The Good Orks and their Warboss chapter master (shh, the inquisition didn't noticed yet) have been busy cleaning a lot of planet with "extreme" level of Tyranid population, that's my first play in which there were so many system infested (and with 0 population as Tyranid does kill and eat them all when they infest). Fortunately after an orbital bombing their threat become moderate and 2 raiding will clean without losses.

In the opposite side of the galaxy bunch of Orks (the Bad Orks i guess) have been busy overwhelming sectors or crashing into them, but nothing to alarming for my now cool side of the galaxy.

The inquisition requested 2 times the same mission : moving to a sector before an inquisitor probably suspected of heresy, and shoot him. Lucky the 2 times the sectors weren't far, so the Good Orks did a good work at not listening the attempt of heretic inquisitor to contact them and annihilated the humie without a second thought, for the emperor of course.

Got a funny event :


The system was at some distance, but i launched my fleet still there.
I learned that unchecked Necron awake reproduce at alarming rate, make a couple of orbital bombing then raid and once the raid is done without losses on your side, notice how the necrons are back at the threat level they were before the raid.
Meaning the only good method to kill more than they reproduce was orbital bombing, took some more and finally no more nekron.

when i was attempting to raid once the enemy was supposed destroyed , after the battle result there was a message about deep strike failing in tunnel due to lacking some tunel thing (i guess some ability i didn't took at the creation of the chapter). I wonder if that explain why raiding wasn't doing much in killing the necron threat.

Back to Whaagapolis , our homeworld.
Now let's look what's happening on the other side of the galaxy as messages about Orks seems to be a bit too regular


I see, note for later : avoid sending the Good Orks fleet that side of the galaxy, no way i can buy enough ships to face many of those with how small requisition come in (convinced a couple of time the imperium guy to give us some and even convinced once the mechanicus things and the sororitas to give us some requisiton, still far from being able to get barges)

Spoiler: Sacrilege? What Sacrilege? (click to show/hide)

Things are going surprisingly well. several planets cleansed, 4 ruins looted, and no major losses yet. Having trouble collecting geneseed though.

How do you get troops to engage melee? Only Dreadnoughts seem to do so, and my melee enthusiast pick is just lying there mostly unused.

That battle cry

Melee seems to be glitched.  Notice how orks hit you like 10 times total every round even though you're killing hundreds of them.

Then other times where you will end up in melee range and your ranged weapons will not work at all.

Quickest game I've had so far. Turn four and lost my battle barge to the warp. Since my chapter commander was on it I lost.

In previous version just for fun i unloaded my marines on an eldar ship and while my troops were dying slightly faster than his, at some point suddenly their leader died and their number crumbled to 1% facing my 30 % despite just before the leader died he was at 40%
And the 1% of the eldars was an avatar .

Each turn 24 swords were striking it without killing.
He managed to kill 1 % each +/-5 turns sometime more roughly, while still not dying.
After half a hundred of turns of the thing taking 24 swords striking it and still not dying (while my % was reduced to +/- 23%)  i decided to give up that battle.

A little more detail on remaining numbers in battle would be nice...or at least HP for leaders/boss types or something.

Also...this text...is there any plans or ways to increase the resolution on the text? Its so hard to read half the time

So I'm a little confused about assigning Psykers and Techmarines to the Companies. Do you just put them on the ship and drop them along with the companies, or can you assign them in some way I haven't seen. (Other than I guess, promoting?) It's kind of annoying having to manage them through the Librarium instead of through the Company.

That's what i hope too, the small text is difficult to read, and during chapter creation it's painful.

No idea, i usually use the Promote button to do the company switching.

Related, i tried to assign 7 Terminators (that were promotable as they were part of all my battle since start) to HQ, leading them into becoming Honor Guards.
But i ran into equipment problem :


On the armory guy where you can buy weapons/armor/vehicles/ships this weapon is not listed.
Are more weapons becoming available with time, or is that weapon not yet implemented ?

I would like to add some troops to the chapter master but i can't seem to do that even through the Promote button, so no idea if there's another way

You can try to convince the local sector commander to give you a new recruiting world.

Where's the interface for this? I've landed on half a dozen billion pop worlds and never had the opportunity to ask, and I don't see anything in the Imperial diplomacy menu for it either. Am I just being dense?

It's a recruiting license. It's damn expensive to.

Nope, you did that yourself at Chapter creation. You can choose the default equipment you have to have to upgrade it.

*Edit* Well, that is the second time I've lost my battle barge with my Chapter Master traveling. They should really make it so that doesn't happen to the ship with him on it. Insta-losing like that really fucking sucks.

[Blaze]

Well, went on a Crusade, lost 756 troops.

On the other hand my geneseed stocks have skyrocketed.
