8=pleasure world

You come from Vexis II, also known as the black pearl, a small temperate planet hidden away in the obscure void of Imperial space. It is not present in most records of the officio administratorum, and its location is a closely guarded secret. And it is not the Inquisition that has purged this world from the files, but a cabal of extremely affluent and wealthy Imperial aristocracy, galactic traders, and Cardinals -whose months-long revelries and exotic celebrations teeter on the edge of acceptable Imperial morality. The feasts and … occasional… excesses of its guests are best kept in the dark, for the betterment of the Emperor – ofcourse.
Vexis II hosts a comfortable almost-tropic climate, with white beaches, rolling golden hills laden with vineyards , and white palatial complexes shining out over the untouched plains and forests of Vexis II.
Its ‘’personell’’, or permanent inhabitants, number in the few millions. A planet of luxury, unaccustomed to any upsetting of the status quo. Nevertheless, old formalities have ensured Vexis II has its own Planetary Defence Force, though nothing more than a tiny skeleton crew mainly used for policing drunken nobles – and only with severe restraint.

(You) were comfortably sitting at your office, leaning in your fat chair, playing a little ‘’qst’’, drinking a glass of whiskey that is ten times worth your annual salary, smoking a cigar that fell out of some Cadian Arms dealer’ pocket, when the centuries’ old alert systems started buzzing red and ruining your lazy day.

(1/2)

OP how much more rolls do you need ?

(you) are, in fact:

>Philladelphia ‘’Phil’’ Collins, a mountain of obesity and grease – the notorious walross-moustached balding ‘’Commander’’ of the Vexis II PDF. Age 56, accustomed to comfort, averse of violence. Slippery like an eel, your expertise lies in avoiding conflict and sussing up to the upper-folk that visit your fine, fine world. Has a preference for Garloid Wine.

>Randy ‘’Bobandy’’ Snortfish, a fat, merry little man, who lives only for what he can put into his little happy mouth. 40 years old. A cook, a connoiseur, a lover of life. Moisturized, happy, stays in his lane. You host weekly feasts for the PDF officer core, which are a great success. One day you hope to put your signature dish in the famed restaurant Lafleur – the best restaurant of Vexis II. PDF commander, and star-cook?! By the saints, you can do anything Bobandy!

>Rick ‘’the snick’’ Princecock. A young lad, only 29, lanky and with sunken eyes. Put here in ‘’seniority’’ position as the commander of the local PDF more as a way to keep him from embarasing the esteemed Princecock family. Yes, you have f-ed up, more than a few times, and that one time with the Tau-hookers was out of line – even you admit that. But this place? Youre a Princecock, surely you can do better dan the PDF! Still, you can feed your degeneracy in this place without much trouble. Powders line your nostrils, bottles roll over your bed. The PDF? Who cares about those lazy schmucks, youre a better shot than any of them.

A makeshift collection of confiscated nobility firearms and mediocre quality autoguns. Who needs to shoot anyway? Just make them look imposing!

These dusty tubes are centuries, if not millenia old. Gilded, heavy with rubies and imported ivory. Who knows if they still work? Nobody still breathing on the planet ever seen them shoot.

Anons what do you think about getting advanced combat drills (300) , since the buttrape squad is incoming ?

>>4562298

Agree and adding

>heavy weapons cache (250)
>basic bureaucracy (100)
>communication equipment (100)
>Grenades (100)
>old Imperial manuals (50)

Should be enough to at least not die instantly. I think the plan here is to organize a full evac of the planet or hide until reinforcements arrive. I don't know what fleets we have but I suggest we tell them that death is coming and they better get ready to fucking bounce.

If I remember correctly they are very mobile but lack numbers and are kinda squishy. The heavy weapon and grenades should help with that, basic bureaucracy and comms are the very basics needed to run anything properly. I think our best bet is to bog them down somewhere and throw literally everything that we have at them, maybe try to bait them with some of our ripest whores and then shoot the everliving fuck out of everything

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vau2hG22DoQ

>>4562671
Yeah, they die horribly all the time. You know how stories of everyone but the Guard has the guard horribly ineffective and shitty?
The PDF takes that role in guard stories. They die as soon as the threat arrives, or get nearly wiped out with a few hardasses surviving.

