And that's every discussion starter used in the previous threads. Some of these are already closed accounts, but will be used more as a reminder of what still needs to go on the wiki, and things we need to clarify.

>>45786671
Agreed, just thought I'd through it out there.

Would Hua Yuan have a navy, just out of curiosity? Or would that be provided by the Praetorians?

>>45786975
>>45786836
Jesus Christo!

>>45787335
Hey man, anything to keep the thread alive so we can get cooking with steam

>>45787363
Alright, you've spent time on the wiki, what seems lacking?

>>45787414
There was this one anon that would post pictures of China and fucked up urban environments with precise and succinct answers to the above questions. They need to get onto their.

Just subtle cultural stuff, the little things, especially with the Regiments.

Updated numbers, the new and improved histories, doctrinal data, stuff like that.

Stuff that already exists basically, but I'm too shit to add onto the wiki without major consequences.

>>45787324
It would have its own SDF, but I think a larger Imperial Navy presence would be provided by the Praetorians.

Think in real world terms like some junks to provide basic defense, and 18th century sailing ships that can go up to similar designs owned by most world powers.

Also, just so we're clear - the 5th Scouting Division is mechanized, right? Sentinels, Salamanders, Tauros, that sort of thing.

>>45787598
If you can link me To the posts I'll add all of it and then some

>>45787614
They where the guys that operate within Hua Yuan, right? Well in certain areas armour is going to be useless without serious collateral to make way or make room. In those situations I think rappelling and free-running is going to be king.

A wheeled Taurox variant and bikes like the Recon units might not be bad though.

I still plan on writing a long story once the project is "finished" but I don't have time right now

>>45789798
I'm guessing you're Alone in Glory anon?

>>45789866

Yeah, man.

It's nice that these threads are still around, I was really expecting this to be over with already.

>>45789884
I'm tryin' man, I'm tryin'. Although we won't be done until the wiki is updated fully.

I should have made this thread have a topic, I think...

>>45789903

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I've been looking for the laser/fog Exterminator drawing as the OP image since it started a lot of the earlier threads. Maybe try that next time. (It might also just be slow tonight)

>>45789976
I'm thinking it might be slow is all as well.
The Hua Yuan Exterminators interest me, I'll take a look at the wiki pages for them.

>>45790003
I like the sanguine shields, you gotta hold on to that man. Good stuff going. Don't let up. One tip: Dont bump with bump, just respond really briefly to some post.

>>45790063
That there is some good advice, Anon.

So the Hua Yuan exterminators are like drugged up Hong Kong Gangster Guards? Seems pretty cool to me. I like it.

I know you guys were saying that this is mostly for consolidation and not writing new material, but I'm still working on the 5 major noble houses of Hua Yuan

I can present what I've got if anyone's interested, but it's gonna be a couple pretty big posts when it's done

also, this needs to get added to the 13th somewhere

>>45789067
The Hive of Hua Yuan itself began to change the Exterminators, proud of their heritage and the conflict that forged the regiment, they adorn themselves with trophies of the mutated tyranid monstrosities who still sometimes appear the in the bowels of the mines below the hive. The mines themselves are slowing becoming more and more crowded as a population explosion brought on by the arrival and subsequent official imperial support for the exterminators has crowded the hive to the breaking point. People now live in the mines themselves and the "underhive" is a constant battleground between gangs, the policing companies of the regiment, and occasional re-emergent genestealer cults.

Due to the near-perpetual darkness of this area and teh hive itself, punctuated only by the bright neon and noble gas signs that are found in abundance due to the saturated atmosphere of the planet. The regiments have adapted to this painting their armour in garish colours and using bright lights and disorienting tactics to stay one step ahead of their enemies, who often have the home-field advantage deep in the bowels of the mines.

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,

>>45790140
>CONT

There's always blacklight paint and ink. It looks normal in daylight, but shines fluorescently under UV
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklight_paint

That way you could have regular-ish looking fatigues that don't annoy the commisariat but pop into neon cyberpunk nightmare tribal patterns in hive-country.


