Our chapters Master Librarian is Lucius Fenix

Epistolary Fenix is a psyker who has great potential. He can equal any master librarian if given enough training and time but his lack of restraint and arrogance made his mentors think of him as a threat more than a fellow battle brother. Because of this he was distrusted by his brothers except you and Chaplain Azakniel who trusted in him and counted him as brother. And for this reason Fenix is loyal to you and Azakniel..... And he is dedicated to prove himself to his new chapter at your side.

Our chapters High Chaplain is Azakniel also known as The Great Teacher.

Azakniel is a chaplain who mends the damaged souls of his brother with not words of zealous priest but with the words of a wise warrior. Since he is 700 years old carrying experience of 600 years of active duty. His presence is something that inspires man and gives them confidence. His will is unshakable as his faith in his brothers. He is also respected for trainning most of the neophtyes to the chapter. He enjoys passing knowledge and wisdom to the young brothers and he is kind to those who needs guidance. His crozius arcanum is two handed resembles a force hammer more than a staff. He also makes us of jump packs in battles. But believing to the importance of adoptice battle tactics he carries with him a bolter and combat knife for his crozius may not be enough....

Corwin Arkath is the chief techmarine of your chapter and also an old friend.

You were in same squad back then when you were both battle brothers. You Arkath and Kaleth were close friends. Arkath have always been a short tempered one. He was logical and pragmatic but also has great skill at crafting and understanding the workings of machinery. Thus he was sent to Mars to become a techmarine. Though he all techpriests complained about his disrespect for rituals and prayers needed to work the machines his mind was a quick and creative one thus making him a capable techmarine.

2nd Company Captain Kaleth

A fellow battle brother and a reliable comrade Kaleth was always a joker. He never let grim nature of his work get to him and always the one who cheered up his comrades. Though his superios complained much about his attitude this also made him loved by his fellow battle-brothers. He is cunning and resourcefull but as a captain his real value lies in his ability to keep his squad morale high, even under the worst circumstances.

1st Company Captain Adeon

Adeon was your second in command when you were sergeant. And after you became a captain he still continued to be a valuable friend and comrade still serving at your side. Sadly he lacks the cunning and creativness to be a good captain and mostly acts according to codex but he makes up these by being extremly loyal. His loyalty to you is compelete and he is ready to risk everything he knew just to serve you.

3rd Company Captain Ancharon

Ancharon is the youngest captain of your newly formed chapter but he is also a great tactical genius. Showing great skill and creativity at leading men he is an excellent leader. He always have a plan and never loses his calm. Though he is somewhat cold and distance himself form the rest of his brothers.

Chief Apothecary Valerion

Valerion have always been more interested in saving lives rather than taking them. Though he knows his responsibilities as a warrior he prefers to fight against maladies and wounds rather than more direct enemies. Knowing his grim duty he is always at the front lines in a battle saving lives of his brothers, for thoese he cant he gives them the emperors mercy...

And you are the chapter master of the CRİMSON SPECTRES. A mighty host of emperors own space marines. You will lead them amongst to starts and guide them to the vitory.... or death.......

You stand knowing your duty. You already equipped your master crafted power armour. A black cape hungs across your back. A female voice resonates through the your private chambers. İts your own servitor.

-My lord. İts nearly time for the concul meeting.......

You nod silently. İts time for the concul meeting but there is still some few seconds you can use?

What now..... Chapter Master?


(BTW i forgot to reedit my name.. İ use The Awesome Emprah only for chapter master quest... To clear up any confusion the anon who posted previous things about your chapter is me.....)

Come on tg? QUEST HAS BEGUN!!!!

self bump. Come on guys where are you?

I look for my copy of the Codex Astartes and proceed to dump waste matter on it, yelling "WHAT NOW ROWBOAT DON'T YOU LIKE WHAT I DO TO YOUR SILLY BOOK? BOO HOO FUCKING GIRLYMAN"

>>16634220

Offer a prayer to the Emperor that we may manage to do his work.

>>16634431

Lets go with that one over 'Shit on the codex'. We can do that better in battle than in...a more literal manner.

You take out a copy of codex astarted from your own personal bookshelf. You look at it. You remember Azakniel saying....... " İt was never meant to be strict set of rules for a how a space marine should live and fight, rather it was a guideline for those who needed advice and insight. The ironic thing is most of the ultramarines adhere the codex strongly they forgot this simple fact."

You put back the copy of codex astartes back to its place.

What now Chapter Master?

>>16634474

I'm going to suggest >>16634431 again. Might as well start with the Emperor's Blessing.

>>16634493

Enter quietly. Not like our chapter is much for fanfare anyway.

>>16634431
>>16634488

You turn to the statue of the emperor which stood in your own personal shrine. Kneeling down before it you enjoy the silence and peace. Then you offer aquick prayer to the emperor then stand up. You should better get to concul meeting.