What the guard can handle, the PDF can't. What the Guard struggles/ gets ass raped by, the PDF has already died.
They're the "Oh shit this a threat button" for lower threats, like Guards are for the usual threats in stories.

But as 40k is exageratted, they aren't entirely useless, just like the guard aren't worthless. Its just that you only hear about them dying horribly
Usually they're actually pretty effective, like how the guard is the standard for the imperium and thus pretty successful, despite dying by the legions when space marines show up

it's just that there's no story if the PDF isn't horribly murder raped or that the guard manage to fight back against the chaos fuckers

Unless the story is centered on them

>>4562674
Well odds are if the Guard doesn't show up, that means the local PDF dealt with it themselves, and PDF success stories probably only stay local to the planets they are from.

>>4562700
Yep. Hence why I said that they always show up to get brutalized. There's no story if the threat is stopped at stage 1. But no one wants to hear that, they like to read of struggle, heroism and danger and grimdark bullshit . Not pdf actually doing their jobs

>>4562704
PDF probably go through their own grimdark bullshit, to bad GW doesn't explore too much into that area a bit more, just average life of menials and PDF, local every day stuff.

>>4562297
Local auto guns for 150 since ripped off noble weapons might not be bad
Flak armor for 400 because aside from armor it also can serve as a uniform
Heavy weapons for 250 because come the fuck on
Officer training for 150 because capable officers matter
Infantry boots for 50 because I only had 50 points left.

This one has multiple votes, but mind you the regular troops do not have regular firearms with this budget

A suggestion would be to exchange advanced combat drills with local autoguns and either basic training or officer training like >>4562750
>>4562316 did
Or you wanna have PDF armed with nothing but handgrenades and imperial prayers, and thats cool i guess, just checking.
(Heavy weapons cache will provide only a few heavy weapons for strongpoints)

>>4562766
>Imperial quality lasguns (350)
Lasguns are versatile enough that you can use them as mini-meltabombs

>officer training (150)
we need dipshits that know how to boss people around while under fire

>advanced combat drills (300)
we need dipper shits to be whipped hard enough to keep fighting even when they think they shouldn't

>fuel (100)
fuel (promethium) is versatile for civilian, military, and Molotov uses.

>communication equipment (100)
Need to be able to shitpost through the vox network.

We can't afford the luxury of basic uniforms, autoguns might as well be nerf guns, ornate lasrifles are chinese quality flashlights, flak armour has always been as good as cardboard against literally everything in this universe so they might as well be wearing no armor at all, we have the las rifles as grenades, the weapons cache is tempting but too expensive, they don't need food supplies when you got xeno corpses and corpse starch, you don't need combat stims when you can take a bite out of a drukari.

>>4562790
Well shit !!!!!!

(honestly I still don't understand what drukari are , and why we are getting butt raped , can anybody explain ? )

+1 to that, without basic bureaucracy we will have much less dudes, but with fuel for vehicles and everyone properly drilled, we maybe can keep up with deldars hit and run thing.

What are the odds rick man gets a reality slap in his face and stops being a spoiled retard? Without having to be sold to an Haemonculi first, that is.

>>4562857

Pretty high I guess , that is if he doesn't die due to anal trauma ?

>>4562859
That'd be mercy compared to what the dark eldar have.

Really, being killed outright is a mercy to the dark eldar. If there's one race you DON'T wanna get captured by, it's the people whose entire civilization is about torture.

Also I really feel like the suicide pills should've been on a shopping list. Because it's fucking deldars we're talking about. You do not want to be taken alive.
If tactics will be next, we need to find a bunker. There is no way we can cover the entire planet from attacks

>>4562866
Damn 40k doesn't seem like a fun place , if you're not a super powerfull being , or a dumb mf Ork

>>4562871
>if you're not a super powerfull being
considering the emperor's state, it's not fun for them either

generally speaking, unless you're an ork then 40k sucks. that's it, even normal peasants who live their entire lifes in peaceful imperial worlds get their souls gobbled up by demons once they die.

