Last thread you moved to finally end the presence of chaos in this station and are currently embroiled in the bloody struggle for victory.

The loss of the ranger line shows across the field as slowly but surely the dark vanguards fall before the rapid strikes of the templars as chainswords whirr in the melee alongside the heavy squad splitting advances of captain oberon and his guard as terminators crush all before them.

As the templars advance you lose transfer to a more command centric role as you route vox information from the mechanicus channels to alongside the templar channel within your helm as you shout orders to initiates across the line as boltfire smacks into weakened portions of the line implanting dozens of shells into rust coated vanguards and warp touched ruststalkers.

But chaos it seems has not spent its full strength just yet as in a lightning flash an entire squad of templars and nearby skitarri are suddenly embroiled in a boiling bolt of warpflame as you snap your head above.

more warpflame bolts smack into the skitarri as from above the commander from the biologis comes with warpfire glowing from its skin as the titanic form falls.

the great heretek rears around knocking its own men aside in its movements as it towers above even astates in height.

A hole in its face rips open as a deafening screech erupts.

"YOU DARE DESTROYYY MYYY CREATTTIONS! I SHALLL HAVVEE YOURR FLESHHH INNN THE NAMMMEE OFF THE OMNISSSSIAH"
The mechanical lord screams out its howling demands in rage and hatred as it lifts is bloody axe and swings into the line.

The charge of the last priest reverberates through the line as blasts of damned sorcery sear through dozens of skitarri and roast your brothers in their own carapace as the wrath of the dark omnissiah radiates across the field in all ways as the damned vanguards move faster and harder as tesla weapons can be seen across the line sparking wildly as modified spears shoot deadly arcs as techno heresy shows itself in every thrust and swipe as even your brothers begin to have their pace slowed as armour shudders and cogitators slow under electric might.

as the battle devolves into the deadly blur before the renewed dark mechanicum you raise your bolter and roar orders our as you deliver as much fire into the priest as is possible as your shots impact into its metal hide as your commanded tactical squads fire their own bolters shattering the priests limbs and concentrating boltfire to end the beast.

however in response to the fire the warpfire bolts slow as a great psy shield erects itself as you find your barrages slowed and shells are blocked with growing frequency as more attention is spared by the beast to its life.

"BROTHER WULFRIK!"
Captain oberon shouts over the vox.
"Keep the priest harried and distracted while i and the brethren shall move to silence it!"

With a small affirmation over the vox you ready the bolter once more as you see the terminators crash towards the damned priest.

Letting loose a barrage searing shots leap across the field trailing smoke and fire as they slam into the shield and metal alike as the purple hue of the warp grows stronger with every blow as the shield gains to the attacks misfortune as every blocked blow is another tendril of lashing lightning lost from the priests enhanced blows.

as the priest turtles to block the sheer amount of bolt coming from both your own heavy bolter and the initates heavy and standard bolters alike the captain wages a bloody spear to the priest itself as meters are closed in minutes as power fists shatter blackened metal and demolish false symbols of chaos before the might of mankind alongside the captains own blows as his power swords rips heads and limbs off from bodies in rapid blows as cuts and weaves rip apart the skitarri as even the nimble ruststalkers seem like bumbling grox before the captains skill.

neverthless the captain closes and the priest gives up the illusion of strength as it ceases all offensive warpfire attacks and raises its axe to face the captain as the shield begins to completely block 9 of 10 shots coming its way.

The priest screams in binary and lowers its axe as the captain rolls out of the way and spears its arm ripping cogitators from inside as the honour guard bash into the side with the force of demigods.

The duel moves into a frenzy of movement and wrath as the captain's blade rips through metal and flesh alike with the disintegration field blazing in full intensity.

The Immaterium writhes and grows around the fight with every blow scored by your templar brothers as climaxing when oberon makes a daring play and weaves aside a great swing of the axe as it crashes tu the ground splitting mortal ears with the force of the blow oberon manages to cut his own blade into the priests chest ripping a bloodly hole through both symbols of the dark and the metal exterior as the innards of the beast are unleashed as warpfire blows from within as the daemontech is emerged and vunerable as oberon readies his sword a final time as his guard move to assist with fists charged.

The terminators smash like a hammer into the priests sides as metal buckles under the might of the sons of dorn fists burning with wrath and ruin as oberon moves to aid his brothers as his blows rain upon the beast with dozens of ruinous slashes ripping cogitators and servoes from the beast and further strikes ripping out at least one of its hearts as machine and flesh fly out in bloody spurts of gore as oberon delivers a brutal two handed blow directly to the beasts chest.

however no matter the might of the sons of dorn the priest has not finished its fight yet as it silences its shield as boltfire slams true across it but the monster manages to fulfil its aim as purple fire erupts across the priest as flesh knits back together and the baleful heat of the warp roars from the wounded orifices of the priest as its axe is raised from the ground now burning much as its wielder with the flame of the dark omnissiah as it is swung ready for vengeance and to bring death.

