Want to roll up a Spess Mehreen chapter, /tg/?
Or are you guys sick of it?
>>47601520
Do it faggot.
Yes we are sick of it. Do Elder or Tau, we have not gotten anything fresh and new on those fronts in years. I would do it myself but it is past midnight where I am, so we would never get anything done under me.
/opinion piece
>>47602049
Roll a d10, then.
>>47602074
Well, maybe next time I try to make one of these threads I'll make it a Xeno creation thread or something.
I still expect to be ignored, but eh.
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>47602181
>>47602236
>10: Crusade - "We need people running around and hitting the Imperium's enemies. Found a Chapter!"
Congrats, your chapter was founded for a Crusade. Now roll a d100 and tell me when it was founded.
Rolled 78 (1d100)
>>47602293
I might fall asleep during this
>>47602369
>78: 40th Millenium
You were formed in the second-to-last (known) founding, with such esteemed peers as the Fire Angels or the Angels of Vigilance.
Never heard of them? Yeah, this isn't spelling great things for your chapter... now give me anther d100 to tell me who your Progenitor was.
>I might fall asleep during this
That's fine, man. I didn't expect this to go very well, seeing as how /tg/'s pretty sick of the Spess Mehreens
Rolled 1 (1d100)
>>47602446
Let's do this. Last time I started one of these threads I ended up makingThe Sanguine Shields.
Rolled 63 (1d100)
>>47602446
I'm certainly not sick of them, but I've always had this idea of rather than creating new chapters, we would fluff out the ones that only have a sentence or two of writting on them
I'm still more than down for making a new one though
>>47602473
>The Sanguine Shields.
I was gonna try and finish the wiki page soon
>>47602476
Use this roll, No Ultramarines allowed!
>I'm certainly not sick of them, but I've always had this idea of rather than creating new chapters, we would fluff out the ones that only have a sentence or two of writting on them.
Man, I agree with you. Some of the cool chapter color schemes/names have literally 0 fluff.
>>47602488
Good on you mate!
>>47602476
>>47602473
So we're either a Blood Angels successor or an Ultramarines successor...
>>47602503
Blood Angels it is then.
Give me a d10 for purity.
Rolled 7 (1d10)
>>47602548
>>47602559
I'll give a few more minutes for someone else to roll if they want, but if not we've got:
>7: Altered Stock - Gene-seed is altered and some implants are deficient - roll on Gene-Seed Deficiencies table
>>47602548
Blood Angles? Again?
It's like the last three threads about making a Chapted were all BA descended, except one where the OP disappeared which was an IH chapter.
Eh, I'll stick around anyways.
>>47602589
We can be Ultrasmurfs if you want. We haven't gotten far enough for it to really affect anything if we change our mind yet.
>>47602616
>>47602589
If rather we roll again. Just go with whatever's next if we land on smurfs or BAs
>>47602629
I, personally, don't mind. Does anybody else participating in this (assumiing they're still around) care?
Rolled 96 (1d100)
>>47602616
True enough.
>>47602629
We can roll again as well. See of we get something different.
>>47602671
>96: Iron Hands
So we can either be
>1) Ultrasmurf successors
>2) Blood Angel successors
or
>3) Iron Hand successors.
People can either vote on this, or roll a 1d3 to decide. Your choice, guys.
>>47602714
Iron Hands
>>47602714
Iron Hands, anon! Iron Hands!
Please be melee oriented!
>>47602732
>>47602742
Iron Hands it is.
Now, does anybody want to roll again for Purity, or are we good with >>47602584 >>47602559 ?
>>47602759
I'm cool with that, let's continue on now.
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>47602759
I'm more than down for deficiencies, man
Here's a 1d10 for them
>>47602777
>2: Oversensitive Occulobe - "I'm in the dark and I can see perfectly! How usefuAAAAH THE SUN'S COMING UP HOLY EMPEROR MY EYES"
Boy, I bet Bionic Eyes are going to be common in your chapter, huh?
