IIRC the SAGs doubling is the Techs that come after the logistical infantry equipment pair in the tech tree.

Yep. And they've also decided to discard the restrictions of the Codex, and while it does have some good advice in it, the Lamenters don't need such strict regulations of a Codex-Compliant Chapter

So yeah, this is my plan. Please vote for it. Logistical Armor will help both our SAGs and our Voxx Primus Troops, and survivability seems pretty important at this point.

Makes a fleet of Sagi-S to use the triple Prow Lance's Extreme Range +150% to focus down the cutting ships/Flyssa Destroyers, Cogitation mystery ship and Heavy Snipers while our SBGs hold the line and swarm with strikecraft.
Idea is the long range instant alpha strike can destroy or weaken the mystery ships before they can pull off their tricks.
All our Hivers get Carapace armour when the Revolution pops off.
Round out Taurus' for easy Hymn transport groups, a little more Ortillery.
Next Turn: Trigger Voxx Revolution, SBG Basilisk 1/2.5 -> 2/2.5, Evac Fleets 2/4 -> 3/4
First Turn in the War: Activate Emergency Mode

Doesn't the Free Duchy have a shield system where their shields are linked together and make it difficult to pop and eliminate individual ships?
Then this can get them to blow it early instead of after they have already gotten in close range.

The Garden Built Under A Noble Houses Ambitions - [Canon]
"Didn't you hear? The Inquisitor got called away!" Estelliana spoke in a lilting voice that betrayed her offworld origins.
"No, really?" Nessa replied, feigning shock. She already knew the inquisition had gone, of course, and anybody else would have known she knew it. But Estelliana was newly arrived along with her mistress, and so she'd think she was doing Nessa a favor by telling her.
And that will be the start of a amicible relationship, instead of the hostile one you would first assume if you took into account our mistresses and how their families view each other.
"Yes, the Inquisitor and all six ships along with him! He had been here a while, is that true?"
"He had." Nessa confirmed, pursing her lips. "Sticking that crooked nose of his into all sorts of affairs. Rooting out heresy, or so he said. But, nothing to be found. Chasing space plasma, he was." She shrugged. "We bore him with good grace, even my mistress as the sister to his Grace. What else is one to do with the Inquisition? I wonder what sent him haring off." With that she sent a curious look at Estelliana, prompting her for more.
The other maid pursed her lips, then grinned conspiratorially. "Well. I don't know the details, but I do know that there was some fuss kicked being kicked up about Voxx Primus, if you'll believe it. The Hive world."
Nessa had to suppress a sneer.
Just because I'm stuck here doesn't mean I don't know what Voxx Primus is. It's the stronghold of one of my Mistress's childhood friends, after all.
It was true that very limited information came to the planet. The planet of Manna Paradisa was lush and gorgeous, sparsely populated and covered with nature preserves and cities focused on providing luxury to the inhabitants. But they also worked to create the illusion that the galaxy at large did not exist, and largely succeeded at it. That meant it was damnably difficult for a not-quite-exiled Viscount Esmerelda Manna to acquire information. It was an intentional thing, meant to interfere with Esmerelda's plans and prevent her from achieving... well, much of anything. But she chafed at the limitations, so the Viscount had tasked her maids to learn anything they could from the new arrivals.
"Oh, what a place." Nessa said, wrinkling her nose. Then she laughed slightly and decided to twist the needle slightly. "You know, my mistress was childhood friends with Lady Governor Omamsi, from before we came here." She waved her hand around to indicate the planet. "And I was the best of friends with her chief maid."
Estelliana flushed slightly, dipping her head to acknowledge the assumption she'd made and how Nessa had forgiven it. "I really don't know much, but I overhead a conversation between two Grand Admirals about corruption in the hives, and how serious it was. Apparently even though the Lady Governer Omamsi doesn't build a lot of ships, almost a third of our ship crews and special assets come from Voxx Primus."
