FROM THE BOILING BLOOD SEA ROSE EIGHT MIGHTY CREATURES, EACH WITH THE HEADS OF  DOGS AND THE BODIES OF LIONS, AND EACH ONE YOKED WITH GREAT CHAINS OF BRASS.

From a ruinous and spite-filled thread, I will draw something useful. The Tiji Sector of 4chan was an expansive creation, but now it is old and neglected. While new additions have been penciled in (such as the Knight Worlds), the original worlds and systems have been left without expansion.

 

So /tg/, in the interests of creation and fun (to say nothing of making a name for ourselves as a board), I propose we

start fresh and make ourselves a new Sector. Let's prove we can do this just as well as the old /tg/, better even.

To begin with, a few ideas tossed around the other thread:

>Name ideally to do with concepts of eternity and/or infinity

>Initial name of Aetern

>Khorne is the prominent Chaos God here, representing the unspeakably ancient side of the Warp factions (and our own boundless rage)

>in second is Slaanesh, representing immeasurable excess (and the newness of the board)

>State of the Sector: how fiucked (or not) is it?

>Eldar must be present (and possibly a prominent problem)

>Orks find a cavern full of long black pyramids that grab on to the nearest gob that gets too close with tentacles that grow back

>Weirdboyz are looking into a way to take the pyramids with them

>a binary system where one habitable planet has eight moons that has at least one in constant eclipse

>a space hulk somewhere with an artifact that warps the inside into a M C Escher nightmare

>sounds like the Deceiver's playground, if not the domain of Tzeentch

>the Eldar don't want it to get loose, as it could do nasty things to the warp and weft of reality if it were not confined

>referencing the Guardian of Forever

>an isolated desert world or maybe even a weirdly frozen asteroid belt featuring warp gates of the Old Ones, the most ornate (and best hidden) of them capable of sending whole armies all the way back to the War in Heaven

>Eldar Exodites and  Craftworlders enjoy the closest thing they have to the Good Old Days in a quartet of Paradise Worlds hidden behind a warp storm

>another planet has a Commissar who believes he's reliving the same day over and over again while the native rodents steal the Guard's grenades

>State of the Imperium and Mankind in this sector: Old as the Dark of Technology? Older?

Is this acceptable?

We'll make ourselves a map only once we've gotten a fair amount of planets and the start of a hub or two. Those last things are important, and Tiji lacked them.  It helps structure the sector, establish atmosphere, and provide useful starting points for PCs from any of the 40K roleplaying lines. It might even be a good idea to figure that one out amid the first planets made.

You could mess around with the idea that the whole sector draws to it outcasts and exiles from all over the galaxy. They get weird dreams, and are drawn to it.

There's Eldar pirates and exodites, hiding behind the moons. The entire planet used to be one of their holy grounds, where it's rumored that an avatar of Khorne fought an avatar of Slaanesh over who gets to eat an avatar of Khaine. The occasional Eldar host goes there in search of relics from the past, or just to fuck with the locals. There's a working webway gate somewere in the sector, but the Eldar have taken great pains to hide it from the other races.

It's important to note that according to the Eldar, the avatar of Khaine won the threesome. According to the Khornates, it was their representative; and according to the followers of Slaanesh, it's theirs. The only thing that is constant in all three stories is that the three-way duel needed a judge, and that's where the Guardian of Forever comes in. Who or what that is, is unknown.

Whether the three demonic entities really clashed with one another in the ancient past is unknown, but what is known is that the entire sector has a strange presence to it. It is cold and unforgiving (but not in the extreme - it's more like the Siberian tundra than the Space Wolves homeworld), but that the outcasts who travel there feel strangely at home. They end up forming small bands or travel alone, searching for resources and traversing the land. They're big on exchanging war stories and other lore, and even if they do come to blows over resources, it rarely ends in death.

Most people who ended up there say that they came there because they dreamed of this place. They somehow end up knowing where the place is, and they grow a weird obsession over reaching it. It's especially strong with those who've been cast out by their former peers, the criminals in hiding, and the occasional Chaos warrior on the run. The Inquisition has taken interest in the sector, but its remoteness and lack of resources (it's fucking barren) mean it's not as important as other things. That, and the Eldar tend to kill off everyone who grows too strong. That's how the Orks ended up in the sector - the Eldar introduced them as a way of maintaining the status quo.

The scary thing is that the dreams seem to be infectious - prolonged contact with someone who's had the dream of the sector seems to make the other person dream about it too. Hearing just once about the dream makes the other person dream about it instantly. The Inquisition found this out after several prison riots - one prisoner started talking about this weird dream, others soon dreamt the same place, and several days later they had a prison riot on their hand with everyone trying to reach the sector. Even though it's considered hazardous, the Inquisition wants the place intact - the prisoners who end up there are content to stay there, so they're considering turning it into a prison sector. The prisoners would never want to leave the place.

The human factions are split into three groups. The Imperials are mostly a bunch of nomads and caravan travelers. with a strong Adeptus Mechanicus presence (again, mostly outcast or shunned technpriests). They move around in mechanical convoys. The largest imperial city is a spaceport led by an alliance of several techpriests, caravan leaders (who form the local IG), some space marines on a repentance crusade, and some Rogue Traders in charge of supplies. They're interested in retaking an ancient space hulk that's been orbiting the planet and turning it into a fortress-city.

The two remaining factions are the Khornates and the Slaaneshi. The Khornates are usually small bands of Chaos Space Marines, traveling the land and seeking to duel worthy opponents. They prefer to travel alone, but some of them have formed their own caravan-warbands. The Slaaneshi took over the prisons and mines, and turned them into pleasure pits. What the Khornates have in strength, these guys make it up with numbers. There's a lot of drugged-up, violent criminals that will do anything for another fix, and their Slaaneshi champions are more than eager to use them. The worst of the bunch is a Champion rumored to have enthralled thousands of criminals with his stories alone.

There's rumors of some Tzeentch presence here, but that's been unverified so far. If there is a Tzeentchian sorcerer around, he's mastered the art of disguise.

I tried.

Well, if this is a throwback sector full of warpstorms obscuring stuff, how about some Zoats? Considering the size of the Tyranid presence I don't all of their hapless scouts were wiped. Maybe coexisting with an entirely ymgarl hive, keeping it in check to stop any beacon from piercing the storm.

Ohoho.  Does this include a warpy version of Hashut? And if so, a minor god in his own right, or a Greater Daemon of one of the Big Four?

>>185058

A self-sacrificing band of the critters? How would this work?

>>185057

It's a good effort, anon, and a good start. From the sound of things, this sector is a frontier on the edge of the galaxy.  Looking at my map here, I propose that we set it in the Segmentum Tempestus, at the edge of the Veiled Region. This would partly explain why the Imperium isn't so developed out here, in addition to what you've stated.

That said, I wouldn't make it completely barren. After all, in the example you used, Siberia features plenty of places for fields, and has plenty of taiga forest. So, perhaps it also has some opportunities to commercial interest and the nomads. You mentioned mines, after all, and there should be a fair number of places which can support life.

All this mention of nomads is making me think of steppe tribes and the Bedouin of the Maghrib (North Africa). Perhaps the place has various "seasonal" migrations in progress, influenced by the Warp currents and storms. This also leads me to think the longer-established Slaaneshi communities will involve large (and convoluted) extended families, while some of the older Khornate bands might exist around clan structures.

Now here's a question: does the dream-lure of the sector have an effect on the Eldar themselves? Do even they know what's going on with it?

 

▶Anonymous  10/19/15 (Mon) 14:39:40 No.185093>>185138 >>185155 >>185221

>>185059

That would explain a lot.

The avatar of Khorne was the greater daemon Hashut. He won. Unfortunately there is a reason that Khaine has been Slaanesh's fucboi this whole time, absorbing it gave Hashut a spark of independence. Whats more, he ate the fucking Slaaneshi whore, who got off on that and gave him a vore fetish and his bull like appearance. As Skarbrand had done before/after, Hashut raised his axe in rebellion. Unlike Skarbrand, Hashut was chased to the ends of the warp, eventually hiding in a warpstorm, the Forever Pit that even the Eldar knew as old. There the masons of Khorne constructed a gate of Obsidian to forever trap this deviant and outcast, one that dared practice magic, one that dared rebel, one that managed to outrun the hounds of Khorne.

Queue Great Crusade, Squats are desperate, some turn to chaos in their exodus. They find the gate. Chaos Dwarves IN SPACE!

>does the dream-lure of the sector have an effect on the Eldar themselves?

Why do you think there's so many Eldar pirates and exodites there? They know there's something wrong with the place, but since they already took the dream-bait, they're stuck there. So they're doing their best to keep other Eldar at bay, which is why there's only one functional webway gate in the entire sector. That's also part of the reason why most of the Eldar there are mercenaries and pirates - they need the resources to keep vigil without risking other Eldar lives.

Part of why they introduced the Orks as well into the sector is to keep others at bay. Though it's possible that the Orks are going to be the ones to wake the thing (whatever it is) up with their constant digging around and fighting.

As for the planet itself, maybe it's currently used as the breadbasket of the whole sector, but there's something wrong with the food. Those that eat it become paranoid, aggressive and start isolating themselves from others. Maybe that's why the Eldar hang around the moons, to avoid the food (or anything that grew on the planet itself). It would also explain why the Inquisition suddenly decided to turn the aggro-world into a mining world, and why the Rogue Traders (who're totes not working with the Inquisition) are pushing for the colonists to resettle on that space hulk.

Oh and Zoats.

The Ymgarl gene-stealers are not wanted by the Hivemind, and are unique in attempting to go to it. The Zoats might in some way be attractive to the Ymgarl, like an echo of the whole. The zoats would farm the Ymgarl for parts, as it is plainly obvious they replace bits of themselves. Shaping them with psychic manipulation into custom organ replacement.

>Rebellion by Zoat from Tyranid control was not unknown, but was extremely rare, due to the Tyranids' naturally secreting a special "slave-hormone" which suppressed the Zoats' natural sense of independence and kept them docile servants under the Hive Mind's psychic control. However, renegade Zoats did exist throughout the universe, where they had broken away from the Hive Fleets or had become lost during scouting or exploration missions. Without the inhibiting influence of the Tyranid slave-hormone, the Zoat were able to develop strong psychic abilties. The range of these independent Zoat communities was incredibly-diverse, with small groups isolated from each other on widely scattered planets across the galaxy.

Sounds like this version of Hashut would be surprisingly chill guy, if he was willing to run and lay low for a long while.  

Now, this section provokes two more questions from me: First (and maybe simplest), did the Forever Pit draw Hashut like a magnet, and does it do similar things to other daemons?

>gets the mental image of certain plants, like the pitcher, the sundew, and the rafflesia (also known as corpse flower)

Secondly… how do these Chaos Squats work? Are they slavers who have an actual impact on the area? Which races do they enslave? Are they big into cannibalism? Hell, is their neck of the sector easy to find, or in the back of beyond?

Well well, that's interesting. One of the nicest worlds in the sector affects whoever settles it, no matter their species.  Nice and slow kind of trap. Must have very complex agents in the ground. Alright, keep going: what sort of planet is this and what all goes on there?

While we're at it, we might as well have the Men of Iron, Stone, and Gold (whatever that nutbar meant).   There are also alien and Chaos 'bots who could cause trouble.

As is the answer with many chaos questions, when presented with contradictory claims the answer is "Yes". The whole sector is a land of outcast, and attracts the outcast. Chicken, thy name is egg.

>So, the Ymgarl are like cattle to the Zoats here? Cattle and minions?  How do they interact with the rest of the sector?

Since most of the imperium never knew about/forgot what Zoats are, and the ymgarl and Zoats look little like Tyranids proper, they pass themselves off as strange xenos.

>Why? Unless you want to say that the Yu'vath have some distant outposts here…

Just listing off seemingly retconned lore, drop it on the cutting room floor. One centauride faction seems enough.

>AI

Binary star system, a dozen or so rocky planets. One of the stars is a pulsar with a C'tan shard fucking it up, the other is an unfinished Æonic Orb. The gravity waves cause huge bursts of organic shredding radiation. The world closest to the duo is liquid iron, kept hot by its proximity. Beyond that are two Tomb worlds, damaged but still operable. An archeotech treasure trove, a heavily shielded forgeworld founded in the golden age, and a mysterious hollow world fit between. On the outskirts is an orky world replete in scrap. Since going further in is suicide without HUEG shields, the weirdboyz build tin boyz to WAAAGH for them.

Recently, after tin boy expeditions into their depths, the dyson world has lit up a ghostly orange and the archeotech world's surface scrap has all but disappeared. The Magos has set the entire forgeworld on a war footing in fear.

Hehe, there are the obvious things that define places then there are the subtle things. A glowing planet is a mystery, a glowing orange planet just doesn't make sense. Who? Why? The fuck?

Purple, blue, yellow green, red? Easy, warp fuckery. Gold? Emps was here. Rusty? Bionic librarians or space Glasgowians. But orange? Who?

As for the lure catching them, every Necron was once living. They, being warpless, could probably leave now, if it wasn't programmed into their lords mind.

I don't know why but I'd love to see a Necron King in Yellow and Black Pharaoh. Necron capes are bitchin.  Tomb worlds Carcos and N'gai.

>>185012 (You) (OP)

>yfw you're linked in the OP

I blush. Also those planetary creation tool links don't work.

Anyway, I was rolling around with the creation tables on 1d4chan just the other day, came up with some stuff I wouldn't mind interjecting. Basically, what I rolled and came up with from those roles are:

>Crusading SoB Order led by a former Avenger Strike Fighter. They are fleet based, and float around with a fleet of appropriated civilian-ships converted into carriers, and do warp-jumps that are perilously close to their targets and rapidly deploy all fighters/bombers for the bays. The makeshift carriers are made to be heavily armoured, but lacking in armament of note.

>A planets worth of primitive Ork klans from a feudal world. When the lords refused to submit the Imperium, they were slaughtered and ran into Ork territory. The two groups mingled, a la Digganobs from the old Gorkamorka game. The end result is Ork and Umie klans, think Snake Bites Klan plus Knightly influences.

>The abhuman descendants of an Imperium research outpost that was studying a star which was a null somehow. Disaster and old Imperial forgetfulness left them abandoned, where they ate highly mutagenic monkeys and became more colourful planet of the apes people. They fight feral, massive tyranids from time to time in a 'Japan vs Godzilla' sense. These abhumans are friends to the SoB, and have a religion that does have the Emperor at the top but the original settlers as demi-gods/angels.

I've also been thinkan-up something about the Thousand Sons, descendants of a part of their fleet that was sent away from Prospero before it was bombed and thus weren't take to the eye of terror like the rest of their legion. They did experience a warp-travel problem in that they emerged in the 41st millennium, and ended up renegade after they learned of the Burning of Prospero unlike the Blood Ravens. Working name for the chapter was the Sons of Photep, and they make use of the Spireguard (Prospero IG) more so than themselves, due to mutation purges.

Your /monster/ is showing.

And strictly speaking, motifs of weird beings need not be top tier powers. The black pharaoh, if going off Nyarlathotep's avatar, would best be represented by a Cryptek Lord who makes freaky instruments. And king in yellow does not necessarily mean Hastur, dig a bit deeper in lore, though having a freaky mangled tentacle wraith form under the robes would be interesting. Either way their themes are musicly related. An enthralling play with a strange ochestra on a clockwork stage, played with precision for eons.

>Must have very complex agents in the ground.

I've been thinking of the thing being some sort of nanite-virus. It spreads as an organic vector, and it slowly reprograms those infected into coming to the planet and staying there. The thing then slowly kills its host, using its body to produce more of itself. And because the damn thing has had countless hosts over the years, it slowly starts mutating the bodies of those infected - which explains how the fuck the half-Eldar might be a thing, or why the Beastmen are suddenly around. Sometimes the nanites gather in one place and just spew out some biological horror (which, when you kill it, just infects more people).

It could be a remnant of some Dark Age of Technology thing used to terraform worlds gone Chaotic. Or it might be a C'tan.

Too many Forgeworlds would make it way too active to be a remote and barren sector though.

How about a system where the Iron Men are still around fighting? Whatever happened to corrupt them all, either didn't or didn't properly happen here, or perhaps they just killed all the humans in the system, and then continued their programming and went back to fighting the enemy robots.

Originally being a battleground for resources by two human corporations, the resources are now long gone as the robots have excavated everything to fuel their constant war, and now resort to scavenging and repairing themselves from scrap.

It's obviously not somewhere you can just drop in and loot ancient tech, but both Orks and Chaos forces have long been probing the robots' defences looking for a way to slip in.

Perhaps if they could locate some kind of command code or IFF broadcast to fool the deranged robots' sensors…

I never said more than one. And wouldn't a remote sector without a strong Imperial presence be the best place to start building one? Barren and remote sectors sound like a black market dream.

It doesn't have to be anywhere close to being a complete Forge World. Hell, it could just be small arms factories with the skeletons of larger, incomplete factories all around. The Dark Mechanicus have staked claim to the world, and intend to build it up.

Either that, or a Dark Mechanicus Forgeship or two floating on by.

Actually, you could have him whispering and bellowing in the dreams of people sectors away… but then, if something happens to shut him down or hurt him badly, all that happens is another, even older "voice" that always underlaid Hashut's takes over for a time, gently and irresistibly beckoning as it always has.

It might even feel pleased.

Point being, the central mystery remains intact, and deepens further. One Malleus Inquisitor sinks into frustrated despair, while another of the Ordo Xenos delves into the Sector with even greater enthusiasm.  Aetern takes in yet another bright light to its flock.

