Have you mad uneasy alliances with any of the Xenos races? I think the Blood Ravens and the Necrons briefly buddied up to tackle the Tyranids

“I wouldn’t say alliances, but some Dark Eldar grew somewhat fond of me once, and I once was close friends with a ranger.”

Caleb immediately purses his lips and raises his eyebrows, shooting Kera an oh frak what in the Warp look. 

“Which ones specifically, darling?”

“They’re trying.” Kera comments. “They say it’s a good practical skill. I think the only ones of her classmates who get it are the ones who have parents with a knowledge of electrics.”

“That seems fair, especially for the region. Have you checked the libraries for any guides, Anais?”

“They’re trying.” Kera comments. “They say it’s a good practical skill. I think the only ones of her classmates who get it are the ones who have parents with a knowledge of electrics.”

“What have you been using, and doing? Have you wired everything correctly? Working with capacitors to make a jury-rigged battery is pretty advanced, I’m surprised they’re teaching that.”

Anais grins up at him. “Alright. You should help me with my homework, then.”

“Always good to see the bureaucrats and nobles getting a little bit of humility slipped their way anyways. Thank you for your cooperation- deliveries should begin within the next month. Be on the lookout for abnormal meteoroid landings.” The woman extended her hand to shake. “Papers for formalization will, for obvious reasons, not be necessary. Thank you.”

A moderately-sized dropship angled down to the surface of the world, bearing heraldry of a writhing snake impaled on a thorned branch. Once it had landed, several armsmen exited, carrying both a dataslate and a small holo-projector rig betwixt the three of them. They waited a short ways outside the dropship, the loading hatch still down.

Lord Francis Pendleton watched the drop ship land.  He sheathed his knife and walked out to meet the soldiers who had arrived.

“Very well, what is it? And what are you having trouble with?”

She cuddles cheerfully into his side. “It was good today. We went outside and did exercises. I like that better than sitting inside listening to them talk.”

[ask-the-bloody-ex-guardsman-blog]

But what if it was true? What would you do then?

“I don’t know. The first step would probably be to shoot the messenger.” Caleb grins maliciously. “Or, rather, feed the messenger to a very important collection.”

[ask-the-bloody-ex-guardsman-blog]

“Just you remember, ‘listening to them talk’ is really important to. Sometimes the history is unreliable, but the arithmetic and sciences will serve you all your life. Especially since you stand to inherit the Warrant, little one.”

She cuddles cheerfully into his side. “It was good today. We went outside and did exercises. I like that better than sitting inside listening to them talk.”

She still keeps photos of him. Looks at them when you're not there.

“You have no way of knowing that.”

Rumour has it your wife is still in love with her ex-husband.

Caleb gritted his teeth. “Rumour has it you could disappear into one of the lower holds of this ship, and never be heard from again.”

They came out of the trees man! THE TREEEES! Literate Orks were throwing bomb packed books at us!

“That.. seems very Orkish.”

[ask-the-bloody-ex-guardsman-blog]

Rumor has it, some Orks can read.

“I’m not really too surprised.”

[ask-the-bloody-ex-guardsman-blog]

Rumour has it there was a survivor of the Luna Wolves, someone who remained loyal.

“Luna Wolves? What Chapter is that?”

[ask-the-bloody-ex-guardsman-blog]

Rumor has i--bLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.

“Are you going to go prattling on about skulls, too? You don’t want to know what I did to the last man that did that.”

[ask-the-bloody-ex-guardsman-blog]

Rumor has it that the Ultramarines are still trying to regain their ultra-ego after getting their blue painted asses handed to them by the space bugs

“I would.. not voice such things so publicly, although I do agree that they will most likely temper their bravado in future engagements.”

[ask-the-bloody-ex-guardsman-blog]

Rumor has it your Emperor fucked an Eldar.

“Far be it from me to judge what our immortal lord has done.”