As a side note, the Administratum generally hates it when non-Garrison worlds hold onto their IG regiments (hence PDFs). Most deliberately move them as far away from the homeworld as is feasible so that they don't get too attached to their homeworld rather than doing their duty for the wider Imperium, and IG regiments are usually part of the Imperial tithe. If you wanted a higher than normal amount of IG on the planet, perhaps you could have the PDF constantly cycling into the Guard proper rather than being a separate force - people are recruited into the PDF, train, when the regiments are called up the PDF are put forward first before the rest of the population pool.

WOuld it be possible to have our Boys using Multicolored Smoke-bombs and Paint bombs in combat to allow their colors to fit in off planet?

I'm thinnking that they are so used to choked enviorments that they fight in the smoke like others fight in the open air, and perhaps use 'Paint shells' in bassalisks to blanket an area they are to guard in their colors, to disorent, draw attention and camouflage If that could work?

>>45790205
I could work on something, I guess

I'd really like work more on writing than flagmaking right now but I can get around to it

what did you have in mind?

>>45789976
Shit. Yeah my bad

>>45790236
The 13 put in a more 40k script, for starters, then have skulls on the leaves but point the teeth at the bird skull.

As for colors have the skull be green , the floor pink, the skulls on the leaves orange and the Razor be green with black stripes to show that it's shiney.

Am I making sense?

>What other special wargear do Hua Yuan Regiments have that we need to make note of?

Checked wiki, ploughed through archives. Standard Kit needs work.

Use of fireworks and coloured smoke seems to have remained canon but isn't mentioned in unique equipment or their kit, blinkers aren't in their kit either.

Las Uzi from thread 6 needs a write up as well as an alternative to the lascarbine. Being HY grade or not isn't mentioned in kit.

They originally had a history of war trophies, we've emphasised Tyranid trophies but haven't ruled out other trophies, taking weapons from dead enemies and keeping them as regiment "relics" was mentioned in thread 1 but isn't on the wiki.

We've mentioned their use of rappel lines, this should get a mention and be added to their kit.

Also, we've got the Hua Yuan Exterminators page covering all the regiments and their idiosyncrasies, there should probably be one page thats generally for the Hua Yuanese military and one for each regiment or regiment type, it's rather crowded.

>>45790443
Not it.

>>45790443
>Las Uzi from thread 6 needs a write up as well as an alternative to the lascarbine. Being HY grade or not isn't mentioned in kit.
Stat anon statted it up in one of the threads, and there was a minor write up if I remember right

I think the crowdedness is because of a lack of organization, anon

>>45790443
So neon jet packs was retarded, but I just got done playing titanfall.

Even if it's limited to just the 1st, is there something like their Pilot harnesses? Basically something that allows for wall running and double jumps?

>>45790563
>>45790443
>All lasguns have a variable power setting.
>Regular As per stat block
>Overcharge +1 dmg, Double ammo consumed per shot.
>Overload +2 damage +2 Penetration, >Quadruple ammo consumed per shot.

>Well as i understand it, all lasweapons are semi automatic and that automatic fire would destroy their barrels too fast. Even hotshot lasguns.

>The only las weapon that's fully automatic is the multi-laser that has multiple barrels.

>So This Las-uzi would have two/three barrels that alternate shots so it doesn't melt from the sheer rate of fire you put out.

>(This is just looking at Darkhersy/only war statblocks. so i could be wrong.)

>>45790205
Now i wouldn't nessiarlly call you the inventor. I made the stats before any fluff came out.

>>45790723
Fair enough. Do you agree with
>>45790333
At least?

>>45790699
>Certain members of the guard found that more traditional las-weapons weren't quite suited to the task at hand, and resorted to a more homebrewed reciepe. The las-compact submachine pistol was a signiture of the gangs and mechanius of Hua Yuan, its compact nature and high rate of fire are well suited to the cramped and narrow home it was born in. Its shot-count seems to varry per chargepack, but is otherwise reliable for something so niche.

That's what I got so far. Any thoughts?

>>45790776
Sounds good to me, it feels leagues better than it was in its initial stages.

>>45790699
The Las-uzi had the same basic stat block for the Auto pistol with a few changes.

30 shot magazine, Energy damage, and the Overheats quality.

---------
There's also the Hua Yuan Shotlas

Which has the same stats as the Combat Shotgun, But has the The reduced weight, and Corrupted Pattern Variant Pattern rules. Also it does energy and not impact. but that's a given.

