I like how you've worked it, especially the darker implications that he's more 'for the nobles' than for the people.

If you need more ideas about making him more 40k, or making him more fun and cyberpunky without ruining things, check out the Missionarus Galaxia page on the lexi. Not much there, but it'll help.

>>45481230
Looks more like some Tempestor Prime.

Liking it.

Y'know, with all the talk about HK being cyberpunk as fuck, sadly there aren't many SciFi works in HK at all, and even if there were they mostly dabble about things such as ayy lmaos and the paranatural rather than far-future stuff.

Either that, or things like time-travelling to Ancient China. Maybe it's because there's enough mystic and mystery in the history of China that writers don't feel the need to write about the future, who knows.

Quite a shame, really.

Keep up then good work, Anon. These guys are fucking radical.

ON the first thread I talked about using Thick smoke, Flash-bangs, Fireworks and Paint to turn Hives into a little slice of home.

I also spoke about how through all of this fanfair and Shock-and-Daze tactics, The soldiers are stoic and Determined. Treating it as SSDD as possible rather than reveling in it. I haven't seen much talk about that facet as of yet and wanted to discuss it; How stoked are our men to be using the Colors and Mayham Approach? I want to avoid glee or joy, as that could be a bit to close to slaneshi,

>Maybe it's because there's enough mystic and mystery in the history of China that writers don't feel the need to write about the future, who knows.

Any future that doesn't in some way glorify the Chinese Communist Party tends to get very, very heavily criticized, if not outright silenced.

China still has a long way to go.

They have the colors and such just as a part of the uniform. They don't revel in it or anything.

>>45481409
The picture is actually from Taiwan

Hmm...I did bring up in the previous thread that I'd see them as being very pragmatic, If that counts.
I suppose if they feel giddy about it, they'd still attempt to hide it under a layer of professionalism.
Us HKers are not exactly a violent lot.

>>45481409
They're drilled and hardended soldiers, but they're also very punkish having grown up in their shitty ass hive. They probably enjoy it on some level because they know they're being obnoxious and disrupting, but I don't think they revel in it.

Also, the shock and daze stuff is good

an anon in an earlier thread talked about how the entire city was made with the ship as a base, pretty much at a 60º, what kind of ship landed on the world? how big is it? i really like this idea but without the numbers to put it in perspective it's hard to draw it

>>45481409
I'd personally just focus on pride - gang colors, traditional stuff, part of your homeworld's culture and you're honored to take part in it. Sort of like how lots of IG regiments can have bright colors in their uniform but don't go crazy about it.

As a tactic, they see it as a damn useful tactic. There is a risk of Slaaneshi-ness from Hellhounds or suchlike, but most units reign it in because, despite their crazy colors, they are professionals.

>reposting write faggotry in bound

>this foreign hive was in open rebellion, first company exterminator veterans infiltrated the under hive to root out the source. I have them working like a gang rubbing out an enemy boss, demonstrating how they appear t0 their foes

I have lived in the underhive for longer than most, and am one of the few survivors of restoration movement. We mutants and outcasts had gathered arms and numbers for years under Boss Toad. Boss Toad's rituals made us green and near impossible to kill, when we declared open rebellion against the hive lords we were unstoppable, or so we thought. We had heard a company of hive warfare specialist had been brought from off world. We remained arrogant in our might as we tore through PDF and arbites with our number and toughness. Boss Toad made more green ones every day. The day after Boss Toad set up his headquarters in the captured water treatment plant we thought we had won. Boss Toad began to work a spell on the hive water supply that would ensure our victory he said. Then as we roared in victory, the world exploded in a haze of brightness and furious colors. Then figures dripping the same ooze of colors repelled through the windows spewing light blue flames.

I saw Boss Toad flee in the cross fire to his captured chimera. These blazing blurs of pink and green didn't even pursue the Boss, and detonating more of their sound and fury disappeared as soon as they arrived. The haze clear just soon enough that I watched Boss Toad start the armored vehicle and I could see it explode in flare of pink. Our might brought low by a car bomb the rebellion faltered without leadership and we lost our source of green ones.

>>45481517
Go for the pride route, Chinese culture see pride and "saving face" as very important, basically people want to be seen as dignified instead of a loser.

It's the same reason why things like domestic violence is extra hush-hush round these parts, it's not just about not airing your dirty laundry but also not wanting to lose face over it.

>>45481587

I jsut chose a random picture we used in the first thread[/spoilers]

Indeed, while I like the more classical trope of an Army of Maniacs, reveling and loving what they do as a part of their schtic, Like really really getting into the way the smoke flows, Or the paint hardens, Or the foes stumble through it all...

I like the idea that these dudes see it as a tool at least, and a slice of home at most. Just as a Midwestern American feels that fields and tractors are a part of home.

I was also thinking of Photoreactive substances, Using Day-glow splatters or iridescents to really disorient foes in the confines of Hive Warfare

Personal Journal of Commissar Dans
>entry 167 pt. 1

I have been assigned to the Hua Yuan Exterminators after reports of possible xenos corruption among the Veteran members. I linked up with the Exterminators Vets during one of their many recruiting trips home. This was to guarantee my safety on Hua Yun as firearms of any kind are strictly banned on the hive. (Commissariat excluded of course). I've met the Exterminators Vets briefly before they went throughout the hive recruiting, and their armour is very impressively reinforced with 'Nid carapace. I noticed however an abundance of 'guant skulls on some of the troopers as well small hole drilled in the base of 'guant skull that has been the source of these rumors of xeno corruption and worship. After dismissing the men to their recruiting duties I choose to follow an Exterminator officer covered in many xeno skulls including one that was yet drilled and seemed to be sealed in wax. I tailed him easily by the distinctive neon armour and witnessed their method of recruiting officer's first hand. The officer went to upper hive and collected his highborn volunteers and lead the young men deep into the lower hive.

