There is a new presence in the eye of terror, hungry for war
let us roll ourself a chaos space marine warband
Legion Warband or Renegade Chapter? (d10)
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>45722173
Alright 'ere we go
>>45722307
Renegade Chapter
now the reason for their downfall
Why did they fall? (Renegades only) (d100)
Rolled 31 (1d100)
>>45722339
Rollin!
>>45722363
They tried to fight heresy with heresy. The Ordo Malleus made them pay gravely for this when they found out.
Ouch, what a shame,
Who was the Warband's Progenitor? (Renegade non-Legion Descendents only)(d100)
Rolled 54 (1d100)
>>45722383
The warband's Progenitor where the Blood Angels,
how far have they fallen?
Devotion to the Ruinous Powers (d10)
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>45722400
>>45722418
Fanatic. The marines of the warband are highly devoted to their God(s), willingly submitting themselves to the Ruinous Powers and viewing possession as favourable.
Fanatical to the max
Chaos Worship (d12) (Ignore if your warband's devotion is "loathed")
Rolled 12 (1d12)
>>45722425
FOR CHAOS!
>>45722449
Roll again, twice.
Gee Bill, TWO chaos gods?
Rolled 11 (1d12)
>>45722480
Rolled 4 (1d12)
>>45722480
Here's hoping for SLAANESH
>>45722496
Lucky hopes, we got Tzeentch and Slaanesh
What form do the Chapters' beliefs take? (d100)
Rolled 43 (1d100)
>>45722507
Rolled 55 (1d100)
>>45722507
Hope it's cool
>>45722512
Death to the False Emperor - The Marines despise the carrion lord and his false empire. They hate every aspect of the Imperium and fight to bring it apart.
Looks like the harsh judgement left them furious and betrayed
How do they seek to destroy the imperium?
Warband Demeanor (d10)
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>45722537
>>45722643
Honour Amongst Thieves. Despite being evil and cruel individuals, these Marines have a strong sense of brotherhood. Many would never even consider betraying their fellow warriors an option, and would even sacrifice themselves to save a friend's life.
Despite all they have gone trough and fanatic devotion, they still are brothers in arms
Common Mutations/Deficiencies (if Neutral or Fanatic devotion) (d10)
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>45722667
>>45722674
Freakish Skin, their worship to the god of change left their appearance warped and colorfull, littered with scars and decorations on behalf of the Dark Prince of Pleassure
Common Mental Flaws (if Fanatic devotion) (d10)
>>45722709
Why not have them be covered in feathers? Sanguinius had wings, Tzeentch has birds, and Slaanesh probably loves shit like peacocks and birds of paradise.
Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>45722709
>>45722738
Let it be, they are covered in patches of feathery growth in rainbow colors
>>45722747
Horus, is that you? - Marines have trouble remembering certain things and occasionally hallucinate.
The whole betrayal and unlocking of new pleassures and power left them mentaly shocked, as some marines are occasionally delusional
Figure of Legend (d100)
Rolled 13 (1d100)
>>45722786
>>45722898
It is a Champion of Chaos, who did.. things
What things?
Deeds of Legend (d100)
Rolled 25 (1d100)
>>45722911
I bet they were lewd things.
>>45722931
The figure is remembered as a scourge of the Imperium, having ravaged many planets and slaughtering servants of the Emperor aplenty.
Killings, enslavement, sacrafices, rape and pilliage, all led by the Champion, his deeds infamous in the Administratum's archives
Now lets talk homes
Warband Homeworld (d100)
Rolled 22 (1d100)
>>45722978
>>45723021
Industrial World
Somehow theese maniacs managed to wrest control of an industrial world, having good ties with the dark mechanicum to bring enslaved captives to feed the dark rituals to bind deamons to their metal new forms to be used around the galaxy agains the hated imperium
Homeworld terrain (d100)
>>45723021
Desert world, that was fast
Combat doctrine (d10)
dice+d10 >>45723070
>>45723310
keep trying, you will get it eventually
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>45723070
>>45723322
>>45723270
That wasn't me.
