bluntblade Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Gwaelyn LorthrykBaroness of House Lorthryk, Tyrant of Gulaka, Slaughter’s MistressBaroness Gwaelyn was only twenty seven years of age when she rose to command House Lorthryk after a costly battle against an Ork empire. Nonetheless she did so with a tally of slaughter far longer than what was expected of so young a scion, even in this notorious House. Within the grim alliance that Raktra built around his Legion, she achieved a rare power, almost equal to the masters of the Legio Yharma.Six years into her reign, House Lorthryk followed the Berserkers of Uran into betraying the Emperor. Fanatically loyal to the Ashen King, Baroness Gwaelyn led her scions in a fresh chapter of atrocities that exceeded anything the savage Knights had committed before, and the Tyrant of Gulaka became a source of fear across the Imperium.

Raktra Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Been way too long since I did anything! So, with that in mind, there’ll be a new character done tonight, as crunch-wise, I’m replacing Kehl. Much as I like him, a slow, durable, average-melee unit is not what marks out the ‘serkers, so he needs changing out. I shall post more in an hour or two!

Its hooked cutting edges snag and tear at soft tissue and sinew, leaving its victims twitching in a pile of their own useless limbs.S+1, AP2, Debilitating Strike, Melee, Specialist Weapon Sadistic: Slynnat's melee attacks may never cause Instant Death, regardless of special rules or respective strength and toughness values.

simison Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Some observations of my experiences as an officer in prison: The one thing inmates don't like is change. One of my instructors said inmates secretly crave discipline, but I suspect that inmates crave familiarity. These are individuals who have been deprived of a number of freedoms and liberties, and want some kind of guarantee that the system that has chained them is functioning smoothly. That could be for the positive ("I know that we will get recreation every day") or the negative ("Where are the loopholes in the system and can I continually exploit it?"). Any new authority figure will be challenged. This is in part of developing a new familiarity or to see how much more or less they can get away with the new authority. It's guaranteed. Any informal system beneath the formal system will exist only if there is an inmate with a great deal of authority. Otherwise, if that is absent and the formal authority is weak, it's a free for all. *shudders* Staying occupied is a major concern. Boredom is one of the chief tormentors of a prison and will lead to an inmate doing all kinds of things to keep it at bay. Surprisingly, it's not hard to find a lot of music in a prison. Rap is obviously a huge part of it in an American prison, but I'm curious if Uran would have any musical traditions/schools to help deal with the harsh environment. Not necessarily a positive influence either. The lyrics I've heard in prison does not encourage a positive view of the human spirit.

Unless we don't count Shepherd-centric stories.) FW Fluff Segment (10k? words) History: 15% - Complete Organization: 15% - Incomplete - (Legion Org section is too short) Exemplary Battles: 15% - Complete Crunch Legiones Astartes & Wargear: 5% - Incomplete - (Don't know if they have banner quotes) Rite of Wars: 5% - Incomplete - (Have not been reviewed) Unique Units: 5% - Incomplete - (Not yet reviewed) Unique Characters: 5% - Incomplete - (N.Y.R.)

Raktra Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Blunt and I can probably burn that all out in a week or so. Mainly Blunt on the long form obviously, but the unit entry fluff I can hammer out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) You know, if there's one thing I'd rather put in its own anthologies, it's the BL-style fluff. Partly because I can't muster inspiration to go chasing word count. Edited April 26, 2019 by bluntblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluntblade Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) VIIth Legion Destroyer Terminator Centurion Thanatus Vagraedon 17th Company, The Blood Boilers, The Blackening Scourge Centurion Vagraedon's topknot signifies his Cthonian origins - though the runes on his armour demonstrate considerable immersion in Uran's culture - which he shared with many among the Blackening Scourge. Recruited a year after Raktra took command of his Legion, he demonstrated an aptitude for destruction and a cold disregard for life which his superiors found commendable. In short order he was assigned to the Blackening Scourge's destroyer units, and rose to join the infamous Blood Boilers (this image is composited from picts taken prior to that elevation; once inducted, a Blood Boiler would never have his armour cleaned unless filth and gore impeded its function). Within this heartless brotherhood he would reap a tally of lives which ran into the thousands before the Great Crusade's end. On Hazat and several other worlds, he would build on that frightening toll, rendering soldiers and civilians alike into nothing but organic slurry.

bluntblade Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) VIIthLegion Praetor Overlord Nychus The Burned Eyes Nychus ascended to rose to the rank of Chieftain soon after the Fourth Rangdan Xenocide, during the Berserkers’ campaigns in the Ghoul Stars, and became Overlord of the Burned Eyes Horde in the Garhoylt Purges. While no match for the Ashen Host or the Angel Rippers, the Burned Eyes were a mighty Horde in their own right. Commanding them, Nychus earned a dark fame indeed, known for both his skilled use of tanks and Titans, and his unstinting cruelty. In the aftermath of Kartyg he demonstrated both, visiting scorched-earth attacks on a dozen planets. Unleashed against Subsector Chalcea, Nychus was one of the first Overlords to deploy and the Burned Eyes fought throughout the campaign. While Nychus operated under Raktra for the majority he did undertake a handful of independent planetary campaigns, committing a string of massacres all his owns. The most notorious of these was the Butchery of Jantoya, in which his forces destroyed that world’s proud Army regiment and wiped its six hives clean of life in three days of unbridled atrocity. Nychus would trouble the Imperium for the rest of the Insurrection and another decade after the Siege of Terra, until his death at the hands of an erstwhile brother, Aegar Vyrn of the Shepherds of Eden. Nychus’ Mk III warplate bears the marks which distinguish a VIIth Legion Overlord, most notably crossed chains over the chest. Also note the Uranian rune on his right knee, which denotes the Horde’s origins in the forges and furnaces of Uran’s vast labour complexes, and their more ornate sigil on his right pauldron. The whip symbol on his vambrace is derived from War Maniple Scatha of the Legio Yharma, who were oathed to the Burned Eyes from the Legio’s founding. His weaponry is of a singularly savage bent; a chainsword and power claw, with an inbuilt hand flamer.
