Let's roll up an Imperial Guard Regiment.
First let's roll D10 for Regiment Classification
>>47274561
Put it in options instead of name
>>47274561
attempt number two before i just wallow in a corner forever
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>47274528
Rolled
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>47274585
confirmed what i'm doing for the rest of eternity
it's been fun
Rolled 5 (1d10)
Rolling for the Emperor
>>47274600
Imperial Guard
>>47274605
>>47274609
Let's make them an IG regiment selected out of the PDF?
Now we need to roll d100 to determine their demographics
Rolled 64 (1d100)
>>47274655
I like it. Dubs make it better.
>>47274662
First Born
I like the idea of first born children being conscripted into the PDF, and then they do a selection process for the IG regiment the planet produces. Thoughts?
>>47274705
Well we can find out because the next roll is a 1D10 to determine the nature of their recruitment
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>47274705
Sounds good man
>>47274723
Rolling
>>47274731
Elite Tithe
Nice roll this still makes sense
Now it's a d100 roll for regimental homeworld
Rolled 12 (1d100)
>>47274803
>>47274803
rolled
>>47274821
So so far we are Hivers, and the firstborn child of citizens are tested, and the best are selected for the PDF, and the best of the PDF are chosen as Guardsmen.
>>47274862
Sounds good.
Next roll is for the homeworld predominant terrain (excluding the hive cities)
Rolled 55 (1d100)
>>47274905
On it
>>47274905
d100 roll sorry
>>47274905
>>47274917
Ice worlders. Maybe the Hives sit over geothermal vents that provide heat and power?
>>47274941
>>47274917
I really like this. It gives them motivation to join the guard in order to leave the planet and (as far as they believe) travel the stars
D100 for the regiments core units
Rolled 78 (1d100)
>>47274980
>>47274991
Armoured. Leman Russes for the win
1d10 for their specialisation. This might almost determine what kind of tanks they roll around in
Rolled 8 (1d10)
>>47275015
dice for the dice gods, then!
Rolled 7 (1d10)
>>47275015
Rolling for trenches
>>47275028
>>47275042
Ranged bombardment followed by shock and awe as we charge in our Lemon Rushes? I like it!
>>47275042
>>47275028
Ranged & Shock and awe
>>47275118
Sounds awesome
Next roll is a 1d10 for their loyalty rating
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>47275155
All hail the Emperor and Russ his prophet
>>47275170
woops
>>47275170
WE DUN FUCKED UP
>>47275186
I'd say it was nice knowing you boys, but then again, I'm not a liar.
So, are we gonna be Chaos worshippers now? Or "Our Govemer got angry about the tithe and flipped off the Administration"?
>>47275222
Not all roads lead to chaos, friend
>>47275257
Govener or Commander told the Administratum to suck his fat one then. We raid for parts and food and shit?
>>47275292
Or we just went rogue with our fleet and started raiding on our own. Anyway, OP hasn't posted in a while. 1d100 for special equipment.
>>47275292
so much for being a ig regiment, Say goodbye to our world from the inevitable moment when our planetary governor flips off an inquistor and gets us exterminatused.
>>47275170
>Heretical
uh oh
Next roll is a d100. We have rolls to find out our relations with other imperial institutions that will let us find out why we are heretical
Rolled 14 (1d100)
>>47275349
C'mon something that makes sense!
Rolled 25 (1d100)
>>47275318
>>47275334
>>47275349
Here we go!
>>47275367
Rouge chapter we were buddies with?
>>47275391
Arsehole chapter who tried to kill us after a fight?
>>47275391
fallen angels? we help cypher do shit?
>>47275391
and because of that , the dark angels consider us quite heretical.
>>47275403
Grey Knights fucked us up after a Daemon incursion on a world we were fighting on?
>>47275406
>>47275415
Or this, but I think shock and awe lemon rushes are a tad less subtle than the fallen angels.
>>47275406
He did say rouge. Clearly its a red chapter. Maybe we did go full chaos and roll with the red corsairs?
>>47275429
>Or this, but I think shock and awe lemon rushes are a tad less subtle than the fallen angels.
Obviously you aren't channeling the spirit of Oinkbane enough, if you don't think our armour can be subtle.
>>47275457
>red corsairs
>boarding actions and piracy
we have an armoured regiment filled with tanks for shock and awe.... i think boarding isn't the best use for a lehman.
>>47275492
Not unless we strap them to escorts and use them to fire all the boarding torpedoes.
If we gonna be heretical might as well throw in some tech heresy.
>>47275486
Holy kek my sides went into orbit
>>47275545
Careful, we have Leman Russ Pattern escort craft up there.
