I want to build a special army, /tg/. I don't want to make a vanilla Space Marine army, but I don't want to go full xeno either, so I came up with an idea similar to the old Deffwotch campaign.
The premise:
> Xenos have everything needed to start a space marine chapter, either through theft or reverse-engineering of Imperial STCs
> They are using it to infiltrate the Imperium for some reason
> they must actually wear the power armor, use the vehicles, etc.
> Chaos Space Marines didn't do it since they already have SM equipment
> Tyranids didn't do it since it is against their nature, but genestealer marines aren't impossible
> Mechanicus could have just put servitors in power armor, but other Imperial factions had nothing to do with it
> The Imperium has no idea that they aren't real marines, let alone a chapter. Think Deffwotch.
First to roll a 7 decides which species did this. Every 7 after that is a detail about the chapter, and it takes 3 votes to remove a detail from our canon.
Rolled 2 (1d7)
>>44181671
This premise is pretty stupid. Let's try it.
Rollin for Necrons.
>>44181671
dice+2d10
like 2 or 3 xeno races that may or may not know the others are xenos.
Rolled 3, 6 = 9 (2d10)
>>44181974
I fail. hard.
Rolled 7, 6 = 13 (2d10)
how do i roll
necrons
Rolled 9, 5 = 14 (2d10)
>>44181671
Rollin for Orks. What dice do I roll, or is it based off post number? Rolling 2d10 because that's what other anons are doing.
Rolled 5, 2 = 7 (2d6)
Rolling for Squats
>>44182059
Squats it is.
>>44182053
I'd prefer post numbers, seeing how many people have failed to use the integrated roll function.
Rolled 10, 2 = 12 (2d10)
Rolling for Dark Eldar.
>>44182059
so dwarves in power armor?
>>44182083
in that case, squats.>>44182077
>>44182059
>>44182077
Two sevens in a row, roll and post.
>>44182096
This is what happened to the Squats. They put on Marine armour and integrated.
>>44182077
Squats? They're too close to human for me. They would end up just being regular Space Marines, at least model-wise.
>>44182120
YOU SET THE LAW.
NOW YOU LIVE BY IT.
WHO RUN BARTERTOWN?
>>44182120
Dwarfs with power stilts.
Power claws. Pic related.
Rolled 6, 6 = 12 (2d6)
>>44182137
THE MOTHA FUCKIN SQUATS RUN BARTERTOWN
>>44182137
But wouldn't they be considered an Imperial faction, even if retconned?
I'll still go for it since I haven't seen a dwarf chapter before, and this could be interesting.
Squats it is, then. Every 7 or 4 roll now just adds fluff details for the chapter.
>>44182180
Depends on the relationship between the Squats and the Imperium.
I see a lot of bad blood between the Squats and their ancestor worship vs. the Imperium and it's God-Emperor.
Rolling for Squats to be working from the inside to bring down the Adeptus Mechanicus and replace them with The Squat Machine.
...the power armor is 2 squats standing on top of each other.
Rolled 4, 5 = 9 (2d6)
The squats are behemoths in comparison to other squats.
Rolled 8, 6 = 14 (2d10)
>>44182231
WE'RE ALL SQUATS WITH STOLEN NERCON WEAPONS AND CHEST PLATES AS ARMOR
The Squats power armour is just their beards braided together and grown out to resemble Space Marine armour.
Rolled 6, 3 = 9 (2d6)
>>44182390
I second this
>>44182390
>>44182408
i third this.
Rolled 10, 5 = 15 (2d10)
>>44182425
OR I WILL HAVE VICTORY BECAUSE OF NO 7/4 rolled
>>44182383
THIS IS THE TRUTH
>>44182477
Looks like you've done it. We now have a chapter of Squats whose power armor is made of beard hair.
>>44182477
all of the squats have neon dyed beards.
>>44181671
Each suit of power armor is normal-sized, but manned (squatted?) by a pair of squats, one atop the other.
Rolled 4, 1 = 5 (2d6)
THE SQUATS HAVE A PHOBIA OF GETTING THEIR BEARDS DIRTY TO THE POINT THAT THEY WILL KILL IF SOMEONE EVEN MENTIONS ANYTHING DIRTY BEING IN THE VICINITY OF THEIR BEARD/POWER ARMOR
>>44182502
WAIT... WUT? I ROLLED FOR MINE ;-;even in the grimdarkness of 4chan there is no hope.
>>44182552
My mistake. I saw your link to the other post first, but it looks like everyone else has clung to the idea. How about they have beard-armor with Necrodermic plating underneath?
Rolled 6, 2 = 8 (2d6)
>>44182593
HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF NECRODERMIC PLATING THEY HAVE MORE BEARD HAIR UNDERNEATH?
>>44182593
Necrobeards.
The Bearded Dead.
Dawn of the Walking Beards.
It's the beards that control the Dwarfs and their power armour.
The beards are actually a parasitic lifeform. It is THEY that are the true masterbeard behind the Squats extermination and stealthy infiltration of the Imperium.
Rolled 6, 5 = 11 (2d6)
>>44182651
As comical as this sounds. I'd love to see it happen
Rolled 6, 1 = 7 (2d6)
>>44182651
Thirding the Beards of the Living Dwarf.
>>44182651
I want this
>>44182717
The Sevens have Spoken.
>>44182717
double win
the "Necrobeards" are capable of being killed while leaving their squat hosts very much alive, but very very bald