The air parts as the priest makes blows rain unto the field as within seconds oberon leaps to the best of his mobility out of a wrathful swing just for a brother terminator to catch the tail end as tons of heavy armour is sent flying back as the astartes flies in his armour by the force of the blow shooting across the field until he lands crushing skitarri underneath as his plate shudders open with his flesh with carapace cracked and right heart sliced into pieces.

as the first brother falls you move to aid alongside your kin as the barrage opens anew but now aided by incoming spurts of tesla fire as the chaos infantry begins to disintegrate from battalions into squads and now lone individuals standing alone against the loyal mechanicum.

the incoming barrage allows oberon and his guard the time they desperately need as swinging warp powered blows are either dodged with ease or set off course by your own personal bolter salvo as high explosives detonate on all parts of the priest as flesh and metal heals just out of range of the damage being done as plate and bone is slowly whittled down as oberon dodges and terminators attack to defeat the champion of the gods at his most deadly.

The smoke of the battle blooms ever higher as fire erupts in an inferno as boltshells hammer into the priest as his flesh desperately tries to heal but finds its quest in vain as dozens of boltshells not only find their marks but the end of the chaos forces brings the firepower of countless mechanical cohorts as across the field the priest swings his axe to finish brothers off as it bears down on their heads just for the catastrophic explosion to knock it back as the kataphron breachers score a direct hit sundering its plate completely and leaving the dark mechanicum priest once treasured implants molten slag burning into what remains of his flesh.

the long barrage bashes the beast into a corner as oberon slowly walks towards the monster dust slowly swirling beneath his steps.

"in the name of Dorn and He on terra i have come to purge your ilk and free mankind from the predations of your foul gods"
Oberon speaks as he strides and readies his blade as he rears it back and slices direct into the priests chest.

As the sword enters the feverish sound of warpfire roars across the field as all nearby brothers are blown under the force and the captain goes flying meters as he scratches the floor by the sheer force of the eruption.

as the smoke clears all that is left is the dimming eyes of the priests skull. denied glory it seems by any of its gods.

>that was a long station clear,OOC i will probably move to make things less complex in the future.

"that was a trying fight brother wulfrik"
"i agree wholeheartedly captain."
"dark eldar,tyranids,orks,chaos and now a valiant hit and run sabotage operation on the dark mechanicum truly sword brethren you can add quite a few notes onto your battle roll. Neverthless the purge has had many heroes and your squad certainly will be given time to resupply.However wulfrik i would like your view on the current state of affairs as from armageddon to the horrors of the vortex and now this station our current participation in the eternal crusade and now this imperial crusade has bled us to mere active 37 brothers and more than half the normal sized force wounded.
I need to ask you on what we should do next as your insights have proven of use on your own battlefield situations so far.

>Templars sprint back to the high marshal for resupply and more initates before rejoining the crusade.
>templars continue the subcrusade with diminished numbers and relegate yourselfs to squad level support assisting guardsmen and skitarri.
>templars fuck off back to the high marshal and then look for another crusade to join.

>both of the resupply options will allow you to pick that squire from earlier up and will allow potential chats with high up templars.
Pick one of the 3 choices above and then 2 of the below actions.


>Actions.-2 actions til arrival.
>pick a new book.
>inspect the armory-new shit potentially
>converse with the mortal serfs.
>inspect the chapter history-roll 1d100 and say an enemy type-Khorne,biel tan,iron warriors and possibly gain knowledge on them by researching previous engagements.
>speak with the chaplaincy.Purity is paramount.have yourself tested for loyalties and corruption-Takes 2 action slots.
>speak with the veterans-Which?-(techmarines,apothecaries,terminators.)
>assess the force strength of the templars.
>get in the training cages and ranges-Which?-Bolter range-devastator range-exotic weapon range-melee cages.
>Write in?-ill accept if its a reasonable choice for the situation.

Melee it is.

and for sake of brevity ill do the leadership speech option based on the roll too.

"leadership? wulfrk over the centuries of my service to the crusade i have seen many apiring initiates fall to whatever threat faces mankind that day.throughout the ages what steels a man for leadership is maintaining the hold over the spirits of your brothers and maintaining their faith in you to lead them but a leader also must accept what comes as even a setback or failing can be rectified for mortals life is fleeting and perishable but for astartes such as ourselves our fight ensures a place at the emperors side and no matter what remember that all your fallen kin are now with the emperor to serve eternally."

