So i read about this Hive Fleet Atlas
do you know anything about it?

Perhaps a traitor guard regiment?
We're setting up for a crossover crusade. Probably too early to tackle it head-on, but we should at least outline stuff like motives, alliances, etc.

>>15096655
Atlas was renamed Nidhoggr. /tg/ decision.

I have always wondered about An actually Space Marine Chapter based on Knights Ya'know? The Fantasy Paladin Knightly type, Honourable and pious, while also humble.

Always thought a Successor Chapter for the Dark Angels would work, instead of just being against the Fallen, they see all those dishonourable and malicious as a stain on their honour and they could work like the Salamanders and the such as being a Chapter that seeks to help those of the imperium, instead of being douches.

Knights of the Lion I'd call them, though I think too many spesh mareen chapters are posted up, just wanted throw this out there, Because Non-grimmendarkan things are always good!

>>15096698
See, my problem with another SM Chapter
it's
We already have a fuckton of Chapters, really
and alot of them are not fully well fleshed
and btw
Emperor's Bears thread here>
http://archive.easymodo.net/tg/thread/14356904

Is there a wiki specific for 40/tg/?

>>15096729
Exactly why I said that, but Hey, never saw the whole "Knights of the round table" angle thrown around with Space Marines, they could fit the bill pretty well.

... How about a Grimdark Tau faction? No derp involved, but balls out "The Universe is a shitty place, and we're packing the biggest guns" badass Xenos.

>>15096729

Have my horrifying babies. THE EMPEROR'S BEARS ARE SAVED!

But since nobody seemed to really care about them enough to archive them, I guess we should keep them lost in the warp or something.

Anyhoo, a guy dumped a bunch of old Imperial Guard shit. Since his thread has nearly reached page 15 and never really went anywhere, I'll just copy paste it to here.

'Sup /tg/, just caught wind of our burgeoning efforts to make a new regiment of Imperial Guard in our recent frenzy of creativity:
>>15086122
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/15086122/

Good show, gentlemen. Always good to see quality contributions.
However, you guys reminded me of some of /tg/'s earlier efforts at creating Guardsmen regiments, some with their own crunch in the bargain:

The Eclipsion Terrorguard, a Chaotic Lost and the Damned army influenced by Silent Hill aesthetic, with ties to the Word Bearers. Archived back in 2008.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/1316306/
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/1321750/

The Mantis Legion, a regiment with greater amounts of psykers than normal, formed at the behest of the Inquisitor Lords of Nemesis Tessera. Archived in 2009.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/3931590/

The Jopall Indentured Regiment, which is apparently canon. Each trooper has joined the Guard to pay off massive debts to the planetary government, which makes them somewhat obsessed with acquiring money by any means necessary. Archived in April 2010.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/9395826/

The Hatamotan War Widows, an all-female regiment in the Oriental-inspired vein of the Rising Sons SM Chapter. It would be really cool to somehow work them into the Yamato subsector. Archived in October 2010.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/12383837/

we need more things that aren't space marines


we need our own order of bolter bitches!

>>15096750
I know that the Brotherhood of the Gauntlet was supposed to be a "Knightly" Chapter, but evolved past that i believe
not really following the thread

>>15096749
Currently, there is only 1d4chan's tg_40k. I honestly don't think there is enough fluff (lots of Crunch though, so much crunch) to perfect the Tiji sector.

>>15096756
I'm into that. Just bought some Tau off ebay so mitebecool

>>15096749

http://1d4chan.org/wiki//tg/_40,000

>>15096756

I always liked the idea of Tau based on WWII Japan.
Something like the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere... In Spaaaaaace.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_East_Asian_Co-Prosperity_Sphere

Either that, or Viet Cong/Viet Minh Tau.

the last /tg/40,000 thread had a suggestion for some renegade marines called the Adamant Consulars which were basicly SCIENCE MARINES! that hated the admech's stagnation, and with their isolation off in the fringe its easy to see them going renegade and supplementing their forces with guardsmen.

I think it'd be a cool to have a high tech faction of mixed SM and guard.

>>15096829
We can use the Warband Charts.

>>15096829

...So Mentors?

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Mentors

>>15096870
Also Shock
i'd like to bring attention to this Klan

>>15094763

How about something a little different from normal? I'm thinking something along the lines of a Chaos Guard Super Heavy Tank division.

>>15096870
something like that I guess, though let me see if i can dig up the thread to repost the basic fluff... or it can not be archived. Well fuck.

Here's what I remember. The Adamant Consulars homeworld is way of in the fringe of the Imperial space and the only reason the Imperium was interested in the world was because it had an abusrd about of adamantium to be mined and had liquid methane and hydrocarbons that formed lakes and rivers in the craggy peaks and valleys.

