bluntblade Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Seeing as I've added some, I ought to begin tracking the armies at Revan. This is the so-far: Loyalist Commanders Pionus Santor Antonidas Metis Odyssalas Galen Diomes Licinius Vastelus (Kadisian Hounds) Saerla Kadora (Medusan Steelshod) (More) Scions Hospitalier - three taskforces, 30,000? Legio Gojira House Toho 3rd Medusan Steelshod Kadisian Hounds Insurrectionist Warbringers - 40,000? Legio Victorum Three or four Novadeka Regiments Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327344-black-book-the-first-solar-war/page/4/#findComment-4945866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Galen Diomes, captain of the 8th Brotherhood :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327344-black-book-the-first-solar-war/page/4/#findComment-4945870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 7th Captain now, after we rejigged that fluff. Gonna add some other Titan Legios and Knights for flavour, got a reasonable idea of how Pionus and Kozja could come face to face.

bluntblade Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 How important do we want the xenos auxiliaries to be? Figure the Interex could get involved in the north, but Eldar could be handy in a few theatres Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327344-black-book-the-first-solar-war/page/4/#findComment-5259899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Updated thread title. I'm not sure if this one black book will cover the entire First Solar War or just the Assault on Delos. I will be going through and renaming the Trilogy threads to something more appropriate, given our new red/black book divide.

bluntblade Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I'd vote three key engagements in the First Solar War, myself. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327344-black-book-the-first-solar-war/page/4/#findComment-5316218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 I want to give Delos the full treatment, like how FW did an entire book on Isstvaan III. So, that's why I'm wondering if I need to make a separate thread for that.

bluntblade Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I'd keep it to this thread for now, and see where that goes in terms of scope.

bluntblade Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Drafted something for the intro. Does having three Primarchs at the council work, and who should they be besides Alex? Provisionally thinking Hec and then Niklaas or Andezo, with Pionus occupied to the south. The Pieces Begin to Move On the feudal world of Orsken, on the eastern border of Segmentum Solar, there is a forbidding mountain range at the southern pole, its bleak and vertiginous aspect not unlike old Orioc on Terra. Six decades into the Great Crusade, Orsken’s rulers had yielded before the Iron Bears, who took the southern mountains and carved a network of strongholds within the innermost peaks. Far from the eyes of Orsken’s natives, Tricendian stonework formed the Imperial governor’s most secure refuge. One chill morning, in the mountain fastness, a hundred warlords gathered in the main hall to discuss the defence of the Emperor’s realm. The armies they commanded were almost as diverse as the worlds from which they hailed. Men and women from the noble houses of void enclaves stood beside others whose tattoos and ornaments gave away their origins on feral worlds. Each was a general of high standing and proven mettle; Lord Commanders, Knight Seneschals, Solar Auxilia Marshals, Mechanicum Archmagi, Praetors of the Legiones Astartes and Titan Princeps all took their place on the stone floor. Some were present in person, but many attended only as flickering holograms, transmitted from their ships in orbit. In the great forum, however, they were all diminished by the figures at the chamber’s heart: the Imperial Warmaster and two of his brothers.