The officer candidates were lead into an empty warehouse facing 10 enlisted Exterminator regulars and told to kill them.
Those who did not immediately charge were dismissed. Hive War requires speed and aggression. The 5 brave souls who did charge were beaten nearly to death by waiting exterminators
The officer, who I had begun to assume was a medical officer, stitched their major bleeding and then choked them unconscious.
he then drilled that small hole in the 'Nid skull and mixed in a grey powder with the juice he extracted from the skull. To my misfortune I was then grabbed by two veterans who had discovered my vantage point. I firmly told them to unhand me or face death, but was ignored as they choked me to unconsciousness in a similar way as their recruits.

>>45481620
Hard to say man, even though Taiwan and HK see each other as battle brothers against mainland China, culture-wise they are pretty different.

HK and Singapore are economic rivals at best.

part 2

I was roused roughly outside of a small hab-block. With my five compatriots I was asked if
I wanted to lead exterminators and handed two neon orange knives. Before I could voice my indignation, A rebreather was strapped to my head and I began to inhale the Tyranid compound as I was pushed into the hab-block as the color faded from the world and I desired only its return. The drabness of the world enraged me as I charged into the block. Then I was saw the source of the drabness, xeno cults in the hab, and charged them with my knives to which color returned as I killed and purged, the deception of human appearance faded as I saw the truth of these genestealer cults, I saw my allies gain color as they killed alongside me, then when we seemed overwhelmed and prepared to fall in this hell. The Exterminators crashed into the hab-block from all angles killing like neon angels. I awoke In their barracks feeling more ill than
I have felt in my entire life, but reassured in purpose to fight alongside the Exterminators, although I felt the world still lacking somewhat in color until I donned my new commissar coat with comfortingly glowing pink and green before my eyes.

Speaking of toads, 蛤蟆功 is one of the martial arts techniques mentioned in wuxia fiction. It is based around endurance, holding in power and waiting until the opponent attacks, at which the user counters with all the strength he's been holding in.

My faggortry embraced the colors as finding them comforting as it mitigates side effect of their 'Nid stimms

the 'Nid stimms are in the first thread.

I like the idea of them needing comfort in the grimdark world just so we don't create yet another group of the most badass badasses in the imperium, I like the vulnerability

>>45481926
>If one is to inspect the Tyranid trophies of an Exterminator, a rare thing as they tend to be quite protective of them, they would find that every single one has a uniform hole near the base. This whole is generally used for mounting, but is actually created for an entirely different purpose. The extraction of the Tyranids adrenal glands. The Exterminators are known to produce a wide variety of combat and leisure drugs from the chemicals that can be found therein. Usually taking the form of an iridescent and fine powder, every Exterminator has a unique ritual involving their consumption. Some smoke it, others snort it, a good number inject it, some eat it or mix it with recaf like a sweetner, and some still have figured how to huff it as an aerosol. In any form of administration the combat variet of the Tyranid sourced drugs invariablely increase reaction time, aggression, and even enhanced unit cohesion among those Exterminators who do it as a group. It's withdrawal symptoms are, unfortunately, punishing. Ranging from violent seizures, severe narcolepsy, or even hallucinations of being a Tyranid part of the Hivemind have been reported. This, combined with it's unusual sourcing and the insular nature of the Exterminators has meant the glittering Tyranid Dust has not spread beyond the Exterminators.

Hey im back, its looking cool as fuck.

>>45481926
That's pretty fair. I like that they find comfort in it, Rather than energy or pleasure. that's a cool way to think about it

>>45481956

Wouldn't insomnia rather than narcolepsy be more in line with the effects and other symptoms of the Dust?

>>45482057
It also make one think of how uncomfortable they would be in the imperium at large, What with it's overall olive-drab Grey-sleet and concrete looks. It would be crushing to look at for them I would think. And for the Tau, They would be so clean, So bitterly stark with no 'soul' or spirit. The eldar much the same, Way to white, 'elegance' or sterility.

On the topic of how the hive looks and works and all that, this is from the first thread:

>The citizens of Hua Yaun are the descendants of a giant mining vessel that crashed into the planet some centuries ago. The ship's officers quickly established themselves as a nobility of sorts as equipment used to survive the void was refurbished to survive in an environment hostile to humans. When contact was eventually reestablished with the larger Imperium, the involuntary settlers, they quickly established themselves as a major provider of the neon that was abundant in the planet's atmosphere.

>Sounds to me like it's just one, supermassive hive that was made bigger and more broken by the ship that crashed into it.

Probably airless dead wasteland around the rest of the planet... What if it were a moon? The moon itself has valuable resources but is uninhabitable and orbits a gas giant. There's a tidy explanation for why the whole thing is dead, there's simply too little atmosphere. The original hive could be built on-top of a mining pit that goes down kilometers into the surface of hte planet. Gradually as more and more people came a society formed and the hive grew until people started actually dwelling in the upper sections of the mine, creating a nightmare urban sprawl. Then, for extra grimdark the mine dried up and the authorities abandoned it or something leaving the populace to sort its' own shit out. That way the guard regiment could actually be the de-facto police force on the planet as well

cont. next post

>>45482132
What.
Frankly speaking, if you look beyond the flashing neon lights HK architecture is pretty bland and boring.
There's a reason why so many photographs in HK emphasize the night view, it's the best thing we could offer in terms of aesthetics.
Otherwise it's pretty drab, either fancy-looking (but not stylish at all) skyscrapers or old buildings with peeling plaster.

>>45482158
part 2
>I like the idea of that.

A moon of a gas giant out in the far orbits where the sun is just another speck in the cold black sky. It would have an atmosphere if the temperature ever got above bras monkey levels of cold.

The hive is located at the bottom of a naturally formed super canyon at the equator. It was then further deepened by human activity.

