bluntblade Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 (Googles) Say, do we have any Titans involved in Book 1? I reckon Gojira should be profiled in 2 or 3, but not sure about any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simison Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I thought so. What are the main campaigns for 2? I'm pasting Sig's notes from the Book 2 thread. "Book 2A-Campaigns in the Galactic Core. This is where the Insurgos are going=that's where their rules will be Book 2B-Eastern Fringe Void Eagles, Steel Legion, Dune Serpents Book 2C-Battle of the Forge Updated Iron Bears rules. " ~~~ Better plan for Book 2A? Part 1: Fall of the Comnena Cluster Remains as outlined before. Harbingers vs Fire Keepers&SoS. Ends a Harbingers victory Part 2: The Siege of Mars Same reasons as before. This events deserves a mention, even if only a condensed one Part 3: Battle of the Mirrormere System Following their conquest of the Comnena Cluster, the Harbingers move on the Mirrormere System. Void Eagles get sent to fight them. Part 4: The Parasites of War Remains the same as I outlined. Part 5: The Fall of Auretia BoU vs Sheperds of Eden and maybe other legion forces. Part 6: Battle of Arian Gate The Godslayers and Warriors of Peace push south. The Scions Hospitalier are hard pressed to hold them back, Void Eagles get sent in to reinforce them. ~~~ Sorry for double post. Book 2C plan Part 1: The Road to Iyacrax Covers the world's importance&defences, what forces Icarion sends to take it, the securing of the outer worlds of the system. Part 2: Planetfall The scattering of the defence fleet&Insurrectionist landing on the world. Part 3: Ordinatus The Warbringers take the first of the two Ordinatii on Iyacrax from the Mechanicum and the Iron Bears counter-attack to try and retake or disable it. Outcome tbd. Part 4: The Tightening Noose The Warbringers begin to tighten the noose around Iyacrax's central Forge-Citadel and second Ordinatus. Part 5: The Unbreakable Fortress Warbringers assault the final bastion of loyalist resistance on Iyacrax but can't break through. Part 6: The Rat War The battle degenerates into street to street fighting over rubble as the great manufactories of Iyacrax get reduced to dust by artillery and tanks. Warbringers utilize their supply superiority to shell entire districts to rubble before movinc in to exterminate resistance. HW, IB and Mechanicum hunker down in the rubble to ambush passing Warbringers columns and launch counter attacks from the sewers. After half a year or more of this, the Warbringers decide the world is now utterly worthless and withdraw. Covers the cost to both sides. Red pages: The Ordinatii Iyacrax? Other ideas? Look ok?

bluntblade Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Seems decent - Halcyon Wardens are involved on Iyacrax, but that can be handled just within the campaign. One Titan Legio allied with the Bears can debut in 2 with the Knight House that isn't August, then August can appear in 3 as they're involved on Iyacrax.

simison Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Book 1 - Three Major Insurrectionist Victories Book 2 - 1 Major Insurrectionist, 2 Draws Book 3 - Loyalist Victory Book 4 - Insurrectionist Victory Book 5 - Insurrectionist Victory, Suzerainty Victory Book 6 - Suzerainty Victory Book 7 - Insurrectionist Victory Book 8 - Loyalist Victory, Suzerainty Victory Hmmm, 7 Traitor, 3 Suzerainty, and 2 Loyalist, not counting any Draws. And not all of those Traitor victories are outright, some of them are only strategic or minor ones. Betrayal - Traitor win Massacre - Traitor win Extermination - Traitor win, Loyalist win, Draw Conquest - Traitor several wins, Loyalist win Tempest - Draw? Traitors slam UM and cause the Ruinstorm, but the UM force a high cost on WB. Retribution - All over the place Inferno - Traitor win So, overall, we appear to be keeping apace with the Heresy. It's mostly a bunch of Traitor victories with the odd Loyalist win or strategic draw here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Inferno = Traitor win? Because Horus achieved what he wanted? I thought that our campaign in the Eastern Fringe culminates in a draw or victory for the Loyalists? At first, the Steel Legion dominates the Dune Serpents and Scions but is forced to retreat after the Predators arrive and the loyalists join forces. Or am I misremembering something?

In Book 2 it's a draw. Then in book 3 the Predators arrive and launch a counter-attack and it turns into a loyalist victory. Or at least that was the plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomus Sardauk Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) I think their symbol was meant to be a pair of Crossed Axes if I recall correctly, I think I whipped up a quick mock-up emblem for them ages ago, along with one for Athrawes' own Titans, Legio Telesto. Oh wait, that's right! Athrawes built his own Warlord on the BnC from Telesto, Aeria Gloris:the Red Comet, maybe she could end up being the BnC's Dies Irae equivalent for the position of ubër infamous Chaos Titan? For those that don't recall Aeria Gloris, here's a link to the Athrawes' thread for her: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310874-mars-pattern-warlord-psi-titan-the-red-comet-walks/?fromsearch=1 Edited May 26, 2017 by SanguiniusReborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
