King Willy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 While sitting in a Maccasa drive thru came up with an Idea for the WBs Lord. He needs to be the oldest guy on the planet, remembers when Lorgar was found by the Emperor and fought in the holy war. He's a psyker with who likes to throw people around with telekinesis. Visually, he'd be in power armour, needs to be massive and covered in scrolls like all good word bearers, but the armour itself is a daemonic entity able to shift and form to whatever shape he wants or the daemon deems suitable. His face would have huge rune covered horns on top like lorgars, forming an eight pointed star, with a flaming skull floating around them, his skin would be otherwise unblemished, even lacking runes and stuff, but his teeth are generic chaos lord spiky teeth, his eyes would change colour constantly and the iris would be shaped like an eight pointed star with the points pulsing in and out. The armour would be able to slither up around his head to form his helmet which would take the shape of a daemonic skull with extra blades jutting back were prominent features would be (cheeks chin brow etc). The armour would be word bearer crimson with silver lining and have lost soul faces occasionally forming on it's surface with lots of skulls and daemonic faces on the usuall places. Personality wise he would be in complete control of his emotions but because of this he indulges in them, each expression would be an extreme example and he would be almost bipolar in the way they change, e.g. when someone fails him, he would at first seem very understanding making sure that the person is all right and safe, then he would be melancholic, lementing his many failures, then he'd be paranoid, claiming the person failed him on purpose, the person would deny it and then he would appear relived before finally turning on the person and becoming unbelievably angry, killing the person were they stood in so violent a way that Khârn wouldn't take credit for the kill. He would also be somewhat of a thespian, almost comedically evil, but with that good old astartes ultra violence that chaos marines would have. Then i ate my burger!

If he's going to have horns, then his helmet should just cover them in a silver alloy, not bother with more spikes on his face. That's my opinion anyway. I also feel the flaming skull might make the image of him too 'crowded' though it is an interesting idea. As for his horns, if he has eight massive horns, it's going to look a bit ridiculous in proportion to his head. Why not tone them done a bit to be more like a +1 size Darth Maul horns? As for his personality, I feel like he would be incredibly difficult to write as a character if he switches between the extreme of any emotion he feels at a continuous pace. He should probably have one normal attitude, with one or two alter attitudes/feelings/emotions that come out when he's stressed or dealing with failures - simplifying it a bit to be bipolar/tripolar in a way. As for his age, Oden's background stretches to Olympia so he'd have to be from Earth to predate my character - which is an interesting irony. I really like that you came up with all that though and you have some great ideas!

Nineswords Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Nice job guys. I'll have mine up tomorrow, at some point. Haven't started writing yet due to work commitments. Really enjoyed the last few instalments. Are we going to hear from the Praetors of Mars and the Space Wolves?

Jake-Mulraney Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 I was thinking. What would be the regional name of the location where Gregor is? Sorry I have been very inactive this last week but I am on half term for college and it's been so hectic. I'm trying to write at each opportunity I get but I must admit, it's been hard. I've been reading all you're posts and I am very impressed. I only hope I can live up to the high standards set in my own posts. I am hoping to get a post up by Tuesday next week. Sorry for the long wait guys. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/7/#findComment-3080872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The funny thing is, I look at my posts a couple of days later and I think to myself, "I can do better than that..." It's not exactly fun, doubting onesself. :) I don't think I can help you with where you are, exactly, Jake. Maybe Nineswords or Grim can help.

King Willy Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Sorry I didn't post long work week, but any way just need to sought out a dialouge between Gregor and Mafez so it cann be typed in one post so jump on the messages jake As for the chaos lord The horns was thinking kinda crown like, so large and thick but not like a beastman or bloodletter in size, now that I think about it. Maybe make the skull a sought of familiar so it would be small relative to the astartes. His personality would be predominently disinterest in people, he only really sees the value of entire planets and great companies, seeing a single company of marines as just a small strike force, so in general he would just be neutral, trying to orchestrate the full war, then all his little underlings would be trying keep any failings a secret. But when he must get emotionally involved with lesser dealings he can't really deal with it right so we get this extreme mood swings.

Sorry for the long wait guys. We talked about using this for designating Continents though if you're looking for more of a regional name or location like the Black Forest in Europe or the Rocky Mountains rather than North America then that's up to you. Here was our system we discussed and it seemed to be accepted. So Asia would be Terra Alpha Gargan (Gargantuan or alternatively Terra Alpha Primaris) The Americas would be Terra Beta Largo (Large) Africa would be Terra Gamma Largo Europe would be Terra Delta Modes (Medium/Modest) Oceania would be Terra Epsilon Minor (Alternatively Minoris) So ; {Planet Name} {Order of Continents by Population/Size/Importance/etc} {Size of Continent} Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/7/#findComment-3081206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake-Mulraney Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 So Gregor is in the north in the Mead Marsh near the Basilica. The dead marsh would be one of the largest regions on Habron Secundus. How's "Habron Secundus Bravo Largo"? BTW I love the idea of the Chaos Lord.

Nineswords Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Guys, really sorry. I haven't finished my entry yet and only done a couple of paragraphs. My big problem this week is I have a book chapter for an architecture series to write/do drawings for, as well as do some complicated drawings for an exhibition. Obviously, I really enjoy writing the stuff but this weekend is not good for me. I'll post when I can. Can I suggest to Grim Apostle and Olisredan do another segment about combat with the Word Bearers in Agrippa? I'll get on this as soon as possible.

Real Life is a bigger priority than this at the end of the day. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next installment all the same though. I'm working on my novel today so I probably won't do much writing for War of Words, but I will have something for Tuesday for sure. So Gregor is in the north in the Mead Marsh near the Basilica. The dead marsh would be one of the largest regions on Habron Secundus. How's "Habron Secundus Bravo Largo"? That's just the system I came up with but that's great if you want to follow that. In regular conversation and for ease of typing, it would just shorten to Bravo-Largo (or B-L, B-Largo, Bravo-L, etc.) I guess.

Chapter Master Onyxius Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Name: Infernius Decimus Rank: Reaper Captain of the 2nd Assault Company Age: 600 years old Chapter: Inferno Guard Names and Ranks of his chosen: Legion Champion Adronius , Assault Veteran Caldoron, Assault Veteran Barrok, Assault Veteran Sergeant Diabolus, Assault Veteran Harnak Combat Style: Infernius is an excellent swordsmen, rivaling even the Lucius during the Great Crusade. He uses a complete frontal assault tactic, that the great Horus used during the Crusade. During battle he is aggressive using sword and power talon to kill his enemies in close combat Habits: Infernius Decimus is a skilled tactician within the Inferno Guard, but has a tendency to be very aggressive on and off the battle field. Strengths: Can lead a company while fighting in the midst of battle, and is a skilled swordsmen Weaknesses: Doesn’t care for non-Astartes warrior and pays little attention to them. Appearance: He wears the Infernum Diabolus armor. On his right should he has a skull wreathed in flames and his entire armor is engraved with bones and flames, which gives him an otherworldly affect. He wears his helmet all the time, except when he is on his battle barge. His face is gaunt and pale, and his pupils are blood red, which gives him a diabolic appearance. (Extremely) Brief history: At the age of six, instead of going to school, he taught himself how to use a sword. When he became eight, he was chosen by the Inferno Guard, to take the trials in order to become a neophyte. He passed the trials, and after 80 years of relentless training he was able to wear the black carapace. After another 200 years he was finally promoted to captain. After the being promoted to Captain, the Chapter called all companies to the homeworld, which they followed. Reaching their homworld, they fought a massive a battle against a daemon invasion, which resulted in a giant Warp Rift, all of the battle brothers where instantly aged a thousand years and many battle brothers became skeleton's within their power armor, but yet still alive. Infernius aged a lot, but didn’t suffer the resulting effects as badly as his fellow battle brothers did. Now the Chapter is fleet based and is presumed to be extinguished by the Imperium. Only the truth is, so much more. ships: Inferus Imperator (Battle-Barge) this battle barge was in existence even during the Horus Heresy, and carries a massive array of weapons so this is my character, wont be able to post anything until next week, first I need to learn the whole story sofar, then I can jump in. oh and btw I had greyall draw a picture of my character for me, so here he is: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/7/#findComment-3084130 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llagos_Tyrant Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Chapter Master Onyxius, We had recently decided that we would limit the number of people involved in the COWWOF to 7, which is the number we have reached currently. Given that we have had a recent dry-spell of posts and are just starting off still, I don't have a problem with you joining personally, and to be honest I think the more the merrier (we are in a whole system after all) but everyone's thoughts must be taken into account here. Not to put you on the spot here or anything, but what say you, writers of the COWWOF?

Llagos_Tyrant Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Apologies about the length and poor quality. Between Real Life and a bit of a lack of inspiration, I just couldn't pull much off tonight. If I have a chance and feel particularly inspired, I'll try to come up with a new post on the weekend. EDIT : Also, Nineswords, when we actually crossing paths? We agreed to stay on Habron Secundus until we met up and then the story would go from there, but it seems to be getting fairly close to reaching that point - at least for my guys. Send me a PM!

Nineswords Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hi all, Will be done with my current workload tomorrow after lunch, and I'll pick it up then and post straight away. Grim, Olisredan, I'll write the next instalment as us moving into the city and taking on a random squad of WB. Check the PM. I have no problem with the Inferno Guard, having not heard from Praetors of Mars nor the Space Wolves. - J Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/7/#findComment-3084512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
