Anywho folks, its been awhile since the 'Great Summer of /tg/ Actually Got Shit Done', but I figured I may as well make a revival thread for all things /tg/ 40,000.

Same as usual: Discuss homebrews, write lore, post drawfaggotry, come up with tabletop/Dark Heresy rules and whatnot.

Weird. Nobody interested? Whatever happened to the Glistening Host guys?

I am interested, but I'm not sure how I can help as I wasn't here the whole time and don't know everything about them.

>>16948691
Just ask questions.

Okay. Why the fire-theme? Is that actually possible with 'nids, or is that some canon-twisting for the rule of cool?

I started working on a small force of EN to add to my army that I based off the short stories I wrote.

>>16948816
'Rule of Cool' mostly. It was just a random idea I pitched out during the surge of Rites of Battle homebrew chapters, and it took off. I thought it just added a bit of flavor to the Tyranids.

>>16948816

It was a twist on 'nids that ate mineral matter out of your planets crust instead of the biological goo that the people living on it are made of. So they would just burn fucking everything with lava and stuff, and then eat the planet itself. Like the dragons from that christian bale movie, but tyranids.

I remember Nidhoggr.
Good times with this, the pyrovore actually becoming useful lol.

>>16948870
What this guy said.

>>16948879
And this. It was an attempt to make the Tyranids have a radically different storyline and tactics, outside of 'Hivemind thinks this way, so is different from this Hivemind'. It was also a way to try and make some of the useless tyranid units become useful.

>>16948870

That's . . . actually kind of cool.

Exactly how big a threat is it, and where?

>>16948894
http://1d4chan.org/wiki//tg/_40,000
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tiji_Sector#Warpstorms

Leviathans Rest is where Hive Fleet Nidhoggr originated, after the Salamanders tried to nuke the ever loving hell out of the Nids.

A few nids survived. Epic writefaggotry in the following links:
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Risen_From_the_Ashes
This story deals with the evolution of the new strain from the Tyranid/Narrators point of view.
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Hive_Fleet_Nidhoggr:_Ignition
This story deals with the impact of the HFN from the Guardsman/Space Marines point of view.

Bumping for homebrew goodness.

Did you ever get any models painted up for the fleet? I remember the threads from way back, but I can't remember if it was just fluff and drawings or not.

>>16949146
If I could afford the models, I'd try my hand at painting them.

Yet another bump. Spent my time traveling the rest of 4chan.
/r9k/ scares and confuses me.
/f/ has nothing interesting.
/a/ confuses me. What's a 'moe'?
/co/ infuriates me with its pony shit.
/m/, /d/, and /sci/ make me laugh.
/b/ is shit.

So. About them homebrews?

I was there in the original threads, and yet I don't really know much ruleswise.
I just thought they were awesome.

HOLY FUCK I LOVE THE MAGMA NIDS

about time you came back

>>16949699
No problem. Threads not just limited to Nidhoggr. Any ideas and suggestions for them would be kindly appreciated.
>>16949702
We love you too.

>>16949714
Well fuck, I never left. I just blame MetroPOS for not getting Captcha right thirty times out of ten. I got a few hours left tonight, but on the 25th I'll be back in full swing. As well as all the other homebrews.

Glistening Host OP/Chaos Warband table-maker here. Nice to see some of /tg/ 40,000's stuff coming back, especially one as cool as Nidhoggr.
I was actually planning on doing some writefaggotry to revive the Glistening Host this weekend, although I lack inspiration/ideas for scenarios.

>>16949745

Write a battle with them fighting Nidhoggr nids.

>>16949745
Nice to see you're back. I've been intrigued by the GH for awhile now, actually. Did they ever claim a Daemonworld in the Tiji sector?

>>16949770
No daemon worlds. Their main based is a former prison planet but also rely on their fleet very often.

>>16949830
Hmmm... Well, I'm feeling rather happy now that I'm back. I'll even start writing the ending to the Golden Aquilas 'Triple Heresy!'. Maybe I'll cook something up during my downtime at work. Want me to write a story dealing with the Glistening Host in a battle with a Tiji Sector native? I got a week before I'll have ample access to 4chan again, so give me some battles/scenarios to write about. Throw in an IC if you want.

While we're talking about Hive Fleet Nidhoggr, I was looking through my 5E 'Nids-dex I got a few days ago, and realized that Pyrovores are now a thing.
How much better would Nidhoggr's Pyros be, considering that they are already tectonic/magma-focused 'Nids?

>>16949912
I've never actually gotten the time to look at the Pyrovores stats. What exactly is ineffective about it?

>>16949957
From what I know, it usually ends up where the whole Brood ends up suicide-bombing due to the fact that it has to get into melee to use it's template attack, and that it gets swamped by any surviving infantry or anti-tank nearby.
A Nidhoggr Pyrovore, however, would fuck shit up royally. Since everything big in the fleet seems to have Flame Sprayers, the Pryovore's template would probably be 1.5 times as large by default and have another +2 to the strength or AP (depends on the loadout: Ultrathermal Secretions or Pressurized Gout) as a biomorph upgrade.

>>16949979
If you can write up the stats for it, the Norn Queen will catalog it with the other bio-forms that have been suggested... Which means I'll simply add it to the 1d4chan wiki if its balanced enough to make the Pyrovore a viable unit.

Is there charts out there to help you make random Hive Fleets? Kinda like the Necron/Guard/Marine/Chaos armies? If not, can we make one?

>>16950158
This is /tg/. Give enough offering of meatbread and the number crunching neckbeards will fulfill your prayers.

>>16950022
On it. Just upgraded the Volatility: Less likely to ignite after insta-death, but you can blow them up manually via Hive Mind after movement for a Strength 4, AP 2 blast to everything within 6".

