Brothers.

>>18254920
The Partridges. I wondered when you would deem to appear. You were conspicuously absent for much important discussion. I do not blame you, however, as the Imperium rarely grants traitors amnesty, especially immediately before inviting them to Terra.

>oh man. It took the last thread an hour or so to get really rolling. In the meantime, a bump for Imperial Law.

>Roleplaying thread?
Can I be the Fabricator-General?

>>18254947

Traitors?

Need I remind you Warmaster, that my glorious Partridges have saved the Imperium countless time.

Just ask Logan.

>>18255047
>Sure as hell can, good sir

>>18255056
Indeed. Seeing as the Space Wolves have themselves sent representatives themselves, including Great-Venerable Bjorn, the Fell-Handed, perhaps they would like to testify to your chapters character, or not?

We are all allies here though; if we do not find the path to victory, no one will. My Guardsmen hold hold the line, but the might of the Guard is not enough to save the Imperium, just as the strength of the Astartes alone would be insufficient, or that of the AdMech, the Ecclesiarchy, or indeed any institution. Only together can we assure the future of Humanity

My, my. For a room that has representatives of the Astartes, all the Adeptus and every single one of our allies...

It sure is quiet in here.

>>18255047
>please do, we were missing one last time around

Fellow servants of the imperium, it is good to see you all once more. There is much to discuss.

Have our efforts to reclaim the shipyards borne fruit?

>>18255325
>Goddamn it all (Angry Marine mode activate) I WANT A VERITABLE FUCKING METROPOLITAN FUCKING BUSTLE IN HERE DAMMITALLFUCKSHIT /TG/

I am ready my lords. Also please forgive my absence from the other meetings, had to deal with the 13th black crusade.

*sigh* That fool never learns.

>>18255325
>and every single one of our allies
see? There is your problem

>>18255359
At least they are wasting heir time and troops on a fortress world instead of raiding hives and forgeworlds.

>>18255337
Little enough, as it seems the forces who held many of them were Khornate warbands... There isn't much the Guard can do, until the Mechanicus manages to send the necessary techpriests. Frankly I chaff under the collar when it comes to certain strictures concerning technology. Perhaps if the Mechanicus would train some worthy Guardsmen in even the most basic reparations of industrial tech, we could already have several docks functioning. As it is, we have claimed only one serviceable dock thus far.

And to open up the floor again to discussion about the Throne's failure, there is an Inquisitor here who wishes to speak on the subject.

>>18254897
>imminent failure of the Throne

Because this threat doesnt exist.

>>18255416

True, true.

Still necrons, eldar and tyranids destroy enough worlds.... Dont even get me started on orks.

It is like whole universe against us.

>"Vengeant"

Excuse me?

I have arrived.
What is the first issue up for debate? I certainly hope we can accomplish something tonight.

>>18255369
>oh man, I'm lost on this one.

>>18255449
>ah, but it is. I like something you don't like, will you rage or sage?

>>18255464
Trust me, it is. If there's one thing I've seen in my meagre centuries, it's that the galaxy is almost sentient in its violence towards mankind. The Imperium as we know has been and will continue to be one massive, failing holding action. For ten thousand hears we have been fighting an unwinnable war against eternal adversaries with insufficient knowledge and materials. Our duty is to make do with what we have. You understand this, and it is why you are such and exemplary commander. Rest assured that, thought the universe conspires against us, we will yet prevail.

It is clear that we must work on the golden throne at once, and three clear courses of action have presented themselves so far.

We can fund explorator fleets and send them off to search for lost STC patterns that will allow the mechanicum to repair the throne, the mechanicum can start their own research program to find new ways to repait the throne, or we can provide the mechanicum with samples of eldar technology so that they may use these to fix the throne.

I will support any of these three, but would rather avoid relying on the third option, as the eldar are notoriously untrustworthy and their technology is closer to sorcery and warp tech then conventional technology.

I would also remind everyone present that my department may begin a selective psyker breeding program, but I will not start it without your approval.

Greeting. I am here to report the thievery of several relics from worlds in the Arcean system.

>>18255528
Hail and well met. Now that we hold a quorum of present lords, let us begin with our respective plans to secure and fortify the eastern fringe against the Tyranid menace.

>>18255560

You praises honour me but i do nothing, except sending countless brave men to send to darkest corners of this miserable and rotten galaxy, to their deaths.

I do what i must, what is asked of me. Still if this İmperium is to live, something has to be done.

>>18255613
Action must be taken in the eastern fringe, yes.

But not against the menace you speak of, some of my sources have reported whole worlds spiralling down into chaos, their populations left in despair while the tyranid menace approaches them. Whole cities and regiments are allready joining chaos cults.

Action must be taken

>>18255563
>We can fund explorator fleets and send them off to search for lost STC patterns that will allow the mechanicum to repair the throne.

About that...
The Imperial Navy may not have the resources or the manpower necessary to fund such wide-reaching ventures.

There is always the option of issuing increasing numbers of Warrants of Trade and allowing the Civil Fleets take up the task, but so much power in the hands of an individual with so little direct regulation tends to breed corruption, treachery and self-servedness, which if I'm not mistaken is exactly the kind of thing we're trying to stamp out.

What are your opinions on the matter?