>melee cages.

"ah wulfrik that was a bloody fight cleansing the station."
"the training cages? they seem rather quite these days with the rate of fallen but in them your brothers seem to be fighting harder."
"apologies lord i seem to have spoken a tad too much.anyhow ignore this mortals thoughts please and ill open the gate."
>cage time spent.
>slowly gaining progress with swordplay.

im going to write choices and decisions in full on tomorrow and the weekend but hey heres the arrival at the fleet at least.
The immaterium flickers out of existence as the cruiser exits the hellish realm of the warp reality restarting itself in an instant as metal is slowly stretched into existence as bulkheads and hull form into the cold void.

as the purple rage of the warp fades sensors snap into action as the eternal crusader surges through orbit like a wolf shadowed constantly by a pack of stalwart cruisers and deadly escorts as gladius pattern frigates and firestorms watch all directions with cannons and lance watching your approach.

the great black bastion of the crusader shines through the view screens as the cruiser attaches like a pup to its mother a dwarf before the giant gloriana class.

You stand in the hall behind the captain as part of the last dozen sword brethren still alive and unwounded enough to stand guard as you stride behind the captain through the airlock and into the hangar of the crusader and your eyes spot your brothers as dozens of your kin stand at parade rest to receive you back from the eternal crusade.

Striding past your brothers oberon remains fixed at the rear of the room and soon your eyes follow his as well as standing at the rear is a man standing strong with what seems like hundreds of marks and medals on his plate and the signature crozius of the chaplaincy stands in his hand.

"Greetings Captain oberon i trust your crusade has been well?"
"our service to the emperor has been fulfilled for now chaplain Grimaldus but we return wounded and weakened."
"you are returning weakened but not yet defeated however Captain.Come now and share the tales of your victories your company can rest but the high marshal wishes to discuss your battles in detail."

With a single nod Oberon dismisses you as you follow the senior sword brethren as the procession is joined as full ranks of templars return to their duties leaving only a dedicated core leading you to solace and food.

>vote for name of the ship you use as im fed up of calling it "the cruiser."

>litany of Sigismund.
>fist of the templar.
>Rage of the praetorian.
>write in options allowed as im aware my naming sense is terrible.

Ooh I like this one, supporting

right there was a bit of distress today as the london euston train route was busted for most of the day and im absolutely knackered so im afraid no update tonight however i will maintain at least 2 tomorrow and sunday but i do have another vote.

Do you want to see Grimaldus and helbrecht chat with oberon?
Or do i just move and follow your own actions and leave the upper level decisions in shroud leaving all information to come from in character asking and explanations

>yes. do the damn leader scenes.
>no..follow what =wulfrik does.

>>3513865

>yes. do the damn leader scenes.

ill take that as unanimous without other votes and id quite like to stick to a consistent update rate.
Oberons chat first.

The incense soaked air parts as Oberon strides alongside the chaplain towards the heart of the crusade.
dozens of brothers are passed as they stand on parade with sword held in hand and bolter loosely held on leg ready to respond to any threat that may appear.

As the captain walks the display pleases him to see the vaunted discipline of the templars still holding within the walls of the eternal crusader.

Nevertheless parading is hardly what he sought to accomplish here and soon his aim is reached as the great black doors of the inner bastion rise to the ceiling as stone inscriptions on the door show all from the start of the templars with the banishment of Sigismund to the latest crusades and victories in his name.
The great door opens with a groan as Oberon strides in.
Ahead is a man coated with darkest black but interspersed by the gold and silver of medals and decorations.
turning to face Oberon the helmed head of the high marshal looks at the captain with a stoic gaze as he nods to grimaldus as the chaplain walks away and sits at the command table.
With a motion from the high marshal a oberon is seated as well as the high marshal walks over and sits in his stone throne laying his sword on his lap and opening his lips.

"captain Oberon i judge this is not a return bearing news of defeat?"
"never high marshal we have deployed and cut through the greenskins at Armageddon before we moved to face the daemons of the blood god followed by a ruthless siege of the dark mechanicum stronghold around a gas giant.
"we heard as much from nearby astropaths with Armageddon even as much as to receive a gift of equipment on request from forge world Metallica after your assistance in recovering their fallen titans."
"however high marshal our long crusade has left us at half strength with only 40 brothers active and 30 wounded"
"we suspected as much.how badly are they wounded?.
"some will just need time and an attentive apothecary however at least 6 with require cybernetics or cloned limbs."
"cybernetics it shall be and i shall personally order the techmarines on the crusader to do the operations."
"thank you high marshal."
"no this is service done due to the effectiveness of your company so far however the situation of your losses must be addressed.fortunately for you we have recently had a large round of ascension into the chapter and plently of fresh initiates require their first blooding i request that you take these initiates as combined with your blooded veterans they should shape themselves into true templars soon enough."
"it shall be done high marshal."
"in addition Captain while you are here i wish to know what you shall do with your company after?"
"we aim to rejoin the vortex crusade and avenge our fallen."
"good...thats good."
The high marshal grinds his teeth and thinks over for a moment.