>>16634518

You push your chambers doors aside and quietly leave. You start walking down through a shadowed hallway. Two terminator who were gaurding your chambers quickly salute you by raising their large two handed black swords.

See if we can make a silent entrance, listening to any talk there before we arrive. Would be nice to know if they have any complaints/comments they are not willing to voice personally.

>>16634538

Salute back.

You walk silently to the strategium. You silenlty wait for a moment before going in.

-İ am telling you Archaron. İts a clear breach of codex.
-İ know Adeon but it would help us at replenishing our numbers more effectively.
-So you suggest us to breach codex...... Nonsense!

İts like two of your captains are on something again .

What now chapter master?

>>16634596

Walk in, nod to the assembled people, politely ask "What would be a violation of codex?"

See if we can get a reputation over time of hearing everything said.

>>16634596
Have both Captains killed. We cannot tolerate open dissent.

SO MANY ELLIPSES, OP.

SO MANY.

Anyway, glad to inspire things. You fellas enjoy yourselves.

rolled 14983 = 14983

Hey OP, thanks for this. It shall be awesome.

>>16634622

As you enter strategium two captain quickly falls silent and everybody assembled there turns to you.

High Chaplain Azakniel
Chief Librarian Fenix
Chief Apothecary Valerion
Chief Teachmarine Arkath
1s,2n and 3rd company captain Adeon,Kaleth and Archaron

You nod at them and walk to your place at the head of the strategium table.

-İts good to see everyone assembled. But before we start this meeting. Archaron, Adeon. Tell me more about this voilation of codex you two were arguing about.

Archaros quickly nods but Adeon seems suprised.

-My lord. As you know we are only have three companies and we need to replenish our numbers. Though we dont have any assignments yet i think we will soon be called for war..... İt would be best for us to be at full strength.... So i suggest that we use scout squads from elite units and turn any initiate who manages to survive the process of recruiting and implantation into a full fledged battle-brother. By using experienced brothers as scouts we will have our scout squads more effective and we will lose less initiates to battle since they will be clad in power armour and heavly equipped.

Says Archaron in a soft voice.

-But thats against everything that codex says about induction system of new battle-brothers.

Adeon objects.

>>16634704

You chapter master dev team are my heroes. İf i can be of any help at lore or writefaggotry pls tell me.

>>16634780

I'm personally leaning to listening there. We are raven guard successors, it would be good to have more skilled stealth troops.

Come on tg. A chapter awaits your command.

>>16634826

Seconding. Better covert ops would be great.

>>16634826
>>16634905

-Though it may be against codex that Archaron suggestion has point. Now lets start the meeting. Arkath?

You say. Chief Techmarine turns to you and nods then opens the holo caster. A map of the sector comes to the screen.

-My lord we have 5 things to deal with.

First is Pyrax. İts efficeny is at minimum due to lack of manufactorums and resources... Also current adeptus mechanicus leader Magos Xarthon is reluctant the take orders from us. And of course there is some intel about a mechanicus inner struggle between Magos Xarthon and Magos Mylitha.....

Second is that sub-sector defense force is really ill-equipped. Discipline is near to non-existent. And they are untrained. They are not ready to stop a gang fight rather than a rebellion or full-scale invasion. Since we rule the sub-sector they serve to us and we should make something about them.

Thirdly We need more Librarians, Apothecaries, Chaplains and Techmarines. We have only three apothecaries, one techmarine, one chaplain and one librarian Valerion, Azakniel, Fenix and myself included.

>>16635079

What do we know about this struggle?

Our next problem is that we have some reports about some strife between the native tribes of agriworld Terran. We should investigate it.

Lastly as Archaron mentioned before we need to replanish our numbers so we need to start recruiting as soon as possible. We are in need for numbers.

Now how should we deal with these my lord?

>>16635079
If we're gonna improve our sector we'll need the resources and income the forge-world can provide. If the current Magos is... reluctant to cooperate, perhaps this upstart he bickers with will be more amicable to our cause. I suggest we make contact with Magos Mylitha and see if he may be more willing to heed us in exchange for support against the current magos.

>>16635114

Magos Mylthia is a she..... But since it doesnt matter for cogboys.... meeeh.

Anyway tg you should discuss more about these problems and i awant to wait for more players ideas. İ am off to bed now. Tomorrow 8:00 or 10:00 will be starting time for next part... Good night...

And lastly.....

PİCK A FUCKİNG NAME FOR TE CHAPTER MASTER!!!!

Played around with a name generator for a bit looking for inspiration. My favorites:

>Tycho Darius
>Lysander Rachmiel
>Argus Balian

And my personal favorite,

>Wagner Benedicteus
(pronounced like the composer)

>>16635469
These seem more like Blood Angel successor names, at least the first two. A combination of a(n amusingly appropriate) random name generator and a quick lexicanum search:
>Kiavahr Croaw.

>>16634060
>Sadly he lacks the cunning and creativness to be a good captain and mostly acts according to codex
>>>16634780
>but Adeon seems suprised.

