- [REDACTED] =][=
- Favoring long range warfare and precision strikes to kill targets and big loud automatic weapons for suppression. Stealth infiltration and sniper / spotter teams are more common than tactical squads, large amounts of devastators and fewer melee oriented squads fewer tanks but more artillery
- Psykers are a danger and must be researched so that we can properly utilize them and learn to counter enemy sorcerers powers

- >describe your powers as a primarch
- I would be capable of short bursts of terrifying speed even by primarch standards, would be a crack shot, and would have a psychic power that allows me to pass unseen.
- >what is the name of your legion?
- The Argent Comets.
- >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
- A one-two punch of heavy ranged bombardment (artillery, thunderfire, etc--big explosions from far off) followed by swarms of close-combat marines (probably assault marines in drop pods, in keeping with the theme). Despite using heavy guns, we don't do siege work--if the enemy is in a fortress we ignore them and conquer the rest of the planet. Let Dorn or Perturabo dig them out.
- >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?

- Fantastic navigation, perceptive, knowledgeable. Revered as a moderator of debates.
- >what is the name of your legion?
- The Gray Owls
- >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
- Specialising in sneak attacks with a heavy focus on air support. We only put troops on the ground when we see it as absolutely necessary, though it often, unfortunately is. We possess a weak array of terminator armour and tanks, preferring less armoured and bulky means.
- >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?
- While we don't feel Librarians are innately evil or to be feared, The Gray Owls do not employ them because we consider them unreliable and would rather field another bolter than a psychically-charged brain. That being said, we see no reason for other legions to not use them and therefore quietly disagree with the verdict.
- >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
- Can I go rogue? If not, the emperor just because chaos looks slimy and unappealing. I would prefer to serve humanity before the emperor.

- I am the good-natured, friend-to-all-my-brothers primarch. When two legions feud, when the Wolf and the Lion nearly come to blows, when Perturabo knocks down Dorn's sand castle, it is I who sorts out their shit and gets them to play nice.
- My legion is the Brothers of Sol
- My legion is all about armour. Fellblades, Predators, Whirlwinds, and Vindicators. Our motorpool is the envy of the other Legions.
- Psykers are mutants, but they are a grim necessity. Our librarium is stunted and closely watched, and our astropaths are never unsupervised.
- My Legion attempts to make peace between warring brothers, and our numbers are devastated as a result. Horus's men have no interest in peace, and slaughter the Sons of Sol out of hand. My failure to immediately condemn Horus and his cohorts earns me suspicion and ire from the other loyalist factions, and much of my legion is lost to "accidents" and friendly fire. By the end of the Heresy, only a few hundred remain. We travel to the Eye to seek out death or redemption.

- >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
- I would pack up with my crew and raid Chaos ships looking for these new and powerful artefacts they have been digging up, would probably sustain heavy loses against the Warmaster and his combined legions as a result.

- As regards to the Imperium I'd be apathetic, if they happen to be on a world with something I want on it then they can consider themselves dead or stopped. I'd be traveling throughout the galaxy raiding, exploring and hunting for new and wondrous things. As a result will probably be quite neutral to all things whether Imperial, Xeno or Chaos, just don't get in my way.
- Armour colours I'm not sure, I'd be wearing clothes over the armour, probably not even have a uniform or power armour. But if I did (as well as my marines) they'd cover it with jackets and other clothing like marines would put robes on themselves.

- We accept trade convoys from the Realm of Ultramar and respect them for their empires self-sufficiency and well guarded borders. We would almost certainly have sent aid during the Hive-Fleet Behemoth Crisis. That is as far as it goes. Our boarders are closed for economic migration or pilgrimage and uschedualed ships entering our system are fired upon and captured as standard.
- Never signed up to the Codex. Still broke Legion up. Each world in the Commonwealth has semi-independent Guardian Forces. They never get to serve on worlds they grew up on and are spread around as much as possible. Rotated every 50 - 100 years to prevent too much loyalty to one world forming.
- Will not subject my realm to his laws.
- >also, what would your response/comments have been to the way Lorgar and his word bearers approached the crusade?
- His methods were admirable. He found a world. Beat it down as little as possible, built it back up and gave the people a sense of pride in their new Imperial Citizenship.
- Would still have told him to go fuck himself if he tried to tempt me to chaos. But politely, I am a state leader after all and good manners must be maintained.