>>18255563
Perhaps, the technology to repair the Throne lies on Terra itself. Was it not the Primarch Rogal Form whom the Emprah entrusted with the knowledge to construct the Throne? Perhaps access to Imperial Fist records could shed light upon the subject when combined with new research. Also, there is a disturbing trend in the recent reports of the traitor blasphemously called the Voice of the Emperor. It seems this being is drawing closer to Segmentum Solar. This still remains a periphery issue for now, but he has a tendency of rendering even my best Guard units inoperative.

>>18255656
>lost my name there for a second

>>18255656
Randomly blast a Rogue Trader or two out of space every year or so. Keep them on their toes, I say.

>>18255641

I am well aware of these threats. I think despair is the key word here. Give them hope, and they shall fight to very end. Lie to them if you must, but give them something thats is worth dying for, other than simple faith in a being they barely know of.


My lords, my apologies but i must take my leave. Urgent matters concerning the safety of İmperium demands my attention. I will leave my aide here so he may take notes and inform me later.

Farewell my lords.

>>18255659

You are talking about desecrating the most holiest of holy places, if we search on Terra, it must be done with utmost care and with only the most faithfull and trustworthy searchers.

>>18255641
Why have the arbites not dealt with this issue before it got so out of hand? Either the arbites on the eastern fringe are incopetent, or some hostile force is actively instigating chaos cults.
Either way, we do not have the resources to deal with both the heretics and the tyranids. Let them take the brunt of the tyranid offensive and then mop up what's left.

>>18255659
And, what do the imperial fists have to say on this issue?

>>18255712
Excellent, I will start moblising behind the lines of the rebellious worlds, and mop them up the moment the tyranids pass.

>>18255656
Oh God-Emperor, anything but the Rogue Traders. Give the civil captains commissions, requisition the ships and crews, raid xenos shipyards, ANYTHING but make more of those blustering piles of Ambull shit.

>>18255641
>>18255613
In due time. Other forces must also be readied if we are to return to the Damocles Gulf and the eastern fringe. For now we will increase conscription tithes from Ultima Segmentum. I am also giving orders to open negotiations with several Xenos-conflicted worlds, in order to begin drawdowns on Guard forces on these planets. Finally, I have decided to purge our officer ranks of incompetence. Now, generals who throw away men and materials in needless assaults and wasteful campaigns will be relieved of command and replaced with competent men, trained under the supervision of both Guard and Astartes teachers and proven in combat before being given a command.

I understand your concern for your men, and I share it. But the death of many men is, regrettably, the price of humanity's survival as a whole.

>>18255743
While catching the tyranids between chaos and our own fleets would be preferable, as this would grant us a chance to recover our worlds after both enemies have been defeated, I find your strategy acceptable.
The optimal situation would be to let the tyranids fight chaos while we chip away at their numbers from the opposite side, thus keeping the swarm engaged at two fronts.
Then, we reclaim our worlds from chaos, execute the heretics and reastablish order.

>>18255743
If you just let the Tyranids conquer the rebelling worlds, they will take losses, surely, but they will be more than compensated by the biomass gained.
If you are to go through with this plan, you must strike the moment the traitors fall, preferably just as they begin the harvest.
If my knowledge of Tyranid strategy is correct, most of their combat units will have been converted to harvest biomatter, and this advantage might prove crucial.

>>18255712
>>18255743
Unfortunately, we cannot afford to allow the Hivefleets to devour so much Biomass. Only the combined might of the Imperium could hope to withstand such an invasion. Alternatively, we could simply exterminatus those worlds in enemy hands, depriving the Tyranids at the same time as crushing the separatists.

>>18255823
Ah yes. You are very wise sir, I will surely ready my troops they will be able to strike them the moment it needs to be done.

I might need the assistance of an astartes chapter are there chapters availeble and willing?

I come at your call, Warmaster.

>>18255823
This requires a surgical level of precision and the knowledge of which worlds are struck at the moment they are attacked. A few days too early and our fleets meet either heretic fleets or the full strength of the Swarm, too late and they find a barren world with nothing left of either faction.

>>18255954
I have allready sent purely devout and thrutworthy assets of my own, who are willing to do my bidding in the hell that will be created when those worlds become besieged by the tyranid menace. They will prepare and send a signal to me a day before the moment I need to strike. They will be sheltered in an underground complex, defended by 50 of my most loyal stormtroopers, whom only will attack when the beasts find their hideout.

Greetings Gentlemen,

I arrived late last week due to an overload of paperwork which meant I promptly fell asleep in the war room.

Ah paperwork....without it the Imperium would surely fall apart.

Anyway, where was I?

>>18255954
I belive I may be of assistance here.
You should all be at least somewhat familiar with the precognition psyker ability. Unfortunately, the information gained in this manner is of questionable reliability and low precision, but I belive I have found way to filter out the information provided by our precognitive psykers.

The new method I am developing relies on the techpriests of the logis division - my precognitive psykers would provide them with information, and then they would use this information to predict certain events in the future.
It is a simple concept, really, the psykers provide raw information and the logis techpriests analyze and make sense of it all.

If this method proves to be precise enough, we may be able to predict when and where to strike at the tyranids.