Now that we have our mutation, give me another d10 for Chapter Demeanor.
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>47602824
Rolled 8 (1d10)
>>47602824
RIP N' TEAR!
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>47602824
>>47602836
>2: Cleanse and Purify - Not destroy everything? *BLAM* No.
>>47602887
>8: Suffer Not the Work of Heretics - Heretics? *BLAM* No.
Considering that these aren't mutually exclusive, but are actually rather similar, we'll have both.
We're 20% likely to suffer mutations, by the way.
Now, how about a 1d100 for our Figure of Legend, huh?
>>47603014
Sorry, you rolled too late.
Also, sorry for taking so long. I was, apparently, spamming and got temp banned.
Rolled 39, 99 = 138 (2d100)
>>47603109
Rolling!
>>47603150
Woops, accidently did both.
Can we just keep them though? Looking at the chart, it seems pretty cool.
>>47603150
>39: Chapter Master
> 99: The hero led his Chapter in many glorious campaigns, slaying hundreds of the enemy’s greatest champions. In the end, he was brought down by treachery within the fold of the Imperium, slain by an assassin’s turbo-penetrator round on the field of battle. Just why he was targeted was never discovered, and the Chapter harbours a special hatred for the servants of the Officio Assassinorum to this day.
So our Chapter Master was a fucking badass who, for reasons we don't know, was assassinated?
Everybody else good with this?
>>47603218
Sounds good to me.
>>47603218
Aw yeah. I like that.
>>47603239
>>47603251
Good, because I wouldn't have changed it anyway.
Give me 2d100s for our Homeworld and it's Terrain.
Rolled 95, 76 = 171 (2d100)
>>47603218
I'm rolling for the homeworld!
Gimme something cool!
>>47603283
Well, if we go with this it's Fleet-based, so Terrain doesn't really matter... the terrain would have been Urban, however.
I guess we could try and meld that into a sheep/fleet with a bunch of civilian inhabitants on it that we recruit from...?
Somebody give me another roll and we'll see if we like what we get from that better.
Rolled 86, 19 = 105 (2d100)
>>47603326
Nah, no fleet based.
>>47603354
With this it would be an uninhabited jungle world... I we get recruits somewhere other than our own Homeworld...?
Anybody want to do another roll?
Rolled 57, 31 = 88 (2d100)
>>47603392
Fine. One last one.
>>47603432
>Feral Desert World.
I'm fine with this so long as no Mad Max references are made.
>>47603445
>>47603432
Okay, so we have a fleet of civilian-inhabited ships, an uninhabited jungle world or a feral desert world as our home.
I guess we're going Feral Desert World then?
Whatever our world is, how do we rule it? Give me a d10.
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>47603476
>>47603487
>2: Stewardship - "Hi, Planetary Governor? It's me, the Chapter Master. Just calling you to remind you that I outrank you, even if I don't do anything."
So, it's a Feral Desert planet that we just sort of... pop in every now and then to fuck with whenever we feel like it?
Whatever, 1d10 for organisation.
>>47603580
Apparently, you aren't.
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>47603665
Gimme something good!
>>47603692
>6: Divergent chapter.
So our organisation diverges from the Codex Astartes, how do we fight? Give me another d10.
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>47603772
>>47603778
>10: Terror
So apparently we took inspiration from the Night Lords.
Give me a 1d100 for our special equipment.
Rolled 82 (1d100)
>>47603825
RIP N' TERROR!
I think I've an idea for a color scheme.
>>47603839
>82: Preferred Fighting Style: The Chapter has a specific way in which it prefers to go about killing the enemy in the name of the God Emperor of Mankind. Examples: Bolt Pistol and Chainsword, dual Power Swords, special Bolter pattern or ammunition
Okay, so what is our special, terror-tactics related fighting style?
>>47603891
DUAL. CHAINAXES.
>>47603902
I'm not sure if there's more than one person hanging around right now. Whether there is or isn't, I'll let this part be up for further debate.
