The Liber Cluster Early in the 35th Millennium, the High Lords of Terra issued an inordinate number of decrees to expand the Imperium and settle upon uninhabited worlds. The exact reason for this is unclear, though many Imperial scholars point to the Ur-Council of Nova Terra in opposition of the High Lords of Terra as a potential cause. With so much territory lost in such a short time, bitterly fought over in a bloody civil war, the High Lords perhaps looked to untapped locales for much needed resources. In 328.M35, hundreds of settler fleets gathered to depart for a region of space that Imperial records state never had a human presence. Existing below the galactic plane, separated from the galaxy yet close enough to make Warp travel to it theoretically possible, was a cluster of stars, like a dense, miniature galaxy orbiting our own, akin to a satellite moon. Some thought its distance from the horrors of the galaxy would see it free of its worries and troubles, free for humanity to flourish unopposed. With such thoughts in mind, this galactic satellite was dubbed the Liber Cluster. 16 million settlers left for the Liber Cluster in over a dozen waves through a period of two centuries. 16 million human souls, to map hundreds of millions of suns, to catalog billions of worlds, but most importantly to settle upon the 350 worlds theorized by Mechanicum logic-tenders to be habitable within the Cluster. The sheer number of ships needed dwarfed any other fleet of such singular purpose, a size not seen since the heady days of the Great Crusade. Reports came with slowing regularity, as the dispersal and distance made it difficult to keep in contact. The reports painted a grim picture, for the Liber Cluster was not all that the Imperials had hoped it to be. Though accompanied by Imperial Guard regiments escorted by the battleships of the Imperial Navy, military resources the High Lords found difficult to part with, initial contact with the Cluster encountered a strong Ork presence, which stunted the first few waves of settlers. It took sixty years of grievous losses before the human forces could consolidate their beachhead into the Cluster, declare territory for settlement and conduct deeper explorations. It was discovered that where they had entered the Cluster, deemed the best location for its closest proximity to the nearest Imperial muster world, was dead center in a budding Ork kingdom. Though its back was broken, the Ork menace remained at large throughout the Cluster, making progress difficult. They were also not the only xenos threat within the Cluster. Mysterious disappearances and crippling attacks as if from ghosts forced the human settlers to shift their paths of progression on more than one occasion. Though very little evidence of these attacks was left by the aliens, the patterns fit with known Eldar engagements. Other xeno breeds plagued the Cluster, many of which new and unknown to the greater Imperium. Not all were advanced enough to pose an existential threat to the human settlers, but enough were to prevent them from expanding into all corners of the Cluster. The Warp was unusually calm within the Cluster, with no known Warp-borne aberrations witnessed after an entire century, a level of calm not seen in any other Imperial Sector of comparable size. While initially seen as a blessing, a sign that the corrupting touch of the Warp was too weak here to threaten them, it proved instead only to be the calm before the storm. The last known report was received 527.M35. After nearly a decade of silence, the next scheduled settlement fleet had much of its civilian population replaced with Guard personnel. Embarking for the Liber Cluster in 514.M35, it kept in regular contact with the Imperium in its decade-long journey. With the Terminus Crux station missing, its first stop was at Liber Primus, the first settled word of the Liber Cluster and headquarters to its human population. Their hails went unanswered, and radiation readings showed the world was too hot for even an unmanned probe. This finding, along with a declaration of intent to explore unknown readings from the uninhabited gas giant of Liber Septimus, was the last transmission received by the Imperium. The High Lords who reigned at that time were not the same who had so fervently endorsed the settlement of the Liber Cluster. When no further transmissions were received, all details of the Liber Cluster and humanity’s ill-fated attempt at conquering it were swept under the rug and forgotten. For four centuries, the Liber Cluster was dark. No further attempts were made to enter its depths, and nothing from those already lost to it was heard from again. But the Imperium has ever been a mercurial beast, led by High Lords of distinction and infamy. So it