Another rethinking of Giger's alien help oil the gears?

Whatever happened to the Obstinate Marines? That whole thing died down pretty fast.

I even made my first bit of writefaggotry for it.

So anyon remeber those teracota necrons?

>>16950309
wasn't in the their threads, but it felt a cool concept, but it spend a lot of time focusing only on Special Characters

>>16950309
No, but I remember having that idea independently a while back. Was anything done with that, or was it just a discussion point?

>>16950251
Sexy. Sorry to let you folks down, but I gotta go sleep under the crust of some planet. I'll be back in a week!

Remember: Hive Fleet Nidhoggr has a Talk page that is available for all to post and edit in. Leave some of your ideas there by posting model stats, Dark Heresy descriptions of individual units, ect, ect.

See you soon, surface dwellers.

>>16950278
here's their page:
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Obstinate_Marines
They are actually named the Astartes Partinax, ot Partinax Astartes, whichever you prefer.
Shit was legit.

>>16950365
>ect.
It's "etc."

I hereby declare this a general thread for any and all of the stuff that came out of The Summer of /tg/ Getting Shit Done." Emperor's Nightmare, Abyssal Jaws, Flawed Ones, Guardians Exemplar, Covens of the Enshrouded, Necrons of the Eight Tombs, Waaagh! Tang Klan, and everything else.

>>16950363
They had some drawfaggotry, some discussion, and that's about it

>>16950398
Yeah I know. And my writefaggotry isn't even on there. Hmpf.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuup. Original artist of those top 2 pics. I love that Nidhoggr hasn't died! I will return to this thread later this evening hopefully and try to add more imagery.

>>16950409
Wasn't there at least on Sisters of battle hombrew? Something about a laser fixation?

>>16950417
You could put up there yourself if you wanted. I'm sure I'd be glad to hear another regaling legend of the Partinax.

>>16950417
It's a wiki. Make a mention on the Talk page, then post it into the main page.

>>16950427
Order of the guiding light or something.
They had a Sister chart if i'm not mistaken

>>16950409

You know, I'm amazed that all this cool shit came out during summer and everyone stopped working on it after summer ended.

Shouldn't it be the other way around /tg/? I am confus.

>>16950409
You forgot the Legend of Zelda... ;_;

Well, got that Pyrovore mod done for Nidhoggr if anybody wants to peer-review.
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Talk:Hive_Fleet_Nidhoggr
Hope it isn't too awful balance-wise, as I am never good at stats-cost balancing or any of it else.

>>16950555
Contrary to popular 4chan beliefs, summer is not always the end of "quality threads"

>>16950581
I'm pretty sure he's talking only about 40k stuff.
i guess you could put M:tG RPG if you want to include it all

>>16950595
Nor end.

Bump for the Flamegene!

Were these creation rules archived or on 1d4chan?

>>16951621
For making what?
The 'Rites of Battle' book for Deathwatch has the Chapter-making rules /tg/ uses. Look for it on /rs/ if you want it.

I'm surprised it wasn't called Hive Fleet Fafnir...

>>16951719
But Nidhoggr is the dragon that lives under Ygdrasil and eats the roots. Living beneath not just the Earth, but all worlds, waiting and biding and eating until the time is right, Ragnarok begins, and she tears forth to destroy and consume with epic hunger and awe-inspiring power.

We can call the next one Fafnir.

>>16951719
Or maybe Hive Fleet Surtr.
Oh well, no matter, because this rocks!

By the way, I think the Waagh! Tang Klan is quite lacking in special characters. Anyone want to make some?

And let me see... what random faction generators have we got? Deathwatch supplied us with Spess Mhreen chapter creation, there's an Ork and Necron version... how about Tau, Eldar/DEldar, and Tyranids?

>>16951753
Doktah Dray = Meganob with a talent for picking out future Nobs, kept on hand as Pradoosah.

>>16951753
Nidhoggr splinter fleets?

>>16951834
Mother of the Emperor.
>Fafnir
>Surtr
>Angrboda

As an in-joke, have Fafnir seemingly stem from the biological information from Nighoggr's consumption of several of the Imperium's Stronghold and Mining Worlds centuries earlier. (In other words, it used to be a dwarf.)

rolled 31 = 31

I was thinking.
You know how we made the Flesh Helms, the worst Space Marines ever?
What would happen if they had a Chaos companion?
A group with genetic failures just as as great, but earning their scorn among their Chaotic brethren rather than from the Imperium?
This requires further development.
>>16951861
A focus on more heavy metals and weapons fuels in consumption results in bioferrous plating and alterations in the therm-chem production process, resulting in bio-gunpowder weapons and bio-cannons/bio-howitzers. Nice.

>>16951866
Black Legion.

Also, lots of Winged Hive Tyrants.

"Yes, what is it?"
"Look at those Nurglings over there that you summoned a while ago for practice."
"Yes..."
"Why do they have a bucket and mop? WHY?!?"
"I... I think I know, sir-"
"They are CLEANING THE DECK. You are the WORST Disciple. Of ALL the disciples, ever, YOU are the worst."

Wait, I just read through the archieves and if I'm getting this right then these Glistening Host guys were a Blood Angel's decendant chapter that styled themselves after pre-revolution french nobility, who sold their souls to slaanesh to prevent falling to the Black Rage, and in doing so lost their ability to get angry but also became huge sadomasochists? So basically they're like pic related, if pic related was a cenobite in gleaming white porcelain power armor.

... Not sure if sue or fuckawesome. Further research required.

>>16952406
Wait no nevermind I'm convinced. These guys are awesome.

>>16951753

There was an Eldar Craftworld one. I can post what I have of it if it's wanted. It's been slightly tweaked from the original, though, just because I felt the numbers were a tad off.

