Fight our battles for us! We have been on crusade for 10,000 Years! You ill diciplined, trigger happy, meat chewing, scruffy necked...The Black Templars, with their superior skills and numbers will destroy the forces of chaos here. Your help will not be required. Go back to Fenris.

Edit: Wonder where Telros is. Cant wait to kick off that space battle. Well that and engage the Black Legion. >:D
Meet my Land Raider Crusaders! We have Meltas on them! Prepare to slip on the melted ice! :P

Falk, youv missed me off the map :S
I said id set up in the middle of the land mass (kinda worrying now), add me onto the map plox?

There hasn't been many IC posts today...

There is already a large crusade force (The allowed and proper amount needed to undertake said crusade) here and opperations of the Black Templar are under way. Further reinforcements are not needed, and any further troops sent would of course quickly be annexed by the Marshall in command. Fear not. The Templars shall handle this.

OOC:

In other words, you cant bring in more Templar as your own Chapter number, as I'm RPing the Templar. The Marshall in charge would take control of your troops if they came, makeing it pointless. I suggest you pick a differant chapter or group. Except the Inquisitors. We dont need them...

Edit:
More OOC:

When are you bringing in the Space Wolves?

Chaos will devour your face...

...Okay...Random.

...Okay...Random.

Indeed. :p

Ok, apologies. Adding everybody to the map now.

One day there's people clammering to join, and now the thread has actually started, the ammount posting has plumeted... *Sigh*

Typical.

Wow, lol. Just noticed that too.

Since yesterday, only myself and the black templars have done anything.

Huh, you aren't kidding. I would post more, but I don't have much time now-adays.

Its been 2 days Falk. Oh and you forgot to add the Black Legion.

Edit: Also, hope this doesn't Die. I searched for other Warhammer RPs, and this is the only one i saw that even kicked off. It would be nice to be apart of a RP till it finished for once to.

Yea, I know it's only been 2 days, but I've still got a lot of days left to go through. I'll add Black Legion once my headache goes away. Again, my apologies.

No rush falk.

Ok, thanks.

No problem. ;)

I don't care if I'm not in full command, I could just have them fight under your command and RP a Castellan and his Fighting Company

Not too late to hop on board is it?If I am correct Hive Fleet Leviathan was utterly destroyed, yet as long as it does not have the UBER numbers of a full sized Hive Fleet there should be no real problem I guess.

Were going to crush those Genestealers under tank treads.

Yea, you're good. Just no consuming the planet yet, lol.

I just hope there aren't enough Tyranids to form a Shadow in the Warp...

What relation does that have with my comment you Space Wolve crazy you?

Tell ya what, I'll drop it down to 1000

Agreed. Keep your decrepit Barges. Their certainly obsolete at this point.

What relation does that have with my comment you Space Wolve crazy you?"His warmachines will crush you under his treads."

Edit: The sooner you learn I am insane the sooner you will become insane with me.

Tell ya what, I'll drop it down to 1000That will take the fun out of having to combine our forces in order to defeat you.:wink:

STOP IT YOU CRAZY WOLVE! No no no! Will take the deal, drop it to 1,000!

*Summons an army the size of the whole of the United Fleets.*

Ahh don't worry there shall be no consuming the planet... Yet. :p

And as for crushing my Genestealers beneath your tank treads? I'll just have to crush your men beneath my Carnifex!

Then I'll smush your Carnifex under a Imperator Titan! And I KNOW you cant beat that.

Oh, call on me please!

*Answers Without Reply*

Go get The Red Terror!

Please folks, I already said. This RP ISN'T about winning! We're here to write a good piece of fiction. I fully expect to be crushed under Space Marine tank tracks, but I intend to do so in a descriptive and enjoyable way.

It's about having fun, not desperately trying to twist the story so you win. That implies arrogance.

Ahh it's all good! Even if I get wiped out I can always pop up again as Orks or Eldar etc... So fun fun fun all round really! :)

ok, im not an expert on the 40k universe, waaaaaaaayh far off from it, but wouldnt every one switch thier fire to the 'nids? afterall they do kinda want to kill everything.

I apologize for my absence, some serious shit went down at work that took a couple days to resolve. What;s been happening? And are we already having struggles with people trying to 'win'?

Ih8uwannakillu:

Well it depends, I mean the guard probably would switch fire on the 'nids, but the Space Marines and Chaos are more likely to try and kill each other, after all ten thousand years of hatred doesnt go away because a newer scarier enemy appears. Especially considering that we have Black Templar's involved, they take their duty to the Emperor VERY seriously.

No human who bends knee to the False Emperor, who pisses away their faith to the rancid Corpse-God shall be spared the wrath of the truly faithful, the truly blessed.

Your rotting, and by blessed you mean tainted. Learn this Chaos Marine, the sooner you understand that I will never concede this shouting match to you (Marines are VERY good shouters...) The sooner we can move on, have a cup of coffe, and tear each others throats out on the battle field.