I just had to erase a name and accidently threw the roll in its place.
>>45723325
Drown them with Bodies - Warband makes heavy use of mortal servants as cannon fodder, sending them in waves towards the enemy.
Their sense of brotherhood despite the turbulent times keep them from waisting eachother's lives needlessly, rather using disposable cultists and heretics
Special Equipment (d100)
>>45723354
Then i apologise
Jesus, these guys are stumbling around in the darkness, aren't they? Poor bastards are the lost teenagers of Chaos.
Caught between honor and vicious evil. Between devotion and ruthlessness.
Between two different gods.
They even started off trying to save the Imperium and being left out to try for it.
Being these guys is suffering.
Rolled 5 (1d100)
>>45723393
I'll also roll up after my commentary.
>>45723421
Betrayed by those who they once trusted, and accepted by the ones they used to hate deeply, it shattered their perception of good and bad, as they franticly indulge in whatever they wished before, while living a pranoid existance, their only anchor in sanity being their battle-brothers, its a truly miserable existance
>>45723441
Preferred Fighting Style, i have actually no idea what this means, so il ask one of you to give it meaning
Warband Status (d10)
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>45723497
>>45723622
Massive
Despite going trough all that traumatic shit, they managed to heep their numbers very high, how?
Cause of increased strength (If Slighly Overstrength or Massive) (d10)
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>45723671
Let's find out!
>>45723685
The Warband joined forces with another Warband that shared the same goals or a common enemy.
Looks like they have found another warband suffering the same fate as them, and offered to take them under their wing, as they can relate to their feeling of being betrayed and the following hate for the imperium
(christ, this is sad, their story and all)
Warband allies. Who has our back? (d100)
Rolled 4 (1d100)
>>45723727
>>45723799
Warmaster Abaddon
Friends on high places, for some reason, the massive warband of Tzeentch and Slaanesh worshiping slavers got the support of Abaddon himself.
I truly pity them, their once-greatest enemy became their biggest ally, no wonder they are demented
AND FINALLY
Who are the Warband's enemies?(d100)
This is one of the coolest warbands ever. Too bad we didn't roll Khorne, I think it'd fit more, but still, awesome. Gotta give them a name and think about how is it with them and the Black Rage.
>>45723956
Maybe they didn't even want to be violent rippers in the name of the emperor, maybe the Blood Angels just made chapter of the least-violent of them, and they didn't stand up to their expectations, they tried to do something heretical to help them fight heresy and they got caought, and from then it went only downhill
>>45723992
Yeah, but Khorne would fit more with the rage filled vengence amd stuff. I guess.
>>45724020
Tzeentch and Slaanesh where rolled, but the Black Rage would mean some of them would eventually snap and go full berzerk on the battlefield
Rolled 28 (1d100)
>>45723870
>>45724081
Specific Ork Waaagh!/Warboss
As we speak they are fighting an ork waagh, purging xenos of life still gives them the faint feeling of pride, ridding the galaxy of theese destructive and crude creatures.
Ho, boy, now its naming and color time, any suggestions? I was thinking metallic blue with purple patterns to reflect their choise of worship
>>45724151
I'd like to think that they need some serious duality to them. Definitely one of those neat vertical-half color setups. Shiny silver and tarnished rust color for contrast, or something to that effect.
And I don't want to be super edgy, but I'm thinking something incorporating 'Tormented' or 'Unquiet' or something within the name. I feel like their inability to sit still and have peace should be part of their identity.
>>45724151
These poor bastards have only two things that are constant.
1: Trust and loyalty in their brothers.
2: No matter who they are fighting for or against, Orks will always be assholes.
As for the name, maybe the Forsaken (insert something here).
>>45724322
I like the "Unquiet", it has this edgy ring to it, and this warband is edgy as fuck. Colours I'd for a chaotic (not Chaotic) mix of Slaaneshi/Tzeentchian silver-purplish mixed with blood red.
>>45724322
Aqua Angels, as opposed to their Blood Angel origin?
