[OOC] It's A Wonderful Life! - An Imperial Guard (40K) RP [Looking for Guardsmen]

[Jb]

@Sarpedon Yeeea, apologies my fine Canadian ally, I'll try to do some research.

[Sarpedon]

@Jbcool All good bro. I can give you radio procedure lessons if you want. Or do you, whatever makes you happy.

[Lord Coake]

@Jbcool I'm still here as well. No preference how we progress from here, just as long as we progress.

[Ozymandias]

I'm still here, and I'm fine with either scenario (which doesn't help, I'm aware).

[Bright_Ops]

@Jbcool

Still here. Honestly I'm okay with either continuing the mission or skipping ahead. It's up to you really.

[Lord Coake]

If we do advance the plot, These might come in handy.

[agentmanatee]

@Lord Coakewell... we ALL getting that triple skull XD

[Sarpedon]

@agentmanatee The 3003rd hasn't technically sustained 66% casualties, though...

[agentmanatee]

@Sarpedonok maybe not you, Ninke is sure as hell getting it though... I'm pretty sure Hirisit took over 80% if not over 90% casualties

[Bright_Ops]

Tushienia did somewhat better then Hirisit (Largely because they went into the breach first) but it'll have have taken about 70% casualties before the end of the campaign.

[Jb]

@Sarpedon I'll need to remedy that...

I'm ill atm, damn you Nurgle, but I will get a post up 'soon'.

[Sarpedon]

@Jbcool I mean, four of the five divisions are still fighting traitors and orks and shit on some backwater hellhole, and occasionally press-ganging whole worlds. The whole regiment probably has multiple triple-skulls. So far the Grenadiers (1 Div) are at about 50% casualties...

[agentmanatee]

@Sarpedon I'll need to remedy that...

I'm ill atm, damn you Nurgle, but I will get a post up 'soon'.

@Jbcool

Hey, papa Nurgle is just showing how much he loves you! (Falltochaosfalltochaosfalltochaos)

Btw, several quick questions

1. Are we gonna have a battle of the somme/verdun/really-long-heavy-casualties-turn-us-into-real-veterans campaign? As in gets SUPER grimdark? I'm sure we will but I may as well ask

2. I assets we are gonna deal with chaos at some point?

I realize these are plot questions.. so... if you don't answer them... is fine

[Sarpedon]

@agentmanatee Vimy Ridge II bro.

[Ozymandias]

Also, are Tyranids coming into this at any point? They're my favourite enemy for the guard to fight (apart from heretics and rebel scum).

@Sarpedon@Ozymandias@agentmanatee@Bright_Ops@Lord Coake

So, here's the down-lo; for everyone inside/around the cathedral, this'll probably be your last post before we move on, so make it a good one. Heroics, shooting until your charge-pack runs dry, anything else really. The entire Ork force is coming down on you - that means Boyz, Gretchin, Trukks and Buggiez, everything the Orks have (minus a Squiggoth).

As for Ozy and the Second Wave, well, it's up to you to come in like the cavalry and save the day by shit-kicking the Greenskins from behind.

Now, @agentmanatee;

1) Let me answer that with another question - is the God-Emperor a rotting corpse on a golden toilet? Yes he is. Will we have an extended WWI-type escapade a la Gaunt's Ghosts? I'm actually not sure! I do intend for things to get super Grimdark, but using that route to do it, I'm not certain yet.

What's our (and everyone elses) opinion on the matter?

2) It is likely that, at some point, we will cross bayonets with the Lost and the Damned.

@Ozymandias, to answer your question, where would we be without a bit of Starship Trooper-esque Bug fighting?

Any more questions from the gallery?

[Sarpedon]

@Jbcool Can we have more peanuts? I'm running out of shells to throw

[Jb]

@Sarpedon Eeeeeer...not really sure what you're on about there, Sarp, sorry.

[Sarpedon]

@Jbcool

Any more questions from the [peanut] gallery?

@Jbcool

Can we have more peanuts? I'm running out of shells to throw

@Sarpedon

Implying my membership to the peanut gallery, and my desire for more ammunition to turn on my fellows XD

@Sarpedon

... moving on, so do we just assume we all made it to the cathedral? Like Belgond is fine and we are in the cathedral for our next posts?