And that's why Omamsi weilds so much influence in the Duchy. Influence she didn't bother to use to get us off this stifling emerald pit.
Nessa put a hand over her mouth. "Oh my. Well, then there's no wonder the Inquisitor left so quickly. I hope the Emperor's Blessings go with him." She made the sign of the Aquila, and Estelliana hesitated before following suit. And it wasn't a very good Aquila, with fingers ever so slightly misplaced. Nessa smiled, but let it go.
"So, tell me of the Lady Manna!" Estelliana chirped a moment later, happy to steer the conversation to more familiar waters. "She must have such demands on you! I can't imagine anything less of the Duke's sister."
"Oh, you would not believe what I told you." Nessa said, her smile growing coy. "It's less the dresses and more the parties. She throws these private parties - well. I shouldn't say."
They pattered on for a while, with Nessa dropping pre-prepared nuggets of information about her mistress and extracting nuggets from Estelliana in trade. Except, Nessa was better at it.
And, I'm playing on the same team as my mistress, while you're playing on no team but your own. What a foolish girl.
She meant, of course, both Estelliana and her mistress.
--
"My dear Nessa, what did you learn?"
Nessa felt her cheeks flush as Esmerelda arched a lovingly sculpted eyebrow in her direction. She always felt that way whenever her mistress directed full attention towards her. But this time, she had good news. "Several things. Most importantly, the Lady Siltren doesn't seem to know how to inspire loyalty in her subordinates."
The eyebrow arched higher, and Nessa rushed to clarify. "Oh, it wasn't disloyalty, but her servants don't share her objectives. I was able to learn more than lady Siltren likely wants you to know, and Estelliana wanted to know just the bare minimum required to satisfy her. " Her lips curved up in a self-satisfied smirk. "I gave her everything we planned. And learned much in return. First off, the Inquisitor left to go to Voxx."
Esmerelda gave a delicate snort. "Oh, I do wish dear Omi the pleasure of his company. No wonder - hives are always dens of scum. I wonder what roused his ire."
Nessa shrugged. "Whatever it was, it seemed to have the admiralty worried, according to Estelliana. They want to make sure they hold onto the system."
"Hmm. That is a lever to use. Surely some admirals will care more about their pet wars against the greenskins and the cruel ones. Now, what of lady Siltren?"
With a nod, Nessa continued her report of all of the things she'd learned of the new noblewoman. There was nothing shocking, but it would be enough to allow Esmerelda to cuttingly insult or ingratiate herself, whichever she desired.
"What would I do without you, Nessa?" the Viscount replied as two maids sewed her hair together while another four assembled her gown around her. "Now, step forward and take care of my makeup. To greet our newest inmate, it must be perfect."
Her report completed, Nessa stepped forward to attend to her mistress's face, working delicately with powders worth more than she was. It was a delicate art to work with the gold and crimson highlights her mistress preferred. But as ever when she worked to make Esmerelda beautiful, it felt like there was another hand guiding hers. Esmerelda was already a work of art, but Nessa felt sublime joy in enhancing that beauty, in her hand being the one to bring it to new heights.
Another maid stepped forward to give her own report, this one on things she'd learned during an orgy with Baronette Handemar's kitchen staff. Given that he was hosting the soiree this evening, she had crucial information on the plans for the evening as well as furthering their infiltration of another noble's staff.
Three more reports came and went before Esmerelda was done preparing, and she looked around the room, tapping her finger against her artfully painted lips as she chose the one who would accompany her tonight. After a moment her lips curled into a satisfied smile and she pointed at Nessa, who felt her toes clench.
"Nessa my dear. You will make a fine escort. I'm sure the Baronette will be enamored." She leaned close, speaking directly into Nessa's ear. "After all now that the Inquisitor is gone we can resume the Path of a Thousand Whispers."
