Did we actually settle the debate on their enemy? I thought there were mixed feelings.

Anyone who has opinions on the matter is welcome to chime in

How the hell did I only just think of this?

>>14981785

Yeah, I believe there were a few doubters. Mainly people concerned about how the enemy should be some sort of Old One cult (which I disagee with on the principal that... Well, I'm just not keen on the idea.)

>>14981785
to my knowledge no specific enemy has been settled on in favor of giving them a large slew of foes from both within (cultists of the mad old one, etc) and without (Eldar, Chaos of all Flavors, Dark Eldar)

...and honestly, since they are very much overstrength they need enemies everywhere to keep the inquisition mostly off their backs.

Though out of the ideas for an enemy the Ivory Huntsmen were invented, which is pretty awesome in my book.

Going to use this chapter for the last stand now.

Holy shit is that Ivory Huntsmen fanart?

FOES OF THE JAWS (and their motivations)

ELDAR: Humans are unfit to be the gatekeepers of the Mad One. They must be driven from the world before their ignorance is our undoing.

DARK ELDAR: There's no feeling quite like sea breeze in your hair and the sun on your back as you rip across the waves at breakneck speeds on a skimmer as you take plunder and slaves from feeble apes. Fishing's good too.

CHAOS, WORD BEARERS: There is a presence here, a dread presence from aeons pasts from a time when the Dark Pantheon was but a spark in the warp. This is our history, and we must return it to its rightful owners.

CHAOS, TZEENTCH: The dreaming dead sleep here in watery prison. It's power will be ours.

CHAOS, ALPHA LEGION: Inscrutable plot to bring own the Imperium as usual with a dash of a bid for eldritch power.

CHAOS, IVORY HUNTSMEN: Maresia is a hunt like no other. It has beasts of the sea that can swallow a thunderhawk whole! it has mutant monstrosities that cannot be seen by the eye! It has space marines that swarm like maddened fish in a feeding frenzy! This will truly be a hunt to remember!

TRAITORS, RELICTORS: The Abyssal Jaws do not put their bounty of artifacts and relics to use. Let us see to it that we do.

>>14982082
yes it is, had it drawfagged a day or so ago

>>14982230

Yeah, that pretty much sums up the motivations. I'll put them up on the wiki.

>>14982230
and of course there giant sea monsters that need killing and cults to the Mad One that pop up,

>>14982372

Done!

This is looking pretty good so far.

Bump and archived.

So, let's get some shit sorted out with Maresia. Last thread, I wrote this:
-----
Maresian Political System

Maresia is a Stewardship, ruled de facto by the Abyssal Jaws from their fortress-ship of “Watch of the Deep”. However, the chapter prefers to keep out of Maresian politics, only intervening and taking direct control in rare circumstances, such as the brutal Maresian World War. Maresia itself is ran as an elective monarchy, where a successor is chosen by the Great Assembly The Great Assembly consists of the Matriachs (or in very rare cases, Patriarchs) of every House, all of whom are given the right to vote. Any possible successors to the title of Grand Matriach (men aren't allowed to become government leaders) must receive the backing of one of the Great Houses in order to stand for Grand Matriarchy.

Nobody commented on it, so I don't know how people feel about it. Also, I'd say getting rules sorted out for the AJ should be a high priority as well, even though I personally don't play the game so I don't know jackshit about rules.

>>14982747

Oh yeah, and I'll take a name as well. I'm the guy who used to mark his subject as "1d4chan Faggotry".

Oh yeah, something for the wiki:

1) How many Marines do we have? Was it 3000? Or did we lower it?

2) What else would you guys like to see fluffed out/on the wiki page?

bump

>>14983090
3000 at the lower end

and a hell of a lot more chapters serfs than average

>>14984080

Thanks, added to the article.

So, should the Maresian SeaGuard have their own article?

>>14984909
THAT IS FUCKING AWESOME I LOVE IT

and maybe once we have more on them

>>14985449
I'll get to it then

bump

bump

thread so shitty he's bumpin' it because no one cares

>>14990359

Yeah, nobody compares... Which is why the last thread reached the limit and started auto-saging. What do you have against the Abyssal Jaws anyway? Not enough SPIRITUAL LIEGE for you?

Fuff sounds like masive ass pull. There should be more elegant way to tie marines chapter to mythos
And i think that Chaos marines would be better model. Like they worship some minor chaos god like Cthulhu

>>14991100

Wait, are we talking about the Abyssal Jaws or the CSM rival they're supposed to have? If the AJ, well it has nothing to do with the mythos except a couple of references. There isn't a necromonicon, there isn't a Cthulhu and there isn't a R'lyeh.

What you do have is an empire paranoid and backward enough to see a damaged copy of the Call of Cthulhu and think it a non-fiction, heretical text. You also happen to have an ancient, malevolent Old One (which are more frog-like, then squid-like) creature which is said to lurk beneath the oceans of Maresia. Imperial puts one-and-one together and decides that "THIS MUST BE CTH GET THE ABYSSAL ANGELS (what they were called at the time) TOGETHER AND SORT THAT SHIT OUT!"

Wait, are the Ivory Hunters really just Great White Hunters ramped up to 11?

>mfw Chaos Lord Hemingway

>>14991379

Pretty much, yes. Facial hair, country clubs and Carnifex heads mounted on walls.

Just thought... How big ARE the SeaGuard? Regiment wise, I mean? Are we talking in the double-digets? Or crazy Cadian triple-digets?

>>14992635
i doubt they are cadia sized

>>14991513
I'd imagine they'd have one of everything on their walls and then invite their fellows huntsmen over to smoke pipes and sip brandy while comparing their hunts.

>>14993340

Oh god, I'm looking at Lexicanum and lots of Imperial Guard-types seem to come in huge numbers. So... How about a 92?

bump

>>14993974
that works I guess

I'm not terribly familiar with the IG myself

>>14994721

Honestly? I'm not either.

Does anyone want to have a go at making a colour scheme for the Ivory Huntsmen? I'm really struggling to come up with a decent colour scheme for them.

>>14995395
tan and white, though they might use some amount of camoflauge

>>14995411

Would they retain any of the symbolism and shit from the Night Lords? Would they be fairly liberal when it comes to customising armour and so on?

>>14995395
Might as well try.

>>14995439
I see them as looking down upon the Nightlords as gaudy, lowbrow rabble

>>14995543
meh, make the trimming brass and the shin guards camo/some kind of green

Two attempts I had. Don't think I'm really happy with either.

Second.

>>14995878
better, the white is a bit off. go for more of a tan. like the horns on his helmet

>>14996067

This?

bump

>>14996557
that looks good
