Some fluff question

[Spacefrisian]

I have been having a strange idea for some chaos conversion and i wanted to ask if it were posible.

 

The basic idea is female like models as "count as" Chaos marines.

 

The fluf behind it would be like a Sister of battle order being cut of from the imperium by a warpstorm and being forced to change their way of life. EG they become more warlike.

 

Once the Warpstorm subsides a Inq. guy comes around and orders them to attack a position which they do however they have a strange habbit of eating their victims now (like the Sons of Malice)

 

Inq gets pissed and tries to wipe em out however he fails and some of the Sisters escape. With no other place to go then the warp they flee in their (or the likes)

 

They meet up with Fabius (coincedence i guess) and he modifies them to a new standard like same strength as an astarter (not astarter). They than devout them selves to the cause of chaos.

 

Now the questions:

Would this be useable as a base for their story.

 

BTW: I was not thinking about putting boobs on the Armour instead i think they would look better in a more wulfen like way. Simply put i want to try if the new Plastic Deamonnettes bodies can be fitted to marine legs. This would be explained in fluff in the form of "they had to reforge their armour and their weren't enough parts to do so.

 

Would that idea be useable as well.

I like your idea alot, sisters could turn to chaos as easily as anyone else. (ignore the pious calls of heresy and bemoaning that it would never happen, sisters are human after all, maybe slaneesh appealed to their feminine vanity). Personaly I wouldn't have them bump into fabious, the corrupting power of chaos would be enough to warp their bodies to be more / less armoured and to increase their stats. Scantily clad warrior women with guns ... nice idea ! :(

It's a good back story, the one bit I would disinclude is the Inquisitor sending them on a mission after they've been cut off from the imperium. Any forces that have been cut off from the imperium would be throughaly vetted by the inquisition before being returned to active duty. I would have them disappear into the warp as pious sisters and reappear as raving daemon-touched madwomen bent on destruction. Maybe write the fluff from the view of an inquisitor who fended off a raid by these dark sisters, recovered a body from the batlefield and matched the serial numbers on their armor/weapons to an order of Sisters that disappeared 500 years ago? The canibalism could be included in the report as an obbsserved phenomena.

I think davidren2401 has a great point. If you change the perspective you can say a lot, while leaving much of the backstory up to speculation. A good mystery is often better than full knowledge. In the warp the sisters could easily have turned, having contact with marines that had actually walked with the emperor when the emperor was just a man. I think this is an awesome kernel of a story. I'd actually love to read a book that followed the sisters as they slowly succumb to the effects of the warp. They could have resisted for many years caught alone in the warp as chaos play things. After all, Chaos is patient. All things tend towards it.

There has been GW fluff of whole covens of sisters falling to chaos, so it's all good!

Some more questions:

 

Is the aspect of madness attached to a chaos god already, i couldn't find one of the current ones and got this idea after playing "Oblivion: Shivering Isle" and the idea seems nice for a new Chaos god.

 

As for fluff it could be explained but i have some problems with how to model it maybe ahving blind folded or twisted models.

[davidren2401]

It depends on what type of madness you mean. If you're talking homicidal rampage madness that's Khorne. Cold calculated hanibel Lector style madness would be Tzeentch. Nurgle represents the wish to see all around you decay and collapse, like a madman with his finger on the button of a virus bomb. Slaneesh is the very definition of a clinical psycopath, selfish to the point where the suffering of others holds no sway what-so-ever. The madnesss of self-destruction is associated with Malaal, the lost god. It all depends on what type of madness you want the sisters to be afflicted by

Madness in its purest form. In that game madness is made up of 2 facets: 1 a happy/ artistic way 2: a Demented and depressed way, for both perseptions they hold a terrible truth which in turn drives many mad. That is also seen in the fact that 1 half is bright coloured the other dark.

I would go with Slaneesh and Nurgle in that order then. Or you could create your own minor God? Prehaps a two-faced God like Janus?

I've been pondering around with another idea which turns away from any chaos god and more renegad like. Its would be more centered around the lord instead of a god. This idea came from Samoerai Warriors 2 now i'am in need of some help here as their are 2 guys which form a nice basis for this.

 

 

 

BTW did i mention already that i have to start over with chaos sold all i had cause i didn't like what i had, thats why i 'am searching (brainstorming) for suitable ideas now, with some nice fluff.

So are the army still going to be traitor Sisters of Battle or are they all going to be evil space samurais?

[Zealot Of Chaos]

So are the army still going to be traitor Sisters of Battle or are they all going to be evil space samurais?

This is how I read it, he is continuing with the corrupted sisters theme but they have been corrupted by no particular god of chaos, just by the influence of a character similar to that of one of the links provided who leads the sisters astray, and because they are a chapter of the Ordos Hereticus, any deviation from the path (like the one they've undertaken) would lead to excommunication and death.

 

Space, you could have them follow Tzeentch if this is the case because whilst all the other gods have forms he (and his servants) have no definitive shape and there is a special daemon character called the changling for example who can alter his appearence, so therefore he could look like for arguments sake Inquisitor Lord Coteaz, the most revered Inquisitor from the Ordo Malleus who then "asks for the sister's aid as his requisitioned troops are still a long way from arriving and decisive action needs taking" but by taking this action deviate from the path and the rest is fluff for you

 

EDIT: or if you didn't want them to be following Tzeentch just have Tzeentch throw them off course (via the method above) at which point they mistrust the chaos gods but because they are exiled have no choice but to join the legions of the warp

[Spacefrisian]

I'am dropping the evil sister theme as the conversion i had in mind looked like crap. As for following a god i'am still not sure though i think that using their units would be something. Also i think i should agree that madness is a weak part as it is basicly represented by all those other gods.

 

BTW: i also Thought out a devious plan in which 1 squad is able to hold 2 objectives, so i'am considering 20 man squads.

 

I'am liking the idea of being thrown of and having no coice but to join the legions of the warp. Maybe the Lord will think that he is able to destroy them from within. or Maybe some sort of plaything for the gods to see if he eventually can overthrow Abbaddon.