The chapter themselves viewed all knowledge as having come from the Emperor, and that the Omnissiah was just the aspect of the emperor as an inventor. This extends to xeno tech, they think it was all stolen from man and they need to get it back and purify it so it can properly serve mankind once again. Further more, the AdMech's whole thing of giving offerings to machinespirits is viewed as on the same level as bribing a man with food and booze to do what you want. Instead they think that like any respectable servant of the Emperor, the machine spirit only wishes to better serve. So refining old technologies and innovating new technologies is seen as holy and such.

Also they use tower power-shields with combat shotguns or gamma ray laser rifles when in battle.

Basicly the AdMech would never tolerate them and would do everything in their power to have them excommunicated, so when thrown out on their own they'd have to bolster their forces with normal humans.

>>15096941
you can try using these charts
http://pastebin.com/BPxkKj7d
you just have to add Heretic on the loyalty

If we could get someone to make Rites of Battle-style tables for the major factions, that would be nice.

Space Marine Chapters and CSM Warbands are covered, but things for Ork Waaaaghs, Guard Regiments, Hive Fleets, Craftwords, Kabals, Tomb Worlds, and whatever the fuck an individual Tau unit is called would be nice.

Covern of the withered vine.

A covern of Dark Eldar Haemonculi who try a spot of gardening.

Imagine it, Dryad-wrecks! Flesh and Flora given twisted new from!

Blossoms that spray toxic pollen, lashing razor vines!

A whole sub-realm as a beautiful but deadly garden!

>>15097016
as i said one post before
IG Charts are here
http://pastebin.com/BPxkKj7d
Orks Charts according to the Ork thread here
http://pastebin.com/nfhw86Yb

the others we'll still have to do

>>15097016

I'm pretty sure someone made Guardsman and Orks ones. No idea about the rest though.

>>15096898

Well, they certainly look interesting. When I was younger, I had such a huge boner for the Da Red Gobbo and his Grot Rebellion. Good old Gorkamorka (although I'm pretty sure GW stopped making it by the time I started actually collecting shit)

rolled 75 = 75

>>15096781

Does anybody know enough about the Sisters to make a chart for them, much less flesh them out?

>>15097016
so yeah i'm reading about Tau Hunter Cadres, but really i know shitfuck about them, so it's better to someone make a chart for them

>>15096980
TOWER POWER SHIELDS!

that's awesome

So, lesse...

Craftworlds.
Hive Fleets.
Tomb Worlds.
Kabals.
Tau Worlds?

>>15097221
>Zemoo - A xeno world with potential Kroot presence. Suspected to be a Tau listening / research post.

Theres your Tau world in the tiji sector.

>>15097221
Hunter Cadres i believe it's the theme

I had a (shitty) idea for a group of Space Marine Chapters - the Penitent Eight.

Eight Chapters, each mysteriously founded by an "Unknown Primarch." They're loyalist Chapters from the Traitor Legions, formed from the Night Lords, Death Guard, Thousand Sons, World Eaters, Iron Warriors, Emperor's Children, Word Bearers and Alpha Legion.

They'd basically be what the original Legions *should* have been like, with the Word Bearers being rational atheists, the Night Lords humanitarian vigilantes, the World Eaters being brave melee combatants, etc., etc.

I've already fleshed out the Night Lords' loyalist Chapter, and could easily do more. What do you think, /tg/? Is it gay enough to work? Or is it too gay?

>>15097285
It could work, although that kind of thing seems more fun for individual characters more than full chapters.

Hive Fleet Xolotl
A strain of tyranids unlike any other seen. Rather than simply stripping a world clean of life, they stay for decades and devour everything the world has to offer till only a crumbling dead husk of only the most useless materials remain.

The morphology is distinct too, this hivefleet has almost feather like growths of radiant azure and teal crystal that crackle with internal lightning. These growths are not for mere show, no these beasts can lauch bolts of thunder at their foes.

What few samples have been recovered from the 'hiveworlds' they create have shown that the crystal is a super conducter at commonly found temperatures. With this in mind, it has been posited that the reason they mine planets bare is to aqquire enough materials to allow them to field such biomorphs.

>>15097418
AZTEC LIGHTNING NIDS

takemymoney.jpg

>>15096756

Approval of this is found.

>>15097418
... Dear god, if Nidhoggr and Xolotl got into a Fleet War...

The end result would be Nidds on fire that breathe lightning.

... Nahh. I think Nidhoggr is still cool.

>>15097429
and what next?

Ice nids?
Water nids?
darkness/normal nids?
nids are not pokeymans.

if you want to go for a pokemon type, try poison or something.

very biomechanical, gigeresque nids that spew poison through every orifice, are covered in glands, organic tubes and chimneys, reproduce at a high rate and swarm with all kinds of small organisms and symbionts. Nids as they should be: about advanced biotechnology.

