Alright anons, let's roll up a regiment!
My only rule is that any result of a destroyed homeworld will be rerolled. Because dead homeworlds aren't terribly fun.
Roll me 1d10!

Folling
>>46129425
>Militia
A bunch of poor sods, armed with nought but cheap auto-arms and lasguns, while their armor might as well be paper, and in some cases really is just painted on paper.
Regardless, they'll do their duty to world, Throne and Emperor.
ROLL ME 1D100!
Rolled 3 (1d100)
Rolled 22 (1d100)
>>46129608
>All male demographic
Seems most this militia is men! Ratio of male-to-female can be adjusted later, though I'm assuming this means the militia leaves most of their women at home while all the men go off to war.

>>46129764
I say yes.
>>46129875
>Standard conscription
Considering they're a bunch of nobles, I fully expect them to be made up of rich people wanting to get some prestige, or officers whose fathers bought them commissions as presents.
ROLL ME 1D100

Rolled 40 (1d100)
>>46129764
I'd say >>46129608 is canon by four minutes, but since it was 3 and >>46129701 was 33, let all the officers/sergeants be nobles. They can treat the troops as valets or coolies.
>>46130057
This!
>>46130049
>Civilized world
We're not some bunch of rabble from one of those filthy backwater worlds, we are CIVILIZED militia! We read our books, and have tea, and get actual air support.

>Death World
>>46130218
Desert.
Those pyramids won't raid themselves, by Jove!
Or maybe a world with desert and jungle?
>>46130218
An arid jungle of cacti.
>>46130279
Ouch!
>>46130262
On the other hand, going desert could mean were Space Napoleonic Guard .
Well, moving on a bit.
ROLL ME 1D100
Also, put in your vote for the terrain. So far it's one desert, one jungle, one 'why not both'
Rolled 70 (1d100)
>>46130370
Yes, my liege.
>>46129973
>>46130370
I want Volpone Blueboods, or atleast Scion stand ins.
Pls.
>>46130370
I say both.
Fuck mono terrain planets.
Rolled 24 (1d100)

If not both, I vote Jungle. You can still have pyramids in a jungle.

It's late.
Damn, I wanted drop.
>>46130370
>Mechanized Infantry
Tally ho! We charge across the plains and fields in our horses of steel, while our footsloggers step out of the back to bring the Emperor's lasfire on the enemy.
ROLL ME 1D100

Fuck it, go for all of them
Rolled 22 (1d100)

Unless they are wearing Sister-style human power armor, with heavier armor for the Noble sergeants, no, no objections to Mechanized.
>>46130505

Well gentlemen, which one?
>>46130596
I mean, the way this has been going... Why not both?
>>46130596
Why no both?

>>46130734
Fanatical, mother fucker
>>46130734
>FANATICAL
Is this a question?
>>46130734
I say Adherent for the nobles and fanatical for the coolies.
>>46130757
Agreed. Sometimes this backfires on the nobles. But they tend to keep them in check with "Mutany is Heresy" speeches.
>>46130757
>>46130755
>>46130749
It appears there is agreement, though I myself agree with the last anon on differing loyalty levels.

Since there are two of the same result, we'll go with exotic mounts. Perhaps they imported those Krieg horses, or some fine specimens from Attila.

>Adeptus Titanicus
Say, Princeps, fancy a spot of tea and crumpets?
So what will it be guys?
>>46131028
Arbites, because they're cool
>>46131028
All three draw recruits from the ranks of the Nobles.
>>46131070
But the Titanicus are strictly Mechanicus. I don't think they draw outside recruits for the Titans, save for those in the Knight Houses.
>>46131105
Titanicus doesn't really fit, I don't think
>>46131105
As the guy who rolled Titanicus, I'm cool with it being dropped.

