W40K In Service to the Imperium: Episode 5 (OOC/OPEN/Reboot)

[The Nihilistic view]

Did not like the linked to Waltz, however I do like Tchaikovsky so the two after that were good!

I must warn you though, Harper prefers vile music.

Aw, that was one of my favorite Waltz pieces. I digress.

Also, will be funny when the Higarans hear what Harper likes. There will be much scoffing.

Anyways, what did you think of the chaos part of my post? Decent? Bad?

Hum, he might just have to show them at a regimental dinner!

Well seemed alright to me. Maybe not as vivid as I have read in fluff, but better than I could have done. Probably 7/10 compared with your past writings, your usual stuff that you know how to write being a 10. So not bad considering it's not what you usually write and defo good enough for our RP.

[Cymrea]

Missed it in the ooc chatter.

Heh. Your ship is in orbit according to the IC.

So is a Chaos battleship and small fleet.

Looks like an emergency drop for you might be your entry. Your only entry.

You know...the irony is, if you read Persica's history Timeline in the Sourcebook, it details how the Word Bearers are the Legion that originally brought the world into compliance. Not that this is public knowledge!

SHIT TRAITORS IN THE RANKS!

SHIT TRAITORS IN THE RANKS!

Part of the irony is that the reason Persica was already worshipping the Emperor when they were re-rediscovered is that the Imperial Army garrison was commanded by a man devoted to Lorgar's original Lectitio Divinitatus. It has since then seamlessly realigned with the more contemporary version of the Liber Divinitatus.

Would the men know about this? and would they mention it to the other companies?

*chewing carrot*

Ain't I a stinker?

[Cymrea]

No, per the Timeline, the Persicans have largely forgotten their own history over the millennia and are unaware of any connection to the Traitor Legion. Nor do they connect their featureless golden-veined brightstone statuary of Saint Lothar with Lorgar Aurelian.

Which is probably for the best.

Yeah, it might be for the best.

[Imperial City-States]

Can anyone tell me what the PDF forces that i'll be engaging consist of ?

I hope she says yes and runs forward to hug him. That would be fucking hilarious to see his reaction!

[Bone Fort]

His reaction would be something along the lines of a brief pause followed by "Touché."

[Drakulstan]

Sorry Leg, tossed a post up before I saw that your IC post was "in progress".

[Morrdh]

Going dark for much of the weekend, will probably get a post up either Sunday evening or on Monday.

[Cymrea]

Just for information, my multiple edits of IC posts are for spelling and grammar. I don't change content, I'm just horrifically picky about my own writing.

well, that and the imperium as a whole is extremely ignorant as to who actually penned the Lectitio Divinitatus, A very rare few in the inquisition might now it's lorgar, but in general it's just not known. so even if we know they followed the Lectitio Divinitatus, we wouldn't know it was lorgar's hand who wrote it.

infantry, armed with lasguns and rocket launchers, maybe a few flamer squads; they got here in trucks and a few chimeras, not entirely sure what the state of those are given the earthshaker barrage and mortars.

[Cymrea]

Yep. Totally banking on it, too. It would truly suck if any of the Word Bearer warbands actually remembered bringing Persica into complaince during the Great Crusade.

they... probably would remember? unless their memories have become tainted after 10 millenia, but space marime memories are supposed to be perfect. they might not recognize the uniforms though, as those wil have changed drastically.

And any of the warbands who ducked into the Great Eye for a few months only to emerge millennia later.

[Raktio]

Thinking of doing a infantry however that seems a little bit overly to common, but I don't have very much knowledge about imperial tanks.

[Carcharhinidae primari]

well, I don't think we have a good deal of sappers yet, those might be usefull as well?

[Drakulstan]

Tank warfare isn't too hard of a concept to grasp. Read the book "Gunheads", it'll give you some info on tank fighting in the 41st Millennium. For more common tanker tactics, there's actually a history show called Tank Tactics. Here's an episode on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oXOUnV4l2o

[Drakulstan]

Also, since the 72nd Necromundan Scouts are out, would anyone mind if I grabbed the Tauros vehicles?

[Aelosia]

Depends on Leg, Drak, but yeah, I hate Fractal dissapearances.

Great pice of posting, Cymrea. I enjoyed reading it.

And Leg, I loved your piece too.

I will post eventually tomorrow or the day fater, depending.

[Lakabi]

I have some more free time now and I would like to create an application for a company.

Is your RP currently in a position to receive new companies? It appears you are all ready to retreat from your position, so would it be better to hold off for a more suitable moment?