Author's Note: I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that there are some chaos cults among the bored high nobility relegated to a garden world to keep them away from power. I'm taking a little bit of artistic license in saying that the sister of the current duke is unsatisfied with being stuck here and has turned to Slaanesh for help, but I think it's very reasonable. I... uh. Just hope it doesn't blow up in our faces. We'll see!
Now somebody should do this one. I wanted to, but couldn't come up with a good idea. You don't have long before it expires!

Yup yup! I hope the logistical armor will let our hivers start churning out high-quality armor for themselves right before all this shit kicks off. Then eventually we'll get the next 2 researches to double our number of SAGs. Then we'll really be able to go a 'conquerin.

The intelligence could be very important. But I think the logistics feel more useful when supplying a Hive revolt then the Grav-chutes. Though I can see some uses for drop troops, they're would probably just be too few of them.

[X] Plan: ALL IN, The River
Whew, finally got to the computer and save a slot for myself. Family gatherings are hell, but Songs List are updated and have songs asked so far. You guys go ham when a new Melody is available. A lot to go over two updates in one day. So next turn is when we have to trigger the Revolution and free Voxx Primus.
Okay if we go back the recent turns based on 830-850 and go back to 530-550
Significant Chaos Offensive - 530.M42. This was when Qulach's Forge got Nuked by Caine, the Mashan Temple Authority came by and tossed 'The Dangers of Chaos and how to avoid them 101' at us.
534.M42 - Thirty Seconds Passed- Rak'Gol show up through the webway.
540.M42 - ISHAS FUCKING TITS - Eldar from Lone Wave show up and ask what the hell happen, we ask them can they shut off the gate or can we just nuke the gate? Eldar are not amused and tell us not to touch it. Defenses are built around the gate.
555.M42 - Compassion, Mercy, Justice - Teeln the Star Prophet passes on peacefully.
560.M42 - A Lost Heartbeat - Miracle happens, after death the souls of the faithful are protected by the emcompassing wing. Yeeni bring back a Necron ship.
So basically there WAS another Space marine Chapter that passed through the Dutchy territory around the time this was all going down. So then we do have another Space Marine chapter roaming about on this side of the rift and was in the sector relatively recent.... One that may or may not show up during this. I highly doubt it would time it and they wouldn't ask for help should things really get bad but something to consider.
Your thoughts on this guys? I know its stuff that can wait until after the war and when we need to worry about it but still just intial thoughts on this. My thought on this it might be alpha legion pretending to be normal Space Marines or a space fleet chapter and the reason they didn't go our way and fight us right after the 621 War was because of that conspiracy that said there already were expeditions sent out our way and reported back there was nothing there and just dead worlds. The timing of this is suspect.
FUCK, well we expected this with the Chaos attack there. So Inquisition is there in force but not bringing in entire fleets with them. At least we got more people going to our side and underground railroading them to our areas.
Okay that song is a good name and seems to be a general info song. mostly going to give us useless info with how much of the 40k is a shitfest but with any luck it will give us something nearby to do. Gonna be keeping that one in my back pocket to suggest. If only we can spare the Actions for it.
I know it won't and it would be a bad for what it would mean and the writing of omakes solely for trying to get an action. But I want to try to get some songs every three or four turns.
.... can we just.... wait. Wait a minute. looks at mechanzied FUCK we don't have any fully tracked vehicles! Damn it I was going to say can't we just magnetize something like the Tarox's treads and drive up and down the sides of the spires and like. none our vehicles can do that can they?
Fuck I should have thought of this and tried to get something earlier. oh well.
the titles sound fine but I want to make sure.
second one feels like logic or suppressing emotion.
third one more of the same.
Four one no idea and intrigues me.
hahaha, but really all good, it gets tiring or hard to make ALL of the songs ominous sounding to keep us guessing.
and was before we factor in their Auspex Array, that would reveal stealth.
huh.... second one is strange but I doubt we'll go for it.
Third seems like a weapon that can go either way.
second one a hope inspiring song and maybe morale boost.
third is.... a gamble. make everyone into an optimist? or could this boost our actions but blind us to developments?
