Thread: The Heresiarch's Seminary

This is a diary, you know what a Diary is, right? Hopefully you do.

I'll list any interesting stuff that may occur in whatever day of whatever week in whatever month.

As for today:

I've finally finished my Starship Troopers Terran Ascendancy processing and almost done uploading (at time of writing, 10:48 AM GMT) and am looking forward to clearing 232gb of footage off of my HDD.

Later on I've gotta go do some Campaign thing involving Warhammer 40K and my Deathwing (Guys who are described as "Walking tanks" because of their sheer resiliance to damage and their ability to deal it)

What I'm listening to right now: Amon Amarth: Slaves of Fear 8-Bit

I may have a recount of the campaign fight later should any interest in that specific area arise.

Good day.

This topic needed some love. Looking forward to seeing how the campaign fight turns out.

CamPaIgNinG AS usual I see? Well, I don't know what this Starship Troopers is, but I love the first film and the anime, although the game is on the crappy side. And don't get me started on the film sequels. Good luck with it, sir.

Warhammer 40K Bat.Rep:

550 Pts of Dark Angels Deathwing V 700 Points of Space Marines.

The mission was something involving capturing three objectives or holding more than the other person.

I got to deploy two, he deployed on. I stuck it next to a large building that blocked him from seeing it from 1/2 of his guys, the other had the same thing.

He naturally stuck his in with his guys.

Now, the thing about Deathwing is we're normally walking tanks. We wade through most enemy fire like it doesn't mean a thing. The Space Marine had brought anti-tank weaponry and Plasma cannons. Capable of killing 2 or more of my guys at once.

I have 11.

Turn 1: He gets first turn and my other Deathwing squad (5 guys) is going to teleport in when it's my turn. He tries to snipe my other Deathwing Squad and Belial (Commander of Deathwing). He screws all of his shooting up and it doesn't affect me. My guys appear and do nothing to him appart from wound his commander.

Turn 2: He batters the hell out of the newly arrived guys and reduces them to one man (They fear nothing, thus the survivor doesn't care) and does nothing to my other group.

I then respond by taking out two of his heavy weapons and a normal guy with a Missile Launcher that fires twice (Cyclone Missile Launcher).

Turn 3: He again tries to kill my lone guy but fails miserably on his Plasma Cannons. They all malfunction and kill two of his own people. He fails to hurt my guy as he then bombards the plasma cannons remaining alive and kills one.

Turn 4: Finally my lone Deathwing drops dead. We both still have one objective and if I tie the game then he doesn't gain any ground or bonuses.

Turn 5: He moves to take the objective I'm sat on and haven't moved off of the entire game. I promptly respond by using a chaingun and shredding three redshirts. The two remaining run away.

Final Turn: His Redshirts try and retake the objective but find themselves fist fighting my Commander who guts them alive. His heavy weapon guy finally snipes off a Deathwing terminator meaning I have 4 left. An Anti-tank rocket kills the next one. A gun that fires a beam that's as hot as the sun kills the next. I have two guys remaining.

But I still have the objective, the game ends a tie.

Leaving the Warhammer 40k Bat. Rep. I find myself trying to upload the last two parts of my SSTTA Let's Play. Once that's done I believe a reward is in order for myself.

If you could be anything in Starship Troopers (Could be a machine or ship. Doesn't have to be alive) what would you be and why?[hr]

What I'm listening to right now: Quest of the Manwhore

Which game? The First Person Shooter or the Strategy game?

A tie's pretty impressive, considering the guy had 150 points on you. I just wish I could've seen his reaction when the plasma cannons blew up.

If I could be anything from Starship Troopers? Probably a military scientist. Blowing up bugs in relative safety for demonstration purposes, and developing new weapons that let me blow them up better? Oh yes.

So I guess I'll do this in a Morning and Afternoon section kinda thing.

Well, I woke up to find the housemate's Praying Mantis (Stereotypical green one, no I don't know it's correct / latin name) ontop of my keyboard. Removing that without getting myself injured was fun.


(I'm currently working on a special thing to end the Starship Troopers Terran Ascendancy let's play, an idea that Dr. Killjoy gave me (Thanks) and I'm hoping it turns out ok.) This is incorrect. It's been finished.

Also, the best toasted sandwich in my opinion is where you get three slices of toast. On one side of two slices you put chocolate. Then on the last slice you put peanut butter on both sides and squish it together.

What I'm listening to right now: The neighbours swearing like mad at the chavs on the road / Good day to die

Probably a soldier in the power armour that was in the actual original book and the anime.

FPS. It was a little crummy. Whilst I did hear about the RTS, I never played it. Also, that video you linked to is hilarious.

Shamless plug: It's a good day to die SSTTA

Yea, it was really disappointing the Marauder suits didn't appear until SST3 film wise. There's four depictions of Marauder suits though. (forgot that the Rougneck Chronicles had one and that technically the FPS has Marauder suits. That aren't really like normal Marauder suits.)

Pretty cool montage there. Though the music isn't half-bad, I'd rather gouge my eyes out than watch the third film, since the second was so atrocious I ended up refusing to finish it. And ah, so it's the RTS you've been referring to. It looks all right.

Music came from SST3. The four depictions of the Marauder suits are the Novel, OVA for one of them, and the SSTTA game for the other. The Roughneck Chronicles shows a different Depiction of Marauder suits and the FPS just has a normal suit that's been decked out.