We got a summary? Want to roll for colors?
>>46129764
Is it just me, or do those guys look more Navy than Infantry?
SUMMARY:
>Noble militia
>From a civilized planet
>Planet is a mix of desert and jungle
>Mechanized infantry regiment
>That runs on shock and awe, and I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD
>And the officers ride on exotic mounts
>The regiment is also 200% LOYAL
>They're friends with Arbites
>And they hate the Saharduin
>>46131451
They're meant to look like colonial Americans, though they're basically 'the nobles'
>>46131492
Sweet!
>>46130505
Wouldn't the recoil from the gun be hitting the guy in the turret if he's standing like that.
>>46131492
Sounds like Colonial South America desu baka senpai
>>46131546
It's a lasgun turret. Recoil's probably negligible and there's no overpressure to pulp him.
>>46131547
Can you expand on that? We've insofar focused on a somewhat British redcoat feel for the regiment, though not to the lazy levels of the Praetorian Guard.
>>46131632
>civilized desert jungle homeworld
>fanatic like those damn Spanish Catholics
>shock and awe close combat mixed with heavy armor
>conflict with specific xenos, fucking redskins
>Exotic mounts, Spain brought the first horses to America
Maybe I'm just retarded, but that's the vibe I got
>>46131717
Well, shit... You're right!
>>46131717
Interesting.
Let's just make sure to not repeat the Castauellians again.
>>46131492
A mostly male nobility leads a milita of chattel and peasants. While large portions of the planet are Civilized, outside of those areas is a Catcus Jungle Deathworld (With hidden ancient pyramids, by jove). The nobility lead constant expeditions to raid these ruins.
The miltias tend to be MECHANIZED/HEAVY/INFANTRY that specializes in Close Combat/Shock and Awe tactics. (Bayoneted Rocket Launchers?)
While the coolies are FANATICAL, the nobility themselves are merely Adherents, but tend to disseminate that Mutiny is Heresy in the eyes of The Emperor.
The nobilty also ride Exotic Mounts as status symbols, and often compare their mounts with one another. Typically a form of Krieg horse is common among the nobility, and breeding papers can extend several generations but every once in a while, a particular noble will try to get attention with a mount of another type.
They all fight For the Homeworld. The Nobles in particular compete for Homeworld Status...
Some Nobles get noticed by the Arbites or thee Administratum, and "Old friends" often pull strings for one another.
They are particular enemies of Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Organization Y, while their raiding of old Elder tombs hasn't made them friends of the Dark Elder. Their Sadles also tend to be made of the Finest Sarharduin skins, and imported Sarharduin cavier is a delicacy.
>>46131754
who are those niggs?
One way I think we can integrate the horses and Chimeras together is that, while the Chimeras form the body of the attack and take the hits, the horses go around the enemy and harass them with lasgun and grenade launcher fire.
>>46131812
Previous regiment created, didn't really get past thread one. Was heavily Spanish and conquistador themed.
>>46131809
Personally, I like the idea of an all noble militia, and the peasant fodder noble officer combo feels a little stale to me
But that's just me
>>46131944
Was that the one where they had the really long name and people kept arguing between conquistadors and monks?
>>46131985
The very same.
>>46131994
They were fucked because no one could agree on anything
>>46131967
Could be that it's differing levels of noble. Upper middle-class and lower nobility get to be the grunts and footsloggers, while the higher and richer nobles get to be the officers.
The regiment's social dynamics would wind up all Game of Thrones, but at the same time they see the grunts as also nobility, so NCOs can actually get a commission and join the officer's club.
To outsiders though, the entire regiment would be a several thousand-strong officer's club, while the actual warrior nobles like Vostroya would probably look down on them for being militia.
>>46132058
Problem with backstabbing and political maneuvers is that they're fanatical, so they probably wouldn't want to directly dishonor the creed. However, the religious fanaticism could be the main factor in holding these guys together past all their political intrigue and rivalries
Let's start with a name. Any suggestions?
I was thinking the Paraveran Cavaliers.
>>46131717
They conquistadores now.
>>46132265
Let's not actually. We already tried that before.
>>46132298
Have we? Think I missed that then.
>>46132298
Hey, everything can be done right as long as there's no spergs
>>46132099
Would this mean that the regiment has a lower or higher amount of priests than usual?
>>46132404
Priests could work instead of komissars
>>46132404
Probably more.
>>46132471
The specific job of the priest is completely different from that of the commissars though.
The commissars themselves would, ideally, have to be both incorruptible, have a high amount of faith to be appreciated by the regiment, and have enough force of will to lead when needed without getting bogged down in nobility titles
>>46132542
I just meant as like moral guides and enforces, dog
Would the regiment use flamers? Or would the officer's just use hand-flamers as personal weapons?
>>46132772
Flamer Calvary sounds horribly ineffective and terribly badass
>>46132772
...Close Combat Shock and Awe...
Rolled 44, 79 = 123 (2d100)
Just gonna roll for renown and demeanor on the Stormtrooper Company creator, to help add detail to the regiment.

