacts are located, probably left by the Night Lords' Primarch Night Stalker (since they operated on the East part of the galaxy). They were all "asleep" (inactive, whatever) until a strange warpstorm started to form nearby, and is headed to the planet. The closer it gets, the more awaken (and are thus detectable).

Reasons Forces are Here:
Chaos - to salvage the artifacts, and try to enact a dark ritual to create a warptear. (Like the Maelstrom or the Eye of Terror, but smaller) This ritual is basically the reverse of what the Necrons are trying to do at Cadia (close the EoT forever, and thus cut off most psyker power).

Tau - want to study the storm (they loooooove studying the warp, since they know so little of it), hold the planet, kill the badguys (non-Tau), since the world is either on the border of (or an uninhabited world just within) the Tau Empire.

IG - Since the forces of Chaos have doubtless had to wage a mini-war to get here, the IG are probably on a quasi-Crusade, trying to follow them and kill them.
SM - Hey, they're always out there to kill the traitors.

Goals:
Chaos - find artifacts, commence massive and long dark ritual (hold off enemy during so), get lots of sacrifices (deaths on the planet, once they're prepped would probably work)
Tau - guard the Earth Caste as they study the storm, climate threats to the Empire, listen to the orders of the Ethereals (who are the ones who sent them here)
IG/SM - Maim! Kill! Burn! ... Errr... Just kill everyone else. In the Name of the Emperor! (Finish this!) SM especially will want to destroy the daemonic artifacts, though (in their blind faith/fury) might do more harm than good by doing so (see: end of the game Dawn of War)


That's my idea so far. Feel free to rip it to pieces, change it, etc.
If we're going to do a proper war, and probably a off-site forum after that, I would suggest the use of IMs. After all, refreshing a thread while writing a reply can get old. :)

Mine is raparth[at]hotmail[ dot ]com. Take that, harvester-bots! Just add me and tell me you're from the NS WH40k thread (Name Pending).

I wonder, Where do you get all your ammo when your traitor guard? do cultists make it?

Well, my heretic guard controls a number of cities and factories, so they just make their own.
Very handicapable for such bloodthirsty maniacs.

I shall annihilate thee using the powers of Marauder, Lightining, and Vulture! Which you can't have! Because you only have Those two crappy Fighter designs!



(Carpet bombing, if you don't use it, your screwed.)

I just realized how completely random that sounded, Anywaays...

The Lost and the Damned (Traitor IG and other heretics) use both daemonic and mundane weaponry, so most of it is probably made like normal IG's weaponry. Well, minus all the Cult Mechanicus prayer and ritual.

*sighs* Too bad Dark Eldar can't be Chaos worshippers...

Tau - want to study the storm (they loooooove studying the warp, since they know so little of it), hold the planet, kill the badguys (non-Tau), since the world is either on the border of (or an uninhabited world just within) the Tau Empire.

IG - Since the forces of Chaos have doubtless had to wage a mini-war to get here, the IG are probably on a quasi-Crusade, trying to follow them and kill them.
SM - Hey, they're always out there to kill the traitors.

Goals:
Chaos - find artifacts, commence massive and long dark ritual (hold off enemy during so), get lots of sacrifices (deaths on the planet, once they're prepped would probably work)
Tau - guard the Earth Caste as they study the storm, climate threats to the Empire, listen to the orders of the Ethereals (who are the ones who sent them here)
IG/SM - Maim! Kill! Burn! ... Errr... Just kill everyone else. In the Name of the Emperor! (Finish this!) SM especially will want to destroy the daemonic artifacts, though (in their blind faith/fury) might do more harm than good by doing so (see: end of the game Dawn of War)

So, are you going to describe kinky, yet vomit inducing Slaaneshi Choas rituals? :)

Part 1: *sighs* Too bad Dark Eldar can't be Chaos worshippers...
Can you imagine how powerful an Eldar psyker, with no (well, little) fear of Slaanesh's thirst would be? ... ~Damn~ powerful.

Ok, I'll go Chaos... Either Nurgle or Tzeentch.

This isn't the most original, but...
This is a planet where ancient daemonic artifacts are located, probably left by the Night Lords' Primarch Night Stalker (since they operated on the East part of the galaxy). They were all "asleep" (inactive, whatever) until a strange warpstorm started to form nearby, and is headed to the planet. The closer it gets, the more awaken (and are thus detectable).