while the high marshal thinks grimaldus pipes up.
"with the encounters with the daemonic your force has faced Oberon might you consent to a full cleansing of the marines who survived?"
"why is that needed our chaplain was attentive after all battles?"
"im afraid that even chaplains may become corrupt and there is never a thing of doing too little to cleanse the soul of daemonic corruption."
"very well chaplain do what you must."

The high marshal has life flicker back to life in his eyes as he stares at the captain once more.
"captain Oberon before you leave are there any who have shown promise within your company."
"A squad leader has recently been ascended to sword brethren and proceeded to greatly cause squad size sabotage and rapid destruction amongst enemy forces."
"a name captain?"
"sword brethren wulfrik it is and his recent actions show a hungering for something more.
"It is always good to hear of more brothers fighting Captain and proving fortunate in combat however with the combat records of your marines here there seems to be quite a lot of daring actions such as this 'Wulfrik' performing what amounts to a distraction that turned the tide of battle in this mechanicus station or you personally standing alongside and fighting against a lord of change."
"it has been a heavy campaign high marshal."
"i can see.Greater daemons are too strong a foe for a mere company and you are fortunate you had aid but i would dishonour the crusade if i did not let you leave capable to face the daemonic threat.
i shall assign 6 of my personal sword brethren to aid and train your company after its bringing to full strength."
"you honour us high marshal"
"yes i do now do not prove me wrong to give you this boon.stride forth and send the daemons and all other foes to the grave.
Go now Captain and bring judgement to the emperors foes."
With a nod Oberon rises as grimaldus leads him out of the bastion and towards the cleansing chambers."


>okay that was heavy to write and i hope its good.
please throw any valid criticism my way and ill post our actions and a choice later.

okay then its wufrik time.

Striding down the hall the plates of your brothers clank in unison as initiates and brethren descend into the bowels of the crusader.

Eventually though the group comes to a titanic set of doors as closer inspection reveals countless templar insignia and markings as the chapter words are inscribed in solid gold in the center.

as the door opens your senses are assaulted by sheer smell as you walk inside the hall.

hundreds of initiates sit in a titanic hall as a million varieties of food sit from the richest grox meat to purest Mjod from fenris.

At the far end of the call a marine stands and shouts in your direction.
"WELCOME WELCOME it is good to see our brothers returned! come sit! and eat for there is plenty to heal the exhaustion levied on your bodies in service to mankind."
The captains speech blurs your brothers into action as they split off and begin seating or talking to old friends as you decide to.

>sit with the squad and get some healthy reflection and bonding time with your brothers.
>go sit with the other sword brethren as they move to introduce themselves to the other sword brethren aboard the crusader. .
>sit near some other random squads and try to strike up a rapport.

>>3515981
sit with the squad and get some healthy reflection and bonding time with your brothers.

ill write the first update of today in about 3 hours if anyone wants to get their votes in unless ill just take the above vote as unanimous.

okay then brother time.

As serfs run around the great clanking noise of armour clashes against stone as you seat at the table removing helmet to speak directly.

your brothers also unclothe and amadiel turns to you as azikiel immediately grabs for a turkey.
"brother wulfrik what is it we are to do now?"
"brother amadiel we are presumably here to rest as was stated and recuperate to get ready to rejoin the crusade."
"sounds like a bit of a waste to me"
Azikiel pipes up with mouth half full."
"should have just made this a pit stop to pick up some of the new blood and got back to purging the traitor fucks."
ferron sends a glare azikeils way as he opens his mouth.
"lest you forget brother not all of us rely solely on blades.the techmarines are low on supplies and our vehicle pool has been woefully undersupplied not to mention our lack of simple bolt ammunition which we have been burning through."
Rolling his eyes azikiel responds.
"alright alright brother it just tires me that as soon as we face some proper foes and start slaying actual daemons we get relegated to the fleet while other chapters keep pushing."
Patreus speaks next.
"those other chapters brought battle barges brother and most of their chapter while all we had was the crucible of the imperium and its meager foundry capabilities."
Azikiel nods and lowers his head in agreement before pulling a nearby serf for directions to the training cages before turning back to the food.

"Besides that" amadiel speaks "brother wulfrik what exactly is it that you are aiming to do personally?"

>what are you doing/been told to do.


>oberon asked you to check the techmarines and organise and see what we can get assigned from the vehicle pool of the crusader.