>>46132991
>Well Known
>Psyker Intolerant
>>46132876
Actually. Pistoleer cavalry was tried but had the wee problem of not being able to outgun infantry. Flamethrower cavalry could destroy every fucking thing. See opening. Ride up. Fwhoosh. Wheel about, ride away, get more fuel. Repeat as necessary.
>>46133148
Problem is riding into the flames. You can't really maintain a formation and not run into this problem
>>46133165
>>46133148
I still support grenade launcher cavalry, with rounds stretching from frag to smoke to incendiary
>>46133180
Second this
I REALLY NEED A SUMMARY
THREE PARAGRAPHS OR LESS
>>46133214
SUMMARY:
>Noble militia
>From a civilized planet
>Planet is a mix of desert and jungle
>Mechanized infantry regiment
>That runs on shock and awe, and I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD
>And the officers ride on exotic mounts
>The regiment is also 200% LOYAL
>They're friends with Arbites
>And they hate the Saharduin
ALSO:
>Maybe Spanish
>Possibly grenade launcher cavalry
>Regiment internal social dynamics are like Game of Thrones
>Regiment united by their religious fanaticism
>>46096916
These guys need some love
>>46133214
Arbites you sack of shit, how was the party
>>46133246
They can be the Other Chaos Organization that these guys are enemies of...
>>46133240
ULTRALOYAL dudes that ride in on tanks and fucking sweet animals and shit and work with judge dread and fucking hate sharks?
I'm down, but am iffy about the Spanish thing but will gladly help fluff as long as it doesn't devolve into memery like the last Spanish regiment.
>>46133259
Ayyyy ten beers in, six shots of sake, and a minibar bottle of wine later I had a great time.
Now I'm on fucking /tg/ writing fluff for three separate homebrews.
>>46133278
YES.
>>46133165
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caracole
Riding into the flames would be stupid, yes.
>>46133404
Just an idea...seeing as these guys are fiercely fanatical in their faith...should they take no prisoners policy? Seeing as all enemies are essentially heretics..
>>46133474
How about common prisoners are worthless, officers are to be held in comfort for a ransom? If they ain't too heretical of course.
>>46133474
Prisoners? My friend, surely you mean fat with which we grease our treads.
Also how's about Hussars?
>>46133493
I believe that could work. But there are always instances of mass executions due to one of our many heavily devout Officers?
>>46133404
Have they decided on the Xenos yet? Convincing them to go Sahaugin would certainly help tie up loose ends, here.
>>46133505
I like the idea of heavy lance cavalry seeing as close combat is a huge part of our regiment. And maybe they also carry grenade launchers for the shock and awe?
>>46133522
Well...these guys are lead by an enigmatic Xeno >>46096916 and don't discriminate in their ranks so they include any mercenaries they can muster
>>46133518
>>46133555
Gonna just start like this. Feel free to call me out for stupid ideas, I'm hella baked.
>>46133505
I was thinking more dragoons. Remember, the rough rider part is only an attachment to their main focus as mechanized infantry. The mounted cavalry has to work in tandem with the armored cavalry.
>>46133586
Chain Swords' and Grenade Launchers...that's one badass Dragoon Regiment
>>46133555
Grenade launchers and Hunting Lances a la Sanguine Shields/Tarellian Rough Riders.
>>46133586
Kurwa Guardsmen are more visually interesting and recognizable and the difference is negligent to normie and those who aren't arm chair historians.
Fanatically devoted
Lances/Grenade Launchers
>>46133637
Hmm, that certainly makes the recipe of a fast paced and chaotic battle. Our commanders would control the perfect storm...the enemy wouldn't know what hit them.
I do believe tales of their exploits will reach the ear of the Emperor himself
>>46133665
Any objections to having the Bolts of Hammerwatch be their enemies?
>>46133665
And what's more. Being as its a militia, it is essentially an expendable force. Which would constantly see our troops in battles against superior equipped foes. We'd be some battle hardened motherfuckers.
>>46133692
No I was actually thinking similar hahaha
>>46133692
No particular objection. Are the guys in that thread cool with it?
>>46133708
Yes.
>>46133718
So hows it looking so far? What's the summary now?
>>46133852
For the Bolts or the 417th Kurwa Cavaliers?
>>46133886
Both would be nice desu
>>46133886
So? Summary's?
>>46133896
I'm not the OP bub, and it's typically the OP's job to do the write up.
The Bolts of Hammerwatch are here >>46045658
>>46133474
In the old codex, there was a guard who sacrificed all their prisoners to the Emperor, as a way to ask for his forgiveness
>>46133637
Poles would be a little close to the Vostroyans, wouldn't they? outside of the of hussars, but the style of uniforms aren't all that different from contemporary Cossacks, which the Vostroyans were based off
>>46135813
Vostroyans are Russians and have big hats and steam punky uniforms.
Hussars have wings and look borderline mediaeval, there's a marked visual difference.
>>46137278
Don't tell me these niggas don't look like Vostroyans
>>46138999
Does this?
>>46141146
how about something like this
>>46141688
Did you just fucking draw that?!
It's cool as hell the only thing I would say is give him an animal pelt or an alien steed.
Shits fucking dope tho
>>46141752
reverse images turns up this polish nigga: https://www.artstation.com/artist/jakubrozalski
Most of his stuff would actually be good inspiration, now that I'm looking at it
>>46142134
I am a fool.
Yeah. Honestly this is what I pictured.
Now what should we name them? # Something Cavaliers?
>>46142328
Weilkopolski Cavaliers? My only issue with being primarily cavalry is that there's already two regiments that fit that roll
>>46142365
They're primarily Mechanized Infantry. Just the cavalry has a special amount of swag
>>46130218
Planets can have more than one biome.
Part of the planet is hot but dry, the other part is hot and wet.
>>46142424
What I'm getting at is what do these guys do differently from other regiments? What combat role do they fit?
>>46142503
Armored calvary? I don't think there are any heavy Calvary regimentd besides that one from the earlier codex
>>46142503
Mounted cav blow shit up with grenade launchers.
Armored cav do armored cav things.
>>46144605
>Mounted cav blow shit up with grenade launchers.
Attilans kinda already do that sorta
>>46144626
They charge people with explosive lances. And they primarily focus on their horses, rough rider regiment and all.
Ours works in tandem with the Chimeras to destroy the enemy. The cavalry pop smoke, burn things, blow up enemy positions, etc.
>>46144668
Why is it always Chimeras?
I was actually hyped for space conquisadors.
There are already enough NOT-russian regiments in the IG
>>46146398
I know, me too, but I was going for more like 16/17/18th century spainard colonists
>>46146444
nice trips. Also i just got that picture searching "Space Conquisadore" in google
>>46146398
Do you remember the last fucking time we did this?
It was a shitshow.
Besides these are Hussars you pleb
>>46146589
no i do not remember it. got any archive link?
>>46129696
Dropped for sexism
>>46146609
Problem was there was one guy who kept pushing space monks and ruined the whole idea. It wasn't the idea itself, just rampant autism
>>46146629
I'm assuming were just going to ignore the Futbol vox officers and the name that was literally three names long.
The idea of space conquistadors is way better than space hussars.
>>46146082
Chimeras are just the usual APC the Guard uses. And since this regiment's mechanized infantry, they'll probably be using it.
>>46147274
Why not both?
>>46147274
You missed the bus hommie.
>>46147556
Because that's nigh impossible to make work.
What do you people have against Winged tankers?
>>46147601
Poles distinctive to be a cool IG regiment
>>46147886
*just aren't that distinctive enough
>>46147941
Winged hussars are though.
I mean, look at them, wings!
>>46146629
Indeed. I was the OP for that thread, kind of sad that all the autism ruined it, I had some fun with it.
>>46147886
Read here
>>46147987
Catachans aren't US Soldiers they're all Rambo. Kriegers aren't WWII soldiers they're all sinister trench fighters.
These Cavaliers aren't poles, they're Winged Hussars. Winged banners, sabers and lances, animal pelts and all
>>46148471
>>46147987
It's just my opinion, I'll go with what everyone wants
>>46149330
Awfully kind anon.
The past couple of homebrews have fallen through the cracks, like the Dune Talons and Sunken Angels, and the Bolts of Hammerwatch are in their way out. I'd really like to see these guys make it since it's a fairly fun concept.
>>46149500
Some made it though, like the Golden Spectres or the Sanguine Shields
>>46149762
Sanguine Shields died too.
>>46149500
I remember the Dune Talons, and Sunken Angles (I loved them), but I don't remember the Bolts of Hammerwatch.
Would love to see the Shields come back one day, when all the autists die out.
>>46149818