Moving on, what're our chapters beliefs? Give me a 1d100 to find out.
Rolled 56 (1d100)
>>47603948
Think it's just you and me bro.
Working on a color scheme, not turning out how I want it to, keep forgetting there are similar ones out there, back to the drawing board, etc.
>>47603968
>56: The Emperor Above All - "Screw your spiritual liege. The big E is where it's at."
Ah, so there's no Heresy among us. We hold the Emperor above all, as we should.
Give me a 1d10 for our Chapter Strength.
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>47604027
Give 10 plz.
Rolled 3 (1d10)
Luck be with me!
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>47604027
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>47604049
One more and I'm done
>>47604034
>3: Under Strength: The Chapter is recovering from a defeat or accident that occurred several decades ago, or has recently suffered heavy, but not irrecoverable losses. It is probably at a minimum of half strength, and should return to nominal strength within a decade.
Ooh, not good. Maybe the Assassinorum took out more than just our Chapter Master, eh?
Give me 2d100, one for our friends and one for our enemies.
>>47604034
>>47604049
>>47604054
Yeah, we definately got a 3...
>>47604059
Welp, sucks that you got drastically outrolled on 3s, huh?
Rolled 75, 72 = 147 (2d100)
>>47604060
100 get!
Rolled 3, 13 = 16 (2d100)
>>47604091
I pray to the emperor this chapter is able to hold it's own. Because I don't want the chapter to be
Lamenters: Iron Hands edition
>>47604119
"Hope is the first step on the road to disapointment"
>>47604104
>75: Imperial Guard from a specific world.
What world do we want to be buddy-buddy with?
>72: A particular Daemon, Daemon Prince or Disciple of Chaos.
Ooh, that could be interesting. So, who've made enemies with in Chaos?
Alternatively, we could go with >>47604119
>3: The Administratum
>13: The Orks, or a particular Waaagh! or Warboss.
Would we rather go with this?
Rolled 38, 80 = 118 (2d100)
>>47604162
Hmmm......
Terror tactics don't really work on Daemons, do they? And the IH is known for killing Guard Regiments, so...
I'm gonna reroll mine!
>>47604104
Rolled 59, 83 = 142 (2d100)
>>47604162
I have a feeling the rolls may suck
>>47604187
>38: Adeptus Mechanicus
>80: A particular Chaos-aligned group (i.e., Traitor Titan Legion, Chaos pirates, renegade Imperial Guard, etc.)
With this we know where we get all our bionics from as IH successors, and it lets us actually potentially scare some Chaos enemies.
>>47604207
>59: Chartist Captains
>83: A particular Chaos-aligned group (i.e., Traitor Titan Legion, Chaos pirates, renegade Imperial Guard, etc.)
Um... we'll always know where we're going, I guess? I'm not even sure who the Chartist Captains are, or what they really do. Like the above, we have Chaos aligned enemies we can potentially scare.
Do we like either of these better?
>>47604256
I like the Admech one, that sounds good to me.
Also, here's a color scheme I came up with, 3rd company, the Chest Eagle/Skull tells what company he's in.
Anyone like it?
>>47604295
Not bad, though you might want to wait until we're finished before making colour schemes.
And I assume that people will want to go with the Admech roll. I'll wait a little longer and see.
>>47604256
Since we're successors to the Iron Hands, sure. What not? Let's fight the Emperor's Children: For Manus!
>>47604295
Very nice anon
>>47604295
Alternatively, this one, with the non-red abdomen.
Please note that the black is supposed to represent the 30k IH color scheme, which I can't really replicate with the Painter.
>>47604317
Eh, that was the last roll anyways. Plus, I started working on it when we rolled Fear.
>>47604330
Thanks! How about an EC-led Chaos Cult/Warband?
>>47604330
...I can't tell which you ere voting for there. I think it was the Admech+Chaos traitors roll, though.
Okay, so what particular Chaos-aligned group do we hate? Also, do we want to be more specific about whom in the Admech we do but stuff with, or no?
