yeah, the carnivores would be great starters for newer knights (and get the old ghosts in the machine to grumble at them to be better) before they graduate to a actual knight...which means depending on how many knight packs there are, were going to need to either triple or quadruple or even quinque (5 times).
Yah, I want Proper Sized Knights. The Karnivore has been serving valiantly, but proper sized Knights like paladins and Errants not only hit a level of power that tends to be hard to contest without the use of other superheavies, and are only eclipsed by their bigger walking castles of a brother and Proper titans from their.
And that's without getting into the weirdo weapons I want to make that a proper sized knight can accommodate. A knight paladin also contains examples of Rapid fire battlecannons (Battlecannons that can fire twice in the time a normal battlecannon can fire once) which would be great for our tanks, And between the size (and in turn available power) and relative rarity, Knights are a great platform for testing new Heavy weaponry before trying to Back port and mass produce them for our more numerous tank fleets.
Still, we can't exactly make those yet, and the Armigers still have their uses.
Is the Displacement Engine still around findable by future actions, or can we assume that the battle to stop the monsters also destroys the potential loot?
(Just making sure we don't overlook the possibility to gain archotech due to assumptions)
The other advantage - we can actually build more knights, while they most likely can't. If we ever manage an army building action we could knock together something like 80 kharnivores. I like our chances better if we're 4 on 1. Also - it's unlikely that we could learn how to build knights from them. Our best way to get new knights is that STC fragment.
But honestly, all of that's on the distant horizon. We have a lot of territory to digest already, technology to research, ships to design and heresy to quash. Not to mention Voxx and the van Zandt's. As soon as they're done with whatever is occupying them we're going to be in Next. Or whatever ate them will try to eat us.
The near future looks something like fleet reorg, research, heresy quashing and continuing the Voxx campaign!

Eh even if they can't build knights themselves, I think if we can actually get access to working examples of the knights, we would probably be able to Reverse engineer them these days, we have Tech priests that are actually doing R'n'D things, and given how quickly we managed to cannibalize Imperial ships for upgrades/DP, we are pretty good at reverse engineering. It would cost actions, maybe even more then 1, But i think we could do it, IF we gain access to not only Working examples and wrecks to reverse engineer, but also the Technicians/ Maintenance crew who perform maintenance on the Knights. Even if that maintenance is just kludge together solutions, that requires SOME knowledge of how the machine does what it does. Between all of that and extrapolating what we learned from the karnivore, we probably could reverse engineer knights.
Without access to Maintenance crew, Working examples and actions? We definitely would need to rely on just finding a lucky STC.
but that's exactly why I want to Woo them... Also Ladies in giant robots are hot.

Not exactly, we have the benefit of being innovative and not solely reliant on STCs. They most certainly help, but they aren't vital to our ability to get new shit. They're just a neat short cut.
Also, Unless I missed something, I don't think their any actually sign of what that STC... is? It could be anything from vehicle, Super heavy, titan, Spaceship. Basically everything has STC fragment, So the chances of getting exactly that result, A knight, Is pretty slim.

Nope, it had a bad case of "Getting Nuked" while the Lamenters fought against the gribblies that made their main nest around the thing.
[X] Yes.
Don't worry Yeeni, If its a beartrap we will back you to the hilt, If its not, Enjoy your new planet!

son of a-
alright I see that's how we're playing.
.... I'm sorry what the fuck we did encounter that called in the entire chapter?! I mean after chaos cults in 621 were stamped out and destroyed there is a lull but I'm surprised it was the entire chapter, I'm guessing it was because of got nothing better to do and innocents are in danger being hunted so they came in full force just in case.
insert meme of how other space marine chapter abandon civilians for the simplest of reasons vs the Lamenters 'is that a single farmer in the fields being attacked by a swarm of Tyrnaids?! With Me, Brothers!'
And yet again the difference in how we are vs the Imperium with caring about people and following up on the disappearances, along with noticing them in the first place, and how the Imperium loses paper work and forget planets or entire sub-sectors exist.
Hold up. Under them?... motherfucker we set up a colony right over its nest... or not. That's a bit off and scary, I can chalk it up to the warp predator and something going off or others trying to take a peice but the facts its over the world and not just region? that speaks to something else.
..... you're fucking me. False Hydra equivalents. We had that shit here? evac the world and nuke it again.
I do like how you keep the Song element here and have the choir hearing the song of that since our psykana is in hymns and songs.
well at least the colony was able to fight it and kill it with what they had, and our choir was able to help there, they were a BIG help.
also WTF 100 meter long? the hell is with that thing?
......oh. THAT'S why the Lamenters were called and they came in force. they managed to kill one through planning and traps but a whole horde of them in the planet? yah call the Space marines for that. Also see what the fucking Imperium left behind or abandoned. With how big these things are I wonder how many of them were around when the Imperium was still here and how many humans they ate? because that seems like something big you want to wipe out and wonder if they were noticed at all.
....... My hyena friends you could NOT have asked at WORST time for this. even during the war would have been better timing then this. So the Grace of Hymns were where this all happened, nothing so far on Grace of Lights and Grace of Labors. the Yeeni want Grace of Faiths... yah lets send a party to check around to make sure there isn't any fuckery over at all.
I think we would have chosen to destroy the Archotech Displacement Engine, seems in line for how our decisions have been. Still painful lost though of that tech, ah well. and it seems like a novel or story fitting for SCP or Horror Game with the classic blowing up the source to stop the monters and sparing others of it.
hmmm would the Melody be of what that thing was doing? masking its presence and such?
race of animals? so they aren't warp related deamons and shit? and I can see why it would have taken 2 actions worth to deal with them if they can just teleport all over the planet, makes sense that the Imperium didn't find them either.
I hope so but with a name like Grace of Faith when we found False Hydra equivalents that can teleport at Grace of Hymns, I'm not holding my breath at that.
they they went into hibernation after the Imperium dipped and when we landed they couldn't help themselves.
Huh, neat. time to absorb some Knight Houses.. wait Matriarchal? SHIT we need to take care of The Order of the Nurenor Roses first before we start preaching there, its likely that sect will find more support and fertile ground in that place.
Agreement, Damn it Lamenters I know you feed yourselves through the wood chip to protect the people and innocent but you JUST recovered and already suffering horrendous casualties. It just just their luck for this though.
Also No one? No one is pointing to the names of the worlds on the Archotech warp routes? Where Dreams Bloom, Where gods Die, and Where Iron Screams?

I was thinking a major Men of Iron event took place there.
Dreams Bloom is the creation.
Metal Screams is the corruption.
Gods Die is where they got destroyed.