Second one seems worth trying out at least. Could be good against psychic intrusions and the like.
Third one seems ominous given the bird/shellfish fracker but not sure how one would drown in hope unless its to make people who can lost it they can't help but have it again.
The Lamenters are the embodiment of it and would make the Emperor and Sanguinius proud. they go above and beyond what other Space Marines would have done. Though I thought Chyron already did everything and choose to side with us fully, so what else is there to ask now?
Can someone knowledge of the Codex give me a rundown of what the Codex says? All I know is the Purpose the Rebooty Gorlliaman made it and was made to break up the legions into chapters so nothing on the scale of the Heresy could happen again with that many Space Marines. It was mostly about limiting the damage the Ruinous powers could do to the Space Marines.
So if I'm understanding this correctly, the Lamenters are looking at and questioning the specific wording of only the Imperium and no one else. Still don't know what its building up to but might be time to let them leave the nest and roam around. The parts of 'only fought when forced by Honor and need' lend themselves as not fine with just those times as they focused on rebuilding and the like.
Oh boy, this honestly sounds like the Beginning of a Crusade!.....
....
.....
@HeroCooky Please tell me, for the love of all that is holy, they aren't gonna go on a crusade into the dutchy to save the people there and we're gonna have to tag along to make sure they wont' died and might be overstretched by this?
[X] Plan: Military Intelligence
I seriously love this aspect of our psykana and how our faction is, the drawing for each one of the melodies and songs along with the descriptions in of them. just something unique and always happy and eager to see when a new one is added. Very fitting picture of it.Break Your Chains
My soul sees freely, my mind fears rightly,
For who can guess my thoughts, as I flit through the night,
No man can stop me, no hunter can kill me,
For my soul sees freely, and my chains lay shattered,
For none can cage me once more, within the dark shadowed pits,
No king can jail me, no god can bind me,
For my soul sees freely, and I shall die freely.
Classic image for Justice and a good one. I do like this is a 'forgive but never forget'. and 'do on to others as you do'.
The Scales never show favor.
Neither shall We.
Oh torpedo's too? and I guess missiles as well? well after the war then we could try adding that since most our fleet using missiles and torpedos, second with Macrocannons. I think given that info it is worth it.Auto-Loaders help with all physical munitions. Like torps.
Ans SPTS helps acquire targets. You need to hit an enemy with your weapons to hurt them.
....OH UP THERE. I need to go back now.

560.M42 - A Lost Heartbeat - Miracle happens, after death the souls of the faithful are protected by the emcompassing wing. Yeeni bring back a Necron ship.
So basically there WAS another Space marine Chapter that passed through the Dutchy territory around the time this was all going down. So then we do have another Space Marine chapter roaming about on this side of the rift and was in the sector relatively recent.... One that may or may not show up during this. I highly doubt it would time it and they wouldn't ask for help should things really get bad but something to consider.

Your thoughts on this guys? I know its stuff that can wait until after the war and when we need to worry about it but still just intial thoughts on this. My thought on this it might be alpha legion pretending to be normal Space Marines or a space fleet chapter and the reason they didn't go our way and fight us right after the 621 War was because of that conspiracy that said there already were expeditions sent out our way and reported back there was nothing there and just dead worlds. The timing of this is suspect.
Oh, okay than. just wanted to ask since it has been a while and I didn't remember that. Word of QM on this and it is noted now.
huh, swapping out the ships but replacing them with a few more of the same class.... So what I'm hearing is the dutchy are afraid of those Destroyers being corrupted based on a reason and going to purify or investigate the three Flyssa Destroyers. We can't find anything out on this so sadly we will have to go in blind on this.
FUCK, well we expected this with the Chaos attack there. So Inquisition is there in force but not bringing in entire fleets with them. At least we got more people going to our side and underground railroading them to our areas.
