Welcome back to the world of Damnatum Lutum!

Damnatum Lutum is a 40K greentext series that aims to have fun (Rule of Fun/Cool > canon) and build the world, one shitpost at a time. Previous threads can be found on suptg (they're not essential reading but help a lot with understanding what's going on) at http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=damnatum+lutum

[b]This is the final episode, so pull out the stops for this one. If you want to join, now is your chance, and let's try and make it good.[/b]

I was literally seconds away from making a new thread myself, good thing I decided to F5 the catalogue one last time before posting.

>Be PDF Colonel Lekatariba
>While its chaos around the city, losses in the PDF are low
>This is mostly because they have been assigned the low-risk perimeter
>Just as well too, since the other Guard units are much better at anti-Tyranid warfare
>All quiet on the western front too
>We know there are Tyranids that way, where are they?
>As I consider this, Guard units in the Sayle valley start radioing in contact with the horde
>It's not just the bugs that terrify me, it's when they don't just charge blindly like they're supposed to
>I'm sure they will reach our lines soon and and make us call the Astartes, like usual
>Speaking of Astartes, the Ultramarines have some serious balls coming back here after last time
>I know it's rumoured that they don't actually have any, but that's moot
>But the Tyranids aren't quite here yet, so for now we're doing something else
>A little old lady reported some Orks in a building over the street
>I know this woman, first she refused to evacuate and she jumps at everything
>I swear she must be a psyker given how much she knows, or thinks she knows at any rate
>It's probably nothing, but the last thing we want is Orks running unchecked right now
>There's nothing off about the building, and a cursory look in the windows turns up nothing
>Feth this, we're needed elsewhere
>If the Orks are laying low enough for that, they deserve to stay there
>Besides, Orks aren't nearly sneaky enough to grasp the concept of hiding, and Ork commandos don't exist
>Check the vox networks for news on the other forces across the planet
>Curiously, they report that the Tyranids are being less gung-ho and tactical then usual
>It's like the Hive Mind is diverting the focus of its attention to a certain location
>But more to the point, it's permitted them to cling on by their fingernails for now
>We can only hope it stays that way

any requests for description of thread 7.0 when I save it to sup/tg/?

Something about it being the first part fo the final thread and Tyranids invading, nukes and volcanos going off should also probably be mentioned

>Be Dracon Wyen'dala, Kabal of the Frozen Heart
>The city of Liveria is mostly empty now
>After we determined that the Chaos forces remaining in the city were just mindless spawn and low tier cultists, we realized there was little value in encouraging a fight between them and the Tyranid swarm approaching from the west
>Good thing we have gathered a fairly large stockpile of interesting and deadly weaponry over the millennia
>After some debate, we settled on a bunch of cheap but effective darklight bombs, mixed in with some ossification amplifiers and Plague of Glass vials
>Luckily the Tyranid swarm that landed in this district is smaller than most of the ones attacking Groxbridge
>Now the Tyranid landing site and the western edge of the city is an interesting mix of smoking craters, obsidian statues, and gory bone-trees
>It is a pity that whoever ends up in control of the city will no doubt be unable to appreciate the beauty
>I have gathered most of the remaining Tau and their proxies into a respectably sized force under my command
>We are currently hunting down the remaining Chaos and Tyranid vanguard organisms and gathering survivors for my army, however, I am already planning my next move
>Although we have a temporary alliance with the Craftworlders, I have little faith in their mon-keigh allies, who will likely try to double cross us the second we outlive our usefulness to them
>Instead I send messages to Tolria and Kerala asking them if they need assistance at Stonehenge, where Eldar forces are much stronger than their Imperial counterparts

>Marauding lava flows have cut off and isolated large parts from each other, hindering both sides
>An air filter would be great about now
>I'm also quite sure that light off to the north was not related to the Saint
>I swear, if the Inquisition is messing around with nuclear devices again I'll shove one---

So is this just a story or is someone playing a campaing?

>>70068451
It's a story and if you want you Can create à character that can be part of it

>>70068451
It's just us dicking around and roleplaying via shitpost.

Presumably most of the regulars are currently being held hostage by their families for xmas.

Oh, by the way this episode (the seventh, including the linked thread - see the suptg link) is serving as the final conclusion to the saga (with the 1st in-universe anniversary bookending the story), so sadly you've caught us right at the end here. There might be an omake at some point which I think would be cool.