There were many things you could have done during your last few boring, alcohol-mellowed years as PDF commander of Vexis II. Many of the things that were expected of you, such as parades, clean uniforms, proper supply chains, or even simple records stating who was in and who was out; and you neglected most of them. Who the f- cares anyway about some PDF on some black-mail ridden prostitute wineworld.
But they don’t call you Rick ‘’ the snick ‘’ for nothing. You might like a good party, but you have the blood of heroes in your veins, and there is nothing more relaxing than hunting deer with a boltgun. You were disgusted by the bloated, slow figures in the PDF; ‘’men’’ who had never been under fire, and were afraid of the noise their guns made. Men who couldn’t run a mile if their lives depended on it.
Forget about parades, forget about your damn food too – take care of that yourself. Forget about your pay, but you WILL shoot when I order you to. Thats what you told them.

>Nearly half the planet’s (arguably very small) defence budget was used to acquire top of the line lasguns from a corrupt imperial munitiorium captain – causing some poor starsystem to be without their ordered guns. You tried the lasguns out and they turn everything they aim at to molten slag.

>The rotten bloated officer core was kicked out and replaced with your cronies; old friends, indebted smugglers and other semi-criminal figures that needed a new home just as you. They have their faults, but they are loyal and sharp. You spent a considerable amount of Imperial crowns to making their lives comfortable, with proper living accomodation and good equipment; on the condition that they put the local PDF’smen into soldiers they could use. The PDF might look like a criminal enterprise, and you cant guarantee your ‘’forces’’ arent involved in some ‘’side work’’, but at least it works properly, and is able to kill to deal with ‘’competitors’’.

>The soldiers, many of them new recruits, were trained into the art of war, with some simulations even portraying mock Orcish or Heretical incursions to the planet. A high amount of frequent combat-drills has made the PDF trigger-happy and overestimate their own worth. They will fight with eagerness – for a while.

>a vast amount of fuel was stored in warehouses across the planet, allowing your forces mobility and speed for their un-armoured vehicles. Promethean and other sources can also be used as improvised explosives, and you may-or-may not have housed a few thousand barrels in the mouldy cellar of some unruly nobleman.

>state-of-the-Empire communication equipment was ordered, coming in the same batch as the misplaced Lasguns. Vox-communications, planet-wide warning sirens, radio, sattelites, antenna, you don’t know the specifics, but you should be able to communicate with Human Strongholds and units on Vexis II as long as they hold.

While you were sitting in your office, staring at the red screens and becoming half-deaf by the warning sirens, you receive an encrypted communication by an old rogue trader associate of yours, currently escaping Vexis II orbit with his vessel.
>When you read this it will be too late to run
>Drukhari slave raid
>Dont try to fight them
>Hide
>*Put a pistol in your mouth if they come for you*
>*Emperor Protects*

Drukhari…? It takes a while to remember what that old basterd is referencing to. You don’t hear that name often; and usually only in grim-dark stories told in seedy bars. Are those things even real? But if the stories are correct then you might be in big trouble. You don’t panic, you take a moment to think. Get yourself out of this Rick. You got this.

Choose!
>inform the planet an xenos invasion is imminent, activate the PDF and conscript the ‘’esteemed guests’’, who usually have sizable bodyguard detachments with them.
Evacuate the planet’s guestss at Vexis Prime, the capital of this world. It houses the only star-port with most of the star-faring ships present there. There is also the Governors Palace, an old but surprisingly well fortified compound in the midst of the city that could serve as a base of operations. You are PDF Commander, you will protect the people of this planet!
>Keep the news under wraps, they will find out soon enough. Mobilize the PDF and gather your forces at the Van Beek estates. Its a grouping of palatial complexes and ranches in a sparsely populated corner of the planet. Forests surround the structure, and its infamous wine-cellars go down for miles – the rumor goes.
The citizens of this planet can defend themselves, for what its worth.
>Go to Van Beek estates with half of the PDF, send half to Vexis Prime. With some luck the drukhari find you too much to bother and go for juicier targets.
>Drukhari makes you shit your pants. Gather whatever men are in the area, and head down into the bunker-cellar of the PDF HQ office – and lock the door behind you. Its time to pray and hope ''they'' skip you.
>Warn the populace, tell them to stay put, conscript what you can, and spread the PDF evenly over the major population zones. Many targets is better, no? You can go where you like (Vexis Prime, Van Beek estates, PDF HQ office cellar, palatial sewers, etc.)

