Reminder that we will not only be making the lore and background for our creature, but also rolling for the actual stats and points costs. A couple other tables have been added and a few numbers tweaked since last time. In addition, I will take any reasonable art along with stats and post it on 1d4chan later on. If no art is made I'll probably make one.


Roll for the creature's environment/world

Rolled 95 (1d100)

The creature survives, sustains itself and thrives in and around cities where more intelligent species dwell.

Our creature is a scavenger. It feasts on the already dead or discarded trash as it roams the city depths.

How does the creature reproduce

sorry friend. it wasn't a d10
>>45111383
We reproduce asexually, meaning there is only 1 genetic blueprint of ourselves and we essentially clone ourselves to reproduce.

What is our creature's main sense?

Welcome my good friend.
>>45111477
our main sense is taste. We likely have a long sensitive tongue that can easily pick up long deceased carcasses or forgotten food in the recesses of the city/hive.

Now for our conflicts. What major faction has had to deal with our species the most?
>roll 1d100
>>
Rolled 45 (1d100)

>>45111579
>>
>>45111597
Orks. Are we a Squig gone wild?
>>
>>45111597
Orks. Our species has had to deal with the brunt of Ork infestations and attacks. Many of our kind live this memory. We find ourselves making way into the relative seclusion of dark, dense cities for our own species' protection.
>>
>>45111691
forgot the roll for our species role in the galaxy at large.

We are a dangerous species. Rightly feared throughout the urban landscape. No one tries to hunt us or tame us out of fear of retaliation. The Adeptus Arbites and local forces know of our presence, but the forces required to deal with us would be too great.

roll for our singular exemplary action

Anything is a Squig. Daemons? Spiky squigs. Nids? Also Squig like.

The height of our own creature's actions was defending itself from a Space Marine or 2 who were sent to hunt us. By no means did mean to hunt them down, but we devoured their bodies. (or at least tried to). That'll teach humanities finest!

Okay now is the creature design part. Here's where were go into our actually creature's stats and abilities and a little on their looks.

roll for creature size
>1d10
>>
Rolled 7 (1d10)

>>45111914
Maybe we're some kind of Wendigo squig.
>>
Rolled 5 (1d6)

>>45111930
Quadruped, but we didn't do the 1d6 for the size. I'll fix that.
>>
>>45111954
oh your right my bad.
Looks like we're a big guy. Hard to hide in the city, but we get around.

roll for locomotion (would be weird if we were flora though!)
>d10
>>
Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>45112011
>>
>>45112021
So wait are infantry or a quadruped? If we're infantry we could do the Wendigo idea.
>>
>>45112021
PHEW not flora! Looks like we walk upright on two legs. (looks like we could be a giant scavenging urban squig like thing.)

we're still at 15 points

this table is new. what's our skin surface like?
>1d10
>>
>>45112036
could be! after this skin surface table most of the design stuffs are set.
>>
Rolled 3 (1d10)

>>45112079
>>
>>45112102
Hair. The only Squig that produces hair is a Hair Squig, so I don't think we're really a Squig.

now for our attribute bonuses!

>>45112173
>>
>>45112173
post after this will be long, and give some overview to what we have so far!
>>
We're a Space Wendigo who lives in a city, and has eaten two marines at least and gets into fights with Orks. Are we dewelling in an Ork settlement, watching as the Ork tax man tips his top hat to poor Orks, or are we living in a Hive City where there are some Orks living in the Underhive?

oh man only got + 1 Toughness

Overview:
Our creature thrives in an urban environment where it scavenges off of thrown away food or dead bodies left by gangers or otherwise. We reproduce asexually, essentially cloning ourselves constantly. We mainly use our sense of taste to stalk the city corridors likely at night. Our species has had to dealt with Orks in our past. We are feared by the population, but we are too strong to be effectively put down or tamed. Our creature has singlehandedly taken down at least 1 Space Marine who was trying to hunt us. We walk upright and we are large therefore probably sticking to undercity sewers and tunnels to move about. Not only that but we are covered in fur or hair and are probably mallamian in nature.

Our stats so far are
WS - 4
BS - 0
S - 5
T - 6
W - 1
I - 4
A - 1
Ld - 10
Sv - 6 +

21 points so far.

We are largely unarmored but we are tough!

>>45112402
alright I'll use your number and
>>45112401
I'll take both

We get:
Acid Blood - 3 If the creature is killed, non-creature models in base-to-base contact suffer a single automatic S4 hit before the model is removed as a casualty.

Deadly Attack - 8 The creature gains the Smash special rule

We are now a 31 point monster.
>>45112450
lol

okay keep rolling the
>1d35's

Rolled 11 (1d35)

>>45112474
I can always post on my phone.

Rolled 10 (1d35)

>>45112474
anything but one.
>>
Rolled 30 (1d35)

>>45112474
>>
>>45112507
Enhanced Senses - 3 Units may not infiltrate within 24" of a creature with this ability.

Duplicating Attack - 10% of our total cost and a very fitting ability since we are asexual. If the creature causes two or more casualties in the assault phase then roll a D6, on a 5+ place an replica of the creature within 2" of the first. This new model now counts as engaged in combat. The new creature has the same profile and abilities as the original, excepting that it has only one wound on its profile and it does not have the duplicating attack ability.

Resilience - 3

roll for resilience roll.
>1d3
>>
Rolled 3 (1d3)

>>45112590
>>
>>45112590
correction resilience is 5 points.

Which puts us at a total of 41 points.
>>
>>45112618
I mean 43 points god dammit can't do math.

>>45112617
We now have a 4+ invulnerable save vs energy based weapons. aka lasguns, laspistols, hellguns, hell pistols, pulse carbines, and pulse rifles.

I'll probably do a rought sketch of the creature and post something on the gallery section of this page some time during the week:

>>
>>45112702
I think we might be somekind of parasite, taking over the bodies of the dead. Everytime we kill someone, or eat enough dead bodies, we turn it into a copy of ourself. Perhaps it retains the look of the dead creature, like a skinwalker or such.
>>
>>45112821
I will add that to the lore when I upload the creature, because it's interesting. Thank you anon.
>>
Also any ideas for additional tables or things to change give me advice on it. It's very welcome.
>>
>>45112821
Sounds good. I was thinking something like that.
>>
>>45112761
I will be checking for the update.
>>
>>45112966
I think I need a couple more tables that really add to the creature's sense of place in the 40k universe. Maybe what segmentum it's from, but I can't think of anything else. Maybe what era the species' 'golden era' was in.
>>
>>45113031
Sounds interesting.
>>
>>45113031
I don't think it really needs that. It's an apex scavenger capable of surviving off damn near anything. Assuming it's a feral creature the Imperium probably exported the damned things for waste management.
>>
>>45113135
Or the thing smuggled itself into a ship and escaped after that.