>>47604335
Were you using http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/smpbeta.php or http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/smp.php ?
>>47604344
No need to be specific with the Admech.
Emperor's Children
>>47604344
Let's go with an Emperor's Children led Cultist Warband, or somesuch.
Led by a few ECs, but mostly Cultists.
>>47604354
I used the first one.
For a name, how about the Blooded Hands? Iron Sovereigns?
>>47604384
How about Steel Gorgons?
>>47604423
Hmmm... That, or Blood Gorgons.
For some reason, I feel the need to add blood to the name. Disregard that if you wish, both Steel Gorgons and Blood Gorgons sounds great to me.
Okay, so we're an Iron Hands successor, founded in the 40th Millenium, on a Crusade. We hate Heretics and have a tendency to destroy everything.
Our Occulobes are oversensitive, which gives us 'night vision' but makes it hard for us to see in 'daylight', but are otherwise fine mutation-wise.
One of our old Chapter-Masters was a fucking bad ass who led many glorious campaigns and slayed countless foes of the Emperor... until, for reasons unknown to us, he was slain along with a significant portion out our chapter, leaving us weak.
Our Homeworld is a Feral Desert world that we really only bother with when we need something/something important happens, otherwise we let the Planetary Governor run it for us.
We diverge from the Codex Astartes a bit, but not too much, and specialize in Terror tactics. We have a special fighting style (possibly dual chain axes, we haven't decided yet) which helps us that, possibly helped along by our buddies in the Admech.
We venerate the Emperor above all, like any good Imperial Citizen should, and have a hate-boner for the Emperor's Children, especially one particular EC-led warband.
That all sound good?
>>47604492
Spunds good to me!
Dual Chainaxes especially.
>>47604492
Sounds perfecto
>>47604506
>>47604509
Good.
We all seem pretty happy with either >>47604335 or >>47604295 as our colour scheme, so now we just need a name.
And a heraldry, but that's kind of difficult. It requires some artistic talent.
>>47604554
I made a new one, I like it better, honestly.
>>47604554
Steel Gorgons is a good name
>>47604554
What about the Iron Dragons? Didn't Ferrus Manus wrestle something like that to death on his homeplanet?
>>47604578
I do too, to be honest.
>>47604445
Isn't there already a (traitor) chapter called the Blood Gorgons?
>>47604579
Well, it's not up to me. It's up to you guys.
>>47604614
Apparently there is. Huh.
>>47604612
I like it.
Alright since there's already a traitor chapter called the Blood Gorgons. We have two options
Steel Gorgons or Iron Dragons. Let's vote
>>47604641
I say Iron Dragons.
>>47604612
Not as far as I can tell. You fought a bunch of mechanical monsters, the greatest of which (and the one that melted and gave him his 'iron' hands) was a 'great silver wyrm'.
The only thing about iron dragons I could find was a special type of Dreadnought used by the Salamanders.
>>47604687
Iron Wyrms then?
>>47604687
*He
Also, remember that Ferrus' planet was called Medusa... which is probably the reason Gorgon even came up. Well, that and Ferrus' nickname.
Anyone here involved, even if tangentially, with Hua Yuan or the Shields?
>>47604739I started the Shields.
>>47604739
>>47604747
I don't really get what this is about, but whatever.
>>47604699
If people like that better, sure. If you guys want to call them the Steel Gorgons, or the Iron Dragons (which sounds more like a Salamander successor chapter to me, but whatever) or the Iron Wyrms then go ahead.
All I've read in this thread is this
>>47604492
Sounds interdasting. Iron Hands that went full retard with The Flesh Is Weak and doesn't believe collateral is a thing that exists? Pretty cool
Some potential names/schemes
>Iron Chimeras/Chimeras
>Unpainted ceramite or metallic grey with furs and hides or red thunderbolts across the entire body
>Centaurs
>Black with green arms from the elbow down
>Steel Titans/Iron Giants
>Dark metallic grey with pale highlights
>>47604813
Eh, let's just do Steel Gorgons to get it over with, and get to the fluffing.