I have never seen an Ork one, though, and would love it if it was posted.

>>16952451

ahh, stupid me, should have actually looked at the post you linked to. I don't have it nicely sceencapped, but I could repost the tables that the OP of Waaagh Tang Klan made. They don't have any mechanics but still are good for klan idea generating.

>>16952837
"Is... Is that a Hormagaunt you have on that leash, sir?"
"Yes. We will brand it in the name of Chaos and use it as one of our own. 'Azuzazeth of Zezuzik' will become our mightiest weapon if we treat him right."
"Is that really necessary? Is this a good idea?"
"There are no good ideas in the Black Legion, Normik. Only good luck wished to you in stopping me from carrying them out."

>>16952865

I would very much like to see them, thank you.

>>16952865
It appears that our good friend Indonesian Gentleman was the Op of the Waaagh Tang Klan, so all credit goes to him. Proceeding with repost...

You know what? Almost everybody else and their god-emperor (except the Tau) have at least one custom /tg/ chapter/faction/group fluffed out. So let's decide on an Ork WAAAGGGHHH via dice rolls, as most of these other chapters/what-have-you also did.
First, let's roll for the dominant Clan in this waaagh. Roll a 1d6:
1 - Bad Moonz
2 - Blood Axes
3 - Deathskullz
4 - Evil Sunz
5 - Goffs
6 - Snakebitez

Oh wait, that actually happened.

Also:
>Kill Horus' clone and burn the original body. Our Primarch shall never live again, because he failed at that thing I keep trying and failing even harder at. And I'm still kind of angry about that!

>>16952937

AHHH WHY THE FUCK ARNT YOU LETTING ME POST THE REST OF THIS WHAT THE FUCK IS CLOUDFLIAR

>>16952937

First has already been rolled, so I won't bother, but thanks for actually posting it. I'll help out and roll, too, but mostly I just want the charts for my own use.

>Fuck you, Captcha. Not only are those symbols, but you literally did the Sony Playstation button scheme.

>>16952960

OH SO NOW YOU WORK! FINE BE THAT WAY!

>>16952942
Welp, seems like most of our waaagh is Bad Moonz. We'z be swimmin' in teef, an' have da flashiest bitz.
Now for Oddboy likelihood: What kind of Oddboy do we have the most of?
Roll a 1d5.
1 - Doks and Painboyz
2 - Mekboyz
3 - Runtherds
4 - Weirdboyz
5 - Madboyz
'ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go!

>>16952960

I get that sometimes too. In that little window, there's a retry link. Every time I click it, it'll do what I originally wanted. And sometimes it'll post it even though it brought up that Cloud Flier thing.

Please don't give up!

>>16952986
Well it looks like we'z is both wierd an' flashy. Dis might 'ave sum potential. Now, our waaagh usually fights indiscriminately, but more often than not, we fight these dudes a lot:
roll a 1d7.
1 - IoM snootnosez
2 - Chaos hooliganz
3 - other Orkz
4 - Eldar pansyboyz
5 - Dark Eldar emoboyz

>>16953049
A Madboy is a Feral Ork who is given a weapon and thrown at the enemy with even less intelligence and safety-regard than a regular Ork.
Like Death Company, but greener.

>>16953035

We does most of our finghtin' with them puny 'umiez, both da hardboyz 'an them boyz wiff da flashlightz. OK, now let's roll for overall combat tactics. Roll 1d6 for a color!

... DATZ A GOOD POINT! Disregard da wierdboy suff, instead we'z iz full madboyz; boyz who iz crazy for fightin' even by proppa ork standardz.

Whoo, back after some work done.
Oh yeah, I did make a roll-thingy for the Orks, haven't I?
Anyways, we need to have all the rolltables 'bundled' into one package, or maybe a mega-thread of sorts.
Maybe even make some for ones that don't have it yet. Like Tyranids. Or IG.
I seem to recall something for the Tau, but I don't know if it's archived or not.

>>16953105

If we disregard his rolls that hard the wrong dice number, then it's madboyz and tyranid-bashin'.

I honestly don't care, this is just random fun. Wouldn't mind the tyranid-bashin', simply because we can have those 'nids be Nidhoggr.

>>16953115

Put them on 1d4chan, not just archive. Archives get trimmed, and who knows if a faction generator thread would last on there.

>>16950158
>>16950275
So, the set for these?

>>16953121
So, if da' Nidz iz red, and red makez 'em go fastah...
And if we take da red out from inside 'em and make some foyne paint outta it...
Then...
It'll be...
Double-Red! Double-Fastah!
Oy, I'm royght thinky, oy am.

>>16953145

Our Waaugh! would definitely have that looted Carnifex as a special character. The 'nid is a Nidhoggr, painted even more red, and it's the fastest Tyranid on land.

>>16953081

>>16953195

Would help, but honestly if it's all for fun who cares?

I think we're sticking with the 'nid-bashas, though. Let's just say our Waaugh! has an unusual amount of both weird and mad boyz.

rolled 2 = 2

I'll roll for the Gods, but isn't it more Orky to constantly bicker about which one is which, and which one they really go for, and constantly flip flop?

>>16953239
Or you can compromise like in Gorkamorka and go a-raiding everywhere.

Spoke too soon, thanks anon!

You know what. In honor of the namefag who done some of those rolls with me, let's base them off of Firemen.

I mean, come on. Their hated enemy is the fire 'nids.
WE'Z DA FIREBOYZ

>>16953259
Well, we'z got ourselvez Da Nid Hog, and it'z all on foyah, so we can be...

>>16953277
>FIREBOYZ
>Fight fire (bugs)

Allofmyyes.jpg
Anyone want to retroactively change their color to red so this makes more sense?

