-Investiture-
All titles and Knights are given to a member of the House (who may then distribute them as necessary) chosen by the current member of the House.

We care a lot about family, and would maybe even remove our own knights from frontlines, just to help a brother in danger.

1d10 for house flaw.

>>47167460
>>47167318

Did we ever decide what our hero did to earn his herodom? I don't think OP ever posted results.
>>
>>47169240
Sorry.
>>
>>47169212
well, uhhhh, what if our weird cult believes he was reincarnated repeatedly into the same knightly house?
>>
>>47169314
Like an Eldar exarch?

Heresy.
>>
>>47169240
also if we are going to keep desert i have two things to say: first a part of our insignia be pic related, and that the next roll is house hierarchy, which is on a 1d10

>>47169299

>>47170329
Now all we need is:

>>47170404
Colors are lapis blue with bronze/gold highlights

I'm pushing for House Addams, because we're creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky, altogether ooky.

Just for clarity, I don't care if they aren't called House Addams, it was just the first thing that sprang to mind upon seeing that we are tight-knit family of Knights with strange customs and stealth tactics.

I was thinking more of a sandy yellow, in honor of our homeworld.

I can tell that one of three things are happening. Either everyone fucked off the second that we finished rolling, Everyone is writing some absolutely massive, or everyone is waiting on each other to make something.

To the ones that are stil on this thread, please tell each other what you're doing! on another note I'm going to sleep, I expect great things from you anons! don't fail me now!

So a bit like this? No sphinx emblem

>>47171448
I'm typing as it comes:
So we're a tight-knit Knight family, coming from a barren desert world and possessing several star systems. We're not really into laws and rules, but the Administratum (who delegated one of its member only to take care of our worlds) likes us, probably because we don't usually question orders and follow them to a T. Except when a family member is in danger.
Although we officially serve the AdMech, we often turn to the light of the Emperor, mostly because we believe in the superiority of the human body and mind over the machine. A belief coming from the most ancient times of our family: we always believed in reincarnation and there are several myths telling of appearances of our beloved ancestors during glorious battles, many years after their death, coming back to protect their offspring.
Our home-world is a sanctuary on which only the family and a few chosen ones are authorized to set foot. It is also where we store all of our currently unused Knight armours, which were left there and more or less forgotten by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Once every ten years, our family reunites on its world to celebrate our fallen brothers and sisters and hunt the giant sandshark, a beast so gigantic only knight-sized opponents can rivalize with it.
We are well-known for being able to hide our armours in almost any type of terrain, and we favor the elimination of big and impressive targets. We consider the delibarate use of glorious Knights against feeble infantry and light vehicles to be dishonorable.

Gives me a house Atreides feel.

>We are well-known for being able to hide our armours in almost any type of terrain, and we favor the elimination of big and impressive targets. We consider the delibarate use of glorious Knights against feeble infantry and light vehicles to be dishonorable.

Actually a reasonable tactic when the main weapon of our main knight variant is a melta-gun x 100. We would need to sneak close and focus on the larger vehicles and creatures.

>house Atreides
I don't know what it is but I like that picture. So I'm gonna say yes.

>what I keep thinking when I read this thread

It's the protagonists noble house of origin from Frank Heberts "Dune." I would recommend it along with starship troopers and the foundation trilogy as the three of them provide at least 90% of the ideas that 40k draws from and at least 50% that the rest of science fiction does.

>>47172478
You're adorable anon.

So theme ideas we have for our knightly house.
1. Martial arts clan. >>47167997
2. Addams Family. >>47168806
3. Sphinx themed? >>47169378
4. House Atreides >>47172277

Any I missed? Any additional? any votes?
>>
>>47172610

For the record, i'm in favor of of combining options 2, 3 and 4. A house of wildly divergent "creepy kooky" character types like said pic >>47172277. The act noble but use reasonable and sneaky tactics drawn from the native people of the planet the not!fremen . Also lots of sphinx imagery.

We could even do a mild dune parody if we wanted.
