One of the best story I came across! Thank you for starting and finished this story!

Aight, I'll have to drop this here. You make it seem that the Bretonnians are engaging the Imperials in melee... On their horses. The strength of cavalry is their devastating charge. You're not stopping an 800 kilo armored horse and it doesn't matter how skilled you are. If they were outnumbered 3 to 1, there's no containing the simple maneuver of riding a bit away and charging back. I understand the arrogance, the "fight me, you imperial scum", but these people are not idiots to fail something so basic.

Couple gripes.
Shepard comes off a bit too immature for my liking, tbh. Being snarky is one thing, but this is a snarky teenager, not a supposedly special forces veteran, Spectre, saviour of the Galaxy, yada yada. She's over 30, not 16.
The distances are a bit sketchy. From Talabecland - was it somewhere aroubd Talabheim - to Altdorf is a BIG distance. By horse, with a contingent of troops even if they're trying to be fast, by my estimation around 8-10 days, not 2 days. This a very rough estimate based on a horse's speed per day, with one stop every 3 days - 40 km per day, and the distance very roughly being about 300-400 km.

Sometimes it's obvious from the very first piece if dialogue that the story is going to be good. Don't know anything at this point, but I know quality when I see it. Thanks for this. Warhamner fantasy fics are rare, and those that are good are rarer still.

This was not war, this was pest control.

LIZZID PEOPLE!

Man, I sure am glad that ratpeople ate merely a myth the small folk of thr Empire and Bretonnia tell to scare their wayward children in to behaving, and therefor no possible consequences of that last sentences or two could ensue.

I'm still unsure as to where this lifelong grief for a man she was married to for 3 years comes from. He started flirting with her the year before, they were married for three years, and then... she was never able to love again?

At her end, she was in her 90s and had only known Gregor for... what, 9 of those? And only started considering him as dating material... What, five years after that? I just don't see it. She knew him for 10% of her life and was married to him for 3 1/3%. Sorry to tell you, but he isn't that significant.

It's hardly my parents - they were married for nearly 40 years (before my father - recently - passed)! My grandparents were married for 70 (before my grandfather passed)!

What's being married for 3 compare to that?

It's so weird hearing you talk about how you aren't going to do End Times bs or send Shep to 40K on a re-read when I already know you're going to do both of those.

The Skaven are off of the board in Lustria because of stuff happening in the Empire? I don't know that that would be the case.

As I was rereading this yet again, I started to wonder if Shep had ever directly fought Slaaneshi forces. She fights Nurgle and Khorne here and Tzeentch in 40K, but I don't remember Slaanesh.

Shep helps the Ynnari fight Slaaneshi forces next?

Completely random thought: has anyone ever gone into the Wood Elf forests and been like "Yo! Wood Elves! Are there any dead, dying, or fallen trees we could take for lumber? We have some seeds to try and replace any we do take!"

Or would the Elves just shoot them dead before they got that far?

Star-bound brought me here, and I am not disappointed at all. This was a great read and I hung onto each word. Thank you!

Re-reading this, just realised the coincidence of the Engineer's name. Kinda dark, but also kinda funny how it's another case of "Be an idiot and a dickhead and learn what happens"