Well we know that going in from last turn and we are trying to speedrun any last preparations. Also I will say this, worst comes to worst we just cannibalize the incomplete SBG for replacements needed for the SBG's in Voxx Primus after battle. Not good by any means but the option is there for an emergency if we can't complete it.
Haaaa, really? just after we did the Macro research and such? next time then.
OH COME ON! Please tell me this auto-being done because our 1st warpack is LITERALLY ONE AWAY from being Veteran group.
Huh so that's her split. kinda scary this is how its showed or built and how the mixing works out.
Okay that song is a good name and seems to be a general info song. mostly going to give us useless info with how much of the 40k is a shitfest but with any luck it will give us something nearby to do. Gonna be keeping that one in my back pocket to suggest. If only we can spare the Actions for it.
Holy shit, I love the name of this but not sure other will go for it. God I wish we could grind omakes for just 1 action and direct it, because it feels we won't do songs unless we are going into a situation and need the advantages. Like if we find chaos again I suspect suddenly we will be willing to spend two actions for the songs that seem to be geared against it.
I know it won't and it would be a bad for what it would mean and the writing of omakes solely for trying to get an action. But I want to try to get some songs every three or four turns.
Oh shit. this one is rather.... I wouldn't say uprising songs but that breaking point directed at monster people know if their lives based on the perspective of justice. Might be worth research.
Ahh, so our version of Skitarrii. fair enough and wasn't expecting too much. so are these just cannon fodder or what? or is this more like Kil'drabi and more for specialized troop for extreme environments? IN this case being more for Void, deathworlds, extremely toxic worlds and the like?
.... can we just.... wait. Wait a minute. looks at mechanzied FUCK we don't have any fully tracked vehicles! Damn it I was going to say can't we just magnetize something like the Tarox's treads and drive up and down the sides of the spires and like. none our vehicles can do that can they?
Fuck I should have thought of this and tried to get something earlier. oh well.
Again the naming scheme and why Tribe? I want to do one of the Tribe songs just so I can finally understand the working of it and the reason for the name.
Indeed. And as a light tank it should work fine and be suited for this. Sadly its the only one and going to be overworked.
Why? Why do you do this to us?
there, there QM, I have to share your pain as well. Have a Digital Biscuit.Please. Have mercy...
Okay, so besides this being Six melodies long, Maladies mean diseases or ailments. So this means Ailments of Bleak Souls shall not touch us or prosper. I want to ask again can we do Six Melodies in a song or what was the ruling on that again?
the titles sound fine but I want to make sure.
Interesting overall. first one confuses me a bit and gives me thinker impression.
second one feels like logic or suppressing emotion.
third one more of the same.
Four one no idea and intrigues me.
Ohhhh, me likely. another one to add in the back pocket.
SHAMEFUL DISPFLAY.
hahaha, but really all good, it gets tiring or hard to make ALL of the songs ominous sounding to keep us guessing.
Ah so game of telephone with the backup being the post service delivering stuff to other systems and just sending a courier on them. At least we have back ups but yah, wondering if upgrading the Melody components of the song would change that and boost it to be able to do it within the same sector. Interesting to see how it works now though.
yahhhhh, I figured as much. If only because I think this kind of ship and weapon is more suited for large ships and focusing fire on them since the ships matter as oppose to the low weight focus of the Dutchy with the light warship spam and only a few large ships that are in the backline. and given the Dutchy is torpedo spam... yah this isn't good against them.
and was before we factor in their Auspex Array, that would reveal stealth.
I can't tell if that's hint of the future turns or saying we need to ASK them about it instead of assuming they will.
Truly, the first song is the bane of many species. and seriously that is some of the worst combos to have.
huh.... second one is strange but I doubt we'll go for it.
Third seems like a weapon that can go either way.
Ohhh i like the first one here, another for the pocket.
second one a hope inspiring song and maybe morale boost.
third is.... a gamble. make everyone into an optimist? or could this boost our actions but blind us to developments?
First is interesting but not sure about that phrasing and could go either way for us.