>>47275486
sneaky sneaky gets it done
>>47275367
>>47275373
That was a roll for special equipment and you rolled War Trophies (perhaps part of why we are heretical) and special lasguns (I reckon something small because we are tankies
Next roll is a d100 to determine regimental creed. This could show why we are heretical
I have to go now but if someone else could take over that would be awesome: https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Imperial_Guard_Regiment_Creation_Tables
Rolled 49 (1d100)
>>47275676
sneaky sneaky
>>47275595
>>47275676
>>47275706
Ok, time to recap.
We hail from an Ice World, whose Hives sit above geothermal vents for heat and power. We are Firstborn who were chosen as the best of the PDF, and we are trained to bombard the enemy from afar before charging in to smash the weakened defenses. We were known to take trophies from defeated foes, and used some sort of weapon unique or symbolic of our people. Our Govener unknowingly or not helped the Fallen Angels, and the Dark Angels hate us. We were forced to join up with the Red Corsairs or similar Chaos Warband, and we use our tanks as extra firepower for escort ships.
And we rolled For the Emperor. Fuck.
>>47275706
>For the Emperor: Fervent belief in the Imperial cult and the righteous mission of the Imperium fuels this regiment.
Maybe we reroll this one.
>>47275715
we are the most bi-polar regiment in the entire imperium
>>47275706
>>47275715
>>47275727
>>47275735
Perhaps we think that everyone else is the heretic and that we are the only loyalists?
From memory that's what the defenders of Vraks believed
>>47275727
>>47275735
Nah we keep it. Our Govener fucked up, and we need to raid and shit for supplies but we still believe Emps will deliver us
D100 for Regimental Friends
>>47275735
I think I saw someone talk about their Death Korps/Elysian combined regiment once. That would be worse.
Captcha pls
Rolled 53 (1d100)
>>47275772
>>47275787
Or maybe our belief is heretical? Perhaps we follow something closer to the Imperial Truth rather than the Imperial Creed, and that rustled the Adeptus Ministorum's jimmies?
>>47275805
WE GOT TITANS BOIS!
>>47275805
We got buddies in the titanicus. Maybe we just follow the machine cult rather than the big E? It would make sense with the armoured feel we have.
>>47275756
so we work with the fallen angels to somehow protect and honor the emperor, but that puts us at odds with the majority of the imperium.
we have grown so accustomed to the hatred imposed upon us by the majority of the imperium that we believe that they're the ones that are heretical while we're the ones following the imperial creed.
>>47275832
>>47275830
The Fallen taught the Govener and our people of the Imperial Truth, and our faith in the Emperor, rather than faith in a God, is the Faith that the Imperium He envisioned can come to fruition
>>47275805
We have a close relationship with the Adeptus Titanicus. Roll 1D100 for regimental enemies.
Rolled 57 (1d100)
>>47275832
might as well roll for enemies as well.
>>47275869
and we have friends in the Adeptus Titanicus that also believe in the imperial truth and secretly works with us to fulfill the emperor's true vision
>>47275805
>>47275832
I like this. Heretics aren't necessarily Chaos aligned.
>>47275886
Chaos Space Marines
>>47275899
And, as it turns out, we are enemies with the traitor legions. Nice.
>>47275886
Our enemies are a group of Chaos space marines. Perhaps we resent the Fallen ever so slightly for screwing us over?
There isn't anything left to roll so now lets get the small details down.
>>47275886
>>47275899
>>47275907
>>47275909
>>47275915
And with our mighty steel we fight the Chaos Space Marines, laughing at how they worship the so called Gods of Chaos and reject their genefather
>>47275915
we like the fallen because they taught us the imperial truth, we have a secret chorus of insurgents in the adeptus titanucus that are loyal to the imperial truth and works with us to carve a territory in the galaxy and shape it into a star system that the emperor would be proud of.
Okay so our regiment:
>Hails from a hiveworld built upon a giant, icy wasteland
>On this planet the firstborn son of every family is conscripted into the PDF
>During conscription, the troopers may volunteer to do a rigorous selection process to get into the IG in order to leave their freezing cold shithole
>The Regiment they go into is an armoured regiment that specialises in long range shock and awe combat
>The regiment (as well as the planet?) is considered heretical by the majority of the Imperium
>We have a special relationship with the fallen
>We hate a group of chaos space marines (perhaps the fallen that explicitly turned to Chaos instead of just being fallen?
>We are friends with the Adeptus Titanicus, which suits us because we provide the long range shooting of smaller targets in our tanks while the titans deal with the big shit
And our exact belief system is..... complicated
>>47275915
To recap everything:
We come from an icy Hive world, recruiting our forces from the elite ranks of the PDF, who recruit the firstborn of every family on the planet. We have an armoured core, with doctrines of ranged bombardment followed by shock and awe. We take war trophies and have some sort of special lasguns. We are allied with some in the Adeptus Titanicus and consider a group of chaos space marines to be our mortal enemies.
