Augustus Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Like the title says I'm interested in information about the recruitment practices during this time period. Particularly if and what differences there are between the two time periods. We have seen the WB expand their recruitment worlds. The WE never had a homeworld. Another question I wish to address is whether you think the Dark Angels would recruit from other worlds during the Heresy. It stands to reason that they would in order to attempt to keep stable numbers during the Thramas crusade; however there may be reasons why they wouldn't. Thoughts?

Well, after Nostramo, the Night Lords picked up a habit of kidnapping children from other worlds and are then described as accelerating the implantation process and heavily brainwashing the recruits. The World Eaters were described as doing something similar by picking up children survivors of the worlds they came across. As for the DA, honestly, I don't know. Fallen Angels makes it out there is a Legion-size batch of recruits just sitting at Caliban. Of course, this was built up over a matter of decades. At the same time, the larger Legions seem to have at least either have a habit of picking up recruits everywhere they go or having more than a few worlds(I'd hazard at least four since the Salamanders are "one of the smallest" and they only have three). So what we know would suggest a practice of picking up children, or having more than two recruitment worlds. Actually, the network of recruitment worlds might make sense since it gives the 1st Legion a supply of recruits to fall back on after the destruction of Caliban.

Augustus Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thank Kol for the information. I remember reading a short story where a space wolf implies that a world would make a fine place to recruit future marines. In that short story in the Imperial Truth Corswain says there are 20k marines on Caliban. I'm no Primarch but it seems reasonable that during the Thramas crusade to make use of slain Legionaries' gene-seed. Man. I wonder what traits a NL recruit had to show to make it in the legion post Nostramo.

Kol Saresk Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well, since after Nostramo the Night Lords went full purge, I'd imagine that anyone who survived those purges probably had the suitable traits to survive in a Legion of psychopaths.

Kol Saresk Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 terra necromunda phares and inwit to be more clearIn 40K, yes. We don't know if Phares and Necromunda are HH/GC era recruitment worlds.I do like how black legion just take other marines from other chapters going from smallest to biggest by ten than any othe traitor legionYeah, that is how the Black Legion operates. However, the Black Legion does not exist yet in 30K, there is only the XVI, which is currently the Sons of Horus. And they have Cthonia for a homeworld with Terra on the side and unknown number of other recruitment places.

Kol Saresk Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well, the topic is titled Heresy/Great Crusade Era Recruitment. That would be before the Scouring. Even then, the Black Legion didn't exist until after the Scouring, when we start getting into the Legion Wars in the Eye of Terror where the Traitors start taking shots at each other and one day Abaddon says "enough is enough", takes the Sons of Horus that were with him at the time and creates what would become the Black Legion.

Augustus Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I case a good question to ask is why would they limit themselves to a certain homeworld. Why would the White Scars limit themselves to Chogoris. Having read Scars one could argue that the Legion's method of war was dependent on the homeworld. Perhaps similar to the Salamanders. Thousand sons? Yes. Space wolves? Probably (despite the statement given by a space wolf) As Kol suggests the method of war of the Night Lords would create potential candidates.

Marshal Rohr Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Most legions have a home world and a ton of fief worlds. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286562-heresygc-era-recruitment/#findComment-3588982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Before their Primarch is found, the majority of recruits come from Terra first and proximal worlds second. After the discovery of their Primarch, the majority came from their home world first, far outweighing the old majority from Terra, and various fiefdoms second. Those without home worlds, or fiefdoms, instead primarily recruited from worlds visited by the Legion. And this general approach varies Legion by Legion. The Space Wolves and White Scars are almost entirely from their respective home worlds. The Ultramarines are more fiefdoms than home world. The Imperial Fists may very well have kept their Terrain recruitments up. The Night Lords and Word Bearers had a home world they received recruits from but also recruited heavily from visited worlds. So on and so forth. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286562-heresygc-era-recruitment/#findComment-3589028 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Eremon Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think Bodt was primarily a muster world. Recruits may have come from there, though.