They're all about pre-heresy Prospero, culture and whatnot. They still use psykers heavily within their ranks, but their marines are constantly sidelined due to mutations so they'd use their Spireguard a lot more than their own marines.

And I wouldn't describe them as Tzeentchean, they're not down with Tzeentch at all. But, they're prone to mutations and as such some do turn to Tzeentch, they're often forced to do purges of their own forces from time to time.

So far as recruitment, extreme and extensive breeding program of their recruitment world/s of the most elite and genetically stable humans. However, this has led to a rise in mutants outside this program on the world. All the fit humans make up the middle to elite of the New Prospero(?) society, with lower classes filled with mutation, and the lower class is larger by far.

If would suggest that the internal problems they have with mutation and the occasional brother who falls to Tzeentch is exacerbated due to them building armies out of the lower class mutants.

>Can they also do atmospheric dogfighting?

I see what you're getting at but somehow that never occurred to me. They were always suppose to be (original) planet of the ape mixed with Lutung monkeys (because they look cool).

I was watching Ultraman X when I came up with the nid's idea. Not too attached to it really, but the idea was that multi-story high mutant genestealers, hive tyrants, lictors, etc who'd gone feral would smack each other up Kaiju style, sometimes inside cities.

I'd figure them more anti-traitor/heretic, reminiscent of the whole Vlad vs Ottoman deal. Either way they have a nasty and brutal habit of impaling suspected traitors and heretics in massive numbers.

Waaaait-a-minute. Could it be that this nanite-virus and the background effect of Aetern has made it effectively impossible for the Nids to form a hivemind? Further, that the virus is what's causing them to get so large (again, a la Umbrella)?

They have a boarder drawn up that is 'their' territory, but they haven't retreated to that territory. They will defend it with all their might.

>Hmm? You seem to have trailed off.

Sorry.

The Son's of Photep are aggressively perusing genetically fit humans (ie healthy examples of high society) to replenish failing or inadequate stocks for their Spireguard and themselves. They are actively involved in slave trade and slave raids, and don't mind selling lower class mutants to chaos parties in exchange for goods they can't otherwise make themselves, although like to do so with/through the Dark Mechancius as a proxy (to avoid coming close to the taint of chaos, which they're already got a problem with on their world/s) when possible.

They could come into conflict with Voivode's Dragulmen through taking slaves, or even when selling mutants to chaos insurgents or Dark Mechanicus agents.

>So they're specialty equipped for urban combat and anti-insurgency. Emphasis on elite infantry (both CQC and ranged skill), rough riders, and bunker/gate/wallbuster artillery/armored munitions?

The rough riders don't make too much sense to if they're urban combat oriented. Maybe Sentinels would make a better choice for their calv, they're better use in urban environments and serve as scouts too.

Aside from that, loving it.

>what's this about a great play and orchestra?

I can't seem to locate it, but I distinctly remember a blurb about the Necron's relations with Tzeentch. Tzeentch loathes the Necrons for the fact that they are boring. Being automatons they are incredibly predictable, going through the same routines over and over and over. They never change.

I could say much to dispel the mystery, but rather I will give hints. One planet was for conversion, another was neutral, the third was not. The system once had one sun. If a mortal being were to watch the play as it unfolded, he would see the lords of the two planets playing the lead roles and a sacrificial common warrior playing a third in a blue robe. Through deft sign and holographic imagery a vast saga would be told while the metal mannequins gesticulate fervently as though time were shortened by they scene. The sacrificial warrior would stand higher and not bow before the symbol of the C'tan.

In a sudden flash, symbols and actors moving faster than the eye can capture, the warrior is melted to slag and the C'tan is splintered across the stae. The lords look solemn, bowing their heads to the ground, slowly digging their feet in. This lasts over an hour before a piece of the C'tan shard gravitates back to the center and the lords look back up.

I can see Magnus giving a bit of a shit, if he's lucid enough to focus for a minute. Ahriman, who knows what Ahriman wants. I don't think he cares much for the legion any more, only his eternal quest to understand Tzeentch itself.

Magnus could send agents to New Prospero (I'm not decided on that name for their new homeworld yet) to keep informed on shit but I doubt he's be sending armed forces to fuck around with anything. Magnus was super buttmad about the Rubric fucking over his marines so I doubt he'd have any ill-will towards those that escaped the curse, nor would genetic research done on New Prospero be able to fix his psychic dust ghost marines, but also he's too ingrained with chaos to want to make normal marines anymore.

I understand the angle you're going for and there a good place for that dynamic between two groups, but maybe not with the Sons of Photep.

Unless there's a rogue band from the Sons of Photep, but they'd likely lose the goal of reclaiming them for the legion since they're not effected by the Rubric to begin with, most would likely not want to give up their souls and become magic dust encased in their armour with no will ever again.

If you wanna go for the chaos vs 'loyalist' angle, the primary chaos god in the sector is going to be Khorne, so you could come up with something like a split chapter of Blood Angel successors. A few companies did something Khornate and got the whole group declared heretics, so the uncorrupted group are after them trying to clear their name, force-renegades.

Just an idea.

I'm also not sold on Photep. I don't mind it but I wouldn't mind changing it to be Prehotep, Minhotep or Kheti. Something like that. Some Egyptian all around.

Kerakht Kheti has a nice sound to it. Sons of Kheti. Hm.

>Fortunato

I was thinking Sycorax, the witch from The Tempest, whose son, Caliban, was rival of the sorcerer Prospero. It's a shame Caliban is the homeworld of the Dark Angels, because in The Tempest he's the deformed son of a witch Sycorax, which just fits. But then I could just call it Kemet after Egypt. Or maybe after any Ancient Egyptain capital.

I also did a basic colour scheme. The idea is that the elite units, leaders and sorcerers would have the red of the pre-heresy Thousand Sons. Not sure what the average joe marine would have, colourwise, probably a white or blue heavy colour scheme. So far as the model of armour they'd use, probably Mk5 Heresy Armour as the base of their armour because of its simplicity of construction and their general lack of industry and resources to purchase armour with.

It doesn't have to be entirely Egyptian, the theme of the legion appears to be Mediterranean powers. Do you think Magnus and Prospero are Egyptian words? Hell, the troops look like legionnaires wearing their shields.

That said those are some nice names you got there.

Well, no. But aside from the primarch and the planet, most of the Thousand Son's names are Egyptian themed: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Known_Members_of_the_Thousand_Sons

Given that they consider themselves the last sons of Prospero, what with all the others gone evil or turned into dust, they'd probably bury themselves deeper into their culture normal.

Kerakht Kheti has grown on me. Sons of Kheti it is, methinks.

Good morning, gentlemen.

>>185238

Question is, apart from the Men of Iron or an STC, what else could they be searching for?

>>185257

>So they're specialty equipped for urban combat and anti-insurgency. Emphasis on elite infantry (both CQC and ranged skill), rough riders, and bunker/gate/wallbuster artillery/armored munitions?

>The rough riders don't make too much sense to if they're urban combat oriented. Maybe Sentinels would make a better choice for their calv, they're better use in urban environments and serve as scouts too.

>Aside from that, loving it.

Currently occupied. Think we could roll up the rest of their parts?

>Pictures ornately decorated Sentinels with dragon-banners and impaled heretic skulls/skeletons

>>185265

So, a grand ceremony intended to commemorate their struggle with the C'tan… before they knuckled back under?

I like the sound of this, but… is there another dance to refer to their arrival and stay in Aetern?

Tzeentch and his followers despise the Necrons because while they can scheme and plot, they are robots, and so all of that treachery comes from programming. They see them as playing at being alive, while only being glorified wind-up toys.

>>185274

>>185288

>>185297

Sons of Kheti… Yes, that has a nice ring to it.

So, would Magnus send marines or daemons as his emissaries?

>If you wanna go for the chaos vs 'loyalist' angle, the primary chaos god in the sector is going to be Khorne, so you could come up with something like a split chapter of Blood Angel successors. A few companies did something Khornate and got the whole group declared heretics, so the uncorrupted group are after them trying to clear their name, force-renegades.

Well, since this place draws renegades from across the Galaxy, wouldn't it create a monstrous mixture of traitor/renegade marines from across the Khornate spectrum?  Thinking a kind of 'Black Legion of Khorne' here, maybe also functioning for Slaanesh.

Sounds also like this place would be an ideal place for remnants of Cursed Founding, loyal, renegade, and traitor to gather. It's a refuge, albeit one where the Inquisition can keep an eye on them.

Speaking of the Inquisition, we've already established that they're interested in this sector and determine some of its affairs, but they're not so interested that they make the place a priority. They're also aware of the Aeterno Syndromica or Pharos Aeterno Effect.  They know that the place is a gigantic snare and prison, not quite dangerous enough to be a trap (yet…but certain findings might change that status).  So I ask you gents, what should be the Holy Ordos' presence here? Purely outsiders looking in through intermediaries, dedicated individuals willing to set up formal operations within the sector at the price of mobility, or some combination thereof?  How visible are these wardens and watchmen of the vast prison?

 

▶Anonymous  10/20/15 (Tue) 12:44:54 No.185348>>185373

>>185334 (You)

The Inquisition would have Ordo Xenos for the Necrons/Eldar/Orks, and Ordo Hereticus for all the Heretics and Chaos Space marines that flock to the sector.

Ordo Xenos would also be here to look for anything that comes through the Halo Stars into the Galaxy, while Ordo Hereticus would need that crusading SoB as chamber militants and probably some Space Marines to help out with the Chaos space marine chapters from the Cursed Founding.

This brings up a question… How many Chaos Space Marine chapters/legions are here? Since Khorne has the most influence so the World Eaters/some Black Legionary's are a must, but who else would be there?

Would there be any other Space Marines besides the Thousand Sons splinter?

I always had an idea for a renegade chapter of Space Marines who aren't Chaos affiliated, but I'm a shitty writer. Maybe an Alpha Legion cell using a mix of newer and older gear and armour without the usual Alpha Legion markings. Maybe pretending to be a loyalist chapter aiding local governments and toying with the Inquisition. I mean, what does your typical Imperial civilian or planetary governor know about Space Marines. There are thousands of chapters out there, it would be quite easy to get confused.

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Chaos_Space_Marine_Legions_and_Warbands_(List) There are thirty-two (==multiple of EIGHT spotted!==  confirmed Khornate Warbands on this list, six confirmed Slaaneshi (Score on the number again!), eight for Tzeentch (Blasphemy!), and nineteen for Papa Nurgle. I'd add in the /tg/ custom Glistening Host (for Slaanesh), as well as other /tg/ custom chapters (or splinters thereof, at least.

Also, you didn't mention the Ordo Malleus.

Which brings to mind something:

Hereticus Abomini (Hereteks, Chaos Marines,  hybrids, caller-cults of Aetern, Abominable Intelligences of Aetern)

Xenos Horrificus (Necron Dynasties, C'tan, Genestealers, Possible Unveiled Race(s))

Diabolus Maxima (Hashut (the Devouring Brass Lord), Illace (Daemon Mistress of Monsters), Warp-beasts of the Veil)

Obscuras Enigmata (Pharos Aeterno Effect, Synth-mutate plague, the Veil, Sons of Kheti and other chronal weirdness, The Guardian of Forever)

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Steel_Brethren An interesting discovery I've made is that the Iron Warriors had a civil war in which several factions emerged or were put to the sword.  Perhaps remnants of the Shattered Tower escaped to Aetern. That could be interesting to work with. In fact, the souls of destroyed or lost warbands could end up in this area (by dint of Warp shenanigans).

The Skulltakers seem to not have much on them, they'd be a good place for Khorne's people, i suppose the cruiser Ferrum Invictus could be in the sector and the Angels of Ecstasy for Slaanesh's hand in the sector.

But with so many different Inquisitorial Orders in the sector there would need to be more Loyalist chapters to help them, and if were bringing in the Ordo Malleus we may need to bring either the Gray Knights or their "successor chapter" the Exorcists into the fold.

>>185377

WELCOME TO THE AETERN SECTOR, EVERYTHING IS COLD, THE INQUISITION IS EVERYWHERE AND WE HAVE WAY TO MANY DIFFERENT FACTIONS FIGHTING!

Here's my proposal for the main factions and their people.

Renegades: Pre-Heresy Thousand sons and Spireguard, We'll need to make a new Chapter here though, any Guardsmen that go Renegade.

Chaos: (Khorne) Skulltakers, (Undivided) Steel Brethren, (Slaanesh) Angels of Ecstasy. (Any) Traitor Guardsmen.

Loyalist: Gray Knights/Exorcists, 4-5 different Inquisition Ordos, Some random or new chapter here, Imperial Guard.

Eldar: we'll need to make a new Craftworld

Necrons: C'tan shard pulsar, we still need to decide what Necron dynasty we have.

(life/breath + brazier/fire)

Their Phaeron's name has been stricken from the record, and his planet of residence is molten and boiling. Perhaps, deep below the radiation and magma, he sleeps the eons away. A faint signal can be heard in the hard static surrounding the planet, a ghostly melody like a score of clocks ticking away.

Surviving him are his second in command and brother, Xanzsan the Fair, and his most esteemed Cryptek Ebigraniyan'Tolcenth. Ebin for short.

While there are many tombworlds in this region of space very few are awake, and all are without direction.

Yes and no. These are Chaos Squats we're making. Bear in mind that this means they're part of the Squat race, and while Squats are indeed a form of Dwarves, this doesn't mean they have the same properties as the Dwarfs. Thus, the CS will operate on different rules, caused by mutation and "blessings" from their god, in addition to warptech augmetics and weaponry.  We will have to create them, and in so doing make them a faction distinct from the Lost & the Damned and other human Chaos groups.  For right now, if you want, hammer out the basics of this people, so that we can fit them into the sector and keep building.

Personally, I'm picturing some of the more powerful ones with inflexible faces made of sheet metal, forced into different shapes through specially-tailored artifice. Yes, I know this guy is fleshy and meant to look like marble, but this is the sort of WTFuckery I had in mind.   Also, the further along they get, the more their beards are made of actual copper wiring curled around.

The regular Squats themselves will not likely be even a minor faction. More likely they will be individuals and small groups of them sticking together. Think wanderers, mercenaries, and crusaders, those sorts of things. Mind, it might be cool to see them bring along their vehicles and share their use…

Things I'd like to see:

Slavery based industry - They don't have the mining equipment of yore and so have to use vast armies of miners.

Sacrifice to the bull - Praise Moloch Hashut, every sacrifice grants a small boon. On tabletop this reflects with an extra warp charge for every unit killed, granted you roll a 5+.

Hobgoblins - Orks that have survived the pollution of the slave worlds grow up misshapen and mean. Choppy as fuck, sickly-yellow tide.

Triangle of trade - Renegades/Zoats/Chaos want guns, C'Squats want slaves, Stryxis act as brokers.

Come to think of it, the guys pictured in here could make a decent PDF. Especially the ones with the brocaded jackets, oh my.

Okay, let's start off by saying that the Dragulmen are proper Imperial Guard.

Rolled 100, so 90, 45, and 63. Well then. If I've done this right, then the good Voivode selects from convicts (likely sociopaths and psychopaths, and other murderous folk for ruthlessness), Abhumans (Ratling snipers for slaying archheretics, quietly eliminating guards, and defusing hostage situations, Ogryns for close-range muscle/doorbusting, Squats for tinkering and quarter-masters, Chyropteran-varient Nightsiders for nightfighting and tracking(prominent among officers from certain regions), and carefully regulated numbers of beastmen), and the first-born of each family (strong, strapping lads and lasses, the other children can work the factories, mines, and other positions, Emperor knows we need to keep them going). Since prisoners of such dispositions would be comparatively harder to come by, we will assume they are used as shock troops together with some of the more frightening abhumans.

 Rolled 3, so this regiment is made through an Elite Tithe. The best of the PDFs across the system, at least for some parts of it.

Rolled a 5 on the Homeworld, and what do you know, that's a Hive! Fits nicely with the Urban Combat specialty they've got going. Should be fairly small hives by Imperial standards, though.

Rolled 69 for Terrain, Wasteland. Shall we simply make that some of the bleak (yet strangely attractive) terrain you'd expect in the mountains of Romania and the rad-blasted swamps of Pripyat? After all, with the hives smaller, there's a good chance there'd be some more green out there, even if it's unpleasant/needs boiling to be edible. Besides, we need villages to pogrom!

Alright, as for what they are, we already decided that they'd be Heavy Infantry and Shock Troopers (with some artillery and heavy vehicles for good measure).

As for Specialization, again, already decided beforehand:  They are Counter-insurgency, they have skill in both Close and Ranged Combat, and they are good with Hive Warfare (strictly speaking, they're good in any city, making their actual specialization Urban Combat). This makes them versatile and flexible. There's a reason they're the Voivode's men.

Rolled an 8 for Loyalty, Unorthodox. Hmm, that only starts to make sense if you look at the high number of Abhumans (particularly Beastmen) found in these regiments.  Also, potential overzealous brutality at times (oh, and possibly what I rolled below). Otherwise, they are loyal to Voievod and Dumnezeu- împărat.  