was that when a particularly ambitious, daring Council reigned in the final century of the 35th Millennium a great many changes would occur, and old, failed projects dusted off and renewed. The most ambitious of these projects was a Founding of Space Marines. The twenty-first of its kind, and greater in size than any before it save the legendary 2nd Founding. In large part due to its size, a great many other projects were included in this Founding, namely experimentations based upon uncovered relics of gene-tech. Thanks to the inquisitive and studious High Lord Jahleirr Sultin, master of the Administratum and obsessive collector of ancient documents, a small portion of the Founding was earmarked for a return to the Liber Cluster. Over a dozen newborn Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes would not be subjected to the genetic experimentations common to this particular Founding, but would instead be tasked with more effectively taking the distant Cluster in the name of the Emperor. Another grand wave of settlers will depart the known galaxy, accompanied once more by storied regiments of the Imperial Guard and escorted by some of the Imperial Navy’s finest ships of the line. However, with over a dozen Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes spearheading what was being dubbed the Second Liberite Invasion, tasked with remaining behind in the Cluster as a standing force even if successful in bringing the Liber Cluster to the Imperial fold, their success is now deemed assured… But its fate is up to you… Ground Rules Hello, and welcome to the Liber Cluster community project. This project is about building from scratch an entire Imperial Sector, with the twist being that it is a distant, isolated globular cluster of densely packed stars orbiting the Milky Way galaxy. Anything can go into here, from Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes, to regiments of the Emperor’s stoic Imperial Guard, from Sisterhoods to Knight Houses, from Forge Worlds to Death Worlds. Anyone can contribute on anything within the Liber Cluster. Whether it's lore, artwork or creative writing. Multiple people can even contribute on the same specific matters. Remember to be considerate if, for instance, you and another are working on something at the same time, whether it be an Imperial world or a Warband of Traitor Marines. First, the Golden Rules: All normal board rules still apply. We can speak of, and create, Xenos breeds, but only as antagonists to Humanity. Nothing, for instance, from the Xenos perspective or focus. Anyone can contribute to anything, so long as it is new material. No volunteering old work, no making cosmetic changes to fit it in. Anyone can provide comments or criticism, so long as it is constructive and considerate. Everyone is an equal contributor. Any contribution provided to the Liber Cluster community project is the community’s and not the individual’s. Please bear this in mind before contributing. I, Cormac Airt, will for some bloody insane reason be heading this project, at least for the time being. But, I am only here to guide and not to dictate. You don’t need my approval to be a part of anything, nor does any contribution have to go through me before it can be considered truly a part of the project. I will provide the structure and the goal posts to help the project be further fleshed out. I will step in and settle disputes where necessary. However, I will also be contributing myself, as time and inspiration permits. To make sure that there is no mix-up between myself contributing as an equal to the rest of you, and to myself acting to safeguard this project and keep it moving, I will change my font accordingly. If you see something of mine in this font, then you know that whatever it is, goes. Whether it is putting down a disagreement or putting the thread back on track. If anyone feels that I have become tyrannical with this power, they can to turn to the Moderati of this subforum (Aquilanus, Messor and Olisredan), who are the true law in these here parts, whatever my choice of font color. If somebody else takes over in heading the project, then the same thing here goes for them as well. To get the ball rolling, I have laid something of a framework around which others can add onto, or affect and change around a bit, in the second post, which will be edited extensively over time to include newer developments. Remember the golden rule of being considerate, so if there is something that you wish to change, whether it is something I provided or another contributor, start a discussion on it rather than simply making that change. Perhaps some thoughts can be swayed, or a happy middle reached. This isn’t Minecraft, so no going around planting TNT in other people’s houses.

