Hey /tg/, I'm bored so let's roll up an Imperial Guard regiment to pass the time.
Roll a d10 for Regiment Classification.
Rolled 2 (1d10)
>>47681974
Rolling, for the Emperor!!
>>47682037
We are a proper regiment, Guardsman!
Roll a d100 to see what kind of band-of-misfits this regiment is!
Rolled 97 (1d100)
>>47682066
Sir yes sir!
>>47682077
By the Emperor! This really IS a band of misfits!
Guardsman, roll d3+1 times to see just WHO serves in this regiment!
Rolled 1 + 1 (1d3 + 1)
>>47682106
>>47682130
Alright Guardsmen, now roll me a 2d100 to see who your brothers and sisters in arms are from!
Rolled 69, 1 = 70 (2d100)
>>47682142Hoping for Vat grown priesthood
>>47682166
Vat-Grown men, Guardsman! I will allow you a re-roll of the 1, should you wish to!
If not, proceed to roll a d10!
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>47682209
Let's save that re-roll for later just in case,
>>47682224
Very well then!
Standard Conscription, good enough for me, good enough for you!
Roll a 2d100 for our home world and it's terrain!
Rolled 84, 86 = 170 (2d100)
>>47682271
>>47682281
An Airless Shrine World! Emperor, we've got something going on here!
Give me a d100 for core units!
Rolled 71 (1d100)
>>47682316
>>47682320
Drop troops! Hallelujah, it's raining men!
D10 for the specialization.
>>47682342
On it Sir!
>>47682363
Guardsman! Do you take me for some sort of fool? Roll properly or I'll distribute the Emperor's Benediction!
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>47682342
>>47682363
I fucked it up Sir!
>>47682379
Lightning Strike! Drop in, and hit them where it hurts, a real sucker punch!
Now roll a d10 for how loyal these Vat-grown Shriners are! They better be danged loyal, else I'm a fool!
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>47682404
>>47682411
Of course they're Fanatical, they're Vat-grown Shrine worlders! Guardsman, do you intend to make me look like a fool?
Roll a d100 for our Special Equipment, what in the Emperor's name do we have that others don't?
Rolled 13 (1d100)
>>47682439
>>47682447
War Trophies, eh? Unless these are purity seals or some form of medal, then these guardsmen have something going on!
D100 for their creed!
Rolled 91 (1d100)
>>47682478
Rolled 71 (1d100)
>>47682478
>>47682496
>>47682498
Not OP, but maybe we can combine these?
>>47682496
Steel Over Flesh!
>>47682498
Best of the Best!
Well, guardsmen, Steel over Flesh was rolled first, so that's what we'll be going with!
>>47682517
What? Sure thing!
These guardsmen are augmented and believe themselves to be some of the best around! Perhaps they are, I don't care!
Roll a 2d100 for their friends and enemies!
Rolled 17, 51 = 68 (2d100)
>>47682546
>>47682551
A chapter of the Adeptus Astartes and the Tyranids? Fascinating!
Well, we've finished rolling them up! I'll write up a summary post next!
>>47682571
>Regiment
>Vat-Grown Males
>Standard Conscription
>Airless Shrine World
>Drop Troops
>Lightning Strike
>Fanatical
>War Trophies
>Steel Over Flesh
>Best of the Best
>>47682546
So heavy augmented, ultra skilled, ultra faithful, lightning strike drop troops who are trained to kill even before birth?
I thought this was the guard, not the astartes.
>>47682611
Kek.
But these guys are religious, unlike most Astartes chapters!
>>47682637
So... even more loyal than Astartes?
So you've rolled some elite Skitarii? I mean, it doesn't say anywhere that it has to be a shrine world to the Emperor. Could be a shrine world to the Omnissiah.
>>47682611
Well, they are friends with an Astartes chapter. I bet the chapter definitely recruits from this regiment, and they probably train together as well.
>>47682663
None more loyal!
>>47682665
Could be. Though, I'm pretty sure only Shrine Worlds are dedicated to the Emps, Skitarii are part of Forgeworlds, I'd thought?
Should we roll up a custom Astares chapter?
>>47682778
Sure, but before that I think we should give these guys a name:
Here are some suggestions of mine. Keep in mind that this is just me brainstorming.