Oh dear. How did this guy make Captain of the First Company... I could see it in Ultramarines or their successors, but for our chapter... Well.

Scout Varen's writefag and Crimson Spectre's name and colour scheme giver is BACK BITCHES.

And because I made him up . . . He IS the Chapter Master. The writefagging was scenes of his past.

>>16636491

Maybe Adeon could be more of an inspirer, or morale booster, than a tactical commander.

He doesn't think of ways to beat the enemy easier, but what he does makes his warriors fight better and harder.

He got his position by stint of his experience and because of the loyalty he inspires in his men.

1. First of all, what reason does he have for being reluctant to listen to us? Is it something small and reasonable, or is it petty, maybe even downright rebellious? If it's the former, then we should stick with Xarthon. Better the devil you know. If it's the latter, then fuck Xarthon, and let's get to talking with this Mylitha lass. If push comes to shove, we could intervene, but it would have to be super damn covert and it might even be best to not even let the very horse we're betting on know.

2. We have scout sergeants, and we have initiates who need to be trained. We also have a sub-sector of low discipline and poor training. I say we take down two birds with one stone. Send out our scouts and initiates to each world and begin training maneuvers. We will commence a series of wargames across the sub-sector pitting the defense forces against our own recruits. Our recruits will get the chance to practice their skills, and the mortals will learn from our example and their own failure. Use of lethal force is approved.

3. Not sure what we can do for this, specifically. But I suppose we can give those we have more leeway amongst our recruits, but we need their recruiting to be parallel with the expansion of our Chapter's forces. We only need so many for a small force. Perhaps we can make it so that it's two to three recruits for each auxiliary role per company.

4. Send in a small scout force like those described in Problem #2, but with more stealth and less fanfare. Find out what's going on before making their presence known.

5. The codex might not be the end-all, be-all of all things war, but it is a damn good counselor to have. While a focus on veteran, experienced scouts (similar in aspect to the Space Wolves I suppose) could be a major asset for us, we should be wary of rushing the process for creating and introducing more battle-brothers. As a Raven Guard successor, we should be especially aware of the problems such haste can cause. While the idea has merit, in this case the Codex provides the more useful advise.

>>16637373
>>16637367
2nd this fellow. Save that the scout teams be give vetren leaders (for each squad) so that the newbies have some one to learn from. (We might all ready be doing this and if's that's the case carry on)

>>16636491
Also I like this name

>>16639737

It's what I meant by scout sergeants, but it doesn't hurt to clarify.

I want to ask the other good players if we want to develop a theme to our chapter?

Such As: space combat, physics, or heavy armor.

I think a good specialty is to focus on snipping and guerilla warfare; the general plan would be to infiltrate enemy lines, fuck up their supply lines and command, then let allied guard or other chapter (or even our own armor division) steamroll the weakened foes.

I like this plan as it's simple to set up, effective against nearly everything (necrons might be trouble), and a great way to collect soft (alliances, debts of honer) power.

PS, This tactic is also flexible enough to synergies well with nearly any other specialty we choose to devolve, keeping us from shooting ourselves in the foot.

>>16635188

Considering the unlikelihood of us being in the same timezone, could you instead say "X hours from now" instead of "by X" from now on?

>>16640280

That is similar to what we've already been talking about, though adding in additional forces is new. Not sure how often we'd need to do that, though. More than likely it'll be covert operations behind enemy lines with our own forces arrayed to take advantage of it rather than allied guard or another Chapter.

for the expansion of our reclusiam (chaplains) we should find the most arrogant, undevout and downright asshole recruit/brothers and send them on a duo mission (two brothers or scouts) to perform a task and learn about themselves and if they are found worthy (surviving) they'll have learned their faith

>>16640280
I believe snipping and guerilla warfare are rather...unmanly. However, it is an excellent proposition.

My counterproposal would be an emphasis on two things. Guerilla warfare-tactics, as you suggested (including resource gathering [recruiting troops from locals and giving training] and etc.) to the point that deploying a single squad to a relatively weak planet would be sufficient to negate its combat potential. Also, know thine enemy know thineself. Our marines would also known every trick for anti-guerilla warfare, so at some point we could teach our defense forces and they'd be able to effectively destroy any cultist uprisings we might get.