[basicheader'THE LIBER STRATEGIUM'] THE LIBER STRATEGIUM[/basicheader] Brothers and sisters, Liberites and general members of B&C, it's fast coming to a time where we must do battle again. Paintbrushes in one hand, models in the other, we look to the next E Tenebrae Lux with anticipation. This year is the fifth anniversary of the inter-forum competition and, so a little bird tells me, Semper has something a little, um, different in mind. What exactly this is, we will not know until May. Not even I am privy to his plans, I'm afraid. But don't let that deter you. Down here in the Liber we will continue the tradition of taking part but not really competing. We truly will be doing it just for fun. It's all well and good for any of you to declare for another subforum - we will consider that your 'official' pledge. But here you can repost your pledge as an unofficial vow for the Liber, allowing us to see what we could do if we entered as a formal faction. We had some good numbers last year seeing as it was entirely a non-competitive exercise (as you can see in the link); we completed 7390 points worth of models. Out of the total pledges we managed to get a 85.6% completion rate, altering our final total to 6326 points. Not too shabby. Our completion rate was well above the B&C average from last year's ETL of 68.8% and, in fact, was the highest rate of the whole site! Something to be proud of! So, before the gates open once again, I call out to you, denizens of the Liber. You may pledge for other factions on B&C. You may throw in your lot with those you call brother elsewhere. Yet if your heart lies here or maybe mere whim carries you to this place then consider having some fun and vow not for competition, but for the joy of it. There is no grand prize and no bragging rights, there is no wooden spoon and no disgrace for failure. Perhaps, just perhaps, this may be the place where the purest form of the ETL's spirit resides... NOTE: Be advised, this is not yet a call to arms. You'll have to wait until Captain Semper begins this year's ETL in his own specific thread. If any of you who need a hand in knowing what exactly I'm blithering on about, here are links to the last four ETL's: ETL I ETL II ETL III ETL IV (Shout out to CommodusXIII, our unofficial unofficial faction champion last year. Yes, the two unofficials were deliberate. ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The games have begun, brothers and sisters! Let it be shown those who record their vows in the Liber! In chronological order: NovemberXI 3000pts Aquilanus 1187pts WarriorFish 375pts Brother SP 320pts Olis 650pts Scion of Ferrus 844pts Madwolf Shadowmane 75pts Ace Debonair 165pts paulJam 270pts Lord Thørn 185pts Excubitor 610 pts

=][= Last call for the Liber Astartes Campaign =][= Brothers and sisters, I am making an announcement here that we will finally be winding down the Liber Astartes Campaign. My initial thoughts on a hard deadline would be the beginning of this years ETL, although I have been advised to make a reasonable request for those still interested. It has been nearly five years since the start of the Liber Astartes Campaign and progress has slowed to the point where, even with the valiant efforts of LySiMachus and Octavulg, the project is unlikely to ever be complete. In fact, the current goal of finishing the first Act seems almost out of reach. This endeavour has been around longer than I have been a Mod of the Liber, and so it is not unfair to consider it a legacy of the previous Mods and 'generation' of Liberites. Some members we have not seen for years, others have simply moved on to other projects and parts of B&C. A select few, Ace Debonair and Arkangilos primarily come mind (plus other, less frequent brethren), have remained and continue to walk these hallowed halls dispensing valued advice and contributions. And, you know, Aquilanus is one of the Mods now (one of us one of us). Consider this a last call for those of you involved in it: Ace Debonair (Infinity Knights chapter) Aquilanus (Bahltimyr Reavers warband) Arkangilos - fka Telanicus - (Sanguinary Crusaders chapter) Banelord (Dire Wolves chapter) Brother-Captain Alecto (Legio Solemnitas warband) Brother-Sergeant Bohemond (Knights of Paladrea chapter) Brother SP - fka Silver Phoenix - (Sons of Yudea chapter) Calgar101 (Scions of Vengeance chapter) Captain Forcystus (Lions of Radiance chapter) Chapter Master Ignis Domus (Iron Flames chapter) Conn Eremon - fka Cormac Airt - (Emerald Tigers Chapter) Cpt_Reaper - fka 11th Company Dark Master - (Angels of Shadow chapter) Crusader of Dorn (Marines Invictus chapter) Ecritter (Sons of Pyron chapter) Elohimalpha (Lions of Dawn chapter) exetus (Five Suns/Sanguinary Phalanx? chapter) Felwether (Marines Immaculate warband) Ferrata (=][= Presiding Liber Mod =][=) Firenze (Knights Griffon chapter) Gil Galad (Night Scorpions chapter) Jehoel (Angels Unrelenting chapter) Madwolf Shadowmane (Hounds of the Hunt chapter) Master Exorcist (Dragon Claws chapter) Nemesor (Knights Punitor chapter) Octavulg (Steel Dogs chapter) (Stone Hearts chapter) Omega Striker (Adamantium Dragons chapter) PorridgeMeister (Knights Valiant chapter) Predator Joe (Angels of Vengeance chapter) Reyner (Ghost Dragons chapter) Shinzaren (Sons of Lightning chapter) Sigismund Himself (Gryphon Guard chapter) SpecialIssueAmmo (Guardian Eagles chapter) stilettoblade (Hellbenders) strongbow (Knights of the Phoenix chapter) The Normish (Doom Guard chapter) Uprising (Carnivores chapter) XKhalilX (Children of Eternity chapter) The list is not exhaustive so consider any omissions or errors a product of my squishy, fallible brain. Corrections are welcomed. Everyone on that list who can be PM'd will be, and shall be linked to this thread for further discussion. Prompt replies are expected. If anyone from the original project is still interested, speak up in this thread. If no-one wishes to make an immediate commitment to finishing the first Act then the proposed deadline of this years ETL will go ahead and the project will be consigned to the depths. Further discussion in this thread is encouraged, however the deadline will not exceed beyond the end of the ETL. That is all.