>go check the initiation pools as your recent ascent to sword brethren usually entails taking a squire to train for the future initiation.

>inspect the reclusiam and chaplaincy for an overview of discovered equipment and what can be taken from the gloriana armory.

>check the crusaders library-surely the home of the templars will have more to offer than the crucible.

>go to the ranges yourself and train your skills.


>you can/will mostly be doing all of these but pick one so that i can choose what to do first.

>>3517150
Pick how many QM?
If just one then

>go check the initiation pools as your recent ascent to sword brethren usually entails taking a squire to train for the future initiation.

>>3517150
>oberon asked you to check the techmarines and organise and see what we can get assigned from the vehicle pool of the crusader.

>>3517169
pick as many as you want but ill grade votes in order of doing the choice however to make it meaningful some choices such as the squire will add more characters to other bits.

Check squire and look for new equipment

sorry guys ill have to quickly pass on an update tonight.
i can say that there will be a more in depth one in like of early yesterday tomorrow instead with the squire options but i checked my emails and i have a small exam in for tomorrow so im in cram mode.
sorry again.

The onyx halls of the crusader stand in stark contrast to the steel interior of the Crucible as millennia of artistry and mortal craftsmanship have forged the inner guts of the gloriana class into a masterpiece of templar glories.

the inscriptions however grow more slanted towards young glory as depictions of squires to initiates and battle worn neophytes grow more prevalent the closer you move to the apothecarion and neophyte bunks.

Nevertheless your feet soon take you to the bastion containing the squires and neophytes as you approach the sergeant as you sight the doors opening revealing the aged marine.

"Sergeant"
"brother?"
"i am sword brethren wulfrik i have to to complete my duty in swaying a squire and teaching him the ways of the chapter"
"very well then there are a few i suppose who are ready for the trials of open war.Do try and keep whichever you pick safe though."

Waiting outside the yells of the sergeant are accompanied by the rushing of feet as the sergeant presumably gathers the ready men.

>AN;i know i had you vote on squires a while back but with how long its been its going to be another pick vote to allow the current players and lurkers to see what character will be added to the squad.

Entering the chamber 3 strong neophytes stand tall with stoic faces ready for inspection as the scout sergeant stands with hands on sides by the wall.
"go ahead sword brethren converse and pick which shall be honoured in the eternal crusade."

>squire Barachiel
The squire stands strong with green eyes and broad shoulders as he stares unflinchingly into your helm.
"Sword brethren"
the sergeant pipes up.
"this is squire barachiel hes a wily one to be sure who cant seem to grasp the basics of silence all the time.he was a feral worlder from contraxis IV before recruitment by chapter keep.he has had numerous conflicts with other outspoken brothers and even initiates in the feasting hall over tasks he fails to completely fill or does differently according to his mind.
However he seems to be good enough on the range and melee cage and has lead his brothers through the sims multiple times with higher than average scores."
over the course of his overview the boy clenches his fists over his faults but maintains a solid face and deferential appearance besides.

>squire Kadmiel
The boy stands slightly slouched with eyes of a dark pallor unlike his bleached ghostish skin.
"squire kadmiel here comes from holy terra itself and was rectruited by the templars during a lower hive purge during a resupply run to mars as we were alled upon to aid forces in the hives as our progenitors were near cadia at the time. Nevertheless the boy seems to have a perculiar grasp of the more menial tasks of the crusade as takes to literature like a rabid ork to a fight as he absorbs all from tactics to protocol in days.However his book knowledge has not been peerless as his tendency to overthink things has lead his squad in the sims to be destroyed by enemy artillery due to failing to manuver in time or simply be caught off guard by an enemy advance." as the boys description is read his eyes wince over his failings in practical knowledge and his back slams higher to proper parade position when his orgins are read.

>squire Pathiel
The final neophyte stands tall as well but his arms are coated with ecclesiastical symbols and the templar cross is seared into his palms.
"squire Pathiel here was taken from a corrupted sororitas coven as the sisters there engaged in thrift and greed as the canoness fell to ostentatious decoration letting the people of alexandros III starve under the higher imperial tithe.
when investigations lead to the corruption we were called and the 16th company erased the corrupt and gathered the young for sanctification.
Pathiel here however was checked with our cellular examination to be found free of taint and geneseed compatible and so was taken for the chance of glory and service to the imperium.
Over his youth he has been devoted to what he sees as the true faith and has frequently fought with his brothers over their holding of personal possessions as he views sentiment for objects as contrary to the templar oath
Neverthless he is a combat beast in the sims

so far and has put the most impressive record of bolter shots in at the neophyte range in over two centuries.
however while his combat performance is good his radical devotion to the god emperor and personal creed have left him lacking in connecting with his kin unlike the other two.
As the explanation is given the youth stands strong throughout and upon looking at him after he gazes direct into your eyes and motions a sharp nod and chest salute.