The moon is geologically dead and has been for a long time. The deepest levels of the hive are at the level where the world is still warm in the middle.

It's a big maze down there and nobody has a complete or up to date map.

It is said by some of the natives that the oldest parts of the hive are pre-Imperial and they're probably right.


Everyone agrees with this right? its pretty fleshed out, if so then we need this on the wiki

Its just not expressed that way in any other regiments I know of - Kreigers don't necessarily find dull colors comforting, they just use them. Some colors have symbolic meanings - Vostroyan uniforms are red because Mechanicus ties, Catachans have red bandanas - but there are better ways to express them needing some sort of comfort than clashing colors on their uniforms. Maybe just lots of bright lights, since they're so used to their hive being constantly lit up with neon lights.

Genetic alteration seems like its getting too much into special snowflake "lets have everything" to me. If you think about it, most IG (and really, all the popular Warhammer factions) have one strong theme. Krieg: doomy WWI trenchers. Catachan: Vietnam / Rambo. Tallarn: Lawrence of Arabia. Praetorians: Zulu (the film, not the tribe). To my mind,post-human modificaiton dilutes the Kowloon cyberpunk theme.

Low-to-common grade Cybernetics are probably quite common though, especially among 'nid hunting veterans. Its not an ideological thing, its just that if you're fighting genestealers in a cramped environment odds are anyone that survives is going to be missing a few bits and bobs.

>>45482533
agreed

>>45482533
Yeah - genetic modifiction would be frowned upon by the wider Imperium because of the purity of the human form, and the fact that mutants and even abhumans aren't always looked favorably upon.

I hope the cybernetics are bulky and 90s looking.

>>45482533
Yeh but i mean like standardised tattoos or something to show special deeds.
Tattoos are a big part of many gang cultures, and again cool neon tatts would look cool as fuck, especially at night with lasers and explosions and shit.

yeah we already stablished that, pretty much what you just said, triad-russian kind of gang tattoos to show off what kind of crazy tyranids they've killed and stuff like that

That's just one interpretation of the Imperium, and even leaving aside eyesearingly bright 2nd edition art there's plenty of room for ridiculous affectations and colour schemes.

Besides, their closest canon analogue is probably Necromunda, and even the trenchcoat and mirror shades gangs there can be a riot of colours. Necromunda also has its own IG/PDF hybrid force as well.

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Necromunda_8th_Regiment

>>45482686
I remember there being an old short story in the Deathwing anthology about an Imperial Guard regiment raised up en masse from a hive gang. They kept their old hive gang symbol - a devil's head or some such - on the back of their uniforms.

Then there's the Scintillant Fusiliers.

>>45482685
sure, but i'd say that the members of the regiment should have cybernetics made out of tyranid skulls and stuff like that, bone cybernetic arms?

>>45482685
I suppose if they are an accomplished veteran then they might have earned the augments.
Also augmented eyes are like a given factor, especially for snipers and marksmen.

>>45482755
Didn't they just take out one genestealer cult anyway? It's not as if they have Tyranid bones just lying around.

The Taiping Rebellion would make a great Genestealer cult with only a little tweaking. Just saying.

Bear in mind, these are augmentations that underhive crime lords and the like can have fitted to their slaves and gladiators. Admittedly, Necromunda is a very wealthy, ancient and famous hive, but that still means that people at the very bottom can afford to make what are actually pretty advanced prosthetics from our perspective and, maybe more importantly, the doctors and medical technology to attach them successfully. Chunky, wheezing arms that just function as arms rather than buzzsaw on a pole shouldn't be too much of a problem.

>>45482755
Probably not made of the stuff (you'd need to get a techadept to custom make it, which seems highly unlikely), but I could imagine enamel style inlays from 'nid bone or dangling charms on otherwise mass produced prosthetics . Maybe fangs and spikes inserted in places like studs or built-in knuckle dusters, things like that.

>>45482868
>>45482892
I think that the black lettering looks nicer.
It looks great tho, as for the mandarin i have no clue but it looks cool

So I have an idea that might be on the wrong side of stupid.
Pressurized neon jet packs.
Neon because it's easily available, stays in line with the established fluff of attempting to induce ALL OF THE SEIZURES, and provides a fantastic mental image. Urban combat, even in a setting as densely packed as a hive, is always going to feature a massive amount of vertical warfare. The ability to traverse large heights quickly sounds indispensable to a force like this.
Also, neon green guardsmen riding columns of pure rave.

Right. Someone mentioned in the last thread an idea of having bikers as a FA unit, originating from gangs that happened to control the (relatively) open spaces of sewage treatment plants and such, based off of the New Territories in HK. Maybe these troopers are vets from whatever the Mid-Levels equivalent is; Mountainous or otherwise more treacherous than usual terrain bridged by a cyclopean collection of skybridges, floating walkways, and elevated escalators.

>>45482755
'Nid bone cybernetics are dope as shit

>>45482992

If we're looking for more rave inducement but with better science, I would suggest plasma weapons for vet squads.

Argon and xenon and such can be used to change the colors of neon lights.

Why not have small amounts of these gasses in plasma weapons to give them distinctive colors other than blue?

In this way, regiment or rank could be identified by ballin' funguns.

>>45483398
Yeh i suggested maybe a modded lasgun that changes colour evey x number of shots?
But idk

>>45483288
>New Territories
Most of the land there are intentionally left relatively undeveloped and used as country parks. Whoever do live there though are mostly related to the old families (or the original settlers, whatever you call them)

Unlike the people living in the rest of the city, male offspring are allowed by law to build a house of up to 3 stories high in approved areas. (therefore there's a lot more smaller houses in the area rather than the concrete jungle people associate HK with)

Dealing with those old settlers is generally quite a hassle, so there's an organization (Heung Yee Kuk) to help the government deal with that. Nevertheless they've ran into some problems (such as illegal constructions on those houses) which I think involved some literal shit-flinging.

