Ace Debonair Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Anyone else been giving any thought on this? I've certainly given a lot of thought to how my DIY Chapters would fit in the Dornian Heresy, if that counts. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155430-the-history-and-legacy-of-dorns-betrayal/page/22/#findComment-2769046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelbor-Hal Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Thats a pretty sweet idea, ;) Are you thinking there should be any no go areas for subjects, besides legions which have not been visited yet? I would suggest if this does happen, that we post the stories on a new thread or each story has its own thread so that we do not disrupt the development of the Dornian Heresy on this thread. Thanks, it was on my mind for a while (to be precise, since I started to write my own story) :) I think the exact structure of the Imperium should be off limits, cause it's not quite sure how that will turn out (for example: is there an Inquisition; is the Imperial Army the main military body of the Imperium, or is it the IG... etc.). But I think Aurelius (or someone else on the project whit an authoroty) would be the best judge of that. Actually I was reading the Let the Galaxy Burn anthology recently, and I think it can be an exellant guidline for this little contest. It has groups of short stories based around key plot elements (xenos, space marines, IG, Imperial Navy, chaos... etc.). If we lay down a few ground rules, name a few things that the stories could focus on, or set some categories I'd say things'll just go fine. And yes, separate threads would be the best solution for this (maybe one category-one thread would be sufficient).

Jonas Stromclaw Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 A short story contest sounds like a great idea. Would it be set for the Heresy period, the 41st millennium, or both?

Culebras Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Anyone else been giving any thought on this? I've certainly given a lot of thought to how my DIY Chapters would fit in the Dornian Heresy, if that counts. :( sort of. I was thinking more along something like this "The Flesh Tearers" The Flesh Tearers is the nickname given to one of the many splintered grand companies of the traitorous Blood Angels. Led by the young but ambitions lord Seth, the Flesh Tearers carry an unusual but much despised infection that causes their skin to loosen, gaining the consistency of wet paper, and ultimately leaving it vulnerable to fraying and split. While griped with thirst for battle, Seth's forces will literally tear their way out of their own flesh as the surge forward in search of fresh blood. or This "The Flawless Host" The Flawless host is an unofficial name given to the Sixth Grand Company of the Emperor's Children. The name dates back to an instant whereby two loyal legions nearly went to war with each other. During the retaking of the shrine world of Heliotrope, indiscriminate fire from the Iron Warriors caused heavy collateral damage to the Word Bearer's and their attendant forces, including the destruction of several important shrines and relics. The Iron Warriors defended their actions by claiming that Lorgar's legion had failed to exercise proper discipline and control over its followers. The Two legions seemed poised to come to blows, and only the quick thinking of a contingent of Emperor's Children prevented the shedding of loyal blood. Citing the feast of the Emperor's Ascension to the Golden Throne, The Commander of the of the Emperor's children managed to convince the leaders of both legions to join him in a feast held aboard the Battle Barge, Pride of Chemos. Over the course of seven meals, the Emperor's children employed all their guile, diplomacy, and skill at rhetoric. By the end of the last meal, the Word Bearer and Iron Warrior Commanders embraced in renewed brotherhood, their past disagreements forgotten. The resulting crusade saw nine sectors reclaimed in the name of the emperor, and the Sixth Company was forever after known as the flawless host. So yeah, just some ideas there. More to come. Don't know if I should post them here.

Aurelius Rex Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 If there is interest in the short story competition then leave it with me and I will have a word with the powers that be to see what could be arranged, and what form it might take. :( There may be an issue that such short stories may have to be really quite short to make it possible to read all of the entries! When a contest was run in the Liber Astartes section for 'Lost chapters of the Adeptus Astartes', the entries were restricted to 1500 words, but this seems too short for a short story. Hmmm... let me investigate this interesting idea and I will get back to you all. ;) Aurelius.