There is no time to waste, options of hiding in the fortified basement beneath you flash across your mind ,as well as running into the wildnerness, but you are the PDF commander of VEXIS II. You raise your chin in pride, like a Princecock ought, and you hope you do not come to regret your pride

you activate the PDF and order an immediate mobilization at Vexis Prime, where most inhabitants are currently being woken up from their lounging cocktails and erotic fantasies by blaring air-raid sirens. You take your car and speed over the highwhay to the Imperial Planetary Palace. The situation there is already chaotic; the unruly nobles and decadent-rich officials are milling in the street in panic and uproar at the disturbance of their ‘’holidays’’. Cars and vehicles are gathering in the squares, and everyone, from the highest techno-feudal chieftain to the lowliest pdf infantryman, is coming behind you towards the Imperial palace.
How much time is left, you wonder. Hours? Days?
Any and all personell on the planet is currently racing towards the capital. Perhaps it was a dumb idea to concentrate everyone in one spot, perhaps it wasnt. You hands itch to fire off a round from your pistol.
At the gates of the Imperial Palace you are greeted with a detachment of local PDF who followed your orders to mobilize, as well as the gilded bodyguards of the Planetary Governor with ornate lasmuskets who eye you suspiciously.
The Palace is a great complex of steel, cemex, and brass, towering over the city like a shining mountain. It also houses one of the vew VOID shields able to withstand planetary bombardements and how many chambers it truly contains nobody knows for sure.
The planetary governor is an relic of an man, well over a century old, who may or may not have become demented. His name is Fredrick deSolvay III, and he doesn’t take kindly to those who interupt him. Nevertheless, formal control of the entire planet lies with him.

>request an audience with the planetary governor, inform him a xenos invasion is imminent
>inform the planetary governor you are declaring martial law and that VEXIS II is now under your direct military command – for the time being. You will take the palace as base of operations.
>Ignore the old man, he has no use for us and we cant waste time. Set up an alternative base of operations at the Star-Port of VEXIS II. It is a great complex, well fortified, though it lacks military emplacements. A small fleet of private space-faring vessels and tradehulks are stationed there.

>>4562924
>>4562918
I doubt you would get the nobles to dance in the streets when word is spreading out a xenos raid is imminent. Perhaps at gunpoint...
Explosives may or may not be placed in certain locations during combat operations, depends on the situation really. You have a lot of fuel stored at the city depots however...

>>4562955

>>inform the planetary governor you are declaring martial law and that VEXIS II is now under your direct military command – for the time being. You will take the palace as base of operations.

Frame it as a minor break in his celebrations and that we will handle it posthaste. He can relax while we figure everything out as this is clearly beneath him, send a bunch of whores and drugs to keep him occupied while we set up. I think we should also get in touch with that small fleet if we can, perhaps send some of the faster ones ahead to scout and give us an ETA on the elves?

>request an audience with the planetary governor, inform him a xenos invasion is imminent
He might have some shit cached away that could be helpful. If he's too busy partying or doesn't really care regardless of how much we try and talk with him then we go with option B.

Tell him we have to get him to safety, but really we are just taking him somewhere to be bait so we can kill some raiders. Make sure to broadcast it on communications not too obviously just make mention of vips being sent to a secure location over here, with other useless people who will only get in the way, or don't have good connections or grant us any favous if we save them.
>inform the planetary governor you are declaring martial law and that VEXIS II is now under your direct military command – for the time being. You will take the palace as base of operations.

Anyone who doesn't report for duty, or is just not even worth giving supplies or ammo, gets to be bait, since I doubt we have any "commissars" to motivate them to be fodder.

>>4562962
I like this; only change is can we use any of the least combat capable ships as kamikaze/fire ships against the Deldar? Maybe power them down and deorbit them on top of the xenos landing zones when possible?
>>4562972
I like this. Be nice to the old fart. Tell him we will do everything possible to secure his planet and it’s guests, but that any supplies or weapons he or his men might have could be a big help.
>>4562991
I like this too. However I suggest that any of the nobles that are being ‘problems’ get offered safety in the SUPER SECRET SECURE UNDISCLOSED LOCATION WITH LOTS OF DRUGS AND WHORES BUT BECAUSE ITS SO SECRET IT WONT NEED MANY GUARDS ... oopsie daisy, did I say that out loud over the comm system? The xenos won’t notice.

I mean if he is still alive we could go for it ?? Of course looting his guards is necessary , and maybe instead of killing him we turn him into human bait ?