But we're not arsonists. Sure, we set things ablaze and loot fire 'nids for vehicles, but that's just a byproduct of our attempts to fight fire with fire.

We are literally firemen, going around putting out fires. It's just that our preferred method, fighting fire with fire, happens to make things worse.

>>16953296
Foyah's like boyz.
Put a buncha boyz in a box, and dey'll get all 'ungry and krump each-uddah.
Same wit' foyah; put a buncha foyah nex' t' it, and all da foyah'll krump itself.
Simpah, really.

>>16953291

I'm actually thinking of yellow. For one, DAKKA. For another, DAKKA. And lastly, firemen suits.

>>16953305

I love you, namefag. And you, Generator Poster.

Please tell me you'll keep the idea alive after it fizzles out for the night. I've never been a part of a /tg/ creation before.

>>16953307

Yes, but think of the firetrukkz. But I suppose you do have a point, so yellow it is then.

>>16953307

So much win in this thread tonight.
>>16953313
I was an anon during the Editors threads, so I know this feel. I'll put everything in a text doc, I've already upvoted on sup/tg/, and all will be well.

>>16953318

Well, we can have multiple colors, then.

Red for our wartrukks, because Foyatrukk.
Yellow for your clothing/armour, because Foyaboyz.

>>16953319
>dat mental image

Ok, it official now: these are the best orks ever.

Looked up Bad Moons:
"They have been noted to have a greater proportion of Wyrdboyz than other clans, but they still do not appear past the Feral Ork stage."

So. We're pretty much stock Bad Moons, then. Not much differentiation as far as Oddboyz go.

Warboss is the Foyah Chief.

Because the Gretchins get burned so often, whenever the Orks charge and scream WAAAGH!, their high-pitched screams give it an odd ululating sound that's even more terrifying.

Hopefully the idea stays alive. I'll certainly help out where I can.

Good night, anons and namefags!

+++Meteorological Disturbance Report+++
##/##/## - 41###
World Afflicted: Cobbokamp - A grassy world dotted with enclosed hab-domes to protect against the exotic atmosphere. A handful of preachers struggle to keep the population of 4 million in line.
Incident: Meteorological disturbance reported, as several thousand meteors landed upon the planets surface. Adeptus Mechanicus reports have confirmed presence of Tyranid Biomass. Planet-wide evacuation in effect to prevent events known in the classified ‘IGNITION’ event. Requesting aid from nearby Adeptus Astartes.
The Emperor Protects.
+++END OF REPORT+++

>>16955645

On the planet of Cobbokamp, there resided a great many species of flora and fauna. From giant wild Groxs, down to the carnivorous man-eating plants that resided in the various woods that dot her landscape. But there was another threat that hampered the local population, in the shape of feral orks. The Orks made it into a habit of raiding the local hab-domes, as is expected. But even the simple minded Orks knew that something was astray when the skies burned with a massive meteor shower. This is the story of Foyah Chief, the Nob who rose to become the Warboss of the Foyah Boyz Clan.
It all started in the middle of a raid upon Habitat Dome Epsilon. The local PDF was holding off the green tide at the gates, when the first meteor slammed into the roof. The debris alone crushed several buildings, and a meteor slammed through into an Imperial Command Center. All communications with the local forces were cut off, and the Orks penetrated the domes defenses with the unstoppable might of the Foyah Chiefs Waaagh!

>>16955648

“Oy Boss, wuts dem fings ova dere?” One of the Boyz shouted towards Foyah Chief. He was pointing towards a cluster of odd-looking Imperial vehicles. They looked like bricks on wheels, with a hose on their sides and a ladder on top of them. It would appear that they were next to a firestation, located within the Hab-dome.
“I dunno, but I likez da kulla. Redz meanz it goes fasta boyz! Lootz dem and dat buildin’ deyz at! Waaagh!”
The Ork ransacking lasted a few minutes, whilst the Boyz spray-painted effigies of Mork and Gork on the firetrucks, and welding some ‘more orky bitz’ onto their exterior. Several Boyz came out of the station, laughing and cackling to themselves while trying on several of the fire-retardant suits, many of them ill-fitting. Foyah Chief came out of the building wearing a full suit, a massive ‘Jaws of Life’ strapped to his left arm, and a firemans axe in his left. He was also donning a bright red firehouse hat. “Iz found me a new hat, boyz!”
A Mad Boy was drinking from one of the hoses attached to the side of the truck, before spitting the contents out. “Deyz nuttin in deze hoses but wata! Dats nawt a propa drink I finks! Fill dis fing with Burna fluidz, dat wayz we can stayz nice and krumpy.”

Bumpan for more Foyah Boyz

I'm back!
Made some crunch today. Made the Foyahfoytahz (Burna Boyz) and the Foyahtrukkz (they're fucking clown cars if you put Foyahfoytahz in them). I'll post some stats after I walk the cat. Be back in about half an hour.

>>16957796
Eagarly awaiting

Hi Ragnasal, I was posting with the name Sarpedon a while ago when you created one of these threads... Did you go anywhere with the half-baked 'Thumper' attack for the Mawloc? Or the impassable terrain creation?

I'm back now. Cat stayed out for a freaking hour.
Damn.
Well, any preference as to what goes first, or should I just start dumping it?

>>16958469
No, that's real.
http://dornob.com/flood-proof-emergency-dams-turn-homes-into-tiny-islands/
Well, going to post up what I have for the Foyahfoytahz. Probably imbalanced as fuck, but this is my first big crunch-making. Here goes nothin'...