"Cowards! I should have nailed your worthless hide to the Bastion you vowed to defend! I will hunt you to the ends of the galaxy! I swear this to Him on Earth!" - the parting exchange between Canoness Superior Sylia Stengovich of the eventual Order of Machaeram and the former Imperial Guard commander, Colonel Buryon J. Mason, latterly known as Buryon the Trecherous. Order name and History[/skullheaderhalf] The Order originates from a small contingent of Sisters of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, based on a world called Machaeram. Dedicated to defending worlds nearby, the Order working in tandem with an Imperial Guard regiment called Gehnum's 87th "The Boomers" a heavy infantry regiment. The Guardsmen were wary of the Order initially, mainly due to their fervour in battle and the measures taken to expose and deal with Heresy. After a decade of fighting, mostly concentrated within the Linna system, both were taken out of rotation to resupply and rest. On the way back to their respective worlds, the Canoness Superior discovered that their allies were Heretics themselves. Turning around to make chase, the Orders' flagship was attacked by a force of Chaos Space Marines. Left crippled and adrift, the Order was unable to pick up the trail of their new quarry. The Order spent many years searching, each world they scoured showed signs that the regiment were looking for a particular artefact, one that would result in the apotheosis of the Colonel by releasing a torrent of Daemons into the material galaxy. They had had no luck, the regiment suffering high casualties. Interrogating a wounded guardsman left behind, they were given the last world the Colonel would search, the Order's own home-world. Horrified that such a thing could exist under their very noses, the Sororitas made haste back to Machaeram, only to find it ablaze, the native populace either dead or turned, willing slaves to the Colonel, who had now taken the moniker of Buryon the Treacherous. On a mountain top, the two fought, their struggle to overcome the other frantic. A landslide made the Colonel fall to the depths below, but the Canoness did not believe he had perished as there were signs of his handiwork on worlds on the outer edges of the Quincy Sector. The Sisters led by Canoness Sylia Stengovitch strove to emulate the feats of the larger Order, ever eager to root out Heresy, ever eager to be acknowledged as equals. The failure to see the corruption of their former allies resulted in being stripped of their heraldry and colours, their deeds struck from record. Forced to wear grey armour and tabards, they were commanded to make a pilgrimage to the distant Shrine World of Romanov II to atone for their foolish pride and to redeem themselves. Their journey took longer than it should have, as they diverted their path following any lead that would bring them closer to the Traitors that brought them low. After twenty years, the Order finally arrived at Romanov II, weary and overstretched. Upon visiting the shrine at the Capitol, Canoness Stengovitch was brought before the Sectors head of the Ecclesiarchy in a private ceremony to determine whether they had truly atoned. The affair was never officially documented, but soon after, the small group was ordered to return, a new determination set in their minds. Armour still dark grey, they now sported green tabards and bore the sigil of a sword. Setting a course, the new Order of Machaeram vowed to destroy the Heretical regiment. The remainder of Machaeram's native population were mostly put to death, their numbers replaced by workers from other worlds nearby. The Sisters' renewed duty has given them an even harder edge, showing no mercy for any transgression against the Emperor. The Order has renewed their vow to end the Heretical Gehnum's 87th "The Boomers" regiments machinations once and for all. Home planet[/skullheaderhalf] Machaeram is primarily an Agri-world, mainly yielding various cereals for the Imperium at large. A small world within the Xeroid system, it's inhabitants are pious and unimaginative, the hard toil in the fields is ambition enough. A yearly tithe of orphaned girls or those who were of age were taken as their due and trained in the Doctrines of the Order to supplement recruitment from the Schola Progenium. The larger inhabited planet, Gehnum was mainly used to muster troops for the Guard and had done so for millennia. The high turnover of recruits had left the planet with a significant dip in population levels, the natives becoming more and more bitter that their destiny was ultimately to die forgotten on a far off battlefield. The seeds of corruption was brought to bear by an unknown instigator, so subtle in their work that the Heresy was not found out until it was too late. Order Founder Sylia Stengovitch was a fierce woman, her pious heart was broken with the knowledge that she has fought along side traitors to the Imperium and Him on Earth. After her Orders' pilgrimage, her fervour became even greater - nothing would stay her hand from destroying that which had brought her Sisters shame and will bring all before her to the flame to accomplish her goal. [skullheaderhalf=206906]Notable Sisters Irene Chang - A Seraphim Superior who, with her biological Sister Reika, were instrumental in rooting out and destroying a Slaaneshi Cult on Eufestus XI Reika Chang - A Seraphim Sister Lisa Vanette - A Celestian Sister who sacrificed her life to save her Canoness.