My memory could be wrong with the shit-flinging though.

WEll, It does fit with the proposed tactics of 'Color and Mayhem" and 'Shock and Daze'

we could use stuff like reusable 'Flasher' Grenades that are just pulsing strobes set to a wavelength that their Masks are polerized against. And the three demensional Trap zones that they set down in the dense hives could utilize strobes and sound devices to disorent and mess with targets further. I'd see these kinds of tools being used on humanoid targets and genestealer cults rather than nids themselves.


THough, I would think that the tech needed to change las shot color would be pushing it a bit much for this regiment's background.

Although the vast majority of Hua Yuan‘s Guard forces use imported Galaxy or Accatran pattern lasguns, a large number of local designs have been catalogued by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Collectively known as HY-Grade Las Weapons, these locally manufactured devices are infamous for their ubiquity in the lower levels of the hive as well as their unreliability. Although inexpensive to manufacture (and thus perfect for use by underhive gangs), substandard materials and improper fabrication techniques routinely lead to problems not suffered by equivalent armaments. Among the most commonly reported is a failure to focus photon beams correctly, as well vastly fluctuating power outputs. These two factors often manifest in the weapon appearing to fire differently coloured beams between shots, often with substantially varying levels of killing power .

Hua Yuan soldiers issued with locally sourced weaponry often seek out replacements as soon as it is possible to do so, to the dismay of quartermasters from allied regiments. Nevertheless, enough have been observed in combat by other regiments for the phrase “a Hua Yuan lightshow” (a barrage that looks impressive but fails to do any real damage) has entered Guard cant in several theatres.

Yeh i think that the bright lights would definietely fuck people around, especially at night.
Imagine a group of these dudes smashing into some cultists penthouse at night, dropping coloured smokes and flashbangs.
Maybe, and im just throwing this out there, certain gas grenades carry highly potent hallucinogens that fuck people around, of course the exterminators would have rebreathers.

Another tool in the arsenal of the Hua Yuan Exterminators is the diverse set of 'Blinkers'. THese small devices consist of high intensity light bulbs hooked to self contained Power sources and rudimentary alternating systems. These tools are play an important role in the Exterminator's 'Colors and Mayhem' Doctrine, Serving to add yet another layer of disorientation and misdirection to the already cacophonous displays utilized.
These devices are All Flash and no bang, and very rudimentary allowing engine-seers and sharper guardsmen to manufacturer them in the field. Able to be thrown or set into traps, They are primarily used on Cultists, Rebels and Humanoid enemies

Speaking of cobbled-together electronics and whatnot, Sham Shui Po (as previously mentioned it's one of the poorest districts) is also home to the Golden Shopping Centre, the most prominent place for buying electronics in HK.
Apliu street is also famous for electronics, both new and second-hand, and it's possible to find electronics of all kinds there, even those dating to the 1940s.

>>45484542
In other words, it would fit pretty well if somewhere among the lower levels hides a bunch of mechanics and people who sell electronics/equipment of various age and (dis)repair

So what was the concensus on the Ecclesiarchy and the chaos Genestealer cult in Hua Yuan?

>>45484674
No I meant as they are now. Sure the guard may have BTFO the Nids on the first go around but they would have undoubtedly left some Stealers, which would have undoubtedly made a cult. That also gives them an enemy, and makes Hua Yuan a less pretty, Asian, Necromunda. Speaking of Necromunda, and the 80's, if you recall that time period, Warhammer's heyday, Genestealer cults could fall to Chaos and even folded beastmen into their ranks. In the previous thread I proposed that the Genestealer cult in Hua Yuan be Slanneshi in nature, and now I propose that they regularly adopt abhumans into their ranks, if only to keep their own numbers hidden.

And I can't remember what the Ecclesiarchy was like but they had Shaolin-esque monks with flamers and powerfists that cleared out sewers and shit. I think.

I'm not sure dragons are quite the right thing to add for this. I mean, on the one hand, yes, China. On the other hand, its a Hive. I'm not sure a chinese style dragon fits as a legendary creature for a group who spend their entire lives stuffed together underground, Rats and spiders are the traditional Necromundian beasties, and giant mutant ones of them frequently crop up in their stories. Cockroaches or wasps could work thematically here, but I don't know how they go over in China.

Thinking about it, a way to keep the sinuous form but for a more sinister creepy crawly aspect would be to use something like a Centipede. Hundred clawed, snake like body, dragon moustaches turned into antenna. You could keep the same kind of tatoos but with fanged insects, and these in turn bleed into Tyranid cult symbols,

Something to think about, anyway. Again, don't know about centipedes in China. There's this one
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_red-headed_centipede

Apparantly "In ancient Chinese traditions, this centipede is used for its healing properties. It is said that putting a Chinese red head on a rash or other skin-disease will speed up the healing process."

So that's nice.

>>45485279
Or you know, some made up shit.

We live in a gas and mineral, really resource rich planet, that the Nids had to have accidentally fucked up and landed on.

So either there was a badass beast that stalked the wastes, and the Nids squated it into legend, or perhaps the planet Catachan'd a Nid of some kid and theirs some old one eye wannabe running about the xenon tornadoes.

I can tell you by personal experience that cockroaches are definitely a problem in HK.

Our climate is similar to Florida, that should be enough of a hint.

>>45485342
This is also very true.

As much as love these flags, and they may be used at a more personal level, the more "sterile" ones would probably get used at anything larger than a squad or company at the very most.

>>45485301
Maybe the most prominent gangs just so happen to cover certain parts of warfare that the exterminators operate in?
So one gang specialises in melee, one in shock etc.
And the tats are essential part of gang culture as they represent what gang someone belongs to, enemys they have killed etc.
So on all exterminators there will be basic tats, one for the gang they are from and one for the exterminators regiment

Well, I'd say a large chunk of the pollution HK has is from its sheer traffic volume, while on some days depending on the wind direction the air quality drops even further due to smog being blown from the factories around the Pearl River Delta to HK.

