Jungle tau look badass, lets make a badass Sept for the greater good, roll up gue'la.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
So are we using the table on 1d4chan?
You mean like the Sept V'iet?
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Sept_V%27iet
no the creation tables.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tau_Cadre_Creation_Tables
>>45781439
What are all those auxiliary options and where can I get info on them?
you can google them I guess, shall we get on with the generation.
>>45781410
No, Sept V'iet is explicitly based on the Vietnamese North in Vietnam, I wasn't wanting something based on that
Rolled 3 (1d10)

Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>45781618
>Second Sphere Expansion
Rolled 8 (1d10)
>>45781651
>Desert world
I can dig that.
Instead of green, what if it was like a different colored forest?
>>45781758
Wanna roll for color?
www.coolors.com/app
>>45781785
*coolors.co/app
>>45781785
Maybe we should finish rolling it, before we pick a color scheme.
>>45781823
Yeah, but it looks like he's rolling by himself without posting what to roll for next
>>45781850
Well then let's us continue without him, I rolled that we use traps and stuf like that. Do you wanna take the next one?
>>45781918
I was supposed to roll. Id rather you guys pick. Just dont want it dark green.
>>45781918
What're we on? Gotta keep it updated on what we're rolling for in the thread, otherwise it's no fun
>>45781732
Patient Hunter, cool, we wait we hunt we kill, Now roll for tactics
>>45781978
"Which tactic does the cadre prefer" it's a d100
>>45781940
You seem a bit new to rolling up thing on /tg/, the OP usually keeps track of what's going, while posters roll on the tables.
also namefaggin' to keep track of this.
Rolled 72 (1d100)
>>45782050
>>45782076
Hybrid tactics - we have a few vehicles and a few soldiers
now it's what we are supposed to do, a d10 if you wouldn't mind.
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>45782115
We once made a sept a while back that was based around bonsai trees. Anyone want me to repost the information I saved?
>>45782136
Adaptive/Changes - we do what the commander does and when he dies we do what the new guy does.
Now how much do we care for the greater good, another d10 please.
>>45782176
dice+1d10
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>45782176
>>45782199
we as most are about it not crazy not questioning
now how many non Tau we got, roll me a d10.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>45782230
>>45782245
A normal amount of aliens
now what are they d20 goes here.
Rolled 6 (1d20)
>>45782260
>>45782278
Vespids - flying (and possibly mind controlled bugs)
now who is our preferred enemy? (1d100)
>>45782316
So I'm seeing it as Vespids are the bait, and the Tau are waiting in suits and shit to ambush, like the kroot warsphere thing in the Damocles Crusade.
Rolled 32 (1d100)
>>45782316
>>45782349
we done pissed a specific chapter of loyalist space marines.
now who is our current leader? 1d10
>>45782349
>Space Marines
Rats. Really wanted crons or nids. But then again more glory when vsing the marines.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>45782386
Rolled 8 (1d10)
>>45782386
>>45782422
>>45782437
Use the 8 not my shitty 5
>>45782422
a Shas'el (or fire caste noble if you prefer that.)
how does he act? 1d10 it's the last roll!
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>45782471
Firecast noble! Firecast noble!
>>45782459
I did not see that 8 if anyone wants to change it speak now, or forever shut yer trap.
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>45782471
I'd roll for different coloured deserts, but I assume Tau battle tactics and strategy to be flexible enough not to give a shit.
>>45782490
and in any case he is nice
Rolled 7 (1d10)
>>45782490
Change my man! We've been getting shitty rolls
>>45782487
in any case he is nice.
also I'm being slowed.
>>45782490
I kinda like the idea of a Shas'El leading the Sept. Talent + experience beating rank here would be interesting.
Wanna roll for color scheme now?
Someone throw me a 1d10
it appears that it will continue brain a Shas'el.
>>45782563
*being not brain, I fricking hell autocorrect.
Second sphere expansion
Desert world
Kauyon
Hybrid units
Based on leader's whims
Normal adherence to the greater good
Normal amount of auxiliaries-mostly vespid
Pissed off a specific flavor of space marine
Our commander is a friendly shas'el
in any case I'm gonna go to bed now, and let you guys figure it out. Will check tomorrow to see if it's stil up.
