you would nut have had this, the only reason that it was an option was the fact that you had chosen a warp touched world

I get that, what I was alluding to was the general difficulty, not the specific event. So far every military threat we've faced has only escalated in intensity with Pink Skies being the new peak. Future military threats are only going to be harder to defeat and they can't all come from the fact that we live on a Warp-Touched world which means they MUST come from the greater galaxy. If the greater galaxy can produce a threat capable of surpassing what we just went through, what hope would we have had if we chose any other build?

No they came from the warp.
You know that place where space doesn't matter and there can be and is infinite number of beings.

Reread my post. You completely missed what I was trying to say.

You are correct and I apologize.
As for threats remember @durin has alluded to Krorks, nid ork hybrids, the new Eldar BSing their reincarnation, and of course Chaos everywhere what with Black heart now with a massive empire and Abaddon battering down the door of Cadia.
More than enough threats to keep us occupied.

Also, I would like to be clear: this is NOT a complaint. @durin, you're doing nothing wrong with the difficulty curve or anything, it's fine. I'm just contemplating how utterly, dreadfully horrible this galaxy you've made is.
Which is a good thing, because this is Warhammer 40,000. You've been subtle about it, but you've been channelling the Hopeless War aspect of the setting very well, the best I've seen in a 40k game so far.

It's ok. Happens to me sometimes as well.

thank you, I am trying to get it across
Do any of those eat souls?
Ought to make this a Rough Rider unit. Aridia has Rough Riders not Light Infantry.
Why? What use does that serve?
Why? It's a needless complication that detracts from the game and adds nothing to it.

Thank you so much for that post, Durin, I just spent around 3 hours wandering the endless maze of TVTropes. ^^;;

Thinking about it; don't we already have divisions? If only informal at the moment; the Black Irons for example number 1 Million plus and have been designated a division in a number of posts yet seem to be kept together as a single unit instead of being dispersed into separate brigades and regiments. Looking at an adhoc organization chart, I don't think that it'd make much sense in going from 100k strong unit commands to 10 Million plus ones;
Captains>Companies
Majors/Lt. Colonels>Battalions
Colonels>Regiments (10k)
Brigadiers>Brigades (100k)
(Major Generals??>Divisions??)
Lt. Generals>10 Million troops+ Theater
Lt. General(Helltroopers)> All Helltroopers
General> Planetary Military
But it's up Durin, this is just my opinion.

Lieutenant-General Khol gains trait Ruthlessly Pragmatic (+1M, +1I, -1D, -5 morale to troops under her command)- During the defence of Helm's Deep Lieutenant-General Khol led almost every soldier under her command to their deaths, with only a single regiment surviving out of the over two hundred that begun the battle. Despite this the siege was indubitable a success, with the majority of the civil an population suvving and the city remaining mostly intact. The ruthless pragmatism that it took to order her men to certain death so that more of the civilians would be able to live has left is mark on the already cold Lieutenant-General, and on her reputation.
Damn Khol is starting to become the definition of a Russian General in ww2. Loses damn near everything within the army to acheive victory, wow. That said, I'm happy that she was able to save so many civilians and infrastructure at Helms Deep.
@durin 1. I'm guessing the frozen regiment were part of Khols army and the Helms Deep garrison?
2. If so, why is it that they like Khol? Do they just see it as a well deserved cost for the people that they saved?

that is an excellent question and likely why she's not being trained as a heroic Primaris just yet.
She's not being trained as a Heroic Primaris because she's moving up from Veteran to Elite. Skipping a rank to become Heroic would be very unusual, considering just how big of a deal being a Heroic Primaris is.

huh, and here I thought it was worry about possibly being under the thumb of a siren.
Given that the two were likely taken to Saint Lin to check for any shenanigans, I don't think it's likely that it would be that big of a worry. Having a magic screen against lies is very useful.
I see your point, but perhaps we ought to re-lable those theaters as Corps? You remember the scale that the Imperium works at.

@durin
1) Yay Tamia Jameson gets to be bumped up to heroic status! On that note, do you have the process for that? Aka is it something like in 3 years or whatever she emerges from her cocoon a badass butterfly, as soon as our next turn starts she's heroic, or we need to spend a Xavier action further tutoring her?
2) If it's something on the order of a year or a few training but no requirement for an action spent, could we get the option to spend a heroic action on tutoring to improve her stats as a heroic Primaris?
3) For those who are yet to become hero units but still lived through the Incursion, will they get the Pink Skies survivor trait--or maybe a slightly reduced version to reflect that they were a lower priority target?