We are heretics, having turned our backs on the Emperor.
We are influenced by the Fallen and believe the original imperial truth. However, we seem to be lacking any kind of naval transport, have managed to maintain allies in the Titanicus despite our heretical nature and simultaneously hate chaos.
That about sums it up.
>>47276048
>>47276039
Let's get into designing our homeworld
>Obviously it was brought into compliance by the Dark Angels and a small garrison was left there during the heresy. Although this garrison has long since departed, (and some other Dark Angels painted in green called in one day asking where they went) there is a rumour that they remain in contact with the military commanders of the planet
>It used to be prosperous, hence why people started moving there in the DAoT, but then the sun started dying, making the temperature of the planet drop into negatives as well as being very dark.
>The population created hive cities above the massive thermal vents as it was the only way to keep warm. This has created a unique structure of the hive cities, as the rich and affluent now live in massive secure facilities at the base of the city and close to the vents. The poor build makeshift structures on top of the facilities, and compete with each other for the heat that escapes the facilities in which the rich live. During the winter scores of the poor die from the cold.
>Joining the guard is seen as the only way of leaving the planet.
>The only way to travel between the hive cities is in tracked vehicles, which is what gives the planet it's penchant for armoured warfare.
Thoughts?
>>47276256
I like it. Also
>The icy plains force any skirmishes between Hives to be at long range, hence the penchent for long range shock and awe combat
>>47276256
I like the idea of upside down hive cities
Creature creation time: Roll a D10 for food habits
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>47276333
Anyone up for running an Only War game with this regiment?
>>47276322
Infantry can't dismount for shit since they'll just freeze and the snow is too deep to walk through
>>47276256
>each hive city is ruled by a principia, and his/her governmental cabinet. called a principial conventa. and they all elect a planetary governor from one of the principias to take command of the PDF and to manage the tithe . the world creates an unsual amount of super magnets which shelf life last as long as 5 decades.
>>47276256
the principia comes from a ruling noble family, but his principia conventa are voted in (how long does the siting principia conventa members varies from city to city)
>>47276048
guys, what's the name of this world? and what's the name of our regiment?
Wait, how did the Dark Angels get wrapped up in this?
>>47276039
Maybe they just don't believe in the Imperial Church?
Conquered during the Great Crusade, but contact was lost for a long while after the Horus Heresy. Couple millenia later, the Imperium shows up and says you gotta take part again. Planet agrees, but the first time a commissar shows up and hands them the uplifting primer, they start spouting off the Imperial Truth and claim the Emperor isn't a god.
>>47276514
I like this. Juntas always make for good settings.
Awesome artwork btw that's how I envision the planet
What is the IG Selection like? Is it a test of their toughness like SAS selection/BUDs or is it more of an aptitude test?
>As war trophies, the regiments of this planet scavenge notable body parts and pieces from enemies they destroy in combat and mount them on their tanks. Examples of this includes the heads of Ork Nobs and Tyranids attached to their tanks as well as slabs of wraithbone. This has drawn disgusted looks from commisars more than once.
>>47276646
And are we Space Slavs/Finns/Nordics/Canadians or something else?
>>47276666
>Wait, how did the Dark Angels get wrapped up in this?
Someone suggested it and everyone thought it was a good idea. I think it's neato too but being someone's sidekick shouldn't be the central theme of the regiment
>>47276676
the uniforms of the finns are quite practical.
>>47276746
we should remove the fallen angels?
just make it that it was the dark angels that carried out the purging.
But unanimously, all of the principias, and most of the populance still believes in the imperial truth, but now practice it quietly.
>>47276819
I like this.
Occasionally a loud mouthed private get's blammed by the commisar for talking back to the Ministorum priests
>>47276676
name of the planet? Scelerisque
name of the imperial guard regiment? Lerisque Mechanized Yeomanry
Thoughts?
>>47277113
Yeah It's alright. I wouldn't mind if they are french.
As a joke we should make their regimental banner white (from the frost, of course)
>>47277144
>PDF moves around the scelerisque with specialized sentinels.
there are some titans still operational in the snowy fields of the world attracting pilgrimages from the adeptus titanicus.
>>47276454
I might pitch the idea to my party.
>Hiveworld
>Phlegmatic commander (might actually roll for the commander's type, this is just my prefered choice)
>Armoured regiment
>Potentially anti-armour doctrine
And then either the mistrusted or traitors drawback depending on how strongly they believe in the imperial truth.