>pick one lads but think carefully.
>ill be on all this evening so if a write in for more info is needed ill be more than happy to inform.

>>3520254
Hmm
I'd go for either Kadmiel or Barachiel, one for tactical insight and the other for more straight up fights.

Can we ask the squires questions? Like interview style?

>>3520309
as i said sure just post a question and ill try my best to reply.
ill check hourly for posts tonight until 11.

"i fight for the star father of course sir! To bring blood and vengeance to his foes is my purpose in the void sea!"

"I wish for both as the star father made us to bring glory with our deeds and win victories in his name!"

"i am a squire sir and shall learn from your example devotedly and bring all my sweat and blood to all the foes we face!"

>kadmiel.

"for the preservation of man of course sword brethren! there is no higher honour than preserving mankind amongst the dark stars."

"i wish for victory sir as only through constant movement can we overcome and crush these long lasting foes of man!"

"Sword brethren i am ready to learn from your orders! but right now i could maybe speak up about suggestions if you wanted? other than normal squire duties none of us are full marines yet sir"

"i fight to spread the word of the god emperor and enlighten all those who have devolved into heresy as i fight with the heart of a angel of the emperors word and will."

"i wish to bring glory to mankind as only though deeds and will can we win mankind into the emperors light and see all those who appose us crushed under faith and steel"

"other than squire duties i have kept up with my accliesiarchal knowledge.If asked sir i could recite all the teaching of the leticio divinitatus right now if you wished and i am ready to speak of the emperors light whenever or to whoever from tribal savages to corrupt nobles you wish."


>AN-squires are just un geneseeded scout marines so they have all the implants except the carapace to give them plate.

in case i didnt highlight the prominent parts in the chatter ill sum up what you can USE them for outside of combat where they are equivalent to a tag along karskin or stormtrooper-the kids have spent 3 decades or so training and are still young due to astartes physiology.

Barachiel-aspiring sergeant-melee focused-primitive but eager speaker.

Kadmiel-strong mind and potential to become something more however origins of being born to a terran underhive clerk family means he is not great at personal initiative just yet.

Pathiel i think i got across hes the classic diplomat of the imperium with heavy messiah complex in the emperor and wishes to enlighten men to the "true path" so really good at speaking and fighting however mental stability and beliefs are a bit Interesting so to say.

>>3520811
Pathiel has the most interesting background so I will vote for him

>>3520254
squire Kadmiel i vote for this one
Can grow into a creed and all the other fighting stuff can be learnt .

>>3520811
Hmm I'd go for Kadmiel, we can shape his growth into a fine tactician and strategist

ive got the day off tomorrow for revision so ill let any last votes come in overnight before i write in the morning.

alright then kadmiel it is.

"T-Thank you lord templar i promise to honour your will"

With a nod to the scout sergeant the boy follows along behind you willingly as you return back through the halls.

> quick choice due to deadlock earlier.

>vehicle pool requisition.

>reclusiam and chaplaincy for weapon requisition
>ill update again today more in depth after you choose.

>>3523842
>reclusiam and chaplaincy for weapon requisition

The rest of the squad is with us I assume

>>3523951
+1

>>3523951
the rest of the squad will follow into the chaplaincy along with the squire however actual command chat will be personal within the reclusiam.
ill start writing at 10 and post around 11 the full writing and another vote

one last exam in three weeks however writing should keep to a consistent schedule until and after it.thanks for hanging on and heres the update.

The smell of incense clouds the nose are lingers on the skin as you and your brothers stride towards the sanctified halls of the chaplaincy.
The plodding of your feet is not only joined by your trusted squad of kin but now by the frantic running of kadmiel as the squire sprints to match your steps.
Eventually however much like the passage to the initiation chamber the chaplaincy begins to show their presence through symbols and art of purging and the sanctity of mankind as well as the purity of the soul.

Entering the great stone doors of the chaplaincy before you lies dozens of your brothers as chaplains sprint about performing rites and laying purity seals upon the flesh.
Upon entry a serf runs at a dead sprint towards you and directs you to the cleansing chambers as you enter and leave your plate for the first time in months.
The harsh shock of electricity sparks over your body as your neurons are fried in seconds leaving even the bodily might of an astartes irrelevant as you fall to the floor shocked and with slowly closing eyes.