And i think rust is a bit nurgle-ish, and since they worship the lord of change and prince of excess, it would make sense if their design would be a bit over-the-top and blueish-purple deep colors
>>45724345
When the rituals are done, and the stimulus drugs wear off, they take off their armor and look at eachother, flawed, feathered, colored and changed, feeling regret and a sense of unity they share their sadness as a last shard of their lost humanity
>>45724378
>>45724392
I definitely like the idea of having a metallic blue-purple for one of their colors and a brighter color on the other side.
Of all the things I suggest, I think the split color is key with these dudes.
>>45724441
Yes, there should be two contrasts, well, what about blueish-purple and shiny silver?
Here's my mock up.
>>45724653
looks just like i imagined em', i just think the pauldrons can be silver or something else bright to seperate them from the Night Lords
else than that it looks great
>>45724720
Agreed. I really like it.
>>45724780
then we still got a name to give them, something to reflect their origin, or mentality, "Forsaken Angels" or something
>>45724720
>>45724780
How about this?
>>45724845
Awesome, shows their dark faith, along with their pure past
>>45724834
I'm not sure the Blood Angels factor into their identity much, but I like Restless Angels. It makes them seem more intimidating while using that Forsaken and Unquiet bit we've got going.
>>45722738
Peacocks and fallen angels?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melek_Taus
>>45724834
What about the "Angels Apostate?" They're extremely zealous, so they'd probably embrace their new religion and their cursed status whole-heartedly.
>>45724653
>>45724845
>>45724720
>>45724653
>>45724392
You know, an Aztec/Mayan theme would be a great look for these guys, at least when it comes to decorations and style since they have the rainbow feathers (hugely significant in those societies). Aztec/Mayan societies very heavily believed in the concepts of duality, change, the relentless advance of time, of imminent and unavoidable destruction, and of the constant, ever-changing alliances and destinies of the Gods. Change and uncertainty were huge parts of their lives and cultures, and radically altered their perceptions of the world around them.
They lived life to the absolute max all day all the time, because they believed that it was only a matter of time before they themselves faced destruction. They threw massive parties, lavish ceremonies with depraved acts, and became more and more excessive as time went on before the Mayan collapse and the dissolution of the Triple Alliance at the hands of the Spanish.
>>45725545
>>45725554
Fuck, a peacock warband sounds fucking cool.
>>45725572
So then lets do it!
What name did we settle on? I vote Angels Apostatebecause I thought of it.
>>45725554
>>45725572
>>45725701
OP here, sounds fucking awesome
>>45725554
Hindu aesthetics with its obscene wealth and glamor could be a pretty good pick as well.
>>45724151
It makes sense they primarily fight Orks. It must bring an unimaginable amount of self hatred upon themselves to fight the Imperium
>>45726050
Or any xenos in general
>>45726078
Right, right. I say primarly Orks because there are lots of them and they're fun to kill.
>>45726106
And nobody likes orks, not even other orks, so they are the ultimate target
Seeing threads like these makes me want to develop a back story for my own chaos army, though I normally run with Lucius the Eternal, so would that complicate things too much? Are there any tips for developing a background with special characters involved? I'm probably going to have to explain why he's off with a relatively small group of slaneesh/nurgle word bearers either way.
So a Tzeentch chapter and a Slaanesh warband joined up? Or should it be the other way around?
>>45726506
I feel like, if the Angels where betrayed by the inquisition for using heretical methods to make up for their shortcomings, and suddenly find themselves humiliated and betrayed, they would look for a way out in occupying themselves with chemicals, drugs, sex, stimulants etc to escape the harsh reality, so that would lead them to Slaanesh, and after that they would find another fallen chapter, that suffered the same fate, but tried gaining power to pick themselves up, leading them to Tzeentch, both understand eachother and they merge
So to sum up so far, we have blue/purple/silver peacock marines with vaguely Hindu and Mayan leanings that are called the Angels Apostate?
This is a solid concept. Anybody else want to flesh them out like the Exterminators?
>>45729014
I'd like to, but I'm no artfag.
>>45726322
Is there anything in the fluff that says Lucius is doing anything specific right now? Eg Typhus is around the Cadian gate right now, is Lucius meant to be anywhere planning anything? If not that gives you more flexibility than other special characters.