>>4563264
human bait is a maybe? I'm leaning towards no. Despite the PG being a crazy senile old bastard, there might be SOMETHING he might know that might be worth keeping him alive for now.

>>4563267

>>4563271

We could use him as a means of getting the nobility to tow the line, by "generously" sending him to a bunker of drugs and whores we've advertised over "encrypted" coms with the promise that he'll be restored to power once the invasion is over.

attack = 19 (very high)

Digusted by the out-of-touch ramblings of an old madman, you order attack, starting by the personal use of your Las-pistol. The nearby palaceguards are riddled with laser-blasts and reduced to smoldering gilded corpses.
Your mean automatically follow pre-trained movements and spread out, attacking the palatial compound from multiple angles.
Not a single shot rings out from the palace windows. Faced with a torrent of lasers and screaming PDFsmen, and learning that their ancient weapons are no longer working, the hundred or so palace guard wave the white flag and drag out a wildly screaming Fredrick deSolvay III and throw him before your feet.

>execute Fredrick deSolvay III

Not wasting further time you allow yourself to be led into the Grand throne-room by the disarmed palace guard, closely followed by a host of your own forces.

''ahh-h-h, the throne of Vexis II''
It is yours now. Lets see how long you can keep it.
Following your near instantanous victory, not only your soldiers, but also a host of nobles has found its way to the throne of Vexis II. They demand an immediate audience.

What do you guys expect we can find in the palace? artillery? vehicles? Should we search the PG incase he has any Digi-weapons? If we manage to kill any of the dark Eldar, should we use their weapons against them, or would that be too heretical? Do you think we could sell any dark Eldar corpses, weapons, and vehicles to our Rogue Trader friend for better gear and stuff?

I don't think we're at the point of worrying if something is heretical. If it can keep us from discovering the joys of tooth-whittling, it is worth doing.

Have some "Loyalists" take him to a secure "locations". Give him a vox or something to scream into so the Druhkari can shut him him for us, if only for being so annoying. Detonate bomb. Profit!

Fredrick deSolvay III is put into custody, left to ramble in a locked room filled with baroque paintings and priceless furniture. He might be useful as Drukhari bait, or has to be interrogated a bit about his palace secrets.

You tell the nobles to leave at gunpoint, and gather your officers around. Screens and wires are set up around the throne, and slowly data and reports start trickling in.
Preliminary reports state several divisions are stuck in traffic jams on the highways towards the capital.
Your numbers have swelled to 2000 PDF, many of them were pulled from bars and brothels and need some time to clear their heads. Soldiers mill around in parks, at squares, with more coming in by trucks; looking mean and awaiting orders. If anything; it gives the local populace of VEXIS PRIME the idea they have not been abandoned in the wake of imminent XENOS attack.

The audience will be brief, in fact we will put it on clock how much it will last .. so they better prepare what they want to ask swiftly and without any embellishments. One ship will be send, the fastest of all. Chances that it will survive are quite low, knowing the dark eldars. Reaching any solar systems would be very difficult, instead If it s able to send a signal or a message to the nearby solar systems it would be excellent already.

All the other spaceships are needed for now for transport troops, equipment, civilians and supplies around the world to the capital. When the xenos arrive they will be used for the defense.
If any noble here as an actual minimal experience in the military and can stand a fight, we would like him to join in the defense. Everyone else can go in secure places here in the palace, helping with the population and other matters.

>9/10.
Your men put their lasguns on ‘’stun’’ and fan out over the surrounding highways, driving the civilian vehicles into ditches at the threat of lasers – and indeed some of the more uppity ‘tourists’’ of Vexis required a good zap before complying. Fear and panic is great amongst the civilian masses, and the sight of your soldiers calms them into meek obedience.
Corridors are created, and military trucks roll through with breakneck space, ramming a few cars and motorcycles here and there out of the way.
>8000 troops expected to arrive by the end of the day, bringing total strenght to 10.000 soldiers and 1000 police auxiliaries.
A single grain of sand compared to the vast desert of Imperial might throughout the galaxy, but then again you don’t know how many Druhkari will show up with malicious intent.
>2000 more PDFsmen are further out, expected to arrive tomorrow, if they do. Traffic in the provincial roads is out of your control.