>Prexian droppers
>Maxwell Secundus 19th strike team
>Dendrobraxian's vatborn
>Emperors drop legion
>>47682838
I like Dendrobraxian's Vatborn
>>47682842
seconding
>>47682606
>Shrine World is in a sector that relied heavily on Marine protection
>raised some above average PDF regiments for engaging the enemy in fights while Marines operated behind enemy lines
>suddenly Tyranids invade
>the Chapter is (almost) destroyed, but they manage to destroy the Tyranids
>without the Chapter/while it's rebuilding, the PDF takes it upon themselves to fill the now vacant spot of Marines
>raise up this Regiment
>>47682842
Sounds good to me
>>47682842
Yeah, that name's pretty cool to me.
So shall Dendrobraxia be the name of the planet or just the regiment?
>>47682956
It could be the name of the planet.
Alternately, I think it might make sense if Dendrobraxia is the name of the Imperial Saint who made the shrine world holy. Given the fanatical nature of the regiment, it makes sense they might name themselves after a saint.
>>47682984
Maybe the planet can be called Sankt Dendro?
I've got this if we want to further our fluff with the regiment, the planet and the sector as a whole
>>47683051
Yeah, that could work.
All in all, this regiment fit really well together in theme and special abilities. If we want to fluff out the sector with other groups (Spess marines, etc), I'm game if others are.
Here is some fluff
+++Holo-tape recording from unknown Dendrobraxian guardsman+++
++Found in the bunker "Gamma-Alpha /6\" on Jurvus Prime in the aftermatch of the Tyranid invasion++
*Sounds of las fire in the background* Incomming! Spore mines to the left, Kronhendris, take position up by those containers, Emanuel take count our ammo, and check if the pilots are still alive. Emperor dammit, I though they couldn't shoot down our Valkyrie.
"Sir, they have us surrounded, we won't last long!"
*A roar along with heavy lasgun fire in the background* "Where is your fate guardsman! If they have us surrounded then that means there are more targets for us to shoot! And the more of these Emperor hatin' xenos we kill the more we make both the Emperor and Saint Dendrobraxia, so pick up that rifle and hold the line!
"Gargoyles incomming! Aim for the sky-"
+++END OF HOLO-VID RECORDING+++
>>47683153
Fuck, just saw that I misspell on some stuff.
Where did everyone go?
>>47682606
We have to give them some angel-related name
>>47682778
No. Do Eldar or Tau, we haven't rolled using those tables in years.
Why did everyone leave? I really like the idea behind this regiment
>>47691075
Probably a timezone thing with everyone going to sleep.
>>47691281
Stupid timezones
>>47682956
Yeah, the planet's name.
Also, how strong is the tyranid presence in the sector?
>>47691436
I like this one more >>47683013 since I like that the regiments call themselvs after a saint instead of ther homeworld
Shame this died off like that, I really liked this concept.
>>47694231
It's not dead. I just guess OP are off snoozing in his own timezone
>>47685729
Dendronian Iron Angels?
>>47697754
Also forgot my image.
Don't words starting with dendro- have to do with trees?
Maybe the shrine world is based around some sort of holy tree, one planted by a saint or blessed by a saint or the site of a saint's martyrdom or something?
>>47681974
>Hey /tg/, I'm bored so let's do something completely nonproductive
Go read Ride the Tiger you fuck.
>>47699177
You say to the day-and-three-hour-old OP post.
>>47681974
how does i roll dice on /tg/?
>>47699329
You're not the OP fool! I am!
But anyways, you put dice+numberdnumber in the options field.
Anyways, I completely forgot about this thread.
>>47699555
Sorry, sir! I forgot I wasn't in my old thread!
>>47699580
since the thread is dead, I'm gonna test it
Rolled 1, 4, 1, 2 = 8 (4d4)
>>47699593
fuck, trying again
>>47699614
want to just roll up a new regiment?
>>47700032
Sounds good to me.
>>47700090
alright, just give me a sec while I bring up the guard creation table
alright, so roll me a 1d10 to figure out what we originated as
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>47700161
>>47700176
Ooookay, we're militia. That's... Wow, we're probably worse than the PDF.
ah well, 1d100 for recruitment criteria.
Rolled 94 (1d100)
>>47700205
>>47700218
So, we're all convicts. Nice to know. Not sure why we wouldn't be a penal legion, but sure, why not.
1d10 for the nature of our recruits
Rolled 7 (1d10)
>>47700241
Maybe they arm the prisoners to defend the planet? Sort of like a cheap army?