As for this winning, I never really intended to win, figureing, I'd end up haveing a few good fights, but then have to mostly ride on the underbelly of a differant chapter, or the guard. They usualy bring more crap then Space Marines, so go figure. I never really intended to win, much less, I Intended to take out a least one chaos leader, then go down swinging against everything else. Might as well make that one leader Abaddon.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but I expect if the battle turns sour Abaddon will simply flee back into the warp. :D

Besides I expect to be screwed over by everyone, even my own Chaos Allies. They're funny like that.

Pfft. Same thing...Look I'll take what I can get. *Chirp Chirp* *Scowl*

Do your worst Joker!

Oops! Sorry wrong program. :D

...That...what ever it was...was strange and disturbing...Bravo! :P

Thank you.

Anyways, for all you Templar fans out there, we just released our new album! Not really, but the songs kick ass.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFLm3FHCGuk

Edit: Damn that gets you in the mood to kick someones jaw in.

That song is AWESOME.

And it pretty much says Black Templar all over it.

I've actually been looking into 40k lore. I have come to the conclusion that the Chaos gods CAN be destroyed, simply by destroying all belief in them, in other words, doing what the Space marines are doing. Purging anyone who has any contact with chaos.

Navy, They have been at that for 10,000 years. It doesnt seem to be working.

Well they won't get anywhere until they finally gather the courage to risk an all out invasion of the Eye of terror. Victory would mean the end of Chaos. Defeat would mean the end of man. The risk must be made for victory.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3hRCchGJzs&feature=related

For some reason, I can't stream that song you just posted.

OK I have a plan for if my Chaos forces get destroyed. How would everyone feel about me RP'ing as an Imperial Assassin? And which assassin do you think would be appropriate?

That song is VTs national anthem, simply because my race (the dragona) and templars dont get on like a house on fire, were more painful.

Incidently VTs brother left his laptop charger in Ireland so he cant be active 4 a bit yet. stoopid chave s and thier .... *mutter mumble*

Ih8u heres those stats for you:


1 Hive Tyrant with 3 Tyrant guard

1 Broodlord with 11 Genestealers

84 Hormagaunts

52 Spinegaunts

52 Termagaunts outfitted with Spike Rifles

52 Termagaunts outfitted with Flesh borers

30 Ripper Swarms

18 Raveners outfitted with Devourers.

32 Gargoyles in the air so far with Fleshborers and Bio-plasma.

37 Tyranid Warriors with Devourers and Rending claws

6 Carnifex

1 Harridan with a single clutch of 8 Gargoyles


And the Lexicanum article is Here (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Tyranid)

52 Termagaunts

52 Termagaunts outfitted with Flesh borers



So im asumeing that just means the termagaunts are all equped with flesh borers, not 52 with and 52 without flesh borers.

Thx for the info :)

Ah good point there, I meant to say that they were outfitted with Spike Rifles :p

btw, are we allowed to call in orbital strikes? if we are im assuming it cant be used ecessivly?

Vindicare Assassian?

yep vindicare assasins

I think its 'Assassin'. I dont think you can spell it any other way...or can you?

Sounds suitible. With Tyranids attacking my fleet, and templars assaulting my base, it's not looking like i'll last long anyway.

What about an Eversor Assassin? They could use their psychic abilities to disrupt the Hive-Mind.

So might play without any worry can you add me to to the Space Marines?

The Scandinvans-Space Wolves

Sure. Consider yourself added.

Well -- seeing as how I've had no reply to my Grey Knights request or that of the Ordos. I'll try something different.

Space Marines - Ultramarines

Sure. Consider yourself added.Thank you very much.

Glad to help.

Muhahahaha- Um...Hey Imperial Navy, how about posting about the battle thats erm...destroying your forces with glee? Also, Trying to get in on some of that Tyranid battle action. Hope we dont all die! :P

Is this still open?

You bet.

Alrighty then. I'll do it as soon as I decide whether I want to be Space Marine or Chaos, as from what I saw on the OP, theres a lack of both.

Scratch that, checked again, too much Chaos, I'll be Space Marines. So, I'll do it when I decide on a Chapter.

Ok. Take your time. Oh, and feel free to post.

After serving Khorne for nearly a millenium, they suddenly turned on their Chaos Brethren of the Word Bearers during a battle with the Blood Angels. After the battle, the leader of the Chapter contacted the leader of that particular Blood Angel company, telling him he and his Chapter wished to return to the Imperium. With great relunctancy the Blood Angel agreed. So even though they now fight again for the Emperor, they are highly mistrusted by others, especielly since they still fight with the same unbridled ferocity as when they worshipped the Blood God.


Hows this?

Ok. Take your time. Oh, and feel free to post.

Sry about not posting yet but... I've actually been trying to figure out what to come in with. From what I've read, Necron ships are practically impossible to destroy. Should I just appear on the planet to keep things simple? Like the Necrons would if it were a tombworld?

The Idianna-iarstill battlegroup, in typical Eldar style, focuses on speed and striking power, intending to withdraw before effective countermeasures can be executed. In this, Halle Iesu have few peers.

Sure. Have fun posting, lol!

