Captain Jack Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 The Inquisitors of Slannesh origin During a campaign in the Halos System the entire bulk of the Sky Marauders were deployed to destroy the final base of the Iron Warriors attacking the system. little did they know the inquisitor who had commanded them to the sector was a radical this was learned of during the by the High Lords who had already sent a Witch Hunter's strike force to take them out. Unfortunately this was not known the Space Marines on the ground. they took the stronghold and evacuated to their battle barge to thank the Emperor for their victory. Unfortunately the Gods had a different plan. The 4 Gods commanded the inquisitor to fire at the Marauder's Battle Barge and to send them a message proclaiming them excommunicate. the uninformed chapter was proclaimed heretic by the inquisitor. The Inquisitorial Strike Force had attempted to contact the chapter, but the communications array was destroyed before they could reach the astartes. They slaughtered the Inquisitor and thought about the their next move, but that was decided by a higher power. The Strike Force reached the Battle Barge Placeholder to thank them for slaying the radical. As the fleet moved closer the Chapter open fired. They crushed the Inquisitorial Task Force. All the Gods sought their chance to find a new group of servants, but slannesh was the first he made the marines take pleasure in whatthey thought was avenging their honor. How the made the Imperials suffer. once they had won the battle. A Keeper of Secrets a Slanneshi greater demon arrived and in wake of being betrayed by the emperor they easily converted over to Slannesh's will loving the pleasure they gained from revenge. They deemed themselves The Inquisitors of Slannesh ready to crush heretics against Chaos. Homeworld They are fleet based and currently possess 5 battle barges. 1 was originally the chapters, and has been turned into their command ship. The second through fourth are normal, but the fifth insures that the chapter has fresh recruits. Recruitment The fifth battle barge mentioned earlier is very important to the chapter. It moves around the galaxy using the chapters former scouts to train kidnapped recruits from warrior cultures everywhere. This ship always contains 400 recruits and the former scouts training Them. To join the bulk of the chapter once a recruit has gone through implantation. He must kidnap another to take his place. Beliefs They believe in Slannesh primarily, but have tolerance for other chaotic beliefs as long as those more radical thinkers choose the icon of chaos glory. Rather than their patron, but apart from that they worship Slannesh similar to the Emperor they build churches and form cults to worship their darkm master. Combat Doctrine They primarily use weapons that will not cause them a sweet death but torture the victim. they make good use of flamers, heavy blotters and shrapnel oriented weaponry, but no matter how you talk about this chapter they adapt. They change strategies mid battle to offset their enemies. They shoot from afar to keep you off walls and then jump off to slice you. Organization The Inquisitors organize themselves into groups called stike forces. these strike forces are similar to the strike forces of codex chapters, but in the Inquisitors these are permanent groups of brothers bonded in service. Each Strike Force is led by a sorcerer, a chaplain, or a Lord. The leader who was blessed with daemon hood is known as Koral'Thas he was the chapter master during the chapter's fall and he now organizes strike forces to send on missions. Some sorcerers or chaplains who have not been given a strike force are organized into priesthoods who are sent out to convert planets to slannesh's will. Gene Seed Originally descendants of Roboute Gulliman and suffering from no noticeable flaws. Now it doesn't matter thanks to a secret branch of the chapter known as the shadow hunters. Whenever the chapter fights space marines the shadow hunters take the field. Former apothecaries the shadow hunters not only take the gene seeds of themselves but that of other chapters. They currently have a sample of every 1st founding chapter, but the Emperor's Children because they are also worshippers of slannesh. War Cry " Burn in Slannesh's name!" sent from my iPad I'll Put on the color scheme and symbol when I get the chance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214878-it-inquisitors-of-slannesh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Debonair Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Welcome to the Liber. :) First, I'm going to reccomend you take a look at the DIY guide stickied at the top of the forum, a great read and filled with useful information. ;) Secondly, on with the C&C: origin During a campaign in the Halos System the entire bulk of the Sky Marauders were deployed to destroy the final base of the Iron Warriors attacking the system. little did they know the inquisitor who had commanded them to the sector was a radical this was learned of during the by the High Lords who had already sent a Witch Hunter's strike force to take them out. Radical inquisitors and Traitors are two entirely different kettles of fish; just because an inquisitor is a radical doesn't necessarily mean he's a dirty, scheming heretic. :P Easily fixed, mind, just change the word 'radical' for 'traitor'. The Strike Force reached the Battle Barge Placeholder to thank them for slaying the radical. As the fleet moved closer the Chapter open fired. They crushed the Inquisitorial Task Force. All the Gods sought their chance to find a new group of servants, but slannesh was the first he made the marines take pleasure in whatthey thought was avenging their honor.

