ShadowSwordmaster Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I think Decimation for the Blood Crusade stuff seems like a good name. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325621-ref-book-outlines/page/6/#findComment-5317782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I was hedging my bets with the naming convention. Amending that now and bringing in Thorn's info. Â Looking over the revised list. Which battles have something written and which ones are completely theoretical?

simison Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 How many words are Tayargund Reach, Foelith, Thelum, and Iyacrax? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325621-ref-book-outlines/page/6/#findComment-5318306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Tayargund is 12700, Foleith about 2500 and Thelum a little under 7000. Iyacrax only has a few hundred so far, it's embryonic.

simison Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So, Tayarund is already long enough to be worthy of its own black book. And that leaves about 2,500 words for your suggested Retaliation.

bluntblade Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Are you sure we haven't set the word count a little low? I think the FW campaigns actually stretch quite a bit longer.

simison Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 For the record, I'm leaning toward a 12k limit because it matches the red books. Each black book would also include it's own anthology section under the current plan.

Beren Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'm going to try to start creating an outline for the Imperialis Auxilia and Mechanicum supplements.  Mechanicum:  Introduction  Relations with specific Legions  Knight House Fluff- House Lorthryk, House Rakham, The Sin Eaters, House Blinstrubas? House Vintego?  Titan Legio Fluff-Legio Reventus? Legio Contego? Legio Tonarum, Legio Apollo? Legio Telesto? Legio Gojira, Legio Yharma, Legio Solachra?, Legio Auris  Mechanicum Rules  Adeptus Titanicus Rules (tbh, a lot of the House/Legio fluff could be placed in campaign books)   Imperialis Auxilia:  Introduction  Legion Relations  Regiments of Renown?  Imperialis Auxilia rules Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325621-ref-book-outlines/page/6/#findComment-5319980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019  OK, I think it's time we went over these again. I think this is how it stands:  Book 1 - Revelation [all complete] Prelude [to be done?] The Madrigal Purge (Harbingers vs HW) [complete] The Kataii Ambush (IB vs GS and GS) [complete] The Perfidy of Untara (SH vs Drowned) [complete] Book 2 - Scission [all complete] Mars (HW, FK, Abyssii vs Cognis among others) [complete] Book 3 - Expansion Prelude [complete] Introduction: The False Empire [complete] Conquest of the Tayargund Reach (Harbingers vs FK and Shepherds of Eden) [complete] Nox [WIP] Book 4 - Subjugation Prelude (to be done) Introduction [to be done] Iphigenia and Macragge [WIP] The Lion's Hunt (CL vs Geno regiments) The Agony of Chalcea (BoU) [WIP] Book 5 - Attrition Prelude [to be done] Introduction: The Pieces Set [WIP] Iyacrax (IB, Halcyon Wardens(?), Predators(?) vs WB and Godslayers(?)) [WIP] Something with Blackshields and Chimarae? [hypothetical] Retaliation Prelude [complete] Introduction [to be done] Foleith (prologue, VE) [Complete] Evacuation of Thelum (VE and WoL vs WoP) [Complete] The Eastern Fringe (DS vs SL and Drowned, followed by Predators) [WIP] Emancipation Prelude [to be done] Introduction [to be done] Siege of Delos (HW vs EW) [Early WIP] Battle of Revan (SH vs WB) [Very early WIP] Fire Keepers vs Berserkers? [Hypothetical] Escalation (Or Decimation, though my vote would be Eradication or Conflagration) Prelude [complete] Introduction: The Torn Veil [to be done] Blood Crusade general (CL vs BoS and EW) [WIP] Cadia (same as above, but with IB and possibly Nightguard in supporting role - this could be misremembered on my part) [Early WIP] Secession Prelude [to be done] Introduction: Turned Cloaks [to be done] First Battle of Xandria [Hypothetical] Hypothetical at this stage and no place set: Recantation Various smaller campaigns, taking in the Shepherds of Eden, Grey Wardens, Morning Stars and Hammers of Malis as well as Blackshields I haven't managed to keep track.

simison Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 In regards to word count, perhaps we should establish a minimum of 10,000 words for the anthology and the background section, and a maxiumum of 15,000 words?

bluntblade Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I'm inclined to just go by how much feels right. Â Also, we should really consider putting the anthologies at the back of the books.

simison Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Why would the anthology go in the back? Â Also, no. We need the word count limits to ensure that each faction is treated with an equal amount of respect and dedication, not beholden to the whims of a muse.

bluntblade Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Because with it at the front, you're dropping a reader into a mass of stories with only a picture to go by.

simison Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 There is merit to that. We should ask Grifft how difficult that would be to implement for the published books. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325621-ref-book-outlines/page/6/#findComment-5333105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 For the record, I wholeheartedly agree with blunt on putting the anthology after the fluff part, though I'm unsure whether it should be at the end or in the middle - I'd probably say in the middle, as it would be easiest for use to keep the rules reference info in an easily accessible place (ie not the middle) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325621-ref-book-outlines/page/6/#findComment-5333477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
