    Captain Tyborc: Ah. Would this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of our trenches and running towards the enemy line, sir?
    Krieg Commissar: How could you possibly know that, Captain Tyborc? Its classified information.
    Captain Tyborc: Its the same plan we used last time. And the seventeen times before that.
    General Durjan: Exactly! And that is what is so brilliant about it. It will catch the watchful heretic totally off guard. Doing precisely what we have done eighteen times before, is Exactly the last thing they will expect us to do this time.

    Yo, I heard you liked defences, so I put defences inside your defences...
    Then I put some more defences inside those defences...
    and added some more defences on top of those defences.
    Then when I was done adding more defences amongst all the new defences I went back and upgraded the older defences.
    Feeling inclined to add more defences to the now-modernized defences I added some more defences.
    That was all well and dandy but truly more defences could be improved the defences of all the older defences, bringing the defences back up to tolerable standards of defences.
    Later that very same day, my commander passed by and told me to improve those defences because clearly the defences were not nearly good enough! So I continued to add even more defences for my new and improved defences. The following day my commander came by and agreed that the new defences were solid but more defences could not be dismissed so he gave me a plan to add even more defences to my original defences, an outstanding plan and I got right to it and started adding even more defences.
    So I heard you liked defences, so I added some more defences.

      Low Energy Videos the cardinal was from the start advised and goaded on his crusade by deacon mamon. A full blown chaos worshipper right from the start, a nurglite demon prince by the end of it (and he escaped).
      Is it any wonder they went full chaos? By the time Vraks fell, the cardinal was no more than a figure-head.

    If through some kind of warp shenanigans a regiment of Death Korps guardsmen got to fight alongside some pre-heresy Deathguard, I bet they’d be the best of battle-buddies. Even an Astartes of the Deathguard should admire the Death Korps’ utter tenacity; them Krieg boys have the stiffest of stiff upper lips.

    The illustration in this case was a little confusing, at least initially. I think a little more time might have been spent panning pan up to the the second line. That, or a delay before entering the second illustration with the tank turrets. Even so, there was no confusion at all regarding the illustations that followed that. I got the idea once the heavy artillery guns where being descussed.
