I don't think you're ruining the story and I'm definitely not trying to step on your creativity. This is 40k, the most grimdark and sometimes most grim derpy universe there is. I also love and appreciate the different ideas/thoughts and genres everyone brings to the story. I'm just letting everyone know what will happen with my characters IC when this plays out.

My Cadians are professional soldiers who spent years fighting a similar conflict and spent even longer rebuilding that planet back. While the Sarusians are starry eyed, democratic idealists, who are experiencing their trial-by-fire and who know what an Imperial occupation can look like. So, naturally either party aren't going to like what's happening.

what I'm trying to do is accurately show what a middle ages culture would do in a modern situation


and show just how bad it was back then and anyone who romanticizes it is wrong


burning witches, sacking cities, etc. these aren't professional modern soldiers, like your cadians are, this is an upjumped mob of superstitious and uneducated peasants

Their education will be forthcoming.

In a better headspace now that election season is over, and I'll be having a bunch of vacation time coming this month...so fingers crossed that that'll translate into content.

i figure. I'm not trying to like be 'lol edgy' but really there would be no logical reason for a mob of religious zealots to comport themself with the taciturn discipline of imperial guardsmen. Jurgen will do his best to keep his guys in line, and, being a Mordian, will likely do pretty good, but he can't be everywhere.

Just don’t allow our mutual bad influences distract you too much. Next thing we know you’ll have an entire planets population to write for and I’ll bring back every character I ever thought of. Haha.

I doubt that anyone was reasonably expecting well-disciplined feudal peasant levies, Cf.

I do hope you’re prepared for the likely outcome that the professional soldiers your militia are serving alongside won’t care what Jurgen did to prevent a little bit of plundering when Odervank, Gwen and the rest of the notionally supervisory priesthood have given their blessing for the broader murder and mayhem spree by publicly, ritualistically torturing and executing their flock’s mostly minor (if not outright innocent, like folks defending their families, homes and businesses from the mob) recidivist victims – and that your militia may find itself as pariahs off, and as likely than not on, the battlefield.

I do hope you’re also prepared for the certainty that doing this on Baraspine, when my regiment has a number of Baraspini (the majority of which have 20+ years of military experience from the PDF – or the Imperial insurgency against the occupation) will come with heinous consequences at your festival.

I just want you to be absolutely certain of what you want before everything's locked in.

[Cfavano]

as much as it might suck for me, as a writer my professionalism prevents me from being self serving, though of course I don't *want* my guys to be pariahs, its my fate so ill swallow the pill

I do have to make an edit for Paint in Void. Not sure what I can throw in for Ground until we have the out of combat scene. Looks like all the fighting is inside now hand you all put a great ending to the LR-V.