Also, Sanguine Shields and Hua Yuan are a /tg/ BA successor, and Guard Regiment. Both have their own pages on the wiki, as well as their own art.
>>47604832
Thanks, man.
Also, rereading what I wrote I forgot to mention that our old Chapter Master was slain by the Officio Assassinorum.
>>47604833
I know that, but I'm not really sure why it was brought up here.
>>47604832
Sweet, someone joined in!
Here's the color scheme >>47604578 and I guess we're going with Steel Gorgons for the name, unless anyone suggests something better.
>>47604858
Well, when I first saw the design I thought 'the Bloody Fists'. Only problem is that
a) they might already exist
and
b) it sounds kind of like an Eldar thing centered around Khaine.
>>47604884
Yeah, I though of adding blood to the name as well.
I still like the Iron Sovereigns, or the Blooded Hands.
I'm going to sleep now, hope this is still around when I wake up.
>>47604858
>>47604884
I'm pretty fond of Chimeras. Naming them after a beast or monster seems essential, vaguely greek perhaps? Maybe arabic, or Persian perhaps? Maybe even egyptian?
Brazen Bulls? Iron Rocs? Steel Ghouls? Brass Sphinxes?
>>47604918
If we end up doing the same thing and roll up Iron Hands again. That will be the first name we have an option for
>>47604813
I'm going to overhaul the Sanguine Shields page, since I'm actually making an army on them, and the Hua Yuan pages are incomplete
I'm looking for help
>>47604953
Ah, okay. I can't help you much there (probably), so sorry. Maybe somebody else here can, though.
>>47604918
Blooded Hands could work, though like I said it's up to you guys, not me.
>>47604941
Why? I don't dislike the idea or anything, but why?
>>47604999
Mostly it's the desert planet thing, 40k is not the place for subtlety. That and their seemingly reckless nature and Mutation lends them a certain savage, perhaps even beastly, persona.
So something vaguely greek in following with the Gorgon, or something from the middle east seems fitting. I think Brazen Bulls is pretty clever
>>47605049
Hmmm, I want to stick with Steel Gorgons. And you have a good point....Gah! Anon you're making me feel things I don't want to feel!
>>47604999
I like Blooded Hands, honestly.
>>47605049
Too similar to the Brazen Minotaurs.
>>47605049
Brazen Bulls would work better for a chapter whose colour-scheme actually includes bronze, and who use fire quite a bit. Not a bad name, though.
>Mostly it's the desert planet thing, 40k is not the place for subtlety. That and their seemingly reckless nature and Mutation lends them a certain savage, perhaps even beastly, persona.
Well, the Desert-part hasn't really been very important so far, so feel free to try and work it into something if you want, though you'll need other people to agree.
I wouldn't really call them reckless. I mean, terror-tactics don't necessarily have to be "charge them right fucking now and never stop attacking" or anything like that. And I don't see what they're mutation has to do with anything.
>>47605078
The Minotaurs are a chapter, and they are indeed brazen, but I don't think the Brazen Minotaurs are a chapter.
>>47605075
I just don't the Steel Gorgons is fresh enough to be memorable, especially when so much more can be done with them
>>47605122
There is a Brazen Minotaurs chapter, actually.
0 fluff, but they're canon.
>>47605110
Mutations are frowned upon OP. Even the vaunted Blood Angels are treated with varying levels of mistrust due to their quirks of Geneseed.
As for the name it could be a pun in that they are not actually bronze nor brass but in reference to their zeal in battle.
As for their tactics, do note that terrorism is a tactic. I think a caliphate chapter could be pretty cool if we play our cards right
>>47605134
I've been corrected and am highly upset. Something with Rocs or Chimera? They are known to be terrifying.
>>47605170
Hmmm...
Blood Hounds?
>>47605199
They don't sound like succesors of the Iron Hands. Iron Hounds?
