Getting Warhammered - [ 151 ]
“Nope,” I said with feeling, appearing before the other Psyker girl and flicking her forehead. Bio-energy surged into her body, tearing apart whatever sludge had been pumped into her bloodstream before my psychic grasp slipped in between the girl’s mind and the weird metallic hood thingy she had around her head.That’s some nasty archeotech … a Psychic Hood. Aren’t those supposed to help the Psyker and protect them from mental attacks?...

Things were looking … fine-ish, even with me and Selene restricting ourselves to merely mini-Astartes levels of power and a thin bio-armour in her case and a Necrodermis equivalent for me.The defenders were tough and didn’t even flinch at the towering Orks charging at them with gleeful abandon. They didn’t even twitch when some of the Greenskin pulled out Tau-sourced railguns and plasma rifles that created head-sized sizzling holes in whate...

“Interesting,” I murmured, my aura reaching out over the final stretch of space to spread over the ongoing battlefield. “Our blue friends seem to be winning, but … there might be something interesting here after all.”I grinned at Selene raising an eyebrow and with a flick of my hand sent up an illusory hologram of the peculiar Imperial voidship I’d felt.“Look at this,” I said, an edge of excitement seeping into my voice. The image...

“What benefits?” Coldstone asked with what I wagered was cautious optimism. He wanted to be convinced, but wanted to take back enough benefits with him to convince every one of his fellow Ethereals too.“I have both long-term and short-term ones, let’s start with the latter,” I said, running my hand over the roots making up my chair as I thought of an answer rapidly. The question wasn’t whether I could give him something to convince hi...

NOTE: Sorry about the delay, I totally forgot to schedule this chapter. ***************My final choice fell to a nice hill in the middle of a set of grassy plains. My strategic sub-brain whined a bit, but I easily overrode its largely useless reasons for natural defences with the fact that I could make natural defences of my own later if I so wished.Also, fortifications made by me would be much harder to destroy and go through for an enemy force ...

‘Mistress, the Tau are asking to come aboard and for us to provide them with your expedition’s camp down on the planet.’ I heard Valenith’s rather irritated voice buzz through the telepathic link the moment it connected to my mind. ‘What do you want me to do with them?’‘Please notify the good Captain … whatever his name is, that he is neither my superior nor does he have any authority over me.’ I sent back, my face twitching sli...

I was playing with my newly mined minerals, trying to make use of my newly gained Mechanicus knowledge. The ways to make plasteel, ferrocrete and even ceramite were in there in my head, I just had to make use of them.Which was a bit challenging, seeing as I wanted to cut out all the unnecessary parts of the process. Like saying prayers, chanting in binary and spraying holy oil on stuff every other minute.I lacked the heavy machinery and tools the...

“This is it!” I said to the small crew up on the command deck. “Finally we are here!”We stood on the command deck, a large screen spreading from wall to wall before us showing the scenery as if we stood on the nose of the ship. Out there, in the vast darkness of space stood a small green orb, glistening like an emerald under the rays of a nearby yellow star.Vallia.Alas, even though it was this close, it wasn’t to be our first destinatio...

While my decoy was doing its damndest to distract the Custodian while also making him show off the limits of his zappy toy, the dragon sort of drew me into its fight with Ka’Bandha who seemed to have all but forgotten about me.The Greater Daemon was laughing and roaring in equal measure, its mouth filled with serrated teeth locked in a preternatural grin of savage joy.The dragon wasn’t looking too good, and the eventual victor of their fight ...

I moved, appearing up next to the Custodian faster than a heartbeat, faster than he could pull the trigger. Not faster than he could react, though. He pulled his spear back, or attempted to anyway as I grabbed its handle and yanked.Surprisingly, the Custodian came along with the spear when I swung it around and sent it flying right into the closing maw of the dragon on the other side of my body. Jagged teeth as large as my forearms clamped down o...

I just want to mention that the Posting Schedule will match the one on Royal Road. Meaning [Monday - Wednesday - Friday] 18:00 CET while I have enough backlog, and then I'll slow down to have at least five chapters up in my back pocket, preferably ten. I will be making a post about this when the schedule will change, so if any of you want to unsub because of the less frequent posting, you can do so at that point.Also, that'll be a while a...

I stared at the beautiful creature, watched as it landed on a nearby island and roared. Compared to Ka’Bandha’s roar, this one was … cute.Not that I care. A lizard-like build, four muscular clawed limbs covered in jagged obsidian scales, a large head ending in a snarling snout and a mouth filled with serrated teeth.Oh, and the eyes. Beautiful flaming orange eyes with slitted pitch black pupils. Fuck Trazyn’s fancy silver noodle, thiswas a...
