For this is an Interlude. Bwhahaha!

Here comes a certain not-chapter, then, of around 41,000 words.

I hope every reader will enjoy it.

This time, I wouldn't call the last scene a cliffhanger...more like an omnious warning that things can really, really go badly in a certain galaxy.

Anyway, as you might have already realised, the writing of 12-3 is over, and the unbetaed chapter you have in front of you has been sent to the betas.

I gave them a deadline of mid-August (which was sent by a smiling Commissar) so the corrected chapter should arrive around that date.

Otherwise, well the Inquisition has excellent methods of persuasion...

As confirmed in a previous post, I am now beginning the writing of The odds were never in my favour for this month.

Of all people, of course it's Leet and the Unexpected Primarch Zero. Great work as always subverting expectations.

thx for the words a always will be fun to see the king of yellow trying to make a return as the sunday cartoon villain at some point ^^

The Deceiver really spoke truth when it told the King in Yellow that Weaver was not his Bane, eh? Though I surprised at who was. And all Hail, Hail to the new sovereign of the Calyx Hell Stars.

In hindsight the eleventh's name should not come as a surprise. The hints were all there after all. Poor Malicia got screwed though. Another "home" lost. Good to know the opposition in real space still isn't aware that there are 2 living Saints yet. They haven't learned it yet. And the title of nephilim queen probably means there are more on the way. Malicia is change's candidate but is there even a choice for decay ? Nurgle's forces got pawed so easy this time. Dorn was a freaking Boss level here. Didn't even bother to fight, just Sat on a throne and watched the clowns play along. I don't think the Chaos forces even realized Cegorach was there. And then Dorn just left after dropping a single word. Like a boss indeed.

The winners ultimately are Khorne (claiming Calixis) and the Imperium (getting a useful new person via Weaver, secured the return of two more Primarchs, and ensuring everyone else had immense losses). Also, Angron is no more. Another Daemon Primarch. Their era is passing.

Another eldar for the weaver harem, praise be to Big E

Well, that was something... I kinda expected Malicia to be the winner, mostly because she was the underdog and Khorn seemed to win too much lately. But it was once again Khorn's win, and even the loss of the Blood Muse isn't too big in the end. I also expected Muse to end up disfigured somehow - after all she was bathing in blood to keep her beauty, so I thought it would be her Sacrifice. But well, there is a new color of Eldar in the Galaxy - Golden ones. Wonder how her ex-followers would react. One question: did Dorn and Jagathai follow Taylor in the end? It seems logical, but as it wasn't said, I'm a little worried. In conclusion, you slowly but surely turn 40k into Fantasy Battles.

Actually somethings I am somewhat curious about. Both related to Nagash. Since his Bane is Khorne's new favorite can you confirm he is not going to be destined to be one of Weaver's Endbringers ? Just to confirm really. And on the same line of though what do the Necrons think about the one dude in the galaxy who is trying to "rocksteal" their style ?

You know, the first time I read that Lotara's weapon was a spear, my first thought was "huh, just like Valkia" and Lo and behold, here she is, the Gore Queen in all her splendor. Amazing. Although the hair is a little weird, I'm used to her bald version in my TWW3 games.

So how come Nagesh dropped Antwyr instead of taking it with him when he ran away with his bone roads? RIP Angron, you have been replaced by a Red Angel far more intelligent and effective than you ever were. Only 12 Primarchs left "alive" in the great game. I see that you have changed your mind and made the Angel of Destruction canon for WO. Summoning rituals for the Imperium! I'm slightly disappointed we didn't get to see a final POV of the Chaos Gods. Though I am sure that Khorne is laughing mightily about his victory and Nurgle very upset at the failure of his plans. Slightly surprised that Abaddon couldn't join the party after talking about slaying the KiY, but I guess that if Nagesh did the Ritual latter he would have the time to get to the Hell Stars. I wonder if Brukk Brukk managed to steal more than one Space Hulk. His story is just beginning and will be ready for when the "greatest war of the M35" starts.

Red Bard

It's very fitting that Leet's Rival is a Skaven, they have that same energy of being Chaotic screw ups. I'm also curious on what the Sigmurgh end game is, because you know it must have some kind of plan...

This is the most Imperial miminum we ever got. Nice to see the Imperium being the sneaky beaky here instead of Chaos. Nice change up. Nagash AND Valkia? ARe we gonna add Archaon the Everchosen as the best Warmaster of Chaos?

Nicholas

Thank you. I have three comments I want to share. First, the more focused chapter is a significant improvement in story structure. I hope you will continue to write smaller but more focused chapters for WO. And yes for this story 40k words is smaller. Second, I seriously underestimated just how much the Cegorach allying with them is going to help the Imperium. That he can now be trusted to keep the bargains he makes gives the Imperium and the Emperor a lot more options. We saw that here where it was Cogorach who got Dorn and Kahn into the King in Yellow's throne room. Third, I don't know enough 40k lore to recognize a lot of your references at the end. But that X-Brukk got away with what amounts to an Orkish Gloriana with a working warp gate seems very bad. I wonder where he is going to go to get enough red paint for it?

Forgottenone

O, This chapter really had a big ending with the Gore Queen coming into play. I would not be shocked if 8 seconds after the end of this battle the new red monster walks onto Medrengard through one of the functional warp gates. Yes, the blood god will respect the rules only one of the emperor's sons for each of us. Did you notice I got rid of mine so I need a new one, after all, Iron is found in the blood. (Not totally going after all his war factories and starports.) Still, I think it is the IoM heroes that gained the most while paying the lowest butcher bill. Let's start off with Dorn, he claimed a would-be god's throne and waited till it was the center of the warp's attention before climbing down and delivering the decisive blow to the "Yellow King of eternity." I wonder if this will free Dorn of his inability to use the warp. For all the others the simple fact they were there and lived without becoming a chaos slave is huge. Psamtic is proof that Simurgh was never a true ally of the king of Yellow. The graveyard looks like Sumurgh's true goal all along. That and inflict as much suffering as possible.

I could be reading too much into it... but was that conversation between Khan and Nagash about ambassadors a historical reference? Where a Sultan beheaded Genghis ambassador violating diplomatic tradition? Also has someone who enjoyed Fantasy I love the return of Valkia, and with Tzeentch backing Victoira I am wondering if we will see the other gods swap their Primarchs for Saints / Champions? I pretty sure they got a couple of souls of Fallen Eldar muses to use.

So chaos has teleporting titans now. That’s going to cause a lot of gray hairs I’m the imperium. Can you put a little POV from Nagash too? He just lost a shit ton of resources in 13 days. It must have taken a long time to gather all that. He also successfully hid everything from all the players on the board. Does this mean there are now at least 3 contenders for the 5th throne?