- Well, in paintball I always led from the front. Played scout, then ran back with the intel to put the rest of the team into better positions. Would occasionally shield some of the more hesitant players to get them where they were needed. Went for up close "kills" where my high reaction time usually let me get the drop on people. If an enemy spotted me, I'd lay out some covering fire, then run to another position while they were down, shooting to prevent peeking. Most of the time I could bunker tag people while they were shooting at my old position.
- I would have stealth or shrouded and would shun terminator armor for something much lighter. Armament would be a plasma pistol and an array of grenades and melta bombs (to simulating tagging out bunkers). I'd give buffs to scouts similar to Telion.

- >Describe any special friendships/rivalries your legion has with any of the others
- As I said before, we don’t like the Night Lords. We are friendly with both the Angels as well as the Word Bearers because they recognize themselves as servants as well as warriors. We also have a small reputation of disdain towards the White Scars/Raven Guard; As our primarch always said, “The term ‘hit and run’ implies that somewhere along the line, someone has stopped fighting. Needless to say, that is unacceptable.”
- >Describe some of your legion's most memorable victories/defeats
- Our most memorable victory would doubtless be the repulsion of a large force of Death Guard from the planet Karnak. In terms of defeats, we have not had many, but the worst was when the locals of an Eldar Exodite world repulsed our battlefleet without even having to call for craftworld support. Losing is a bitch, but losing to Amish elves is even worse.
- >Leman Russ has been told that you and your legion are going to Chaos. Now his fleet is in your home planet's orbit. What do?
- The Imperial Griffons are not oft to turn down a fight. Luckily, the only places on the planet which house actual marines are high mountain fortresses, so they’re largely gonna have to fight us on our own terms.

- Outmaneuvered in battle with Craftworld Eldar attempting to prevent human seizure of a planet. Lost two chapters to Eldar bike fleets. Returned the favor by nuclear bombardment from orbit against said Eldar. Eldar spent twelve centuries reclaiming soulstones not incinerated in the blasts.
- Encountered Daemon world late in the crusade. Purged with flame and purity of soul. Distrust for Thousand Sons developed after such discovery of the Warp's inhabitants.
- During Horus Heresy, encountered Eldar raiders from Commoragh attacking civilized human world, taking advantage of the bloodbath. After baiting raiders with the Planetary Defense force, strike squads reposition and block off webway portal. Dark Eldar forced to surrender. All prisoners burnt alive as justice for the enslavement and torture of humans.
- >Leman Russ has been told that you and your legion are going to Chaos. Now his fleet is in your home planet's orbit. What do?
- Attempt to dissuade him. Meanwhile, assemble a fleet. Attempt to win the battle in space, so as not to repeat the Prospero incident.
- Battle Cry: Victory or Death!
- Heraldry: Sigil is a gold sword wreathed in orange flame on a black background. Armor is silver, with orange highlights and ornate glyphs colored black, gold and/or white.
- Current Primarch location: Believed killed eight hundred years after the heresy, while battling Angron on one of his rampages, attempting to banish him back to the warp. Other rumors suggest falling to Khorne during said battle, or being lost in the warp praying for a chance to return.