The fact that there's not much space for wind to blow and dispel pollutants certainly didn't help.

>>45485914
here we see something less rare, but perhaps more valuable: real meat

birds bought or smuggled in from offworld are kept underground their entire lives, feeding off the insects that would nourish underhivers

Even in HK island (which I think is the equivalent of the higher levels) there's barely any greenery aside from Victoria Park and Hong Kong Park (which are probably tiny by park standards)

Most of the greenery are shoved off in the New Territories and maybe some parts of the island such as the Peak/Southern HK island areas. In urban areas land is simply too scarce

There are undoubtebly numerous chaos and genestealer cults, but in and amongst the sprawl and gangwarfare they kinda just slip through the radar.

That being said I want to know where everyone wants to go with them. 80's hair metal body horror freaks that could worship chaos and allied with beastmen with bolters, or the early 2000 cults that just existed to seed a planet and prep it for assimilation, or just straight Genestealers running amok.

I wonder if the conscripts and FNGs should wear really subdued versions of the regimental colors. This would represent the lower parts of the hive, which are dark.

As the soldiers go up in ranks they get brighter uniforms. This would represent them leaving the underdark behind. Maybe there's a sort of ritual of ceremony around this?

Top ranking officers get the brightest uniforms of all.

>>45486446

Kek, why would the Regiment be Chaos genestealers dude.

No the way I see it these fuckers are everybody's problem. Genestealer personality Cult/Slannesh worship is a huge problem for the Ecclesiarchy, and the last middle finger the Nids could give the place before fucking off.

The black market shenanigans (people, drugs, heretical technology, Nid Dust fresh from the source etc) would dive the Arbites up the wall, and every day would be raid day.

>>45486837
THIS kind of shit is what the Guard would be for. And my goal is to have this place fleshed out enough to act as a DH setting for a myriad of campaigns. It also adds an element of mystery. Why are there so many Nids still? Where the fuck did this iconography come from? Why are these Abhuman shits fighting WITH the tyranids?

Sure the place is big enough for there to be a Khornate Bikers gang small time, but I'm thinking about BBEG (big bad evil group) that allows the Exterminators to do what they are good at. And fighting Miami Vice nids seems like a good bet

>>45482078
Think it less of taking drugs for pleasure but more like how in Vietnam, soldiers took drugs because facing the reality of their hell without the drugs would mentally break them. They take drugs to avoid the hell of their lives, the fact it helps in CQB is a minor bonus.

Saying that, having some Slaaneshi heretics appear in the ranks should be more common than in most regiments.

Underground Nid fighting is a very very very dangerous practice that does exist in parts of the hive but it may not be what you think. It isn't nids fighting each other but unarmed and unarmored humans fighting nids while others gamble. Though the option to gamble that the human combatant will win is certainly there, the far more common (and profitable) wagers are made on how exactly he will be killed.

The practice is exceedingly rare, but can be found if you know where to look.

I thought they acted as the PDF as well. That's what all previous lore indicates. It's not unusual, I'm pretty sure Necromunda pioneered the idea of a combined Regiment+PDF. Perhaps they have reserve units, or place units not on a deployment on this duty, working tightly with the Ecclesiarchy and Arbites to find out where to hit and where to hit hard.

The Ecclesiarchy can only do so much on the Praetorian's turf, especially in a turf so crowded and inhospitable. And the Arbites can Exterminate like the Exterminators can.

the local Arbites probably operate in a manner somewhat similar to the Exterminators, but as you said, there's only 1 Exterminator division. They're one of Hua Yuan's many exports out there to make a name for their planet among the greater Imperium.

The planet itself is even more chaotic than you think with countless noble-funded armed forces all claiming to be PDF. The Praetorians, don't really care enough to step in.

That being said, a part of Exterminator training may be serving alongside or even as Arbites until they can be exported for the next tithe

this would both benefit the reputation of the Exterminators as everyone has to serve with at least SOME experience and the many noble houses as it forces those who want to serve to serve them by proxy for a limited time

>>45487345
No it is not enough.
Imagine all of that but with the added effect of being absolutely, completely fucked on DMT.

>>45487540
well I don't think tyranids can get drugged

really, the only faction that would really be useful on is renegade humans, since most other factions wear enclosed armor anyways

I like the combat stims and comforting bright colors better

>>45487515
Hm, actually that's pretty good. No real PDF, but a bunch of noble houses vying for power and trainee companies direct by Arbites running around trying to keep shit together.

Although you have to concede the point that if there's a major outbreak or a hab block goes renegade the Exterminators will be bringing the Rave grenades and the technicolor flamers.

So, that brings me back to my original stipulation. Genestealer triad, whose more human members are total Slanneshi speed freaks?

>>45487665
The most powerful of the gangs could be genestealers.
But i doubt all of them could becuse there are so fuckin many people and gangs that each one has their own agenda and cause constant turmoil.
Could range from a few crackheads fighting in a back alley, gunfights in hab blocks between drug dealers, to assasination attempts from rival houses.

Continuing our tour of the hive, we come across a shockingly common example of lower hive architecture. Pictured is a semi-collapsed walkway leading to a spent mine-turned living area for countless families. This area, like many others, is irradiated by the extremely dense atmosphere, industrial runoff from the upper levels and even exposure to what's left of the ship's propulsion systems.

>>45487735
I'd think the most powerful gang is directly connected to the PDF, Or the Regiment it'self. Fanatical at keepign the rot fo the 'Steela' Hout of their system, Their Brother Hood.