[skullheaderhalf=206906]Significant battles joined - The battle of Eufestus XI Fighting alongside the Amber Dragons Chapter, the Order destroyed 10,000 Cultists who were ill prepared for the furious assault launched against them. The Cult leader, Amanos the sickened was torn to pieces by Irene Chang with her chainsword Aypeeteya, named after one of the mountain ranges to the north of the Order's Chapel-fortress. - The sacking Mu'Kin The Bahltimyr Reavers were denied their prize of an artifact of Xenos origin that would have defeated the combined force of the Steel Wings' Second Company and a small detachment of Sisters. Swearing vengeance, Rai Lurweiss would escape and attack the Order in transit to the Ermentia Cascade 15 years later.

Good day to you all, sons of Sanguinius. As part of the Liberalia Martiale, I come bringing a thought experiment, mainly to jig some of those old creativity cells in your noggin. Now, as we all know, Blood Angels successor chapters exhibit certain traits, as codified by the various codices dedicated to the Blood Angels. However, in the wide, wide galaxy that is the Imperium, anything can happen. What if these traits exhibited themselves differently? What if you had to represent the Death Company in a totally different way? Perhaps through the lens of a different codex. But which one? Dark Angels? Space Wolves? Vanilla? That choice is up to you. The point to the exercise, as suggested in the title, is to think outside of the box. For example: The Red Sentinels A later founding of Blood Angel stock, the Red Sentinels operate on the border between the Segmentum Solar and the Segmentum Tempestus. The Chapter, known and respected for their monastic ways, have often not only revered Sanguinius as their gene-father, but also as the son of a deity - the God-Emperor. Sanguinala marks the holiest day for the Red Sentinels, held in higher esteem than even the Feast of the Emperor's Ascension. For the Red Sentinels, the Death Company are fielded on bikes and land speeders, to bring swift death to the foes of the Imperium. Sent on long ranging sorties and penetrating strikes alike, it is surprising that those afflicted have enough control to ride the vehicles long enough to make contact - even if many dismount upon contact with the enemy. As you can see, we have a Blood Angels chapter treated like a Dark Angels chapter on the tabletop, and yet they are still nominally Sanguinius' progeny. Now, this is nothing too serious, it doesn't have to be a work of art or a nominee for the Booker prize, just a little mental jiggery pokery that lasts about two paragraphs. Let's see what you got. Have fun.