>>47605253
Eh, Doom Eagles don't sound like an Ultramemes successor, and neither do the Red Talons sound like an IH successor. Eh.
Really, I just feel like Blood or Iron should be in the name.
>[Still Unnamed Chapter]'s Tactics
>The [Insert Name Here] are a lesser-known descendant of the Iron Hands, known primarily for slaughter of their slaughter of the Scions of Lust, a Slaaneshi-worshipping Chaos warband led by some Emperor's Children traitor marines, during the Battle of Mytus V.
>The [Insert Name Here] are usually recruited from Feral Worlds, especiallyy their Homeworld of Kerakion, a harsh Desert planet that spends half the year locked in day and the other half locked in night due to it's rather bizzare orbit around it's system's star. Because of this, their armour is often decorated with primitive trinkets, such as the remains of their enemies, with the purpose of intimidation.
>While the trinkets probably help, the primary reason the [Insert Name Here] are so effective in inducing terror into their enemies comes down to their habits of forcing their enemies to fight them in the dark where they have an advantage, their brutal fighting style and their relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus usually allowing them to get bionics specifically crafted with intimidation in mind.
Do... people not like my idea? Have they just not seen it?
Do they think I'm not finished yet, and as such they're waiting for me to post more before commenting?
>>47605383
I like it OP, it's pretty cool
>>47605416
Thanks.
Sorry for the typos and stuff, my keyboard's starting to deteriorate and I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet & I'm generally an idiot and somehow manage to not notice that I've repeated a word or a letter, or left something out.
>>47605449
Ah no worries man, so could we work some more on the fluff? I have some good ideas to throw around
>>47605469
Feel free to work on the fluff, man. Go nuts, even.
By the way, I made my own possible design for the "Rip and Terror Fists".
Hmm... now that I think about it, Terror Fists isn't a terrible name.
Fists of Terror? No, that'd be an Imperial Fists descendant... Hands of Terror?
No comments?
Yeah... everyone's gone now. Oh well, I'll try to keep this alive for as long as possible, in the hopes that people will come back tomorrow and actually care. Maybe.
ba-dump-bump
Using my design, here's an Assault Marine
I actually do like >>47604578 better than my design.
I, personally, like Blooded/Bloody Hands. It ties into their color scheme, predecessor chapter and terror tactics.
But that's just my opinion.
>>47606712
>>47606577
Either of those could work... but, honestly the Traitor Marines in the Scions of Lust warband would probably just continue to wear their old armour - so mostly the Emperor's Children colour scheme.
>>47604832
>Centaurs
>Black with green arms from the elbow down
>>47607232
>from the elbows down
Uh... oops? Sorry, man.
>Steel Titans/Iron Giants
>Dark metallic grey with pale highlights
>>47607232
>>47604832
>Centaurs
>Black with green arms from the elbow down
>>47604832
>Iron Chimeras/Chimeras
>Unpainted ceramite or metallic grey with furs and hides or red thunderbolts across the entire body
I'll see what I can do for this one...
>>47603354
Fuck you, fleet based is cool
This is probably what I'd wager unpainted ceramite looks like - the resemblance to Grey Knights is because they supposedly don't paint their armour.
>>47607645
There's another chapter, a Fists' successor, who doesn't paint their armor, so there's a precedent in lore
>>47607757
Cool, I guess.
Anyway, the following few images are pretty much the best I could do with the Spess Mehreen painter.
>Iron Chimeras/Chimeras
>Unpainted ceramite or metallic grey with furs and hides or red thunderbolts across the entire body
This is completely unrelated to [Insert Name Here], this is just a Space Marine I made in the painter that I like.
Same as >>47608266
Well, it's almost 2 in the morning for me, and I'm starting to feel tired, so I'll be getting offline soon...
I'll probably post one more thing just before sleep and then after that, unless someone else wants to keep this thread alive until anybody else who's interested shows up, it'll just have to sink to the bottom of the catalog/back of the pages.
>>47609133