ANother Idea I had for the Gangs:

Initiates come in pairs, The first Born Son and the Second Born sibling. As the firstborn make up the regiment, The siblings are trained together, Everything they do, It's together until a certain age. They are then separated; The First Born is sent to the front-line enforcer squads, While the Second Child is sent to the various logistics needs of the Gang. This ties the regiment to their home, A heart beating ground side for them, in their place. that means that most longstanding members are Second Born Brothers, and First born Sisters.
Thoughts?

>>45487837

I like the way it brings family into this. Makes everything seem much more... personal in a way. But works with the "stoic" mindset as well.

>>45487735
Absolutely not. A single malignant entity. The second every ganger and rock slinging piece of scum becomes a stealer the Exterminators loose their recruitment pool and the enormity of Hua Yuan becomes insignificant.

One gang, headed by a single Patriarch, subservient to an actual Broodlord of Hive tyrant proportions. They are intent on seeing the fleet return, and with a single Tervigon, an ever dwindling Cadre of Warriors, and a steady stream of human hosts, the Broodlord slowly maintains his hive at the will of the Mind. The Patriarch and the other half breeds are just tools in his talons. That they associate with the mutant outcasts is mutually beneficial, as they are provided with safe haven and the Brood gains access to biomass that allows for some interesting and useful variation in successive generations.

That many worship the warp being of excess is inconsequential, once the fleet returns to the planet to reap the ever growing harvest the shadow in the warp shall be so great that the sycophants will be assimilated without the protection of their Daemon allies. For now it is just another means of expanding the brood.

Sounds good phamalam

Someone diligent and unbiased update the fucking page. This is one /tg/s best homebrews

I also argue for Voss pattern, because the folding stock is something the Chinese would probably love - apparently back in the day they really liked pistols, since they could add a stock to them and turn them into a makeshift carbine.

What arnored units would our guys have? Kowloon City on Steroids doesn't sound like a good place for APCs and IFVs.
Sentinels, however...

Also, what about the upper level criminal element? I'm not saying the gangers, I say the "Triad" dudes that server as enforcers to the higher echelon of the organized crime scene. Those guys and their tracking and assassination skills would be of value to the Exterminators.

>>45488215
Armor is a minimum. Tactics are throughing in some smoke/flashbang, clear the room out as soon as possible, and move on to the next room. Maybe every platoon has one armored squad

>>45488215
Idk how much the imperium has looked into this but maybe some form of battlesuit?
Agile enough to navigate enclosed areas, armoured enough to take a hit or two.

>>45488215
It's an infantry unit anyway. Being in a city like this would emphasise flootsloggging and areal transport. Sentinels, ACPS, and Knights only become possible once you level a hab block and set up a FOB

>>45488267
That sounds like a mechanicus Tool to me. We could probly roll up another regiment if we want to go that rout, A forgeworld group that is small and very specilized?

>>45488320
ONE THING AT A TIME.

But after this, yeah, sounds good.

>>45488215
They're an infantry regiment, so they'd probably have only a bit of light armor. Sentinels for scouting, perhaps some Tauros. Chimeras might be good, if only for the commanders who need to get around fast.

>>45488267
The closest they've done is the Centurion armor for the Spess Meringues. So nothing our Guardsmen could use.

>>45488251
>Maybe every platoon has one armored squad
Armored Fist groups sound like a good idea, if our guys were more mechanized, that is.

Also, IRL groups like SWAT and BOPE use armored vehicles in urban sprawl anyways. Granted, they aren't quite this hellish but those favelas are quite the shitstorm.

>>45488360
Oh, and Centaurs. Somehow I just see them using the little guys. Might replace the Chimeras with Salamanders.

>>45488360
We need to limit armor. We're infantry, and given the nature of our doctrine, we're light infantry

>>45488400
That's why I focused manly on light stuff - Sentinels, Tauros, and Salamanders are best for scouting and perhaps infantry support. The Centaur is a tow vehicle that can be adapted as a light troop transport.

I'm not saying they have to have a lot - it just seems odd for them to be nothing but footsloggers. They'd have to make up anything else heavy with portable lascannons and mortars.

>>45486983
This just made me recall the shotgun specialization from the original thread

>>45488439
Roger.

What about vertibirds? I won't be satisfied until I image these neon fuckers rappelling from a heli into a stealer den filled with void salt

>>45488460
And flamers. Neon flamerz.

>>45486983
Is this actually supposed to be cheesy? Because I like it.

>>45488516
You mean Valkyries? I guess, but they aren't exactly a drop regiment. Their use of them would depend on how the navy would feel.

I love the idea of shotgun specilization. It makes a fuckload of sence. Because as Gangers shotguns are some of the easiest guns to train people to use, are easy to maintain, and can have very versatile rounds! I could see Kiddie's first piece being shit like Pic related.

>>45488516
Arvus Lighter?

>>45488585
>they aren't exactly a drop regiment
No, but the vertical urban nature of the hive practically guarantees that at some point someone's gotta have to do a roof entry.

Homemade guns are the shit.

>>45488665
Those aren't very good for dropping from - they're more of a transport.

I wouldn't be surprised if they developed helicopters though. I imagine those would be primitive by Imperial standards, but would work a lot better for navigating a clustered hive.

>>45488705
Developing helis would be cool if we wanted the Mechanicus down our dicks. We can get away with Neon(Guys we need to make up an element at this point) propelled jump packs and "neon" (seriously, this isn't how neon works.) Flame throwers as well as homebrewed combats stims. A full on vehicle? I don't think so

aight, I think we can consolidate everything we have on the 1d4chan page

start a segment of the page or maybe even a whole page for the planet itself and we can keep working on that separately from the greater 1st Exterminators

it feels like we're working more on that than them anyways and we can really get into the nitty gritty of the planet itself, like naming and fleshing out the many warring noble houses and the different hive sections and the layout of the city

>>45488665
WEll, I bet they could at least use Civ-style Hover cars/trucks. Uparmoured but otherwise normal. I could see certain squads being equipped with rappelling/scaling gear

>>45488705
>>45488971
it'd also violate the separation of Arms that the Imperium enforces. Navy or specialized regiments take care of Air superiority, Regiments take care of the ground.

oh and the flag in that gallery needs to be updated to this

it's much better than the one I used a blur effect to hide all the white on that's currently up

>>45489132
Roll up another thing? Give it a day or two after the page has been finished completely. If we move on completely then that's just another excellent /tg/ idea left to rot before it was finished.

