Legio Destructor is from the old background, and a few snippets are known:

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Legio_Destructor

Their colourscheme is unknown.

Thaddeus Wilson himself will probably make an appearance in the story later on.


I picked the Legio Destructor because their home Forgeworld, Accatran, is near to Attila, the Ork Empire of Charadon, and Rynn's world (Crimson Fists' home planet as of 50 years before the story is set... they are almost destroyed by an ork attack 50 years after the story is set).

http://www.joachim-adomeit.de/wh40k/spacemap/map.html

Achill-Quag is probably half way between Accatran and the heart of the Charadon empire.

The war, although relatively minor as regards the forces involved (Only a few million infantry on each side), is judged by the Ordo Xenos to be important enough that IG reinforcements from as far away as Kar Duniash have been sent.

Just finished reading it and I really like it, I spotted one mistake, which I now cannot find, also, there are many instances of the word 'fourty' which should be 'forty' unless it's some obscure military term I'm not familiar with....

Does it just end with the retreat or is there more story? I particularly enjoyed the Templars/Fists officer discussions myself.....

Nope, I'm just not great at spelling. :-)

There will be more story yet. I'm enjoying zooming in an out, sometimes discussing events on a global scale, sometimes zooming in to a conversation between a couple of Marines or Orks. This is just the first chunk of the story, there'll be another 10 pages I'd guess, plus supplemental background.

And you haven't seen the last of Marshall Galfridus just yet, despite his horrific wounds, he will fight again...

Eldar Titan List

Any lists not Approved by each NetEA Champion in time for the supplement’s release will have to sit it out.

good stuff E&C, I was wondering if we'd see a dreadnought or two made out of bits of scavenged templars.... ;)

\Loving it so far. Great to see some good Titan-on-Gargant action. The classic one Imperator vs 2 mega Gargants. Awesome!!

Cant believe you wantonly destroyed Ordinatus Minoris Battery Vaaish. He will be devastated!!

:)

Thanks

James

It would be a pretty big failure if I didn't manage to get THIS encounter into the supplement!

LOL

How far do you reckon you are through the storyline?

Thanks

Most of the way finished now I'd say.

I'm a bit concerned that the Emperor titan hasn't died yet. No Emperor ever appears without dieing spectacularily in GW stories

I'm thinking that to settle this encounter, I'll just sit down and play against myself or a mate with the forces (Orks using units from the Gargant Bigmob & Gazghull's Horde lists, Imperials using units from the Titan Legion & Knightworld lists).



ORKS:
Mega Gargant - 1050pts

Mega Gargant - 1050pts

Blitz Brigade (12 Gunwagons) - 350pts

Total : 2450pts


IMPERIALS:
Imperator Titan - 1250pts
Legate - 50pts
Sacred Icon - 25pts
Carapace Multilasers - 50pts

4 Knights Paladin - 300pts
1 extra Knight Paladin - 75

4 Knights Paladin - 300pts
1 extra Knight Paladin - 75

Total : 2125pts



That way if the Imperator dies, you can't blame me. :-p


I might pull Baron Harko out of the story at this section as there wasn't actually a Baron in the Titan Legions boxed set, just 10 normal Paladins. Also that'd help dramatic tension as we already know that the Baron survives until the end of the war, so taking him out of this fight puts makes the outcome more unpredictable to the reader. Think I'll do that.
