RIGHT!

Tomorrow, whether you've replied or not to everything, I'm going to get us back into it; so post no, or don't moan when I do.

HAPPY, DANNY!

WOOOOO! PURGING!

I'm just waiting for @agentmanatee to let me stand at ease lol

I'll get a post up later today (Hopefully if I don't immediately pass out from everything I need to do). For now, I'll just assume that Ninke has already ordered us to stand down by the time Khaz asks his question, because we might be waiting a long time if @agentmanatee doesn't get a post up soon.

I apologize for my absence. Life be crazy. Posting up tomorrow

i will post something maybe after i've finished this horrible paper and the presentation that follows.

@NecroKnight

Spleen.

REALLY?

Why... why tau? That's in the top three of nasty enemies a Guardsman can face.

Khaz doesn't know what Tau are... but if we can get close enough to them there will be no survivors.

I can Krak and Melta anything with heavy armor to leave them vulnerable to Khaz. Just get us safely into position and we can purge these depth-preceptionless fish-heads >:). Let's hope that Bertie's Chimera can hold up against plasma fire.

Also, got a post up for before the deployment. I figured I'll wait for Agentmanatee's post about how our new squad and Chimera is before I write about the deployment just to make sure everything's coherent.

WOOOO TAU!

LET'S MAKE FISHFINGERS BOOOOYS!

@Bright_Ops@Hank@mackielars@Rultaos@Andreyich@NecroKnight@Dannyrulx@agentmanatee

Right, according to what you've all told me, none of you should actually know who/what the Tau are or indeed what you'll be facing, as such I am expecting some shock...some awe...some fear...all the good stuff that comes with an unexpected and unknown enemy; the most you may know about them are tales from a friend-of-a-friend or a couple of pages in the Uplifting Primer more-or-less explaining how weak they are, how their Greater Good is heretical, and how the galaxy belongs to Man alone. There's unlikely to be much on specifics, the Ministorum and Commissariat don't want to spook their soldiers too much.

Secondly, no meta-gaming!

By this I mean keep your personal info and the info your character would know seperate; I don't want anyone character suddenly going "oh yea, that's a such and such Crisis suit, I know this because...reasons."

These are, as far as you lot are concerned, something you haven't come across before.

Hope that's understood.

Also...how do you know it's Tau anyway? We might just happen to be on the Eastern Fringe fighting Necrons!

Probably better that everyone does this, really, so you're up Manatee.

@JBCool Angelika just casually getting hyped up on perfectly legal combat drugs getting ready to fry whatever she sees...

By the way, have we been issued the Damocles edition of the Uplifting Primer, or are we using the generic one?

@Dannyrulx

I thought we were using the butt-wiping kind?

Pretty much this, but that's why I said you'd know general stuff from the Primer, as well as propoganda and so forth - nothing all that useful, really. Sure though, if you want to actually read it, then Damocles Edition is fine.

I only say it because the Damocles edition has 'facts' about the Tau and the Tau empire.

No, it doesn't, that's my point - but I know what you mean.

RIP John he's going to try and charge them and get blown away when "mysterious red dots" appear on him.

'FACTS' (inverted commas.) The regular edition doesn't mention the Tau is all.

I know.

@Jbcool Understood. I'm just saying that Marcus will most likely equate Tau armor and Crisis Suits with the heavy armor worn by Orks and better-equipped Chaos cultists, so... Kraks and Meltas whenever necessary . Other than that, he's going to find a new love for tight enclosed spaces since they will keep him relatively safe from the plasma storm from the Fire Warriors, and a new fear for open battlefields with no trenches