>>45722173
So did you make up all the possible results for the different dice roles yourself, or can I find them somewhere for myself?
>>45729472
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Chaos_Warband_Creation_Tables
>>45729280
Failing that you can always pretend that it's not Lucius at all but some completely unrelated character who just happens to share his stats.
>>45729828
A champion of Tzeentch and Slaanesh?
>>45730652
Chaos slightly divided?
>>45730832
Kek.
But seriously these guys have some serious staying power. Pretty boys through and through that where betrayed by the Imperium and now plot endlessly while staying true to one another? That's fuckin cool.
>>45731264
It does beg an important question, though.
What Heresy did they originally commit to cause their excommunication?
>>45731325
Didn't we have to roll for that?
>>45731325
Well they got the boot for using heresy against heresy...Daemon blades? Turning to Chaos to control their Black Rage/Red Thirst? Turing their Librarians into Daemonhosts?
My vote is for chaos swords.
>>45731418
So daemon blades? Maybe even capturing Daemons?
>>45731679
Nawh, keep it to heretic tech
>>45732051
Get back to work. Nigga.
Heretic tech? Like what?
>>45732338
Fine, fuck you
>>45732437
Joking;_;
>>45732548
Nawh, I just forgot to take off the trip is all.
>>45732588
I feel u.
So what kind of Heretek? Personally I feel Demon weapons fits the Fallen vedic angel vibe?
What if the whole Hindu look only happened once they fell?
>>45732634
That makes sense. Maybe they started the Mayan stuff when the Tzeentch folk joined the ranks. It's like rubric marines, but not really?
>>45732681
I'm feeling the more Hindu elements then Maya. Maybe the Hindu elements had overwritten the Catholic space angel elements
>>45732713
>>45732681
Also, there's already a South-American themed loyalist /tg/ homebrew. Hindu is something I don't think has been done before
>>45732713
Well I'm saying the Hindu elements came shortly after they went heretic (Slaanesh) and then the Mayan elements were brought in by the rest of the marines that joined the band. (Tzeentch)
>>45732737
This >>45732733
I can't think of any way of combining Maya and Hindu without it being a mess. It's better if the joining warband brought the Hindu and the BAngels scrubbed the Catholic motif away.
>>45732824
Fair point.
>>45732839
The question is whether they fell to Slaanesh or Tzeentch first
>>45732900
Slaanesh. Can't out plan the Tzneetch man
>>45732949
Okay. How did THAT happen?
>>45733111
Well, they were tricked into serving tzneetch, obviously
Maybe he wanted them to go Slaanesh first to make them powerful, and once they were battle hardned, he took them
Or maybe he thought they would be useful for him, and took them
>>45733111
Is it heresy to start using noise marine weaponry against heretics?
>>45733288
Most likely. I'm still in favor of collecting Daemon relic weapons, and Slaaneshi Daemons pushing them towards and unachievable goal for perfection. That or Tzeentchian Daemons manipulating them into crazier and crazier shit to be able to beat chaos, then they fuck up and get excommunicated. Then kama sutra CSM bring in their horribly mutated peacock angel friends.
So who's the leader of the Warband?
So.
I WILL be making a new thread. I love these guys.
>>45734385
We're nowhere close yet, and we should really get all our important stuff worked out. I'd answer >>45733751, but I don't have great ideas for it.
>>45733406
My vote is on collecting deamon weapons
>>45733751
There would be 2 important figures, their Chapter master turned Chaos lord, and their Legendary Champion
>>45734583
Okay, cool enough for me.
So the Angels Apostate...what's their homeworld?
It's a desert Industrial world, possibly Indian in theme. We need a name so we can make them a wiki
>>45734769
What about Desai or Dalal?
>>45734837
I'm digging Dalal. Rhymes with halal.
Which is wrong both thematically and in context.
Also some things to consider.
They probably aren't all too jazzed about falling to Chaos, but they're probably too far in the hole and feathered to go back.
