I did some more searching, and apparently there was mention of it in the fifth edition WFRP book.

Maybe it's just one of those popular false rumours, but if it is, it's pretty darn popular. And according to A4, the cult of Tzeentch was widespread throughout Cathay, so that makes it official as far as I'm concerned :P.

I meant fifth edition WHFB Chaos armybook... My bad, no idea how I messed that up :P.

(on the other hand, I have been cooped up in a small 37 degrees celsius room with poor ventilation for the past three days, so yeah, that might explain it :P).

Oh, right.

That sounds unpleasant! Get someone to pay the ransom to have you released.

There are bits and pieces about Cathay being under the sway of Tzeetch, but then again, if you believe the fluff the Empire is too...them and Skaven.

  Same here.  I might get off my arse and paint some of the Empire I have lying around.  I'm certainly going to need them to count them as Mercenary Company.

it's summer now so it should be starting soon right?

from what i've seen on their site i doubt they'd deviate to tzench, they are really fanatical about the horned rat. the only one of the chaos gods i've even heard mentioned was slaanesh, but that was in a bit of fluff so i don't think it counts.

Regards to the Tzeentch in Cathy discussion....

Quote
-1200 The Cult of Chi’an Chi (known to the mortals of the Old World as Tzeentch) gains favour amongst the aristocracy of Beichai in Cathay. (WA: WOC 7th eds)


There is also a mention in one of the WH novels of a Cathay ambassador to the empire who is a Tzeentch worshiper. More or less this was used as the basis for the Tzeentch religion that was in A4.

If that's the character from 'Beasts in Velvet,' he wasn't the real ambassador. He'd murdered and replaced him.

I would imagine within the next month at least.  I think they wanted to start sooner but ran into some roadbumps.

Being a 'red' does give me some superior spying abilities, and I can confirm the team is close ............

They are just refining the levels of treachery and the unscrupulousness of the greed - the possibilities of mayhem and backstabbing should reach new heights ........  :engel:

new heights? it can't be much higher than the skaven campaign... if it is any worse you'll be having players with 10+ accounts and so much spying that 5 seconds after an ultra-top-secret plan is posted the entire site will know about it...

so i doubt it'll be more treacherous than the under dark

Maybe not, but at least people will be able to understand it. :wink:  And note that I speak as a player at this point as I'm no longer on the campaign team.

It's coming along slowly but I feel better for the most part, thanks.

As to the other part, it's more of an honorary title at the moment.

Hi all,

Sorry if I'm posting in the area but I wanted to find out how this campaign works as I'm new to Warhammer Empire and if it's too late to join.  Most importantly of all I wanted to find out if there are any people from Canberra, Australia playing who are looking for a game as I'm worried I may be the only person playing it in my city, if I am is there any way to get round it and still take part in the campaign.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Michael  :biggriin:

Marshall, as Flux says, it's not too late to join, it has yet to start :wink:

As for contributing, as stated several times, there is many ways to contribute. One way is to write fluff, and if that's not to your liking, there is possible to play warhammer over the internet, either using lorenz whfb, or either Ogre stronghold: http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=14438.0, or at asrai.org: http://asrai.org/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=12201. Apart from that, I'm sure there will be som contest you can win :wink:

Cheers,
Dunrik

Assuming you meant nobody is playing TnG in your city, rather than nobody is playing warhammer at all, you could just play games against the people you normally play against, and submit those games. Unless the GMs changed this since the last campaign (I believe I read somewhere that you could still play against people who didn't participate in the campaign themselves, but Dunrik makes me doubt my memory :P).

It'll probably be a bit harder to use the campaign army lists, since your friends might not be okay with you using them (fortunately mine don't have a problem with what I want to play, and they usually find the lists interesting enough to try them out themselves).

If, however, the rules were changed without me knowing (which, incidentally, isn't all that rare, and usually my fault :P), then it looks like we're both stuck on typing duty for the summer :P (or, as Dunrik suggests, online games).
