IL VIII - The Godslayers

[bluntblade]

That was stylistic. I feel like the Godslayers should be... not florid, but a melancholy sort of poetic.

[TheBlindPrimarch]

I agree, but one thing that I would like to see more is the accent of the Godslayers coming through in the narratives featuring them. More specifically the Zbruchian Godslayers, as any Terran Godslayers would likely speak gothic without an accent.

 

Think classic Hollywood Russian accent. 

 

Example:

 

Da, I agree, however, one thing I would like to be seeing more is accent of Godslayer coming through in narrative featuring them. More specific, I speak of Zbruchian Godslayer, as Terran Godslayer would in gothic speak without accent of Zbruch I think.

 

Does that make sense?

oops, that was supposed to be it's own post...oh well, it's in here now lol

The machines were gross parodies of the Imperium's own dreadnoughts. At any moment, it looked as though the vehicles would fall to pieces as their patchwork construction suggested. It was only from prior experience Koschei knew such an event, as welcome as it would be, would never arrive. The only boon he gleaned from their approach was their unwavering advance towards himself. 

 

Fewer of his sons would be called to be sacrificed as a result.

Question: what does the lance look like? Is it a traditional, Medieval lance? Is it something closer to Final Fantsy as in being an extra long blade? Is it somewhere in-between?

[TheBlindPrimarch]

Koschei's gun-lance is roughly three times the length of one of his arms, and has the assault cannon built in, rather than under-slung.

[bluntblade]

As in guardian spear-style?

Koschei swept his lance. Orks flew as his enhanced strength tossed them back into their fellows. For a brief moment, Koschei enjoyed space and reprieve.

 

With this freedom, he opened fire on the smaller walkers. As poor as their armor was, his assault cannon shredded through them. One ramshackle vehicle exploded with a lucky hit. The larger walkers remained untouched. The first one reached amid the racket of clanging metal. Koschei switched from range to melee in one fluid motion. He slid beneath one screeching sawblade and lanced the walker. Only to Koshcei's genewrought ears did the pained death rattle clatter from within the walker.
