We're a canon unit! Hip-hip huzzah!
« on: May 02, 2011, 02:26:19 PM »
Thanks to the efforts of author and Grenadier par excellance Ken Horner, the Hexare Grenadiers mercenary command has been canonized in a cameo in Field Report: LAAF!

Thank you all for making this campaign something truly special, and to Ken for preserving it for posterity!

Please pick up a copy of FR: LAAF, and may we enjoy many more adventures together!

A toast to the Hexare Grenadiers!

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

I did a double-take when I came across it.  We're mentioned in two different pages, too!

Page 18 is the only reference I can find under Irregular Forces. "The Hexare Grenadiers found a Level II camped out on Oporto and called in the Qanatir MTM to help them wipe out the Word’s forces."

Check the previous page for a repeat of the same event with the Qanatir MTM, except we're not mentioned in name there.

Congratulations.

"In turn they tested each Clan namesake
in trial against the Ice Hellion's mettle.
Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.