So if they do fuck around with Daemons they would probably seek to control them or use them as little more than weapons.
They don't have to be super edgy. The way I see it is they can be like Lamenters, but they actually fucked up and the Imperium wasted no time fucking them up. Perhaps Dalal can be a haven for them, hosted by Slaaneshi bros.
They probably are still loyal to the BAngels to some degree. The sons of Sanguinius tend to keep shit tight. Although fuck the police.
They probably have subbed their own iconography for that of the Dalal warband and changed their name out of shame and out of respect to their hosts.
What I'm trying to get at here is that we can do the right thing and make them tragic villians with vedic imagery instead of edgy traitors
>>45734995
>They probably aren't all too jazzed about falling to Chaos, but they're probably too far in the hole and feathered to go back
But they are fanatically devoted
>>45734995
Change that to wanting to be loyal to the Blood Angels. I'm sure the actual chapter wants nothing to do with them.
But do they still celebrate Sanguinala?
>>45735039
And yeah, they're fanatically devoted, but it's a deep conflicted devotion. Many go insane rather than turn coat or something.
>>45735039
It's more like they have no other option. It's either full Hersey or die. Plus, they get all the daemon benefits
>>45735039
Forgot about that.
Shit. No biggie, if we fluff it as more of a move of desperation and chapter wide ennui then we can avoid edgeworld.
I think these guys as tragically villainous Lamenters is a pretty cool idea. Plus peacock angel and deva iconography.
>>45734995
Like it got rolled, they are fanatical, 10 was rolled even, they are in DEEP, id like to think its the fact that they got lost in their purpose, and after seeking relief from the uncetrainty Slaanesh took them in with open arms, and they hold onto anything that would accept them.
Devotion 10 makes them more likely to party with slaanesh and tzeentch deamons too.
>>45735050
Their progenitors did them no wrong, so for the respect of their Primarch (even in chaos) they still honor their fallen primarch, even horus respected Sanguinius enough to offer him a last chance to turn to chaos before slaying him
>>45735059
Das is, mane
>>45735101
I think they would be more Tzeentchian. What with the feathers and stuff. Maybe even wings.
Their hosts can be Slaaneshi. A desert world filled with domed industrial complexes? Like Pakistan and India but no rules.
>>45735128
The chaos takeover would leave many factories empty to be turned into shrines and pleassure rooms for both gods respectively, others could be occupied by the dark mechanicum, supplying Abbadon with deamonic machinery, making sure he stays in good relations with the massive warband
>>45735154
I think the Angels Apostate work best if there's a unified theme (Hindu) but a clear distinction between the Tzeentchian warband and the Slaaneshi dudes.
I think Dalal could be the homeworld of a warband of Slaaneshi traitor Dark Angelsso just regular DAand they took in whatever the BA Successors where after the Imperium destroyed their homeworld after they went a little too balls deep in trying to fight chaos with chaos via sorcery and collecting Daemon blades.
>>45735209
The roll said that they merged together, so the difference would not be so drastic, pehaps only a difference in coloring, the Slaaneshi having purple as their main, and the Tzeentchian dark blue
>>45735241
The merged together as a warband, but just like there's clear cut differences between companies in a Chapter, there's going to be a difference between these guys. Especially since the Blood Angels have feathery skin.
But Slaaneshi Dark Angels+Tzeentchian Blood Angels?
Dalal is their world, the Blood Angels praise Tzeentch, the Dark Angels are gay as per usual, and the Dark Mechanicus pumps out sweet tech for No-arms McGee?
With heavy Hindu overtones?
>>45735306
Both Progeitors where Angels, name is Angels Apostate, the motivations fit, and Hindu overtones are original, color scheme is set
i'd say it works
>>45735341
Colour scheme could use some work IMO.
I'm heading to sleep. Hopefully this is still up. I really want to see these guys as flushed out as the Exterminators.
