Their mandate is interesting.

How does it compare to the mandate of the Red Flag Krork?

Red Flag Krork are just bio weapons without controls, they do what they were built to. Fight, win and conquer everything. Because they literally can't do anything else.

Durin Krork seem a little tiny bit more, human, for lack of a better word. Also designed to be more "people friendly".

Neutral good for Durin Krork, Neutral Evil for Red Flag.
 
So much good

and bad

Jacob is in the Caverns, if he gets out he's gonna be a paragon but that's a big if.
Tranth scored a critical on all ship weapons, this is amazing in every possible way.
The Kroks! Bleedin hell this is a game changer I don't even know where to start with that.
No techbane or understanding of wellspring, that's a kick in the nuts.
Da Crumpa is gonna be the biggest issue for us in the coming campaign, same size as the last flagship hulk but now empowered, ah crap.

This war is going to be unlike any other the Trust has faced.

Edit: Those secondary engines! Vanaheim will be salivating over them.

Another quest that updated last night. It's xianxia, which is sort of like overpowered wuxia, and has a stealth focused protagonist done well. I'm just happy that two of my favorite quests updated.

Also, so much rage at the Telepathica results. Damn it, two failures right where we needed them? And Jacob?

@Durin

1. Will we get any of the following options next turn?
1a. An option to rescue Jacob from his character building experience? Or will that be done automatically, or will he be left to rescue himself, or what?
1b. Further options in the nature of divinity from Saint Lin?
2. Will the Order of Restoration become more efficient in saving lives over time?
2a. Do they increase the survival chance of Avernite VIP's?
3. Does Ridcully think we should prioritize divining threats (the Crusade, the Waaagh) right now, or studying his wellspring trait?
4. Are the new Grav-weapon upgrades applied automatically, or will we get an option for them?

RF Krork are tyrants who enslave sophonts in service to winning wars. Durin Krork protect them. So they're very different.

Well their mandate seems to be protect life in the galaxy at any costs...

Kinda scary.

Actually Da Crumpa is even bigger than the Death's Harbringer...in fact it's about 20KM bigger.

One of it's three attendant hulks is the same size as Harbringer...

And they're going straight for Mar Saara...HEEEEY that's my colony :D

Oh and some Aesire ended up down there accidentally.

Errrr, don't take this badly okay? But I feel that between the Empire of Ashes and now those Krork, Durin is being way, way too nice about their characters, they basically feel like Humans with different Cultures rather than the completely different species they are supposed to be.... I just don't get a Warhammer feel from them anymore...
I must admit being just a bit disappointed.
 
Gargantuan Space Hulk Da Crumpa, which is around 63km wide.

Time to reclassify cyclonic torpedoes as tactical weapons.

I find myself wondering if that diviner/demonologist was Chaotic or not. Jacob has immense potential and I can well see a diviner getting it into their head that putting him through an Ultimate Trial By Fire / Training In Hell experience will create a hero capable of averting some future apocalypse.
Because frankly it you want to kill someone with a teleport you drop them in the ocean, not the Caverns.
 
Well the Kork I believe will work well with the Avernite foundation of a Eternal War and perpetual combat as core parts of their identity.

I like that for once there is some NobleDark big good in the galaxy beyond just Humans.

Why didn't that chaos beta teleport Jacob into the atmosphere or inside a magma worm or something?
If they could accurately teleport Jacob into the Caverns with its weird lovecraftian geometry thing going on they could of insta killed Jacob in any number of ways and they had the divination skills to ensure it.
What future were they working towards by putting Jacon into a situation where he had to break through his block in improving his sword skills or die?
Tis spooky.

Eh I dunno about you, but I never find alien species are not human like just with different cultures unless they're so different that the comparison just doesn't work. In fact that's what they're always like to me and when someone tries to make them not like that then they just end up being made stupid instead.

It's a artefact of the fact that we are human and so are the writers so we project onto them.

Yeah I had similar thoughts.

The way the psyker just laid down and died too along side the fact that it was able to teleport him into the caverns in the first place only adds to that idea.

If I were a betting man and he was chaotic Jacob probably wearing armour.

I'm not sure which armour exactly, but all of them can fly to an extent.

Also you can't teleport into living creatures I'm pretty sure.

At least not ones that small (relatively)

Still as Forge said, if he wanted him dead he'd have used the ocean.

Warhammer usually does it well, even if only by making them all monsters in our eyes...well wathever, just wanted to give my thought on this.

Well the DE are still around and are still ******** holes, the Beast is rampaging and the Tau probably still cut people's nuts off so it's not like everyone's gone good :p.

@Durin
1. How certain are we that the diviner/Daemonologist that teleported Jacob was chaotic? It doesn't say that it was and it just laid down and died so...
2. Why is Ridcully hopeful? Premonition?

Just had a thought, anyone know what the Nids are doing. I don't remember them being mentioned and if they have can some one remind me

War in the Void.

Basically the Silent King purged the fleets in the galaxy (as far as we can tell) and has been running a massive blockade against the Grand Devourer for the past 700 years.

Currently stalemate as far as we can tell, which isn't great, but the last thing we need is a four way punch up between the Crons, Beast, Krork/Eldar and Nids even the war in heaven was only a two way punch up.

Especially since the nids can manufacture Apex Levels.

@Durin - is it spelled Krork or Krok? If the former, you really need to add the word to your browser's dictionary so the autocorrupt stops messing it up. If the latter, why?