>>45782582
Our Sept seems really really average.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>45782550
Sure
>>45782634
Then let's make them cool! They're adaptive, so maybe they're hardcore outdoorsmen, burying themselves in sand for an ambush, living off the land so supplies won't run thin, using homemade traps to slowly widdle away forces, adorning their armor with leathers and skins and skulls and feathers, carrying giant ass knives
Dunno if this is a good idea but wouldn't it be neat if thier planet is just a large moon around a gas giant?
>>45782723
so we're more tribal, we fight with the Vespids, taking a bit from their culture. We're kinda native american-y
>>45782716
Id upload the picture, but I'm mobile.
https://coolors.co/app/efc69b-af1b3f-473144-ccb69b-df9b6d
I randomized 5 times and got this
>>45782775
Tribals cool. My vote is for east coast Indians. Iroquois meets Cherokee meets the Kurds
>>45782776
These are our colors, I dig them, very tribal feeling
I'll draw up some shit, if not today I can start tommorow, just let me know the name of this sept.
got any writefags on here for background?
>>45782861
Ai'Cea
>>45782861
H'audeno
>>45782871
Alrighty, Ill work on some scenery as well
>>45782871
Ai'Cea seems more like a name than a Sept. I kinda like the way Shas'El Ai'Cea of the H'audeno sounds
>>45782934
>>45782904
Alright, we're the Ai'Cea of the H'audeno, masters of suprise and guerilla warfare.
The vespid [name translation: The one who shreads flesh] sat upside down in a small cavern overlooking the dry plains of Lo'Jush'An.
He and a small group of other Vespids had waited here for a few days in order to take a gue'la convoy by suprise.Just wrote something quickly, someone can continue this
>>45782861
>>45782837
>>45782723
So, they're covered in leather-y, scale-y pelts, have necklaces made of bone, and probably have some tribal patterns on their armor. Also, they should have a bowieknife sized tanto
Okay, so these guys work along side the native vespids, are trapmasters and very adaptive. So do they function with normal guerilla tactics? What is their doctrine like?
What chapter did they piss off? How did they do it? Are they winning or losing against them?
What is their culture like? What is their army structure like? What are the terms they use for military positions?
>>45783174
>>45783174
Well, iroquois used to kidnap the children of tribes and settlements that they raided and raise them to be future members of the tribe. I feel that fits in pretty well with the whole cosmopolitain nature of the tau, while still being brutal. Also, the iroquois were a confenderation of a few tribes, so maybe the planet is divided by semi autonomous tribes that are under a loose federal government, where concils make planetary desicions?
Also, like the other anon said, they should be very naturalistic, living off the land, often away from reinforcements and civilization for extended periods of time. They're like a not roid rage version of the catachans, since they're not from a death world.
Maybe they should be nomadic? semi nomadic?
>>45783375
Put the lines from 3 on 1 and 2 and we got something going here
>>45783327
>Also, the iroquois were a confenderation of a few tribes, so maybe the planet is divided by semi autonomous tribes that are under a loose federal government, where concils make planetary desicions?
Maybe this could represent Tau, Gue'la, Kroot, Vespids, and something else. With a Tau and vespid majority.
>>45783504
Those 4 sound fine. Maybe it was a lost human colony with native vespids, and the tau came in with the kroot and made it their own. When the Imperium discovered this, they were pissed off and sent some guardsmen to get it back. The hatred can come from the guerilla fighting stule pissing off the human forces, so they sent in the big bad mahreens to finish the job
or something
What if we traded with local kroot and stuff.
>>45783174
>>45783504
>What chapter did they piss off?
I feel like Salamanders, due to them being all flamethrower-y might be a good enemy. Possibly pissed them off by convincing some of their men to join with our leader's good nature and charisma.
Or on the other hand, it could be Ultrasmurfs, due to them being something of a foil to our Sept being almost similar but still completely different tactics wise.
