[OOC] The Grim Crusade [Warhammer 30,000 RP]

[Hank]

It'll get here when it gets here, don' worry 'bout it.

@Specter189

People will lose interest and momentum if it takes too long.

[Jb]

I agree...I know...for it has happened to me many times, so Hank speaks the truth; then again, this RP holds peoples interest so much that it can probably power through the waiting.

[Hank]

Probably.

[agentmanatee]

@Hank@Jbcool These guys are right, holding interest or not... it does need to start soon. I', patient and all, but I needs to right

[BCTheEntity]

To those of you who have been asking when the RP is going to start: despite how it may seem, I am getting a first post written up, and will ideally have it finished before the end of the week. I know it's taking a bit of a while, but hold tight, it'll be here soon.

[Thundercrash]

@BCTheEntity May I just say, your picture is PERFECT for your comment.

[BCTheEntity]

@Thundercrash Bonus points if you can figure out what it's from.

[Thundercrash]

@BCTheEntity The art style looks familiar, but I'm afraid those points will be going to someone else.

[Barrett]

@Thundercrash@BCTheEntity
*stretches collar nervously*
Aheh, I have no idea where that's from, no indeed.

[mattmanganon]

So fucking up for this. I have had an Original Legion in mind for a while. Calling the name "Sons of the Three Blades"

[Specter189]

@mattmanganon Long time no see, how've things been since the old guild?

[mattmanganon]

@Specter189 They've been going great... But upon further thought, now I have two different idea's for Primarchs I'd love to play:

A) The Sons of the Three Blades are essentially Chinese Space Marines. They excel in all-round combat, split into 3 different armies led by one of the Three Sworn Brothers. The Primarch, Ruubai Han, is the leader of the Emperors Blades, melee combat and assault based. Then there are the Sworn Brothers of Ruubai, Gaul Yuar, leader of the Blue Dragons, the fast-attack wing, and Zahara Mai, leader of the Iron Vipers, that utilize the legions heaviest weapons and vehicles. Ruubai constantly annoys the Emperor by petitioning that Gaul and Zahara be legally recognized as Primarchs, due to them being his sworn brothers.

B) The Horns of Destruction are a Melee based Warband with very little in the way of tactics other than "Rip and Tear" led by the Emperors most deformed of sons, Rumisklinese. Rumisklinese mutated into a beast-man when he was thrown through the Warp. None know this but the Emperor, Malcadore and the other Primarchs. He has a helmet in the shape of a minotaurs head that he NEVER removes.

Which do you guys think will work better?

[Specter189]

@mattmanganon hmm, well, we have about three allrounders, and coincidentally, my own Primarch is close quarters focused with a set of Terminator armor that he exceedingly rarely ever takes off, helmet included, and even then never shows his face

Though Cornelius is more about unnatural toughness and tranquil fury

[Savage]

Every single Primarch we have is close quarters focused, except @Sophrus, and he's in a f*%#ing Titan. Which is okay, because who wants to stand back from afar and shoot at people when you could be punching them in the face?

@Savage

Why would you even be anywhere near your enemy when you could send your Space Marines to deal with them, and if that doesn't work, blow up their planet?

[Specter189]

@Savage Was about to say, all of them except Gorseval who just kills bitches with his ships and Mind Bullets

And yeah, all our legions are either adaptable like 2nd Edition Ultrasmurfs or various forms of CQC

[Savage]

Yea but at least Gorseval still carries a sword. So you know, he can stab if he wants to.

[Sophrus]

Yea but at least Gorseval still carries a sword. So you know, he can stab if he wants to.

@Savage

Sword? I don't understand this concept.
I fire mini sun's at people. And lots (and lots and lots) of explosive bullets.

@mattmanganon

We do however have an Asian themed Primarch and Legion already (see @Jbcool) though as I've said before, I don't think it particularly matters. Everyone plays there own style and each character will have their own quirks.

@Specter189

I keep contemplating refining my pretend codex to specialize a little more. Going harder or heavier, perhaps, to play up the Erinyes aspect without losing the Athenian one. Terminator Hoplites?
