Tainted Heresy

[pevergreen]

Hmm, maybe.

I'll try googe mapping it.

Edit: If someone could grid this map:


I think about 20x20 squares should fit ok. or 15x15. Whoever does it can choose.

I'd do it myself, but hard to get even distances with paint...

[pevergreen]

The day dawns.

The Imperial Guard regiment and the Dark Angels stand firm. They had repelled the Tau attacks, the distress call was out, all they could hope was that someone would respond before they lost the West side of the Island as well.

The Tau had retreated back to the planetary camp on the Eastern side of the island. As the Etheral looked up, he saw a number of drop pods land to the North and South.

It was dawn, yet for a brief moment, the sky was black...

Here´s my attempt at a grid:

[Khazaar]

Probably should have put numbers in that, doh...

[shlin28]

Dang... the map isn't displaying for me, must be the censors... Is it possible for the gridded version to be sent to my email at shlin28@gmail.com?

[Khazaar]

It doesnt have the hexgrid numbers, better wait for peev to add those.....

One sec, signing you up for your favorite goodies, we are certain you want to know all about our latest offers, right?

Looks like a good grid Khazaar, whats the difference between black and white though?

[Khazaar]

They´re just for optical reference, it´s easier to find the correct gridnumber with alternating colours...

and I couldn´t change it

[slashandburn]

How did you make the grid?

[pevergreen]

Excellent!

Thank you! We have our map.

I believe I am waiting on:

taka
FactionHeir
White Eyes
atheotes

I'll start after getting the infomation off them.

Starting locations are confirmed, you'll get movement details when you get told where you are.

The starting time is still the day with the crappy story piece above.


General infomation:

There will be no restricted zones.
A unit is either dead or alive, at this stage, no units have more than one wound.
Many units have special rules which I have not mentioned.
The combat system is mine and mine alone
Detailed writeups will help, but cunning battle plans that are pages long will not. If a guy needs to stand still to fire his massive rocket launcher, he will, that may mean that he is killed.

By default I will take your orders to the letter (Unless you make your intentions clear enough if they are vague, ie. Kill anything thats human, but if it looks strong run) will do better than a map system etc. (Mainly aimed at Battle Royale players, I hated getting disadvantaged because I didnt do page long instructions)

If you wish, let me know and I'll help out where your instructions aren't clear, but I would do what your unit would do in the situation, which may be charge right into that big machine of death...

Not everyone can ally with everyone, but sometimes interests do align. Watch your back.

[shlin28]

Anyone willing to send the map to my email or attaching the image to a post/PM?

Pretty please?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm on it.

[shlin28]

W00t! Thanks!

What do you mean by "Map System"? Does it mean using the terrain is not allowed?

Also, in my defence, the longest order I ever wrote was only 2 pages.

Honest.

[FactionHeir]

only...

[slashandburn]

Is the game going to start soon?

[pevergreen]

Yes, I think I'm still waiting on one or two. Hard to check, stuff at home, I'm at work.

You can use terrain, but don't be a massive write-upper.

[Splitpersonality]

I am going to write essays at you pever, I hope you know that :P

[pevergreen]

"Splitpersonality sits down and does nothing at all for the next 3 days"

[Splitpersonality]

Pretty much :P

[taka]

so... anyone willing to spill their blood for the blood god?

[ULC]

so... anyone willing to spill their blood for the blood god?

BLOOD FOOOR THEEE BLOOOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!!

[pevergreen]

You know the only race's Ive annouced are Tau, Dark Angels, the Black Gryphons and hints of something else.

[slashandburn]

Excellent can't wait for this and capo to start.

[taka]

I have a feeling that those smelly tyranids are in this too...

[pevergreen]

Good news: I should be sending you starting positions and so forth in the next hour or so, bombarded by work right now.
Bad news: I'm pretty sure everyone bar FactionHeir has their units completely done, and hes only one reply (I had to clarify a lot to him, bad PM writing skillz) from being finished.

If you have questions about the game that you need answered quickly, use Windows Live Messenger/MSN, pevergreen@pevergreen.com

Always the fastest way to contact me, if I'm offline there, I'm not at a computer, just leave a message. Emails and PMs arent as frequently checked.

[pevergreen]

Starting locations are out.

Everyone can move ONE square, in any direction (including diagonal).

In terms of timing, orders will happen at the same time, but, for example:

Person A is in a forest, walking to square outside forest, person B is outside, walking in. Person B would get to the forest edge quicker. Same for going up or down a hill. Not everyone moves the same speed though, just the same distance at this point.

Turn 1 has begun. The battle for the planet has begun.

Good luck to everyone, orders are due in approximately 30 hours.

"Kill the alien, burn the heretic, purge the mutant!"

[FactionHeir]

So uh that makes you what exactly?

[pevergreen]

To those not familar with the 40k universe, some quotes:
"While vile mutants still draw breath, there can be no peace. While obscene heretics hearts still beat, there can be no respite. While faithless traitors still live, there can be no forgiveness."
Silver Skulls space marine Chapter.

"Give me a hundred space marines. Or failing that, give me a thousand other troops." Rogal Dorn, primarch of the Imperial Fists.

A chant of the space marines:

"With the bolter, cleanse the unclean.
With the flamer, purify the unholy.
With the chainsword, purge the corrupt.
With the missile, kill the impure."

"The Space Marines fear no Evil for we are Fear Incarnate!"

The enemies of the Emperor fear many things. They fear discovery, defeat, despair and death. Yet there is one thing they fear above all others. They fear the wrath of the Space Marines!

[pevergreen]

lets say around 4 hours to go for orders. I've got 9 orders so far.
