Chief Captain Redd Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Demus Ragnok, you and I have very similar ideas for our legions. Mine is roughly based on the Anishinaabeg Native American tribes and clans, and the precolonial fur traders of Northern Michigan. Are you going loyalist or traitor? Mayhaps our Primarchs our could have a bit of a friendly brother rivalry like Ferrus and Vulkan at the forge? Loyalist. Fantastic! I have a feeling this could turn out to be pretty cool.

Chief Captain Redd Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think the two missing legions being cannon legions would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrawes Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 If you go the (cannon legions are missing legions) route, might I recommend you limit it to legions which in the cannon universe have some flaw that might warrant extermination? The space wolves have their wulfen mutation, the blood Angels have their red thirst. The thousand sons have the flesh change, and the word bearers worshiped the emperor. I think all of these flaws could warrant the legion to be missing under the different circumstances provided by the alternate universe. In comparison to the above, I find it hard to imagine a universe where Guilliman, Horus(without the events of theheresy) or Dorn could be viewed as flawed enough to be purged by the emperor with all records expunged.

simison Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Alright, I've updated the list and have added the rough draft of Loyalist/Traitor. Am I missing anyone? Hesh, how far have you gotten on your Primarch? I'm not putting the Jade General in this thread yet because I'm not sure if I'll need him. You make some solid points, Athrawes. I suggest we have one canon Loyalist and one canon Traitor to fill in the roles for the Missing Legions for our universe. As to who, I'm not so sure. My next goal is to go over the legion specialties. Since most of us were trying to fill in the niches that weren't covered, I suspect there'll be some overlap (like Pariah marines). Now, even if that's the case, I don't want anyone to shift their legion specialties. So long as no one is too alike in specialty and culture, we can make the overlap work and have it as part of our mythos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raktra Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Space Wolves for a missing legion because they're :cussING STUPID. Or... Blood Angels. Think about it - massive flaw that would warrant extermination, and in the "regular" Heresyverse, Raktra's already tried to kill Sanguinius repeatedly for being angelic. It's pretty much pre-written.

I've always wondered what your beef with Space Wolves is... although they do have the curse of the wulfen, which could well warrant extermination as well. I agree with SW and BA for lost legions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill go into more details at a later date, got a 3day metal festival this weekend so don't expect it too soon Suffice to say, I love Apothecaries and to have a legion so get ready to see a lot of em.

Doctor Perils Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Quick question : Are you thinking of still going down chaos route once people start turning traitor, or are you going to do something a tadge different, like a xeno-phile alliance or somesuch ? And are you going to keep other important elements of the normal time-line ? Ullanor, Nikaea etc. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Invictus Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'll take the 18th Legion Slot.

simison Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 It's amazing to me how many lost legion projects we actually have going on. The funny part? I know of at least one more Lost Legionnaire who hasn't shown up here. Which is good, because we only have one more spot available, so I might not have to bring in the Jade General. Lord Thorn, I'm not sure. There will definitely be an element of Chaos corruption, but, as you can see, we have a unique blend of Primarchs here with a couple of Pariah Primarchs thrown in. We could have the classic Heresy split, but I'm now seeing a potential for a three-way civil war to break out between Loyalists, Chaos-aligned, and Revolutionaries. As for the original major events? Very unlikely. Off the top of my head, I don't know if we have a Primarch like Magnus, sorcerous and getting into things he shouldn't in an obvious way. So, there will be no ban on legion psykers. It looks like we have a vast open plain for us to work a unique story here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simison Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Mikhal, since we are reserving the Missing legions for canon legions, I moved your legion into the 12th spot. I've decided to add the Jade General and his Warriors of Peace (?) legion. Now, we will have two canon elements. One, the Imperial Webway project. Two, as the GC goes on, the Emperor will spend progressively less time on his later found sons. Edited August 7, 2015 by simison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raktra Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Couple of more specific Berserker details, can't add too much because I'm on tiny bits of stolen 3G. Stupid forest house.

Sigismund229 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Seeing as AlphariusOmegon has signed my legion up, here's some specifics about them Homeworld: Mycenae. A world of forests and mountains on which the population is hunted by animals such as Stone Lions and Shadow hounds. Primarchs name: Hectarion Mycenor. Favoured tactics: Forming shield walls and then closing into close combat with the enemy and grinding them down until they're destroyed. Due to this, the Crimson Lions are very good at boarding actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Alexos is a psyker and a gene-scientist, he likes to fiddle with your genes and create a super-human monster out of you Aaand Kozja's not above trying to mix gene-seed strains in an attempt to get the best of each, with the goal to create to create the supreme legion, and uses the recipe for Thunder Warriors on his auxilia. Now, with that in mind, I have several ideas. One would be a Nikaea-style moratorium on geneseed tampering. With the concerned legion disregarding it as much as the psyker-heavy legions did Nikaea. Another, experiments getting systematically awry. Now, there seems to be a fair bit of overlap on our two legions concerning the augmentation thing. One suggestion would be having one go for quality, making masterpieces out of his warriors, while the other seeks to expand his legion to overwhelming numbers of unstable warriors.