>>15097441
they are both cool, they each of their own elementalish niche

Xolotl should probably be resistant to plasm weapons thanks to having fuck huge magnetic fields around them.

>>15097463
and whats wrong about nids that use biotech to make them into walking lightning guns?

>>15097486
/too/ niche, not nid-related enough (there are only the trygons that use this), too limited (or if you try to adapt it to every nid, it ends up not looking nid anymore, but that's something I reproach Nidhoggr with, too.)

>>15097463
In the defense of both fleets:
Nidhoggr is capable of destroying a planet in mere hours, if not days upon their incarnation of Tyrannoformation.

Xolotl could... Well, I know for a fact that EMP's are still a bitch in the 40,000 Millenia.

With enough fleshing out, both could be awesome.

Tau players could you please say the name of the "Regiment" of the Tau?

>>15097507
what does their power have to do with the fact that they're clumsy ideas?

>>15097505
it was only a small representation that needs to be better fluffed out.

At the core, I think the concept of biotechnology lightning weapons are awesome. If nids can make plasma than they can certainly do lightning.

Also, nids are supposed to be able to adapt absurdly fast along the path the hivemind/norn queens choose, so it's pretty retarded that most of them come out looking the same.

>>15097535

Clumsy idea? I wouldn't necessarily call it that...

Definitely needs to be fleshed out, I can agree to, but I honestly don't see how it's 'clumsy'.

And no, this isn't just Nidhoggr Pride. I honestly just wanted Nids with Flamers. Then this happened, and I enjoyed it.

>>15097541
precisely: if you put the same electricity-related (or fire-related) biotechnology on every nid, doesn't that make them more uniform than before? I mean, not as a whole, but within the hive-fleet.

and it should be the contrary: if they can produce electric arcs, why can't they rather produce over-heated, hyper-ionised gas that is far more efficient than this?

>>15097574
because you electro-lasers have a lot better range and do not require as complex a mechanism to function

>>15097564
What I find clumsy is to say "they're fire-related=>they look like they're made out of magma" without finding a solid explanation first. I provided you with one: silicon-based organism as a reference to Aliens, that requires extremely high temperatures to function. and that works for most of what I've observed with them.

>>15097574
>Also, nids are supposed to be able to adapt absurdly fast along the path the hivemind/norn queens choose, so it's pretty retarded that most of them come out looking the same.

imokaywiththis.jpg

Every nid evolution always has a reason behind it. The Lictor is a perfect example.
tl;dr, read the Ghorala Swarm.

>>15097598
WELCOME TO 40K FAGGOT, IT RUNS ON THE RULE OF COOL

IF YOU ARE GOING TO BITCH ABOUT THAT YOU OBLIGATED TO BITCH ABOUT CHAINSWORDS, ORKS, AND WARP-MAGIC

>if they can produce electric arcs, why can't they rather produce over-heated, hyper-ionised gas that is far more efficient than this?

Wrong copy pasta.

>>15097598

And I thanked you for that.

>>15097589
my point still stands: you need to broaden the theme. Making them a reference to aztec mythos is good, and that needs to be expanded even more, because centering them around a piece of equipment (arc nodes here, flamers for the nids) requires more asspulling to be adapted to each case, than a wider theme.

>>15097610
I AM PRECISELY SAYING THAT IT'S LESS COOL THAN OTHER IDEAS.

>>15097633
ok then, I am perfectly cool with that

>>15097647
Feelings. Hurt.

:C

Excuse me as I go devour a planet in my depression.

>>15097574
Easy way to keep it from coming off clumsy is to balance out what you want with drawbacks. So you've got this hive fleet that has a hardon for electricity? Only a few units are large enough to be able to generate the power needed to shoot lightning, most units will just give you a bad shock if they can touch you. Also all the electricity fucks with the 'Nids ability to control and coordinate their armies so they have to field greater numbers of synapse creatures to keep equal numbers of troops in check compared to other hive fleets.

>>15097666
you sir are awesome

Xolotl Hive brother, shall we make a separate thread for both of our fleets?

You do indeed need to start developing a backstory. Thankfully, Tiji sector pretty much gave me mine.

>>15097666
consensus achieved.

Mention adaptability problems
Widen the themes
Find plausible explanations

>>15097695
Maybe in a bit. I want to mull on things a bit more.

It was a bit of a spur of the moment idea

>>15097709
iknowthatfeelbro.jpg

Nidhoggr, Xolotl, good job. You guys can be friends.

Anyone here well-versed enough in Tau or Dark Eldar fluff to make tables? Those two sound the most interesting.

>>15097770
dark eldars already have six covens being developed. They're not a priority.

Someone mentioned the idea of badass Tau.

How about this? A kind of Tau inquisition... a special branch of the military that answers solely to the ethereals and not to any other military commander, operating in secret to keep a close eye on the warriors of Tau to ensure that another Farsight doesn't happen.