- >describe your powers as a primarch
- Generally an all-rounder, perfectly average height for a Primarch if somewhat broad. Intelligent, charming, incisive with a ruthless streak. Favours a dichotomy between a fast, striking and powerful assault wing with a sturdy defence support. His followers are utterly devoted to him, nay, blown away but they are outnumbered by his detractors. Quite cruel, though he insists his actions are a kindness.
- >what is the name of your legion?
- The Thunder Hawks. Ideally, my legion would be the first to popularise the actual Thunderhawk as an attack craft and transport.
- >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?
- Curious, and defensive of Magnus's actions.
- >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
- Chapter would schism between Chaos and Imperium. The Primarch would disappear in the midst of the fighting, and would be mixed reported dead, fighting for chaos as a disciple of Slaanesh, as a disciple of Tzeentch, fighting ardently for the imperium and trying to stop fighting between the two sides. The badly depleted loyalist would reform as the Knights Recantus in shame for the chapter's division, while millenia later the traitors would go by the Storm Lances.

- The Void Hunters have a strong friendly rivalry with the Blood Angels legion, due to their contrasting styles

- and detonating buried torpedoes under their feet.
- Defeat: Failing to counter a xenos invasion of a small Forge World, and being forced to detonate the planet's reactor network, resulting in the deaths of 2,000 Astartes and nearly 3 million civilian workers.
- >Leman Russ has been told that you and your legion are going to Chaos. Now his fleet is in your home planet's orbit. What do?
- Send immediate communiques to the commanders of the system's garrison forces (stationed in the asteroid belt), and have them prepare to assault Russ' fleet from all directions. Evacuate the civilian population of the home world to it's underground bunker network, and prepare the explosive charges laced throughout the world's hive cities and the fortress monastery. Attempt to contact Russ to get an explanation for his actions.

- The siege of Arathos. A xenos world that was preparing for a long typical imperial ground army. Completely caught out in surprise by well executed massive orbital bombardments followed by largescale devastator deployments.

- One of the notable defeats the legion went trough long past the heresy. Their heavier troops were completely caught out in the open by fast assaulting night lord raptor forces and slaughtered.

- >Powers as a primarch
- Intelligence gathering, marksmanship, infiltration. Kind of quiet, but can be well spoken on occasion. Hard on for world building. Probably improvised weapons in there somewhere. Finally all that military training is good for something.
- >Name of the Legion
- Grey Brothers. It's bland, boring, forgettable. Exactly what we want to be. Symbol should be something equally forgetable.
- >Main Tactics
- Infiltration, Deception, Long range attacks and explosives. Air assault tactics as well. When they strike it's like a peaceful movie suddenly having the director change from Sophia Coppella to Michael Bay. We would have specialists in infiltration and fighting behind enemy lines. There would be rules for deep striking etc because of this. The Grey Brothers would abscond glorious combat, and strike the enemy in the back or blow their sorry asses up. Shock and Awe tactics especially. Basically xenos and traitors fighting us should experience extreme despair.
- >Main Characteristics
- We probably would get along well with the White Scars, and maybe the Raven Guard, so I guess a history with those guys. We might be fleet based, and not have a homeworld, though I think that would be more from terraforming worlds as a sort of side thing. Good relatins with the IG and =][= would be encouraged, as would working with the sisters. However, our main speciality will always be similar to Alpha Legion, which would be infiltration and behind enemy lines tactics. So we probably would have been buddies with Alpharius and Omegeon before the Heresy.
- > As the primarch where do you stand on the council of nikea issue
- Psykers are a useful resource.
- >During the time of the Heresy who would you side with.
- Personally, I think I would stick with the Emperor. He has been kind enough to give me a legion and some kick ass power armor, that's a qualifier for a pretty damn good dad to me. We would be heartbroken about Alpharius though (or would we?)

- To be able to come up with tactics so outlandish or so moronic that actually works and catches even a tactical genius off guard. All the while being clumsy and well mannered, yet able to sneak in stuff or sneak stuff out without being detected.
- >what is the name of your legion?
- The Paradox
- >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
- Extremely unconventional warfare that focuses on ranged combat in places no one even thinks of defending or think anyone would be sane to attack from, whether they be from the air, underwater, under ice, underground, or teleporting in. If that fails, fast and hard hitting air strikes on command structures and anything vital to the enemy.

