  1. you are now a primarch based on your own personality traits
  2.  
  3. during the time of the great crusade, the emperor finds you and realizes you are one of his lost sons, albeit perhaps a lazy one
  4.  
  5. after some ordeal he gives you command of your own legion whose astartes were sired using your genestock

  17. >Knights of Malta
  18. >Heavy tanks, heavy artillery, heavy use of terminator armor(especially Pratorian-pattern) and heavy troop drops. Keeps a large Admech presence to maintain everything.
  19. >Psychers are a tool to be utilized, not absconded
  20. >Ave Imperator, death to the warmaster and his traitorous kin
  21. I also admit I would be very much against Gulliman's proposal to split the legions since I'd be too much in love with the titans by that point.

  42. A great capacity to learn and teach, devotion to properly managing planets under my control to ensure maximum productivity and conditions, greater than average strength
  43.  
  44. [REDACTED] =][=
  45.  
  46. 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
  47.  
  48. Psykers are a danger and must be researched so that we can properly utilize them and learn to counter enemy sorcerers powers
  49.  
  50. The emperor, he and Horus may have been tied in the whole is a bigger dick stakes with Guilliman bringing up third but he is the one I swore to follow and the best hope for humanity

  104. >describe your powers as a primarch
  105. 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.
  106.  
  107. >what is the name of your legion?
  108. The Argent Comets.
  109.  
  110. >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
  111. 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.
  112.  
  113. >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?
  114. We're all psykers to an extent, and I like Magnus' desire to preserve knowledge. I'd support him.
  115.  
  116. >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
  117. That would depend on how the Emperor treated me personally.
  118.  
  119. Pic is close to what my boys would wear.

  122. >describe your powers as a primarch
  123. Fantastic navigation, perceptive, knowledgeable. Revered as a moderator of debates.
  124.  
  125. >what is the name of your legion?
  126. The Gray Owls
  127.  
  128. >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
  129. 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.
  130.  
  131. >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?
  132. 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.
  133.  
  134. >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
  135. Can I go rogue? If not, the emperor just because chaos looks slimy and unappealing. I would prefer to serve humanity before the emperor.
  136. >>
  137. Argent Comets Primarch 08/10/13(Sat)06:28 No.26540758

  139. Wanted to add that I make use of my psykers in both attack phases: diviners to help aim the big guns and the rest into the fire swinging those lovely force swords.
  140.  
  141. I myself wield a power greataxe and a lascannon.

  144. >describe your powers as a primarch
  145.  
  146. Sharp, Quick witted. Able to channel rage for short bursts. Pride, the somewhat blinding kind. Ability to not respond to pain.
  147.  
  148. >what is the name of your legion?
  149.  
  150. The Reborn
  151.  
  152. >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
  153.  
  154. Extreme pride. Quick wits and a habit for individualism but still group orientated. Make use of small elite squads and massive amounts of long range and orbital strikes.
  155.  
  156. >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?
  157.  
  158. The more power, the better. having a devoted psyker makes a team just that much better.
  159.  
  160. >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
  161.  
  162. Emperor, Horus stands for all that would ruin our lifestyle.

  201. That everyone needs to take a damn chill pill. "NO PSYKERS!" "ALL PSYKERS!" Let the individual Legions keep their Librarians or not keep 'em, I like the guys myself. Rein Magnus in a little if he's overdoing it and someone slap Leman if keeps running his damn mouth any more I swear.

  316. 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.
  317.  
  318. My legion is the Brothers of Sol
  319.  
  320. My legion is all about armour. Fellblades, Predators, Whirlwinds, and Vindicators. Our motorpool is the envy of the other Legions.

  322. Psykers are mutants, but they are a grim necessity. Our librarium is stunted and closely watched, and our astropaths are never unsupervised.

  324. 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.

  375.  
  376. I'd be a excellent duellist and sweet talker, witty, crafty and manipulating but honest and honourable to my opponents or comrades. I guess as a more notable primarch ability I'd have quick reflexes and a good shot.

  380. Probably call them 'crew' but otherwise default legion number.

  383.  
  384. People often describe me as a mix between Captain Jack and Barbossa. As a negative/positive (depending on the situation), deranged and a bit loopy but clear headed in the things I know.
  385.  
  386. Tactics would involve naval warfare, stealth, lightning warfare, sabotage.
  387.  
  388. >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?