Hyaenidae Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 May I make a suggestion, good sir? Maybe instead of a competition an actual story, we do short IA articles on known Characters (well, their polar opposite twins), or important battles in the Dornian History. For example, in the real world 40k IA of the Emperor's Children, there was a short tidbit on Eidolion. Something like this would allow the community to flesh out characters new and old, giving the Dornian Heresy a richer history, and letting the B&C community feel like they're pitching in a bit (a bit of hometown pride, so to speak). Make it something like a top ten Mini-IA's competition. Just a thought, brother.

Aurelius Rex Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Apologies for the absence - my computer is circling the drain so my ability to get on line and even to word process has been kicked in the unmentionables. The only good news is that at least all of the files have been backed up. Don't know how long it will take to fix it or get a replacement, but until that happens, things are going to be quiet from me. It's back to pen and paper for the forseeable future. Cheers, Aurelius.

Culebras Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Adding more Dornian universe chapter concepts in order to keep the thread going. I'm wondering if I should make a separate one for these? any thoughts? Lamenters regular version: unlucky Chapter, founded by blood angels, seemed to lack black rage, nearly destroyed by Tyranids. Former Ultramarines Chapter that lost the majority of their geneseed when they were overrun by the Tyranids. A mysterious stranger appeared and offered them new geneseed to keep the chapter alive. This was done in secret so that the Lamenters could save face. Only when the tears of the lamters began to turn into acidic blood did they discover that the geneseed, in fact, was from the Blood Angels. When approached by Nurgle, the Lamenters, willingly submitted themselves, and received Nurgles blessing. Today they are looked upon by their new "brethren" with disgust for having willingly sold themselves into service to the father of plagues. The Lamenters, however, seem barely to notice, as their have reaped only benefits from their new patron. Wherever they go, the Lamenters have enjoyed an appalling streak of good fortune that has sparked envy in their allies and the stark terror in the ranks of the Imperium and Ultramar Segmentum alike. In battle, the sight of their yellowing, pox marked armor inspires great cries of anguish and reduce hardened soldiers to sobbing wrecks. The Lamenters claim that these tears, mixed with the blood of their victims, has a unique taste. Genesis regular version: Ultramarine Successor, very loyal to the spirit of Codex Astartes One of the oldest of the Successor Chapters, the Ultramarine Genesis Chapter is also one of the greatest critics of the Maccarge Chapter. Based on the planet Newfound, the chapter has a role of triumphs second to none and this fact has often brought them into constant conflict with the traditional capital of Ultramar Segmentum. It was the Genesis chapter master who spoke most critically of the Primarch's plan to reunite the imperium with Ultramar. When their fears were proven true, they argued even more passionately for a crusade to rescue his body and punish the imperium. While the Genesis Chapter would never dream of taking up arms against their brethren, and thus putting all of Ultramar at risk, they have managed to build a considerable alliance among the younger, more glory hungry Chapters, and thus present a continual pain in the side of Chapter Master Calgar Silver Skulls regular version: Superstitious chapter, known to rely on divination and portents. the Sliver Skulls Ultramarine Chapter was created following the discovery of a large force of Iron Hands on the Planet Damnos. The Ultramarines succeeded in driving the traitor force from the planet, and discovered hundred of inactive, metallic skeletons that the Iron Hands had been in the process of unearthing. The decision was made to study these xeno artifacts in the hope of understanding what interest the Iron Hands had in them, and a chapter was founded to both watch over the planet and nearby sectors. Today, the Silver Skulls, whose name and iconography incorporates the strange metal bones, are amongst the most logical and trustworthy of chapters. Extremely rational, they scoff at the superstitious imperious and its flawed, often archaic ways, and rely on careful calculations when planning their campaigns. Consecrators regular version: Dark Angel chapter that uses the oldest equipment. A Dark Angels Chapter, the group referred to as the consecrators control and operate a Demonic Forge world. Here, they put their knowledge of Warpcraft and Spiral to good use to bind demons into vehicles, weapons and armors, which are traded to other Traitor legions and chaos forces in return for information. Scavengers from across the galaxy bring their treasures to the Consecrators, including everything from Tau rail rifles to Eldar skimmers and even Ultramarine Mark 16 power armor. The Consecrators play a vital roll in supporting the other dark angels with supplies and weapons, but the most valuable and rares prizes are kept by the Consecrators themselves, giving them access to a wider array of arms than most traitor forces. Indeed, it is rare to see the Consecrators going to war without the finest armor imaginable, and their chapter is one of the few that can actually field land speeders in its pursuit of the Unforgiven. Angel of Absolution regular version: Dark Angel Chapter that believes itself absolved and no longer guilty While the majority of the Dark Angels wish to capture the unforgiven and see them forced to recant their views and take up arms against the Imperium, a small minority believe this does not go far enough. These dark angels are referred to as "Angels of Absolution" and for they believe that only death can truly absolve the unforgiven of their crimes. These Dark Angels treat their Unforgiven brethren with great scorn and often place them at the fore front of battles, where the fighting is the fiercest. This has earned them several rebukes from Luther and the Dark Angel Leader has had to impress on them that death on the battlefield is far kinder than the fate awaiting the Unforgiven that are taken alive. Beasts of Annihilation Regular version: Devout Followers of the Dark Gods. I'm treating them as Word Bearers "And Lo, did I see a great beast come out of the wastelands, and from its mouth spread the fires of annihilation, and there was much wailing in fear and trembling in the hearts of the meek. But the Emperor went out to the beast, and did tame it, and bade it walk before him, and bring doom upon his enemies. And the name of the beast was justice, for it was terrible to behold" Book of lorgar, Chapter 743, Verse 4,987 Not much to add on the last one. Not a whole lot to work with when it comes to regular universe traitor legions and well known successor chapters/warbands. Suggestions would be welcome.

