Grifftofer Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Ok. In order to not distract from other important topics I thought I would make a thread for working on the map. This is where I will post updates, but also where I'd like people to comment if they have suggestions for alterations or if I screwed up and put your Home planet in the wrong Segmentum. I would also like to get names for important locations, either for the Great Crusade or for the Insurrection itself. It's a lot of work reading back through the many threads we have here so if you could help me by putting a list of important locations for your faction in here I'd be very appreciative. If you could give me a rough idea for location too that would be great http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn171/Grifftofer/Map%20Attempt_zps53guetdh.jpg This is where we stand to start with. I used the info that you gave to simison to try and put all the homeworlds in roughly the right places, for those that gave locations. If it doesn't look right tell me and I'll try and move you to the right place. Where places seem to be located in different locations depending on source (Stygies & Gryphonne at least) I've used the FW location. Cognomen - Primarch - Homeworld Lightning Bearers - Icarion Anasem - Madrigal Space Wolves - Leman Russ - Fenris Crimson Lions - Hectarion Mycenor - Mycenae Void Eagles - Yucahu - Coabanna Halcyon Wardens - Alexandros Von Salim - Delos Iron Bears - Daer'dd Niimkiika - Huron Berserkers of Uran - Raktra - Uran Godslayers - Koschei - Zbruch Warbringers - Kozja Darzalas - Strela Fire Keepers - Niklaas - Obsailes Thousand Sons - Magnus - Prospero Wardens of Light - Gwalchavad - Caerbannog Eagle Warriors - Alexos Travier - Mexicatii Prime Dune Serpents - Azus - Dhul'hasa Grave Stalkers - K'awil Pakal - Kabyieb The Drowned - Sorrowsworn Morro - Styx Warriors of Peace - Jade General - Han Stygian Jackals - Wilym Jackel - Fugion Scions Hospitalier - Pionus Santor - Iona Ghost Walkers - Coch'ise - Teutoberge Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315460-ref-loc-map-of-the-galaxy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Okay, now that I'm not looking at this from my phone, it's a lot different than the map I was using. Could you also link homeworld to legion in the description? I'm still learning the names.

AlphariusOmegon108 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The Mexicatii system (Home of the Eagle Warriors) is positioned in the very very very top of the obscurus system, to the furthest left, kinda in the void really. A very lone system. And Xandra is placed right next to the ghoul stars (Main forge planet of the Cognis) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315460-ref-loc-map-of-the-galaxy/#findComment-4210720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrawes Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Looks good, Sarum is well placed, but it is geographically above (on the map) the Maelstrom. Madrigal should on the northeast boarder of the Maelstrom, between it and the galactic core. So a good way to judge that location (going off your map), would be to draw a straight line to Sarum from Madrigal (where it is now). Have that line go through Sarum half again as far and that is where Madrigal would be.

Grifftofer Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Cool. have updated the first post with Legion, Primarch and Homeworld info. Will look to add planets and move things around in the morning :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315460-ref-loc-map-of-the-galaxy/#findComment-4210735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demus Ragnok Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Draw a line from Coabana to Iona. Half way between the two is Obsailes. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315460-ref-loc-map-of-the-galaxy/#findComment-4210770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Squig Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 *swoons* This is some great work Grifft. My planets are virtually perfect as well (mostly because I had barely any idea myself of where they were).

MikhalLeNoir Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah. Caerbannog is exactly there.located where the lost son is found. Great work here;) And fun thing is, that nobody has grabbed the same spot.

Grifftofer Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yeah. I was initially a little worried that people might want to be in the same areas, so we'd get a cluster effect going on. But it seems like we're reasonable spread out. Pacificus seems a little empty, but it would be, due to the lower density of stars. Anyways. I've updated the first post with the extra locations. Does anyone want to put Exemplary battle locations on here too? There's probably enough space for a couple at least. Either that and/or we could put down the ambush locations for the opening of the Insurrection.

MikhalLeNoir Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 In have no name yet but an exempmary battle for the pre wardens where they meet a giant org waagh and fresh as they were they underestimated it, should be not to far away from terra Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315460-ref-loc-map-of-the-galaxy/#findComment-4211256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grifftofer Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yep. If you have important planets that won't be on top of one another I'll add them. I won't guarantee all will stay for the final version, as some editing my be required to avoid it potentially becoming too cluttered. However I won't be biased in favour or against Legion assets, intentionally at least.

Hesh Kadesh Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ultma Segmentum for Styx, perhaps 10 hexes 'north' of Madrigal. Seems like a good place that the Lightning Bearers and Wolves could be operating in at the time he was found. There is a dark 'void' between the Star clusters around that point. Somewhere in there seems kinda give good placements. I will second third and fourth all comments regarding the brilliance and effort you have gone to. I cannot remember if I ever thabked you for the pdfs you sent over, but these look absolutely incredible.

Talonair Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 In that case, Nox would be best suited either below Obsailes in the Veiled Region, or somewhere between Iona and Accatran if the first area is getting too crowded Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315460-ref-loc-map-of-the-galaxy/#findComment-4211611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ok, updated again. I added Nox in southern Ultima as it felt like there should be more in that due to star cluster density. If you hadn't given me the option though I wouldn't have done so. Also Hesh you are quite welcome. Thank you everyone for all your supportive comments. It's very affirming to have such positive feedback. Now if only I could channel some of my enthusiasm into my writing :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315460-ref-loc-map-of-the-galaxy/#findComment-4211624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hey ho, I hile reading to betrayal once more. I would move the position of caerbannog a little mkre the the fronter line of the void. Just a little si that the planet is exactly on the forth line of the fronter lines left.

Sigismund229 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Question: Will the Lions empire be marked on the map? Because if it will I need to start deciding what its borders are Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315460-ref-loc-map-of-the-galaxy/#findComment-4212759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 I wasn't planning on it specifically. Though I could potentially mark down the domains/empires of specific legions/factions with map labels. So it wouldn't have defined borders, more of a this general area is the domain of the Crimson Lions. It's something I can add in for now, but I suspect they would be relatively low on the scale of importance so would be removed first if I need the space.