>>16958487
NEW WEAPON
Stinguisha' (cryo gun, modified Burna)
R: Template
Str: 6
AP: 3
Range: Assault 1
-Upgrades to Foyah-Snuffah'

-----------

Foyahfoytahz (replaces Burna Boyz)
Composition: 5-15 Foyahfoytahz --- 25 Points per model
Unit Type: Elite Infantry
-WS: 4, BS: 3, S: 3, T: 4, W: 1, I: 2, A: 2, Ld: 7, Sv: 6+


Wargear:
-Burna' OR Stinguisha'
--Upgrade to Bigga' Burna' / Foyah-Snuffa' (+1 A): +10 Points per Model

Special Rules: Furious Charge, Waaagh!, Mob Rule

Work T'getha' Now...: The Foyahfoytahz are astoundingly cooperative (for Orkz) at times. Knowing that some foyahz are just too big for any one squad to 'extinguish', groups of Foyahboyz will often converge on a target, shouting orders and throwing out ideas on how to stop the oncoming threat. This comraderie makes the Foyahboyz markedly 'courageous' in the face of even the largest foes, knowing that they'll think of something in time to save their skins...
--As long as a unit with 'Work T'getha' Now...' retains squad/mob cohesion, it gains an additional +1 Ld for each other unpinned unit within 6". If this would give it a leadership of 11+, the unit gains Fearlessness until its leadership is lowered to 10 or less.

Foyahtrukkz coming up next.

>>16958507
Foyahtrukk
Composition: 1-3 Foyahtrukkz --- 45 Points per Model
Unit Type: Dedicated Transports
Vehicle Type: Fast, Enclosed

BS: 3
Armor: Front: 10, Side: 10, Rear: 10

Special Rules: Ramshackle, Put 'Er Out!

Wargear: Skorcha, Red Paint Job

Transport Capacity: 12 models (Mega Armor counts for 2)
Option:
-Replace Skorcha with Big Shoota: Free
-Can take following:
--Armour Plates: +10 Points
--Reinforced Ram: +5 Points
--Boarding Plank: +5 Points
--Wreckin' Ball: +10 Points
--Grot Riggers: +5 Points

Got Da' Whole Krew: Foyahfoytahz in particular know just how to pile in, where to hold on, and how not to fall off Foyahtrukkz in order to get the most out of their ride.
--If Foyahfoytahz are loaded into a Foyahtrukk, the transport capacity is raised to 18 models. However, the additional six models hang on the outside of the vehicle and are not protected by the vehicle's armor. Represent this by placing them alongside the Foyahtrukk and moving them at the same speed of the vehicle. If the transport is assaulted, the models on the outside of the transport automatically become the target of the assault. If they are all destroyed, the attackers make another assault against the Foyahtrukk immediately.

Put 'Er Out!: The Foyahboyz krewing the Foyahtrukks know more than enough about fire and heat to know that vehicles shouldn't have them coming out of the engines or guns or whatnot. They know just how to change gears, smack plates, and stomp on embers in order to mitigate the flames and get back to driving. They might even get lucky and slap a wheel back on enough to keep moving...
--If the Foyahtrukk suffers an Immobilised hit, roll a d6. If the result is 5+, the vehicle can still move, but at half speed for the rest of the game.
--If the FOyahtrukk suffers a Crew Stunned hit, roll a d6. If the result is 5+, the vehicle may move on its next turn, but at half speed. The Foyahtrukk cannot shoot.

There we go. Hope that isn't too bad.

I live to serve. I should have the Laddatrukk statted up as well as whatever I'm going to call their flamethrower trukk. Might as well give them some good anti-tank for once, but I'm trying to figure out how to fit it in. Well, one thing at a time.

About the flame nids, as the anon who originally wrote most of the writefaggotry would anyone like me to write up a new encounter to add to their fluff on the wiki?

Any requests for who their enemy should be and who should come out on top?

>>16965455

Since we're in the process of creating an Ork Waaugh! designed specifically as a humorous counter to the fire 'nids in this very thread, why not writefag an encounter with them?

Speaking of the Foyahboyz! Squigs. The runtherders of this Ork group specifically single out those less frightened of fire than others. After a few generations of Ork-observed breading, they now have a small breed of squigs that are not only unafraid of fire, but fucking LOVE IT. Getting these kinds of squig to race around on a burning battlefield isn't the chore, it's trying to get them off before they burn themselves to death. Physically they're like any other of the small, almost pet-like squigs, but their skins are unusually spotted. The Foyahboyz call them Dalmashunz.

I just had a thought, Foyahboyz vs C'tan shard with lord of flames as an ability = Hiliarious

Oh lawd, that would be.

Do we have a C'tan built out as entire fire-themed? I know there were a few threads that dedicated to creating a C'tan using every combination with the new Codex

>>16966904
He's called the Burning one, and he's official

>>16966855
Foyahboyz list of achievements:
>Drove off a Nidhoggr Fleet by burning everything bigger and orkier than dem toothy gitz.
>Beat down a Lord of Fire C'Tan shard of the Burning One by turning it into a Lord of damp ashes.
>Discovered that Eldar Fire Dragons each burn in real pretty colors and don't like the fire as much as they seem to pretend to.
>Extinguished an entire squad of Tau Fire Warriors on what used to be their own world
>Actually cooled the rage of a Khornate Bloodletter. Then promptly set it on fire.
>Several Imperial worlds purged by fire. Mostly from accidental applications of gasoline to fire.

>>16966916

Read about him on Lexicanum, thanks for letting me know.

Now, I'm imagining a Burning One shard that's still in control of his Necron forces like the Oldcrons (I am a fan of the Newcrons, I just think this suits Oldcrons better in this scenario), about to break into a wide network of Webways when over the horizon the Foyahboyz see the smoke and WAAAAAGH!