Also though, we're a goddamn space marine chapter and furthermore we're from the Raven Guard. While the guerilla warfare skillset should certainly exist, the emphasis should be upon being able to completely annihilate a foe stealthily and speedily. Lightning nighttime assaults upon unsuspecting foes. Sieges are our antithesis. This sort of emphasis would also allow for our forces to deal with more stuff than usual, as it'd take a matter of hours for a company to deal with a problem and move on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_and_awe

>Rhanda is the final world in the sub-sector. She is our secret homeworld which's existence is known only to us..... She is a shadow planet. Her atmosphere surrounded by black gas clouds which absorb all light instead of reflecting it or letting it reach the surface thus making Rhanda invisible from outside.
>Her atmosphere surrounded by black gas clouds which absorb all light instead of reflecting it or letting it reach the surface thus making Rhanda invisible from outside.
>planet... invisible from outside.
WHAT.jpg

>>16640329
I included that for two reasons:
- To improve the survivability of our own marines.
If we have someone else attacking their face, then the enemy is less likely to devote their manpower to take down the disturbances behind his lines.
- Further a very close relationship with the guard and our PDF, allows us to draw upon greater effective fighting force with out flagrantly breaking codex and drawing the inquisition on us.

what do you guys think of the chaplain idea? I think it will breed great brotherhood and a link between the candidates that (like a space wolfs pack) keep them watching each others backs and knowing no matter what they have they eyes of another watching over them

>>16640458

I think he means the planet's surface, not the entire world itself.

>>16640461

I'm still meh about it, but only as something frequent. Rare occasions, sure.

>>16640437

This is good stuff. Being a sniper fan myself, I'd like to still have them implemented somehow.

>>16640437
Good point.
I especially like the idea to training the PDF in our combat zones. Thereby creating a pool from which to draw allies for joint campaigns.

I argue that Shock and awe are not the most efficient use for our (likely to be always) limited resources.

In the spirit of compromise I suggest that create a vehicle company (or two or three) designed for sudden assault. As this allows us to do some campaigns on our own and preserves some tactual flexibility for unforeseen circumstances, but leaves our guerilla focus diluted.

>>16640711
> diluted
I ment undiluted

bump

OKAY. İ am back TG..... Sooner than expected. So new thread or continue from here. Your choiice......


And of course.... Pls tell..... Did you pick a name for the chapter master?

COME ON GUYS.... Gather up...

İ will be lurking around for someone to show up and maybeeeeeeee bump 2 more......

>>16641980
I have no idea what I'm jumping in but I'll jump in anyways.
Crimson Spectres Chapter Master:
Noctus Hidalgo.

>>16642005

You are jumping into a quest where you play the chapter master of crimson spectres. Alll important info are at the start of the thread. Other than that i want a consensus for the name of chapter master.....

Suggestions are

Varren???
Kiavahr Croaw
Noctus Hidalgo

I approve Archaron suggestion. Fuck the codex astartes man. Also i suggest something. Taking extra recruiting companies.

Recruiting among the PDF would be great, as you could discipline the army and take great numbers of recruits. But do we have enough geneseed right now for something like that?.

Also, i suggest picking the marines of the elite that don't fit as scouts, and sending them to the forgeworld to train under Corwin, at the same time they improve the industry and put the planet under our control.

>>16642033

I like Noctus Hidalgo

>>16640711
If we want numbers we could have those responsible for training PDF look out for exceptional warriors who could be put to use as elite commando units to work alongside our forces?

>>16641876
There hasn't been any consensus on names, we didn't really focus on it. I guess either
>Kiavahr Croaw (someone else seconded it)
or
>Varen ??? (Writefaggotry)
Or
Noctus Hidalgo (also been seconded)

Anyways, throwing my support to the actions from >>16637367 though I'm not sure about >Use of lethal force is approved.
I think that particular bit might not be a good idea. We're low enough on numbers as-is.

Also:
>>16642047
>Recruiting among the PDF would be great, as you could discipline the army and take great numbers of recruits.
As great as this would be, this would probably reduce the already-poor performance of the army (taking the best soldiers), and
>But do we have enough geneseed right now for something like that?
Unfortunately, most likely not, since Raven Guard successors.

And yes, we should send someone to investigate those tribes, maybe something to get some of the battle brothers armoured as scouts to go do to test their capabilities?

Oh, another thing, can we put initiates as tactical marines? IIRC, they won't have the Black Carapace, so can't wear power armour. Bummer.

>>16642060
mentor type groups? akin to mentor chapter or what they did in the ultramarines book with the necrons im guessing.

could have a few marines put in charge of like 50 guardsmen each. or if not marines, then have some scouts act as leaders for them...assuming the scouts have the mental faculties for it already.

300 marines eh? We need to recruit more worlds. Maybe after we bulk up our forces, we need to go into a small skirmish and make a name for ourselves (in hopes that we get another world under our wing).

>>16642078

You can skip whole serving as scout part for intiates and slap black caraprace as soon as possible then use them as battle brothers and that was Archaron suggesting....

By doing that your initiates will have higher chances surviving while gaining experience and scout squads would be formed from experienced warriors....

>>16642078
here's an alternative then.

we take the best regiment of pdf with us to a few battles to toughen them and show them what wars like. they can act as ground holders flank protectors or whatnot for us. in return whoever survives to go home will be very valuable teachers/backbone for the less experienced pdf who haven never been off-world.

You turn to Argath.

-What can you tell me about this Xarthon?

Argath stands silent for a moment.

-He is overzealous and arrogant. He likes to be in charge of the things and he fears the loss of control.... He has been stalling our attempts at establishing supply schedules and preventing us from supllying our chapter effectively.... Though he is experienced i advice that we shouldnt trust him.