The method has numerous other uses and could help us out a great deal if it proves succesful, but we must be weary of the ruinous powers, they may or may not be able to throw off our precognitive scans unless we rely exclusively on the emperor's tarot.

>http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Logis#.T1ksQXnwGn8

>>18256000

Surely such precision is impossible when using the warp as a means of communication and travel.

The far too often time warping effects of the warp play havoc with sorting paperwork in the correct order. Epecially on the Eastern Fringe where direct corroboration with the Astronomicon is near impossible and at best a class 3 or 4 check digit on the date.

>>18256099
>>18256072
My lords, I must say I have precious little knowlegde of the powers of these 'psykers'. You must pardon me in that I shall merely follow your debate. Will both of you advice me on this matter?

On a different topic, has anyone had word of those missing relics? The relics lost are a hammer used by a chapter master of the Marines errant, whit that hammer, he killed a deamon champion. Also a bolter which had been used by Rogal Dorn, or so it is said, is suposed to be lost.

>>18256072
Surely Chaos could not intrude upon Terra itself? Could the Emperor's light be used to shield such an endeavor?

>>18255795
Why dont we do that? Or rather, give out warrants to some people who we believe could put them to good use. I can think of a few Marshalls myself that i havent been able to get good positions, even though they're damn good officers, just not as good as ones i already have stationed. A few of them having Trade Warrants, ships they could buy themselves with what i've been paying them, they could do some good. Maybe set some of the newer Inquisitiors that've been failing us up with those Trader papers too. Hell, i think we could all think of some subordinate we could either do without them being so close, but know them useful enough to not eliminate.
>>18255712
I take offence to that remark, my agents are doing the best they can with what they have, it isnt my fault that chaos cults have starting to spring up on smaller worlds. The Arbite precinct houses there would only number 3-4 judges At Most, the question being is why hasnt the planetary governers, Enforcers, and the Inquisition been dealing with it before they got to this level?

>>18256160
Surely there are more important matters to turn our eye to? Such relics are at best a minor morale boost or a small contribution to our dwindling knowledge of Great Crusade weaponry.

>>18256198
We belive the emperor's light and the numerous wards we use would provide a great deal of protection, but we have no means to test the full extent of this.
After all, the primarchs were stolen from the labs on Luna, and influencing a few visions seems like a lot less work.
In the end, all we can do is put our faith in the emperor and perform to the best of our ability.

As the grand provost marshal of the Adeptus arbites, I apologise for my tardiness. An assistant of mine had written down the starting hour of this meeting incorrectly. He is being punished for this as we speak.

I am still reading through the logs of what has been said already, so please excuse my momentary silence.

>>18256262
Imposter! Guards, seize him!

>>18256160
There are many artefacts that have been lost through the ages. If the bolter as used by Lord Dorn himself is found and its authenticity verified then we would be very blessed to have such a holy relic in our possession.

My own knowledge of psykers is mostly limited to understanding they are both necessary and dangerous to the Imperium. They are capably of amazing feats and terrifying witchery. I am sure the esteemed Lord Adeptus Astra Telepathica can answer any of your questions.

>>18256198
I'm sure as long as we have faith in the Emperor, He will protect us. However, I am sure many of us know of the nightmare of the Wars of Apostasy and there are fragments of information about Choas on Terra around the forming of the Empire but their authenticity cannot be verified and everything else has been sequestered by the Inquisition in their noble wisdom, of course.

>>18256233
Giving an Inquisitor a greater mandate of personal power is my last desire. I mean no offence to the Most Holy Inquisition, of course. Perhaps what must done is to concentrate on those worlds most valuable to us, and to exterminatus or ignore the rest. In this way we could focus our assets in a meaningful way,

>>18256270
>>18256262
What warpcraft is this?

>>18256283
The Emperor blesses those who help themselves. As I've mentioned previously, there is a possibly intact functional STC on the once warp storm stranded system of Lupa 359. I advocate going there as soon as possible.

>>18256290

None taken.

>>18256233
>Woops. last time I was the Grand Provost Marshal. I apologise. Damn, now I have to find a new role...

>>18256283
I have gotten reports from as much as 18 systems stating they lost their precious artefacts. It mostly concerns weapons and armor. Little else is stolen, but someone MUST look into this.
>>18256270

Please mylord no fighting in here.

>>18256290

I am inclined to agree with you Warmaster General. I however have a proposal.

While the idea of more Rouge Traders is one that I am not entirely comfortable with, if they could be curbed by the presence of the Commissariat.

This would require the folding of them within the military arm of the Estate Imperium, losing their civilian status.

The increase in the number of Commisars could be ofset by taking the children of the noble houses of those in the path of the Tyranid menace and enrolling them in branches of the Schola Progenium. It might cause the houses to rebel if they are lacking in faith but they are to be subject to exterminatus or the Tyranids anyway.

>>18256314
I support this endeavor. I am willing to assign some of my best astropaths and most resilient sanctioned psykers to ensure the success of the mission.

>>18256160
Is there anything in particular that you wish to know, lord general?

My apologizes for the Tardiness, I had to Summarily Execute at least a dozen people to get my medication.

Please excuse me a moment while i catchup on this GODDAMN HUGE FUCKING WALL OF TEXT

>>18256290
Think of it less as the person and more about the operation. We need men flying outside the bounds of our borders to search for this last artifacts of ages past, or whole lost imperial worlds.