Mmkay, i like his story better. Chaos will likely have come with a sizeable fleet, as will the tau, allowing them to have massive forces.

I'd really like it if we did it on a less-standard planet, Say, a desert world, where artifacts wouldn't MELT.

Daemonic artifacts don't melt... Trust me.
Some, like the famous Lith, for instance, was stored (or lived?) in a massive volcanic chamber. Just over a huge magma lake, actually.
Good thing Eishenhorn killed it.

EDIT: The STC idea is pretty good, but in that case we need someone to be the Cult Mechanicus. After all, they wouldn't let ANYONE touch it but themselves.

I thought that we agreed to Imperials Coming here to Kick Ass and Get STCs.

It would allow a good "excuse" for using Titans... That's how many resources the Adeptus Mechanicus would put on the line for STC.

STC's are great, but i don't think they'd survive being on a volcanic world, nor would the colony itself.

Frankly, volcanic worlds are almost impossible to fight in, due to lava everywhere, Now, if a force, say an air unit like the elysian drop (Parachute) troops, were availible, they'd be perfect for the job, helped by Thunderhawk-mounted space marines.

More to the point, choas would come here to wreck the thing because the Imperials want it. Choas always does it. Damn you Horus, Damn you to the Warp! *Shakes Fist*

EDIT: And my men are jumptroopers. Drop Pods, throwing ourselves off a flying airplane, whatever, we do it all baby.

What sort of world should we have, then?
Anything works easily enough, though I believe IG tend to have a hard time fighting in little-atmosphere environments.

I wonder what Falk's gonna think when he sees that we totally destroyed his idea.

I was having a funny moment.

Ah. I'd only seen masks on Karskin.
Oh, Falk's going to think "For the Greater Good!"
Just... not for the greater good of anyone but you Tau. :-D

I'd love to do battle on a virus-bombed world, and do a big tank battle like the one on tallarn that screwed over the iron warriors.


GOD! RANDOM AGAIN! I must be incredibly bored today.

I wonder what Falk's gonna think when he sees that we totally destroyed his idea.



Guardsman: Can't...breathe... *falls over*

What would I think? I think this is hilarious!

What is the hillarity you are referring to, the joke in the quote, or the screwing up of the idea?

Screwing up my idea.

As for changing the planet, let's make it a Glacial world. That way we go from one extreme to another.

Will that be Wild, Feral, Feudal, Civilized, or Hive? (Wild Is just that, feral is tribal humans, Feudal is middle-ages humans, Civilized is modern imperial, Hive is civilized but everyone lives in massive ultracities.)

Most likely wild. There could have been a reseach team that went and uncovered the Chaos artifact, the Tau may have wanted it as a hidden base, the Guard and Marines are comnig to destroy Chaos.

As for the storyline, Raparthia's wins in my opinion.

Agreed. Make the thread so we can start the madness (I like glacial because we can actually have a base, on volcanic it's...Too dangerous.)

Ok. Getting to it now.

Group Name: Thousand Sons Legion

Let us band together, brethren of Chaos, and extinguish the foul life of the Corpse God!

Corpse god? you mean skeleton god, right? He's long decomposed now.

The Golden Throne feeds the life of thousands of psykers into him daily, which keeps his body half-alive, to my knowledge. I don't think his soul could be retained by mere bones and machinery.

Lol. Everyone's waiting in anticipation.

Also, the Emperor's body is kept physically alive by the golden throne. Technically, though, he's just a corpse. It also keeps him from decomposing.

i'm reviewing data about IG vehicles.

I dont mind whats going to happen on the ground. Whatever happens there is at least going to involve shooting things up and stomping some Chaos with Terminators armed with Chainswords.

But what about space battles? Thats what I'm hopeing for. The Black Templars Battle Barges PWN YOU ALL! *Cough* Sorry.

I didn't 'GET' the first post, but I'm the first to finish my reserve post.

So we don't have to keep constantly refreshing this, does anyone use some sort of IM program?
I use Windows Live Messenger... Add me if you do. (Click the little man under my name)

I use Live as well.

Would the intervention of the Halle Iesu Craftworld be welcome?