>>45735357
If it locks down, we can allways start another one,
and yes, on second though the color scheme needs some work
>>45735380
We could always roll for color scheme
>>45735380
I'll see if I can do something. We need two, for the Tzeentch Blood Angels (We need a name for them) side of the house and the Slaanesh Dark Angels (they can just be Forsaken)
Something less pastel and a little more...rich and Indian. Like a tanka print
>>45735357
Arbites, here's the thing, we fleshed out exterminators a fuck ton, 10+ threads. But nobody added anything to the wiki, so now we have to go back through it all, and it's really killing the vibes I feel. Because no one wrote shit down, some solid ideas are going to be lost
>>45735393
Let's not.
Unless we have to.
>>45735417
We allready have a mock up from earlier in the thread --> >>45724845
>>45735417
So, Slaanesh Dark Angels would be Forsaken,
the Tzeentch Blood Angels is still to be named
and together they form the Angels Apostate,
hm, well im suggesting Aqua Angels, to contrast the Blood Angels name, and Aqua is kinda Tzeentchian color
>>45735417
Gotta go to school, il be back in some hours, i hope this thread holds up
>>45735481
Azure Angels?
>>45735499
That blue and orange looks sexy
It kind of makes sense. "Horus, is that you?" They are the descendents of the BA, no? Tzeentch could have twisted the Black Company members' minds so they think they are Horus instead of Sanguinius or something?
>>45738727
More likely they see Horus instead of Abbadon.
>>45738787
>>45738727
Maybe it's not so much that they are delusional, but as the black rage has Marines relive Sanguinius' last moments, the Chaos corruption has them living in the past as former legionaires or even in the future as Marines that don't exist yet.
>>45738905
Or maybe its just the other way around, they are not reliving the last moments of Sanguinius, but rather Horus just before he slays the emperor, making them tireless laughing butchers
>>45738400
Blue and shiny orange could fit the Blood Angels half of the warband
>>45739173
Then blue and pink for DAngels? Pink and sliver?
>>45739069
What? Why would that even work? How?
>>45739306
Pink + Silver, and Blue + Shiny orange, sound good?
And regarding the horus bit, the ruinous powers where within him all the way trough the siege of terra, so they would know how he felt, and since the black rage is a mental reaction, they just swap out the emotions of Sanguinius with the emotions of Horus
>>45739361
The colour scheme is good.
The Horus thing seems like an unnecessary element, especially since they still feel a certain loyalty the Blood Angels. Having their minds drift through time is a good way to have them be delusional and fits with fucky Hindu themes
>>45739420
True, the horus thing is an un-needed complication, they could have visions of the marines who carried the same geneseed before them
>>45739615
What about after them?
They could subvert the whole JUST AS PLANNED and the whole rape thing to be more philosophical.
Maybe the Tzeentch side of the house is no reason about dicking around with time, selling out to the Ruse Master in an attempt to undick themselves and maybe the whole Geneseed. The Slaaneshi side of things could focus more on the whole perfection thing. Less about fucking bitches, even though they could do some crazy shit, and more being the best at everything they do.
They might be psycho heretics but they probably don't see themselves as beyond Redemption. Just in their eyes the Ruinous Powers are the best route to do so, since the Imperium is a shitheap.
>>45740944
So they got a kind of internal struggle, as the warp makes them delusional and hallucinating, as they use and worship it to reedeem themselves in their own eyes
>>45741883
The Forsaken are probably guiding them to a path of greater heresy, concerned with fighting the Imperium at large and their two faced brothers.
>>45743208
And suceeding at it too, since the faith roll was 10, highest
>>45743301
So about their homeworld. Designated heresy streets?
>>45743674
I was waiting for this joke to be made, it was inevitable
>>45743674
On Dalal every street is designated heresy street.
So how mustache twirlingly evil are these fuckers?
>>45744587
Roll for it nigga (d10)
1- im on the wrong side
10 - picking baby pieces out of my teeth is annoying
>>45744642
I don't know man. Leaving a major facet of their personality up to chance when we can just as easily make them out to be sympathetic heretics
>>45745488
Just because they love their gods doesn't mean they have to be full retard evil
>>45745521
Does it though?
Anyways, how scaled up are the Hindu aesthetics? Just looks? Or is it Space Yiffs tier?
How's this for a scheme?
