Perditia

[DarkKnightCuron]

I actually have a few old Dark Heresy characters that could stand a little bit of sunshine.

 

I have no problem using the two agents you proposed, and possibly any more you propose in the future providing they find a purpose in the Campaign. However, I ask for your permission to change the name of their Inquisitor to the current Maelbor, as well as adjust any ideas that may not fit just right in what we need to accomplish.

 

That's perfectly fine with me, KingHongKong. Feel free to do what you need so you can fit them in easier.

 

Edit:

 

Also, are any of you opposed to the use of Legio Cyberntica, basically Adeptus Mechanicus Robots, on the Imperium's side?

The types of robots are:

Crusader (anti-personnel)

Colossus (siege)

Cataphract (multi-purpose)

Castellan (siege and anti-tank)

Conqueror (assault and anti-tank)

 

If we already have a few Titans on scene, it would make sense for the Cyberntica to be present, methinks.

So today I was looking through the new BA codex, and I came across a familiar name: Gehenna. It seems the BAs and the Necrons fought some epic battle here.

I thought I'd bring it to your attention, whether we decide to change our campaign or not is upto you guys.

I'm sure the option--of making the events occuring as outlined in this thread occur before that event--is available, and shouldn't be too much of a problem to adjust.

Alright then.

I brought up this point when we were discussing the name on the new plastic Venerable Dreadnought. I'm perfectly alright with changing the name of the Campaign, as well as Zhu which is actually GHY's play on a campaign level from the game Mass Effect by BioWare.

 

To actually quote you, Ferrus

 

I think the names are fine. To be honest, considering the origins of Gehenna it was inevitable that GW would use it.

[Ferrus Manus]

Haha, talk about eating your own words :) well let's keep it then, besides we came up with it before GW.

[DarkKnightCuron]

I have a couple more Inquisitorial agents for you.

 

Herik Behnsorin - A particularly mellow sanctioned psyker. While not very powerful in terms of combat or aiding in the travel across the warp, Herik possesses a unique affinity with the Emperor's Tarot, which has made him profoundly invaluable in engagements against the enemies of mankind.

 

Sergeant Qalis Victris - Currently assigned to the Campaign at Gehenna, Sergeant Victris leads a squad of Ordo Xenos Inquisitorial Stormtroopers. Unlike some Stormtrooper units, they are exceptional practitioners of stealth, rather than full-on Assaults, and favor Sniper Rifles over the brash Hellguns typical of their profession.

 

Also, in the case someone would like to include them, I forgot about this particular IG regiment I had developed a few years ago (back with the Old IG Codex), but when the new one came out, I hadn't really touched them. Their homeworld isn't too far off from the Gehenna supposively is.

 

Vesuvian Dragoons - Imperial Guard regiment hailing from a former Paradise world. When their world was destroyed by consecutive years of warfare (resulting in multiple volcanoes on the planet to erupt), their planet was covered in volcanic ash and waste. Vesuvians are a very sturdy, if uncompromising, individuals. They train with the same heavy requirements similar to Stormtroopers of the Imperium. Their planet is littered with odd, blue crystals that are able to be used for energy. Oddly enough, the Vesuvians use these crystals to power their Las weaponry and, when depleted of energy, become very dense and tough, becoming the material for their heavy armor. They often take to the field in Chimeras or assault bikes--not so dissimilar from the Space Marine Bikes used by the Adeptus Astartes.

 

Currently, many of the Vesuvian regiments (while very few in number) are engaged with other areas, at least one or two regiments could be present at this particular campaign as shock troops.

One thing is having the name randomly appear on a dreadnought, but it's another to have it featured as a place in 40k canon. We could stick to it seeing as we had the name before it was official, or we could even pull a Medusa, but I have to say I'm leaning towards changing the name. But that's my opinion.

Anyways, here's another upgraded Captain. This time it's Arnkel!