I think we should take this bit by bit. Take a piece of lore not represented on the wiki, get someone to compile the information on it, make the writeup official, slap it on there, and move on

>>45790910
Good idea.

Let's go with history first, the most important aspect.

>>45791023
Remember anything you feel was left out or wasn't focused on enough, Arbites?

>>45790910

this moving towards what you want?

>>45791055
Yeah...go through the threads and search for RicciAnon's stuff. That goes on the world page unless it's seriously Regiment related or retconned.

Then I dropped stuff on the aforementioned conflict
>>45790140

Search for Exterminatus. I think it was in the last thread actually...

That's all I can think off.

>>45791125
For sure! But what I meant by the skull was just take the one on top of the Hua Yuan and just rotating it, you know what I mean?

And maybe black razor edges?

>>45791059
Threw it up, dunno what you guys think. It's retty sloppy

>>45791180
Sloppy is fine, brother. Remember, it's easier to format a wiki than it is dredge through the threads for tidbits.

>>45791213
I'm glad someone threw up the bit about synth music. That made me happy.

Still suprised no one has mentioned anything about the Jade Fire Sect, considering how popular they seemed

>>45790680
Any thoughts on this? Maybe it's just Grenadier wargear so they can keep up their squad?

Also for the wiki need Regiment culture for role play purposes.

>>45791281
The Jade Fire Sect isn't there?

Jesus christ, even now that they can have flamers and fists?

Well looks like you have your task, anon.

This anon is going to sleep. Emperor willing the thread is there in the morning.

>>45791369
We salute you for your faithful service, get comfy guy

>>45791369
Quick, someone give me the rundown on these jade guys. I never cared for them, so I didn't pay attention

>>45791344
One per squad perhaps. The grenadier jets up and anchors the rappel lines, the rest of the squad then climb up.

>>45791625
That sounds good. Definitely limited to the 1st Exterminators, and limited to the Grenadier Squad Leaders.

>>45791344
Some of them are just good at parkour. Remember, our hive particularly has no room

>>45791660
Yeah, but Grenadiers are Stormtroopers "lite" not light. They are often the most experienced member of a squad and the most combat effective. But also the bulkiest. Also consider
>>45791625

Just small grav packs or something, limited to the Grenadier Squad Leaders in infantry companies.

I think they're done

>>45796313
They're not on the wiki, though

>>45792227
Jesus christ my eyes burn.

Even turquoise and red kind of match in an odd sort of way, but magneta and forest green just clash pretty damn hard.

It's probably what you're aiming for anyways, but just my two cents.

>>45796762
Then throw them up on there?

>>45797018
I would, but I'm mobile

>>45797090

>>45796302
They're just a company though - an element of the First Regiment. Bikers and Tauros and Salmanders, oh my.

Not sure if Rough Riders can be scouts.

>>45797112
It still needs to be added to the wiki regardless, even if under the 1st regiment section

Wait seriously? Yeah they definitely go under the Regiment page.

The whole company is Basically this army MOS

>>45797867
I thought we agreed they had Salamanders and Tauroses and stuff. With bright lights and flashy colors.

>>45798290
As well as Taurox, Chimeras and Bikes.

Modern Cav Scouts have a similar armoury, save the bikes. And yet they still conduct Reconnaissance and scouting.

Anybody tried their hand at making concepts for the "Las Uzi" yet?

>>45799712
I think the better question is whether it's a pistol or a carbine

Anyone able to update the wiki?

So what's the company structure of the 1st Exterminators?

It looks like they have different companies for different jobs.

>>45799712
Why not just an autopistol? The Voss-pattern kind is already an Uzi.

Really it's all my fault. Should have used the usual image

The 1st Hua Yuan Exterminators is a smaller Hua Yuan Regiment, even amongst other Exterminators units. They supplement this smaller size with highly specialized companies composed of highly skilled experts and with the support of other Regiments. The 1st has [X] companies.

The 1st Hua Yuan Exterminators company structure is thus, all nicknamed after legendary or otherwise mythic creatures supposedly existing in Terra or significant cultural facets in Hua Yuan;

>Infantry- The famed Hua Yuan urban fighters, light infantry, unique wargear
>Mechanized- Light Armour and small mobile artillery, used to hold strategic positions or support Infantry with transportation or fire. Some specialize in Mounted Recon and act as QRF's within the Hive battlefield
>Logistic- Support units that aide the complicated and finely tuned war engine engine that is the Exterminators
>Specialized- A spare few companies that don't fit into the others and are purpose built for a single task or battlefield role.