It also grants us an opportunity to honor a person for their service, without losing someone Too valuable that are more needed Here. We choose the men that've had to have been passed up for promotion, or shown a certain lack in something we need in our highest officers.
I daresay even in your case, some Astartes may be close to Company Captains, but you have your Captains already. It's highly irregular to grant a Space Marine a Warrant, but, this could possibly be a large boon, think of the publicity, and with a lesser chance of them turning against us. Perhaps we should consider the Salamanders or some of their branched off chapters, they have families that can continue that Dynasty should the Astarte ever fall, or are especially needed.
>>18256298
I Dont know, how could he have possibly made it past the checkpoints if h-
>>18256262
Waitaminute.

Master of Assassins, is that you? You got my beard wrong, i trimmed it mid transit here. Your intel wasnt as good as you thought, maybe the plants you had aboard my vessel were, Caught?

>>18256361
Is it possible for a declaration be prepared that revokes the power of the rebellious nobles. If we can strip these noble families of their soldiers and fortune it can surely strenghten my strikeforce in that sector, the strikeforce that will Crush the Tyranid thread to the Eastern Fringe

>>18256375
Fuklaw good to see you here, I might need your assistance in crushing a rebellion/tyranid threat in the Eastern Fringe, are you and your marines willing to help me during my campaign?

>>18256375
Welcome, commissar Fuklaw. The commissariat has been a great aid in the plans of placing watchful agents on the border worlds checking on the local governor.
I have recieved reports of many covert cults having been routed out because of the reinforced vigilance.

>>18256385


I harbor doubt that an Officer of Imperial Law could operate in any such "Rogue" status. I fear we would simply be creating an agent who would quash potential...unorthodox opportunities under their boot, rather than nurture them.

>>18256386

It seems that even if we declare any noble stripped of power, most will lose their faith and require force to enact our decree. Usually, we threaten the Adeptus Astartes and that makes most nobles willingly pay an increased tithe of men.

I am talking about simply taking their children under some other pre-text such as the Black Ships or some such. We want to reduce the chance of rebellion by simply not telling the planetary governors anything

>>18256423
Give me a moment, Lord Commissar Raege is currently forwarding the latest Reports.

Due to the intensity of the Training We unfortunately have an UNGODLY AMOUNT OF FUCKWITS DYI-... that are unable to maintain the level of Faith require to survive.

>>18256385
Hmm. It seems to be so.

I apologise for this little prank. Not much interesting has happened since last meeting, and I had gotten bored of filing through paperwork.

Back to business... For the golden throne, I believe it is best to let the high magos study the golden throne under watchful eye as to try and replicate and improve the technology. I will not allow any modification until extensive testing though, and will personally execute any overzealous tech priest that tries.

>>18256438I find it as no surprise that you would be amicable toward unorthodox opportunities, but the Law is the LAW, as put forth by the Great Book Of Justice. Nor are we at too great a risk attempting this. This gives us the opportunity to reward those agents of ours we've been otherwise unable to. A fine officer without an open post, a Magos without a forge world or fleet, an Assassin mentor without pupils. It doesnt Have to be one of my fine Judges that gets one, we could even agree to put forth some candidates ourselves.

>>18256500

Regarding that matter, I see no unmanagable problems with nudging a few Rogue Traders in the direction of looking for STC patterns which may help with solving the problem. If they turn nothing up, then we suffer no loss. But if they find something, then the rewards could be unimaginable.

Is that not what the Rogue Traders were created to do, after all?

>>18256500
There, away with this silly disguise. I shall send word to the Callidus agents to pay better attention next time.

>>18256454
I am still reading up on the debate, but rogue nobles can be dealt with swiftly and quietly. The Officio Assassinorum is having a period of relative inactivity right now. I believe we can be of much assistance outside of our normal duties right now.

>>18256361
While I agree with the need to place more stringent regulation upon the Rogue Traders, I'm not quite sure they would react well to such a situation.
Being so far from Imperial control, it would be incredibly easy for our Commissars to fall to "unforunate accidents" at the hands of the Rogue Traders -- something I'd quite like to avoid.
The Traders may even go rogue in the literal sense and cut off all ties from the Imperium, in which case who knows what kind of trouble they could cause.
This is a manner that needs to be handled most carefully.

I belive I may have a way to improve our officer corps and obtain funding from the nobility at the same time.

A significant number of our officers are nobles who used their money and influence to obtain this prestigious position.
This is a problem because it prevents other, more competent people from commanding troops, thus reducing efficiency.

I belive I have a potential solution to the problem. We can make it so that only those educated in special schools, modeled after the schola progenitum may obtain officer rank. The scools would draw recruits from not only the orphans of nobles, but also from commoners that show potential or from older soldies of lower rank who have proven their potential to lead.

Now, normally, this would open the way for ritch nobles to bribe their way in.
We will instead set an official, very high entry price. Once a candidate has been accepted, he or she must still pass the education program, thus ensuring that even those who paid their way into command have the skills needed to lead our men to victory.

If the Mechanicum agrees, we could even educate our potential officers with whatever knowledge the priesthood of Mars is willing to impart upon them.