I really shouldn't be doing these as I'm in the final weeks of my 3rd major assignment at school. But I had so much fun making these that I had to squeeze in one more. That's the last one in a while though.

Hope I got the skin tone and hair color right. Let me know if I didn't Ferrus.

[Ferrus Manus]

Spot on mate. I'm very impressed :)

[Donkey Kong]

besides we came up with it before GW.

 

Erm, about that ;) , no we didn't. Or at least, I didn't.

Look at the sources.

 

Fine as always, DarkKnightCuron. Despite not seeing the results of your efforts now, I assure you, you're taking weight off of our shoulders with every character or entry you make.

 

but I have to say I'm leaning towards changing the name. But that's my opinion.

 

I'm all for changing the name, in addition to Zhu.

 

Excellent work Grey!

[Ferrus Manus]

Well how about we change Gehenna to Perditia and Zhu to Cain? Just to keep the hell theme going.

I'll go ahead and second this concept, though I hope renaming everything won't be too much of a chore for ya folks.

[Donkey Kong]

I like Perditia, but not so much for Cain. What languages are they from, by the way? just curious.

 

On page 4 you made some suggestions before for names of moons, I like Uffern and Kabbalah personally. However, I'll let Ace, Grey and GHY have some input beforehand. This also means that I'm going to have to edit the Death Heads IA.

 

- Anaon

- Uffern

- Peklo

- Kalichi

- Metnal

- Kabbalah

- Sheol

- Naraka

 

though I hope renaming everything won't be too much of a chore for ya folks.

 

It's hardly a chore, to be honest. I find it much harder to do math ;) !

Perditia is bastardised from Perdition. Cain was the only person, besides Lucifier and his fallen, to be condemned to the darkest circle of hell. So short answer: english.

The first is certainly creative. Either that, or I'm too distracted by schoolwork to be perceptive :lol: . Unfortunately, I don't think Cain is that good of a name for a world cluster.

 

You made a fine list (that I quoted in my previous post), any of those you particularly liked Ferrus? You could bastardize one if you like to see with what you can make.

[Ferrus Manus]

I'd be happy to go with Kabbalah and Uffern. Or perhaps Kabalon and Uffros.

[Codex Grey]

I quite like Perditia, but I don't really see why we need to change Zhu. Yes, it's a name from Mass Effect, but I always knew that, and thought it was just a nod to a great franchise which I am myself a big fan of, so I don't see why we have to change it now more than we had to change it before. That doesn't mean I'm against changing it thought.

 

Also, I like Kabalon and Uffros.

 

 

 

 

Also, I like chocolate.

[DarkKnightCuron]

Kabalon and Uffros.

 

Sounds Good to me too!

[Donkey Kong]

Alright then, as of now

Gehenna --> Perditia

Zhu Worlds --> Kabalon

 

Yes, it's a name from Mass Effect, but I always knew that, and thought it was just a nod to a great franchise which I am myself a big fan of, so I don't see why we have to change it now more than we had to change it before. That doesn't mean I'm against changing it thought.

 

I understand, however I think some originality is swell. Also, I have trouble keeping my favorite universes in line as is (between Star Wars, Mass Effect, 40k, Gears of War, Halo and that's just the tip) :rolleyes: .

[Ace Debonair]

Wow.

I get ill for a couple of weeks and look what happens!

 

First thing's first, though - Those chapter badges as presented by Codex Grey are easily the coolest thing I have seen all year. Exceptional stuff, buddy! The portraits up to now also look equally fantastic. If the armour idea doesn't work out, then I'd suggest putting the chapter symbol behind the character and slightly to the side, so it's easy to identify.

 

I'm sort of glad I missed out on the maths session. So many numbers makes my brain ache. ;)

 

I'm not too fond of changing the campaign name to Perditia, personally. But if everyone else likes it, go for it - especially since I haven't got any better names up my sleeve just now. ;) Although we could just mess about with the word Gehenna. Anegah or Gennara or something, maybe? (Or, more likely, something better than that. Sorry, it's late and my brain is demanding that I sleep before it does any more work.)