They can easily be brought back. I want them too

Here's the Spectres if anyone's interested. They're stealth-defense imperial fists successors
How is it that some regiments/chapters get thread after thread of fleshing out while others die by the second thread? What keeps the fluffing out going?
Is there a way to do the hussar wings as Aquilla wings? I know that Dark Angels kinda already do the hussar wings, which is why I'm not particularly fond of the idea.

Yeah, but the Hussar wings are over shadowed with monk robes and terrible models.
Hussars have armour and animal pelts and sabers and lances to help them stand out.
I'm beginning to rethink the whole Hussars bit. Doesn't make much sense with their homeworld.
Conquistadors, Hussars or something else?
>>46156664
I like conquistadors, but it can be Rommel in space
>>46157142
Rommel would be tanks, and Armageddon Steel Legion have already taken the whole panzer division schtick

I'm just trying hard to find them interesting.
I know people have been talking combined arms, but why not mechanised cavalry? Rock up in a fleet of Gorgons, which open the doors and then cavalry charge?
To pick up a dead post, being cavaliers, I do thing they should be undisciplined, rather pushing forwards and keep going, damn the battle plan. Very Prince Rupert.
Then with the grenade launcher/flamer debate, why not both? Pop smokes and frags from a few hundred away to survive the charge, and then bear down upon these godless heathens with sheets of flame?
And if we're being Polish, Kawaliers, please.
Just my thoughts.

You mean Crassus? Because Gorgons are pretty damn slow, they're basically land-based Higgins boats for the siege regiments to deploy the troops.
