WarriorFish Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Heretics are outside of the penal system though, so you wouldn't have them being used given the Imperium shoots first and arrests afterwards. If by "arrests" you mean "set on fire" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305631-nielfheim-planetary-guard-the-2ssf-and-the-172ad-wip/page/6/#findComment-4113323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Yeah, I get that, but heresy comes in many forms, some more overt than others. It's kind of the "I tattooed this 8-pointed star on my face to make everyone think I'm bat insane" rather than actual heresy. If they've secretly become a worshipper, then at least when a daemon comes exploding out of their anus it'll be among a bunch of other disposable rejects. Who will then be put to the torch immediately... That's just a thought though, I may go with the reservist Idea.

WarriorFish Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 It's more a case of no matter why they have an 8 pointed start they'll be shot on sight for it. That and this is 40k, where just having the symbol may well actually end up doing something! It's a core part of the universe so I'm afraid there is no way around it, short of making your army heretical enough to tolerate it...

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 You're right. My world of Nieflheim was lost to the Imperium for 8000 years, where they continued to follow a version of the imperial truth (Some of the Ancient religions still persist as philosophical thought, but scientific thought prevails) and upon the revelation of Chaos, they feel that to fear it is to give it power. Which is what led to the chaos incursion on their world to fall flat. Instead of purging the heretic for their worship of dark gods, they purge them for their detrimental behavior, because that is tangible. The Nieflung, being a very practical people, have little use for that which is intangible. This view has changed somewhat with the realization that "worship" of the chaos gods can have tangible effects other than the beat, murder, disease, and subversion, of valuable people. They now know that it can bring threats to their doorstep. Usually When a cult is found it gets eradicated, as it is a threat to their society. If I do the cultists, I'll probably remove the chaosy bits as best I can. I'm also going to do conscripts of regular guardsmen models.

WarriorFish Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 You can't beat a full army shot - shows how its all worth it! Great to see so many Guardsmen, ranks of troops always looks good :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305631-nielfheim-planetary-guard-the-2ssf-and-the-172ad-wip/page/6/#findComment-4118417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Agreed, and there are a few ways I can arrange it, I'm really liking 10 man stormtrooper squads though, which would eat up the guys from my melta squad. I'm not really sold on the SWS, because they can't take a transport in the normal codex, so that kind of hurts them. HWS don't need to move as much so the lack of DT doesn't hurt them so much. I'm going to go ahead and start working on an armored regiment supplement.

Vel'Cona Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Great to see it all together, Ulrik! Psyched to see your armored forces start taking shape.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 For now the plan is for 2 more chimeras, 2 vanquishers and 4 leman russ battle tanks, and 2 hydras/wyverns. That's just starters, I want to have 6 LRBT, 4 LRVT, and 4 hydras/wyverns. That's got to take a back seat to other things right now.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 So if anyone is interested I've started a Fanfiction here, that follows a squad of Stormtroopers from the 2SSF on an adventure with the Inquisition.