malika666 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Why not make the Silver Skulls a fallen chapter? We still need renegade chapters out there! <_< Here some more ideas, do with them what you like! Flesh Eaters: The Flesh Eaters are one of the various warbands that have separated themselves from their original Legion, the Blood Angels. As their name suggests, they eat the flesh of their enemies. It is speculated that the Flesh Eaters do this to restore their decaying bodies and souls. Violators: The Violators are one of the many Chapters/Companies of the Emperor's Children. Following the Legion's belief in aspiring perfection, the Violators have viewed themselves as superior to humans in every way possible. In order to maintain this perception, they refuse to show their unarmored bodies/facies to any outside of the Legion. Sons of Ulthunas: The Sons of Ulthunas are a company of the Emperor's Children who have been granted this new title in honor of their commander Ulthunas.Ulthunas led his company and other Imperial forces in the so called Ganymethian Crusade in which they have conquered many new worlds for the Imperium.

Coryphaus 101 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 How about this: The Soul Drinkers: A former company of the traitor Imperial Fists Legion, the Soul Drinkers were never present at the Istvaan dropsite massacre. Instead, they were caught in a warpstorm on their way to Terra to warn the Emperor of this plot. Arriving months too late they were devastated to find the Imperial Palace in ruins. When they then tried to enter the atmosphere they found themselves shot at, the defenders mistaking them for their traitor brethren. Their captain, Sarpedos, declared that, in failing their mission, they had directly caused the Emperor's injury and that they must redeem themselves for this failure. They have since repainted their armour purple and gold to honor the Emperor's Children legion, the only legion honorable enough to wear the Aquila, the symbol of the Emperor who they have failed and have been seen at numerous battles when the Imperium is in need. Several Imperial personal have tried to talk to them after the battle is over, but their seems to be no evidence that they were even present. They have been named the Soul Drinkers by witnesses, as whenever they appear the enemy seem to lose their will to live and are cut down by these mysterious phantoms. Just a note with EC thing. They don't use the Aquila as a symbol as they have failed the Emperor and deserve such an honor.