Special equipment iiiiis, YES, 17 for War Trophies!' That means the impaled skeletons and scalps/hides of traitors, heretics, and mutants. If they're fresh, they're still corpses. Then they are burnt off and cleaned before the smell gets too awful. Individual soldiers get to keep the skulls and handbones of any opponent they've killed (putting the skull either on a small pole on their backs, over their helmets, or bound to their pauldrons) after the rest of the body has been buried or incinerated.  Vehicle crews get to do the same with any intact bodies from an op (and in lieu of intact corpses, they can instead piece together a trophy from charred bits and mismatched bones), putting them on banner-poles which rattle and flap in the wind. Officers may preserve even more kinds of mortal remains, including preserved eyes and hearts (of traitors). All of these trophies are marked with the name of the campaign, the name of the soldier responsible, and a blurb (sometimes even whole stories depending on the size of the remains)) on how the trophy was earned.

Rolled a 4 on muh Creed, which means FOR THE HOMEWORLD AND THE VOIVODE! Back of beyond though it may be, these ghoulish assholes are proud of their homes, and proud to serve the Voivode. They want to show the rest of the Sector (and the rest of the Imperium, if possible) their might, and how well their lord picked.

Rolled a 78, which makes them Friends with… The Imperial Navy? This might not make sense at first, but because the Navy is needed to shuttle them here and there across the Sector, and they generally don't leave the Sector, they must spend an inordinate amount of time together. This also feeds into how Aetern's seasonal migrations and caravans work, with the Navy taking detachments of the Dragulmen along to help keep things secure, and drop them off where needed. It helps that these cheery, bloodthirsty folk aren't ones to be trifled with, thus few have the courage to hack them off. Besides, they are incredibly handy when a bunch of hullghasts or mutineers comes boiling out of the holds. The Dragulmen are in turn happy to earn exotic trophies on an otherwise boring journey.

Rolling for Enemy, 44…Tyranids? Bah! That makes no sense. Unlesssss we make them Genestealers, which do exist in Aetern… but these are Ymgarl, so… pfah, they certainly don't like the garden-variety 'Stealers, as those are a bitch to root out…but on the other hand they don't seem to mind overkill. Let's try again. Rolled 53… HAH. 'Chaos Space Marines. In general, they hate the giant crazed monsters, and the giant crazed monsters hate them. They are incredibly hard to kill and in turn can butcher whole platoons in moments. Then there's the whole "traitorous devil from the Warp" thing. In specific, the Skulltakers need to go die in a pyre of promethium already. They steal their schtick, they smash trophies, and for those who care in the regiment (among the first-born, at least), they slaughter communities of loyal, proven-pure Imperial subjects, some of which might even be family.

And there you have it, the ==Voivode's Dragulmen.==

Pffoo. http://aceattorney.wikia.com/wiki/Aristotle_Means_-_Image_Gallery Well, does this work better?

>Slavery based industry - They don't have the mining equipment of yore and so have to use vast armies of miners.

>Sacrifice to the bull - Praise Moloch Hashut, every sacrifice grants a small boon. On tabletop this reflects with an extra warp charge for every unit killed, granted you roll a 5+.

>Hobgoblins - Orks that have survived the pollution of the slave worlds grow up misshapen and mean. Choppy as fuck, sickly-yellow tide.

>Triangle of trade - Renegades/Zoats/Chaos want guns, C'Squats want slaves, Stryxis act as brokers.

Mmhm. So they've settled on mineral-rich worlds/systems?

By how you mentioned the Hobbies' choppiness, I'm guessing the C.Squats themselves are the shooty ones. What kind of ranged weapons do they prefer?

 Also, Zoats want guns? Wha?

The shape of the system center, after all warp storms and rifts are accounted for, resembles a loose, immense, three dimensional Labrynth of Knossos. If pursued the only way out is further through. Guess who the minotaur is?

Here is the magic of the sector, it would be a concern to the High Lords if it wasn't so cold in every sense of the word. There is no need to send anyone, because nothing ever leaves.

Information, people, relics, all things get lost in Aeturn. Hell, the whole sector is noticeably darker in neighbouring skies. What's more is that groups tend to freeze in place if they do not keep moving, finding reason to stay settled.

The Stryxis are savvy little merchants, knowing things they would rather not tell. They keep their void shields up at all times.

As for writing tips, your post reads like an excited child.

Exclamation marks, paradoxically, are rarely to be used for exclamation. Italics for emphasis, bold for things of importance, both for a statement that is the point of the post. Never hit capslock. Say more with less, and reread to make sure there are no run-on sentences.

So we have a Firstborn & prisoner Imperial Guard that hunt chaos fucking space marines while being unorthodox and borderline heretical around the Inquifuckingsition "and" an array of loyalist space marines. Meanwhile several renegades are about doing what'eves, some loyalists might be Alpha Legion, and there's fucking pre-heresy Thousand Sons cleaning house and setting up shop. All the while god damn unknown Xenos come out of the Halo Stars and start killing everything while Chaos is going about openly worshiping Khorne and Slaanesh with Squats who enslave people for sacrifices.

Necrons have started to wake up, which is just great, but luckily are infighting for the time being.

Second, the Voivode's Dragulmen might promote literacy and writing skill through their traditions. After all, you want everything to know just how you slew that fearsome Plague Ogryn whose purified skull makes your helmet so awesome, right?

Don't worry, I've been using one of them. Still naturally bunk at math. Numbers just numb me, especially when percentages are mentioned.

Still, I think I managed to create the new homeworld for the Sons of Kheti. I may have glossed over the terrain and armed forces portion a little, but I don't think I've gone too mad with them:

>fuck heug planet (310km), normal gravity

>almost entirely desert, 31-50 celsius

>+/- 20 in the summer/winter

>5% water (native, more shipped in and purified)

>60 hour days

>432 earth days a year, (172 local days per local year)

>mining main occupation

>ogliarchy/magocracy

>8 million lower-class, 7 million are mutants, Early Space tech level (heavily monitored)

>1 million humans deemed genetically fit, Mid Imperial tech level

>Large sprawling capital house the genetically fit

>Surface-to-orbit defense systems

>900 active Astarte (8 companies, 1st double strength)

>1000 Neophytes as active arbites

>1500 Astarte in stasis due to unfixable mutations

>120,000 Spireguard (40 regiments), half of which are light infantry/military police

>9 warships (2 purchased, 3 captured)

>2 cargoships (captured)

Still got a few things to do, improve this and that.

I take it you mean 'sector' instead of 'system'?

I do like the idea of crossbreeding mythologies here, which might result in some Minoan influence on C.Squat architecture and temple guards.

This is an unexpectedly elaborate prison for Khorne, if we go with it. So it's a massive Warp anomaly that's "solid" enough to not be storm? Perhaps crafted partly from the "stratum" matter of the Veil. This would be source of Hashut's shouting across the Warp, and the reason Conclave Aeterno thinks shutting him up will help neuter the Sector's pull. Hashut himself, I suspect, would like to grow powerful enough to carve out his own empire to rival and perhaps challenge Khorne. He is patient and practical enough to play the long game with the C. Squats and cults. Unfortunately for him and the Inquisition, Khorne knows Aetern's secrets better: Hashut has been trapped there too long, and even if his prison did fail one day, he would be unable to leave, his forces stalled at the borders. Shutting him up or quieting him won't disable the Pharos Aeterno Effect either. In fact, either outcome presents the risk of making the presence become more active (either quickly through the sheer cataclysmic energies released, or slowly through a "purifying" of the signal).

What could happen as a result of this is largely unknown, but almost certainly no faction present in the sector will benefit from it. If anyone present wants any hope of solving the Aetern enigma, they must find the true center of the region and plumb the depths of the Forever Pit, that which was old when Hashut's prison was new.

Yes, we'll develop this further. I loved the Tyrant Star and Haarlock background and sagas, but I've heard that lots of people wanted some form of fulfilling answers at the end of those puzzles. By contrast, Askellon's central mystery of the Pandaemonium is cool and classic in some ways (sins of the forefathers haunting the present and the nasty secrets of their descendants), but the answers seem a little too facile, and a little too obvious. So, we'll want to make this a satisfying one.

>>185648

Oh my. I didn't imagine my thuggish space Slavs/Magyars this way, but this is a splendid look at the officer designs, potentially. Still silly in some ways, but with a bit of hard edge now. Yes, this will do nicely for the upper officers and command.  Do you have any more, and sources?

>Meant the Stryxis don't let the void shield down but briefly. Like a sub on the surface keeping its hatches battened down for oncoming waves.

> for oncoming waves

There's something about that metaphor and phrasing that makes me smile. If you're in the Warp, you're battening down the hatches against waves of daemons and Chaos radiation. If you're battening them down even when conditions are "safe" in realspace, one wonders,  what the "waves" consist of…?

>The hobgoblins now have Scottish accents.

It took me a moment, but kekkity.

>I fucking love this iterative process we have going. Layers upon layers, spiraling out from a central point. An onion of lore.

A good setting's development is never ogre. Yes, I had to.

But more seriously, a Sector (like any other RPG setting) is like a palace: it starts from a key foundation stone, and grows into a grand edifice with all the strange quirks  that come from changes in development during the building.

Unfixable mutations from their tech level and resources and time. They maintain one day, if the mutations aren't bred out of the population, they will be able to cure themselves of it all.

That day seems far away, though.

The first one in stasis said basically "I'd rather perish than succumb further to these mutations and become a howling animal that endangers our people. Place me into stasis, wake me when you need me to die in their name." It kinda set a precedent amongst the mutated astarte and neophytes, so they're basically an ever growing slumbering corp of kamikazi marines.

Still working on that. It's not a very hospitable area, next to no vegetation and very little water, so there won't be much.

The Imperium, if anything, has regressed in technology from the great crusade, so the Pre-heresy thousand sons would be more advanced then most parts of the Imperium no?

They had to 'upgrade' to MK5 simply because it was cheaper to make and easier to maintain, with the aid of the Dark Mechanicus.

They arrive with just four ships, a few tens of thousands of crew men, and a few hundred astarte. They were not well equipped to found a settlement, or to keep up maintenance by themselves. They were part of a Expedition Fleet, and even then only a small section of that Expedition Fleet.

Their supply couldn't meet their demand when they arrived, so they were forced to scale back. Even now they're barely able to keep their astarte  and spireguard equipped (hence light infantry make up half the spireguard)

They did manage to keep their pre-Heresy ships up and running, and practically lived off them despite claiming a planet at the beginning. Those are their pre-heresy powerhouses that they've managed to keep running.

>Also with the Mutant lower class, how Mutant are we talking here? Full on Tzeentchi mutations or small things that kinda look weird but is fine for the most part?

Ranges. There's 8 million of them, some are light and superficial, some are heavy and abhorrent and often target practice. Tzeentch will inevitably corrupt a few, usually through a corrupted psyker or guardsmen. It's happened a few times, armies founded from the lower-class mutants to rebel.

Some of the mutants sold off to chaos renegades and warbands by the Sons of Kheti will survive long enough to make it back to Sycorax with dreams of raising and army of the dark gods with their fellow mutants. So, sporadically, tzeentch mutants do appear.

Not being deemed genetically fit is a tough, often brutal and short, life on Sycorax.

…Okay, I must be completely mad, but here we go.

Settled on a name here:

Carstein

>Hive World

> 47,000 km, after some trial, error, and Duck Dodgers-sized worlds. Reasonable size to support a few small hive-cities and thousands of villages.

> Gravity at Standard 1.1. No wonder the people here are STRONK.

> Marshes, mountains, and taiga, oh my!  Also, frozen lakes and oceans that only unfreeze in summer.

>25º tilt to axis, +/- 20 in the summer/winter, means mild to pleasant summers, blastingly bitter winters(I think). This sector being what it is, the winters are probably long enough to write whole novels.

> 13 hour days. 124 days in year. 38.1 regular days?  What the fuck. I may have to re-do this one later. It seems too fast paced for the Aetern.

>…43 satellites. D-does this include artificial, or just natural? Because dear Emperor that's a lot of orbiting bodies. It might even explain some of the PDF variance and why this place is so nutty.

> Atmosphere is Normal, surprisingly.  Maybe all these weird tides and intense weather keeps the hives' pollution from building up.

>Damp world, lots of snowfall and rain thanks to the aforementioned tidal forces. Plenty of dramatic lightning.  Already thinking at least one hive has harnessed the power of a permanent lightning storm.

>Usual conditions on this world are Frosty, though I've already decided that temperatures in the summer can reach an absolutely sweltering 55º Fahrenheit!

>87 million people? Did I do the math right on this one? Okay then. Maybe I should add a couple zeroes, that still feels small for a hive world…

>Hereditary Monarchy (Voivode)

>Adeptus Arbites: 8.

 Adeptus Astra Telepathica: 28. Whoa, nerve center STRONK.

Adeptus Astronimica: 3.

Adeptus Mechanicus: 6 (May have more on the moons).

Administratum: 28. Pencil-pushers STRONK.

 Adeptus Ministorum: 24.

Inquisition: 20.

As befitting a world on its way to becoming the new Sector Capital (which is also troubled by nuttiness in need of holy attention).

More information to follow, once I've wrapped my head around it.

This sector has Heretics, Renegades, Eldar, Unknown Xenos and two Necron Tomb worlds, there's a reason why there so many Inquisitorial people here.

87 million? That's all? Then again most people would me nomads and wouldn't live in the main Hive City.

The Mechanicus own some of the 43 satellites, of which at least two are moons.

By the emperor Carstien may be colder then Valhalla, we need it to be cold, our Guard are some of the toughest out there, they also like adding Wings to themselves to make them look good, and sound terrifying.

>Psykers

BLACK SHIPS EVERYWHERE. Also WARP TAINT EVERYWHERE.

Administatum would be here because its the Capital, also the Imperium would have a hard time keeping track of all the shit that goes down in Sector Aetern.

>NUNS WITH GUNS

They're crusading in the sector, makes sense they would make a base on the Capital of the Aetern Sector . We need them, without the SoB im sure every last guardsman would go insane, KEEP THE PINUPS COMING, OUR MORALE IS LOW!

>No Imperium police

Makes sense, were very far from any important worlds and are on the edge of the galaxy.

The SoB are fleet-based, even if most is cargohaulers converted into carriers, so if Carstein has a dock they can be a makeshift fleet until they can get their own.

>BLACK SHIPS EVERYWHERE. Also WARP TAINT EVERYWHERE.

Psyker's have always fled to remote locations to hide Imperial persecution and rounding up. Possible there's a lot of Psykers across the entire sector.

The satellites are obviously artificial. Running from that assumption:

 

Where do you think the naval affiliation comes from? A multitude of docks forming a web in the sky, a ring around the smaller moon. A relic from the golden age, built upon surviving archeotech from the age of strife. Long abandoned, with renewed interest in the sector a number of the cult mechanicus have come to repair and refurbish this expansive wonder.

Approximately 34 of the the stations are air tight, 29 have working life support, and 13 are cleared of the nasty things one expects in this grim, dark, void. Spider xenos. Needless to say every navy man is as tough as his planet side compatriot. They are experts at boarding before they ever leave the Web.

The other moon is host to a vast array of defensive installations, likely from the end of the golden age. Tactically this seems a bit silly, as an invading force can ignore it in favor of the Web. Some of the mechanicus have proposed linking the two moons, as geological scarring and metal deposits suggest they once were, but no means has been found to do so.

Enforcers: Yes / 16 (makes up for the lack of Arbites) / 8 (quantity of quality, though it stands to reason those in the Voivode's capital would be a better grade)

By the way, there's something I reasoned out on off-hours today: You can leave Aetern… but after five years, the Call becomes harder and harder to resist. At ten, impossible. They ==must== return to Aetern, and all efforts will be spent getting back to there. This is how the League of Black Ships can still make psyker collection, otherwise all of Aetern would sink into the Warp and the Forever Pit be saying >lol gOOd MORrnIng

The call, the call, it calls to me in the dark telling me to return back, softly whispering in my ear to come back, its voice that of a heavenly choir, and i shall resist it.

>Year three

It calls to me, sings in my ear tempting me to go back there, but i must endure for the Emperor. It sings and sings, and i cannot stop dreaming of it, it is beautiful, it is heaven, i want to return, but i give myself to the Emperor, and i must stay in the line of duty.

Oh it talks and talks. An endless Choir calling to me, they are everywhere, ever singing about coming back. They are as beautiful as a Sister of battle, and they call and call, and i must ignore them. They call to me all day, never stopping. I must ignore them, they tempt me into betraying the Emperor, and with his light i will endure.

>Year seven

They scream, begging me to come back, they need me. And i cannot sleep, they beg, crying and screaming for me. It pains me to betray them, they want me, always calling, always begging, and i must deny them. I will let them call and call, but with the Emperor i will continue my service.

>Year eight point five

They have stopped, and i am lonely. I want them back, i am sorry for betraying them. But they have left me, i suppose the Emperor is on my side. Was i right for staying with him? I must be, any other thought is heresy. Yet i want them back, and i am sorry. I am sorry for betraying them, but the Emperor will guide me.

>Year Ten

They have come back, and i must go. I am done with my service. They scream, scream and scream. They hate me, and they will force me to come home. I will give them what they want, as i am sorry. I should've left my service to the Emperor behind, he will always be with me, but they need me, and i want them, no, i need them!

Sectors on average tend to "encompass 7 million cubic light years." A subsector is comprised of "between 2 and 8 star systems within a 10 light year radius."

Their subsector has a strong Imperial presence, and they can probably project that power out to a dozen more subsectors, the rest of the sector though is a smorgasbord of Xeno empires and khornate armies. As strong as they are, they'd hardly dominate the entire sector.