"brother!"
"brother!"
"Brethren wulfrik Stand to attention IMMEDIATELY!"
The jolting shout shocks you up as the chaplain looks you over from beside.
"you are awake then brethren and much to your fortune we have found little taint on your plate or flesh.
However just because no taint was found does not render you above censure.
Wulfrik your actions and retrieval of numerous items from a vengeance launcher now carried by your brother amadiel to your own recovered blade have shown a disturbing tendency of yours to take items without proper cleansing rights.
We advise you to follow procedure in the future wulfrik as there are worse things skulking on relic weapons than mere rust and dust."

With the chaplaincy sated and your brothers finishing their own inspections you follow and enter than main recluisiam and the attending chaplain directs you to what the company is allowed to take.

Pick 5 weapons only but this is for the Whole company and not just the squad however something can be wielded.assigned to a specific brother if a roll later is passed ,

>to clarify if you want to just get 5 power swords thats fine but you can mix and match with 2 power swords and a thunder hammer and also 2 relic armours and so on so forth.

>options-take 5 weapons MAX but may have multiple of one category.

>power swords.
>relic blades-roll 1d100 for quality if picked and roll again depending on number picked.

>power mauls
>incinerator pattern flamer
>volkite cannon>roll 1d100 to see if the chaplain can even be convinced to let you take it.
>grav cannon
>grav weapon-tactical marine sized.
>a missile launcher?
>a.....a heavy webber?
>multi-melta cannon.
>multi melta tactical sized weapon.
>MK 2 Great crusade armour.
>MK 3 Horus heresy armour.

In addition ill ask right now where you want to go next so i can write the update out over today and publish about 10pm ish.

>vehicle bay-for requisitioning some good rides.

>>3530269

>training/sword brethren chambers.
I was rolling for relic blade quality and volkite cannon acquistion success.

>>3530269
Yeah I was rolling fir relic blade quality as well
>training/sword brethren chambers.

Alright good just making sure.
passed out just dead on my feet last night so heres the update a bit late.

The reclusiam opens its gates and its bounty is revealed as the chosen weapons are revealed for examination.

Firstly the crackling fire of thunder sounds as you smash the hammer into the target.the great weight is naught to an astartes as the twin handed hammer devastates the concrete target with reinforced ceramite coverings doing naught to stop the disintegration field and the brutal punch of the hammer.
Placing the weapon down you examine it and find all up to spec from the central heraldry of the templars etched into the hammer end to the engravings of deeds done in the handle

Next the grav cannon is brought for examination as on the ranges serfs ready a plethora of mock targets from cultists to even a metal mockup of a Ork machine.
With a flick of the safety you fire the beam of the cannon and in response the cultist is surrounded by the field and short swings of the cannon force it to follow as it floats seemingly unopposed by physics.
With another flick you turn the cannon on repulse mode as within milliseconds the cultist is launched backwards and smashes through the warmachine and bashes a hole behind into the range walls with the sheer force unleashed by the cannon.
Further testing reveals the grav cannon as being more of a thether and then launch weapon as apposed to more creative interpretations and its weight limit is about the size of a mock wraithguard or hive tyrant.

The next round of testing involves the vaunted storm shield as the terminator favoured defence is subjected to it being a target instead as bolt turrets raise from the floor and fire at the shield down the range.
The shield takes no issue and eats hundreds of bolts without issue either bouncing them off or simply being too hard to pierce.
The turrets spool down as the next weapon is brought out.

The relic blade is a true masterpiece indeed and burned residue show that the blade even may have had a long service outside templar hands as well.
nevertheless gold engravings of sigismunds oaths cover the handle and litanies cover the blade as you move and grasp it.

Targets raise again but this time limited servitor intelligence allows movement as you dash onto the field.
with a single swipe you cut through solid meters of reinforced steel and ceramite as the first blocky target is bisected in seconds.
following up the first servitor is decapitated in quick succession followed up by his soon dead kin as the blade feels less a blade and more an extension of yourself.
After testing is over and the chaplain speaks it is reveals that the monster of a blade has backup and multiple disintegration fields inbuilt with lost knowledge.

The last round of testing is what seems to be a holy experience for all devastators to experience as the grandfather of heavy arms is brought with the volkite cannon glowing with greenish yellow markings.
holding it is like a genetic reflex as it settles into your hands like an old friend and the slow rising of targets allows the machine spirit to rise and begin hungering for use.
aiming the cannon is simple and effective however your finger reaches the trigger and the wrath is unleashed.
with scarcely a second passed the meters thick bastion of concrete and ceramite is gone from existence with nothing but rubble remaining as the shot soared from the barrel and breached into the center of the target before unleashing its thermal energy and blasting rubble countless directions as the target is erased from existence.
The searing heat of the subthermal cannon is deadly indeed and soon flesh targets are brought onto the range for testing as the refuse from the feasts onboard is before you for destruction.
with a single pull the refuse is erased as all you see before impact is every single part of the outside meat and vegetation catching aflame at once before the entire range bursts into light as multiple tons of material is burning in an instant and the searing heat blows nearby serfs over as they run to cover searing their flesh as well.

the volkite arm is the best thermal arm mankind has produced and its shots seem almost like a handheld nuclear arm as its deadly effects erase all before it.
truly only the fact that these are so rare is all that has stopped mankind from achieving its dominance already.