Anyone want to brainstorm some Foyahboyz stuff, or Nidhoggr?

Getting a little depressed since noticing others are trying to eliminate the Lumbermarines for the sake of an entirely new Chapter/Warband instead of just creating a new Chapter/Warband.

>>16967083
Intended to work on some more Foyahboyz crunch, but a whole bunch of RL work got in the way. Methinks that they would be more willing to temporarily work with other races in order to 'stinguish a common foe, which lends itself towards Apocalypse games quite well. 3000pt Foyahboyz/3000pt Eldar vs 6000pt Nidhoggr sounds fun, too.

<On-board a Nidhoggr Hive Ship in Orbit around [Classified], 18 hourse into IGNITION event>

The being opened it's eyes for the first time, vaguely aware of its upside down orientation. It stretched its limbs to the membrane encasing it and cut its way out of the sac, flowing forth onto the moist and fleshy interior of the Brood Nest. It stood up on its legs with instinctive ease as it remembered what it was. It have never opened its eyes before or felt the mucus membrane of the ship beneath its feet, but it drew its consciousness from the hive mind and awakened its own synapses in response. The newly created biomorph, what a human might call a Hive Tyrant due to its resemblance, threw back its head and let out of roar that echoed through the tubes and compartments of the ship.

The corpulent forms of the Norn Queens, little more than deft tentacles and precision bone instruments attached to a massive sac of organs and refined bioresources, flowed back from their greatest accomplishment in their short time among the stars and let all the eyes of the mind marvel at their work. A new Hive Lord to lead a new force, unlike any other.

This world below was a first but it would certainly not be the last. And so the hive mind had proceeded with the utmost care in deployment, curiously examined every facet of its attack, explored every tactic and relearned the ways of bloody battle in this first world where the inhabitants struck back. And from this need for battle and hunger for flesh was born a creature of new design. A creature with the knowledge of the old ways before the flames, hidden within the genetic memory of the hive, as well as mastery over the new and fearsome designs of the swarm. This champion would have unparalleled autonomy, carrying the webwork of the hive mind on a barren world below as it lead the swarm in a fury of smoke and blades.

The creature did not react as the tendril wrapped around it and pushed it into the contracting tube in the side of the room. It merely waited, knowing it was to be encased and placed inside a specially prepared and disguised Mycetic Spore for immediate combat deployment. It did not fear death, for its mind would always exist within the hive, waiting to be reborn again on another, for another battle, for another feast. It's sacs of flammable ichor oozed in excitement, lighting its lashwhip aflame as it contacted the air. It could already smell the bloodshed below.

Unflinching it waited as the amniotic fluid filled in the containment chamber. It did not panic as it's lungs were engulfed and breathed in the gelatinous broth. The ooze thickened and the beast found itself paralyzed, drifting slowly in a state of suspended animation. It's mind crackled across the synapses of its brothers still forming in the hollowed recesses of the hive ship. Each of them would become a living appendage of the hive mind, the embodiment of all the hunger and instinct of the brood. They were all within him now, those minds waiting to be born, watching and learning so that they would be born with all the collective intelligence and combat experience of every veteran of a thousand invasions. With a mental nod the Spore bowed to the will of its overlord and launched itself through the membranous barrier before it and out into the cold vacuum beyond. It drifted for but a moment before bracing itself. The thickened fluids within it solidifed in the absence of the mother's warmth to preserve the integrity of it's favored child. As much dead as alive, the two vessels plummeted, one within the other, to the world below. But then after a few moments both roared into life again as the atmosphere ignited the outermost musculature of the mycoloth. The whole hive watched through the beast's eyes as it crashed into the rock below.

First impact would be a disorienting experience for most, but for the warrior of shadow and flame it was an experience it held many memories of, even though they were not its own. After the vessel halted completely, the Tyrant ripped out of the side of the spore, pushing aside its chitinous exoskeleton from within, and leapt to the ground below. It scratched its claws into the soft earth and only took a single sniff of the air to determine where the most bloodshed was as it search the web of thought for the best prey. It reached out through the synapses of the brood and flexed the muscles of its hundreds of bodies.

A million voices roared as one. The very earth trembled and cracked as its hungering mouths clawed their way to the surface. A building crumbled in the distance and the resulting crater pulled the nearby organics into its stony maw. The fiend that would one day be known as the Balor turned and charged off towards its new found quarry, hungry to join the din of battle.

As it approached its dorsal vents began to billow forth plumes of smoke and ash. By the time it reached the Imperial front line it was almost completely cloaked in the shadows and flickering glow of red hot cinders and blackened charcoal. It fired a bolt of scorching organic plasma from its Incinerator Canon and hit an armored vehicle leaving its smoldering husk immobile, but it craved closer more intimate combat. It spread its massive and powerful wings and with a powerful thrust leaped into the skies above before plummeting down onto its first unsuspecting victim below. It's uncoiling whip of flame would be the last thing the poor marine ever saw. The lick of the whip cleaved the pathetic creature in half. Engulfed in shadows it folded its wings down and stepped slowly from the ashen cloud it had left in its wake. Two remaining adversaries stared forth, defiant, one of flesh and one of metal. Both would serve the purposes of the brood.

The scavengers crawled from the ash and encircled their prey, as others were doing to the last isolated pockets of resistance all across the world. They wanted nothing more than to descend and feed but the Hivelord held them at bay. These ones would be his and his alone. He needed to learn the nature of his foe and his own capabilities so that this instinct might be imprinted into the millions of copies of himself waiting to be born miles above.

The dreadnought was the first to move, errupting at the nearest figure with it's assault cannon. The Ravener did not even try to defend itself, its instincts held in reserve by the Tyrant's indomitable will. It exploded into a burst of molten blood lighting the wrist mounted weapon of the venerated warrior with a red glow of intense heat. A dozen warriors aimed their weapons but held their fire.

