The BL books have shown enough of Big Daddy Emps to show (in my eyes)that he's arrogant enough in regards to his manifest destiny of conquering the galactic sphere (The Last Church, anyone) to *think* he could have controlled them. Edited by The Psycho

I did like Last Church waaaaay more after finishing it than I thought I would even 3/4's of the way into it.

 

I love that it shows even the occasional mortal can be "immune" to the Emperor's Holier than Thou smoke and mirrors act. The Emperor's galactic policy can't be too hot (ha!) if someone would rather literally die in a fire.

It's still one of my favorites, yes even before Hlescreach (don't let the black Templars know :)). The main reason for it is that it actually covers soemthing besides Bolter Porn, I mean hey I love me some good action but sometimes I enjoy looking into the deeper things in life man.

 

Also Augustus do you know what white dwarf that is?

Hey Guys :smile.:

 

Was wondering if you think one of these models would be suitable for our new character, Ophion. All I can really tell about his appearance from the description is that his armour is covered in 'vicious barbs of serrated ceramite', he has a power axe, and power armour. So really, I'm looking for suitably spiky/sharp edged power armour, and these are the closest I can find. Plus they have axes, which look damn vicious :smile.:

 

Thoughts? alternative ideas?

oh, and Marshal, you still owe me a counter argument for the RoW :wink:

 

I will of course add a legion pad, and a flayed flesh cloak, as per our usual dress attire :D

Ah, the reavers. Hadn't considered them. I'll add them to the options, but I feel the command guys still have a bit more...character. Nonetheless I could see myself using the reaver parts at some point. Cheers Flint :)

Greetings fellow Night Lords. I am a new frater here and I want to join the ranks of our dread legion on this forum. 

 

At this stage I have yet not figured how should I call my warband or from which company they hail, but I was hoping for some feedback to help me with the decision. 

 

What I know is that I see my warband as hailing from one of the smallest companies, maybe a reserve formation, a second line company or an auxiliary outfit. I think that due to the legion being so large such minor units were always present, in all actions, though were never much deserving of glory, honorifics and tributes. I like my astartes being the working part of the legion, manning ships, protecting the infirmaries, serving as guards for the legion war machines, you know, the kinda guys who cut the spikes which were then used to impale people...

 

For my lord I usually use my Terminator Lord with the Kai Gun, one of the most prized parts in my collection and I envision him as being a capable naval commander (I have a thing for the Chaos battleships) but his personal achievements are not noteworthy but they played a part in many a minor or major offensive. He is the guy you put on that task that must be completed at all costs and in a legion of backstabbing cowards he is usually counted upon to complete the task. It is speculation if he is plain stupid or unambitious but I find it interesting that someone has to be that little guy who maybe gets mentioned in the end credits. 

 

The modus operandi for my warband is somehow standard for the legion. Either go all in when you have the upper hand or you get the hell out of there if someone jumps on you. If my marines go down they go down with curses and spits, laughing at the irony and the stupidity of it all, but mostly at their ill fortune. I tend to see them as smart marines in a way that they try to not overextend themselves or to play hero when the odds are against them, but this usually entails in them turning tail all too quickly. 

 

Personally I love Chaos Terminators and I love Chaos Raptors. Those are some of my favorite models and I would love to have a company which features them. Alongside that my warband, at least in my head canon, is nothing special save that they have a capital ship (an old BFG model) and a base on a mining world in the outskirts of the Eye of Terror. That capital ship was once one of the hospital ships for the legion and it is noteworthy because it still has a vast apothecarion on it. A cause for much conflict, raids and treaties with fellow Night Lords warbands (and others), and it is perhaps more worth than the entire warband put together.  

 

In short, I have not yet decided the name for my warband and former Night Lords company. I am not that good when comes to names, especially in High Gothic. I would also love some feedback on the ideas above and maybe some counseling when comes to naming my ships and my characters.

 

Ave Dominus Nox!

Check out page 1 pipistrello, the first few posts should have you covered for naming conventions of the guys here, and for a bunch of murderers I think we have one of the most friendly sections of the board!

Fill your boots dude :D

Welcome to the VIIIth Pipistrello! This thread may lapse in activity from time to time but the people here are really friendly as helterskelter said, we may use some strange humour to show it sometimes though.

 

If the 88th isn't claimed on the first page just feel free to claim it as yours. If you send a pm to Flint she will update the list.

Hey, who you calling backstabbing coward? Might be backstabbing but it's not cowardice if it's a tactical withdrawal...

 

That kinda of accusation causes all kinds of stabby related accidents.

 

Other than that welcome to the Legion, Brother Pipistrello.

On another note did they reckon the destruction of Nostromo in the new HH book from FW or is it the Nostroman System that the Ashen Claws are allegedly burning?

 

Edit: Reckon should read retcon

Welcome brother :)

 

 

 

Corsovitt, I think it the general Nostraman sector, planets around the area. I know that's where Ophion was heading, before it all went to hell. I don't think they'd forget Nostramo is in itty bitty pieces by now.