-So what can you tell me about this strife between tribes of Tarren....

-We dont know much though they seem to be bothering the planetary governor and also their fights damaging the income which comes from animal herding and farming....... İts not something big at the moment but we should intervene before it gets worse.

-So any suggestions brothers?

-Well since i am the chief techmarine i volunteer to go to Pyrax and meet with Magos Xarthon and Magos Mylthia and get things right. İ also ask for a squad of terminators to accompany me if you decide to send me in........

-Anything else?

Azakniel stands up.

-İ may be usefull at solving the situation at Tarren since i was planning a recruitment sweep for Tarren....

Azakniel nods as Argath signals te holo caster. İt now shows the roosted of your forces.....

-My lord you can deal with any of these matters two personally..... And you i advice you to always assign some token forces to Brother-Chaplain Azakniel as well.....

What now Chapter Masters?

>>16642185
Maybe we could do that.

Ah, fuck, I was going to suggest "encouraging" whoever serves as governor for each planet to raise an actual regiment or two for defensive purposes, but between Agri-world, fledgling forge world that will need more workers, and secret world that we don't want on record, that seems like a bad idea.
I guess we should just stick to current pdf force size, expanding as we get spare population, and make sure they are drilled to very high standards, with plenty of experience in wargames and such, before starting them out in actions to increase their actual combat experience, preferably starting with small actions and working up to harder ones as they grow more proficient, in such a way as to minimise casualties.

Hopefully, we can get the forge world up and running reasonably soon, and keep good relations with the mechanicus, giving us good gear for us and the pdf forces, and decent skitarii forces to defend the forgeworld, meaning less of a worry for us. More techmarines wouldn't hurt, either.

Speaking of which, we should get our techmarine to mark out potential marines to go get some techmarine training, and the same for the apothecaries. Getting some closer bonds with the Mechanicus, including the biologis, would be great.

>>16642243

Well you guys already found great solutions. Now to apply them. İt would be best you reach a consensus on the method also........

İ am still waiting for a good chapter master name....

So far suggestions are

Varren???
Kiavahr Croaw
Noctus Hidalgo

>>16642230
start whipping the pdf with pain-whips and laugh maniacally.

the process might highlight some potential recruits

>>16642278

Seriously? İ mean you are a chapter master for the dragons sake not some dark eldar bitch......

>>16642262
just 'Veles'

now you have 4 to pick from

Self bump.... İts sure lags like hell....

>>16642278

Lets pass on that option. Be tough but fair. Push them as hard as you can feasibly push people like them but no further. We are not going to coddle them but at the same time we do accept human limits exist.

Train the PDF in nonconventional tactics, bio/chemical warfare, and misdirection. Do so in a stern but fair manner.

>>16642278
Hey now, we're Raven Guard offspring, not Imperial Fists.

>Also, Captcha, I may love morrowind but giving me daedric characters is cheating.

Okay so can tell me your final decision on how to deal with 5 problems....

Who to send? What actions should be taken? Will you use token forces? etc....

>>16642357

Azakniel to aid/train the PDF along with some of the brothers who show skill in stealth+a couple of terminator bodyguards, as he can't train the PDF alone and he's too valuable to risk alone.

Have them focus first on discipline and then on teaching them the honourable way of 'Asymmetrical Warfare'

Have him keep his eyes out for anyone with potential to maybe be a recruit.

Send Azakniel + Terminators to the mechanicus. They likely won't respect a non-tech marine.

Send Ancharon + some assault marines to deal with the tribes, work out why they are feuding, and if need be, beat some sense into their leaders.

Not sure about the other issues.

self bump.

>>16642357
I have a plan coming along, but first, how many scouts do we have? It's not listed with the force allocation at the start. Similar question for ships, thunderhawks, drop pods, and all that stuff. Oh, and do we have any dreadnaughts, occupied or not?

>>16642397

We dont have any scout squads.....

>>16642391

You mean Agrath? Agrath is the techmarine.

>>16642435

Yeah, I meant him. Stupid wireless keyboard sometimes leads to copying and pasting not working and I didn't double check.

>>16642397

We have

1 battle barge (yet to be named)
2 strike cruisers(yet to be named)
4 shadowhawk(customized thunderhawk with better steath and preciosion missile strike options.)
1 stormbird

I vote on accepting the 'Swap Scouts to elite troops, tactical to newbies'

We have three unoccupied dreadnoughts.

Okay waiting for last action post then advancing this shit. So if anyone wishes to oppose its time..

>>16642471
Plan incoming.

>>16642435
Er, I meant initiates, sorry.

As for getting more recruits, we have the PDF and the local tribes. The marines sent there should watch for those with any real potential.

So any bright ideas yet?