Now it was the turn of the beast. It lashed forward with it's whip and grabbed the already super heated weapon, pulling the dreadnought closer as it's bonesword flew in a wide sweeping horizontal arch.

The dreadnought deftly caught the blow with its free hand as the marine began his own charge. Throwing aside the empty bolter he drew his combat knife lunging into the beast with all the fury he could muster. The knife struck him from behind but was deflected uselessly by the thick metallic carapace of the tyrant. The beast, looking upon this foolish human with the eyes of its brood, effortlessly spread its wings and knocked the marine from his feet.

>>16967366
Do continue.
>Nidhoggr Hive Mind when

Refocusing on the dreadnought now locked in combat it fired its Incinerator at point blank range into the left shoulder of the helpless warrior to soften the metal shell before leaning forward and ripping it apart with its teeth. The metal nearly held but with the sound of metal on metal, a bloodcurdling scream, and a sickening crunch the beast ripped the arm free and tossed it into the waiting horde of its lesser brethren to be consumed. It's sword freed, it began hacking relentlessly into the man of metal until it ceased its pitiful struggles.

It stopped its merciless attacks only to glide aside as a bolter flew through the air towards where its head had been a moment before. The beast had spied the man's attempt a second before, reflected in the perception of the gathered witnesses. Turning to the smaller and much less intimidating foe, it loosed its whip once again as flames erupted through the air. But the marine dropped to the ground to avoid the heat of the lash, then rolled to the side to avoid the following blow. He struggled to his feet as the tyrant leveled it's cannon on the tiny fool. It was weak and it's genetics were of no use to the brood. It would serve better reduced to it's elementary components. But as the beast began to flex its chemical sacs to ignite the bio plasma within the human did an unthinkable thing. It charged. Right into the tyrant, its knife again steady it its hand. With an unparalleled fury at all he had lost he plunged the combat knife into the glowing sac of the cannon, causing an explosion of fiery chemicals as they rapidly ignited int the air. The marine was instantly incinerated.

The hive panicked. The synapse web was severed as their master fell to the ground wrapped in his dark wings. Instinct nearly drove them all to flee back underground. But them the grip returned. The gathered hive writhed in pain as the rage of their master ignited their very synapses with psychic backlash.

The Balor stood up.

It's glorious red hide was covered in black soot and festering burns left gaping wounds where molten fluids oozed forth. Around it was nothing but ash. No trace of anything but ash remained around it within the crater. Everything was blackened in a fiery inferno. Only the boiling marrow of cracked and blackened bones interrupted the roar of the flames.

The Tyrant looked upon what its wrath had unleashed. The marine had inadvertently triggered a psychic awakening within the warp-touched beast. The flames had consumed both man and tyranid, flesh and steel alike.

This was the power of ultimate destruction. The power of the dragon. The power of the Nidhoggr. A power that would need to be tempered and honed.

The Balor spread its wings and took flight towards the nearest catacomb where it would return to the reclamation pool. The Hive had lost much, but much had been learned too. And in time, both the living and the dead return to the earth. And the earth would be consumed. The Brood was pleased.

>>16967486
By the way, it should be mentioned that this is actually the sequel to a previously written piece of fluff by another anon who wrote the invasion from the marine's perspective.

>>16967666
Fantastic. A joy to read.

Im still watching this thread eagerly from my cell phone. Cant post any writefaggotry tonight.

As to the person who asked me about the Mawloc/Thumper/Terrain, just put it in the Talk page until I can get around to it.

Some nice writin' there, anon. Now I really can't wait to see a Foyahboyz vs. Nidhoggr.

>>16967672
>Letting guardsmen know anything
Bad for morale.

>>16967790

I read that as a surviving Guardsman speaking to Command. Bit of morbid humor. Watch five battalions get slaughtered, one of them your own. Tell command LZ is hot.

Question: What if the Nidhoggr chose to land on a frozen world? lets say a planet far from its sun, whose temperature is so cold that its atmosphere has frozen and covered the planet in a 20 mile thick layer of ice.

Suggestion: How about a 40k ice/frost faction, like Glacier marines or Frost nids

>>16967981

I see Nidhoggr bypassing it in favor of a more digestible world.

However, a 40k ice faction could be cool. Why don't we go for something other than Tyranids or Marines, though? We have enough Chapters, and having a Ice and Fire Hivefleet seems kind of dumb. What about the Tau? We haven't really built a /tg/ Tau faction, have we?

>>16967981
It boiled the seas and glaciers away with the bodies of its own hive ships, and devoured the land left exposed.

"Some say the world will end in fire...others say in ice. Though I have seen many a pyre, I now know that ice, too, is great, and will suffice."

Last astropathic transmission from the Freezing of Antenora.

>>16968118

>ice will suffice

Ugh. Nice quote, but that last bit of wording made me cringe.

>>16968160
It's from a Robert Frost poem called Fire and Ice.

"Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."

>>16968035
A distant ice planet sounds like a great place for a Necron Tomb World.

>>16968196

Heh. The image of Flayers with sheets of ice and snow instead of flesh kind of amuses me.

>>16968192
The wording worked in the poem because of the rhyme and flow of the entire poem. Now that I understand the reference I'm more okay with it, but hearing it divorced from the rest as it was still makes me cringe inside.

>>16968216
Imagine a squad of guardsmen stumbling through a blizzard, being picked off one by one by a stalker in the drifts...

>Come, mortals. The cold awaits.

You read that in the Pariah's voice from DoW DC and SS.

>>16968216
>>16968232
And the simple fact that the Necron don't care about the temperature.