>Alpha/Alligator Company-Infantry, experts for "swamp" fighting, aka sewer fighting.

>Bravo/Bull Company-Mechanized, tank company composed of chimeras and salamanders. Used to cordon off areas and set up killzones for infantry squads to operate within

>>45807419
Feel free to add companies

Bump.

Where the fuck is everybody?

>>45807419
but there are specific regiments for the companies you described. I figured the first would be largely exterminators with like 30% grenadiers

>>45807829
Grenadiers are Squad leaders.

And you don't understand, the armoured companies are for shit like Baneblades and siege engines. Other than that, no. No there isn't.

>>45807815
Waited a while to make a new thread man. We need some prioritization up in here, cover what NEEDS to be added or expanded and call it finished

>>45808333
The thought was that we update the wiki in the interim and then address problems in this one.

Turns out we're all worthless fa/tg/uys

>>45808482
Nawh, we just need solid goals. This should realistically be done by now, but I guess we're all just lazy, which is understandable.

I fucking hate bumping threads, but don't let this one die out. I promise to god I'll do all I can tomorrow to fuck this shit up once and for all

>>45808797
Oh no it definitely is. It's just a matter of putting it on the wiki, and there's a decent amount of conflicting lore between threads

>>45808905
Who the hell do you think I am? I'm going to be a faggot until this shit is finished one hunna

>>45808915
I think dates are really it. The narrative of mining colony ship crashing on barren moon, isolated by warp storm, discovered by praetorians and farmed for men is settled. We just need minor details and dates

>>45808954
That can be worked out in the Talk page.

Gangs and Noble Houses. He have the Imperial presence fairly well figured out, but everyone is pussyfooting when it comes to defining the big players, which is what a ttrpg needs, leaving room for GMs to make their own

There's no reason not to post them ITT, but noble houses is good. Should be easy enough

>>45812355
We will not give up without a fight

>>45809166
Alright, noble houses is a go!

>>45814718
Working on the write-up now. Will post what I have when I'm done

>>45815032
The Praetorians may own the planet, but it is the noble families of Hua Yuan that truly rule the planet, divided though they be. The vast majority of noble houses are descendants from the original crew and important personnel of the Hua Yuan, who took up leadership roles after they were crash landed and stranded on their moon. Although none of the original crew of the vessel could boast of noble blood, their control of the space and resources present on the ship ensured their importance. As a result, the descendants of those initial de facto leaders are still performing the same tasks as their ancestors, but on a much much larger scale. Through introduction of Imperials, hundreds of years of marriages and alliances, and praetorian interference, there are considerably more noble houses than there ever were, ranging from near powerless to controlling a third of the hive, leaving the top tier just as crowded as the rest of the Hive. Most nobles are absolutely cutthroat, politicking based around trying to take their neighbours land, when the land in question is basically the size of a nice apartment. Lesser nobles of larger families are often upsets, since they have a name but not much else to back them, as resources or limited even for the rich. Violence is just as common in the noble world as a result, trying to violently seize a small family's assets, or trying to carve out a larger piece of the inheritance pie by infighting with your family. The violence present in the upper and the lack of proper governing by the Praetorians led to an ass-load of private para-military forces employed by the noble families to enforce their laws on their property and go to war with other nobles.

>>45815396
It is believed that genetic traits common to Voidborn, such as pale skin, red hair and unusual eye colouration, entered into the hive cities genetic makeup via the crew. Hivers who manifest some or all of these traits are sometimes called Starborn. Depending on local superstition this could be seen as an omen of good or bad fortune. Some among the nobility claim descent from the ship’s Navigation and Astropathic contingent. While this is at least faintly plausible, it seems far more likely that it is a face-saving lie to excuse the appearances of the more grotesquely inbred dynasty members.