They could be like Tau special forces, better trained fire-warrior commandos backed up by squads of stealthsuits.

No tanks, No crisis suits, no kroot, no vespid.

Just incredibly mobile, stealthy infantry with obscene firepower and the stats to actually make it worthwhile?

They can have a secret base on Tau's moon or something

>>15097797
we need some bolter bitches

>>15097797
I just meant tables to roll on.

>>15097814
Some like a Tau section 9?

Remeber there is no Tau number for 9, so any rumor of a so called Caste 9 are clearly flase.

>>15097824
This.

>>15097836
tau use a base 8 number system? I didn't know that.

>>15097824

>bolter bitches

How about some kind of mechanicus sisterhood?

Makes no sense... but cyborg power armoured bolter bitches?

What's not to like?

>>15097849

They only got 4 fingers on each hand

>>15097770
I'm Studying Hard the Tau fluff and i've come with few ideas but i will probally only do the Charts tomorrow

>>15097814
I was thinking about two possibilities

either medieval badass taus, dunno, dudes from the Farsight enclaves, who fight with large nearly weeaboo cleaver-swords, and are even more asian-inspired (not only Japan, mind you) and have re-adopted their ancient traditions as an alternative to the Greater Good.

Or cyberpunk taus, pic related. Mostly rebels from the earth caste who managed to rally other guys to their cause. Gasmasks to protet themselves from the pheromones, cyberdecks, bionics...Thought we could also mention them having to deal with the surge of AI individuality and possibly drone rebellion.

>>15097868
oh captcha eated my nick
whatever, just to let people know

>>15097824

Christ, I hate the term "Bolter Bitches".

But yes, we definetly need some Sisters of Battle around, hopefully not getting worn as hats by Grey Knights.

another cyberpunk tau.
a bit more shamanistic, this time

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over how Matt Ward my hat is.

>>15097935

Welp.

>>15097854
...that would be fucking amazing

The idea of a small Tau force dedicated to fighting the horrors of the Warp and keeping the population unaware of it would be fun.

TAU DELTA GREEN

>>15098086

Don't the Tau know jackshit about chaos though? Hell, if I remember correctly, they believe they've killed Slaanesh.

>>15098109
Ethereal propaganda to keep the people believing in Tau supremacy. These guys have seen shit.

>>15098116
Shas'ui or higher, use experimental battlesuits, borrowed Imperial tech...

Delicious.

>>15098236
gaise?
>>15097874

>>15098292
Sorry, I'm a Nid/Ork expert, as much as I love your drawings, Tau's are not my forte.

>>15097874
FUCK YEAR

Still working on the 27th Arianus Regiment. There's the barest bit of fluff, and a piece of Writefaggotry, but that's it.
>>15086122

>>15098292
Cyberpunk Chaos-killing Tau Spec Ops?

I approve. Do Tau have AI?

>>15096801
Seconding Vietcong Tau. Make them realize the grimdarkness of the universe and make them something like a postapoc sept.

Also, wheee new 'nid hive fleet! BLOOD AND THUNDER!

>>15098456
they have the drones. Advanced AIs that are neeeearly self-conscious, and can develop hiveminds to increase their capacities. Tachikomas, if you wish.

>>15098116
>>15098543
What about some Tau deep black ops cadre that exists to provoke attacks on the Empire so that dissent over expansion is quelled? Perhaps they're called in to 'pacify' and 'integrate' xenos allies too?

i'd like to see some tau that started to play with genetic engineering to create new, niche castes

>>15098686
Tau and Dark Eldar buddies?

>>15098716
lol that'd be hilarious to have DE trolling the tau by pretending to be friends

>>15098686
inb4 Tau elementals

>>15098750
as if that isn't awesome

>>15098727
"The Greater Good? All of you are obediant to asmall ruling caste? Eager to serve? Please, tell me more!"

So, this is the thread to show off your homebrew 40k stuff and try to get it added to /tg/ canon? Sounds cool to me. I'm not seeing a lot of Ork stuff. Also cool for me seeing as I've got some stuff regarding them.

Namely, CyBoss Makatik Flash-Eye, da Cog-'eaded Brainiak uv da Yello' Jaketz Warband. He was once a Bad Moon nob working his way up the ranks like a proper Ork. Namely krumping anybody who looked at him wrong and being the most killy in a fight. That all changed once the Waaagh ran into a fortress station of the Dark Mechanicus. It was a fully self-sufficient outpost of that heretical sect discovered in an asteroid belt that the Orks were busy converting into Roks. The Orks were pleasantly surprised they got the chance to keep the WAAAGH going even in the depths of space. The subsequent battle left Nob Makatik with trophies from dozens of cybernetic horrors and half his head blown off. So he did the obvious thing and went to the Dok with some gubbinz so that he could get a bionic bonce. Unknown to all parties involved, those Dark Mechanicus gubbinz housed a malevolent AI. When Makatik woke up from the surgery he was gifted with a right flashy new bionic eye, a lot of smarts and a new resident in his head. To say this drove him mad would be an understatement. Fortunately for him, it was not the drooling stupidly kind of mad but the brilliant kind. His gift turned him into a sort of Mekboy overnight and allowed him to scheme his way to becoming the boss.

