bluntblade Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Bon aniversare. Anyhoo, my update of the Grave Stalkers talks about some of the Legions who rose early on, and how these tended toto be geared towards head-on combat. I've listed the Ist, Vth and VIth who are definitely established early on. Can we also count the VIIth and IVth?

Most of the work has happened in PMs, minus what Blunt has posted to the various threads.

bluntblade Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Sim's set me to combing over the fluff for style and adding/altering bits where fluff has changed, hence my work on the Bears. So far I've only fiddled with a few paragraphs and added a wee bit of context and historian-style comments on the data available.

simison Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 While trying to answer a question, it occurs to me that I never did set the final members of the trefoil: Space Wolves, Steel Legion, Apostles of War/Wardens of Light. The Bell Tolls The Missing Athrawes Hesh Kadesh foamy248 The Lost Depthcharge Apothecary Meros Praefectus Invictus Sete Generalripphook Squig has made an appearance, but Hesh has fallen into obscurity again. Meanwhile, foamy has been active elsewhere but not here.

MikhalLeNoir Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Athrawes is totally lost. Haven't seen him work on his 1k Sons and neither on his Lightning Bearers Canonversion. Maybe he is painting and prepares for a glorious return? I thought you set the trefoil^^ By the way: what is with AO108?

Maybe he is painting and prepares for a glorious return? I thought you set the trefoil^^ By the way: what is with AO108? Last time I heard from Athrawes in a PM was March 22nd. So, he'll officially become Lost regarding BotL on September 22nd. I'm sad to see that we're only a month and a half from that point. I thought so too, but the last post I did set up the Steel Legion and the Apostles of War, not the third one. Because in that post, I had actually ruled out the Grave Stalkers and the Drowned as a potential candidate. So, I just had the Space Wolves retake their old role. AO108 maintains contact with me through Facebook. I talked with him yesterday about the EW chaplains. I hope to lure him back to the forums when the EW come up on the monthly fluff challenge or when we move into Emancipation.

simison Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Do we have any alternate means of contacting Athrawes? Facebook, Twitter, etc? I don't think he ever joined the FB group. He also has an account on Heresy30k. ...hmmm. His last post was on July 23, and it was about a Stormbird flight stand he made. But comparing the two accounts, he's not really more active in one or the other but definitely was more active on B&C in April before switching to Heresy30k for May. Honestly, it almost feels like he kinda migrates from one forum to the other month-to-month.

Sigismund229 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Lads, as part of my preparations for going to Uni, I've been going through my stuff in my room, among it a lot of unfinished Warhammer and 40k stuff and bits that I won't have space for at University and my parents don't want to keep in the house. Mostly it's 40k space marines, space wolves and some Blood Angels and Black Templar bits from the 40k side of things. Might any of you lot be interested in acquiring some extra 40k bits?

MikhalLeNoir Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Should we declare Athrawes really as lost or just co tinue onward? He was always kinda special here and ti be honest he wasn't very involved from the beginning. How about just treat them as before?

Chief Captain Redd Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I agree on this path in Regards to Anthrawes; besides we have pretty good outline of what happens with them, and more than enough clever writers to fill in the blanks.

He was always kinda special here and ti be honest he wasn't very involved from the beginning. How about just treat them as before? In official terms, if Athrawes becomes Lost, the Harbingers become open to anyone who is willing to step up and take over them. In practical terms, I've essentially inherited the Harbingers and have done...well, over half of the Legion development for Insurrection. So, nothing will really change unless someone steps forward that I can trust the Lightning Bearers to. Either way, I'm not declaring Athrawes is Lost, until that date shows up. Until then and even after, we keep moving forward.

simison Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 "This is sentence for people who don't know what an Oxford comma is, like heretics, cultists[,] and Sigs." It's supposed to be the last comma in a list, in front of the word 'and'. It's use is...debated. As far as I know, half the writing world uses it, and the other other half doesn't. I typically write with it, but Blunt doesn't. So, we were going to have to address that in the near future anyway.

I don't typically use it either so maybe it's a British-American divide I don't think it's that clean because a lot of the essays I've reviewed for college students won't use it either. Though I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the UK and EU are far more likely to ignore it.