Craftworld Eldar themselves, probably, but not the actual craftworld. That thing's bigger then the planet we're attacking (or defending.)

Yah. That's what I meant...

But to talk of, say, US intervention, doesn't mean that the whole bloody country turns up. Apologies for the missconstrusion.

Well...whose to say a huge land mass wont turn up to combat the terrorists all by its self?! :P

I kinda wandered off topic there.

Eldar usually show up when chaos is afoot, as do SM's, the eldar just do it covertly

Okay, seeing as there is an ungodly amount of posts since I last checked, can someone fill me on the situation?

Well, Me, the Black Templars, and Soon the Jump troops, have landed, i assume chaos already has forces on the ground, with more coming, and the Tau have a research base and a incoming fleet.

Make that, the jump troops have thrown themselves off a transport screaming into the atmo at .7C. If there are any xenos on the ground, they are going to have a whole lotta hell comin' on top of their heads.

Looks like Choas and Imperials are dead even now.

Why?
I mean there is already a War Hammer 40k game,
( I play imperial Guard CADIAN'S ALL THE WAY ! )
But playing on the forums?
I'm generally against playing games that already exist directly in real
life.
It would make about as much sense as play Advanced Dungeons and Dragons
( First or second addision only all others are herasy )

I just can't see it,
But a regular war would be cool !

Because you can't RP a campaign. Seriously, it should be obvious.

Edit: I would see your point if we were playing actual 40k over the forums. Except we're not.

I am changing from Space Marine to balance things out a bit.

NS Name: Telros
Race: Chaos Space Marine
Group Name(Clan, Chapter, etc): Alpha Legion
Extra Information: The Alpha Legion, under the Primarch Omegon, has been successful in harrying and hurting the Imperium for some time now. Now, with the call of the dead cultists emanating through the Warp from Dustin V, a detachment of Alpha Legion warriors, under command of Chaos Lord Lethem, they have come through the Warp with a fleet to defeat all enemies, aid their Chaos brethren in their quest to serve Chaos Undivided, and secure the artifact, if not the world.

Space Fleet:

One Despoiler Class Battleship
Two Desolator Class Battleships
Five Goliath Class Cruisers
Three Executor Class Cruisers
Two Retaliator Class Cruisers
Six Iconoclast Destroyers
Five Idolator Class Raiders
Five Infidel Class Raiders

Ok, your changes are confirmed. Let me update. As of this moment, no more changes are allowed!

Any chance of polishing up that map? Scale? Terrain? Needs more. Any more information of the situation in space?

Nope, I'm not really a map maker, so it will have to do for now. Most of the planet is flat, with a few mountains as you approach the coast.

Is the blue representing glaciers?

No, white and snow colors are representing glaciers. The Blue is the ocean surronding it.

I would have put a key on it, but the program I was using wouldn't let me.

I'll claim later, though if you make a mountain, I'd like to claim it.

Comeing to the coast are the mountains i think. My base is built around one with large cliffsides with walls, and then behind that and around it anti air craft and anti armour. Which is why i picked near the coast.

I am in the caverns int he mountain range where Raparth is.

My troops will likely drop straight into the heart of battle.

I don't mean to nitpick, but those few levels I have in Loremaster sometimes supernaturally compel me...
Just so everyone knows, the Tau don't enter the warp for FTL, they sort of... "skim" and "bounce" along the boarder between the Materium and Immaterium. It's generally slower than entering the Warp, but is also safer. It's actually what the Imperium uses for emergency FTL and for non-Navigator-possessing ships. Doubtless, though, the Tau are a great deal better at it than anyone else.
All in all, this probably means the Tau aren't effected by most warp storms, though I'm sure the big "grandfather storms" would negatively effect them, just maybe not as much as the Warp-entering races.

Hope it's not a problem, but I've chosen to drop in on the western coast.

Uh oh....

Guardsman: "INCOMING DROP PODS!"

Colonel: "FIRE THE HYDRAS! LAUNCH THE MANTICORES! LAUNCH FIGHTERS!"

I ahve returned. Modifying map now.

About the map, Falk, you put The Black Templars on the North East coast, I asked for North West coast. Also, We were expect some kind of response from the Tau at the Research station. Or at least I was.
