simison Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I woldn't mind seeing the debate reopened there. Very well. I suggested Escalation because it represents Chaos' growing influence within the Traitor Legions. It's supposed to represent the creation of the first Daemon Primarch. It's also a word that starts with a vowel and ends in -ion, which we seem to use in most of the books thus far. So, it fits into a theme there. Your turn.

Raktra Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I like "Escalation", it may not be an action word but there's a certain gravitas behind it given the context.

bluntblade Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Thinking hard about the set-up again, as we do now have Icarion making a serious push against Terra with the First Solar War. Also a few Clans should be entirely ruled out, sent far away from Mycenae to shore up gaps in the line and hold reconquered territory. Otherwise it just looks too convenient. A large force could be preparing to destroy the remaining Traitor enclaves in the Galactic north, following up on the Bears' attack on Lasaris/one of its colonies. (Actually that should be a major theme, that Alex is trying to exploit Icarion's loss of momentum) We also need an event to open the way for the Berserkers and Eagle Warriors. I suggest we use the Predators turning Traitor, if that's viable with the timeline.

bluntblade Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Something that would disrupt the Loyalist lines enough for the Berserkers and Eagle Warriors to assault Mycenae and it to still be a surprise to the Lions.

ShadowSwordmaster Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The only thing I could think of is a distraction that forces the Loyalist to reacted.

bluntblade Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Indeed. So Preds turning and other offensives seem like the only viable options.

ShadowSwordmaster Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) I would go with that if possible. Maybe have the one of the other Insurrectionist legions attack?

Sigismund229 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 The Blood Crusade isn't the only thing going on at this time. We originally had it that to ensure the loyalists couldn't just shift to reinforce Mycenae, Icarion launches various other feinting attacks elsewhere to tie them down and keep them guessing.