  390. Probably completely disregard them as I need psykers to find wealth and powerful artefacts
  391.  
  392. >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
  393.  
  394. 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. Afterwards I'd probably end up as a one of the largest pirates in the galaxy with all sorts of crew types, including my original crew marines and somehow being corrupted or cursed in someway.
  395.  
  396. Would still exist in the 41st raiding worlds and ships looking for things that would aid me, pretty neutral towards the whole chaos and imperial thing and often fight in the warp against all manner of things.

  460. 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.
  461.  
  462. 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.

  470. 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.
  471.  
  472. 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.
  473.  
  474. Will not subject my realm to his laws.
  475.  
  476. >also, what would your response/comments have been to the way Lorgar and his word bearers approached the crusade?
  477.  
  478. 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.
  479.  
  480. 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.

  719. 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.
  720.  
  721. 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.
  722. -Emperor's Blades
  723. -Comprised largely of scouts. Focused on fast movement and hit & run tactics. Medium to short ranged weaponry.
  724. -Psykers are useful, but should be kept under close supervision.
  725. -The Emperor. The shift to chaos was slow for the traitor legions, but at some point, they had to know what they were getting into.

  820. 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.”
  821.  
  822. >Describe some of your legion's most memorable victories/defeats
  823. 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.
  824.  
  825. >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?
  826. 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.

  892. 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.
  893. >what is the name of your legion?
  894. The Thunder Hawks. Ideally, my legion would be the first to popularise the actual Thunderhawk as an attack craft and transport.
  895. >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?
  896. Curious, and defensive of Magnus's actions.
  897. >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
  898. 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.

  1007. Sided with Chaos because I was mostly socializing with Horus and Alpharius. Neve rliked the Imperial Fists with their honourable straight forward kind of warfare, so my traitors mostly harass the Black Templars and their shitty crusades these days. Chaos Undivided, because if you go full retard, you might as well do it right.

  1099. >Powers as a primarch
  1100. 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.
  1101. >Name of the Legion
  1102. Grey Brothers. It's bland, boring, forgettable. Exactly what we want to be. Symbol should be something equally forgetable.
  1103. >Main Tactics
  1104. 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.
  1105. >Main Characteristics
  1106. 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.
  1107. > As the primarch where do you stand on the council of nikea issue
  1108. Psykers are a useful resource.
  1109. >During the time of the Heresy who would you side with.
  1110. 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?)

  1187. 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.
  1188. >what is the name of your legion?
  1189. The Paradox
  1190. >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
  1191. 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.

  1193. Should that even fail, mass heavily armored vehicles and infantry to take out the main command post.
  1194. >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?

  1228. >what is the name of your legion?
  1229. Aurum Knights
  1230. >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
  1231. Tactics focus on heavy assaults (involving armoured speeders and tanks), siege-breaking (especially melee action), and naval combat. The Primarch's specific zeal for swordsmanship and riding means all marines of this legion are capable riders and swordsmen.
  1232. >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?
  1233. We accept the Lord Father's decision, though our own initial use of the Librarian system proved effective and certainly we were not averse to the concept of instituting an academy of sanctioned Warp-capable marines (under tight security, of course).

  1284. Emperor's Judgement
  1285. Orderly and systematic eradication of the enemy through tried and true tactics employed by other more successful legions.
  1286. I obey the Emperor's will, it is not my place to question his judgement.

  1316. 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)
  1317. Death to Horus! Death to the traitor legions!
  1318. PRAISE THE EMPEROR! AVE SOL INVICTUS!

  1324. Late to the party and I don't care:
  1325.  
  1326. >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.
  1327. 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.
  1328. > The Telestial Specters
  1329. > 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.
  1330. Excessive use of landspeeders prefered to bikes, assault marines to drop pods, and stormravens to landraiders.
  1331.  
  1332. >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.
  1333. >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.
  1334.  
  1335. Profound orators, subtle and swift fighters, but dangerous susceptible to the lure of the warp, they are often put against non-warp threats.
  1336.  
  1337. tl;dr; don't bother

  1349. >describe your powers as a primarch
  1350. Enormous feet, impatience, vomiting and nosebleeds at inopportune moments
  1351. >what is the name of your legion?
  1352. The Emperor's Soles (we stomp shit out son)
  1353. >what are its main tactics/characteristics?
  1354. 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
  1355. 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.
  1356. >as a primarch, where do you land on the whole council of nikaea issue?
  1357. I don't give a shit, big Emps does what he wants. We just stomp shit out and fuck things up with tanks.
  1358. >at the time of the heresy, who do you side with?
  1359. LOYALIST
  1360. 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.

  1387. 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.