>>15098923

Once he was the Boss, his mechanical side noticed something that very, very few other Bosses ever noticed before. The Grotz outnumbered the Boyz 3 to 1. He'd gotten to be boss through all sorts of unorky shenanigans that revolved around getting all the Nobz and the Boss to kill each other through trickery and was not about to let the same thing happen to him. Loyalty is what he needed and he wasn't going to get it from the Boyz. Other Orks would try to kill him and take his seat as the Boss. This was natural and Orky and he couldn't change that. What he could do is use a very underutilized resource. he made the Grots love him and revere him like zealots. He did this buy making them guns. He had all the technical prowess of a Mek due to his enhancement, so he churned Grot-scale weaponry by the millions. They boyz didn't get why the Boss was making such puny dakka because they didn't understand that the Boss hadn't made the guns for them. The Grots were given guns and they got the chance to push around the Orks. The Orks didn't like that one bit. It would have turned into an all out Ork vs. Grot war if the Boss wasn't there to keep things in order. Just as Orks get bigger as they kill things, the Grots grew meaner. The most seasoned of the Boss's Grot Bully squads were crack-shots whom reveled in being cruel and inflicting pain on others. They were all fanatically devoted to the Boss because he was the reason why the Grots got the chance to become fighters in the first place.

>>15098932

So yeah, Boss with a computer in his brain decides to turn his Grots into zealots to insure his power for years to come. I've been coming up with homebrew rules and stuff for the Grot Bully squads as well as converting a few models. They have the temperament of WHFB Hobgoblins and visually they look like one part Night Goblins and one part Death Corps of Krieg. Black, pointy hoods and gas masks. Plus they are equipped with Grot-Zappas that look sorta like Proton Packs from Ghostbusters that shoot arc lightning.

>>15097874
>re-adopted their ancient traditions as an alternative to the Greater Good.

Isn't that "Kill everyone that isn't us"

>>15099067
preeetty much

I still prefer the Anti-Chaos Tau Black-ops Strike force.

Maybe they even if they dont know jack shit about what is chaos or the warp they are the company responsible to take care of anything involved with what they believe is the warp or something like that

>>15098543
Thirding the Viet Tau. Out of all the races in the galaxy I think Guerrilla Tactics are most fitting with the Tau. They have being space-Asians, Communists, Small-Numbered, idealistic, stealthy and patient all on their side.

>>15099315
So either Anti-chaos black ops tau

OR Viet-tau

Either both are pretty good

>>15099373
Why not make two distinct Tau septs? One for the Viet-taus, and one for the Section 9.

the viet-tau should probably a good bit of kroot (that don't suck)

>>15099391
I'm thinking cardres or cadre groups. Sept is just too big for a gimmick

Viet tau would work as a sept. Black ops as a cadre

>>15099514
agreed

they need to have been stranded for some stretch of time on a world that was vietnam-like against a suitably MURICA like foe (IG?)

>>15099523
Catachans vs. Viet Tau.

thread archived

>>15099554
wouldn't that put the catachan's far from home? Well i suppose they are deployed all over the place though.

>>15099523
Maybe they were trying to colonize a imperial planet when suddenly a warp storm hit and destroyed most of their fleet for both the tau and the IG.

They each had very large ground forces deployed but with no reinforcements coming or any idea of what the fuck happened they resorted for guerrilla tactics

The black ops cadre was created and dispatched to the sector to investigate and eliminate any reason of the warp storm or chaos influence or something like that

>>15099582
Black ops could be an interplanetary thing. No need to confine them to a single system. Don't they actually exist in fluff, wonky and obscure as it is?

>>15099618
well like any blackops team, they are completely deniable assets

So, ideas on the Tau:

1. Tau Viet Cong
2. Tau Section 9
3. Tau non-conformist rebels

Without further ado, I say we get crunching on some of those.

>>15099647
i am also kinda for the idea of a tau cadre created though an "alliance" between the tau some trollish dark eldar coven working some inscrutable plan

>>15099647
Viet - kroot, FW allday erry day. "What is support?"
Black ops - FW vets, fast attack-(thinking of my delicious pirhanas), SS, drones? sinper teams?

>>15099665
Wouldn't that need custom units or somesuch?

>>15099647
the rebels are the earthcaste cyberpunk ones right?

>>15099647
I will fluff up the Delta Green anti-Warp Tau.