Liberum Cogitatio Experimenta Hello, and welcome to the Liber Astartes' Thought Experiments! In this thread, we will explore our DIYs in ways designed to challenge and invigorate us. We will explore the concept of a DIY, including its inception, its conclusion, and everything in-between or outside, using periodic exercises that will ask you to think of things you otherwise might not have. You will travel along the infinite lines of 'what if?' and perhaps uncover something new, something hidden, something wonderful. How far you go with these experiments is up to you. Anyone and everyone is invited to participate, whether you already have a DIY, of any kind acceptable under the B&C's rules, if you are interested in creating one, or even if you just feel inspired to let your creative juices flow! I will present various, weekly experiments that we will all tackle. Each of us will select one of our own DIYs with which to answer these experiments. You will post your responses, your thoughts and findings, in this thread, receiving support and C&C from others and collaborating in kind. What you create in this thread does not need to be anything you keep or hold onto. The purpose of these exercises is simply to get you to think along lines you might not otherwise have done so. To visualize your DIY differently than you already have, and perhaps to find something new of worth or value in it. Hopefully, what we do here will provide you with inspiration, either in what you create or because of what you have created. As such, you are encouraged to explore ideas and concepts deliberately contrary to the very basics of what you will have already decided for your DIY. I hope you will have as much fun exploring these concepts as I know I will. If you do update your own articles or other creations with something that arose from within this thread, whether by being inspired by a particular exercise or by enjoying a particular creation of yours, anything at all that originated from this thread really, let us know! We would love to hear a success story, and it lets those in charge see what kind of an impact our threads are having. Now that you've been introduced to what this thread is all about, let's get down to it! ExperimentA Narrative Shift A Hero's Fall A Progenitor's Judgement The Final Days A Breaking Point A Red Alliance A Bond Of Blood A Derivative Original An Unshaken Faith A House Divided A World Burns Of Different Blood A Different Time An Unexpected Battlefield A Sudden Change Where Were You Re-Evaluating Interests A Galaxy of Possibilities New Blood Up to Chance Sharing the Limelight

Brothers and sisters! Welcome to the inaugural Liberalia Martiale! As you all know, the Liber has been a part of B&C for a long time. Almost since the beginning, really. It was decided earlier on this year to make a 'Liber Day' to celebrate the subforum and the members of B&C in general. So, as well as inviting all members of B&C to join us in thanking Kurgan the Lurker for creating this subforum all those years ago, my fellow Mods and I would like to encourage the one thing this hobby and the Liber Astartes absolutely relies upon - creativity. Because of this, Team Liber will be posting up threads both here and across the wider B&C to help foment imagination, including leading by example and entering the Brotherhood of Angels event in the Dark Angels subforum. If any other members of the forums wish to follow and join in, then we fully welcome participation. Incidentally, we know the day falls on St. Patrick's Day. This is more down to coincidence than intention, as we are basing the name of 'Liberalia Martiale' on two Roman festivals on the same day (the Liberalia and the Argonium Martiale). Do we expect everybody to type this name all the time? Not really, no. It is, of course, the formal name but during conversation 'Liber Day' will suffice. For those of you proud to be a member of the Liber, we have a nifty little pip to place in your sig: Remember that creativity will be the watch-word of Liber Day. If you have always wanted to begin writing background on your DIY chapter, then today is the day for it. Want to expand what you have? We're here for you.

What's that banging from the basement? Oh yes, that's right. It's the Liber! Looks like we've been forgotten from the roster this year, brothers and sisters. Now, of course, we could get indignant about it. We could, but we won't. No, what we are going to do is still take part. Now, if you pledge for another forum, then fair enough. That's no problem. Last year we decided to play the mercenaries, so lending our hand to another's cause is not beyond us. But, as and when E Tenebrae Lux number four hits, it would be nice to have the Liber on the scoreboard. Even if we only get the wooden spoon, it's still a result. Just because we are in the basement, doesn't mean we can't make some noise, eh? For those of you who want to know what this ETL business is all about, here's the rules for the past three competitions: ETL I ETL II ETL III So come on Liberites, let's see your war faces! Okay, okay, you can stop now. It hasn't started yet. Anyone interested in having a go?

Greetings, fellow Liberites! Again we celebrate Liberalia Martiale, for today is the 17th of March. Today we may take some time out to revisit our old IA projects and see what can be done, today we make sure that others who have provided their material - grown from their own imagination - do not go unanswered. I would like to encourage all of the Liberites, old and new, to renew their creativity. If any of you so wish, then I would recommend going to Grand Master Belial's Brotherhood of the Angels competition thread here in the Liber and make a pledge to fulfil. I'd also like to stand, and make a toast - which is optional to you, on the other side of that screen - to Kurgan, the Admins and the Liberites of old who have made the subforum what it is today. Mods who've served their time helping others and have long since hung up their melta have also contributed much to what we have now. You, yourselves, also deserve praise. The veterans and the newcomers alike, for sharing your minds and also helping others do the same. I have seen some truly great and characterful chapters during my stay on B&C. Long may it remain this way. Long live the Liber and long live B&C. :wink:
