Arkangilos Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 If we need more renegades, I have two up to the task. If not, though, that is cool :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 In agreement with the ideas so far. I hereby swear an oath that I shall uphold my commitment to the Campaign. As ever, my opinons are here to assist in formenting the campaign. I shall get to work on crafting a storyline if this is the way we are to go.

Ecritter Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My Sons are fleet based after M38, but operate out of Ultima and Tempestus ... so I can move if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Debonair Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I've updated the list (See here) Very nice. B) We've got quite the sizable force assembled, haven't we? I think you need an evil face and bracketed 'Traitors' next to Alecto's lads, though - if memory serves the Legio Solemnitas are despicable Nurgle-y traitors.

Ferrata Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 A quick note whilst I have a little free time seeing as discussion seems to be occurring at quite a rapid rate. Seeing as we are looking to make multiple books, I think it is important to ensure we have the long game planned out. For this, I would suggest our initial effort be to create a short history of all the crusades. This will cover the entire story that we are attempting to tell but without going into detail of individual conflicts. An example of this would be the Overview Article in the Dornian Heresy, but in our case it would be the size of an Imprint. Here, each “book” would be shortened down to a chapter (or, in actual case, each chapter would be expanded into a “book”). The reasons I suggest this are: If this project fails at some point, negative I know but it does happen, we are more likely to achieve this aim then the entire project. This means we have a short-term achievement that we could happily walk-away from if the drive for the project dies down. It gives us an outline of each of the books, so we know roughly what happened. When we split down into smaller groups to make the following books, they will all be following the same storyline. Each book will have a defined start and end with a number of the key points already mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Im in agreement with Ferrata here, id rather, if we fail, have succeeded somewhere rather than completely failed altogether Would it be possible to create a sub-forum for this project Ferrata??

I agree, This would help us nail down details such as place/people/army names, important events/battles ect ect…. Making the rest of the process a lot easier in the long run.

Sigismund Himself Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Chuck the Gryphon Guard into Tempestus as there seems to be fewer chapters there. I'll throw my hat into the ring for whatever leadership roles need filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Reaper Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Just jumped on to see what the progress was...I am astounded that my idea has taken off so quickly. I'd like to thank everyone for their interest and for those who are/will run this thing. I would really like to work on the fluff, although I am more than happy to work on some rules.

Crusader of Dorn Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I concur with the current direction, i'm working on my IA just now so i'll leave the set up of warzones to you guys. As a fleet based chapter i need to wait until the warzones are set anyway, unless a campaign is created with a fleet based chapter crusading/exploring and running into a major enemy sparking a bigger event? That wasnt an attempt to put my guys at the forefront of anything, just a small suggestion. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialIssue Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Suggestion for campaign - how about tying the various far-flung chapters together by having the enemy lead us all to a single sector/world for the ultimate battle(s)? Like, an Ork Waagh/splinter Hive fleet batters its way across one segmentum, with numerous chapters caught in its wake/path, falling back before its advance but continuing to trail and hound its progress, as it heads towards the 'central' sector. Coming in from the opposite direction, a smaller mop-up campaign is also converging on the central sector, pursuing fleeing traitors. Meanwhile, in the central sector, an independent campaign is already underway, or some chapters are already there for their own specific goals (Sanguinous chapters looking for relic together? Young chapters banding together for a campaign? etc), which gets thrown into disarray when the waagh/hive fleet and its accompanying Astartes baggage arrives. Thus civil conflict may also be provoked, as these chapters try to achieve their secretive, original objective as well as (perhaps) helping defeat the new enemy. The conflict escalates when some overall commander of Imperial forces (we'll have to thrash this out) realizes that with so many astartes holding a stake in this action, now would be the perfect time to utterly crush this Hive fleet/waaagh by getting lots more astartes in, and thus calls in much more reinforcements from even other chapters, trumpeting it as a "pilgrimage" to have an all-astartes campaign, a chance to fight solely with brothers in arms. Just throwing an idea out... Also, fyi, my chapter the Guardian Eagles are fleet based too, and can be found Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Telanicus: The more evil, despicable minions of Chaos we can get, the better. This is rather pointless if we don't have any enemies. Ferrata: Sounds like a good idea, and should aid us in assigning fleet-based chapters faster. 11th Company Dark Master: The fluff is the biggest part of this, so you're in luck. Crusader of Dorn: Assuming we stick to Ferrata's idea, you'll be assigned upon completion of the summary based on where your chapter fits best. SpecialIssueAmmo: That could work for Ultima, due to the incredible size and diversity of the chapters there. Keep the ideas coming, the more we think up, the more we have to work with! ;) And signup is now closed, I'd say, so 11th Company, if you wouldn't mind editing your post description to say something like 'Signup closed-Awaiting missing chapter info' or similar.

Arkangilos Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Ok, well one of my traitor marines is the Unholy Chosen (Segmentum Obscurous). The core of the Chosen are the Primaris Legion break offs (I have a link to the chapter in an earlier post), but they have bolstered there numbers with several Chaos Warbands seeking glory. They also lead the traitor IG army known as the Unholy Guard (and there will not need to be any further explination on them, as they are pretty much just IG that turned or were "drafted"). They operate in an area known as the Draco Sector (in fact, they are trying to conquer it). So far, they have succeeded, and the Imperium declared the "Draco Crusade" to retake it. However, if the Draco Crusade does not want to be used (because it is after it) then they can be remnants or something. My other "traitors" are the Star Saviors. They are pretty young, operate in the Ultima Segmentum, and fight for the "greater good." They help humans, but hate the Imperium. They are often seen with Tau, and make use Tau Tech, as well as Tau/Human hybrid tech, and the usual SM tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorridgeMeister Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I just liked to say that my chaps (the Knight Valiant) were founded in M32 at the same time as the Marines Malevolent; so just say 4th Founding. As for the theatre of war, feel free to move my Chapter wherever it fits best for the planning. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Striker Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Okay, so back on the first page I signed up for this, not knowing how long it would take or that my laptop would bust halfway through. Now, I have a decent chapter down. The Adamantium Dragons are fleet based, and have been doing most of their work in Ultima Segmentum, but can be sent anywhere. Lots of naval-grade firepower and a love for plasma weapons should make them pretty useful all over the Imperium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Would it be possible to create a sub-forum for this project Ferrata?? From two points of view, I would say there is little chance of a sub-forum being created for this. Why you ask? Two points of view? Yes, one from the Staff member as we (the B&C) are aiming to keep down the number of sub-forums as possible. Plus with the move over to v3 scheduled, we are not at the point were we want to be adding more forums. As a participant, I would like to see this work open to all those who wonder the halls of Liber and not hide it away somewhere. That is, however, unless we begin to overrun Liber and it is hindering the main aspect of Liber - Chapter Feedback.

Ferrata Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 SpecialIssueAmmo I cannot seem to find a segmentum to place you in. However, at the moment, that isn't a major issue (same goes with Founding dates). When we have organised a storyline we can look at who can take part in which section etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madwolf Shadowmane Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm am willing to aid in this project as needed. My only set back would be my transition back to the States in June, but it should only be a minor disruption. The Hounds of the Hunt "crusade/hunt/quest" across the known galaxy in two company groups for 80-90 years at a time, so if needed they can be placed where needed.

Madwolf Shadowmane Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 What about an expanded version of the plot line from the first Grey Knight Novel as the premise for the campaigns. A re-manifesting manipulating greater demon perhaps with a pet radical inquisitor for the internal/external threat. Just an idea. Madwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felwether Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Great to see that this is taking off so quickly, my brothers are well up for messing up Imperial plans in whatever way they can. Although they seem to be alone and completely surrounded by hordes of corpse-worshipping lapdogs... :geek: I would, however, just like to point out that they're called the Marines Immaculate and my name is spelt Felwether. :tu: EDIT: Oh, and they're also fleet based, though they do operate mostly in southern Ultima which is fine.
