Does anyone here have an electronic copy of the "Marines in the Movies" rules? I think it was somewhere in WD 300 or 301 if that helps.

 

[HunterG24]

sorry to say but I don't have them. However if my memory serves the averge "Marine in the Movies" stats was something like

WS 5 BS 5 S 5 T 5 W 3 LD Godlike
Armour 2+

Their Bolters also did a whole lot more than on the table top if I remember correctly.

Fulton, will this happiness from purchasing Dark Heresy land all of us here with some special bonus

Orders for flashpoint: Escort ships in the area are to lend what assitance they can to the Craftworld, but is not to engage if they face hopeless odds. if other fleets move to assist and engage the enemy, assist them in the combat to improve their odds.

 

[Fulton]

Flashpoint is up. Orders for Update 6 due Mar. 14.

Could I please sign up as Nova Roma, an Imperial Guard world?

Could I please sign up as Nova Roma, an Imperial Guard world?

Hi. I'd be pleased to have you aboard.

Unfortunately, there isn't room for an entirely new faction. However, the Imperial Lens Network is based on the worlds of Rome and Patavium, and are rather Roman themed. It was formerly run by a Space Marine chapter called 'The Legion' before they left on crusade and were bought by the Lens Network only a decade ago.

The Lens Network is the largest economy in the game, and has some strong allies, but has some food and resource problems.

The government is a unstable and corporate run, and the culture is not defined. I could engineer a coup that would see the Lens Network overthrown and the capital planet renamed. Since no culture has really been defined, you would have a pretty blank slate to work with.

There are also many other excellent factions available if you would like me to post a full listing.

 

[Yui108]

That one sounds great.

 

[Fulton]

Then welcome aboard! You'll want to talk to the Heirs of Guilliman, run by HunterG24, you're closest ally and the only thing keeping the Lens Network from falling, and your two trading partners, Vernith (a_propagandist) and the TTC (labrat13) your two major trading partners.

I'll be happy to help you with any questions. Also, PM me if you're happy to stay as the current corporate government, or whether you would prefer a coup. Note: a coup might occur on its own.

 

[labrat13]

So that's 250 per resource, right?

Just kidding, welcome aboard.

 

[Fulton]

Orders are now overdue.

I have orders from one person, labrat13, and he gave them to me on Monday.

 

[TerrisH]

I still have 2 hours by my count. orders in shortly.

 

[Fulton]

Good point TerrisH, I never did specify my timezone

Speaking of time, it is time for bed. I hope to begin the update either tomorrow afternoon of Sunday morning, depending on how my plans end up falling into place.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Really? I've had so many orders deadlines recently this one must have slipped through the cracks. I'll send orders tomorrow. Don't worry, I'm not doing much this turn, so you won't have to wait on me.

 

[Niklas]

Yeah, like Iggy this deadline was totally forgotten by me. I really appreciate 24h warnings (though I couldn't have had them in yesterday anyway...). I'll get them in during the day, sorry.

 

[Yui108]

Same Here, sorry. this is one complicated NES!

 

[Fulton]

Update will be delayed. Some unexpected personal problems are going to suck up a lot of my time this week until they are resolved. Sorry guys.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

It's alright, take some time to work things out...

 

[Niklas]

In my current situation I can't say I'm sad to see a slower pace...

 

[labrat13]

Hope things get sorted out for you.

 

[a_propagandist]

Ditto to the above comments.