Civilians of Vexis Prime, now steadily growing to a over a million, are ordered to close the windows, lock the doors, and stay inside for their own safety. There is a distinct lack of emergency bunkers in the city; as it was mostly focused – for the last few centuries – on whoring, clubbing, dacning, dining and the like – and military matters were deemed far away from the troubles of this pleasure world. Spa’s, shopping malls and botanical gardens dot the city, and the buildings were designed for aesthetical appeal over the ability to withstand artillery shells.

With cocky inflated noblemen knocking on your door you think its best to at least see them – for a short moment.
Flamboyant fur-cloaked silken-booted feather-capped tobacco-chewin’ cigar-smokin’’ men kneel before your throne. It is noted that, though fat and aged, they have powerswords and bolt-pistols.
‘’To the grand gouverneur of Vexis II, my thanks for allowing us an adience with your grace. May your life be scented as roses and your every wish satisfied.’’
- You order the nobleman to cut it short. -
‘’My grace, we have several ...quick.. remarks to you. We .. well.. simply dé-mandér a stay in ‘’your’’ palace – with the addition of our staff of courtiers, womenfolk and entertainers ofcourse, as well as our riches and prized possesions. We wont have eldari pirates touch a single ruby in our coffers. Our Auxiliaries will thus be aiding you to the defence of the palace, an excellent deal is it not, sire?’’
‘’Furthermore, we demand the immediate release of the -temporarily- uncumbered Fredrick deSolvay the 3rd of his name. A men with such prized pedigree should not be thrown in a cell like some common ruffian! There are procedures and formalities – truly, without some sense of aristocratic tradition the entire galaxy would collapse into chaos!’’
‘’If you agree to these terms, our vessels are yours to command. Its best to stick together, and well.. forget about the commoners, they are already dead. Lets just ‘’bunker down’’ as the mud-soldiers say and see this storm through.’’

Pick one or more:
>Let the nobles and their entourages set up inside the Palace
>Fredrick deSolvay will not be released. He is under house-arrest, and will promptly be interrogated
>free Fredrick deSolvay III, keep him close – and ask him nicely where the good stuff is
>free Fredrick deSolvay III, you will set him up at the famous grand Noir Hotel on the other side of the city, the most luxurious and famed Lodging of Vexis Prime. You will be sure to blast through every radio and communication equipment that the planetary governor is at the Noir Hotel, with accurate coordinates attached so ‘’he can be safe’’
>set up Fredrick deSolvay III in the hotel as stated above, and load the structure up with promethean fuel barrels. – have a direct switch to blast set up at the throne room.
>send a mixture of PDF’s and nobility to man the nobility’s luxury spacecraft and attempt an emergency pick-up of the stranded remaning PDF forces.

The nobles are allowed inside the Palace. They are a lot of 50 of the most premier guests on the planet, bringing with them 500 carapaced guards, armed with a myriad of weapons such as hot-shot lasguns, toxin-needlers and bolters. in their wake come chests upon chests of prized goods, and a thousand or so seemingly useless servants.
The nobles are quick to command the remaining palace-guard, as they arm and incorporate them into their personal guard.

>overlook the acquisition of the palace guard
>palace guard falls under PDF, this will not be tolerated

You decline to release the planetary governor, opting to drag him into the palace cellars and give him a few smacks - for theatrical purposes. He will tell you whatever you need to know, even if you have to ram a pistol into his mouth!

>10 airlift (near perfect operation)

>Will the nobles at least keep their whoring to an absolute minimum?

Absolutely not. This is, and remains a pleasure world. High-end prostitutes now stalk the halls of the palace, coalescing with tired & nervous soldiery and sitting on ammunition crates doing cocaine, heroin and swallowing mentat pills with centuries-old Champagne.

The nobles smiled when you asked for their ships to transport the remaining bogged down PDF"s.
"More guns, ici? C"est magnifique. More soldiers is safer for us. We applaud your good initiative, mr. dictateur-gouverneur. We do are disapointed you have not let go good deSolvay III yet, but you will hear from us later about that issue. First wé will aide you with œur Transports. Dont scratch them ha-ha, very expensive."

