So you want to hear a story eh? Well pass me the bottle of sacra and sit down But stop me if this sounds familiar Long ago, before the flag of unity flew over even Mother Terra. The Emperor, blessed be his name, forged 20 beings, titans of flesh and blood, superhuman beyond even the Space Marine Legions as they are beyond you or I, the Primarchs. Each Primarch was shaped with a purpose as clear as a mountain spring and a destiny as heavy as a smith’s anvil. Even as the Emperor set about his great plan, of which the Primarchs were but a single, if crucial part, the dark gods of Chaos, jealous and spiteful created a wicked tempest that tore through the Emperor’s citadel itself, snatching the infant Primarchs and hurling them like wayward embers across the scattered worlds of the galaxy, leaving the Emperor to forge his children's genetic gifts into twenty legions made in their primarchs image and head to the stars seeking unification and reunion. And on one of twenty different worlds, simple folk whose names have been lost to history saw a shooting star fall to earth and set off to investigate it. They found it wasn’t a meteor but a metal pod and inside it, a baby. One such world was Rhocancria, and the baby would become known to the enemies of mankind as Morrigan, Not quite what you were expecting eh? - So this is another fanon Heresy? Pretty much. I’ve just been discharged from hospital with a diganosis of a condition called Functional Neuropathy Disorder and I don’t know when I’ll be well enough to go back to work. On top of this some of the meds I’m on leave me a bit spun out so I’m not quite feeling up to committing to any new projects and in hospital I listened to a lot of videos on Horus Heresy lore ( I play 40k and Kill Team, I cant afford to play Heresy too) and came up with this The idea is I roll 2 20 sided dice, one selects the primarch and one selects the legion from the canon lists. I use this prompt (i.e. What if Mortarion commanded the Blood Angels) as a jumping off point to create new primarchs and legions. I reroll any numbers already rolled and ignore 2 and 11 (for now). This is just a jumping off point though, I didn't want to be limited to the actual canon legions and primarchs. Don’t take this too seriously. Ive stuck closer to some prompts than others. This is just me having a bit of fun while I wait for my health to get better. Once I’ve designed the legions, we’ll see where we go from there. At time of writing, it is the great Crusade, and all the Primarchs have been found.