Speaking of that damnable rock (which the Inquisition is in the process of emptying), methinks we need that planet rolled for too. The idea I have going is that it was the initial capital and happening place for settling and conquest of the Aeterno Expanse and Aetern Sector… until they found out about the effects of local-grown foodstuffs on humans and animals. By then, the place had already spread its nanotechnological plague across the Imperial worlds and some beyond (by varying degrees of how much they relied on it). Much purgation ensued (but of course could not get all of the contagion, nor prevent some of the genetic changes it wrought), and the former breadbox capital's name became a local by-word for poisoned gifts, situations too good to be true, and horror. Thus, all food and drink on and around that world is imported, increasingly many of the facilities in orbit, with the aim of snaring, conquering, and colonizing the Space Hulk (The Cornucopia of Certainty).  

The world itself needs two names, official and unofficial. …Oh of course. With Carstein over yonder and the possibility of actual Vampires, the only name I can give it is Demeter (Blightstone, unofficially).

 Carstein could have ended up like Calixis' Kulth and the Voivodes like the Severans, had this event not occurred: snubbed and kept from honors thought deserved.

A Gothic/Slavic-styled  capital city named Tepes where the Voivode's palace is really a fortified castle, blending the aesthetics of Neuschwanstein, Bran, and Castlevania! The Court of the Voivode, where nobles bicker and plot with administrators! An Inquisitorial super-bunker structured after the Nine Circles of Hell burrowing deep into Carstein's crust!

A thriving black market swarming with heavily shielded Stryxis merchant carts and spies of all sorts and levels of competence! A needle-like spire containing the main Adeptus Astra Telepathica offices, constructed of amplifying resonant crystals harvested from outside the Sector! The bizarrely echoey Tepes Underhive, where lost orders of blind monks who fervently worship Aetern itself war with brass-faced cultists, fanatical axe-throwers, and horrific things from times unknown! The grandest (legal) cathedral in all of Aetern, with its own intrigues and malignant secrets!

And all of that's just on the planet itself. That's not getting into the moons, planetoids, and Web.

So yes, plenty to do here.

So Carstein is the bastard child of Cadia and Valhalla?

Fifteen billion souls, that's….. much more then Cadia's 850 million, most of which are Imperial Guard…

15,000,000,000, of which 8 billion are nomads/pilgrims, 100 million are Imperial Forces. 4.5 billion are natural born Carsteiner's.

The last 2.5 billion dont stay for long, they go out into Aetern, some never to be seen again, they go out into the Darkness, and they will try and start a fire to shine it out.

Carsteins main export? Pilgrims move though the Sector, Imperial Guard forces that rival Cadians and elite drop troops that put Elysians to shame.

This is Carstein, a world that cannot be conquered, tainted or stomped out. It shines a light on the darkness that swarms the Aetern sector, and some will try and turn off the lights.

So, Carstein doesn't have so many permanent residents as it does on paper. Those nomadic types who sell their wares and deliver shipments or simply go with the rhythm of Aetern are simply registered as such for clerical reasons. Given the freezing conditions I can see it would take a multitude of agriworlds, all growing food mainly in the tropics, to fuel the cities.

The Astra Telepathica's tower, the Emperor's Reach, acts as a conduit for the souls that would otherwise be trapped, and a dowel around which the populace spirals. Once upon a time it was a space elevator that reached unto the moons.

Also agreed, no obvious heretics on a capital. Stryxis on planet is pushing it to the limits, perhaps they are allowed on the exact opposite side of the planet. A half submerged complex, the roofs being a multitude of landing pads for the orbital docks.

We need a rogue trader house too.

You know what, Hashut might not be the maker of the call. We know Tzeentch has a history of trapping/offing gods of order. Perhaps Solkan or Arianka's 40k analog are trapped down in the pit. Hashut is merely standing in the way with his fiery maw bellowing a dark undercurrent. Just some speculation.

>>186115

>Ehhh, why the hell would they put Heretics on the CAPITAL WORLD?

That's a good question, and I think I have answer to it: They're the remnants of the days when Khornates (among them Hashutites) ruled over Carstein, before Lord Marshal (Later King) Dragomir Valentin smashed them beyond hope of repair in the Veil Aeterno Crusade some four thousand or so years ago. They hid in the mountains and marshes, while others went underground or blended in with the rest of the liberated populace. Since then, the most they and their descendants ever managed were two nasty major rebellions, each resulting in more brutal and thorough scourge-and-purge actions than the last. These cultists are the sickly, resentful remnants OF remnants, clinging onto the half-forgotten brazen glories of their forefathers for dear life.  

Dragulmen and PDF tend to gun them down in gleefully sociopathic hunting parties which also have the function of snagging any criminal youths the Brassies haven't taken for impressment.  Some worlds try their best to ignore the rampant crime and gangers in the Hives. Carstein makes them into training exercises and recruitment.

Hmmm, you and >>186124

 do have a point though. Definitely no longer in Tepes basement, more likely to be found in the smaller cities (or perhaps on the moons/other planets in-system?). Nowadays, they are fodder.

As for the monks, they have enough presence of mind not to announce who they are. Expert blind fighters and stealthy movers, some of them are Nightsiders, others seem guided by what they say are the "Echoes of Eternity."

>>186124

Rogue Trader house?  Milescu, names after the Romanian Diplomat/Writer/Explorer and traveler. They are the Imperiums explorers in the Unknown, they go out and search for wealth, and they will find only Darkness in this corner of the galaxy. They also have the huge black market to deal with, you want Xeno/Heretic/Renegade weapons? You go to them.

The Emperor's Reach is the furthest, most outmost post the Astra Telepathica has. It trys to take those who run, who run from the inquisition, who run from the Black Ships.

Those who make it past the Tower are lost in the Warp. They are to never seen again, lost to the voices of the Aetern Sector.

The Emperors light shines low here, and we are left to our own.

As for this, what you say is true. However, going by their armed forces, I would say they have another few major exports: Weapons, munitions, and military vehicles. It's one of the best explanations I can think of for why they're so well-stocked.  Also, it would put millions to work on necessary and satisfying jobs (satisfaction in knowing that there shell you're screwing into place will blow to smithereens mutants like the one who ate your cousin Liviu; bit of factory culture is that they might use reports of unclassified [and selectively edited) battles against mutant and alien scum for motivation).

Every faction is like another gear in this very strange clock, slowly building upon itself, reaching further and further outward. The Chime, the Chorus, the Call, all playing to the rhythmic waves of Aetern.

Two things have put a wrench in the mechanism, but the stress upon them are great. The WAAAGH of tin boyz is like a bug in a very smooth mechanism, some of it is oiled by guts, other parts are clogged up with the little beasty's hard parts. The Emperor's Reach is like a golden monkey wrench jammed between two gears. This has meant an abundance of energy for one side and a drought for the other. If Carstein fell then the Sons of Kheti would reap the bounty of the whole sector. The pressure is mounting.

That, although an good song, doesn't show or explain why we must stop the clock from reaching midnight.

There's a big reason why the Inquisition is here, why the Eldar are here, why Chaos has an interest, why the Necrons have two tomb world here.

The clock has ticked, and it has waited, and it has listened. It has waited far longer then the Necrons have lived it has watched as the Old Ones raised far higher then the Eldar and fall just as fast. It has watched empire after empire fall. It has seen thousands of men die to the hands of abominations.  It has listened and watched, through life and death, and now it wants to speak.'

And so you two (if you aren't the same anon) give us a paradoxical sense of urgency in this cold, slow Aeternity. The real reason why the Inquisition and others want this clock stopped, and why they might begin to panic if Hashut is defeated.   The reason why the Thousand Sons, betrayed masters of warpcraft separate and purer from their modern Legion, were summoned here, across an impossible gulf of time.  Why it is that the timeless metal puppets of mad star gods awake and join the fray.

 The clock is bringing more pieces into motion, bringing in new gears where necessary, and shifting old, dormant ones where it can't. With Hashut's defeat, the rhythm grows louder. The hands move faster. Aetern's Time is coming sooner rather than later. Who knows if it will stay a clock then?

My apologies, I was caught up in the moment there. And yes, that is what they call themselves.

But you must admit, it's an incredible coincidence otherwise (even with the temporal weirdness of the Warp in mind) for some pre-Heresy Thousand Sons to wind up (no pun intended) here. And with the other anon in mind, so many are gathered in Aetern for a reason.

I'm the creator of the Sons of Kheti, can confirm it's a coincidence. They exit warp in Aetern, the wander for several sectors learning and investigating before heading there to avoid imperium entanglements while they regrouped and reestablished self-sustaining supplies.

>>186177

>It seems to me the Sons of Kheti are more in a Stargate Atlantis scenario, but definitely stranded.

They have a small fleet, but there's no point to leave and go fight them Imperium without solving their mutation problem or an established powerbase, and they're kinda weak on the army front.

>Prospero anon, how do they feel about and how much do they know, and whats more how much do they know?

They know Prospero burned, they blamed the Emperor and the Space Wolves for the attack for it, and Magnus the Red for crippling the planets defences before hand.

Over the years they've settled on Sycorax they've gotten information from the Dark Mechanicus, interrogated a tzeentchian cult leader from off-world here and there, scryed into the warp for questions and something answered them truthfully.

They didn't need much of a reason to hate Chaos as they consider it to be an abominable thing that causes mutation, but they've gleamed that Horus convinced Russ to massacre the planet. Still, they have no love for the Emperor for not holding Russ accountable and Russ for committing the atrocity.

Their leader, Sorcerer-King Kerakht Kheti, has sent Hidden Ones out amongst the galaxy to gather information. He himself disappeared for several years and returned with some ashes from Prospero.

By the way, it occurred to me that the nanotech virus might fit into the Sector thematically, if not a part of the clock. After all, they're little machines that can turn living organisms into more and bigger machines with the mental pattern twisted into set behavior.

Honestly I have no idea what went on in Calixis, only a passing knowledge of the Tyrant star, or many of the other places/things mentioned previously in the nanite discussion. Umbrella? Umbrella abominations? FFG? All Greek to me.

Despite having a full army of Kroot, Tau, chaos, daemons, marines, Deldar, Necrons, Tyranids, and god blessed Malal I do have not read a single warham novel. I've dabbled a little in much, but much in little. Fill me in on the wayward mysteries of the outer sectors and Halo stars.

>Demographics: Priesthood, Abhumans, Tribes-You know what, fuck it, most of the PDF are lower class, and the vast majority of them are taken from the militias (whether they want to or not, but surprisingly few have objections).

>Recruitment: Conscription.  They take from all classes and peoples, even the royalty. Of course, for nobles and royals, it's mostly volunteering and tradition. For the priests/monks/zealots, it is a holy obligation. For the rest, it's moving on up from podunk militia postings into "real" soldiering. Dragulmen will frequently mock them for this attitude, even fairly fresh ones.

>Specialized Lasgun Pattern, eh? Alright, let's call it the Belmond-Pattern, intended for use on snowy, icy, wet, and otherwise miserable conditions like those found across Carstein (and other places throughout Aetern Sector) in winter. They have a tendency to heat up fast, with a risk of overheating, but that just makes their wielder refer to them affectionately as "sidewarmers." They're kept cool by the low temperatures anyway.  As a result of this "feature", they fire at a higher intensity than the average lasgun, and in the cold can keep a decent rate of fire.

>muh creed is FOR THE EMPERORRR!  They're pretty gung ho about being a part of something truly bigger and greater than themselves. The priests can get them riled up and roaring with just a few words. Then the priests go roaring with them.

Umbrella Corporation are the main badduns of Resident Evil, infamous for their bioweapons work.

FFG are Fantasy Flight Gaming, the group responsible for Dark Heresy and company.

Funny you should call it all Greek, though…

From Disciples of the Dark Gods:

/// Komus—Analysis of reference and meaning Memorandum found among the effects of the late Victus Karon. ++ADM.2239 ///

My Lady,

The word “Komus” as a title or name has very few references within the literature that one would expect for a phrase used in the context of a blasphemous prophecy. “Komus” is a term utterly absent from all the restricted literature that relates to xenos and their history, artefacts, culture, or blasphemous religions. In similar analysis of daemonological and occult matters, it is also absent.

The only references that I could find are scattered across a number of pieces of archaic literature. In these works of our long dead ancestors, Komus (or variously Comus, Comos, Komos, Kamos etc.) has associations with revels in the dark, anarchy, and excess. Some references tell of masked gatherings and processions of those who lost their minds. Laughter, mockery, and the dissolution of order are also associations. Most worrying is a reference to a master of misrule, who abducts those who strayed, although whether this figure is Komus, its herald, or its adversary seem to vary from one line of text to another. It was indeed a very disturbing reading, and one that quite unnerved me.

The final reference I found is relatively recent (from the time of Lord Militant Angevin’s crusade) and very specific. It is a description by a long dead rogue trader of the Haarlock line, describing the sound made by the dust wind through the bones of dead cities in the Halo Stars.

Were I subject to superstitious fears, I might not sleep this night!

Until I have once more the pleasure of Service,

Victus Karon

A force that drops like several industrial sized anvils, that obliterates everything it can see, but is more or less stuck until the fly boys can drag them to the next ante-crater.

Malcador Defenders for drops into infantry, with Infernus being deployed on anti-cultist campaigns and general lower risk situations. Otherwise regular and Omega Macharius heavy tanks are dropped to deal with mechanized enemies.

A single Valdor is in service on Carstein itself, being part of the elite defense of the Emperor's Reach. The tower is damn important don'tcha know?

A pair of Colossus Bombards are used for the rare occurrence of siege, pulled by two dedicated Atlases apiece to keep up with the rest of the army. Usually used to make holes that the faster forces can breach.

>Drop Sentinel[edit]

>A.K.A the "Surprise Sentinel", drop sentinels are normal scout sentinels with Deep Strike and the option to take a Multi-Melta. They come with heavy bolter as default but if you don't take meltas then you are doing it wrong. Drop sentinels also get the Sky Talon as a dedicated transport. Take that and rocket pods for 80 points valkyrie that does not take force organization slot. In-game use drop sentinels to deep strike/grav chute behind enemy artillery/heavy vehicles and melt them from behind.

>Sentinel Powerlifter[edit]

>The 5th Edition ultimate troll machine. Take these things in squadron of 3 and throw them into TEQ/MEQ's for lols since they can tie them up for remainder of game, or buttrape said MEQ's with sentinel's powerclaw attacks that strike at S8 AP2 A2.

I'm picturing both of these as a regular part of the Dragulmen's vehicular forces. In fact, I'm imagining the DDST part of their regiments regularly strapping special-made grav-chutes to their IFVs and walkers.  On the rare occasions when the command squad comes down with them (Like Radusar, for instance), they will do so on Seraphim-style jump-packs combined with their wings. Just imagine that bearing down on you from the skies, the screech of wings and the roar of engines. I wonder if some worlds have thought that the Last Battle was at hand thanks to that sight.

>Merovech

Yeah, that sounds like it'd work. What I was picturing though was a sort of futuristic Kalashnikov, incredibly durable weapon with a high rate of fire (bury it in a marsh for 100 years and it'll still work when cleaned, that kind of durability).

>Bombard

That is a monster of a gun. Sounds about right for the use. One thing I will add, though, is that the Valdor is the PDF guardian the public is allowed to know about. The Inquisition has a trump card to deploy alongside its own troops: Khronos and Ananke, a Fellblade and a Falchion, ancient superheavy tanks which were lost here long ago and found fairly recently. Their crews are oathsworn to the Inquisitor Lord of Conclave Aeterno, and they are only scrambled in the direst of emergencies. They will protect the Emperor's Reach at all costs, and will not surrender to any figure lower than the Lord Inquisitor. This is a place of Sector-wide importance, and while the "Dowel Theory" is mainly linked with Radicals, the Inquisition is taking no chances.

Another piece from the same book, and what I thought of yesterday:

///Document desc.: Communique found in an autoscribe spindle in the quarters of Senior Astropath Temerisa, following her death. Never transmitted or copied prior to this report.///

///COMMUNIQUE BEGINS///

OH-141-4892-113D

SUBJECT: Notification of abnormalities in the proper recording and classification of messages between crusade forces. TO: Lord Militant Angevin. FROM: Senior Astropath Temerisa, attached to the 1st Battle Group.

My lord, though I would hesitate to bring matters of calibration and administration to your personal notice, I must bring to your attention certain anomalies that pertain to the operation of accurate communications, and perhaps a deal more besides.

The temporal fixing of our sendings, even across relatively short range, are subject to a non-standard error. Though the error is always small, it is noticeable. It is not consistent in magnitude and has eluded all efforts at compensation.

Such errors are sometimes present around localised warp anomalies or during times of tempestuousness in the immaterium, but we are not subject to such conditions now. Indeed, as predicted, the light of the Throne waxes strong here and our vessels make good and steady progress.

In short my lord, time slips here. In small amounts it is true, sometimes more, sometimes less, but slip it does.

I can divine no cause for this, but I have checked with my fellows on other ships and other fleets, and they experience it too. No cause can be found.

Although the error has limited implications for functional communications between the forces under your command, such matters bear consideration by your lordship as they might be linked to matters best dealt with by higher authorities. I am minded, if you will forgive me to mention it, to recall the treatise first penned by the Great Voyager himself, the Rogue Trader Solomon Haarlock, who first marked the boundaries of this place a thousand and more years ago and dubbed it by the name of the Calix Expanse. He called it so for he claimed it to be “a chalice of ancient and slumbering wickedness,” and I cannot help but believe that he understood matters aright.

///COMMUNIQUE ENDS///

Your most humble servant, Temerisa, Astropath Ultra

///A final note was also found on the same parchment roll as the above text. It read: “Sometimes I think I can hear it. Sometimes I think it is like a pulse.”///

“Entry: ‘Obscuro’—The nature of the threat is either unknown, resists analysis, is deliberately hidden, or falls outside the normal categories of danger. This threat classification is also in rare circumstances applied to forbidden dangers of mankind’s own forgotten antiquity.”

Recollections of the Persecution of Lucius Carden

Honoured Whitlock,

It has been over three decades since, as the apprentice of the late Inquisitor Xerxes, I was involved in the disastrous prosecution of the heretic abomination Lucius Carden. Given that you have clearly found the details held in official record inadequate, I fear my recollections will not be as precise or as complete as you may require. Unfortunately the only other survivor was my then fellow apprentice Augustine DuNoir, and since her reputed fall from grace and disappearance in the Mandragora Sector, I fear she is now beyond us both.

To the matter, then. Lucius Carden was the master of a chartered far-trader, the now infamous Dream Walker. At the time when I and my fellow acolytes became involved in the case, it had become clear that Carden was acting as the front man for a coterie of archeaopirates who plundered unclean things from dead worlds to the northern rim of Calixis. They then sold their ill-gotten relics through his trade contacts in the sector core.

As we suspected him a simple criminal and a direct connection to what we assumed to be a wider and more dangerous organisation, we decided to effect an aggressive boarding of the Dream Walker while it was re-supplying at the Fenksworld orbital dock and seize it for our own use. We hoped to take Carden alive, or at least capture a trusted member of his crew to extract information from.

By Xerxes’ order I was charged with command under Carta authority, and four squads of Battlefleet armsmen were requisitioned for support. With us were seven other acolytes of my master. All were trusted, experienced, and most capable. We thought ourselves well prepared and that we had the situation’s measure. On all counts we were unreservedly and emphatically wrong.

Effecting simultaneous assault via the port’s docking tunnel and an explosive breach in the ship’s maintenance bay by our guncutter, we made quick progress past the gaudy areas of the ship and penetrated the outer holds and crew spaces completely unopposed. Disturbing as this was, we took advantage and pressed deeper. It was not until we entered the main cargo areas that we realised that Carden was far more than a dealer in proscribed artefacts.

The inner holds were filled with row upon row of sealed armour-glass cylinders filled with human remains. I recall there was no reek of decay, the air was chill with a trace of flower blossom as if the master of this abomination did not care for the smell of rot. We ordered the vile holds guarded for later examination—though I was sore tempted to order them put to flame without delay.

We proceeded though the rest of the Dream Walker, meeting no one but servitors that performed the functions of a crew. So it was until we reached the grand staterooms that barred the ascent to the command deck. Here we found Carden and the few living occupants of that damned vessel. Arrayed in finery, they sat around a great stately table before empty plates. Many of the diners had the manner of cattle stupid with fear, others looked at us with what I recognised as true madness.

None moved when we declared our authority and fanned out into the stateroom. At the head of the grand table Carden waited, every inch the noble captain, smiling as if we were expected guests. I was struck in that moment that we were in his trap rather than he in ours, that he had simply waited for his prey—his dinner—to come to him.

I remember what transpired then with total clarity, and I suppose I shall take those moments to my grave. Carden stood up and bade us welcome to his feast. His smile widened to an extent no human face should allow, and his disguise cracked, revealing his true face. His bones hardened and distorted, and the flesh that stretched over them took on the colour and pattern of wyrmling larvae. I shot him and continued to do so until my weapon was spent and he laughed! He came at us faster than the eye could see. Las fire, stubber shots, even bolt rounds, nothing slowed him. He even let himself be run through with blades so that he could get close enough to tear apart his attackers with his bare hands. In the pandemonium that followed, we had a dozen dead in as many seconds.

To remain would have been suicide, and I signalled an emergency retreat. Augustine, myself, and a handful of others fled the stateroom. We only had such time as it took Carden to slake his hunger on those that he had killed before he pursued us, hunting us down with inhuman speed and very human delight. Only Augustine and I made it to the boarding tunnel alive, and both of us injured.

I can still see him standing there as I looked through the blast door’s viewport, the long iron-grey bulk of the Dream Walker tearing away from its moorings and its terrible master braced on the edge of its unsealed dock, laughing in the hard cold of the void. The rest is in the report. Despite heavy damage, the Dream Walker escaped, and in the decades since, it has gained a reputation as a haunted, damned ship. Of its master, I know not.

Old friend, I hope that these recollections are of use in what I can only presume is the pursuit of a similar quarry or the beast himself, and know that me and mine are at your disposal should you need us. Regardless, I would leave you with this one piece of considered council: though the ways of our most puritan brethren are not yours, if you should even suspect the presence of such an abomination, heed their methods and obliterate the location completely and totally. Leave nothing to chance.

Sinophia Magna, Third Day, Eve of the Emperor's Ascension M41

Our negotiations go well, though I am anxious about the credit that my master is proposing to offer to these Sinophians. Their wealth is rotting out from beneath them and I doubt that they will be able to fulfil our terms for long. The weather is appalling and the locals worse.

Sinophia Magna, Fourth Day, Feast of Emperor's Ascension M41

In deference to the God Emperor, who watches over all, we conduct no business today. My master and I attended service at the cathedral in the morning. The cathedral is most peculiar. I like this place less and less. Though it is ridiculous, I feel I must report that during worship I found myself at one point staring at the glass of the stained windows. I could have sworn for a moment that I saw a dark orb, haloed with light, rise behind the glass. I blinked and it was gone. I did not mention it to my master. Maybe the damp in this place is breeding a fever in me.

Sinophia Magna, Fifth Day

Our business is not going well. At the negotiations this morning there was almost violence. A disagreement flared up so quickly that I am at a loss to recall what the point of contention was. Bloodshed was averted but our business is now voided. Our transit back to Scintilla is not due for five more days and I doubt we can travel earlier from this forsaken place. I am sure I have a rising fever. The light seems dimmer.

Sinophia Magna, Sixth Day

We were woken early in the twilight hours. There is trouble in the streets and we have had to confine ourselves to the manse. I heard shots fired several times throughout the day. I have developed a rash on my arm. My master seems tense. So am I.

Sinophia Magna, Seventh Day

The clouds cleared in the night though I wish they had not. I could not sleep and my fever rose in intensity. In the starlight, the city looked like the flesh of a rotting corpse. The fires from the riots still burned and I was sure I saw pale figures in the shadows on the street. The rash on my arm has spread; I think it looks like the claw marks of a bird.

Sinophia Magna, Eighth Day

When I woke, it was still dark. I thought that I was passing into a deep fever. People were in the streets. It was dark but people moved around as if conducting the normal business of the day. I went out and stopped a woman to ask why people were going about their business at night. She answered me but I did not hear what she said. She had the mark on her face, like a bird's claw mark pushed into soft clay. I awoke face down in the street. The city still burns.

Sinophia Magna, Ninth Day

The enforcers have declared a curfew and forbidden all travel. I hope my master can find a way of persuading them to let us leave. I did not sleep last night. When I close my eyes I see dead eyes looking back at me.

Sinophia Magna, Tenth Day

I must record what is happening. I was awake in the half-light of the morn and watched the sun rise. It rose, Emperor save me, but it rose black. At the moment of its rising, the city screamed. Things roam the streets and I see the claw mark on them all. They are changing. I do not know what they are becoming. I saw my master, his skin pale and stretching, eat the corpse of a servant. I have barred the door. The house is burning. I seal this record and someone must find it, someone must know. I dared to look in the mirror. I have the mark on my skin and I am not sure that it was my reflection looking back at me.

>Friends with the Ecclesiarchy, you say? Great Scott! Similar benefits to those found with the PDF, except that the clergymen have an even greater presence in the Militia's daily lives, and help keep the villages sane and stable.

>They certainly don't like Orkz, but it's been such a long time since the last infestation of ferals… no, who they hate are witches, mutants, and virals. They're the monsters who the Militia have to deal with, and moreover are the fiends who have carried off so many of their families over the years. Entire villages have been turned into snarling monstrous paranoiacs, familiar faces warping into rotting abominations before they must be put to the flame. Their hatred and zeal to destroy these monsters combined with their numbers is part of why they can usually handle that task. It's only when they mess up or are overwhelmed that the PDF are called in.

This is also why they are always amicable to anyone from the Black Fleets, as they take witches of all ages off their hands.

And that's the Carstein Militias. They really don't have a uniform, and can look like anything from peasants with pikes to medieval soldiers, to goons aping the Dragulmen in poor-fitting and often mismatched fatigues.

By the way, I picture some of the later-stage virals (technically they're mutants, so this isn't a sure thing) looking and behaving like these guys: http://girlgenius.wikia.com/wiki/File:Bridgemonsters.png Pale, hideous things which tend to blend in with the snow.

Taking a break on Sons of Kheti for a bit, currently making Anglo-Zulu War/Boer War IN SPAAAACE. The SPAAAACE Zulus are primitive Khorne cultists, although some untainted are aligned with the Lionan forces (basically Natal Native Regiments IN SPAAAACE).

Liona Prime: 249,000km planet. 24 hour days, 396 days in a year. Average temperature is 30, with 10/-10 difference in the summer/winter. Mostly savannah, large deserts, rocky plateaus, several oceans.

Developing world, 27 million population. Hereditary Monarchy (Queen Katherine Clara Augusta, aka The Great Queen, Great Queen Augusta, or Great Augusta.). Advanced Space tech level (they're renowned high quality and sturdy Laslock weaponry/cannons, and a variety of good quality mortar weapons of many calibers. They have a unique Sentinel pattern, an open topped (cloth covering) sentinel with an lascannon main weapon and an automortar side weapon)

There are four other planets in their system that I've yet to write up

Massive Standing Army. High Quality

Huge Enforcers. Medium

Large Militia. Low/Medium

Medium Armoured Forces. Medium

Large Private Armies. High Quality

This manifests itself in several ways. The standing army and armoured forces are spread out across the 5 planets of the Liona System. Their goal is to protect the civilian settlements and their denizens, as well as tithe producing and state equipment producing facilities, factories, farms and mines. They have redcoat dress uniforms, in the field they wear khaki.

The private forces are charter companies. They're your East India Companies and French Foreign Legions IN SPAAACE, both protecting citizens (as is their moral imperative) and protecting private industrial set-ups. Their uniforms a variety of dull colours, like grey, browns and/or darkish beige.

The Milita are former military (mostly) farmers and settlers that have come into conflict with the Monarchy and her parliament over land rights, the carter companies actions, and appropriation of land for tithes. Civilian garb, earthy tones.

The Enforcers are Victoria bobbies IN SPAAAACE. Not too much to say about them. Police are police. They maintain a large presence in every settlement. Blue uniforms.

Arbites, 3 - N/A

Telepathica, 4 - Token

Mechanicus, 10 - Small

Administratum, 2 - N/A

Ministorum, 8 - Slight

Inquisition, 5 - Token

Munitorum, 9 - Slight

They don't have much of an Imperial presence. Their large standing military forces and capability coupled with the remoteness of the sector means they're heavily self-sufficient. They have an Office of Inquisitorial Inquest and Office of Imperial Interest (collectively all the above factions, sans Inquisition and Mechanicus) that are understaffed, but staffed nonetheless. The Mechanicus maintain a small group to bless the factories and are usually found in the Guild of Mechanical Mastercraftery produce fine-tuned versions of local goods, usually weapons and officers sabres/lances, but additional many things for the nobility.

Alrighty, I can get the genetically, but the spiritually… no, no, don't spoil it.  That's really all I need to know.

Yeeess, a plague with those symptoms works quite well in a setting like this. That's why Nurglite cults aren't a strong force in this Sector. Every time they try to make use of this insidious disease, it powers right through the Warp corruption and destroys the cultists' souls along with their bodies. The Logician-Hereteks of Calixis wish they could concoct something this nasty.

>I've been thinking of the thing being some sort of nanite-virus. It spreads as an organic vector, and it slowly reprograms those infected into coming to the planet and staying there. The thing then slowly kills its host, using its body to produce more of itself. And because the damn thing has had countless hosts over the years, it slowly starts mutating the bodies of those infected - which explains how the fuck the half-Eldar might be a thing, or why the Beastmen are suddenly around. Sometimes the nanites gather in one place and just spew out some biological horror (which, when you kill it, just infects more people).

>It could be a remnant of some Dark Age of Technology thing used to terraform worlds gone Chaotic. Or it might be a C'tan.

Perhaps it was a hasty attempt both to counter Warp taint on planets while also taking care of the Psyker Problem. It succeeded. But the side-effects were so undesirable that the batch was abandoned on Demeter. Then the scientific team got eaten by daemons before they could work out the kinks in the design (or were they?). For thousands of years, the nanites staid there and worked into the native ecosystem, the human population eventually burning out (and being recycled). Then the Imperium came.

Thus, spread across so many worlds which weren't Demeter, the nanite-virus began to go through a series of glitches and breakdowns which caused it to often go outside original parameters, or stop just short of them. This is how we have multiple "strains" of the virus, and a situation in some ways like the world of Generator Rex, with nanites sometimes infesting whole planets and ecosystems, while in others only affecting the outliers and improperly shielded. This also explains the strange effects it has on nonhuman sapient species, and why the Tyranid Hive-Mind has little to no power here.

How's that sound so far?

Mmh, so we do. But what if we were to make these guys more distinct from them?

>>186566

I like the planet-roll so far. I have this feeling that they're closer to Sycorax than Carstein, though.

Clock-Anon, are you about? I had a thought about the nanite-plague eliminating Nurglites before they can get big. We know the guys are rough on any neighborhood they're in, decaying the very fabric of reality whenever they really get going. Thus, despite the seeming compatibility with themes of eternity, inevitability, acceptance of lot, and time, they are not things which the clock would want in it. They rust the gears, rot the wood, and outright halt movement. Therefore, the nanites may have become something like an auto-repair function, refining the parts as they are pared down and/or sharpened, wiping away corrosive Nurglite grime.

In a way, this sluggish and cold Sector rejects Nurgle at a basic level, as it rejects entropy and decay through constant, self-sustaining movement and balance. Aeternity is without end, after all.

It also rejects Tzeentch in a way, because while change occurs, new things happen, and there is fated patterns for things, the Sector generates its own status quo. Drastic changes, should they ever happen, s1111oon knuckle under to the rhythms of Aetern.

The reality of Aetern is that it is truly beholden only to itself.

No. Keep in mind that these forces are spread all throughout the entire system (5 planets, still working on the other four).

>Autarch Lugh-hann favors combinations of Stealth and Precision Strikes, seeing as the Eldar are here to watch and carefully balance Aetern, and try not to draw attention to themselves. This is hindered somewhat by the flow of migrants into the Sector, and unforeseen (frankly galling) pitfalls such as Eldar settling into more isolated human communities and sometimes mating (the Autarch is reported to have stared into space in disgusted shock and incredulity upon hearing of the result of these unions).

>For primary units, the Craftworld prefers to send various flavors of Ghost Warriors (Wraith Constructs) into the Aetern Sector, but usually surrounded by numerous Rangers. The former is thanks to the Aeterno rhythms having a lesser effect on the bodiless entities, the latter is halfway between stealth operations and keeping them out of Arhanrhod's frazzled hair.

>DIRE AVENGERS, HOOOO!

>Their Hero is a Warlock by the name of Sian, father of the current Autarch. It was he who led the first forays by the Craftworld into Aetern, and he who was responsible for re-establishing contact with the Eldar worlds within. Strangely enough, some of the outer Imperial worlds of Aetern also unknowingly call him a folk hero, as it was he who saved them from the sudden infestations of nanite-plague monsters (For which he is fondly known as The Reluctant Wizard/Lamenting Vagabond/other titles, depending on the world, remembered as a warrior-wizard or trickster who burned through seething abominations all while loudly cursing at having to help the locals against their own stupidity and against his own better judgement). He was last seen plunging into the Forever Pit with his ship, grappling with a Keeper of Secrets as it forced its way onto the bridge. Sometimes, the Seers and Dreamers of Arhanrhod can hear his voice inbetween the bellows of Hashut and over the Call'' of Aetern, either offering warnings, exhortations to take care, or (recently, with great consternation) admonishing his son for letting in the Orkz.

>Speaking of the Greenskins, Orkz are who Arhanrhod are manipulating these days, with the aim of keeping the various factions occupied with yet another concern. This focused the Imperials beautifully. However, the actions of the Tinboyz splinter WAAAGH! in the Sothoth Sub-Sector have raised worries that the Eldar may wake several powerful forces which they are not ready for (of which the infighting Necrons are but two). Otherwise, they are content to use any of younger races as needed to maintain stability.

>They are wary of both the Traitor Marines and the Sons of Kheti, not quite hating them but fearful of what their ambitions could cause. Their hatred is reserved for Hashut and the Chaos Squats, for devouring a part of Khaine so long ago. Since he is necessary for the status quo, though, their conflict is more cold and passive aggressive.

Because they don't know his part in things either? Methinks all that needs doing here is changing the reasons for their hate, like the fact that his Warp presence reeks of Slaanesh as well as Khorne, and because he is a giant brass cuckoo in this clock, his harsh and Chaotic bellows a regular presence in their scrying.

>rhythm

That was a little dopier of me, though. The fact that Aetern calls across dreams and the Warp should have kept me out of that pitfall.  The nanites are probably confused and enraged by this wraithbone nonsense.

 >>185097

By the by, since the Eldar keep all webway traffic through Aetern monitored and screened, Craftworld Arhanrhod has the taken the unenviable position of pointy-eared Ellis/Angel Island. Thousands upon thousands (if not millions) of mercenaries, pirates, exodites, and wanderers come through their home every day, and there are times when the Craftworld can feel quite crowded. The few Inquisitors aware of their situation derive much schadenfreude from it, whenever they aren't haranguing them for letting a maniac slip past (to the Eldar's credit, they do try to let in as few Dark Eldar as possible, as those are difficult to control on top of being a nasty bunch of relics).

They have to have a back door, come on ship, or not at all. You know they want the nanites. Letting through ex-pirates is pushing it.

This is a very strange sector. The forces of order are actually ok, if not outright thriving. Though I like the idea of Hashut being a cuckoo. Every ten thousand years he- YES

Every ten thousand years precisely his influence expands well past the core worlds for a century. Every thousand years it is merely a year, then two, then three, so on.

Honestly, I rather dislike the idea of the Craftworld Eldar being fine with the Darks. They're an unpleasant reminder of the behavior that landed them in this position to begin with.

I would also surmise that the Eldar use their fleet as a sort of coast guard around the Veil and other Sector outskirts the Imperium can't easily cover. Some particularly clever Kabal could sneak in, though…

>Hashut the Thousand-year Cuckoo-Bull

You cheeky bastard, I see where you're going with this: His biggest expansion comes right around the time of the 13th Black Crusade, doesn't it?  This means that right around when the rest of the Imperium is going through Hell, the Forces of Chaos in and around Aetern are rallying like an astronomical-scale redshifted version of Night On Bald Mountain. His servants' forges belch forth terrible weapons and brutish armor for the swarm to partake in, readying themselves for battle. Hashut then launches his own Brass Crusade into Imperial territory, aimed directly for its heart in Carstein. He howls with triumphant laughter, certain that his Time is now, and that he might soon be free… but in all likelihood, it could well be time for something else.

The hands are approaching midnight, but Hashut neither knows nor cares about that. A century of carnage and debauchery awaits!

>>186791 (You)

Nice writing, but i would think that the Craftworld knows about the clock, and they're scared. They must stop it, at any cost, but they dont know how. They see the clock is going to hit midnight soon, and they do not understand how to stop it.

But, what of the Eldar that flock to the sector because of the call? Eldar are much more sensitive as psykers, so they'd flock to Aetern even more then the imperials. There'd be even more on the Inquisitions with just how many Eldar run to the sector, this would make some imperial worlds be… a whole lot more Unorthodox as Eldar they to "blend" in.

That's the Dark Eldar for you. What they are interested in are the various devices of death and misery found in Aetern, in addition to the critters here for their games.

As for the Craftworld why did I almost say Crateworld, of course they're aware of the clock. It's why they keep trying to figure out how it works by looking in through fate and dreams. They're searching for the figurative mainspring of this clock, and gradually filling with panicked despair because they can't find it Not sure if Eldar have clocks, so that might not help. The answer is probably right under their nose, and Sian is sounding more agitated with each passing year.

One (somewhat vain) hope with the Orkz is that even though they've helped speed the awakening of the Necrons (and other things), they might break something important by accident.

As for the flocks of Eldar coming to Imperial worlds, there's a funny thing about that. The Craftworlders have mixed emotions on the subject: On one hand, these are their kin, and they value any one of their kin more than thousands of brutish mon'keigh. On the other, these settlers are outcasts, and more to the point, are living alongside and rutting with creatures barely above animals (all the gags about Welshmen/Kiwis/etc and their sheep go here). Also, they don't want squatters on their Craftworld any longer than necessary. So they are less likely to outright sacrifice Imperial worlds with Eldar presence, but are also unlikely to pick them up and away in the event of invasion.

On the Imperial worlds themselves and orthodoxy… Hnn. They might get the best shake over in the Bram Highlands Sub-sector, where Sian the Reluctant Saint worked his fiery magic and taught the locals how to kill the nanite-monsters (by incineration, and knowing the crackle of the exploding machines as the final death-knell).  In order to reduce panic (and make their jobs easier), the Inquisition might distribute material stating that these visitors are more abhumans made more frequent by the nanite-strains. While this reduces the xenophobic fury somewhat, these Eldar are still subject to civilian (and militia) pogrom if they're too open with their power, and official persecution if they do something stupid like mind-controlling a village.  Essentially, "don't make a big noise, don't act like you own the place, and we'll leave you alone" along with a heaping helping of "don't make me come over there."  They are subject to PDF and militia conscription, just like any Abhuman.

So one subsector has an imperial buildup reminiscent of a mounting crusade, another has a burgeoning Eldar halfway house/hostel, and inbetween is a governmentless expanse that collapses upon itself every time the population gets too high. Half exodite, half feral agriworlds that see their patrons once in a lifetime if they're lucky.

Good. That said, remember that this Sector is on the verge of the Veiled Regions in the Segmentum Tempestus, and so has both warp storms and strange thick clouds of particulate (the latter in thickest concentrations around the far edges of Aetern, further away from Carstein, and farthest away from Demeter/Blightstone).>>185020

>>185016 (You)

 At the Sector's center (or near-center) should be the Brass Labyrinth and Black Gates, the prison-realm of Hashut, the Chaos Squats, and several Chaos warbands. Below and surrounding this, like an orange-white pond surrounding a (carefully-balanced) great brassy rock, is the Forever Pit. Further out, somewhere between the clouds and the Labyrinth, is the oddly weedy area of space home to Sycorax (and the Sons of Kheti). Beyond them, amongst the clouds, is Craftworld Arhanrhod, circling the fringes.

As for the Sothoth Deeps Sub-sector (tentative name for the land of Forges, asteroids, Orkz, and Necrons/C'tan), I'm thinking somewhere to the Trailing of Carstein. Coreward is "north" now, I think.

Other suggestions or contentions?

I'm thinking a White Scars chapter would be a nice fit, the idea of constant movement already infused in their battle tactics. Plus who doesn't like a legion that employs honest to emperor camouflage? Their lack of heavy equipment but fast ground attack would complement the Carstein forces.

I'm thinking we could do with a couple chapters of Endemics… Now that's an idea, make at least one of them White Scars-based. I can see it now, them riding joyously alongside Carstein's Motorized Hussars, whooping and bellowing like blood-crazed ghosts.

One of the others available is the Exorcists Chapter, aka the anti-daemon forces (whose training involves outwilling the monsters trying to possess them; metal as fuck, and makes them hard as nails even by Marine standards).

Aetern sector.

Capital is run by space Hussars with borderline cultist-looking infantry and really fookin big tanks. Shock and awe as they drop from orbit onto the enemy.

In the boonies is space Egyptian thousand sons. A force that was out on a mission when prospero fell. They hate chaos and the imperium.

There is a binary star system with a pulsar blasting away: two tomb worlds, an archeotech world, a mystery dyson sphere, a scared shitless forgeworld, and an orc scrapyard pumping out tinboyz like crazy.

Zoats and Ymgarl keeping each other company in a shadowy sector, zoats pretending to not be tyranids.

Eldar craftworld trying to deal with immigrants like you wouldn't believe, wraith heavy.

Slaaneshi and Khornate cults and warbands chase each other around in circles towards the core

There is a poor region where the eldar immigrants and native humans have to deal with darkage nanites turning them into abominations, minimal presence from any faction. Nanites are inherently anti-nurgle

And in the center of this maze are fucking chaos Squats, worshipping hashut. He is like a more successful Skarbrand in that he got away more or less unscathed. Possibly ate a Keeper of Secrets and an avatar of Khaine. Possibly.

The whole sector goes to the rhythm of a grand celestial clock, winding and ticking and tocking. Hashut is like the fugly cuckoo that pops out every 10k years. Something warpy yet not daemonic calls beings to the sector, causes it to be colder, dimmer, and puts things into a specific order and rhythm. It seems the imperial forces are slightly immune, and the orkz are entirely immune. It may be Hashut, it may be Arianka, it may be an Eldar god, it may be an Slaan device from the war in heaven.

Spess Hussars are the aristocracy and officer corps (from Carstein, the Sector Capital), the Voivode's Dragulmen by and large are a blend of WWII-era Hungarian and Romanian with Vlad Tepes-era Wallachians (which is why they have all those impaled skulls and skeletons everywhere). They're regiments of fast-attack and drop-shock troops, trained to butcher urban foes and insurgents with sociopathic gusto. Carstein's PDF are the tanky, motorized, shock-and-awe guys, and they're a weird blend of Romanian flamboyance with Imperial Guard efficiency and tech.  The Militias are all over the place, time period-wise, but can roughly be compared to Kislev (with much more blessings and holy items).

As for the nanites, they've spread throughout the Sector (in various strains of glitched out virus), though they're probably worst in Bram Highlands Sub-sector, like you've mentioned.

This means that you can have thunderstorms happening at ground level in the clouds of snow-melt steam. Rainwater collected from these storms tends to be mineral-rich and drinkable. …Hah, tropical rainforests fed by excellent exposure to sunlight, snowmelt, and geothermics. Many lifeforms are unique to these peculiar ecosystems, be they flora, fauna, and fungi.

The head one/three in the pulsar system is/are, in a way, but the way I set it up its the combination of three (or more) under an absentee's rule. Lots of room for splinter factions breaking free and vying for power.

Question.

Why are we using the Skulltakers, by far the weakest known World Eater warband who got decimated by [fags with flamers]? Shouldn't we take one of the less elaborated-on Khornate warbands like Angron's Chosen, Lord Skchalick's Elite or the Skull Takers of Hans Kho'ren?

Dunno, I agree the more obscure the better. If 40k lore is only to be pressed forward by "us" then adherence what is written is best. That's why I object to a Grey Knight successor being shoehorned in.

I figure Angron's Chosen would be good candidates. Their only mention in the fluff is them being listed as one of the warbands that participated in the First War for Armaggedon. They'd fit well for a small warband of elite veterans that is looking for strong warriors to replenish their ranks after the Armaggedon campaign.

Their name also has a nice ring to it.

 Okay. Where to begin? Three planets, three kings, three melodies. The beginning is simple, the three little kingdoms competed in their arts. Then one day a big bad C'tan of the hedonistic persuasion rolled by. "Give me your soul and I'll give you an eternity to play". One went wholeheartedly, one went with hesitation, the last went later with deceit in his heart. "Give me your future that I may perfect it". One sent his people with hesitation, one sent his people with anger, the last went later with deceit in his heart. "Give me your sun that I may smite my enemies". One provided the material in sorrow, one built the apparatus with deceit in his heart, the last gave the god their sun.

 The exalted one, the one that first bowed before the god, found his tomb sink beneath boiling ground. For his people to survive they would need to weather the lifespan of the twin suns in the sky. The reluctant one found need to shield his world, continually scoured and burned by the pulse of the new star. He would rise when the raging star weakened. The deceitful one played his tunes to the stars, a thousand-thousand years to perfect every note. The deceitful one never took the long sleep.

And this was the song I was trying to find earlier, but gave up and linked another.

>The sisters of her order are eerily unconcerned with her disappearance, almost as if they know she will return

>They enforce the laws of the Cardinal without question, but have absolute authority over the only progenum in the sector

So basically they're an order of sisters based on secret societies and shadowy cults, with an obsession with secrecy, the color black, the shadows, and tyranids for some reason

Oh, my dear Anon, you wrote that background with the intent of blending fairy tale and creation myth, didn't you?

So, the wholehearted but sorrowful King is he who sleeps still (and may yet be either a menace or a kindness), the angry King is awakening but mad, and the deceitful King is he who has drunk deep of Aeternity and enjoyed his draught. The King in Yellow is the happiest one. I presume it was also he who sheltered the largest fragment of his god when the end came?

Focused, yes. However, minor Nurglite and Tzeentch groups are alright.

If the former are smart enough and careful enough to avoid the nanite-plague (be it abstention from use or avoidance of infection), they could be hard to dislodge and a real threat.

That's just the thing. No one's doing anything really Chaos-y to show the focus. What's the point of having a focus if no one's doing either Khorne or Slannesh?

I feel if there is to be a dominant chaos god(s) then it needs to come naturally from the creations of the sector, not just stated and followed by expected compliance.

>avoid the nanite-plague

Going on record to say I really don't like the inclusion of this nanite-virus thing. If there was some kind of bullshit factor limiting its reach to just a few systems I wouldn't mind it, but if it can spread across the sector and has a hate boner for nurgle then you've made it something that imposes itself a little too much on nurglite stuff creators stories for my likes.

Look, the nanites cause trouble for Nurglites because they were an anti-Warp taint device gone wrong, and the Nurglites are sorely tempted to use such a nasty virus. Result: many dead Nurglites. Then there's the whole thing of the Sector's grand clock working against entropy. It's going to be an tough battle for Nurgle here, because things don't go uphill and downhill, they go in circles.

But all this said, go ahead and make a group. We could use more Chaos here.

And you've just decided what nurgle is for everyone else. This is suppose to be a sector for 8chan's /tg/, but you're making things that affect and limit a whole faction severely, just because you like that idea, and that's hardly fair to force onto everyone else. You don't see anyone else introducing things that fuck over whole factions.

>We could use more Chaos here.

Fine, I'll make a chaos group. They're a nurgle faction. They're called the Pus McGuffins. And they have an artifact that makes nanites unable to exist in the entire sector. Oh no, look at that, your nanites can't exist anymore. Shame. I won't undo it though. Why?

Because I like selfishly imposing constrictions onto other people like that in favour of my own OC donut steel.

"Halo Devices are so named because they come from worlds within the volume of space known as the Halo Stars—a dangerous and ill-omened region that is bordered by several barbarous voids of space as well as a number of Imperial sectors including Scarus and Calixis. The worlds from which Halo Devices come are truly ancient and utterly lifeless, orbiting dead stars which must have burned their brightest many thousands of millennia ago. That such worlds once were part of some antediluvian and now long dead civilisation is a fact generally agreed upon by xeno-arcanists and Rogue Traders, but just what the creatures from this civilisation were or how they passed into extinction is a question that has never been answered.

All that may be surmised about these creatures comes from the one legacy they left behind—the artefacts referred to as Halo Devices. From these, it can be surmised that the makers of the Halo Devices had highly developed technology and a great understanding of physical matter and biological processes far in advance of perhaps any other known race or science. Whether the effects of these devices on human tissue is deliberate or not is unclear; if they were deliberate, it would indicate a callous genius as well as a farsighted malignancy. If the effects of the devices are accidental, it speaks of a terrifying power that could cause such a by-product unrelated to their true purpose.

Usually found buried in the decayed basalt biers and shattered cyclopean ruins of their maker’s civilisation—long rendered into anonymity by the erosion of ages—the Halo Devices themselves are always inexplicably untouched by the effects of time. Halo Devices come in many forms, from smooth carbuncular talismans to strange miniature trilobite- like fossil curios and sinister orbs with fluid and glossy surfaces. All share a strange metallic feel, defy analysis by auspexs or scanners, and are nearly imperious to harm. Indeed any force sufficient to breach one will also destroy it, making any such act worthless. All that is known of their effects are half-truths and stories passed down across the millennia. In fact, there are as many strange and unreliable fragments of lore surrounding them as there are different forms to the devices themselves.

Given the proscribed nature of Halo Devices, it is unsurprising that rumour and supposition persist as to their powers and use. The truth, however, is that the devices will indeed grant their possessor what he seeks—youth, vigour, and undying power, but in such a manner only the most deranged would choose. Over time, the devices become part of their possessor’s body and mind, changing him according to alien inclinations and subjugating him to strange thirsts. The life of a possessor of a Halo Device becomes less his own and more that of the device itself."

I have put fourth plenty. I think that's enough to have the right to say "hey, maybe don't limit the whole sector and a whole faction with your idea"

Ah hell, here we go.

Every time, why don't people learn. Own individual ideas, not lists of them, else the whole thing devolve into ego dueling. Ego is the death of community projects.

I myself am perfectly fine with status quo changes, but for fucks sake show the alternative. Open the door yourself and roll the warband, don't complain someone closed the door. It's not locked. I'm sure we'd all be fine with limiting the nanites to a region, but the one anon wanting Nurgle influence, you, has only complained about us not being warm to the idea. Do you want it because we don't seem to, or do you want it because you have an idea for it?

And speaking of special snowflakes, I don't think a Malalite warband is a good idea. Though it would fit the outcast theme, and the oddly paradoxical nature of the sector, Hashut being here seems like crowding the big bad position.

You temporarily negated your earlier suggestions by having an unhelpful hissy fit, following an offered explanation.

I see you have a wealth of material here, and I have to respect that. I do respect the work (honestly, I love how the Sons factor into the overarching plot of the Sector). However, getting hostile with me is not going to help (nor is flinging a bunch of buzzwords; we're both better than that). I'll admit, I bristled up on that last message sent to you too. That probably didn't help either. But come on. Let's not have a fight over it. Nor have a pissing match (I've brought about as much as you to the table, more-or-less so let's not bring arguments of entitlement into it).

However, you did give me some ideas, and you do have a point (even if it could have been reached with less gnashing of teeth) . Perhaps limit the less controlled infection zones to the Bram Highlands Sub-sector, with only smaller traces of it elsewhere outside of Blightstone itself. The Inquisition did enact purges, after all. Also, I have the idea of a Nurglite-focused Dark Mechanicus faction who can work with the virus… through extremely stringent and careful containment/decontamination procedures and regulations.  Also, I'm liking the idea of Nurglite soul-suicide bombers trying to bring a cobbled together potpourri of plague down on a world. Is that a bit more amenable?

>ego dueling

Yeah, because "don't screw over an entire faction with your idea" is so totally egotistical of me.

>but for fucks sake show the alternative

How many times do I have to say I've said "limit the nanites"? Do I need to write an essay on it, take over their idea and tell them what to do? I'm not asking them to get rid of them, I'm asking them to limit them. I don't think that's much of a question.

>I'm sure we'd all be fine with limiting the nanites to a region

Yet the nanite guy has said nothing other to show this.

>but the one anon wanting Nurgle influence, you

Oh my god. Is no one reading what I'm writing? I don't want a nurgle influence. I want him to reign back his idea that would retard nurgle factions.

>has only complained about us not being warm to the idea

Again, read what I've written. My main complain is that it one person is handicapping an entire faction.

>I don't think a Malalite warband is a good idea. Though it would fit the outcast theme, and the oddly paradoxical nature of the sector, Hashut being here seems like crowding the big bad position

I understand, but the idea for the Malalite warband wasn't to be established as a big bad force, just a small band that pesters the chaos forces in the sector. Mostly just a handful of marines and some cultists, and a small ship. Malal Pirates. I'm not sold on the idea, but I was looking into doing something evil and the Sons of Malice caught my eye.

>>188456 (You)

>You temporarily negated your earlier suggestions by having an unhelpful hissy fit, following an offered explanation.

I was repeating what you were doing, so if you see it as a hissy fit then you're the one throwing it.

>However, getting hostile with me is not going to help

I'm only getting hostile to you because you just kept repeating the idea instead of responding to the my criticism that the idea you had was unfair to other content creators here.

>Perhaps limit the less controlled infection zones to the Bram Highlands Sub-sector, with only smaller traces of it elsewhere outside of Blightstone itself.

All I wanted. I shouldn't have really have had to ask you not to screw over a whole faction with your idea, but this is all I wanted.

>The Inquisition did enact purges, after all.

Wanna call attention to the Ordo Sepulturum, an heavily underused canonical faction that fights diseases (usually nurgle related but not inherently).

>Also, I have the idea of a Nurglite-focused Dark Mechanicus faction who can work with the virus

Some rogue Magos Biologis?

Right, rogue Biologis sounds good, would explain why their procedures are so stringent and orderly (to say nothing of clean). Might they have Plague Marines and cultists interested in their work, maybe even protecting them? Would they be mobile, or bound to certain planets?

Why did you approach it from the angle of gimping a non-present faction you don't have any interest in instead of, say, it being a bit ridiculous, a handwave, too easy for Deldar to exploit and spread, anathema to the Necrons, or various other reasons? Why contest it for something that wasn't there, and whose inclusion you have no feelings toward? It's moot now, but that position and the anger at other's not understanding is needlessly absurd. I suppose there are better words than alternative, but I did so under the assumption you had a horse in this race which, up until this, it seemed like you were withholding until someone opened the gate.

Like the Heretek idea, and the Sepultrurum trying to stop them.

Okay, let's see what kind of evil bastards I can roll up…

>Slaanesh

>The number of blessings for this warband is low, restricted for now to the leader and their inner circle.

>The most common blessings to them are aesthetic in nature (a sort of color-shifting mottled "camouflage" pattern, typically, though the leader has fabulous hair).

>They are based in the outer part of Hashut's Brass Labyrinth (on a planetoid tucked into a corner of the "architecture"), furthest from the Forever Pit.

>Over 50% of this warband's force is composed of Traitor Marines, the rest are supporting cultists. The Marines' background is diverse, having formed from Slaaneshi-aligned traitors and renegades drawn from across the Galaxy. Most of them are not, in fact, Legionnaire veterans, but have been born in the intervening millennia. Many are unusually sane for Slaanesh cultists, but this is largely thanks to relative inexperience.

>Their mortal cultists, meanwhile, are recruited via kidnap raids into Imperial and neutral worlds.

>…Stealth and Infiltration is their combat doctrine. How do they do this? Well for one thing, they've made it a part of their religious creed to perfect the art of being unseen and unheard. Therefor, perfect sneaking and subterfuge is their worship to Slaanesh [MY MIND]. Their cultists are similarly trained for a variety of espionage and assassination roles, some of them acting as unknowing sleeper agents even so far afield as Carstein. In 'battle' (ambush or massed infiltration), think of the Foot Clan from 2003's TMNT cartoon, but dangerously competent. Now think of them with the Shredder, but the Shredder is replaced with a soundlessly graceful giant in light power armor.

> Their Legendary Champion is a Daemon Prince, Iruel the Quick, fearsome to behold (if you beheld Him at all).

>His great deed was infiltrating the shipyards over Carstein, sneaking aboard the Emperor-class battleship Hammer of Kings, initiating a seemingly normal and cleared departure (in cooperation with His agents), then taking over the ship after it went to Warp. It is currently the warband's secondary base, deploying teams while cloaked in the Warp.

So, Fabio the Barbarian and his Pillar Men leading a buttload of competent Foot clan aboard the galaxy's biggest pleasure yacht.

Sounds good.

I'm guessing the Khornate warband is as bombastic and attention seeking as possible. Professional wrestling/lucha theme? Jonah Seer champion? A Hellbrute simply known as the Ultimate Hulk?

how about a company of the Desert Fangs Legion sent on a repentence crusade to Aetern Sector by their Primarch Rachnus Rageous before the fall of Voralia. Sent here for disobeying an order or something, they've been here ever since. i was thinking that since they're nulls that the call of the sector doesn't effect them. Even they can hear/feel it but if they left the sector it would't dive them to madness. they are tied to the sector only by the oath of repentance they made to their primarch to roam the sector and crush all enemy's of the imperium they find. They wait for the day their Primarch returns and relieves them of their duty, the day they will have payed their debt to their legion and primarch, the day they will have earned back their honor.

Well that was unexpected. Come, dice gods!  What else shall we create?

>Other: The Hunter (Deity of Raptors, Warp Talons, and (unwittingly on their part) the Inquisition)

>Every single (active) member of this warband has the attention of the Hunter, and it is generous with its boons and favors.

>Many blessings are aesthetic, but they also have plenty of blessed wargear. The former often takes the shape of greyish, cold-resistant scales and hawk feathers sprouting up randomly. These help the Huntsmen have an easier time stalking through the frigid environs of Aetern. The latter usually come in the form of more efficient jump-packs, daemon-clarity targeting sights, and enhanced movement servos in power armor suits.

> They are headquartered/denned aboard a well-furnished Space Hulk, the Nodens' Chariot. It functions as a spaceborne hunting lodge and game preserve, as the Huntsmen enjoy training by hunting genestealers, kommandos, rangers, wyches, hrud, simulacra, possessed servitors, guardsmen, and many other captured things through the oft-confusing interiors (naturally, the Chariot keeps a pleasant cathedral-sized trophy hall of taxidermied and cleaned up remains from the best hunts). Every nook and cranny of the place has traps, hiding spots, and supply stocks for both Huntsman and hunted. Were the Hulk to come under attack, it would be a complete slog to take.  The Chariot takes a circular (semi-clockwise) path through the Warp around the Sector, exiting and re-entering at a long-determined pattern set by the Huntsmen. This pattern puts them in optimal positions to launch hunting expeditions onto the celestial bodies below.

>Only a squad's worth of Marines (10-15), at least four of which are Warp Talons, the rest of the Huntsmen are  augmented mortals of one race or another (those prey who perform well enough in the game preserve are given the chance to become Huntsmen; the only other alternative is death), mostly human or human-derivative. The Marines themselves are all (or were, rather) Raptors splintered off from the Night Lords and Black Legion. One of the Warp Talons, Ouranos the Scourge, is their leader's( Hermes the Cyclone) elder brother. Though most of his mind is subsumed to the Hunt, nothing could enrage him more than harming the Talon's sibling.

> For the most part, the Huntsmen recruit from the worlds surrounding the Brass Labyrinth and Forever Pit, as well as those within the Veiled Regions.  They seek those with an aptitude and keen desire for hunting, training them in the Chariot preserve. Once the best have been culled from the pupils, they are put through a ritual of the Hunter by the Scourge, who moves with sudden (if mute) lucidity to mark each of them as property of their new god.

>Siege? Sure, patience is a virtue in Huntsmen, but that's not their main doctrine. Sorcery? Bah! The space-cleaving boons of the Hunter are not that overcomplicated mumbo-jumbo! Ah, there we go: the Marines and their Huntsmen make use of Anvillus-pattern Dreadclaws, standard-pattern claws, and a handful of Kharybdis-pattern Assault Claws to land their troops and assail their prey just about anywhere, be it planetbound or in the void.

>Their Legendary Figure is a Champion of the Hunt. Once upon a time, he figured out which drop-pod carried the Chapter Master of some local Marines to be determined, and knocked it off course with precision fire. Then he tracked down the wounded Space Marine, whittling down his strength and armor through simple traps, before killing him. On another occasion, he destroyed a Tzeentchean cult (who would have reduced one of his favorite hunting grounds in the Bram Highlands to warpfire if it were successful) through misdirection, throwing his voice, and a strategically-placed Khornate dog-whistle.  It was also he who set up the arrangement which the Marines have with their Huntsmen, and indeed is the reason the warband exists in the first place. His name is Ouranos Metternich.

More Chaotic perfidy to come.

And as per >>188707 's suggestion, let's paint the town red.

 Khorne

> The warband receives a fair smattering of blessings and boons from the Axe-Father, though it is a comparative few who can truly impress him. He keeps an eye on them, watching those few with anticipation.

>The warriors of this warband fight with weapons and tread in armor blessed by Khorne. Power and chain-axes bite harder with every swing (and roar like lions or howl like dogs), plasma cannons create searing flashes which burn targets further away from impact, and flamers which produce a daemonic scream to paralyze (and mark) the weak-hearted. Their armor deflects glancing blows with ease, and the snarling faces upon it will actually shift to bite at enemies who dare strike from behind.

In addition, the senior warriors among them each have the savagery of a Bloodletter or a Flesh Hound at their beck and call. These daemons make for handy assistants and comrades in battle… but should their "master" falter, they will have his head for the Skull Throne.

> Fleetbound.  The warband migrates from one side of the Sector to the other, raiding and killing as they go. They resupply themselves through looting when in Imperial territory, and trade with the Dark Mechanicus while in the Core worlds.

 They are the fresh circulating blood to grease the cogs of Aetern, being only five hundred years old as a warband.

>Khornate cultists and Marines, working in roughly balanced numbers for the glory of the Blood God. I'd give them an ad hoc naval structure here, with some Viking mixed in.

>They recruit by taking in the lost & damned, traitors all to the Imperium.

>What are their tactics, you ask, aside from MAIM KILL BURN? Shock & Awe, O pathetic lackeys of the Corpse Emperor! Orbital bombardments and sudden armored charges down below. Break the enemy, before it can bring all its strength to bear.

okay, so I rolled the rest, and here's what I've got

we have a derived from the raven guard's geneseed and founded rather late to combat whatever the fuck is going on in this sector. They're ULTRA-TACTICOOL OPERATING BROS and they revere some tactical captain who genocided an entire alien race into oblivion. FUCK YOU XENOS. They live in a civilized wasteland, AKA the middle-east. They don't really give a damn about the politics there, so long as they get to pump out recruitment propoganda. They have a unique organization that means their veterans go on to become the leadership of the chapter rather than in direct combat, giving them a bit of a disadvantage in combat. However, they have a shit-ton of rare weaponry because apparently it was just lying around somewhere(???)

however, they have a dearth in numbers (which their recruitment offices are desperately trying to fix)

as for their religiousness, they love the EMPRAH as he is the most TACTICAL. may he bless us with ammo pouches and aussault clips. however, for whatever reason they made ENEMIES OF THE ECCLESIARCHY.

yes, that one.

as for their allies, the guardsmen just LOVE them because other space marines just don't understand their love of all things OPERATOR

Don't worry, this is actually a pretty active thread. At least once a day, it'll have a small flurry of activity which keeps on the front page, which can transform into a big flurry of activity if the momentum builds and the ideas are hot. As said, no rush, but in general you don't have to worry about absolutely nothing happening in this thread on a daily basis.

Also, any feedback on the Hunter's Moon? I kinda thought the Hunter would cause the inner rage to emerge in some. Then again, this is a Sector with Chaos Squats and Zoats, so…

Perhaps they found an archaeotech/weapons cache not long after they arrived in-Sector?

Perhaps also they strongly dislike the idea of the Big E being a god instead of the greatest man ever?

Whenever you run into odd rolls, try to think over and reason out what they might mean. It can lead  to some interesting characterization and mental images.

From the sound of things, they might take one look at Bram Highlands Sub-sector and go full frothing REMOVE LEMBAS mode.  Perhaps we need to roll up an alien race or two as terrors from beyond the Veil.

Speaking of that, any ideas about what kind of alien race they squished to lead into their present M.O.?

The rare weapons are actually a bit explained by their promotions. The guys who would be using them aren't fighting as much, and thus aren't losing them as much. I'm thinking they were the result of a more codex compliant chapter that was reduced to a single company after going ape against the xenos they exterminated. The geneseed is that of the survivors, those elite from across the chapter that survived the personally applied exterminatus.

I'm thinking it was something like Xenomorphs or Arachnids they faced down. Perhaps they were granted a feral world as a gift for some past exploit, and set about to purge it of the primitive xenos that infested it.

Well, these xenos were damn quick learners. Like Moties in the Mote in God's Eye, or the Yahgs of Mass Effect, they had simply never had the chance to pursue technology either because society or resources limited. The guardsmen outposts recently founded on the planet are empty, scraped clean of metal and men. The whole chapter comes down to have a go at cleansing their new homeworld. For a week they see no sign of anything, of anyone, then BAM, their ships are blown to smithereens or severely damaged as the insectoid xenos shoot artillery from below, killing most of the command squad. Montage three decades of tunnel warfare, hunting for the queens as supplies dwindle, essentially fighting a world war. Under the tactical squad captain they finish the job on one sub-continent, but still have to deal with another decade of vengeful soldier castes doing suicide runs and more from the next landmass. The tactics and equipment stop being guard knockoffs, but start being improvements and downright new things entirely.

Eventually an inquisitive inquisitor comes a knocking, and saves whats left of the shellshocked marines. The de facto chapter master himself gives the command to virus bomb that hellish jungle world.

Given how tried and true these survivors were the inquisitor made sure the mechanicus gave them special treatment in regards to gear and gene-seed replacement. They were additionally given an already nice world in Aetern sector, next to some heavily entrenched heresy and on the border of the (unnamed terrors beyond the veil).

No idea what they specifically do to piss off the church. Maybe like you say they openly profess that Emps is no god, and so the citizens of their own world are weary of them despite their undying loyalty.

okay, drama over.

I rolled a pretty big empire, with 11+ systems and gunning for more. Their method of attack is pretty much to point a gun at the person in front of them, and if they surrender, then they get a new slave/vassal, and if they don't, then they obliterate everything in front of them. sounds pretty average, but here's where it gets interesting;

on their physiology, I managed to roll 3 different body types (warp-tainted, insectoid, and death-world). so, I mixed it all together and got a creature that was originally an incredibly resistant cockroach-type creature that evolved to survive almost any environment . However, a warp tear opened up in their system, causing them to be warped and mutated by it while still resisting total annihilation due to their incredibly resilient nature. This led to them mutating to point where the physiology of each individual creature could vary wildly in all manners, yet still be able to reproduce. Eventually some of them got smart enough to harness the massive amounts of warp energy, and figured out a way to close the tear. with their only obstacle gone, the creatures exploded out through space and started capturing territory like it was going out of style. Their method of organization/governance as well as their general demeanor is quite unique as well. they're organized in a fuzzy caste-esque system, where the stronger/smarter individuals lead warpaths composed of the smaller/less specialized members. There's also a "special" class of individuals whose mutations are so extreme that they give them a massive advantage or power that can be used like a living weapon.

as for their personality, they evolved to combat warp influence so they have (or at least show) no emotions whatsoever. in fact, they seem to have no language at all. yet somehow they can still communicate without using warp-vulnerable telepathy and quite easily understand the emotions of species "below them".

also at some point they managed to conquer/enslave an eldar craftworld (damn lucky dice) and their weaponry is equal to the imperium's (but their ships are far, far bigger)

their mainstay are giant warfleets that outclass all but the largest imperial fleets.

The way you present it leaves something to be desired, but I think I got a good image of them.

The ships might be like Tau waystations, huge colony ships that are necessary to by-pass their sub-light travel handicap. For this reason as well they travel in laaarge fleets to prevent becoming prey. Their slight psychic null effect is how they were able to sneak up on a Craftworld.

I foresee a little cooperation between these marines, who need a name, and the Craftworld Arhanrhod. Perhaps that's the big gripe the ecclesiarchy has with them.

Are you going to name the marines or should I?

MIght I suggest something like the Holy Dervishes or the Shaykhs of Battle?

As for the xenos, perhaps they took hold of a smaller Craftworld in the Veil, and tried to do the same to Arhanrhod. They turned out to be much harder to crack.

Segmenta? Yeah maybe. We might be away from where Sarpedon's Soul Drinkers entered the Regions.

I didn't think dervish was in the 40k lexicon but apparently there is a laspistol type named such. A dervish is someone following an ascetic tradition, or a "whirling" dervish is one of those spinning guys. First definition doesn't fit them, but I'd find a curved sword toting chapter interesting.

I can't seem to find a consistent type of dervish blade, but the general appearance is unique. Not as curved as a scimitar, nor as simple as a more Eastern blade.

Sons of Kheti in the veil-ward subsector, hiding from the light of the emperor.

The center of the sector is the damning labrynth, that assemblage of systems and warp rifts that spews forth wickedness on the regular. Coreward are orks, rimward are zoats, the slaaneshi and khornate warbands circle around. Vielward are the xenos empire, and opposite them are the hereteks of Nurgle.

The Emperor's Reach at the center of the coreward subsector, with the veilward section housing the desert'y marines

The Necrons and Eldar and hapless humans share the coldest subsector, opposite the veil.

okay, so I tried rolling up a malal warband to sort of roam around and cause havoc, but I got so many nonsensical rolls that I think malal may be channeling through my die

essentially I have a warband made up of a few traitor marines from the 31st millenium who all hate each other and never recruit. their cult has no permanent members and gets no blessings, but every few centuries malal shows up and grants someone daemonhood (usually not even a member of the cult)

their "leader" is a 10,000 year old blood angel that wiped out an entire chaos warband, and was chosen by malal for whatever reason. He's sealed in his armor, has warp sight, unnatural reflexes, and hates literally everyone, especially his co-cultists.

is that contradictory enough?

Hilariously so. I'm picturing new members spontaneously popping up from out of the Warp/as Malal "directs" them, then pinging off their senior "brethren" like hateful pinballs.

The Blood Angel has only not succumbed to Black Rage because he's stuck with the "job" of herding homicidal cats across the sector, and maybe (at your discretion, anon, as are much of the key details) out of whatever sense of duty he might have left.  Otherwise, he has plenty of opportunities to vent on everyone around him.

If anyone knows (fairly thoroughly) how to do that, I invite you to proceed. If not, then I'll have to figure out how it works. Pic related.

>What are their tactics, you ask, aside from MAIM KILL BURN? Shock & Awe, O pathetic lackeys of the Corpse Emperor! Orbital bombardments and sudden armored charges down below. Break the enemy, before it can bring all its strength to bear.

>le khorne dislikes strategy may may

Doing the same all the time and refusing to diversify your MO is a good way to get yourself rekt. I see no problem with a Khornate warband setting up ambushes to destroy vehicles or using masses of cultists/daemons/heavy vehicles to draw heavy fire so that Raptors can safely flank, swoop down upon the enemy heavy weapon teams (stuff like devastators or any heavily armed troops and vehicles that could undermine a frontal Khorne Berserker flank), slay them and jump away before the enemy brings serious counter-melee like Dreadnoughts, Banshees, Deffs Dreads or Ogryns that could threaten the relatively squishy Raptors.

Use skull cannons as artillery to weaken enemy defensive positions before ambushing with Raptors.

Then charge with the Khorne Berserkers. Without heavy weapons threatening them, they will eat alive any tropps in their way unless they are incredibly outnumbered. Anti-melee walkers and vehicles can be dealt with by Defilers and melee Chaos Dreadnoughts. While Berserkers cannot be controlled, Elite Troops and Commanders can seek out and destroy banner bearers and enemy commanders, destroying any chance of a disorganized retreat.

Note that in medieval combat most casualties were inflicted into retreating units, so there is nothing un-Khornate about that strategy. So there it is, it wasn't that difficult, was it?

I'm sick of the 'hurr hurr khornates cant into complex thought'. Like if being angry somehow made you stupid.

This is all from a fluff standpoint of course.

NEW SUMMARY

the entire sector rhythmically pulsates and causes strange shit to occur

we have:

the sons of Kheti (pre-heresy sons of prospero with a Ptolemaic Egyptian/Mediterranean theme) hiding in the veil along with a bunch of necrons, along with an empire of chaos-mutated super bugs

The Sothoth Deeps with two pulsars, a dyson sphere/archeotech world/two warring necron tomb worlds (Ebin and Xanzsan)/near-abandoned forgeworld/ork scrap planet

about 4 chaos warbands who roam all across the sector:

The Hidden Hands (sneaky chameleon-like slaaneshi cultists)

Hunter chaos cult (multispecies cult [perhaps some eldar?])

Butchery khorne cult

and the contradictory Malalian cult which likes to stir shit up during the cycles

The Imperial-controlled Vladimur's Domain controlled by space-hussars who are loyal as shit to the emprah. The space east india company is probably in here somewhere and helps out with cultists/policing

The Bram Highlands which is co-occupied by Himmelwelt and it's weird occult sisters and a craftworld dealing with an immigration crisis. There's also a bunch of poor exodites and humans (as well as half-breeds) who regularly get terrorized by a nanite plague.

Somewhere in there is a region controlled by the unabashedly non-religious, tacticool, super well-equipped desert marines and their Al-Qaeda subjects.

Finally, we have the grand labyrinth in the center of the sector, where a bunch of chaos squats live and Hashut pops out of every few centuries to release some untold horrors unto the universe.

Chaos doesn't cause mental illnesses of the kind that hinder intelligence.

>disparagement of the meeem

>implying I wasn't doing that already

Hey hey, I addressed that. In fact, this is the kind of warband that would mock and play on stereotypes like it (while occasionally enjoying the odd berserk run). They've existed long enough to have some structure and grasp of strategy (though I'm glad to have a Khorne player who knows his kit onboard to provide some grounding). These Khornates haven't stayed a warband for at least 500 years without being clever and fast.

That reminds me…

>…Somehow I doubt that a Sorcerer is their hero (though I certainly like the idea of each ship having a Bloodfather "chaplain"/skald sequestered aboard).

 No, a == Chaos Lord of Khorne == fits much better.

>What was his deed of legend? In Khorne's bloody honor, the First Lord-Admiral wiped a fleet of Slaaneshi cultists (and attendant warband) from the face of Aetern. How did he do this? By sneering at the efforts of the other fleet so far, boasting that the Butcher's Bill could please their own god far more than the lurid whores and gigolos could please their Prince.

> The Slaaneshi pirate-lord, infuriated at the idea of a brutish Khornate exceeding in their domain, proposed a wager: whosoever could bring down the Imperial patrol fleet traversing the Saloniki system, would then have the spoils of the system for their god. The Admiral accepted the wager, and in the spirit of honor declared that the pirate-lord could go first.

>The ambush was planned, the locales were set, and the fleets positioned.  Either ambush fleet would need to strike fast and hard, as the Imperial patrol was known to be well-armed. So the Slaaneshi struck from a nearby nebula, full of disorienting lights and bedeviling vox sound. They struck with finesse and speed, crippling several of the Imperials where they flew. But in their flightiness, they forgot the Imperial tendency to grievously wound before fall. A macrocannon blast, aimed in desperation, tore through the pirate flagship, nearly casting their now-panicking lord to the void. Soon, the Slaaneshi were bogged down in their fight, confused and disoriented without their leader to keep the plan intact. The Admiral shook his head, appraising his rival's plan as lost. He gave the order, and the Butcher's Bill moved in from both sides of the system.  Like the jaws of a great wolf, the Khornates closed on both disorientated fleets, crushing them through timely fire and boarding actions.  

>So it was that the warriors of Khorne descended upon Saloniki and reaped another glorious tally.

And with that, the initial details are complete.

The Order of the Burning Void

>Why Was The Order Founded?

10 - Crusade - "We need people running around and hitting the Imperium's enemies. Found an Order!"

>If one exists, what is the Order's Flaw?

09 - Bad Ecclesiarch Relations - The Order has deviated from the Imperial Cult in a significant way.

>Order Demeanour

01 - Swift As The Wind - Crush the Heretic before they realize we are here!

>Figure of Legend

100 - A specialist of your choice.

>Deeds of Legend

86 - Lives still and may one day return to them in glory.

>Order homeworld

96 - Fleet-based (Imagine hosting these evangelicals!)

>Order organisation

10 - Unique Organization.

>Combat doctrine

03 - Armoured Assault.

>Special equipment

>[Roll] three times if you rolled "Unique organisation"

02 - Personal Charm: This Order has strong beliefs in the icons of either the Emperor or their Saint. A Battle-Sister from this Order would never be caught without such an icon on their person. Example: Order Sigils on a necklace, Fleur-de-lys tattooed under the right eye.

03 - Modified Jump-Pack: The Seraphim Sisters of this Order often, with the help of the Adeptus Mechanicus, modify their jump packs. Examples: Jump-Pack’s created in different shapes such as angel wings or eagle's wings.

08 - Modified Vehicle: This Order has had to adapt their transports to new and different circumstances. This Order may use more rare vehicles as primary transport. Examples: Modified Rhino, Immolator, or Repressor. (Avenger Strike Fighter)

>What form do the Orders' beliefs take?

01 - Honour to the Hero(ine)- "Remember the saint and s/he shall guide you!"

>At what strength is the Order?

05 - Nominal.

>Who is your Order friendly with?

37 - Adeptus Mechanicus.

>Who are the Order's enemies?

81 - A particular Chaos-aligned group

I'd have fleshed them out more and written a backstory to them, but I've been distracted with the Sons of Kheti, Liona's Guard and a group of Cursed Founding Space Marines, plus my own personal stories.

I'll get around to them eventually, but the jist of it their saint is a Avenger pilot, helped the Inquisition out and slew a Daemon Prince while saving the Inquisitors life in the process (from her Avenger). She lost most of her fighter wing in this task.

Time went by, new SoB crusade was asked for, and she was made its leader. Understaffed and under-equipped, she started confiscating civilian ships to augment her fleet or received them as donations from Rogue Traders/Imperial Aristocracy usually to help build a case against Heresy charges as well as kindling a close relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus to provide them with fighter/bomber craft.

Most of the order is pilots, not being able to muster much of a group force. They often call upon the local Imperial Guard to support them, and support the Imperial Guard with aerial superiority.

They have a bad relationship with the Ecclesiarchy due to their increased focus on SoB Saint worship and the influence of the Machine Cult.

I'll get around to doing more on them eventually.

>How often do you reckon the Inquisition has observers posted with them, though?

I imagine no more frequently than another other SoB militant section. Maybe if they're tackling pirates they'd lend them a stocked carrier, or if the Inquisitor needed a ship loaner for whatever reason, so long as it was returned for the crusade when no longer needed.

I imagine they'd have more visits from the Ecclesiarchy, being part of the Ecclesiarchy yet having bad relations with them for deviation of the Imperial Cult.

>Also, I'm curious about how they've modified their vehicles and equipment

I took the modification of their vehicles and jump-packs to establish the idea of the fighter/bomber heavy group. They'd no doubt modify them to function better over time as their experience with them increased. Modifications for more diverse weapon mountings as well.

Not sure on the Personal Charm. Probably a personal symbol of their order's founder.

>to say nothing of how they're organized

They'd likely draw heavily from penal worlds for the bulk of their ship's crews.

Their militant section would likely be 90% pilots, 9% guards and 1% ship captains/higher ship staff. Their fighters/bombers must have at least one sister pilot, the others can be trained from their non-penal civilian crusaders.

>The Mechanicus must have an interesting relationship with them, considering the theological extremes present.

Their founder, who I've yet to name, venerated her holy Avenger, which was already praised as a divine instrument by SoB's, a little too much. She considered them to be a fellow battle sister. This caught the attention of the Mechanicus who maintained the orders machines and over the years her fellow pilots adopted a pseudo-worship of the machines as tools of the Emperor, and even referral to the Emperor as the Omnissiah when praying to the Emperor to bless their wargear and ships, which started prominently when she was elevated to the leader of the crusade.

Make no mistake, they're still heavy on the Imperial Cult, but the Machine Cult influences are noticeable.

Needs more fleshing out, and it's getting too late to think straight over here.

Good kit, loyal horse, once you've broken him in.

>We're led by the Officers our Voievod picked to go with us from the start. They know us, we know them. Sometimes a Commissar thinks he needs to supervise us, for reasons known only to that cap. We behave like good little boys and girls, then prop him up in a chair when he faints.

>Huhuhuhuh, you think that in a regiment of tens of thousands maybe a hundred thousand, haven't decided the regiment scale yet, we'd have anything less than 800?

>HAHAHAHAHAH! We are nothing less than the fucking bugbear of every heretic from the moons of Blightstone to the Maze, for over two thousand years. Kids love the wings (even if their mothers don't let them close much). So do the womenfolk.

>Who the fuck wrote this questionnaire? "Demeanour"? Pfft. Munie ink-bones get duller and whinier every year. We tear up enemies of Voievod and Dumnezeu-împărat. We like doing it. A lot. It purges our sins and lets us kill things for a living at two hundred miles per hour. What more perfect job could you ask for, eh? All the needs of a soul met. Don't know why they call us crazy. It'd be more honest to call us more dedicated. I haven't seen them try and take on a red Grandrac with nothing but a las and a lance (and maybe some high explosives). Then again, most men the Voievod picks learn not to call us crazy. If we're crazy, the rest of them are just a couple steps less than us. Translation: On the surface, Cruel but Socially-adaptable adrenaline junkies, with a shot of Cockiness. Beneath the surface, Fanatical Pragmatists who have seen way too much shit to be frightened of anything less than a Greater Daemon.

Pitch black on the front, seemingly soaking up the light that touches them, embossed gold on the back, with murals depicting the history of their sect.

This is as much for stealth assaulting as depicting the nature of the sector, impenetrable darkness ahead and the Emperor's light behind. Go boldy into the howling dark, make it shine with the fires of your conviction.

>Wel, seeing how they have modified jump packs, how about making them angel wings?

Well I took the idea of the jump packs and modified vehicles and turned them into the fighters and bombers. It's possible their ground forces have them, but those roles really transformed into the defining concept of pilot-heavy SoB.

Though I do like the idea of Burning Void aces have golden fighters modified to have angels wings.

>We're friends with the same crazy bastards the rest of the Voievod's men are friends with: The Imperial Navy, împărat bless them. They take us to other worlds for us to kill things. They're good drinkers, decent brawlers, and sometimes they even look pale and black-eyed like bat-ears. Oh, and those Wholeghosts and ghoulmen, whatever you call them, it's fun to help clear out the vermin-bastards. Hrrm?  Well we like the crews, it's the ships we don't like. They're like the Hives of home, but the noise and smells are all wrong. Don't much like the idea of sitting in a bubble with no air outside.

>What do you mean, do we have our own friends? Fine, I'll answer it.  The fucking Schola Progenum of King Valentin. You will hear no man say he liked going there. It's not heresy if everyone knows it. The only fun there was in the place was in the trophy halls and on the  scrumball and grasshopper pitches (well, and some of the after-game 'meetings' with the Sisters-in-training. Snapped both femurs once, worth it.). But that place made us strong, and made us more than the little shits that got picked up off the streets. All the Voievod's men had to take courses there, make sure we knew the ways of the bigger world, better ways to kill, and how to write. The convicts and dobitoci, us, we got even more hammered in our heads. We were worth less than nothing before the Voievod drummed us in. Took more work to make something of us than the rest. But now, here we are.  They made us, and with our children and our spoils, we help make them. Next question. Every child born of the regiment (if they can prove it) gets automatically sent into the Schola Progenum, either to join the Carstein PDF, the Dragulmen, the Sisters, or an Imperial civil service. Trophies of dead Hussars get pride of placement in the Grand Halls of King Valentin's, with those from the rest of the Dragulmen arrayed around them. They serve to educate the pupils as to nonhuman (and sometimes human) biology, and to inspire them to live up to the legacy of their former owners (drill abbots familiar with the exhibits have been known to point specific trophies to specific students, if the name is connected with them). Psykers have noted that the lingering souls of the slain appear resentful but thoroughly cowed for the most part. The Inquisition includes the place as one of their key research archives in Aetern, with specimens and data preserved since the Sector's founding.

>Orks are fun. Eldar are a pain in the ass. Fuck Traitor Marines, and fuck those viral monsters too. They're abominations to Dumnezeu-împărat, and a bitch to kill.

No.

Rak'Gol are as communicative as Tyranids, and have tech a little less functional looking than Orks. They do not into piracy, trade, truce, anything. It is better to compare them to a creeping mold than anything, occasionally sending out spores to colonize around other worlds or moons, looting the ships that reside there and eviscerating the inhabitants. They may take over a space station and shoot the planet below into a radioactive hellhole even if it was already devoid of life. Nobody quite knows what the fuck they want.

Naturally. Hell, it's probably just gold painted.

I also think aces amongst aces is a thing. Gold is what you get for destroying 10 vehicles and is required to lead a squadron of sisters, 20 gets you another paintjob or decal or something. Or maybe specific notable campaigns get you certain wing stripes.

I wonder what a SoB flight suit would look like? Some reason Amelia Earhart keeps popping into mind. There's a few styles to pick from, if not traditional armour.

Something like a normal pilot uniform plus a habit worn over one of those helmets that looks like it has panties stretched over it. I like those helmets. And probably a bodysuit worn under it to make it airtight.

A normal pilot uniform doesn't leave much room for a (visible) corset, but there's always room for iconography. Fleur-de-lis instead of Golden Aquilas, skull charms or whatnot.

I dunno.

I'm picturing something with the hoses and helmet like TIE Fighter pilots with the smoothness, armor, and perhaps color of pic three (let us remember that the pilot will be sitting down for quite some time, ergonomics are helpful here), plus something like the default Sororitas helmet.

My initial idea was a mix of the 3rd and 4th image, sans head gear, for the bodysuit. Maybe a fur collar like real pilots have, the some modified Hospitallier mask with a visor.