WELP. For the Forge world, we should send Akarth, obviously, and I suggest we go ourself too (be useful to get some hands-on experience with the mechanicus and, quite frankly, if worst comes to worst he's more important to the chapters survival than us, being our only techmarine if I've interpreted things right). Take an honour guard with us to the planet itself, not small exactly but no more than protocol would dictate (I'm not sure how many this would be), but have enough marines standing by on the ship we take (I'd say just a strike cruiser) to come to a total of 50 marines when the honour guard are counted, with a 3:1:1 split of Tactical, Assualt and Devestator marines. Just in case this little kerfuffle is more than we thought, y'know?

For Tarren, we should send Azakniel, with say 2 squads of assualt marines, 2 squads of tacs, a squad of devestators, some guys on bikes (say, 5 of them), and our librarian to screen for potential in the prospective initiates, not to mention possible heresy in the populace. That should be more than enough to deal with anything short of a warp portal and CHAOS!, so we should be fine there. Have him deal with whatever the problem is, then conduct the recruitment sweep.

As for Ancharon, have him draw up a revised roster for the initiate/tactical marine switch, with the assistance of Kaleth who should know who will work well together and what-not, and then work on plans for training the pdf forces.

The Apothecaries need to suggest any brothers they think would be suitable for apothecary training, as do our chaplain and techmarine for their respective disciplines, which they can do on the way to the planets they are being sent to.

Also, get mr slow-but-loyal to have a look-out for anything of note happening in the surrounding regions, and leave him temporarily in command in our absence.

Here Advanced...

>>16642601

You give out your orders in confident tone. Argath nods as you use the control panel on your seat to assign forces for the missions.

You and Argath take 20 tactical marine, 8 terminator marine and reserve force of 10 devastator and 10 assault marine with you. Also another two terminator who you pick from your personal guard will be accompanying you.

You assign Azakniel another 20 tactical and 10 assault marine plus another couple of honor guard terminators. Also you attach Fenix to his command to help him.

-That will be all brothers. May Emperor watch over us all.

All concul members salute you then start leaving the strategium. Argath goes to docking platform to ready a shadowhawk for you and Azakniel and calls strike cruisers. Azakniel goes to inspect his battle-brothers and Fenix goes with him. Your Captains and Chief Apothecary goes back to their respectfull duties....

You are now alone in the strategium except the 4 honor guard terminators who are standing silent, their signature two handed black power swords in their hands. You remember 10 of your terminators are elite veterans who are the best of your chapters warriors and you have yet to give them a proper name like all chapters do.... Though its not that urgent... Also you know that you have at least 20 minutes before everything is prepared for your mission.

What now chapter masters?

self bump. Guys.... Where are you?

Anyways, should we send the mechanicum a message we are coming, or just sort of pop up besides them and say "OHAI SHIFTY MARINES HERE DEFINATELY NOT GOING TO POP UP WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT DON'T BE HERETEKS NOW?" Well, not really, but you know what I mean. Just sort of a reminder we're not known for being secretive for a reason, and maybe they should co-operate with the Emperors Most Holy Adeptus Astartes.

>>16642929

İts up to you. You can just show out from nowhere and scare the shit out of them or do this by the book.

By the way can you think something more badass for these guys?

I say we embrace the faith of the Ecclesiarchy.

>>16642946
Send a message but have it arrive only moments before we do so they are still in 'Oh crap, marines! Everyone hide the heresy' mode. Or whatever mechanicus people do when they know marines are turning up.

Basicly: Don't leave them with the excuse to ignore us that 'You never sent a message' but don't give them any time to prepare either.

>>16642948
Well, we started with a prayer to the Emperor, we are looking pretty faithful to start.

>>16642948

You sure you want that. Cause you know... how hard you try sororitas are pedos....

But seriously though. Being faithfull is not bad but going ecclesiarchy mode on will be pretty boring..

>>16642984
Space Marine Chapters rarely see each other, and our chapter being faithful would increase relations with the Ecclesiarchy and make us seem more loyal in the eyes of the Inquisition

>>16642984

Not like you can't have cool faithful chapters. You don't have to be stupid and faithful. Nothing in the Ecclessiarchy book of rules says 'No being a sneaky bastard'.

>>16643004

Well its your choice but i warn you it ends like black templars........ Not good.... İf you are going to be Ecclessiarchy mode on then becarefull to not lose your open minset..... Fanaticism is bad.

>>16643036

Not every faithful chapter goes full retard like the Black Templars. The Fire Angels are smart, if with more of a preference for 'new, understood' tech over old relics.

>>16643036
Are not Space Marines already fanatics?

>>16643036
>Fanaticism is bad.

>>16642946
I was more asking what everyone else thought, really.

>>16642965
This sounds like a plan.

>>16642948
No support for that here. Faithful to the Emperor, yes. Full-blown Ecclesiarchy mode, no. Hell, I can't think of any chapters off the top of my head that do that. I don't think even the Black Templars actually worship him like that.
Not that I think increasing our favour with the inquisition is necessarily a bad thing, but there are better ways to do it than that (Deathwatch veterans, for instance, would be very useful to the chapter).
And I'd really, /really/ like to see better AdMech relations. Maybe not with this arsehol, though.