The noblemen sent their best pilots to assist your men in finding the remaiining PDFs. A small group of Mercantile vessels were assigned for the job - their vast hulls empty (cargos now possibly stored behind the shielded palace walls).
Your men ascend and power through the skies towards PDF distress beacons. Groups of Imperial trucks are spotted amidst a sea of cars and luxury wagons.
The ships are landed in nearby fields and the soldiers abandon their vehicles and march straight into the great dark maws of the transport ships - singing songs and smoking self-rolled cigarettes.
Masses of desperate civilians storm and surround the transports, but a few warning shots are able to keep enough space for your loaded ships to ascend.
As your forces speed back to the capital they are greeted with miles and miles of roads clogged with stranded civilians that are helpless as they watch Dusk and shadowy gloom descend upon them.
The 2000 PDF"s are unloaded at the Starport south of the city and march to the Palace, cheered on from the windows by excatic civilians.

>>4564134

Whilst operation "Mother-Eagle" was in full effect you stamped down the staircases to the imperial cellar - followed by a possé of semi-criminal PDF guards.
Tied-down in a mouldy dark chamber, the former governor of the planet had quickly lost his arrogant attitude, and after a few guiding smacks started saying whatever you want to hear.
Your officers want him to speak about his treasure chambers, but you order them to ask those questions later. Dead men have no use for riches. You goad the old man to speak about war matters. Security. Weapons. Eldari are coming, and you are already itching to strangle one with your bare hands.
The incoherent frightened babble came down to a few main points
>Palace is protected by void-shields and plas-steel walls. Built to withstand planetary bombardement
>There is a tunnel network running from the palace to other sites in the city, including hotel-noir, brothel moulin rouge in distrikt red, and the grand library in the east-side.
>There is weaponry housed in the winecellars. Big explosion guns is what the man says.

Killing a PG will get us on some inquisitors shit list down the line. Although, if majority votes to use him as bait with explosives....

Can we utilize the tunnels to eval people from other cities to the capital, while also setting up home points there for WHEN the dark eldar eventually finds them?

>>4564148

By the Emperor, that might be the case.

I'm liking this quest so far.

dude hotel noir leads back to the palace via tunnels, house him elsewhere.

Tell him we will consider freeing if we survive the raid.

>Other (write in)
Use him as bait. Put him on the fast ship with a bunch of annoying and useless nobles that are causing more harm than good and watch them chase it down.

Make sure t oput on a big show of it, you know APCs and most of the defence force going to the port and offloading them and some good treasure, mostly stuff that has no combat value or economical value for afterwards in helping the planet recover.

>>4564155
Is it too late to gather move civilians? The more we have in the capital, the more meat shields/corpse starch rations we'll have.

>>4564162
That's why we'll trap the tunnels, the deldar are bound to find them soon.

>>4564175
We could also use them. Perhaps we could do mock last stands in a couple of builds to lure the dark eldar in, retreat into the tunnel, blow up the builds, and repeat for only a couple of times before they grow wise to our antics.

Maybe we should also consider giving brave enough civilians some dead man trigger explosives, or tell some brave kamikaze asshate to carry a remote detonated explosive. Better to die in glory than to the Drukari.

>>4564147
>Free the governor, house him in Hotel Noir
"because the palace is a big target, It is safer to be there instead"
>>4564149
inb4 those rolls are for deldar numbers

>>4564188
The other option is if we can have some astropaths working to get some FTL comms. Guard and Navy reinforcements might be a long way away but the nobles here ought to have enough pull and favours to get a couple of Rogue Traders to pull a mercenary reinforcement intervention.

But it would need to be a mid to high level Rogue Trader house to get involved in such a thing, as they would need at least a couple of cruisers and an escort squadron at a minimum to be able to reinforce us, and without us having laser batteries or missile silos to support an inferior orbital presence, i dont know how much help they will be depending on the dark eldars fleet. speaking of the dark eldar fleet presence, if our current space assets are mostly merchant ships, they are going to get blasted or boarded. if they have not fucked off by now.

Proper void ships that can do interstellar flight do not enter atmosphere, at least not if they ever want to leave it under their own power.