>>15099686
well it'd just be mostly existing tau units with slightly different gear or altered attributes

the dark eldar are only there to provide an explantion of the genetic engineering required to make a niche caste

>>15099688
Kinda hard seeing them dealing with anything.
Forces - drones, drones, drones, tanks. Would need custom units.

>>15099705
Aren't the 'other' eldar already doing it?

>>15099724
well if they are then that could explain why the dark eldar want in on it too

>>15099724
Oh good lord. Proxy war between Eldar and DEldar through the Tau.

Communists? Proxy fighting? Expansionism? IT'S THE FUCKING COLD WAR IN SPACE

>>15099724
Then it would be perfect trolling from the Deldar side.

>>15099737
TAKE MY MONEY!

>>15099724
>>15099737
Good lord, yes.

>>15099750
The two sides fight, and then the Spec Ops guys try to reclaim it all for the Ethereals.

Three. Way. Cold. War.

>>15099775
BRILLIANT

>>15099775
But where? Where would such a glorious thing occur?

Are there Tau in the Tiji Sector?

>>15099819
we can just make a new sector

we have plenty of other things that need places to go as well

>>15099315
>Guerrilla Tactics are most fitting with the Tau
I think it would fit Chaos even better. Small group of idealists waging war against the opressor Imperium. Blood Pact partisans and all that.

>>15099872
we could always use some traitor guard regiments

>>15099876
Suggestions:

Chaos Tallarns - Iraqi insurgent forces in SPACE

Chaos Vostroyans - Winter War in SPACE

Chaos Cadians(?) - Forest Brothers in SPACE

? - Chechens in SPACE

>>15099902
i think we should try a little harder than that

I know Kriegers are not nazis but...

Chaos Kriegers - Werwolf in SPACE.

>>15099912
Nurgle Kriegers. The idea makes me happy.

>>15099902
>Chaos Vostroyans - Winter War in SPACE

Vallhallans. Also, sad attempt

>>15099912
I don't know if you've read "The Man with the Iron Heart", but "In Space" version of that would totally be "have all my monies and my first born child"-material.

>>15099912
Think about it, lad. Insurgents and guerillas rely on mobility to win their battles. Now ask yourself, what do Kriegers specialize in?

>>15099912

There isn't a single Nazi regiment out there. And if you say Steel Legion, I raise you Wehrmacht wasn't Nazi.

But Nazi stormtroopers as a regular Storm Troopers variant would be cool. And one must not forget about ridiculous pants, riding crops and Wagner.

>>15099933
Naw, Valhallans are Soviets. Vostroyans are white Russians.

Yeah, I know, just throwing ideas around.

>>15099949

Nope. Mordians are Whites, Vostoryans are Cossacks.

And restyled tachanka-riding Catachans as Daddy Makhno's boys. We can even leave the anarchism there, Makhno wasn't all that anarchist anyway.

>>15099941
Well, does a country exist which made its army in guerilla tactics in mind? It's usually that the forces resort to guerilla warfare when it is the only change to win, normally because the armed forces are so few.

And what is the ideology of the Kriegers? Never give up.

i'd like to see chaos guard regiments that fall as intermediates between the chaos gods that aren't opposed (nurgle-khorne, khorne-tzeentch, tzeentch-slaanesh, slaanesh-nugle)

the khorne-tzeentch kinds could use traps to bog down their enemy and then close from nowhere to murder things in close combat

>>15099969
>Vostoryans are Cossacks.
Brotip: Cossacks supported the Czar.

>>15099971

Democratic Kampuchea. That is, Cambodia under Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot. They were also grimdark as fuck.

Also Yugoslav partisans.

>>15099971
Dig in, shoot with big guns until nothing moves. Quite boring really.

>>15099973
nurgle-slaanesh chaos guad as "WE LOVE CHEMICAL WARFARE"

>>15099977

Cossacks supported everyone during the Civil War. They're not a unified polity or anything.

>>15099984
>Also Yugoslav partisans.
>Yugoslav partisans
>partisans
Yeah.

Yugoslav war was grimdark as fuck as well, by the way.

>>15099949
Winter war. A war between U.S.S.R and Finland.
And valhallans do not fit because...`?

>>15099971
Not so much as standing your ground so god damn firm that you literally die standing up or attempt to crush the enemy with the weight of your dead/drown them in your own blood.

The Kriegers are the least capable of pulling off a guerilla war unless Entire Planet Ish Trenches!

>>15100000
True, but they were still known as supporters of Czar, and especially after Stalin rose to power they realized what piece of shit communism was and a fuckload of Cossacks supported Germany.

>>15100001
>Yugoslav at any time was grimdark as fuck as well, by the way.
FTFY

>>15100001

Total National Defense doctrine pretty much meant entire Yugoslavia would take up arms if someone would be so foolish as to invade them. Of course, Yugoslavia had a standing army, but still.

