    ...A cold day in Hell.

    Day One.
    We've just arrived on this blasted wasteland. Three whole companies of us, and quickly the command staff set up base camp.

    Two of the fucking companies they sent us are conscripts, how do they expect us to fight alongside those whelps? Some of them look as young as fourteen.

    The Commissariat are busy enforcing discipline amongst us, it seems that they are more the enemy then those filthy greenskins over the mountainside. I haven't even seen one yet. Sergeant Viacheslav said he did on recon, quite frankly with the amount of alcohol he drinks, he probably thinks he's seen the damn Saint Macharius.

    To be fair, the artillery does give the impression that there is a war, as it keeps me awake every fucking night.

    Us Valhallans, we’re a hardy stock. We were raised on a planet of eternal cold, so yeah, we’re pretty tough. Anyway, recently an Ork force has attacked a sector, and we were assigned to defend it.

    Basic orders; set up base, and arty positions. Of course, by the time we’d set up emplacements, the other teams would have already done theirs and begun firing. There was none of this ‘organisation’ that other regiments have, we literally deployed, and fired. Non stop. We didn’t even know what we were firing at, we were just given coordinates by high command, and told to fire. It was an administrative nightmare. Originally, the Administurum would keep tally of how many shells we’d fire, and how much munitions we had used. Bullshit.

    About two days into the conflict and the big guns are firing. Base command has set up a permanent base in the northern mountains, where they’ve deployed several massive arty emplaces. These weapons are massive, mounted on rails. The noise they make is...massive. And deafening.

    -

    Just in case you guys don't know how I advertise my solo (well not that solo) projects, this is a mod. Thanks!

    I thought I'd add a creative spin to this project, although I agree my first post didn't give enough away, and I fear not enough of you have guessed it already.
    This mod aims to add a new regiment of the Imperial Guard to the fray; the Valhallans.

    It seems like Vostroyans. All that Soviet-like conscription and, the name Viacheslav, the reference to alcohol, the... "enforcing of discipline" by the Commissariat, yep, it sounds like Vostroyans to me.

    Although for the same very reasons, they could be Valhallans...

    hmmmm....

    they dont use the word fuck in the 41st millenium :P its fugging :P

    sounds like the vallhallans to me, the vostroyans are already being done (and it would be mean of heretic to show the other team up with his superior skills). i want to see something new!

    dude, valhallans are the soviets. vostroyans are prussian, east europe circa napoleon kinda thing

    but what happened to the iron warriors?

  6. #6
    its the valhallans, they have a special hatred for the greenskins.
    For the Greater Good!!

  7. #7
    I thought they said Frak instead of fuck?

    But if it is the Valhallans then more power to ya! I've taken a liking to them ever since I stated reading the Ciaphas Cain novels

    Feth and Gak are the two main known curses.

    Frak is Battlestar Galactica.

    For a moment assume that I have no idea what you are talking about. What is your mod about and when would I get to see any of it?

    Riess; I tend to do this when I advertise mods, it's a way to build tension, and a somewhat different way to show a mod in progress.

    I'll PM you to let you know what it's about, and some screens and such - just so you know something is going on, if that's okay.

    This mod's been under secret development for quite some time, in fact it was a mod I started years ago, but put to the side to concentrate on Battlefleet Gothic. Now it's back, and I've got more skills to do it!

    Poland - quite a nice place, actually.
    ... is there some sort of conspiracy with all these IG mods announced or revived at the same time? But you can never have too much IG
    Very thankful to all who make mods for the Dawn of War series and the Homeworld games.

    He added the info about the Valhallans after the post was originally made; it wasn't in the first version.

    Ah yes, it must be.. these guys have the grooming habits of feral Orks coupled with the eating regime of their wildboarz; and to add to the insult they have no honour whatsoever... har har har!
    It's strange therefore that Jurgen comes not from the Aquitaine hiveworld.

    lol yeah Lleman is french so bad idea do that one. I think its a hobo who doesn't know how to bath.

    Anyways, what about discussing the mod instead of discussing Jurgen? C'mon, it has to be both disappointing and annoying seeing "yay, someone posted in topic about my mod" followed by "crap, it's not about my mod, it's about Jurgen!".

    That said, just to put something on-topic here too, this mod will be getting forums and website hopefully before the end of this year.

    Good point, sorry for losing the main train of thought. However originnally this began as a disscussion about how cool it would be to include Ciaphis Cain, who is a hero realated to the Valhallans.

    Not really, he is infact a commissar who is tangenitally related to a valhallan gunnery company, because of the novels he is featured in. Maybe this tells us something about Heretic's plans, however?

  38. #38
    It might, however after he served with the artillery compnay he served with a mixed valhallan regiment, for awhile, so he is a valhallan hero of sorts.

    The administorum wanted us to list all the units and such required, so those desk-heads could do all the math. For Emperor's sake, why not just let us fight? Bah, it's not like this is important information.

    Unit/Structure List

    Sounds good so far. I'm already in love with those emplacements merely for the fact that there one for us arty boys. Im gonna hope that the legendary commisar is in fact Cain, but that'll be the last of the hoping until its either confirmed or denied, so you'll be hearing nor more of it from me.

    Is the Leman Russ Executor meant to be the Executioner, or is it some new fangled russ' churned out by forgeworld that I've yet to hear of?

    I'm liking the units so far though, especially all the artillery.

    Hi Heretic,

    It's great to see the Valhallans moving ahead. A few more IG mods, and the Imperial Guard will have the strength to take over this place.....

    I wish you every success with the mod, and I am looking forward to playing it when the time comes for a release.

    regards

    sunray