>>18256576
We could declare a holy quest for these mechanics which are needed. The people who join will gain the most holliest of tasks, helping the emperor himself, indirectly ofcourse. We shall grant any of these people who comes up with the needed parts sainthood. This most surely will attract attention to the task at hand

>>18256361
>>18256536
I am uncomfortable with the thought of more rogue traders running around doing whatever they please without proper respect towards the Emperor and the Imperium. Do not forget that some of these are known to have traded even with xenos! But I agree that placing commissars on such ships would be a feasible solution, if sufficient new commissars can be properly trained.

>>18256576
That is a valid and worrying point. However, am I right in thinking most rouge traders have a base or home planet-side somewhere within the Imperium? Perhaps a ruling to ensure no members of the traders family are on the traders vessel, officially to protect their bloodline, unoffically to hold something over them to ensure loyalty. In addition to faith in the Emperor, of course.

>>18256601
You contradict yourself, saying the schools are also open to the lowest of commoners, but require a very high entry price.
I do agree on the general need for such thing though, and if the Adeptus Mechanicus would allow it, officers versed in technology would dramatically improve the efficiency of the guardsman legions.

>>18256576
>>18256641
This might be a good plan. It will not even require additional reinforcement for the Assassinorumon temples on most planets.

>>18256641
In addition, assuming that a Rogue Trader were to pass from this mortal coil, his/her ship and/or fleet would have to return its home port in order to pass the Warrant of Trade on to the Trader's successor, which would allow you to better observe such proceedings.

Another thing that might be within your domain: a system should be put into place to limit the issuance of Warrants of Trade and Letters of Marque -- there are enough of these privateers flying about as it is, and we can't afford to keep handing out such extreme powers willy-nilly.

>>18256601
Officers are usually nobles because that is their birthright.

To change the very feudal nature of the Imperium would require an enormous amount of paperwork.

>>18256705
Those chosen by the schools would not pay the entry price. I apologise if this was not clear from my phrasing of the matter.

As for the rogue traders, I do not quite trust them, but I do agree that we should pont them in the direction of the STCs we are looking for and offer a reward for recovering them.
The mechanicum should also provide their own personell to any rogue trader involved in the mission in order to ensure that they do not mess up with the excavation.
It would be outright frustrating if a rogue trader ruined it because he was in too much of a hurry to recover it.

Alternatively, send a few ark mechanicus and their support fleets, they should be able to punch through just about any opposition with minimal risk.

As per Commissar-Lord-General Fuklaw, we immediately began recruiting Seasoned Veterans, whom have fought a variety of enemies, and recruits, whose minds that (we had thought) could be easily molded into the Brightest, Angriest Future for our Imperial Guard.

Approx. ~250 (ea.) were recruited from the following worlds/regiments. Where roughly 50% of each group are Veterans.

The Valhallan 597th (an act of support from Commissar Cain), 243th, and recruits from Valhalla
The Cadian 11th and 97th, and recruits from Cadia
The Tanith First and Only, fresh recruits (an act of support from Colonel-Commissar Gaunt )
The Death Korps of Krieg 78th and 171th, and recruits from Krieg
and The Catachan Devils 109th, and recruits from Catachan.

With Over 2000 Guardsmen that had fought The Heretic, The Demon, and The Alien they where united under one banner and where hand-trained by General Fuklaw, Veteran Angry Marines, and the Daughters of Emperor from Orders Militant.

This Regiment survived General Fuklaws AIGFAFTE (Advanced Intensive GET FUCKING ANGRY For The Emperor) program will Approx ~1600 and where originally tasked with removing Tau influence from a select number of worlds.
>continued

Fuklaw took one look at the projected enemy forces list and said "FUCK THAT SHIT! WE'RE TAKING THIS SHITHEADS OUT GET SOME REAL FUCKING ACTION!' and precisely 2 seconds later, steered our ship (The /Selene's Grace/, renamed to the "HAMMER OF ANGER" after Fuklaw executed the entire bridge when they refused to go towards our new target" towards a colony directly in the path of an Ork WAAAGH.

I expected the Veterans to hold, and give what recruits survived training hope that we would survive
I had hoped that the new regiment would survive long enough to get Astartes Support
I had hoped we would at least just barely survive the Ork onslaught.
But that hope was dashed when Fuklaw ordered all distress beacons re-purposed to draw the FUCKING PANSY ASS GREENSKINS into combat with us.
I feared we would all perish.
I was wrong.
Dear Emperor. . . i was wrong.
One Regiment, with little Heavy weapons, or vehicles. With no assistance from the Mighty Space Marines. One regiment, who held in their chest. . . a fire for the Emperor that burned brighter than any star. . .
. . . Halted an Ork WAAAGH.
Attached is a Pic Recorder i had obtained when the Ork Tide made its way towards us. . . Trooper Calvin, Bayoneted the Nob in the eye, hacked off its arm with its own weapon, then beat it to death with its own arm.

+END OF REPORT+

>>18256790
Then get working on the paperwork. Too often have I had to send someone to assassinate an incompetent officer whose only redeeming quality was being born from a noblewoman. Too often have these men failed, and in their failure turned to chaos. I would rather have paperwork and competent officers than none at all.