With a nod to the chaplain and rangemaster you leave the reclusiams private range and with brothers falling in behind you move towards.

>the devastator ranges with amadiell
>the tactical ranges with the rest of your brothers for blade and bolt work.
>the neophyte range to teach kadmiel your experience.

>>3532542
Teach the noob

>>3532542
>the neophyte range to teach kadmiel your experience.

Let me tell you of Armageddon and then the Blood Ravens

neophyte range it is.
probably start a new thread soonish.

"kadmiel,Come"
your brothers split off as your squire follows along.
"w,,,where are we going?"
"we are going to the training cages squire.it is time for you to prove your skills and learn by example."

Entering the black halls nearing the cages the sounds of clashing steel and mauled plate sing from the various rooms as brothers spar and test themselves in a constant advance of skill.
With words to the standing sergeant you enter a spare cage and draw your own blade as you pass a training sword to the squire.
"now listen up kadmiel.i shall run through proper blade form to begin with.follow my stance and form."
time slips into hours as constant practice drills the importance of stances into kadmiels mind and even begins to respond well to light testing as when you swing your blade 7 of of 10 times he manages to assume the correct stance to block or deflect the hit.
Soon though the training sergeant comes through and asks you to leave as you walk with your tired squire out and towards the vehicle pool.

>its requisitioning vehicles for the Crucibles inventory next.
>send tired squire back to your chambers?
>yes
>no

>ill be probably updating morning as i have been at least for this week.

>>3534907
>Bring squire

I want to hear his comments on vehicle selection

>>3534907
>>its requisitioning vehicles for the Crucibles inventory next.
bring squire along to learn about vehicles i doubt a training and a stroll to garage can make him exhausted

One last update before new thread tomorrow it seems.

Entering the realm of the techmarines the sacred smell of incense is now clouded by the lingering scent of oils and grease as servo skulls fly constantly between stations of one techmarine or another as mechadentrites form a metal forest of countless limbs raised to the sky as thunderhawks and other vehicles are fixed and sanctified.

After a short conversation with a nearby brother priest he directs you to the master of the forge.

"Master.i was informed that i and my brothers may take what can be spared from the crusader."
"you presume correctly sword brethren.your vehicles that were damaged are currently under repair and should be ready soon.neverthless here is a dataslate on what we can spare.

>once more like the reclusiam there are a variety of vehicles for use by the company however unlike the reclusiam you may have 8 points however an exotic vehicle will take 2 points instead of one.

>VEHICLES WITH COSTS.

>Rhino-1pt
"a R..hino sir?" kadmiel states."well its the backbone of our active mobility on the field and what allows us to strike fast on the field and provides enough armour to stop most foes from killing the squad inside."

>predator-1pt
"predators? a predator sir is like the astartes equivalent of a leman russ guard tank isnt it?
They allow for long range attrition warfare but mostly are unsuited for full scale tank attacks due to being deployed in few numbers."

>razorback-1pt
"a razorback? they would be our equivalent to a mortal hellhound Wouldnt they? they allow for close range fire support with a variety of addons and work off the rhino chassis but sacrificing transport space for the gun."

>land raider-2pt
"A land raider! truly the epitome of our ground forces sir! from my reading i heard they are the true spearheads of any full scale fight bashing aside anything in their path under sheer firepower while also carrying a deadly cargo of our kin ready to attack all who come close!"

>thunderhawks-both transport and gunship-2pt
"thunderhawks! they are our primary method of getting down from orbit to bring the emperors fury to our foe! with a plethora of available guns and variants any chapter can be equipped to face any foe in an instant as both close range fire support can crush the rabid orks so can rapid transport ability allow us to avoid the ravenous hordes of the tyranids."

>This is not the full selection guys.
>you can vote for a land raider redeemer or so such but this is about what you are looking for as a 'pricing' guide.
>you can also specify configuations or variants to spec the Crucibles inventory to specialise against killing chaos.
>hell you could probably vote for a sicaran battle tank if you so wished the Crusader is an OLD ship.


>WHAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE IN VEHICLE INVENTORY
>remember you are ADDING more vehicles to this but this is what the company currently has.

>6 rhinos
>2 predators.
>8 transport thunderhawks
>2 standard/attack thunderhawks.