 

Also, I like chocolate.

Yes, that would be a.... sweet name for a system.

 

Sorry. ;)

 

Anyway, it's looking good here right now. I'm impressed by the all the devlopments, but a little bit lost at sea with regards to what still needs naming and what's been named.

Glad to see we've gained a few extra regular posters too. Welcome to the war, guys. ;)

[Ferrus Manus]

Just to add to that, I think we should recruit DKC as a 5th collaborator - he/she seems to have a good feel for the INQ forces. So where we are all busy sorting out fluff for our respective Chapters, he/she can work on the INQ. Just a suggestion.

 

And Ace you deserve mackereling for that appalling pun :tu:

I really appreciate the praise, Ferrus Manus! I would be honored to develop them out.

 

Considering the size of this war, Inquisitor Maelbor would likely have sent a few squads of Stormtroopers as well as several Inquisitorial agents at the very beginning of the assault. While the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers would be charged with eliminating and/or discovering any true Xeno threat, the agents would likely be working to infiltrate enemy positions (if at all possible), and interrogating any prisoners, until Inquisitor Maelbor (likely bringing a few ships of his own, along with several Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Platoons), just in time to review the information gathered by his agents and make a determination. This would likely occur in the middle, or near the end of the conquest, with the Inquisitor passing judgement upon the rebellion (basically, an official ruling by the Inquisition that these rebels are heretics and traitors to the cause of the Imperium. "Wipe them out--all of them."). As Inquisitors usually don't like to be in the spotlight more than they have to, he would likely be an advisor to the overall commander of the war, utilizing his Stormtroopers to drive out any Eldar/Xeno units (as much as they can, anyway, they are Eldar after all), with his more stealthy agents working to acquire and confiscate any Xeno prisoners and technology, to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. With the sheer chaos occuring, such technology could easily find its hands into criminals and deserters, which is something the Inquisitor does not want to see.

 

I'm not 100% sure this engagement would warrant the presence of the Deathwatch, as the Eldar involvement seems minimal (unless I'm missing anything critical). They're usually needed for more critical matters (coughtyrannidscough).

[Ferrus Manus]

Your welcome.

 

On the note of the Deathwatch, I doubt we'd need a force of them... considering we have the involvement of 4 Chapters, I'd be willing to bet there would be enough ex-DW brethren within the forces available if needed. Could make for an interesting tale...

That's a cool idea. Maybe a 5+ man squad is formed from old DW brethren of the four Chapter, assigned to Inquisitor Maelbor to get to the bottom of the Eldar involvement in the rebellion. Maybe some of these brethren have worked with Maelbor before.

Sounds like an excellent idea! Inquisitors usually don't stray far from their areas of operations and expertise, some being in charge of several systems...or in some cases, whole sub-sectors. Whole sectors are usually far too vast for a single inquisitor to manage (hence why you have Inquisitor Lords, who have multiple inquisitors and nearly limitless resources to manage the affairs in these vast areas of space), so I could see Inquisitor Maelbor being responsible for the goings-on in this system (as well as a few others. The only reason he didn't arrive with the first batch/wave of Inquisitorial agents is likely due to pressing matters elsewhere), but if the Astartes marines have worked in this sub-sector before, they will likely have, at the very least, been given Inquisitor Maelbor's contact information should they come across something unforeseen. The Eldar involvement here would probably trouble Maelbor greatly, as they are not mindless, battle-fueled monstrosities or aliens bent on extinguishing all life...no, Eldar usually have an ulterior motive (if not more than one).

 

As for the squad of Former Deathwatch Marines being called upon to form a squad and investigate the Eldar presence in full, I could definitely see that happening. Even with the 250 Stormtroopers at his side, there are things only Deathwatch can accomplish.

Sounds cool, dibs Heavy Weapon Specialist.

If anyone just wants to throw down a name for a member of the Death Watch, feel free to do so.