>>18256831
How'd my Apprentice Bob do?

>>18256790
To be frank, it is the feudal nature of the Imperium, and the corruption of officials it tends to precipitate, that is the reason we're in this mess to begin with.

But I will agree that reformation of the Imperium is not the primary goal here . Our goal is to keep the Imperium alive, and if we must reform in order to accomplish this goal, which is more and more appearing to be true, then thus it shall be.

>>18256815
>>18256831

The unfortuant truth is that recruits (by their nature) ARENT FUCKING ANG- Fail to have the level of dedication and faith we all require to halt the Tyranid threat.

the AAR stated that of the 2255 Units that began training, only 1657 survived; with 70% of the 598 that perished being fresh recruits,

Of the 1658 (I LED THAT FUCKING CHARGE, what kind of General to you take me for?) that engaged with Ork hostiles only 1332 survived; with 90% of the 326 that died in service for the Emperor being fresh recruits.

Simply Put: Recruits can NEVER be Fucking Angry Enough. Which is both a blessing and a curse.

>>18256831
Commendable.

>>18256839
Such is the nature of recruitment that the individual planets choose how their officers are selected. Cadia has noble and commoner officers alike. Taalarn usually has nobility as officers. The commisariat is sent to ensure that they command efficiently regardless of heritage.

>>18256874
The feudal decentralised nature of the Imperium is what keeps it alive. There is no way it could be centrally controlled directly by us here on Terra

>>18256874
I am afraid that we can no longer afford luxuries like "birthright", "bribery" and "corruption".

The situation has progressed to the point where we will all be consumed if we don't get the entire empire to do it's very best. I strongly suggest that we start filling out the paperwork for this and many other projects and deal with any complaints in an appropriate manner.

He was originally tasked with maintaining the Regiments weapons and nothing else despite surviving AIGFAFTE (and passing with flying colors). He was Raeging then I had seen it, but not enough to break the cold exterior the Brotherhood of Mars had trained into him and so i waited.

During the Ork attacked a few tried looting a Chimera as he was driving it, he shouted "IN THE NAME OF THE GODDAMN MACHINE GOD I RIP YOU IN FUCKING HALF AND KILL YOUR GODDAMN ORK BUDDIES WITH YOU SHITTY AS CHAINAXE"

he then ripped the first one in half with his Mechanical Arms, Picked up its Chain Axe, Killed THREE more orks with that Chain Axe. . . picked up THEIR chain axes. Then charged into combat Quad-Wielding Chain Axes.

I was So Fucking Proud

>>18256963
I'm just glad he's still alive. It would be a pain to have to train a new apprentice. And I'm also glad he's fitting in.

Lord Solar, i am confident that the training program is complete. I request your authorization to continue to recruit ONLY active duty veterans from currently mobilized units. This will both shorten the over all training time, and boost moral and lively hood of the regiment.

After training a minimum of 2 more companies, i feel the regiment will be a true asset to the Imperium. AND FUCKING ANGRY ENOUGH TO STOP ANY GODDAMN BUG INVASION ON ANY FUCKING WORLD.


All that remains are two points:

First. . . which hive fleet would you have us eradicate.

>>18256815
>>18256831
>>18256963
I just wish to express my approval of this.

>>18257008

And Second . . . what shall we call our new Regiment?

>>18256933
More stringent screening would be very do-able but I am hesitant to scrap the order of commoner -> noble -> Adeptus Terra -> Emperor.

>>18256963
That is fucking beautiful. Perhaps a medal and a framed picture of the Emperor is in order for that individual. Posthumously if he did not survive.

>holy shit, spelling errors everywhere. I need to stop drinking tonight.

The Pissed Off and Angry for the Emperor Regiment.

*Video display from the eastern fringe, via a data-slate*
"My lords, sirs! Ladies!" I salute to the camera.
"I was requested to update you on the events over 'ere," I duck as a huge chunk of red flies past the camera, the dirt brown terrain behind is broken up by large chunks of red. "The Tyranids are getting bolder, sirs! We need reinforcement with haste, I don't know how long we can keep retreating and preforming exterminatus, it'll only be so long before we lose something vital, sirs!"
I turn away from the camera and shout something about the chain of command being dead, and being down to sergeants and privates, and something about a demand for reinforcements.
"We're losing men faster than we're losing ground, here, I implore you, we need better gear, they've adapted to our basic weapons, and they've got a-"
*Camera hisses out in to static*

>>18257010
>forgot to change my name back here

>>18257028
Oh, this basic order would still remain, but talented commoners would now be able to rise in status if they diserve it. Otherwise, a potentially capable leader could be stuck wasting his potential in a press gang hauling ammunition around instead of serving the emperor to his best ability.

>>18257058
Commisar, I think this is your next stop.

>>18257008
If so required, I could lend the assistance of some of my instructors to aid with the training, and I would also be very interested to see the results of assassins to undergo the training. Mostly eversor, but culexus and vidicare assassins trained this way would undoubtedly prove invaluable as well. Thus, I would like to request that 50 of my finest assassins join the next company in their training. More, if you would so allow it.

>>18257028

Both He And Trooper (now Sargent Calvin) survived the Fight.

>>18257031

TOO GODDAMN LONG IM G-... I'm getting a little agitated just saying it.