With the arrival of the Imperium and the Sisters of the Orders Famulous, a number of new bloodlines have become rising power players on Hua Yuan, much to the chagrin of established households. Arranged marriages between native nobles and off-world guild families, distant planetary nobility and even the bastard children of a few Rogue Trader dynasties have brought with them wealth and resources from the larger Imperium to the planet. These social climbers are often the most willing to work with Imperial forces on Hua-Yuan and are far less likely to follow native religious beliefs. In exchange, these families tend to receive more profitable contracts, judicial decisions falling more often in their favour and their first-born receiving more advantageous placements in Guard regiments. This is the cause of some resentment among the more ancient noble families, particularly when their complaints are dismissed as "mere coincidence".

>>45815404
There are noble alliances that sought to gain power and influence in much more destructive ways of Heresy. These alliances are bound in secrecy and conspiracy. Be it worshiping the Ruinous Powers, plotting independence, joining the the Tau Empire, or even seeing the return of the Hive Fleet, these nobles seek to undermine the other houses or take the Hive completely. Bound in shadow by their drive to see the Imperium driven out of their moon, the are as divided against themselves as they are in secret against the loyalists. The are only bound together by a single charismatic figure that plans to see all their goals fulfilled, and their supremacy dawn on Hua Yuan.

While the weakest of political powers, the noble trade guilds are united in their love of money. Nominally loyal to the Emperor, these Rogue Traders, Guilders, and Barons are singularly obsessed with amassing their fortunes through any means possible. While the Praetorians may have their name on the moon, it is this band of nobles that is focused on exportation and importation, and the economics therein. While not as heretical as some noble houses truly are, they are certainly not above dipping their hands into the black market.


AND that's it. Tell me what you guys think, and then I'll head over and add it to the wiki.
I'm also working on a list of noble families that were typed up in the thread, so there's that too.

Thinking about tackeling the Ricci stuff. I think we should save the next thread for finishing up the actual regiment, since that will require more creativity and less searching through archives

>>45815973
Actually, is Riccianon still around? I'd love his input once I'm done

>>45815420
I really like the genetic variance wrought by void born. I hope to God you mean cherry red hair.

I don't know about making the Guilders a weaker political party, I added them as megacorp standins

>>45816605
Alright, so maybe they command the least respect, but they're one of the more influential in their control of the interplanetary economy?

>>45816631
Oh yeah, everyone hates them but the Praetorians.

But they have the economy by the fucking balls

>>45816631
That would make sense with how the Imperium runs things

>>45816779
While loathed by all on Hua Yuan, the noble trade guilds are united in their love of money. Nominally loyal to the Emperor, these Rogue Traders, Guilders, and Barons are singularly obsessed with amassing their fortunes through any means possible. While the Praetorians may have their name on the moon, it is this band of nobles that is focused on exportation and importation, and the economics therein. While not as heretical as some noble houses truly are, they are certainly not above dipping their hands into the black market. Their influence is far reaching, controlling and overseeing all imports and exports, requiring anyone who aspires for wealth to begrudgingly work with them.

This any good?

>>45816862
Ayyy

>>45816932
Noice, I'll through it up under government

>>45816978
Aight, its up. List of Notable houses, yay or nay?
If I do do that, I feel like there should be more notable games

>>45817081
Yay for sure

>>45817130
Aight, how many sentences you think is good? Some have a paragraph written about them, others have less than a sentence

>>45817190
>The original Olavis was the head chef during Hua Yuan's fateful voyage. Growing up on an agriworld, he was well familiar with running a farm as efficiently as possible. Realizing the value that good will quickly gain, Olavis enlisted as many farmhands that he could, and quickly occupied as much land as he could. Generations later, the Olavis family produces all of the rice, fruit supplement, "beef and chicken" (dogs and bats), and any other speciality foods required to be grown. Always vying for more territory on the lower middle hive, they run a sizable private security contractor and own much of the lower north east. They gained the nickname "5th tower farmers" after a natorious gang they employed as protection called the "5th tower orkz", who were known for painting themselves green. The descendants of this gang make up they're current security forces. The current patiarch is Corvo Olavis, a ruthless man who marks up his prices 200%. A known warmonger, we sponsors as many local gangs as he can, hoping for warfare to spread so he can take the territory damaged in its wake.

>The Thaddeus and Yao Partnership effectively united all the Gas farming facilities under a single management. Seen as a proper marriage between Foreign interest and Domestic relations. The deal will be finalized upon the day of the two partner's children's Arranged marriage to each other while currently its in a transitory preparation stage.