>>47700255
hm... standard conscription. Huh, maybe these prisoners are offered reduced sentences or given pardons if they complete their tours of duty?
Now for the homeworld 1d100
Rolled 48 (1d100)
>>47700276
I'm thinking they take them, hand them an autogun and/or autopistol, and a knife, then tell them to go kill the attacking Xenos, Heretics, Mutants, etc.
Remember, they're Militia, not even PDF.
>>47700305
what do you know, we come from a Death World.
we must be one of the meanest sons of bitches out there.
What's the terrain like? 1d100
Rolled 61 (1d100)
>>47700348
Prison Planet? Take the survivors and hand them guns?
Or give them guns, then come back for them?
>>47700358
We're on an ocean planet. Hm. that probably makes for a very good prison. Not many places to hide out on except already colonized islands.
Deadly aquatic life, probably. These guys might be pretty good at amphibious operations.
Probably give the most tenacious prisoners supplies and drop them off at the battlefield. Pick up whoever's left, rinse and repeat.
What's the core unit for this regiment? 1d10
>>47700358
>>47700413
sorry, meant 1d100
Rolled 89 (1d100)
>>47700425
>>47700511
Rather odd. We seem to be set up for Siege warfare. Maybe we're just good at taking out coastal installations?
1d10 for our specialization
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>47700533
>>47700533
hey OP where do you get those tables from? seems interesting. mind putting them up or are they in some kind of book?
siege warfare could be saboteurs? so send prisoners with bombs in and look who makes it back?
>>47700624
1d4Chan, mate. Though, he's not the OP.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Imperial_Guard_Regiment_Creation_Tables
Here ya go!
>>47700602
We Guerillas nao! Kind of fits...
>>47700624
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Imperial_Guard_Regiment_Creation_Tables
Also, I'm not the OP, I'm just hijacking this thread for shits and giggles.
>>47700624
Usually, my impression of siege warfare has you breaching a place pretty conspicuously. Or, you know, you're just good at taking down fortifications and battlements by some means. Explosives, probably. So yeah, maybe suicide bombers.
And now for Loyalty: 1d10
>>47700646
ty, not on my home computer so didnt think about checking 1d4.
siege guerillas sounds nice, maybe good in hivesieges, creeping up vents and shit in the underhive to disrupt enemys and find weakpoints in the structure then preparing it for breaching
>>47700696
>siege guerillas sounds nice, maybe good in hivesieges, creeping up vents and shit in the underhive to disrupt enemys and find weakpoints in the structure then preparing it for breaching
yeah, except they come from an ocean world. So probably taking an objective from a more coastal environment would be more effective.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>47700694
>>47700718
we are... adherent. So basically average.
any special equipment (1d100)
Rolled 92 (1d100)
>>47700729
>>47700748
oh ho ho, we get Modified Weaponry.
I'm not entirely sure what that entails, but it sounds wonderful.
Now what's our regiments' Creed? Roll me a 1d100
Rolled 57 (1d100)
>>47700759
>>47700796
yup, we're doin' it "For the Emperor!"
Right, now who are we buddied up with?
1d100
Rolled 89 (1d100)
>>47700814
Y'know, I never really understood why the OP had to be there to have the thread continue. The creation involves everyone in the thread, after all.
Without namefagging, no one even knows who the OP is.
>>47700835
We got Navigators on our side. Sweet
true, I guess OP doesn't have to be here, but seeing as how OP normally happens to be the one who's invested in creation, they're generally the one calling the shots anyways, while everyone else is just tossing in rolls and ideas for fun
>>47700835
>>47700864
now we need to roll who are enemies are. 1d100, if you please.
Rolled 44 (1d100)
>>47700880
>>47700864
True enough, though the last time I started a guardsmen thread it went pretty cool, even when I left. Though one idiot decided to shoe-horn conquistadores amd other stuff, the autist.
It was a cool regiment though.
>>47700916
so we got a grudge with tyranids now. Great, maybe we're good at fighting aquatic bugs and infestations.
wait, maybe we're good at attacking underwater tyranid bases and creatures!
>>47700935
Sounds pretty cool.
Like armored scuba divers that fight giant underwater creatures
>>47701068
like, navy seals or something. underwater demolitions, underwater combat.
I think the name Shark Hunters may be appropriate, yes?
>>47683051
What is thaaaaaaat
>>47683051
where did you get that?
>>47701334
>>47701361
I got it from the Vasenica Sector thread(s)