>>45783615
2b is bitching my man. It has my vote. Excellent stuff
>>45783616
>>45783504
>>45783586
Salamanders are cool, but I don't think they have an above average hatred for xenos. But, their flame-y wame-y stuff verus the guerilla style of these guys makes it sound like Andrew Jackson meets vietnam. Maybe there's some valuable reasources on the planet, so the imperium wants it purged and xenos removed?
Since these guys are all about traps, hitting hard and pulling out fast, and ambushes, I guess for vehicles they would use a lot of Piranhas and Tetras, right?
>>45783615
I really like kroot, so I'm all game in including them. Are humans too much?
>>45784124
I think humans would fit the whole Iroquois thing of tribes united together
>>45784144
So it's a confederation of tau, vespids, kroots and humans. How'd they all get their?
Really quick sketch. Will do a detailed kroot, vespid, ethereal, and commander tommorow
>>45784416
I was also thinking possibly using mostly breaches instead of strike teams, the MV15 could be able to be mounted on Devilfish for quick attacks.
>>45784416
I'll give drawing the tau fire warrior a shot too in a little bit
"Surprise attacks and ambushes were an important strategy of both small and large war parties during the historic period. Smaller enemy groups were attacked, giving the attacker an advantage in numbers. Warriors were primarily armed with bows, war clubs, and knives, and often wore wooden body armor. When attacking, the Iroquois typically used their range weapons (bows) first, then closed in to engage in hand-to-hand fighting. As many as possible of the enemy were killed or taken prisoner until one group fled the field or surrendered." I feel like this represents a good basis for our Sept, and it should hopefully give some good inspiration
>>45784678
Yeah, that seems like its pretty much how we run things. Although I like what the anon earlier said about burying themselves for ambushes. I'm guessing the chain of command for these guys is pretty loose. They can work how they want, as long as they work together and get resaults
So these guys are like the Tau's response to Catachans? Except, native America?
>>45785450
A lot less Rambo and a little more Navajo
>>45785450
>>45785481
We live on a desert world, right? There's a lot of talk about iriqious, and that's cool, I feel like they're underused. But, shouldn't we try to inject some south western tribes into this?
Also, can the desert world be a cool color
>>45785564
Does that mean we can do something with turquoise?
>>45785564
>>45785627
>>45782837
If you're interesting in testing a scheme try this tool http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/fwpbeta.php
>>45785627
>ya
I meant culture wise. Like, wasn't there a group of Indians that carved cities out of cliff faces? That would be cool for how Tua/kroot settlements might work on this planet
Please let it be a turqoise desert!
>>45785704
Shucks, that's a lot of things to color
>>45785704
Anyone gonna try this?
>>45786638
I'm working on it
>>45786745
Goodman
>>45786926
Alright this is what I got for a Native American inspired color scheme, tried not to make it overly complex and I appreciate any criticism
>>45787023
Maybe make the the symbol on his shoulder turquoise too and make the gun brown, just curious to how it would look
>>45782837
Looks like pretty standard 3rd ed colours there, m8.
Taste the Rainbow, 笨蛋!
笨蛋
>>45787023
I would change out the green for that bitchin purple from what was rolled up
>>45787386
yesssss
>>45787492
Sooooo what you're saying here is that I shouldn't have already closed the tab for it
>>45787636
There's a chance, but I wouldn't sweat it
>>45787636
You did good guy
What is the leader's name? What's his story?
>>45782993
>>45788800
Our leader's name is Ai'Cea
>>45789322
He's friendly. What else?
>>45789383
Someone ITT mentioned him being magnanimous and convincing humans to join the tau. Maybe he's a cult of personality you organized the whole confederacy or something
>>45789794
I'm saying he's basically space Teddy. Manly as fuck, charasmatic, and accomplishes whatever he sets out for. Without him, the cadre would basically be nothing
Seems like I'm late to the party, but there's no homebrew tg space weeaboos that I know about, so fuck it!
Are these guys more survivalist with Iroquois elements, or Iroquois with survivalist elements
Personally I like survivalist first, injun second
>>45791220
Eh, can't they be equal? They're both really good ideas.
If I HAVE to choose, I guess I'm with you on the survivalist thing
>>45791220
Injuns, man. Damn blue skins!