Btw, Emprah, if we die, will the quest end, or will we switch to our replacement?

>>16643073

Fire Angels have been mentioned. They Bro around with Salamanders and Sisters of Battle and like technology they get instead of hoping the old relics work.

>>16643073

Chapter master dies....... Next one in the line gets command and you switch to him..... Whole chatpter gets wiped out except on marine you have choice of controlling that marine and rebuilding the chapter....
Got wiped down compeletly........

Restart>New Game>Create New Chapter

Of course you can decide the heir to the chapter master.

So yeah, send message, batman out of nowhere a few mins after it arrives, be faithful but not full retard like black templars. Sounds good to me.

İmportant nore. Your battle style, mindset, tactics, even your chapters tradition will make some chapters bro it up with you while others will go FULL RAGE MODE ON on you.

You march down the hallway leading down the docking platform. Docking platform is an open space. You look up to the black sky. İt would have been pitch black everywhere if it hadnt been for lightsources you set up around. You then turn your attention to Argath who is waiting for you on the platform. You see a shadowhawk behind him. As you approach he salutes you.

-My lord. Brother-Chaplain Azaknial have already set out for his mission. He took Strike Cruiser Revandare. Also Strike Cruiser Shadow Hunter is waitng for us in the orbit. Shall we proceed my lord?

You nod at Agath and walk up to the shadowhawk...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As shadowhawk touches the ground you get ready to disembark. At your back Argath and 10 terminators marines (2 veteran) stands ready. Also another shadowhawk will deliver 20 tactical marines after you but you dont think you will need them. As the hatch opens you march out and get the glimpse of Pyrax. İts really nothing impressive. Though you are at the inner circle of the capital city you know that the rest of the city is crumbling....... Living standards are untolarable....... Order is barely sustained by local troops and you know the current leaders are at their own political games rather than trying to improve the situation. As you march out from your shadowhawk a hooded thin figure greets you. You notice that she is Magos Mylthia. She greets you with respectfull bow and a smile... an odd thing for a Magos of mechanicus.

-Greetings, my lord. What brings you here?

-You know very well what brings me here Magos. Where is Xarthon.

After a soft chuckle she says to you

-Well he is probably leaking oil from his lower part because of your unexpected visit. But to be serious.... He is waiting you at concul chambers with the most of logia assembled. He is very unhappy though.

-Lead me to him.

-As you wish my lord.......

>12 bikes

Disregard other vehicles, acquire many more bikes. Like, an unreasonable number of bikes. AT LEAST one per marine.


Also, let's try and make it so our geneseed becomes slightly corrupted, to better let us live on our home planet. Fur to keep warm, ears to hear better, and other shit.


Biker Marines From Rhanda!

>>16643468

Matt FUCKİNG WARD!!!!! GET OUT FROM MAH QUEST!!!! YOU UNHOLY DAEMON!!

>>16643468
You sick fuck. Mice, really?

I mean, I could possibly understand wanting to see a chapter of ferret-marines (lets see you try to put /those/ down your pants, mr creepy ferret guy! Ahahaha!), but mice? Bah.

>>16643438

Be polite and respectful to the magus. We need at least one of the two on our side.

>>16643605

Magos Mylthia leads you to the the concul chambers. He then stops in front of a gate then steps aside you signing you to go in.

-They are waiting for you my lord. Becarefull.

You nod at Xarthon and push the doors to the sides entering the chambers. First thing you see is Magos Xarthon seating on the place of Magos Primus. Around his seat are 9 platforms lined up in a circular shape. On these platforms the Logia of the Pyrax are standing. The second ranking mechanicus agent after Magos Xarthon and Magos Mylthia. Xarthon turns to you as he registers your presence.

-Well, well.... What do we owe the pleasure of your visit Space Marine?

Your honor guard lines up behind you as Argath marches to your side. Though Skitaari guarding the chambers dont move the personal Skitaari guards of Xarthon who were standing silent at his sides look at your honor guard.

What now Chapter Master?

This thread is advancing so slowly. COME ON TG.... MAN UP!!

Self bump

Some Land Speeder's could work well for our scout specilisation

Sweet, it's still going. I'll write up my responses in a moment.

Okay, so as far the Magos situation goes, I want to point out that the fembot was rather respectful. I'm going to assume it wasn't mocking or sarcastic, but she seemed like someone we could get along with.

Xarthon on the other hand, is openly disrespectful, and I say we call attention to that. But, we should still listen and try to talk civilly.

Here's my idea: Should the talks show signs of degenerating, offer to take a short recess while you, I'unno take a transmission or something. Make up an excuse. Find Myth . . . Myst . . . the fembot. Give her a what if scenario where she is in charge, asking her questions about the relations between her and the astartes should she be in charge, that sort of thing. Should that go favorably . . . Offer the job. She must have skitarii loyal to her and her alone. Have her wait for our signal. We will go for the skitarii while she and her forces take out Xarthon. I say it that way because it might be best if it isn't us who lands the killing blow, politically.