Besides, what if the next idea isn't as great? What if retards come up with some highly heretical shit like the Cardinal Knights and tout it as a great idea? Then letting the Exterminators rot would have been all for naught.

>>45489132
What would we need to roll up? The city itself seems to be something we're fleshing out rather well without need for rolling - lots of noble gasses in the atmosphere, probably on a moon, use Hong Kong as a guide with heavy doses of Kowloon and cyberpunk with some Necromunda for 40k's blessing.

The planet has been fleshed out like no one's business, and that's great. We should keep that up. I just think we need to get into the nitty gritty of the actual regiment a little more

What else needs to be fleshed out? I think we would be better off if some diligent souls (I'm a permamobilefag, so not fucking it) to go through all the threads and update the wiki. This is probably the best homebrew Regiment we've ever come up with. Even if it's five of us circle jerkin over our own sections of lore it's still collaborative and we will still pump out a brilliant finished project. First for models!

>>45489466
Heheh, I would not go so far as to claim it's the best, Mobilefag, But I am really really digging these freaks. I'll attempt to figure out the picture posting process and update the Gallery. DOn't hold your breath though, If it's not done in 45 minutes it will not be done by me.

really, I'd like to flesh this out more for the sake of ever running a DH campaign on Hua Yuan
maybe even as a thread on /tg/

regardless, I think we have a lot and need to consolidate it so that people don't keep getting confused about what fairly concrete stuff we've got

>>45489466
I'd be pressed to say it's the best idea evar, but it's certainly fun. It's nice to have something 40k that's that cheeky sort of silly that's not too over the top yet to be annoying. And I am kind of a Chinaboo or whatever you'd call it, so I'm especially enjoying this.

Models seem like they'd be hard to do. Most of the armor reminds me of something like Elysian gear, maybe even Kasrkin. And they'd need a bit of greenstuffing.

>>45489466
It's certainly one of the better regiments. That's the whole reason I started the first thread, because I was on 1d4chan and the homebrew regiments seemed kind of lacking

ALllright allright! We all love these Freaky fucks! Let's break this circle jerk and get back to fluffing and postan it to the wiki.
>>45489505
I have a world Named Contentum Mare I'm working on that's built to be playable in all of the TTRPG's if you're interested. I'd be down to roll a IG regiment for it.

>>45489488
God speed and God bless Anon. If you get even the images up that would be great.

>>45489505
Please go ahead. Even if you just make a subsection let's say "ECCLESIARCHY" then just copy and pasted the relevant sections of thread ("canon" stuff) into the page it would be far better than what we have now.

>>45489543
I don't think /tg/ has come up with anyother interesting Regiments, but this might be my favorite idea overall.

>>45489572
Damn, you must feel like a proud dad OGOP.

But seriously. Someone consolidate, I'd say a planet page, then a Regiment page. When I get a computer I'll make a Chaos Genestealer Cult page when I have time if no one else does.

In the mean time I guess I'll try and keep this thread alive and just spitball like I have been doing

>>45489640
*3998

>>45489611
Consolidation is king right now. But with that being said I think the birth of the regiment should be tied with the blossoming of the Genestealer cult into a planet wide hive fleet invasion.

So, with that being said, if we agree then which fleet did the invading? It can be canon or a preexisting homebrew, but preferably something with either aerial or subterranean specialization.

>>45489705
Judging by the colors on some tattoos, maybe it was a new hive fleet. Probably one that evolved to survive in Hua Yuan's atmosphere after some time. Maybe they'd thought the whole fleet had been struck dead, relaxed, and then realized that some elements of the fleet had escaped to deep within the dead parts of the city and slowly rebuilt.

>>45489543
UPDATE: Made a profile and am Uploading the Pictures. I'll upload them first and then ask you guys to help with descriptions.

>>45489808
I say we change the top picture

>>45489769
EXCELLENT. So. New Hive fleet, got generally BTFO'd by everyone (I'm assuming the Praetorian's got involved and called for backup then claimed the planet?) Because there wasn't a lot of biomass, and the biomass that was there was ridiculous to harvest, as every gun toting nigga in the place picked up their gat, burna, and shotty and got to work. These former scumbags turned selfless warriors of the imperium eventually became the regiment, after the Praetorian's no doubt took the best of them, put them through the Schola if possible, and made them commisars/commanders. Or something

Meanwhile every Trygon, Ravner, Stealer and everything else that could make past the Virobombings (they ARE Exterminators) and Holy Promethium/"Neon" (Seriously what multicolored/colorful gas/gases powers their jump packs and ghetto flamers?) saturation went deep into the crust. In fact this may be why they push the lower layers of the the Hive ever deeper, to flush the bugs out. To see what the Hive became refer to
>>45488119
Except add more subterranean bioforms and what's a Genestealer brood without a few Lictor cousins?

that's an easy one

the colony ship could have been fleeing from a planetary tyranid invasion or passed close enough to a hive fleet that a small amount got on board

either way, the tyranid boarding led to the crash landing and those left onboard afterwards were (mostly) rooted out and destroyed

>>45489705
>which fleet did the invading
we could always roll them up

>>45489941
>(Seriously what multicolored/colorful gas/gases powers their jump packs and ghetto flamers?)
Only the Mechanicus knows exactly what this gas is actually called and composed of, but the hivers most commonly call it "neon", most likely after the visual effect provoked upon inhalation.