>The House of Duboui runs 85% of the legitimate mining operations in Hua Yuan with an iron fist. Literally. While none of them are Mechanicus by any stretch of the imagination, they consider themselves to be "Cybernetic Enthusiasts". They have deals with the mechanicus for top of the line implants and replacements for the family. The rumor mill states that they want to control that branch of the mechanicus financially as a "Nest Egg".

>>45817190
That's the thing with 40k, the super fleshed out stuff gives you upper and outer limits, and a model to base things off of and a base to play around in.

A sparse few words allows folks a lot of room for creativity.

Personally I feel you should just expand on what you find interesting.

>>45817560
>One of the most ancient houses in the Hive, House Mintichrius, or the Minty crew, was established soon after impact by the then chief mechanic Johann "Minty" Mintichrius, what was left of his division began immediate breach repairs on the ship and, due to much of the command chain and mechanicus cult being killed or maimed upon impact, was defacto authority over most of the engineering and maintenance crews. His leadership in the early days is responsible for much of the hives ramshackle construction and shoddy electrical work. His motto of "A job worth doing is worth doing badly" still stands among his dynasty and their crews of wirers, pipers and voidsuited construction workers.

>A divergent branch of the Commander's descendant house, House Kuàijì commands the Adamantine, Gold, and Electrum mining on Hua Yuan. They are highly devote to their esoteric beliefs, and work extensively with the noble guilds of Hua Yuan, exporting their ores to nearby worlds. Large supporters of the Imperial presence on Hua Yuan, they especially work with members of the Ecclesiarchy, giving the territory for the Sororitis to set up a base of operations. Because of these relations, they have solidified their place in the Imperium's eyes, but have become targets for the other noble houses.

>>45817660
>>45817560
These names need a little more...Asain flavour I feel.

>>45817897
I didn't come up with them, but they're supposed to be the decendents of the colony ship's crew. We can bastardize their names to make them more asian-y, though

>>45817949
Bastardizing shit is like three quarters of 40k

>>45818017
>Oravi
>Thaddues and Yao sounds fine
>Duxuo
>Mingixou
>Kauiji is fine

How's this? Pretty half assed, but its a start

>>45818184
I love it. Throw it up in the wiki?

>>45818184
Out of all those names only Yao sounds remotely like a Chinese name.

Duxuo is close, but I'm not versed in Mandarin phonetics enough to figure out something that sounds like a name based on that.

The others simply don't make sense.

>>45818455
Like I said, half assed. I was also trying to maintain enough of the original name as possible. If you can do better, please

>>45818479
Here's the problem.
English names work very differently from Chinese names, hence most Chinese translations are nothing more than mashing together characters that sounds phonetically similar.

(not like there aren't any that also sound like legit Chinese names, but those are pretty rare, and I don't think I can do it with what we've got)

It'll also break the "Minty" nickname, I think.

>>45818601
I'm hesitant to change any of the names outright, but Olavis can probably be changed to something like Shaoguan

Since there's going to be all these nobles added, I rolled up another gang, and they just turned out to be space Pinkertons

tell me what you think:

>The Chengguan are a private security and detective agency on paper, but are little more than thugs for hire. Founded by Zou Chen in the lower hive, rumors ruthlessness and violence these gangers committed spread throughout their corner of the Hive. Eventually they were hired by a noble family to settle a territorial dispute, which is where they got their big break and renown. They butchered the rivals forces so thoroughly that no one is quite sure who exactly they were fighting anymore, only that they’re no longer around. Once the most extensive and well known “guns for hire” gang around, they have no central structure, only a loose bureaucracy that ties each outfit together. Most of their work involves supressing worker riots and maintaining civil order for noble houses, but they are known to take any job, from being hitmen to private detectives. Members dress in expensive uniforms of magenta and cyan, using money extorted and robbed from the people on their turf to buy the most state of the art equipment around. Anyone can hire a Chengguan to do any job, as long as there’s money and violence involved.

>>45818943
>remembers what Chengguan stands for
>hollow laughter

They're going to be complete dicks like their real-life counterparts aren't they.

>>45819049
That's the plan, stan

>>45819116
Perfect.

>>45819146
So they're good for the wiki?

>>45819202
Depends on what the others think

>>45819244
I'll just go for it. It can always be removed.