>>18257068
Then perhaps we could send advisor's from worlds like Cadia and Catachan where commoners can rise through the ranks to planets where nobility stifles the effectiveness of the command structure.

We don;t want to become too partisan, that would be Heresey.

>>18257058

Ah, a Commissar's work is never done

>>18257090

By the Emperor, Assassins with Anger training. I think that moment of of silence that occurred when you said that was the entirety of our enemies FUCKING SHITTING THEMSELVES OUT OF PURE GODDAMN FEAR.

SO IT WOULD FUCKING SEEM

>>18257096

>>18256932
Sir, most of my job is logistics. I *know* that it would be a damned nightmare to micromanage the whole of the Imperium -- but just because we need a decentralized system doesn't mean that we have to continue to let every planetary governor, noble, officer, and rogue trader swing their dicks around, wielding ultimate power over their little corner of space with NO constraints whatsoever.

>also, dammit why do I keep losing my name

>>18257103

I can't believe that he was promoted.

Well, im off to the Front-lines. I will return again to give this Council my report.

The angry regiment is clearly a success, I suggest that we expand scope of angry training to the best of our ability.

>>18257136
Good luck. I look forward to the ANGRY EVERSORS.

>>18257137
The assassins being included in the program would be a step in the good direction, I believe. Now how would psykers react the the anger training? We should be careful with this, as the perils of the warp could accidentally be reinforced by such immense display of emotion, but if successful it could very well be a turning point in the wars.

>>18257125
I believe that during the last meeting a system was made by the adeptus arbites together with the commissariat to place observing officers on each planet to force the governors to act in situations where they previously would have ignored the problems. The reports that have come back (I do apologise for the intrusion in your documents, Grand Provost Marshal) seem to indicate it to be a great success.

What's all this about Rogue Traders? Who thinks that handing out writs to every Tirral, Anceus and Maldeline like Chen-Dogs hand out stims is a good idea?

>>18256831
THIS IS GLORIOUS! A full Ork WAAAAGH! Hasn't been so thoroughly shattered since the Emperor himself campaigned against them! Commissar-General, you have the rubber seal of the Imperial Guard to expand this your program. You may requisition any unit you deem worthy for this task, provided those unist still exists and can be transported safely from its current warzone. It seems even my servitor admires this victory, as he has created a piece of art depicting your stand.

>>18256874
This is what we must force ourselves to understand. Some limited reformation must occur to prevent the most imminent doomsday scenarios.

>>18256896
How can we make the recruits more effective?

>>18257137
Agreed. I will ask a few of my underlings to start making the most infuriating device known to us to assist in the creation of these regiments. It is known as
"BattleToads"

>>18257217
Commissar-Lord-General Fuklaw Has already left the meeting, warmaster general, but he has mentioned that the success rates would be immensely higher if only veterans were recruited into the program.

More rogue traders, in my sky?
Are you mad? It's getting awfully crowded out there, we don't need more people infringing on my prof- I mean; we can't expect to throw more money at a problem, and hope for a solution to just arise, can we?

>>18257206
But is the training of an assassin not antithetical to the Commissar's Anger regimen? Or perhaps you are suggesting a fully-fledged new temple for this?

>>18257254
Eversor's will fit right in.

>>18257206
I have been considering this myself and come to the conclusion that it is a great risk. Most of our training relies on emotional self control and the reinforcment of our faith in the emperor, so angry training would do the exact opposite of what we are doing now.

I have compiled a list of twenty candidates including seven veteran primaris psykers that have righteous fury and faith in their hearts already, and am willing to assign them to the training if Commissar-Lord-General Fuklaw is willing to work with them.

>>18257228
Only the eldest and darkest of the myths of humanity's ancient prehistory speak of Battletoads, and then only in vague metaphor and strange riddles. How does it work?

>>18257235
My apologies. He does run off in a flash!

>>18257294
...You don't want to know. The fury I experienced because of it was... purifying. It should help with the training.

>>18257254
The eversor temple already leans closely towards the anger regiment, but your suggestion is not a bad one, warmaster general. I would have to speak to the master assassins of all of the temples to decide on such matters, but a new temple could be made to focus on ANGRY assassins, since the mental instability of eversors might aid the whole Anger part, but it could get out of control. It would also eliminate the need for the - no, I should not speak of the specifics of the temples. I shall definitely conference with the other master assassins about this.

>>18257217
I am loathe to have any damn proles running a planet.

However, perhaps the threat of a noble family being stripped of titles and governership being handed to one of the other noble houses on the planet could be a way of ensuring greater efficiency.

As a last ditch resort, the planet could be directly governed by the Administratum. It has happened before upon default of tithe payment.

>>18257317
My fellow men of the Red Cloth would be willing to take over. Efficiency will increase a calculated 245%.

Sup cracka's?

T-dawg is busy so he sent me instead. What'd I miss?

>>18257346
That.....that is not a bad idea.

If the threat of the Astartes or Administratum control will not motivate them, perhaps the threat of Mechanicus governorship will!

>>18257286
Hmm, this could be a very powerful weapon. The mightiest psykers, impeccably loyal to the Emperor, conjuring a veritable storm of righteousness against the mutant, the heretic and the xenos.