>Some of us may experience deafness after hours of this terrible noise
>While few can call its angular shapes, booming racket and overgrown, crumbling installation "pretty", its raw power demands a quiet respect
>If the Imperium of today could replicate its firepower, there are few doubts as to the outcome for the galaxy
>The powerful anti-aircraft batteries and squads of Firestorm grav-tanks continue to battle swarms of Harpies and Hive Crones
>Fortunately, it would appear that the level of firepower on the island is unexpected for the Tyranids
>This being evidenced by their inability to reach close enough range to perform attacks
>Scattered Tyranid forces have been spotted on the mainland but as of yet none have breached the access tunnel
>Of more concern are the fuel levels for the central fusion reactor
>Only minimal reserves of the non-standard deuterium-tritium mix the reactor requires were in place in time for the invasion
>These reserves were sufficient to last for approximately eight hours at full capacity
>Now these meager fuel reserves are rapidly reaching critically low levels and are projected to reach zero within a couple of hours
>If they run out, the entire complex will shut down and likely be overrun by flying Tyranids as well
>We have two options here to prolong operations
>Either we cease fire with the main cannons and stop supporting the fleet overheat but continue drawing aerial fire away from the city
>Or we shut down the fortresses keeping the aerial assault at bay and hope the Firestorms can maintain air superiority from the ground
>Neither of these option would be particularly beneficial to us, or indeed anyone

Orknon again here lads. If this ending seems a bit sudden for the Orkz, that's because it is. If I had the choice to stick around and post a bit more I would, but since Christmas is two days off I don't have that luxury anymore unfortunately. It's been a blast leaving this last epilogue here just to tie up what loose ends I still had left over, so here's hoping the thread ties up nice and neatly with the tyranids getting their asses kicked.
Merry Christmas all, and here's to the last thread ending on a good note and hopefully getting a meme-filled 1d4chan page when it's all over.

>Be inquisitor Leonpines Edric of the ordo Xenos
>Managed to get back on the corvus blackstar with the boys
>Closed the doors but not before throwing a vortex grenade to hierophant
>Who happily ate it
>What the hell ?
>We don't have time for this anymore!
>We need to get back to HQ to take ammo
>The pilot than start talking about deathsrike bombardment
>Oh no
>Get us out of here! Faster!
>Hear a big explosion and the ship start violently shaking
>Realize we made it alive
>Tell the pilot to startle the gunners about Inquisition in the sector
>Fly off to Groxbridge to get ammo and a bit of rest

It's been great to have you. The whole xmas thing was why I was initially reluctant to start the thread on the 13th but, who knows, it might even still be around after xmas. Hope to see you again in a future greentext thread if we don't again here.

I'm pretty sure you already nicked Stannim's shuttle from his ship and crashed it, but we'll gloss over that.

I'll try and give Duh Nyn'undrud an Firzt a suitably Orky epilogue in the post-script.

My bad, I was the guy who recommended waiting until the 13th in order to get the university students posting more, and to have a high post rate like the first thread, but it looks like it is mostly the usual crowd posting at a slightly higher than usual rate

If the thread really slows down over the next couple of days we may have to reboot it next weekend

>The Golden carapaces and grey skins of the hive fleet's lifeforms have piled up all around us
>A warm cloud of steam fog has spread out across the street as our line advanced
>A bright flash followed by a powerful shockwave from the north heralded the destruction of the north-eastern Tyranid Landing zone

>Holding the standard high he and the men closest to him charged forward weapons held high
>I and my remaining assault brothers used our jump packs to form the spear tip of the charge, our tactical brothers forming the backbone
>Soon the entirety of our remaining guard unit charged screaming down the street
>Thunderhawk provided close air support for us
>Despite having to stop several times to gather ammunition from fallen guardsmen, and the tactical marines having to wait for our thunderhawk to drop more ammunition for them
>For two and a half hours the guardsmen trampled over dead tyranids and their fallen brethren, surrounded by the thin clouds of warm fog and the nauseating stench of thousands of dead tyranids
>All the while the rain drenched us in humid water mixed with volcanic ash

>Having never seen human feet before, I try not to be too obvious with my staring, they are so soft and pink, and with weird little toes, nothing at all like the hooves of a T'au