- >Incredibly stubborn in personal code. Will continue until the very end if it is something to believe in. Relatively intelligent and able to either get people to like me or hate me. Very quick thinking in a fight, calm as all hell and precise in where to hit. Also loud.
- >Children of Sol
- We shall be children of the Sun, unconquered and bringers of justice. Destroyers of world that do not surrender to the Imperium.
- >Heavy use of artillery and close association with the Ad Mech for that delicious high quality armor.
- >Use of psykers only to be used for strategic purposes not for the battlefield (future sight).
- Used as the hammer and anvil to crush the enemy and to keep Imperial power in check. (Most likely be used to conquer and then leave a small detachment to oversee while the rest of the legion moves on)
- Death to Horus! Death to the traitor legions!
- PRAISE THE EMPEROR! AVE SOL INVICTUS!

- Late to the party and I don't care:
- >Extremely diplomatic and perceptive, generally inspiring to those around him. Almost preternaturally soothing to the agitated, or able to whip his men into wicked righteous rages.
- However, despite being strong tactically, he is rather easily fooled, so reliant on strong advisers, intelligence, and generally weak minded opponents. Not a genius in any stretch, but against average foes, he can run circles around them.
- > The Telestial Specters
- > Primarily focused on recon, much of the 'heavy lifting' is performed by the Imperial Navy, or non-humans led to combat. When actually drawn into combat, a focus on scouts and air support is key. Mobile, low impact combat, generally focused on superior firepower mounted on mobile platforms.
- Excessive use of landspeeders prefered to bikes, assault marines to drop pods, and stormravens to landraiders.
- >In Nikea he remaind primarily silent. Loyalty to the Emporer was a stable maxim, but the whispers of the warp were strong, and Magnus rather convincing. After the Heresy, Librarians were seen as a great advantage, regrettable resulting in many new fallen. In a time post-Heresy, an internal edict was made to abolish psykers, but the primarchs own strong warp affinity made this difficult, and an uneasy "truce" was made, wherein Chaplains are largely responsible for keeping an eye on the few Librarians.
- >Much of the legion was split. Honor bound to help defend Terra and the Emperor, but susceptible to the whispers of the warp, The Telestial Specters found themselves largely on both sides of the war, with the Primarch luckily landing with Loyalists. Most traitors within the legion were slain during combat, tricked into tactically unsound positions simply to hold off loyalists long enough for larger traitor legions to steam roll them.
- Profound orators, subtle and swift fighters, but dangerous susceptible to the lure of the warp, they are often put against non-warp threats.
- tl;dr; don't bother

- >describe your powers as a primarch
- Enormous feet, impatience, vomiting and nosebleeds at inopportune moments
- >what is the name of your legion?
- The Emperor's Soles (we stomp shit out son)
- >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
- Send in the tanks, mop up with infantry. If there are any walls involved, we will bust through them with the largest vehicles we can get our hands on. Any survivors found are placed on the ground and curb-stomped via use of portable curbs we bring along with us in the event that curbs are not available in the warzone
- Also, Bolters for infantry are earned in right of passage, and not standard issue: all troops are issued chainswords and bolt pistols, once they prove themselves able, they get a gun that doesn't suck.
- >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?
- I don't give a shit, big Emps does what he wants. We just stomp shit out and fuck things up with tanks.
- >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
- LOYALIST
- mostly because I want to show those asshole World Eaters that they aren't worth shit in close combat and that we kick more ass.

- There are enough of them for that and we have enough people for civ quests. I will just compile all this stuff in a PDF for you guys and drop a paste bin in a few.

- Well. This shit is going to be over ten pages. It will take a while, but I won't stop until I am done.
- If anyone wants some write faggotry of their legion or a legion that they like on here, that's cool. If it's good enough I will put it in the codex.