And well, Yugoslav partisans kicked German shit back during WWII.

>>15100007
Valhallans would be the ones getting shot, so they couldn't be the guerillas. I know Vostoyans aren't the best army to represent the Finns, but Mannerheim was a veteran in the White Russias army and...stuff.

simply going TRAITOR <existing guard regiment here> is boring

WE NEED SOMETHING WITH ZAZZ

>>15100015
True. It was shitty when Tito bashed some nationalist skulls, but it turned totally balls to the wall everyone's getting raped when Tito died.

>>15100038
That being the single thing linking to vostroyans. As finnish military tradition originated from Germany. There seems to be no good templates.

This might sound stupid as shit, but this thread reminded me that /tg/ is the best board ever. What about a Traitor "American" regiment? Fighting a series Tau insurrections across their system, a guard regiment turned to the dark gods in order to push back the communist scum. Now they've gone and been declared heretics, but with all the other stuff going on in the sector, they're free to wage their chaos fueled, capitalism backed expansion.

This could also work nicely with the Viet-Tau and the Delta Green Tau up there.

>vicippoc herpes
captcha wishes they be dedicated to Nurgle. Thoughts?

>>15100100
hmm... maybe a mix of slaanesh and nurgle to turn the american stereotypes to 11

otherwise i fucking love it

>>15100100
I always thought Chaos renegades fighting the Tau. Tau manning a human planet, humans rebelling. Infight between pro-Imperial and pro-Chaos insurgents, pro-Chaos win and unite the rebels against the Tau.

Baltic commie rape in Space.

>>15100110
Punctuation, do you know it?

>And well, Yugoslav partisans kicked German shit back during WWII.

Actually, no. They didn't. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they weren't brave for fighting against the Nazis and collaborators in the middle of Nazi occupied Europe, but they didn't defeat the Germans themselves. In pretty much all of those famous seven offensives, the partisans lost, and they are considered strategic victories mostly because they were able to retreat before they were completely annihiliated as a fighting force.

Germans were only finally kicked out of Yugoslavia when the Red Army showed up. Belgrade, the capital of the country, for example, was only liberated when the Red Army came to push back the Germans once and for all.

They were primarily a resistance movement, and they had a great and postiive effect on the war by guerrilla fighting, disrupting shit, etc. They were a much "greater" resistance movement than, say, the most famous one (The French one.), especially when you compare the two countries, but they weren't a real "army" that defeated the Germans themselves.

History;
The Eldar who would become #craftworld departs main body of Eldar Empire in the middle years of M27. Historical carvings and monuments demonstrate that the inhabitants of the original Craftworld were actively seeking new worlds to colonise. Putting them in contact with and infrequently at war with the Human powers of the time. Harsh conditions caused the Eldar to leave behind many ruins. It is assumed they occupied a string of desert worlds before settling in the galatic sector they occupy currently. Though no specific evidence exists to support that theory, a number of old Human strongholds are those same planets. Satellite mapping indicates intense urbanisation and irrigation efforts by the original Human occupants. What occured in the intravening years between M27 and M33 is unknown. Based on the findings as they stand, archeotechs have extracted precious little from the ancient computation machines of the time and all evidence suggests peaceful coexistance initially, followed by some calamity that destroyed much of the planet-belts viability.

>Plenty more where that came from. The above is a very rough draft of just one section of a 6 page document.

>>15100110
You could have them be chaos undivided, and their capitalistic society plays into every god's hands. Basically, have every piece of communist propaganda about 'Merica and capitalism played up to 12. Decadent, bloodthirsty, ruthless both on the battlefield and at the bank. I wanted something a bit different than "They're chaos rebels", and something that would play along with the Tau stuff. Any suggestion would work great with these guys.

>>15100173
I love it. First, we need a name though, something that invokes the feeling of 'MURICA when you hear it.

>>15100173
This image is strangely appropriate...

>>15100183
needs the word "patriots" in it

>>15100183
WOLVERINES

>>15100206
The First and Last Patriots?
Don't know why that came to me, but it kinda reminds me of that "fuck yeah" feeling I get when I'm feeling a little too patriotic.

>>15099695
Choose law enforcement.
Choose the Shas'ar'tol.
Choose the Kor'vattra.
Choose betraying your Ethereal.
Choose Iur'tae'mont.
Choose no friends.
Choose divorce.
Choose life through a bottle of Ky'husa.
Choose destroying evidence and killing innocents because someone read the wrong fucking book.
Choose black fio'dr and a matching gasmask.
Choose a rifle stolen from Stalker Kindred loaded with pulse rounds and range of fucking attachments.
Choose blazing away at mind-numbing, sanity-crushing things from beyond the stars, wondering if you'd be better off stuffing the barrel in your own mouth.
Choose Liber Chaotica and waking up wondering who you are.
Choose a kles'tak retirement plan.
Choose going out with a bang at the end of it all, multi-spectrum encrypting you last message down a classified data channel as a gibbering thing that used to be your comrades busts through the door.
Choose one last night at the opera.