>>16968249
Yes. Like that.

Imagine great oynx pyramids, rimed with frost or buried under drifts of snow. Imagine the sickly green glow of Gauss weapons seen through the driving storm...

All the Necron 'dexes that got put on /rs/ were removed before I grabbed one, so I don't know if it's viable, but an Ice C'tan? I'm thinking one that greatly slows you down and messes with terrain.

Well, Nidhoggr was supposed to encounter the Brothers of the Megalith, who were essentially cavemen in space. As well as the Ivory Huntsmen.

So BoM were the "Ice" counter. IH were the jolly Brits on an African Safari, hunting Nidhoggr due to their uniqueness.

>>16968332

But, but, but ice necrons . . .

>>16968332
Brothers of the MEGALITH!!!!!! The necron conection is even clearer now

Suggestion: Necron Tomb World called Sheta (egyptian for winter). Necrons will have modified gauss flayers that decreases temperature by using the target's own heat to molecularly disintegrate them. Also have Monoliths and other necron structures that takes heat from the lands and sends it to space, decreasing the temperature of the planet.

>>16968716

Ehhh. Sheta is okay, though it doesn't really roll of the tongue.

But the idea of Necrons actively decreasing temperature seems meh to me.

I'd rather they just appear frozen and icy.

How about this. I'm sure Necrons have some form of terraforming technology. Maybe on one of their tombworlds, it malfunctioned. When the Necrons awoke, it started dropping the planet's temperature. Within weeks the world is in an Ice Age. The Necrons themselves, coming from the source of this freezing, are ice mummies.

Early morning bamp.
You know, Ive been on 4chan/tg for years and I still dont know how to triforce. /b/ is weird.

I'm liking these Mr Freeze Necrons already. Maybe have their Flayed Ones look like Wendigos, because they wear the white pelts of the planet's savage fauna. On the rare occasion that they wear flesh other than the Wendigos, said flesh would look black with frostbite, obscured by white snow and frost that's accumulating on them.

Here's an idea: Somehow, during their long hibernation, these Necrons' necrodermis bodies (or one of their Cryptek techs) malfunctioned, making them suck heat from their surroundings. The whole tomb complex is affected, and soon the whole death world became an icy nightmare.
Or maybe the rapidly-expanding cold wave only happened when they wake up from their slumber?
And for their leader, I'm thinking he's once an accomplished Necrontyr general or lord, who used to utilize cold weather to his advantage.
He is known as the Winter Lord. Fear his freezing cold, that echo the heat death of the universe.

Afternoon bump

>>16970720

Sounds pretty nifty. I like the idea of Wendigo Necrons.

>he Weendigo was gaunt to the point of emaciation, its desiccated skin pulled tautly over its bones. With its bones pushing out against its skin, its complexion the ash gray of death, and its eyes pushed back deep into their sockets, the Weendigo looked like a gaunt skeleton recently disinterred from the grave. What lips it had were tattered and bloody [....] Unclean and suffering from suppurations of the flesh, the Weendigo gave off a strange and eerie odor of decay and decomposition, of death and corruption.

Maybe these Necrons are heavily Flayer mentality. They need the flesh of others so much that it comes off as an abysmal hunger to others.

Maybe their broken necrodermis' causing the freezing is actually painful to them. Not in the same sense as we would feel pain, but they don't like it.

I'm imagining a Guardsmen firing until empty at a shadow moving closer to him in the midst of a blizzard. When the shadow is close enough to be seen properly, it's a Necron Flayer reaching out to the screaming, horrified Guardsmen.
>"So . . . cooold . . . "

>>16970429
I know that feel, bro.

Bump

Wow, thread is still alive. . .

Okay, contributin . .

Suggestion: Lets use both Indonesian Gentleman and Anons idea.
Scenario: the Necrons of Tomb World ________?(Sheta was denied, any suggestions Nidhoggr?) hae managed to become the very embodiments of frost that they are today due to a malfunction on one of their Cryptek techs or their wargear. this gave their necrodermis the unique ability of absorbing heat around them, while maintaining their near sub-zero temperatures. This ability also has the side effect of directly interferring with the stored essences of the Necrontyr within the Necron constructs, allowing them to feel once again the ability to feel the coldness of their metallic forms, driving all of them mad with from the effects of their own bodies.

Further Supposition: The Flayers are the one that are greatly affected by this phenomenon, which amplifies the effects the C'tan shard that affects them all (Caution:not sure here, im not familiar with the new fluff, and i have no codex). This madness extends to their habit of wearing their victim's flesh, only now it is in the vain and futile attempt of warming themselves.(Imagine: Imperial guardsmen hudling within their tanks and bunkers, completely blinded by the blizzards, their equipment rendered ineffective in the freezing weather, offplanet communication devices destroyed by the insanely strong gales of the storms that inhabit what little remains of the planets atmosphere that hasnt frozen over. Their fear mounts as Flayers shamble closer to the "hot ones", driven by the madness of their very own bodies to clothe themselves in warm flesh.)

As the anon mentioned, I rather like the further supposition. I seem to remember in Fall of Damnos the Necrons complaining, or at least registering, the unique cold of their bodies. With these Necrons, their Flayers are ones not mad to replace their own flesh but mad from the cold and for the warmth of living beings.

As for the worlds name, I tried looking up stuff in ancient Egyptian but all I found were hieroglyphs or very, very small, one page dictionaries. But Egyptians of today speak Arabic. And in Islamic religion, there is a section of Hell that is the exact opposite. Meaning rather than fire and brimstone its severe cold and blizzards. This particular pit of Hell is called
>Zamhareer

That's my suggestion. Makes a great Tombworld name, I think, but not sure if that's a good name for the Necrons themselves.