Sorry I've been gone. I've been at work all weekend.

Yea, tell me about it, lol!

The Strike Cruiser Fist of Sigismund is holding above the planet, awaiting landing coordinates. Please respond, ASAP. Our Battle Brothers are eager for war.

Caltha, have you signed up yet?

I did, but I want to be Black Templars, as they are my army(Meaning I play them RL, not that I should get them and no one else...) and I really enjoy them, but United Fleets said I shouldn't, so I just wanted a ruling.

Army is a single Strike Cruiser, infantry and light armor, so a fighting company, a Dreadnought or two, some transports and lots of bikes. Nothing showy, just a ship that travels with other Crusades, dropping in and out as their abilities allow.

I don't see why not, but United Fleets claimed the Templars, so you'd need to run it by him.

falk youv ignored my question

Personally Ih8u I think we should avoid Orbital Bombardments, taking a step aside from my position as a player I feel as though allowing people to begin bombarding the surface of the planet is opening a whole can of worms we shouldnt even be considering. What's to stop the next player from just using an Orbital Bombardment to solve a problem rather than working around it and coming up with an innovative solution? The same problem exists with MT roleplays around here, once that first nuke has been launched more times than not its easier for the rest of the players to fall back on them more and more often rather than roleplaying their forces properly.

But thats just my two pennies worth, at the end of the day it's up to Falk, after all it's his RP.

Every ship in orbit is going to be way too busy to do anything but drop every piece of ground equipment they have and get to fighting.

Limited Orbital Bombardment. The only time you may use it is against overwhelming enemy odds.

That sounds fair. Also Caltha, I changed my mind dozens of times about it. I just thought it might be complicated, but I suppose we could make it so that everyones so busy that they cant really bother keeping CLOSE tabs on every cruisers forces. Okay. Your one of the 12 Strike Cruisers in my fleet. In fact, now that theres not going to be much orbital bombardment (Not enough to destroy my forces at least) I suggest you also get in on some of that Tyranid action. Not likely to run out of those anytime soon.

Or other wise, you could just land your party and join in on the strike I'm prepareing against the Tau...OR you could drop in to see the last of that Black Legion VS Templar battle. But that ones almost over. We got our guys rolling right over those chaps. If it gets to complicated...well will see I guess.

EDIT: Looked at that list. Umm...I don't think were playing a game of Warhammer 40K over the Internet. In fact, were kinda just roleplaying our factions. So...you don't need to mention the points, or use the 'round system'. Otherwise, if thats all the units you really want (There are tons of enemys down there...and I don't think there going by the regular game rules.) then cool. Go ahead and post. Ahem. On my way now.

The points thing was just to show how powerful it is, 2) This is the landing party. Heavier forces are being held back until Castellan Seir can figure out how best to deploy his forces.

My thanks, Marshal. For the Emperor.

Don't worry folks, i'm not quitting, I just decided it would be easier to play and Imperial Assassin. Thought I'd let you know what I plan:

-Only the Space Marines on planet will know that I am there

-I will be acting under orders issued by the Grey Knights

-My character is on a mission to either recover or destroy the Chaos artifact

-I will likely fire on Imperial Guardsmen as I will judge them to be tainted by chaos

even if we are fighting the enimys of the impieriam and not fighting the imperium?
All thoe i supose i can see where your comeing from, the guardsmen are very vulnerable but surly an entire (how ever the hell you spell it)

In every story I've read, when Chaos is involved the Space Marines will purge anyone involved to remove any possible taint.

Yea, if you just appeard on the planet, it woudl explain why it's so barren, lol.

lol, okay then. I guess I'll just do that assuming everyone's okay with it. And I'll be able to avoid messy orbital warfare.

Quick Question Falkasia, is there any problem with me deploying a Hierophant to my landing zone to help clear it?

By the by I am justing waiting for the right moment to attack.

Quick Question Falkasia, is there any problem with me deploying a Hierophant to my landing zone to help clear it?

I have no problem with it.

Oh, and Ih8uwannakillu, the timescale on which you built your base was incredibly unrealistic, unless of course you had every single soldier work on it.

Ta Falk, and hey if one doesn't do the trick I can always deploy more ;)

Yea, lol.

In every story I've read, when Chaos is involved the Space Marines will purge anyone involved to remove any possible taint.Yay an order Exterminatus may be started.:p

As more of the initial forces were whittled away by the incoming fire one Spore, even more massive than the rest screamed towards the earth behind the Imperials lines. It span gently as it free fell downwards, it's purple and white skin and carapace pulsed slightly with veins as the light caught it. And then with an earth shattering boom that cast up a great cloud of snow that blocked the view of everyone who was watching it, the spore landed. A massive figure began to shift and break free of the spore, as impossibly large blades snaked out and slammed into the ground and an ear splitting roar that turned mens stomachs to putty escaped the beasts form. As it took it's first step towards the Imperial lines its shape blotted out the sky, multiple bio cannons span across the Imperial lines as it's multi faceted eyes regarded the prey before it. And then, it fired. The cannons roared and whined and cracked as they poured into the rear of the lines, the withering hail of fire was like the fist of an angry god descending on the gathered Imperial forces, as it took a step forwards Poisonous spores escaped from rent's in it's spinal armour filtering around it like an aura of death. Multiple blades slid out and swooped low to the ground, each one powerful enough to dice a Leman Russ into cubes with barely a thought. Above and around it the Gargoyles had gathered and flew around the massive Bio-titan protecting it from aerial attacks. And as more spores slammed into the ground around the field of battle Tyranid Warriors, and Gaunts and Lictors and Carnifexes began to shoulder free to engage the Imperials. The horde had landed, and now they were angry...

OOC: ok i dont really know weather or not this is a valid point but...
Titans and bio-titans are , to my understanding, the most powerful ground units in the 40k univers. Acording to what i have read on the lexicorum stormblades are one of the only units able of taking them down. Since they are of pretty much equal power as a titan (like a baneblade) im takeing time to build mine and RPing it as such. Shouldnt this be the case with the bio-titan? ill check the lexicorum now to validate my clame but i humbly submit that this is GMing

EDIT: From the Lexicanum* :
this data is collected from the Tyranid invasion of Dalki-Prime:
Day 00: Initial mycetic spores are dropped, generally containing Lictors or Genestealers. Infiltration force led by a synapse creature of some kind; reproduction of Tyranid creatures likely begins immediately.
Day 09: By day 9, Tyranids will have expanded to around 200 km from the drop point, and will likely present a significant threat to PDF troopers and resident Imperial Guard.
Day 13: Tyranids will have expanded to 700 km from the drop point; may begin infesting local water sources.
Day 37: Tyranids control area within 2000 km radius of the drop point; basolithic infestation to 5000 km radius.
Day 48: Tyranid population growth skyrockets, with population doubling approximately every 2.5 days.
Day 50: Main Hive Fleet arrives, craft generally numbering around 1.5 billion. Psychic contact with planet is cut off by the shadow of the Hive Mind. Any attempts to escape are quickly stopped by the Hive Fleet.
Day 51: Primary consumption of bio-mass begins (resistance has generally been eliminated by day 51). Brood ships land, releasing Ripper swarms, which consume organic material and depositing them at the reclamation pools. Capillary towers (and the Brood ships) send the material into orbit. Any remaining surface life is eliminated by Gaunts.
Day 80: Ripper swarms board the Brood ships and return to the Hive Fleet. The hive ships descend into the upper atmosphere and begin collecting it. Reduction in atmospheric pressure causes oceans to boil away, which are also collected. Lack of oceans causes plate tectonic shifts, dramatically increasing volcanic activity. Upon completion, the Hive Fleet re-enters the Warp, in search of fresh prey.
Day 100: Imperial navy arrives in response to the distress call to find the world lifeless.

Ih8uwannakillu, the timescale on which you built your base was incredibly unrealistic, unless of course you had every single soldier work on it.

That's practicly what im doing, only differance is iv have dispached a force to hit the 'nids.

Iv baisicly landed on a hill and set up perimiters and so built up from that. I guess the description i gave ICly is what it will be lick by the time people mount an assult against it (hopefully)

Ih8u, a quick note, it isn't GM'ing if I asked for full permission from Falk before even contemplating posting a Hierophant. And besides which:

A brood of Hierophants are likely to be at the forefront of a major Tyranid attack.


EDIT: Also one other point, the Tyranids don't need to build things, they grow them, and if they don't need them just convert them back to Biomass so they can grow them again when they need them.

Ah, but this isnt a majer tyranid assult because as you have said, you are only PART of Hive fleet leviathan not the whole fleet.

If the bio titan is allowed then want either: Acces to an orbital strike (a bio titan alone is enugh to warrent as an emergancy i should think), my stormblade ready built or my fortress ready built.

Also one other point, the Tyranids don't need to build things, they grow them, and if they don't need them just convert them back to Biomass so they can grow them again when they need them.
then should you have to grow the bio-titan to make this fair.

Ih8u, at no point have I stated that this is just a part of Hive Fleet Leviathan, this is an individual hive fleet that splintered off on their own mindless rampage when Leviathan was stopped.

And as for fair? Did I start Bitching about fairness when I had a Chaos Fleet to eat my way through, a Guard army on the ground to greet me with cupcakes and fun time tanks, followed up by Marines dropping in and spin kicking the shit out of my troops like some kind of crazy john woo movie?

This is my fleet, small it may be, but it's still my fleet, now if you want to press the issue that it's a PART of Leviathan, then by all means go ahead, I could do with drawing down a few million more Hive Vessels to eat everything in the system before reducing the various armies here to unidentifiable biomass and turning the planet into a floating rock with no atmosphere.

Now I got permission for something that is entirely acceptable to the Tyranid cause, but remember you might use that Orbital Bombardment to clear the Titan, my ground forces as well as your troops in proximity. But before you can do that you'll need clearance from the Templars since their troops are in such close proximity. And once the dust settles I'll just launch more Spores and drop another Hierophant in place until I have a clear drop site. Failing all else I might just eat your ship's.

And as for that crazy talk about Instantly Building your Stormblade or Base? Theres a difference between getting permission to even the odds so I can get involved properly, and Godmodding because you got upset over the fact I had to deploy a Bio-titan to the surface.

Hmmm...Damn this lad has a point. Screw it. Let loose the titan...will find some way pop a hole in that plan, likely 7 or 9 pages from now. As for John Wooing your guys to the ground, I kinda assumed you would spin kick right back. AND that my friend is where your fucking titan comes in. Start complaining about everyone, you have everyone on your back. I didn't do anything to provoke a response, I came in with a few dozen marines with bolters and chain swords, not even one dread. All I did was join in on the fun. As for fairness, he could have just drowned us with 5000 'Nids, rather then bring down something with style. Either way he would have won that fight.

As in the words of Imperial Navy, Its All About The Story. Now then. If anyone else has a problem with a Bio Titan dropping the hammer on our heads, PLEASE speak up so I can bitch slap you for makeing more people angry. Now are we done so we can move on with the story, because so far, I've assumed that someone would drop the hammer on me, and now here it is.

And Caltha just drop down where the action is. Doesn't matter, the order to deploy at hot spots has been given already.

I was away for a while, could someone update me so I can get involved again?

Thanks United, and hey I would have spun kick back and face planted your Marines, but there ain't not way I'm getting close enough to inflict serious damage without some heavier forces on the ground than Gaunts and a few Carnifexes here and there.

And hey it's all cool, Ih8u just annoyed me slightly with that last post. After all there isn't anything stopping you guys from roleplaying some seriously crazy stuff happening, like deploying an Emperors Champion who roughrides the Hierophant like some crazy redneck cowboy on PCP whilst stabbing the damn thing in the eyes. :wink:

Theres a solution to every problem, without having to resort to whining about it and not looking for a solution. :D


Oh and Void, the basic story so far is:

The Tyranid Hive Fleet tore through the rear of the Chaos fleet and deployed minimal forces to the ground whilst fighting towards the planet. They were engaged by the guard who were later reinforced by members of the Black Templars who had just finished mopping up the last of Abbadons ground forces. As my numbers were whittled down considerably from the already small amount I had deployed I managed to get a Bio Titan on the ground to clear my dropzone. The Tau at the moment I believe are just shooting the hell out of Guardsmen left right and centre, whilst the Eldar are currently hiding and not getting involved and the Necrons havent popped up yet.

remember you might use that Orbital Bombardment to clear the Titan, my ground forces as well as your troops in proximity. But before you can do that you'll need clearance from the Templars since their troops are in such close proximity. And once the dust settles I'll just launch more Spores and drop another Hierophant in place until I have a clear drop site. ok i dont know how many of those things a hive fleet has, so ill let others coment on that at ther discresion

[/QUOTE]And as for that crazy talk about Instantly Building your Stormblade or Base? Theres a difference between getting permission to even the odds so I can get involved properly[/QUOTE] True, but in all seriusness did you think the IG would take it easy on the 'nids? Now my guys aint no veterans when it come to fighting 'nids but they know enugh to know they need to react fast, of course there gonna try to destroy the infestation at the drop zone and fast!!

However i will drop the issue, partly cause i dont want to argue and partly cuase i CBA to argue. Anyway, continue...

I'm not disputing your points Ih8u, I only have issue with the way you reacted when I got permission to drop in the Hierophant. United might not be any happier with the fact that the Bio-titan is there, but he is reasonably going to find a way to punch a hole in that puppy the first chance he gets.

But again I have to agree with you that this argument is pointless, what's done is done, at the moment I'm just waiting on you and United to post in response to the fact that the Hierophant just opened fire on everything in it's path.

yea. What it was was i knew youd requested and got permision for a hierophant but you refered to it as a bio titan in the IC post so i was like "FTW, THAT ISN'T A CREEPY CARNIVORUS ELIPHANT!!!" lol. Allthoe actuly, now iv seen its picture im inclined to say it is lol.

Its class compared to Imperium, Tau, and yes even Orky standards counts as 'Bio Titan'. It varies from race to race. For example, some people might say that Tau Battle Suits count as dreads, or even light vehicles, when they are in fact considered Heavy Infantry if your useing a basic standard, like with any video game. Some faction might have a Golem thats considered a siege weapon, while a more advanced faction has a giant robot thats under the Assualt Walker status. One thing is for sure though.

We Templars have a baaaaad feeling about that Elephant monster. *Shudder*
RUN FROM THE ELEPHANT MONSTER! IT WILL EAT YOUR SOULZ!

(And yes I kinda planned on winging it on the matter of your Hierophant. Maybe a ship will crash into it after a major completely UNRELATED battle that destroys it in one foul swoop. Maybe a Champion will jump onto its face and plant some John Woo ass whooping onto your bowl of soup. What ever helps the story, or advances the plot. The only reason I'm gonna go after your big guys (At least the guys that are OUT IN THE OPEN. Like if you have a super mutant hidden away somewhere that you mention in a post but is never revealed, i wont come in and blow it up out of nowhere 'randomly') Is for the sake that, if your going to unleash a giant monster for everyone to see, I'll go after it somehow.

At this point, winning doesn't seem to matter. I'd rather just have control of my own guys, that and make sure no one vanishs without a trace. Which reminds me. Where is that assassin?

Hah! Freaky Carnivorous Elephant monster FTW!

Although about now United, I can actually picture one of your marines going in with twin bolters held akimbo as he slides down the things back shooting it up before spinning in the air and roundhouse kicking that bad boy in the jaw. o.O

Although I gotta agree with you Ih8u that thing is one freaky looking beast! And hey this planet has barely started heating up yet (pun intended) although I must admit that I'm finding roleplaying the 'nids to be quite a challenge. Everything I've ever read about them advocates a massive force devouring everything in it's path and butchering anything that tries to stop them. It's about this time I wish I'd gone with something simpler so I didn't get such a headache trying to tone these crazy bastards down :(

Hey! They are Space Marines. Their MADE of Bad Assery.

Edit: Also, that sounds so KICK ASS! If someone makes a movie out of this, I want that in there. :P

Damn straight! I'd pay to watch that right there!

Ah but who would you pick to lay the part of the plucky/insane Marine responsible for this craziness? :p

Or play the part as the Ork who has nothing to lose...

Sorry for my constant absence, but I've been so busy lately.

Yea, tell me about it. Have rarely have a life anymore!

Ah, life...that brings back memories...

You people. Dont your realise that you can have a life, AND have the Interwebz at the same time?! Its called WiFi! FTW! :P YAY INTERWEBZ! *Goes Insane*

ok im going camping for 4 days starting tomorow night so i leave my IG in the capable hands of the united fleets and im tursting you all to be nice and leave me alone for that time *looks suspiciously at void templar*

Extra Information: The Nga'hue are a band of various fringe world Tau and humans that have broken off from their parent cultures, having become sick of the hypocrisy of their ideologies.

Scrapping together a colonization fleet they have set off into the Warp in search of a new home. To their dismay they fell prey to a Chaos Warp storm and have been discharged back into normal space. Unable to continue on their way but still a respectable force they seek to land on the nearest world.

A world already torn by war...

Nga'hue use the colors green and black heavily in their designs, more for decoration rather then camouflage. As a infantry heavy force they tend to favor guerrilla tactics. Their mechanized forces are kept in reserve, saved for explosive ambushes.





I'm not a Loremaster. But I think it's a fun idea. Feel free to shoot it down.

No-no-no This is good. Roll with it. Your guys will ironicly end up on top if I'm right.

Edit: Seriously, wheres that assassin? I wanted to see how that would play out.

Seems fine to me, although I'll need you inform me on what technology (weapons, vehicles, etc.) you'll be using.

(A quick sidenote. Tau are, for lack of a more descriptive or appropriate term, fanatical to the Greater Good. There have been absolutely no recorded events in which Tau have given up or dismissed the Greater Good.)

Patience, united fleets. Some of us have jobs, and don't live on the computer. Though I wish I did.

Well I did read somewhere that there was a Fire Warrior leader that had gone rogue. Also from my reading the "Greater Good" has some rather dark undertones that explain a group breaking off.

Most humans are rather fanatical too, but in some of the source books it mentions even space marines going over to the Tau forces.

But what do they have...urg....mainly humans and tau with a few forces of other races/traitor space marines soooo...

3 Skyray Missile Gunships, 2 Hammerhead Gunships, 4 Devilfish Troop Carriers, a plethora of Imperial Guard tanks kept in reserve, XV88 Broadsides, XV8 Crisis Battlesuits and even some Land Raiders/Speeders to mix it up along side the infranty.

Far outnumbering these vehicles are the passenger and cargo freighters that carry not only the wide variety of infantry that broke off from their respective cultures but civilian families as well. While holding no armament they are equipped with heavy stealth systems and many serve industrial purposes as well.

The Main force of the Nga'hue is their diverse infantry. This includes:

Tau Fire Warriors
XV15 Stealthsuit Squads
Pathfinders
Imperial Guardsmen (though they've modified their uniforms by now)
Apothecaries
Kasrkin Squads
Ogryn Squads
Space Marine Platoon broken off from the Blood Raven Chapter for unknown reasons

The group is led by a Tau Commander known simply as Tuev'a. He is usually followed by a lone Vindicare Temple Assasin called Druid.

While various techpriest enginseers oversee construction most work is actually done by human and Earth Caste laborers.


That seem alright?

-SNIPPED-
I'm getting nervous about that. Land raiders, space marines, broadsides, hammerheads AND imperial tanks? That roster seems a little overpowered...
Though I suppose that the fact that you'll be against EVERYONE makes up for it.
/soapbox

There is that. There is also the fact that I'm not playing it as a group that comes to the forefront and lays the smack down. Most of their forces are kept back to guard the colonists. That is tremendous strategic disadvantage.

Also to be honest, though I know I want at least some aspect to those vehicles and ships, I really have no idea what the scale of the armies is. So as for actual ship/vehicle numbers I am more then willing to change the number of each set. I was trying to make a diverse, adaptable force that is better off staying away from fights but packs a punch when cornered.

:o

Bah forget it. I still think it's a cool idea but Im too much of a nub to do it right.

I do not see any problems with it. We can put it to the Ground to Space Ratio.

I would say lose the Space Marine stuff, and the Vindicare assassin. Other then that, it's cool.

That seem alright?

Yea, perfectly fine with me. I was just asking to make sure everything was balanced, because the last time I had a player sign-up as a Tau/Human, he had his guys using Rail-rifles, Stealth Tech, and Baneblades; all of which in one army would completely offset the power balance.

As for the rogue Commander, he's Farsight. He went rogue because he didn't agree with his Ethereal Commander, but never gave up the Greater Good. As for the humans defecting to the Tau, there are many, many reports of such things happening.

I had a player sign-up as a Tau/Human, he had his guys using Rail-rifles, Stealth Tech, and Baneblades

Only rail guns, stealth tech would be too much and the TRSU were a support company! They had no combat tanks of any sort!
Ya meanie.

True, I just believe that no Space Marine or Vindicare assassin would ever betray the Imperium for any reason. And the Imperial vehicles are kinda iffy. You could have all the Tau armor you want, though.

Umm...Nah I'll pass on this one. Maybe one of my fellow Lore Gurus will counter that one instead.

It seems generally fine to me, and has been approved for RP in it's current state.

However, like it was said above, it is incredibly unlikely that a Space Marine group would denounce the Emperor (with the only exception I know of in the form of Chaos Temptations) and join an opposing faction.

As for the Vindicare Assassian, that is more plausible, as I have read a few instances where Callidus Assassians have infiltrated enemy groups and have decided to defect for one reason or another.

Again, you're all clear to RP in the current state!

Hello, completely forgot I signed up for this. Hmm...Sorry, been kinda busy lately. I'll post IC'ly soon.

It's fine. Everybody's busy now, lol.

Posted.

Cool. Read it, and nice job.

Did I tell you that depending on how much interest is laft by the end of the war, I'll create a Galaxy-wide Offsite RP/War?

Really? Interesting...

Hehe, now I've got to find a way to get involved with the fun.

Oh, and by the way, is the list of the factions in the OP complete?

Not really.

Meh, oh well.

Yea, haven't had a lot of time to update it.

Fair enough. Its not exactly anything we can't do without anyways.

Yea, lol.

And now I play the waiting game...

Yea, lol.

And a 40ker too? You're full of surprises.

Why yes, yes I am. I think me and GW once had a chat about W40K.

I wonder how that off site thing will play out. Honestly though, how WILL that play out? Hmmm. I smell a ultra epic plot afoot. Or not. Could just be my dinner.

Probably dinner. I know that feeling.

*rises from a ig puddle of black goo* I LIVE!!!!!!! *yawn* ah, i are back, did y'all miss me? So whats been hapening in the crazy-verse while iv been off getting soaked in the lake district?

In short.... nothing really.

OOC: Oo! Oo! I'd like to play as the Grey Knights chapter of the Inquisition (although I actually use to field a massive Bor'kan army.)

Name: Anemos Major
Race: Human (in both this thread AND in real life... I think...)
Group Name: Ordo Malleus, Grey Knights Chapter
Extra Info: Actually played Tau.

Thats just what we need. More Tau/Humans. Wheres the orks? I could use some laughs.

Accepted Anemos. Go ahead and feel free to post!

This is getting good.

mmm, wonder where biodyne is thoe *looks in all the nooks and cranyhs of teh interwebs*

I might have to drop out. I'm just not finding enough time on here at the moment. :(

If only I had a clue about warhammer.....(looks at a hammer)...sorry.....

Uh-nevermind. *Snicker* To easy that one. Nothing to see here Daiwiz, move along. *Whistle*

Well thats not very nice, now is it?

At least I didn't say anything...


EDIT: MADE A AWESOME POST! That had to be one of my better ones.

Any word on when the galactic scale RP is gonna go up Falk? I think Biodyne died.

Very, very soon. Invisionfree has been having some server issues lately, so I haven't been able to get a board up yet.

kk
im contemplateing who to be now.
I wanna be tau or necrons, i cant choose:S

Cut out the middle man. Bringz in dah orkz! 'Ere we go! 'Ere we go! Ere we go! WAAAAAAGH! *Giggles madly*

*EDIT: More seriously, It seems more like absent rather then dead. If they're still active on the board, they either lost interest, or I talked to Raparth, who said they thought it was dead. Theres a few reasons like that. Interest is a factor, and if their busy it will of course be second priorty to post. And then theres Raparth. :P

I'm still mmheah, but the 'nid guy never replied to my post of my guardsmen bravely firing their peashooters at his big scary monsters.

I'm Baaaack, Sorry i stopped playing this, folks, some things came up, but i'll be playing the galaxy-scale for certain.

Then it seems we have come to a conclusion. We must blow up Dustin V. :P TO THE VIRUS BOMBS! DUN DUN DUNNNNNN! Kidding. But yeah. I'll be around for the Full-Scale one and then some.

Ok guys, since we have agreed, feel free to go straight to end-game scenario on this one. There are NO more restrictions or limits! I repeat, NO MORE RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITS!!

Ironicly its only till now I realise that we completely ignored the mountains where the Artifact was suppose to be. We wern't even directly engageing the Chaos forces here. They could have come and taken the Artifact and left three times before we noticed 'Hey, arn't we suppose to be going after something?'

EDIT: Well I did take out the Black Legion, but its not like The Thousand Sons couldn't have done just that. Only Raparth wasn't around. :P

Yea but we were prety preocupied with the big scary galactic scurge... i mean the other one, with sharper claws and bigger teeth and the 'Glaven'

Wow. You miss a lot when on vacation.

tel me about it, in 4 days most of the threads i was involved with kasploded

Well theres my part in the 'End game'. The Splinter Fleet is decimated. The Bio Titan and most ground infestation has been terminated. The Tau Research Base has been heavily assualted by Black Templar forces and its outer defenses crippled. And with the arrival of more Black Templar Forces this should be quickly assumed to be a Imperial Victory. Or thats my version of the End game. I'm bloody sure everyone else is going to go for something bigger unfortunately. Sure I blew up some stuff. Its not like I KurBOOOSH! smashed everyone John Woo style and blew up the Planet...just Biodynes Tyranids :P. Erm. Nevermind. Ignore the grumbleing fanatic.

Let me know when the Off Site RP is up Falk. Don't worry. I wont Godmod like we ended up doing like hell up around page 6 to now. I even bothered to wait for people to tell me damage counts and fairly exchange hits one for one. That toppled over well and good when Biodyne started munching on Abaddons fleet. *Laughs insanely*

Damn, wish I'd gotten in to this sooner...

Its not like I KurBOOOSH! smashed everyone John Woo style and blew up the Planet...just Biodynes Tyranids
Funny you should say that... If its ok with Falk i'm gonna call in my guards Ironclad class ship. Its been equiped with a planet killer (It is a valid attachment to Ironclad ships) I know you said no limits but i still want to knwo your ok with me useing this, afterall its the ultimate GM for the thread lol.

Yea, I'll let everybody know when it's up.

As for the no limits, I guess there is still one. Anything may be used, save weapons that destroy the planet entirely.

You know, if the overwhelming armies of man need a new enemy that's going to level the playing field, i had an idea...

...Any of you read about the Clans from battletech?


How many of you just rammed your head against your desk in disgust?

The Multiverse of 40K fans are in a outcry. You just ruptured dozens of Multiverses at the very Idea of introduceing Giant robots into a universe where Titans are impossible to manufacture due in part to their being rituals impedeing the task and no viable way to reproduce most tech that once existed 10'000 years ago in teh 40K Univerese. Congrats. You broke der Interwebz.

Or thats what I would have said if I honestly meant it. Other wise...OH GOD NO! : (

*Rolls on floor laughing his ass off* The universe is broken!

Hmmm...for being broken, the universe seems exactly the same...how odd.

Ok guys, the Galaxy-wide RP Forum will official be up tommorrow. If you want, consider the existing RP closed... or you can try for palnetary domination.

I'd like everyone to know that my commander, O'Korvesa, the Ethereal and his commander attache [Is this fine?], a sizable detatchment of Korvesa's best warriors, a good portion of the tech inside the facility have evacuated safely from the planet. Will RP post soon.

If its allowed, I'd look at the current odds, and end the RP at face value after the post. As of now, there could be multiple Imperial Fleets convergeing on this warzone, as with the usual, if a battle is BIG, they'll come to make it bigger. The Chaos Forces were struck a heavy blow with the loss of Abaddons Invasion force, The Thousands Sons as with no newer posts from Raparth, have made little progress, and could be, lets face it, easily destroyed realisticly by the huge amount of Imperial ships orbiting. The Tyranids are being mopped up, the Imperial Guard has been whipped down but its still standing, and the Black Templars have already cleared away three factions with the new addition of the Tau Evac'. Lets just move on to the Full-Scale RP and call this battle a Imperial Victory, pass it along to the Servitors, and store it DEEP down in the Archives with the other 3'000'000 battles.

Or if none of you like that idea of putting it under the table, The 100+ Templar ships in orbit could just Glass the planet after some unexplainable force sweeps my army aside out of nowhere, ending a draw. *Cough*Evil Artifact*Cough*

*Cough*Battletech Clan*Cough*

I'd like everyone to know that my commander, O'Korvesa, the Ethereal and his commander attache [Is this fine?], a sizable detatchment of Korvesa's best warriors, a good portion of the tech inside the facility have evacuated safely from the planet. Will RP post soon.

Sounds fine. Looking forward to the offsite RP. Life got in the way of the on-site one for me.

*Cough*Battletech Clan*Cough*

Absurd.

Is Not.

Is To.