Thoughts?
>>47278675
If you are going to go with anti-armour doctrine you better have a Baneblade and the BBEG
Does Only War have rules for fighting hordes?
>>47278742
*as the BBEG
I don't know why I wrote 'and'.
>>47278742
I'l add a ministorum priest as an NPC to the campaign.
To recap the beliefs and Dark Angels from earlier:
>Planet was loyal Imperial World
>Regiment specialized in fighting Chaos Space Marines
>Fallen Angels come and teach the Govener and ruling families the Imperial Truth
>Planet believes in Imperial Truth now
>The Dark Angels hate us
>Our friends the Titan Legions help us squish evil while we take out infantry and armor that are too small to bother the Titans.
We crusade against Chaos and are trying to spread the Imperial Truth again, while taking down Traitos Marines laughing at their gods. And we are buds with Titans.
>>47280374
>The Dark Angels hate us
I'd prefer that the Dark Angels don't know, or that we don't know the Dark Angels know.
Anyone who gets between the Dark Angels and the fallen gets fucking destroyed.
>>47280424
Who said we couldn't be a doomed regiment? It's only a matter of time before the TOTALLY LOYAL FIRST LEGION discovers us and how the Fallen enlightened us.
Until then we kick Chaos ass and laugh about the notion of God's while riding our Lemon Rushes through the snow and/or strapping them to escorts for extra firepower.

Our most respected and oldest tanks should have extra armor points due to all the trophies attached to the hull.

Sorry, don't know why it did this.

Civilian uniform includes fedora too.In combat we secretly pray to the Emperor for safety. We're the most bipolar regiment.

>Imperial Guard Grooming kit is no longer standard issue
>Imperial Guard Infantry Uplifting primer is written bySpace Richard Dawkins
"You see, the concept of the emperor being a god is quite childish really", Cpl Lecrec told his Scelerisquan crew over the intercom of his Leman Russ Battle Tank. He saw his crew nodding in agreement
>Suddenly the unmissable sound of a krak missile filled the air. Cpl Lecrec managed to look down the sights just in time to see the missile smash into the heavy front armour of the tank, making a loud sound inside the crew compartment and little more. Lecrec hit his head against the side of his tank as he jumped back in surprise, fortunately he was wearing his Flak Fedora.
>"Traverse turret to 150 mils, load HE, fire for effect." Lecrec said, remembering his crew commander drills from his promotion course. The loud bang of the battle cannon shocked caused the crew's ears to ring, unfortunately high quality hearing protection could not fit around their flak fedoras.
>Almost as soon as the road landed and turned the team that fired the missile into red mist, dozens of men jumped out from the long grass immediately in front of the tank and began sprinting at the vehicle. They were all carrying something, and although Lecrec couldn't make out what they had, he had to assume that it could destroy his tank
>"Driver, sponson gunners, at your targets in front, GO ON," Lecrec ordered over the intercom.
>The heavy bolters fired off, but all the rounds were wildly inaccurate and none of them hit the massive human wave infront of them
>"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH SHOOT THEM THEY ARE ABOUT TO KILL US!" screamed Lecrec
>"you fired ordanance so we have to snapshot corporal!" yelled back one of the sponson gunners
>"dammit. Driver reverse at full speed we can't let these guys catch us!" Lecrec yelled, just as he saw the closest cultist aim a meltagun at the front armour of the tank. "Emperor protect us, muttered Lecrec, as the melta shot penetrated the Tank, but only destroyed the heavy stubber upgrade that Lecrec's commander had personally ordered for them
>>47280639

Ok, just for shit and giggles I tried to create an IG regiment... It actually came out looking like the Star Wars clone army in many aspects.
>2 It's a true IG regiment
>69 They are vat grown
>9 Standard conscription
That'd mean "everyone" since they are vat grown
>4 Hive World
>65 Oceanic
>34 Infantry Regiment
>2 specialised in counter
>2 Fanatical
>79 Special vehicle as special equipment
>33 The regiment creed is "For the Homeworld"
>63 They are friends with another IG regiment
>28 They are enemies with Orks
If "Men of Iron" were the enemies, it would have been the perfect reference.
Oceanic hive world with vat-grow facilities Kamino anyone?
I, again, must assure you, that ALL OF THIS ROLLS WERE RANDOMIZED!
I can't even believe that myself!It must be a CIS conspiracy!
Rolled a 6
Shall we roll up our chaos enemies?
If so, then do you want to have chaos marines or any other type of chaos force? Because we can always roll a d3 for what type of enemy it is; 1: chaos marines, 2: regular chaos renegades, 3: chaotic cult