>>15100251
>All sorts of faux-Tau
>One last night at the opera

This made me laugh really, really hard.

>>15100244
That sir is exactly what it needs to be.

>>15100261
Well there have only been two Tau BL books; I didn't really have much to work with making 40k-ified.

>>15100277
First and Last Patriots it is!
What I've thought up for fluff so far:
Once used to be a relatively prosperous and well-populated system in the Tiji sector. Several habitable worlds led to early ideals of expansion and manifest destiny that would later resurface. Definitely an agri-world and a few hives in there. The system excelled in trade, and managed to avoid most of the restrictions the Imperium placed, not in small part because of the amount of stuff being produced. There used to be a strong isolationist sentiment, but that all changed with the Viet-Tau insurrections. The Patriots threw everything they had to beat back the xeno-communist scum, but it wasn't enough. As the intensity of the war effort escalated, the culture of the system slipped into decadence, while it's military became more and more ruthless everyday. Powerful corporations sponsored psyker cults in an effort to eliminate the Tau presence and get consumption back on track. Finally, the First and Last Patriots regiment participated in a great ritual to increase their efforts in combat. Now even more ruthless and efficient, the Patriots kicked the Tau out of the system. The system declared independence from the Imperium, and began a policy of "aggressive containment" against the Tau in the surrounding systems. Now the Imperial Guard, led by the First and Last Patriots, fights the Tau at every possible opportunity while fully embracing the "Truth (of Chaos), Freedom (from Tau and the Imperium) and the Patriot Way."

Tired as all fuck, so who knows if it's any good. Any anons still awake who want to give thoughts?

>>15100294
No man

I loved it

It was just funny that everything else gets Tauified and then there's this utterly human concept of 'opera', it made me laugh

Fucking gue'vesa, man.

Hope the thread's still alive tomorrow. One last bump to catch all late-nighters, and I'm out.

>>15100639
i really think we should put them in their own sector so we don't turn the tiji sector into a clusterfuck. Plus that way we can throw in the order of sisters, orks, and maybe hivefleet xolotl or something

a neighboring sector perhaps?

otherwise FUCKING AMAZING

>>15100794
something like System Forjans? Forxans?

or System Espes Toiy

>>15100889
Forxan works, I quite like it

>>15100910
Well the tiji sector has alot of stuff right now, and i think creating another system for new ideas might be a little too much

How about we just the denizens of Tiji call the neighboring areas of the system Forxan or something

I've always liked the idea of a regiment that has most of its experience fighting demons and chaos. Tought as nails troopers who actively go up against the worst the galaxy has to offer

>>15100949
i guess that works just as well

>>15100960
you mean Cadians?

>>15100949
Maybe they are a few scattered planets that are just little bit too far from the system to cause any relevant changes.

but news about them circulate every now and then thanks to traders and the like

>>15100971
No, like mini-me grey knights but not such douchebags

>>15097854
the Order of the Iron Thorn, based on a world where the ecclisarchy and adeptus mechanicus have somewhat intertwined due to the presence of some shrines and forge facilities that manufacture equipment used by the ecclesiarchy

that way you can have Sisters that are cozy with the AdMech for awesome cyborg parts

>>15101026
call the the Arget Templars just to piss on the GK

>>15101013
we can always expand the map of tiji anyway

also for sisters, what sort of equipment variations could we give them to make them a bit more unique? Like flamers are a bit iconic, but you achieve a similar feel by using acid, rather than purifying by burning they hose down their foes in vitriolic substances (and have thing for golden coloration as gold resists acid fantastically)

one last bumb before i go to bed

also alchemy sisters would be awesome

Oh my, /tg/. This was something awesome to wake up to.

Well, this thread had been amazing. New Guardsmen regiment, three new Tau forces, and interesting scenario for the Eldar, a new Hive Fleet, and potential for more Sisters.

I love you, /tg/.

I'm Just gonna Bump this and post a
Beta Tau Charts

http://pastebin.com/pV8QDwJy
as i'm not really a Tau expertize i have no idea what Combat Specialty they could have so yeah.

anyway
FOR THE GREATER GOOD

bumping with Tau Charts

>>15100639

But how did the Tau get there? The Tau are mostly contained to the eastern fringe because they don't really have faster than light travel. If they allied with the Dark Eldar, the Eldar could take them through webway portals to wherever the Eldar want.

bumping

>>15106762
that works well, though i don't think it should be large alliance. Not all of the ethereals are ready to throw in with them.

we have a SoB order: Order of the Guiding Light