Anyone opposing this or seconding this?

>>16644217
Coup d'état go go go

but yeah we need some speeders

You have never been person who showed anger or fury openly. You anger ussualy manifested itself as cold and chilling. And it was a terrfying thing to behold. Cold aner burning in your eyes you look up to Magos.

-Your disobedience and incompetence is why i am here Xarthon. İ tolarated your actions so far. But not anymore. You either obey me or perish.

-YOU DONT COMMAND ME SPACE MARİNE!!!!!

-İ do actually. My authority as Ruler of sub-sector Archais is approved by Emperor and accepted by high lords of terra.

-BLASPHEMEY!!!! İ SERVE NO ONE BUT THE MACHİNE GOD! AND YOUR LİES MEAN NOTHİNG TO ME!!! NOW BEGONE FROM MY SİGHT YOU CHARLATAN!!!

-And that was your last mistake. AS THE RULER OF THİS SUB-SECTOR İ REMOVE YOU FROM YOUR SEAT AS MAGOS PRİMUS AND EXİLE YOU FROM MY SEB-SECTOR!!!

And just like that the chamber room was thrown into disarray. Logia were split into groups between themselves. Some siding with you. Other siding with Xarthon. Accusations flew across the room as you look the Xarthon in the eye.

-YOU DONT HAVE AUTHORİTY OVER ME SPACE MARİNE!!! İ ONLY TAKE ORDERS FROM ADEPTUS MECHANİCUS. İ.......

Then his eyes suddenly trail off to the Magos Mylthia who has been standing at your back.

-İ see now. That bitch convinced you, didnt she? What did she offer you? Maybe the secrets of our order... or maybe...

-Choose your next words wisely Magos for my patience is at its limit....

>>16644730

We won't lay a hand on him unless he strikes first. Keep our temper in control and let his overemotional display destroy him without our help.

>>16644730

Oh shit, son. You feeling it?

İ thought maybe Xarthon is bit too khornate for a Magos but meeeh......

BTW i need to remind you....
Unless you do some serious anti-emperor shit your word is law in the sub-sector archais.

>>16644758

Seconding this.

We give him the opportunity to simply go into exile. But let it be known that there is no way out of that exile. He can accept it, or he can fight it. If he chooses to fight it, then he'll let his true colors show.

I also want to say that, once this is all over, let the fembot know that such is the fate of all who would oppose us. Let's not outright threaten her to stay loyal, but let her know that if she chooses the same path, the same consequences will apply.

>>16644794

Thus i shall rename Magos Mylthia as FEMBOT!!!

Seriously since i dont have my tablet now can we have some drawfag come here and help us?

>>16644844

I wish I could. I would love if I could. I'm not even much of a writefag, since that Scout Varen piece was the first I ever did for /tg/.

And keep using fembot's real name. Maybe it'll finally get through my skull and I'll remember it.

Self bump. BTW if noone whishes to continue i will end this for today..

>>16644997

'You will hardly help your position by impugning a fellow servant of the Emperor. Nor will you gain credit by denying that your incompetence has hampered our efforts to excel in His service.

'I am not here to participate in any struggle, but to pass judgement by virtue of my authority in this sub-sector. You will stand down and obey my orders, or force me to reveal what stands behind that authority. Have I made myself clear?'

>>16644997

Quick question, what timezone are you in?

If you want to call it quits for today, go on ahead. Myself, I'm going to be getting something to eat now anyways, but I intended to come back. Probably keep the thread up and refresh it every now and then. If someone else posts we can discuss plans of action until you get back

>>16644997

Also, may I ask - what is the position of our forces right now? Just so we can give orders to make sure that if push comes to shove, we'll do what we do best.

>>16645047

İ am living in turkey (dont which timezone that equals) but time on the posts suit me just one. And the reason i want to call quits for the day is lack of interest.

>>16645102

Well our 10 man termimator squad (2 veteran termi) is lined behind us and of course fembots own skitaari is close by. Also we can call upon tactical squads but assault and devas squads which we keep in reserve would not arrive in time if push comes to shove.

Well guess its over for today.... Okay TG may work is done here for now. See you tomorrow at 14:00 by 4chan time.

It might be too late for this since we've already progressed, but would you mind if we positioned our forces?

My thinking is that when we return from our recess we only bring a single 5 man squad of Terminators, tasked as our bodyguards.

The others we position outside waiting for a signal like the fembot's forces, only with the orders to teleport in. If a battle breaks out, I want them to be focusing on me and my bodyguard so that when the other half appears out of nowhere behind them it takes them by surprise.

Chapter Master and bodyguards is the anvil that the newly teleported terminators hammer the enemy onto.

just found this off on suptg

looks like game is over today but here's my two cents on marine colors

pic related, i prefer it only because it can be done in dow 1 and 2.