>>4564196

Fredrick deSolvay III slimes and bowes and smiles. He leads you down crumbling cramped stairs down into the depths of his House. Plassteel and cemex make way for ancient stone and mossy mortar, and finally hard rock itself. You wonder if the endless slippery staircase will ever end when you reach a great, rusted iron bars. The governor raises a key with a snicker and opens the door for you. Inside your flashlights have to reveal the contents of the chamber.
It smells of mould and old damp air. The walls are lined with faded, tatterered banners. Rusted armours and swords are lined up in racks. You wonder if this was once a feudal world; before the pleasure business...
Swords, primitive half-wooden gunpowder weaponry, flags, iron helmets. Horse-saddles, axes, clubs, mixed in with the occasional lasmusket and boltgun.
The remains of an old techno-barbarian force?
Tapestries depicting an ancient battle between steel human knights and some acrid looking bug xenos horde cover several large objects.

>One (10) reveals a large cannon, with the internal mechanism encased into a holding of primitive steel, timber and rusted bolts, with the other part revealing what seems like extremely advanced plasma-cooling coils. You have seen plasma weaponry before, but this unit is massive. Brass decorations cover the outside, and the muzzle is formed into a roaring wolf's head. MORGAN"S BANE is inscribed onto the outer steel fitting. MIf you would be able to get this thing working it might be enough to pulverise entire city-blocks.

The second tarp is pulled and it shows a great rusted metal knight machine, with a corroded gunmuzzle for one arm and a large swordarm for another. Ornate shields and decaying banners hang from its body, and a thick layer of dust covers its dead empty eyes. It is thrice as tall as a human being, and you wonder what it could do if it were to stir to life.
The letters AZAZEL are read on its helmet.

The third tarp gives way for a rack of particularly well-conditioned armours, which seem a curious mix between knightly chainmail and forgeworld-grade carapace armour. There are twenty complete suits; enough to be worn by you and your closest officers and bodyguards.

christ lads i wanted to throw you some heavy bolters or something. Keep your rolls under control

>>4564382
FUCKS SAKE. Fredrick deSolvay III you beautiful bastard. I feel bad now that we're gonna use him as bait. Maybe we shouldn't after all?

>>4564382

Mechs are always cool, but I see no use of us piloting it ourselves. In the field it'd probably be unit targeted the most. We also have to be on the ground to command our troops and being constantly distracted in the Mech wouldn't be conducive. Its best to get someone who has experience or knowledge to pilot it; maybe from the pool of tourists in the city currently. Unlanded noble perhaps?

you decide to "free" the Planetary Governor for his good behavior. Your orders to house the esteemed and highly important deSolvay III at the famous Hotel Noir are broadcasted planetside- you made sure of it.
Just in case you have a good amount of promethean barrels brought into the rooms below the governors private wing. For his own safety and well-being ofcourse.
The nobles, for what its worth, seem content with your decision, and the occasional distrustful glare is reduced to an irritated glance.

Night is falling over Vexis Prime. You have ordered the lights to dim, but all around the city you see the red lights of still arriving traffick. You have activated the distress signal, as did several prominent bureaucrats on their own accord, but only the Emperor knows when Imperial fleets come to our aid.
The night is tense, and... Surprisingly warm and humid for this time of the year.
Sudden lightning ripples through the dark sky.
Your vox channels then fall silent, and strange heavy breathing is emitted through the speaker systems. Finally a voice starts:
"My gratitude sir Rick Princecock, Commander of the human warriors of this hopeless world. - for gathering the cattle so well. Youve saved us the trouble of collecting your pig-people subjects ourselves. And how you things squeal when we come to get them. Perhaps I will even reward you with long, long "life" for your good work.-"

The problem is Morgan's bane can't shoot to space, I think. Also eldar ships are agile AF in general. But I like the sound of "might be enough to pulverise entire city-blocks". Eldars are fast, but if the pulverisation radius is big enough, it's gets really hard to miss

A little bit too late my mans

>>4564490

I don't think we should put all of our eggs in one basket by stacking the plasma on the GK. Again I think it's best we wait to spot some important asset of their and then just fucking obliterate it. Considering they are a small kabal high enough losses may make them back off? Or at the very least hurt them a lot. If they know where the plasma cannon is they can easily out maneuver it and wreck our shit. Glad we gave our guys those combat drills, should make the knight more effective if we can get it to work.

>>4564506
If we do stack it then we'd at least have a mobile artillery platform.

>>4564512

That's one target they can yeet and destroy our only heavy hitters. We don't have enough cool shit to afford fucking with it too much, if it works that should be the extent of which we tinker with it. There WILL be a roll to stick them together and I don't like our odds.