A Keeper of Secrets a Slanneshi greater demon arrived and in wake of being betrayed by the emperor they easily converted over to Slannesh's will loving the pleasure they gained from revenge. They deemed themselves The Inquisitors of Slannesh ready to crush heretics against Chaos. Surely the marines would assume the Inquisitor was the traitor in the first place, rather than feel betrayed? And why would they rename themselves after the person who'd just backstabbed them? Homeworld They are fleet based and currently possess 5 battle barges. 1 was originally the chapters, and has been turned into their command ship. The second through fourth are normal, but the fifth insures that the chapter has fresh recruits. That's a few too many Battle Barges. Most fleet-based chapters have two or three at best, and a few strike cruisers. Although having a dedicated recruitment ship is a novel idea. The fifth battle barge mentioned earlier is very important to the chapter. It moves around the galaxy using the chapters former scouts to train kidnapped recruits from warrior cultures everywhere. This ship always contains 400 recruits and the former scouts training Them. To join the bulk of the chapter once a recruit has gone through implantation. He must kidnap another to take his place. Buddy, that scout company is huge, especially for traitorous renegades. Without the actual support of the Imperium, it's darn hard for a chapter to survive. It's a lot harder when they're so big, because you need more and more supplies. Partly for this reason and partly because the Imperium does not play nice with renegades, most former-chapter-warbands tend to be a bit smaller than normal chapters. They primarily use weapons that will not cause them a sweet death but torture the victim. they make good use of flamers, heavy blotters and shrapnel oriented weaponry, but no matter how you talk about this chapter they adapt.

They currently have a sample of every 1st founding chapter, but the Emperor's Children because they are also worshippers of slannesh. Now hold on a moment. If I've understood this right, you have geneseed from all but one of the original legions. :) Frankly, I can't imagine that ever happening in 40K. I'd advise picking a geneseed and sticking with it, instead of trying to have everything in one warband. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214878-it-inquisitors-of-slannesh/#findComment-2559042 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They renamed themselves a little later, and they chose their name based on how the imperium saw them as traitors, but was really the inquisitor. Homeworld response: Would you see four as okay or 3 at the most. Recruitment: Do you have any other suggestions thats the only thing I could come up with. Combat doctrine: Ill take that as a GJ Gene Seed: I just wanted to say that I'm not using that as a way to use different codices this is for the most part going to use Codex CSM unless i'm headed for a tourney. I got the idea from Imperial Armor 9 Its the same concept as I stated. If you wanna learn about it Its in the new book. Maybe they have a sample of a descendant for every primarch. Ill post another version soon once i get a little more advice.

Brother-Sergeant Valen Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Really, you're going to find three battle barges stretching it as a renegade chapter. The only way for them to replace them is through the Dark Mechanicus, or claiming those used by loyalist (Or other traitor) chapters. Much like the 'priesthood'. Daemons generally reach out through untrained psykers or heretics to influence a world, not an Astartes Legion. The traitor Astartes come to a world, destroy the loyalists/bathe in the blood of the populace/whatever else they came there to do, and move on before large numbers of loyalist Astartes can be mobilised against them. What Ace was saying is that it's unlikely to find examples of the gene-seed of every Primarch in a single chapter, in fact it's unlikely to find any more than one. Even the Chaos Traitor Legions still regard the other marines of their chapter as brothers, as they share a genetic 'father'. Having a variety of gene-seed eliminates that. -- As for the recruitment idea, the single-ship being dedicated to recruitment is ok, but how many recruits you currently have is over the top. A loyalist Astartes chapter 10th company (Scout Company) numbers no more than 100, yet your chapter has 400+.

And yea they stole the barges thank you for the advice what other ideas do you think I should do for the "priesthood" or should I scrap it what about the shadow hunters idea do you think thats to radical and should just stick to Huron or is it fine with some alteration so normal scout company size for the dedicated barge If you respond to this I'll make some changes and release the second iteration Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214878-it-inquisitors-of-slannesh/#findComment-2560872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
