Jolemai Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I don't know the page number, but did anyone notice something "alarming" on the distribution of primary Ork enclaves map? Only Baal sits in the southern tip of Arch-Killa of Chrisios' empire. Fortunately, they are currently Waaaghing (verb?) to the north meaning we only have to worry about Tyranids... What do people know about this? Have to say it's the first time I've ever heard of it. Any major conflicts yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Baal is under assault by just about everyone if I recall correctly (Deamons, Nids, now Orks). Bring it on, the Sons of Sanguinius will deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabgoi Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 As JamesI pointed out, you forgot KaBantha's (probably spelled wrong) demon army attack on the Baal system, but as I see it there is no downside to them being there. If they want to attack Baal it just saves us the time and energy of traveling to them to bring about the Emperor's justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it on, the Sons of Sanguinius will deal with it. Hear, hear. This might have been a problem for the founding chapter alone... but the might of the entirety of Sanguinius' lineage (minus the Lementers, too busy crying) waiting at Angels Fall? I say BRING IT ON!!!! They could also put a Necron tomb under Baal and I still wouldnt care. We are Vengeance We are Fury We are Wrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrahawk Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Agreed Brothers! Let the Greenskins come, we'll scatter millions of their dead around the Baal system like leaves. Death to the Xenos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Well, the last time orks landed on baal the battle brothers didnt even get to fire a single bolter in anger... we just let the dreadnoughts out to play for a couple of days.

appiah4 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 You know you picked the right home planet when enemies of the Emperor queue up on your doorstep to be purged in His name. Saves you the trouble of deciding how to serve Him, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaezus Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wouldn't get excited about this. With the way the tyranid threat has developed, no doubt 8th ed orks will have GW completely forgetting they were anywhere near us. Or maybe they'll have them all arrive in situ at the same time and fight eachother to a standstill while our response force sit around feasting and smoking cigars as they watch the fun.

Captain Idaho Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Why on earth would Tyranids even bother with Baal anyway? I'm sure there are much less inhospitable places out there which are much more edible. Unless they're on a diet eating dust? But seriously; Baal makes Fenris look like a paradise. Any invader is in for a nasty surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm not exactly a fluffbunny myself but isn't Baal itself quite different from the moons secundus and prime? That's where BA recruit, but not where the monastery is located. Well, the last time orks landed on baal the battle brothers didnt even get to fire a single bolter in anger... we just let the dreadnoughts out to play for a couple of days. I wonder if it's possible for a dread to salivate? Because if it is then these guys are flooding their sarcophagi. http://i.imgur.com/cLFDcIS.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Thirst Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 From what I recall Baal itself holds the Monastery and is a massive desert world.Prime & Secundus used to be paradise worlds until nuclear war destroyed all 3 during old night. So there all pretty much irradiated waste lands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the Nids are the last to arrive, drawn to Baal due to the sheer amount of bloodshed... I just hope GW don't do it again and say "due to the threat of the nids, the Blood Angels and Daemons of Ka'Bandha join forces in the ultimate brofist to squash some bug" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anver Cassiel Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I reckon the orks wont show up, but it has been put there in case of future conflicts fluff wise. There is already such a large threat to the BA and their successors who have arrived to help that piling in orks would be a bit much i think. on a related note does anyone else wonder if this conflict will actually be addressed fluff wise? i noticed timeline wise it takes place right at the end of the millennium, leaving little wiggle room if they want to add more fluff but keep it in this millennium, but also making it such a large issue it would be annoying if they dont expand on the fate of the blood angels? it cant just be me annoyed by this can it?

Fluff wise, no, the clock is firmly stuck at 11:59:59 GW wont ever advance the setting, no if's but's or maybes. Thats the whole point of making up these final stands in the first place. If there one thing GW did right it was the feeling of sheer overwhelming hopelessness at the end of the 41st millennium. The 13th Black Crusade, The Tyranid Hive Fleets, The rise of the Necron Tombs, even the Astronomican failing all pin the Grim Dark in place as the settings backdrop and to move forward in any way would shatter that illusion.

Tiberius Cato Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 As a non-Blood Angel, I suspect that some outside force (some deity or Alpha Legion trickery maybe?) is trying to keep y'all from getting to Terra when Abby comes to unplug the Golden Throne, he knows how well you primarch defended the palace walls and orchestrated events to prevent you from keepin' his daemons at bay.

Anver Cassiel Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 You doubt our resolve brother? Haha i would never......buuuut it is perhaps a bit much to ask to face a hive fleet, an army of demons and an Ork Waaaagh! Although if things were to play out i Imagine the collective sons of sanguinius would prevail. However that is extremely annoying. I like the idea of a grim future, last stand of humanity etc. however i think that idea was painted well enough (pun not intended) without something so pivotal as the peril of the blood angels. Especially as this is a popular army choice, but this event ties up the whole chapter fluff wise and large portions of all BA successors.

Dark Legionnare Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 It would be glorious if the whole Baal scenario turned into a 40k system-wide "World Campaign." I miss those... That was what got me hooked on 40k in the first place was the Black Crusade, Fall of Medusa V.sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it wouldnt be varied enough, unlike Armageddon, Medusa V and 13thBC only the Sons of Sanguinius, Hive Fleet Leviathan, and Daemons of the Blood God are involved. Would be too much of a niche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
