Fri Morning...very free

Yes I have survived another one of Prof Tsui's lecture. once again he did not teach much today...therefore no readings => very free to write fluff!!!

i bought more sisters yesterday and read about Medusa V on US WD. Inquisitor Vondire naturally knows abt the peril the Imperium faces and the below is one of his usual memoirs to the High Lords of Terra.

To the High Lords of Terra,

In my recent brushes against the forces of Chaos, I have received some data which are rather interesting in my opinion. My men had intercepted some tau messages, apparently they have been looking at our technology and deduced that we r a stagnant society and will gradually be defeated by them. With this new confidence, the Tau had now embarked on their third expansion phase. although strictly speaking i belong to Ordos Hereticus, this matter concerns me also as it involves the welfare of the imperium. Not to mention the countless citizens who will turning traitor under Tau propaganda(and thus becoming my problem). Although some inquisitors felt that this is a good chance to put our citizens to the test, i felt that that will lead to an excessive waste of resources.

I have a good counterplan, which was basically adoptiing a tactic used by the Ordos Xenos. Renegade Tyranids fleets were still found from time to time in the Titan system(where my Adepta Sororitas were based), i can send troops to capture some genestealers and unleash these dudes onto the tau primary sept worlds. as tyranids were a relentless foe, the tau will have a hard time while i will lead a crusade to retake worlds that were recently lost to the enemy. I have no problems if the Ordos Xenos would like to take over the tyranid kidnapping mission themselves, but the freeing of lost worlds from the tau must be strictly done by Ordos Hereticus as its our duty to purge the Witch, the Mutant and in this case the Heretic.

I have already created a roster of troops needed for the program. Most of it can be mustered by my own resources but some elements require the Imperial Guard approval(in blue) while others had to be requisitioned from the order of the Matyred Lady(in red) as the Southern Cross were still at 80% strength.

Adepta Sororitas needed for mission - 1000 (compiled by Canoness Katerine of the S.Cross)

Veterean Superiors - 30 (S.cross), 10(MAtyred LAdy)
Celestians - 60(S.cross), 20 (Matyred Lady)
Active Battle Sisters - 260
Battle Sisters Reserves - 70, 120
Dominions(+V.superiors) and rhinos - 90(+10) , 10 [Matyred Lady]
Seraphim plus respective V.superiors - 80 + 10 (S.cross)
Retributors, H.bolters and support sisters - 30 + 10, 50
Repentias and mistresses - 90 + 10
Rhinos - 10
Exorcist - 20(40 crew)
Immolators - 10

Inqusition Command Company (106 men)

20 Inqusition Storm Troopers
6 Acro-flaggelants
1 Penitent Engine
1 Leman Russ (3 men)
2 Infantry Platoons (50 men)
1 Armored Fist Platoon (10 men)
2 Sentinel Squad of 3 (6 men total)
1 Rough Rider Squad (10 men)
My retinue(undisclosed)


Frateris Militia 17,360

Imperial Guard(hopefully Valhallian Ice Warriors)
100 Leman Russ (300 men)
200 Infantry Platoons (5,000 men)
100 Armored Fist Platoons (1,000 men)
100 Rough Riders Squads (1,000 men)
20 Sentinel Squads (60 men)
Zealots - 10,000 (I will try to get more)

Total Strength - 18,466

As you can see its quite a small number, I hope that the Imperial Guard will send entire Guard Regiments in addition to those that I have requested. I hope that eventually our force will be ten times what i requested