Perhaps then it would be possible to...

All present are sworn to the utmost secrecy on pain of death, chained to the Astronomican. I now broach the deepest secret of the Imperium.

>>18257413
And we shall enforce it.

All servants, leave the room now.

>>18257451

I ain't yo servant honkey!

Das racist!

>>18257474
Shut up.
*Grumbles in Lingus Techno*

rolled 29 = 29

>>18257474
This is the empire of man, we wear racism like commisars wear hats.

>>18257489

Fine I'll leave, but imma bring my boyz back with me and burn you racist crackas down!

Ya dig?

Salamanders 5ever!

>>18257346
This is not the worst option we have by far. It could also increase manufactorum output prodigiously

>>18257413
I speak now, of the so-called Sensei. They are, according to what little information the Ordos of the Inquisition have uncovered, Psychic Blanks. They channel a strange form of warp energy similar to our own Faith weapons. The Inquisition hunts them meticulously, but perhaps our hostility is misplaced... The vile Illuminati, of course, are the greatest of heretics and are to be purged without mercy or hesitation, but, according to reports from the field, the Sensei have ever been a force of protection against our enemies, though they clash with Imperial forces infrequently. We need to know more about them either way, so perhaps.one should be contacted?

>>18257521
I just wanted you to stop ranting about fleshbag relations. Your corpses will make excellent servitors.

>>18257530
I am in favor of this. My department in perticular is interested in their unique warp properties.

>>18257555

Aight, we cool.

Anyway, I propose that we attempt to set the warp on fire. I'm sure my boyz will be down with this.

>>18257124
Connie wanted me to say hi, John.
EVERY DAY IS GREAT WHEN YOU'RE ME!!!!

>>18257530
I know of at least one, which my assassins have failed to kill so far. He has killed 56 of different temples before we lost his trail and he was deemed of lower priority. The knowledge of his existence has been locked away in our deepest and most secure archives of course, but I believe that we might be able to track him down relatively quickly

>>18257590
I think that's impossible, but you could help set some Tyranids on fire. And my newest creation should help. I call him Ted.

>>18257640

You best not be disrespecting the Salamanders ability to light shit up. Give us enough flamer's and we can make the universe burn.

If that thing comes with flamers attached we will be happy to prove this on dem nids.

This is just getting silly.

I'm off to do some paperwork....

The search for this sensei seems like the perfect opportunity to test the new oracle system.

Arch-Magos Winter, would you be willing to assign a few of your logis techpriests to this? I already have the raw data, it only needs to be processed now.

>>18257698
Flamers? We put a HEAVY FLAMER in Ted's mouth. We put plasma cannon's and multimelta's and Lascannons on Ted. Seriously, you'll love Ted.

>>18257763
>damnit, forgot the name again, probably because it's 2am here

>>18257763
No problem. I'll just send Bill from accounting over. His artificial lungs could use some fresh air.

>>18257780
Excelent, the results will be forwarded to the Grand Master of Assassins.

>>18257770

Ted is SWAG enough for us then. I guess we'll go BBQ some nids for y'all. Any in particular that need burning?

>thread seems to be slowing down. Anyone archived yet?

>>18257818
>nvm, did it myself.
>http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/18254897/

>>18257818
Done.

>>18257818
>Someone archived it already, http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/18254897/

>>18257805
Any will do.

>>18257607
>>18257763
Coordinate with each other. The Oracle program will locate this particular Sensei, and the Assassinorum will track him within the system he is found in. Do not engage him directly, unless you believe you have enoguh Culexus of sufficient strength to render his powers useless. Instead, first we will send someone to speak to the Sensei, someone with whom he will identify, whom he will be obliged to trust. This ambassador will inform him that we requi- I mean, humbly request his presence on Terra, that we mean no harm and wish only to speak to him. This is, of course, the truth as I see it. Any candidates?

>I think completing the planning for this is a good stopping point for this week. We've got lots of material to build off of next week.

>>18257894
>>18257918
>nice, nice. I might make a list of filled roles next week to cut down on the early confusion, if yall feel like its worth continuing.

>Haha captcha: squats beautify

>>18257983
I agree with this course of action and I am willing to speak to a sensei personally if nobody objects.

>>18257983
A good plan. I shall relay our data to the adeptus astra telepathica as soon as possible.

I am weary against sending more elite assassins to their death only to see no results again, so diplomacy is our best course of action. I will make sure however that sufficient Culexus will be available should the need to fight him arise.

I would propose an astartes chaptermaster, or a high lord inquisitor to do the talking, as he is most likely to identify himself with them.

>Yeah, this is pretty much a good end point

>so, next thursday, roughly same time?

>>18258074
>Why not?

>>18258019
>Good idea, I'll stay assassin then. read through tons of lexicanum stuff just for this now, because I hardly knew anything about them before the thread started.
>Anyway, I'm off for the night, thanks guys, had a lot of fun.

I must excuse myself, lords, an urgent matter requiring my personal attention has come up, and if I am not mistaken the end of this meeting draws close. I will catch up by the next meeting.

>>18258074
>Yup.

Gentlemen, I'm afraid that my the time I had for this meeting has run out, there is a number of issued I must attend to. Farewell and I hope to see you all on the next council.