Gonna start with ecclesiarchy stuff after I shower

>>45819342
Dope. It's a neat bit of lore.

>>45819833
What do you think needs to be done

>>45820370
Gangs, we need a few more, preferably non heretic to even out the roster

>>45820521
Well, that's what our tables for. I can roll one up, or we can do it here, then fluff them accordingly

>>45820539
Ehhhh. That feels like a cop out, ya know? Like if you don't use the tables you can make something unbound by rules.

I'm feeling a techno raver gang/shadow cult ran by that shadowy DJ servitor guy

>>45820752
>>45820752
I guess so.

I remember when you proposed this, I think. How big should they be? I'm feeling like they should have a loose structure, since clubs are all over the Hive and they're united under one figure

>>45820813
I feel this is one of the few cases where a club is static.

Maybe it's deep within the Brimstone and built inside one if those massive trams. So it moves around

Alright guys, didn't get as much accomplished as far as delving through the archives as I wanted, but I hope what I did helped. I can still contribute, but I'll be on mobile, so who knows how much that'll be

>>45821015
What did you get done?

>>45821718
Oh, the noble houses stuff

>>45822132
Ah coo, coo. Where you able to identify the RicciLore?

>>45822560
Yeah, and I compiled it, but I didn't summarize it in time

>>45804232

Hey, could fit. Why does it always have to be lasers? Seems laser weapons tend towards the single shot/semi automatic rather than the automatic. The autogun's strength is that it's a bullet hose, even if it has nowhere near the magazine capacity or universal reliability of a lasgun.

>>45823170
Don't think of it as a lasgun that shoots quickly, but as a continuous laser thats interrupted several times.

>>45823248
That just starts to sound more like a hellgun or a hellpistol.

>>45823582
But shitty.

Who's all here?

>>45824338
HKanon here, mostly just lurking

>>45824338
As always.

I'm gonna call myself Cyrus because the scouting company is my baby.

But I gotta go so yeah not like that matters.

>>45824558
Hi Cyrus

>>45824558
>>45824399
Nice to see we have some regulars

>>45824602
Hi

>>45824627
Yeah, I've been in and out since the first few threads. I actually brought up Ricci for the first time, though Riccianon obviously did the most work with it.

>>45824684
What do you want me to add Cyrus

>>45824924
To the wiki, I mean

What're we discussing guys

>>45826588
There's a couple things I want to iron out.

The actual structure of the 1st Exterminators.

An example of a famous regiment of each kind.

Gangs, we need more of those.

Info on the Mechanicus, and info on the navy.

What do you want to tackle first?

>>45826920
Mechanicus first, we've talked zero about them

>>45826957

Yay!

>>45827020
What're they like?

>>45827074
>>45827020
>>45826957
Daft. And punky.

Considering their level of knowledge (read, low) they are going to be more affected by the culture around them then be as culturally pure as other Mechanicus cults.

The Mechanicus that the Imperium brought with them probably runs around sperging out on how X, Y, and Z doesn't conform, or is borderline Tech heresy.

>>45827380
So they're divided? That works! What sorta tech they got? Probably too many glowing lights

>>45827538
The native tech cult is as flashy as the rest of the hive. They abide by most Mechanicus conventions, but the abundance of platinum, Adamantine, Chromium, silver, and other "shiney" materials often used to decorate Bionics and Weapons in Hua Yuan has caused the local cult to be glittering from head, clad in chrome and adamant.

The musical culture of Hua Yuan has seeped into the local cult as well, and their Psalms rival in popularity with most Rocker tunes and Jockey beats.

Fucking shameless bump

Okay, so they're Daft Punk. That's cool, I like that.

But we've had more specific details about the Mechanicus in 40k over the last few years - surely we can take a few of those things and make them really fit Hua Yuan? Like maybe the electricity shooting guys.

>>45829550
>Electricity guns
Go on...

>>45829611
No, not guns. Like the Electro-priests.

>>45829918
Holy shit.

Well I mean, how much stuff is Mars exclusive? And how much can we justify for being on the ship when it crashed?

>>45829950
Maybe someone remembered the pattern and built it from memory

>>45830042
The thing with Hua Yuan Tech Priests is that they are Chinese knock offs, the originals are Datum Drones and no one has the code.

