Default It lives!!!

My old laptop has been revived, and my flash drive found. With this, comes a HUGE influx of my 40K fluff I had lost. So.. What should I post on and finish first? I will let you Terrans decide. You have 3 days. The most votes will get worked on first, and the next highest second, and so on and so forth! The poll contains the most developed pieces. The SW piece is a short epic poem/saga I had to do in World Lit, but for ease of definition I called it a short story!

I was hoping you'd chime in. The fluff I've got up yet mainly discusses the major company figures PRE-Heresy. And it's nto quite done yet. Once I am done though, I will take and describe The Fall, then their existence after. A 3-part chronicle really.

I have chosen Blood Angels. I think it would be nice to see how you work with a well established chapter, rather than a DIY one.

*nods* The BA one is actually quite controversial. It is the last moments of Sanguinius life, as seen through his eyes. Given Horus crushed his windpipe, it takes quite a while for someone of mortal stature to suffocate... If a Primarch, with all the enhancements of an SM and more were done such, they would live for a few.. Sanguinius lives long enough to see the Emperor kill horus before he collapses.

The Sanguinius piece is rather short. so I can complete it easily. As it stands, the first arch of the 6th Company fluff is nearly completed.

Voted Space Wolf saga. Purely as I'm wolf player. I am intrigued to see your work on the blood angels though.

There is the ROUGH draft of the BA fluff. Fragments of other stories up as soon as I can post them, so you guys can pick which for me to finish!

I voted Space Wolves, but you should do all of them as fast as you can because they all sound really cool. I've just read the BA one, and if they're all of that quality, they're all fantastic! I also voted SW because epic poems are awesome!

Yeah.. Mine echoed Beowulf... The file was sadly corrupted, so I will have to start from scratch.. This means I need to break out my old copies of Homers work and Beowulf and study them again! >.<