Second one seems worth trying out at least. Could be good against psychic intrusions and the like.
Third one seems ominous given the bird/shellfish fracker but not sure how one would drown in hope unless its to make people who can lost it they can't help but have it again.
Yah that checks out with fleet expansions going on. And the Lamenters? okay lets see what's going on-
Oh, they're going another introspection. Another one since Chyron did before the war with Neon right before the Ruinous powers split Neon into pieces. And given they were going over the Codex and re-examining it. It was meant for the Imperium and it having more than one Space Marine chapter, along with a vastly different value system. Some thing the Codex calls for or suggests just isn't possible anymore or that the Lamenters don't have to worry about at all. At their core, what was said here IS what was Space Marines are supposed to be.
The Lamenters are the embodiment of it and would make the Emperor and Sanguinius proud. they go above and beyond what other Space Marines would have done. Though I thought Chyron already did everything and choose to side with us fully, so what else is there to ask now?
I... Okay? that is true and given the nature of the situation here the Imperium is just a past memory and can't really do anything on this side and has no reach. So I guess this makes sense considering the Codex is from the Imperium and followed for the most part there, hence the asking of 'why are we following this book again?' and the foundations of it. And all that is on this side of the rift is the Lamenters and those scattered worlds. SO given that, the Codex is not enough and changes need to be made to reflect the changes and adapt to them is what I'm guessing.
Oh. OH. Okay. nope, I guess seeing the other two Imperium Successors and what history of the Imperium we have isn't good and seeing what the Glimmering Federation has accomplished. They see the Flaws in the Imperium, they know what the Space Marines were meant to be and have been idle.... Is this our fault for not being involved in anything and just giving the Lamenters time alone with their thoughts? this sounds the basis of them deciding to start venturing out on their own and roaming about. They'll still be on our side and come back to visit but they will be moving and defending Human worlds and the like.
Can someone knowledge of the Codex give me a rundown of what the Codex says? All I know is the Purpose the Rebooty Gorlliaman made it and was made to break up the legions into chapters so nothing on the scale of the Heresy could happen again with that many Space Marines. It was mostly about limiting the damage the Ruinous powers could do to the Space Marines.
Frack after listening to Warrior Tier's Lamenters, this hits different. Also the fact I now know of some of these events and locations. The History in it.
So if I'm understanding this correctly, the Lamenters are looking at and questioning the specific wording of only the Imperium and no one else. Still don't know what its building up to but might be time to let them leave the nest and roam around. The parts of 'only fought when forced by Honor and need' lend themselves as not fine with just those times as they focused on rebuilding and the like.
Ohhhh boy, I guess after this upcoming fight with the Dutchy the Lamenters are going to start expeditions or the like, We will help them if they need it. Re-Examining what it means to be an Space Marine and what is expected of them. And they are indeed no longer following the Codex anymore... okay so no other chapter being founded and specializing for other things, I guess this means they will start growing beyond the one thousand mandated strength chapter and be more then one thousand strong.
Oh boy, this honestly sounds like the Beginning of a Crusade!.....
....
.....
@HeroCooky Please tell me, for the love of all that is holy, they aren't gonna go on a crusade into the dutchy to save the people there and we're gonna have to tag along to make sure they wont' died and might be overstretched by this?
Damn that was a powerful passage for this chapter and I see now why your muse was beating you over the Head QM. Top Notch and great writing for that. good job.
You really couldn't have rolled this before the Lamenters did their fleet refit New Danw?
the time draws near, next turn we pull the trigger and go loud.
Oh Thank God it was auto and we will have a full Veteran Warpack in time.
AH, okay so they are focusing on the Dutchy war and are preparing for it next turn. Still a bit confused on what they are aiming for beyond aiding in the war and the thing of standing aside through all of this.
Yahhhh, after the past few updates and comments this needs to be included or there will be a panic. One more turn people.
I would say its enough its not perfect but should be enough for what we've done for it by now.