>>45829950
I don't think it's Mars exclusive - they're described as worshiping a third part of the trinity that forms the Omnissiah, something called the Motive Force - basically electricity. They're only described as being a rank of techpriest and otherwise a normal part of the cult, so it's not as if they might not have been on the ship with other techpriests.

Besides, listen to this quote from the Lexicanum about the Corpruscarii:

>The forefathers of the Corpuscarii focused their worship upon the Machine God – they believed his light should be brought to the galaxy and expended great resources in subsequent Crusades.
>Literally filled with the Motive Force, the Corpuscarii spread the blessing of illumination in the name of the Machine God. Blazing with lightning, electrosurgically prepared for the unimaginable power coursing through what was once their veins, a Corpuscarii Electro-Priest discharges incredible, sparking bursts of thrumming energy, shaking apart enemies in an ecstatic religious fervour.

Doesn't that sound perfect for Hua-Yuan? A bunch of somewhat crazy electricity-obsessed priests, shooting lightning everywhere to literally light up the night?

>>45830128
Well, if the guy did it by memory then it'll probably be a knockoff

>>45830146
Forgot my name and the fact that the Corpruscarii is the kind I posted a pic of earlier. The other kind are the Fulgurites - they tear electricity out of things with their staves because they hate waste.

>>45830146
That does sound perfect. What's the other part of the trinity?

File: daft thumbs up.gif (674 KB, 400x228)

674 KB GIF

>>45830297
The Omnissiah himself is probably part of the trinity, being the Machine God, and the Emperor is considered his physical manifestation, at least officially. Basically there's Tech-God, Emperor-Jesus, and the Holy Electro-Spirit.

On Hua Yuan, especially since there's constantly going to be electricity coursing around through neon lights and such like that, I imagine the Electro-priests would end up pretty dominant.

>>45830396
Sounds good to me actually.

How could they veer from the Cult in ways that would make Mars uncomfortable?

>>45830508
I...really don't know, since I don't really know much about the specifics of the Machine Cult.

Maybe they prosthelytize to the masses in huge showy displays of song and rhythmic beats? Preaching to the masses of the Cult Mechanicus is one thing, but doing it with such sacred technology that was never meant for such gaudiness is near-heresy.

>>45830793
They through raves and invite everyone

>>45831005
>>45830793
I feel like this may be too much along the lines of diving too far into the Rave culture of cyberpunk.

What if they went on raids themselves, swarming the streets every now and then to destroy heretical technology and the like

>>45831974
I like it, everything on Hua yuan is about protecting your turf and muscling others

>>45832025
Here's a concept. What if the local cult has the bionics market down on lock?

>>45832381
Would they do back door deals on high level tech for favors and greenbacks

>>45832454
Well my thought is that they'll get you chromed and tatted (electoos are a thing holy shit) for a "donation" to their humble cult.

Also Electro-Priests was a fucking great idea dude, their chanting, the tattoos, it all fits fantastically.

>>45832544
Well it does fit. They can even make their electats kind of stylistic - they could be actual pictures, or chinese characters.

Imagine a guy with GLORY TO THE GOD OF TECHNOLOGY written on his back in electoos.

>>45833771
That would be fucking sweet.

Actually you get tatted by the Electro-Priests for good luck and protection. There's some Sects that do it, but they may or may not be heretical.

>>45833806
>they may or may not be heresy
You can say that about a ton of shit on our Garden

>>45833806
>>45833964
So looking at Electro-Priests, they could scribe some sick tats on you, some even embued with the light of the Motive Force, but wholesale bionics seems like something they're not into. Who could be our Chromed out Daft Punks willing to chrome a fool with some thrones and fervour?

>>45834036
Probably based on how cool they think he is. Not useful or anything, but just someone they think is useful or interesting

>>45834168
*cool or be interesting to see how it turns out

I'm tired man

I'd do a write up for the tech priests but it's fucking three in the morning. Are they all fleshed out?

>>45834522
Read the fucking thread dipshit

>>45834989
Calm down dude, it's late and he's tired.

To answer >>45834522 , more or less. They have a daft-punk look and feel, but they have Electro-priests who have elec-tattoos in chinese/english that are blessings of sorts.

>>45835345
Ayyy, you're back