Okay, I just finished adding the pictures I can. Flash and Clear is too big, and I'm not sure what to do to shrink it. Tripfagging for the purpose of answering any questions relating to the 1d4chan page and gallery.

to be honest, I just saw someone making variants of the flag that I didn't like, and decided to make some variants for fun

>General Yeoh Hong.png
Uploaded this guy and added a description of my own devising, Let me know if it is acceptable and I'll add it to the fluff section.

The leader of the Hua Yaun 1st, Colonel Yeoh Hong. A veteran of the birthing Operation of his Regiment, He is the mind behind the Regimental Doctrine of 'Color and Mayhem' which was used with great effect on the Genestealer cult infesting his Home Hive

>>45490172
I dunno if they're too heretical, others do far worse

>>45490179
He had somewhat of a write up in the first thread

>>45490172
Maybe making them so that they are obviously Soylent Nid but ambiguous enough that the Ordo Xenos doesn't go ballistic?

You could also have the troops using the "neon" gas from their canisters as stims of sorts.

>>45490162
>>45490098
I think that may be one step to far, yet another toy in our very large playbox. THings like that sound a bit heretical as well as very hard to keep a large amount of ammo on hand. The Ordos Xenos would probably not be too keen on it's use as well. FInally, Arn't our boys addicted to that stuff? why would they waste if shooting it from a cannon?

>>45490183
Actually ingesting/injecting xenos substances? Who else does anything close to that?

>>45490209
Neon stim I like a lot better. They can touch it up with vague il-reputed sources, and we never have to expand farther than that so people can have their bug drugs if they want.

>>45490247
>Neon stim
Seems like we use neon for everything. Maybe there's a type of fungi that breathes neon that grows in the lower level that they use instead

>>45490247
>Actually ingesting/injecting xenos substances? Who else does anything close to that?
The Kroot.

>>45490272
>The Kroot
colloquially referred to as XENOS

>>45490247
>>45490221
>>45490209

So Neon as a kind of Propellant/Accelerant AND a drug?

It's like huffing fucking gasoline.

That being said Nid Dust can definitely be a thing. Maybe even secretly distributed by the Praetorians to keep folks in line.
I don't think we can really go overboard with the historical references and comparisons. Subtlety is not the way of 40k, nor that of the Exterminators.

>>45490166

Any thoughts on these?

>>45490269
Could be - it'd be an interesting and attractive sort of plant life in a hive with so little of it. Milder versions might be used as foodstuff.

>>45490272
Anon, those are XENOS. It doesn't matter if xenos do heretical things.

>>45490301
Plus it would give people reasons to go to the lower levels of the hive. Also gangs to distribute the stuff

>>45490269
>>45490247
the stims are commonly referred to as xenon

this, alongside the Regiment's tendency to loot 'nid carapace or claws has started rumors among those they serve alongside that they inject themselves with their blood or other fluids, which they don't care to dismiss as it honestly sounds like something they'd do as part of a wager

>>45490299
I don't really want to fluff out allies and enemies if I can help it - leaving them as their own thing lets them be something fun for other people to use. We already have the Praetorians, and that should be enough.

That said, Mechanicus allies. I have been in favor of Daft Punk techpriests. The White Scars might not work well because they're Mongolian and it'd be a pretty damn awkward relationship if they were seen as anything like the real world Manchu, but hey, I'm an Amerifat, what do I know?

>>45490297
>>45490301
The Blood Angels, then. Or some of their sucessor chapters.

As for the neon breathing fungi, maybe it's the remnant of a Tyranid attempt to make the planet more nommable? Naturally, Genestealer lairs are packed with the stuff.

I've finished posting the Pictures that I was told to post! I've also changed the Top picture, As I feel 'Flash and Clear' Is exemplary of the Exterminators.

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Hua_Yuan_Exterminators#Gallery

Take a look and tell me if the descriptions are good, I could also plug in some of the Write Fagotry, Just point out the ones from the various threads you want added.

>>45490377
That works, or it could just be some fungus that adapted or was more better suited for the conditions in the lower hive that was on the original ship. All it takes is some spores. They could mix the shit with Tyranid adrenaline, though. Like the sythn'd fungus is the normal stuff, and the blood fungus is the guard's signature rendition

The Blood Angels don't really drink xenos blood if they can help it, as far as I can tell. I think on some level they find the idea abhorrent, and they've never drank anything other than human blood in the fluff.

>>45490339
The Scars or Talarans wouldn't be allies, there would definitely be an open blood fued between the Lords of the Fast Attack and our Patrick Nagel Operators.

The Mechanicus allies 100%. Their ingenuity with the stuff they have without openly committing tech heresy and their contributions to forge worlds via precious, useful, and or rare elements would be much appreciated by the gear heads.

I think we have firmly established that the Daft Priests, or Tech Punks give them augs (replacing those lost to a scything talon or booby trapped door), chrome their augs, and give them sweet tats and blessings from the Omnisiah. >>45490423

You guy's are doing the emperor's work

>>45490534
Well it could be a combination of Neon huffing (Probably done by the guys with the Neon flamers), Snorting Nid Dust (common place amongst door kickers and logistics) and consuming the fungi (Done by sane folks looking for anew edge)

All this drug use would probably be heavily concealed and kept under wraps. Makes the prideful unit look bad.

>>45490481
What does that symbol mean?

>>45490568
Yuan.

>>45490568
Garden. It's the first part of the planet's name. It's also the reg's insignia

New thread tomorrow?

Also is someone going to go through all the threads 100%. Because there's neat little pockets of lore and stuff, like the stuff with Olanius Pius, and bits about culture and even really wierd but unique stuff about the gangs and the genestealers.

I feel like only the big stuff is making to the page.

>>45490536
Please this. Might want to skip out on the Taiping stuff for now, but Ricci seems solid.
