Brother_Vaas Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hi After a bit of advise here, i am trying to come up with background of the Skull Bearers and looking on lexi it notes that they took place in the Imbach Genocide - I have searched and searched but cannot find any additional information other than the 2nd Company (mine) took part. Nothing regarding the other combatants or why they were included or indeed where this took place How would you proceed with this if you were writing the fluff?

Valkyrion Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 There is nothing else anywhere about it, it's just a tiny little snippet under a picture of a whirlwind helios in IA2. The only other time Imbach is mentioned is in regards to the 'race that cannot be mentioned', which has long since fallen out of canon, but could be a subtle nod by the FW guys. So Grunhag led his host to Wyss, encamped upon the plain of Swend. Proud Hargan and rich Erlach fell, destroyed and ravaged and defiled. "You see my power" Grunhag quoth, "Let Imbach see and quake in fear, and pay me treasure, wealth and slaves" he added with a sneer. Lord Uri sat in Imbach's hall, his brow as hard as knotted flint. "No Ork shall take our folk as slaves, nor what we win from laden rock, while one in Imbach still draws breath" he told proud Grunhag "Nothing here is yours except an Ork-shaped hole and headstone with your name." Called Imbach to the vain Eldar, "Your enemy is at our gates. Come to our aid against your foes, together let us lay them low." The Eldar never made reply, but left fair Imbach to the Orks. "We fight alone, then" Uri said "Our friends leave us to die".-from The Fall of Imbach Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277108-notable-campaings-no-gw-details/#findComment-3397946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Vaas Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I did see that on Lexicanum but dismissed it to be honest, since that race "never existed" is how I understad GW's latest stance to be since a lot of the older books have them edited out. Hmmm not sure how I can go with this Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277108-notable-campaings-no-gw-details/#findComment-3397955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I prefer to think of it in the way that the Nid codex changed things in 2nd ed - the homeworlds got et by the Devourer early on (before the Imperium knew about Nids at all) and the statistically few remaining survivors are so small a number that they were only ever a generation or two from final extinction (which has probably happened by now).

Brother_Vaas Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Well to avoid any contention within my fluff I think that I will set Imbach as an imperial world with the genocide as the Skull Bearers cleansing of a non imperial cult, just got to select a secotr and what particular cult they eradicated Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277108-notable-campaings-no-gw-details/#findComment-3398043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
