True! But that's sort of my point. Charlemagne may have Krell's armor and axe, plus his own tainted presence/power from the Dark Gods, but he's one guy. But he's capable of walking for, like, weeks without anyone even seeing him, especially if he doesn't take the main roads/paths. After the Vaults, his warband was entirely dead, his main spellcaster/magus was dead, and he was alone.

He was not, necessarily, like some Chaos Lords who are just walking wastelands, who leave burnt and hellish tainted earth behind them in vast gulfs like Archaeon or Crom might.

Charlemagne was running the most open band of Chaos Worshippers in Tilea/Estalia, and it still wasn't big enough of a deal to make the international Rumor Mill. It might not have seemed like it from Roland's/the Interlude's perspective, but Roland had/has a literal homing system thanks to his Grail Visions that are telling him precisely what direction to go in to get after his son, which pushed them to the desperation moves of sacking/razing more openly to get more resources to try and keep ahead of him and the band of Furies and their Furiosa.

All I was saying is that the wilderness is big enough that if you aren't actively sacking/raiding/razing/invading/attacking/etc. various settlements, it is possible to just sorta move through 'em without people noticing as much. And those that do, like isolated trappers/hunters/etc. are just as likely to have their disappearances blamed on it being the Great Forests of the Empire rather than specifically some raving Chaos Champion who cut them down and ate them.

How did Charlemagne avoid the beastmen in the empire? I see how Charlemagne avoided the humans of the empire, not understanding how he avoided the beastmen with their unhappiness with humans being the favoured of Chaos and having a really big beastherd. Or did he move through the beastmen like a knife to butter?

While beastmen hate humans for taking favor of Chaos as far as I know still work with humans who worship them since they still fight together in big conflicts. A sufficiently blessed Chaos Champion is basically marked as untouchable like their shamans I think.

Just a guess though.

Sigmar loves it when you sacrifice lots of orc heads to him by destroying them. Or do a Quest for Sigmar.

Going out to destroy that one gobling or orc tribe would be a metal as fuck act of penance and something different from the self mutilation freddy does usually.

I liike it.

Oh god... What does it say about me that I'm not questioning the use of boomdisk bombers but worry about the skaven adopting these tactics themselves?

why waste good-precious bombs on skaven slaves- dirt?
 
Oh boy, if we get through the Dark Elves and Beastmen, then we could have Charlie to deal with.

Who knows, maybe if he does something big in Kislev then the Civil War maybe put to the side to deal with this new Chaos threat.

Hmmm, if one of mercenary Bret pegasus knights die but their mount survives could that serve as a replacement mount @torroar? Assuming of course that actually happens during this conflict at all and rest of knights of party are good with it.

.... Wouldn't those mounts go back to the family of the deceased? Pegasi are reaaaalllyyy prized by literally everyone.
Well... If the deceased had no next of kin, and the liege lord to that knight had to find a rider, a questing knight backed by the Count of Ostland wouldn't be such a bad choice.

Landuin 2.0 : Skystomper ?

    please be mindful in how you use language Discussing suicide tactics in a quest or even having them employed in-fiction is not against the rules, if it is handled with a modicum of maturity and tact. Neither is "Jihad" is an inherently problematic term when talking about a struggle towards some goal (which is the actual meaning of the word), even in a military context. But when you're using it talking about suicide bombers... it's easy to read as making a blanket statement about all Muslims.

    It's worth remembering that by and large the only people who praise suicide bombing as an act of jihad are terrorist groups and their boosters: reputable Islamic scholars tend to repudiate it or remain silent, and suicide itself is a pretty serious no-no in Islam. Equating the tactics of terrorists with a concept as broad as jihad, which is comparable to the requirement for good works in Catholicism, is actually ceding a fair bit of ideological ground to extremists.

    Now, I realise that was probably not your intention here, but it can still come across that way to others. You've been given an infraction under Rule 2, and three days off from the thread. Please don't do this again.

    Thanks for your time.

    • You know if Thorgar hadn't sacrificed a good chunk of Nagash to Khorne Charlemagne would probably be more Undeath inclined than Chaos, taking up Krell's stuff.

    He's liable to head that way if he dies somehow, I doubt armor as ancient and necromantically powerful as that wouldn't have a failsafe to raise the wearer from death should they die in it.
     
    On the other hand, if he managed to off Charlamagne Roland will be in prime position to smash those artefacts over his knee, and do the world a favour.
    Not all bad news.
     
    Too late to vote, but just want to add my 2 cent to the Flagellant debate:

    The argument that because we turn Flagellant to suicide bomber, people in the future will be less inclined to give aid to them? I think it is not sound. Or to be more precise, any noble/general/leader who use this as a reason to not help Flagellant is a fucking idiot.

    Because a person with a sound mind is always better as a soldier than a Flagellant. Anna noted it herself. You can't train them as normal soldier, their minds aren't enough for that. You can't equip them with any complex equipment, their body and mind can't handle them or use them to its full extent.

    And as people has already noted, there isn't any practical downside in using Flagellant this way. This is purely an ethical issue.
