simison Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Let's give it a shot. If the list seems to be lacking, perhaps we can recycle it into an early Great Crusade period.  Fact #1: The original Lightning Bearers were not drawn from any one region, but instead were selected for their genetic purity. They would eventually take their name in homage to the Thunder Warriors, seeing themselves as the natural successor to the unstable yet early pioneers of the Emperor's gene-enhanced warriors. Fact #2: Although inducted next, the Second Legion would never serve in the Unification Wars and was kept apart from the other Legions during development, leading to whispered rumors over their status. It would not be until 10 years into the Great Crusade would the II Legion deploy in open combat en masse. Fact #3: Likewise, the Third Legion would run into troubles with its gene-seed that delayed its deployment until after several of its brother Legions made their way to the frontlines. Unlike the Second, the Third Legion would not miss the Unification Wars, bloodying itself in the Shakletian Desert. Edited February 2, 2018 by simison ShadowSwordmaster 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329759-general-discussion-secundus/page/116/#findComment-4996144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

simison Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I have an announcement. Blind and I have agreed to open up an official writers exchange program between Brotherhood of the Lost and the War of Light. The current idea is that WoL members will contribute towards the Monthly Fluff Challenge and potentially other pieces, and we will do likewise in return.  The program is voluntary, and we'll hopefully have more details ready soon enough. MikhalLeNoir, Raktra, foamy248 and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329759-general-discussion-secundus/page/116/#findComment-5004087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demus Ragnok Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) How far would a primarch be able to throw something (realitively small) before it became unreasonable.

Chief Captain Redd Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hmmm… so at first I was inclined to just say really far, because of their supernatural/superhuman nature; but! I remembered I'm a literal physicist and I would be doing a disservice to my entire field if I didn't slap some science! on this. Unfortunately, we only have a couple of Primarch upper limits of strength being shown, with Angron lifting a Warhound, and Vulkan moving a Baneblade out of his way. A Warhound weighing 412 tonnes and a Baneblade coming in at 319 tonnes. Now if it was the same muscle groups as throwing being used and we had a tonne more data, we could simply look at mass moved over distance and velocity and go from there. But we don't, so I used a relative formula, I as a very large, strong human being can push 3 tonnes as Vulkan did and I can throw a seven kilo shotput about 20 meters so simple 20x106=2120 as a rough relative. But having that extra Primarch stuff I'd say 4-5 kilometres for something under 20 pounds. Sorry I can't be more accurate. simison, Sigismund229, ~Drakzilla~ and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329759-general-discussion-secundus/page/116/#findComment-5005046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

simison Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Happy Valentine's Day!  Have some research.  Individuals with the 'Marked by Dark Fates' rule Abaddon Khârn Erebus Endryd Haar (Loyalist WE) Ahriman  I am surprised Typhus/Calas doesn't have it since it seems to be used for the Chaos arch-champions. Even more surprised to see a Loyalist Agent of the Emperor have it as well.  So, that's 5 individuals over 7 books, and primarily favors the Traitors. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329759-general-discussion-secundus/page/116/#findComment-5010985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Now to move from the theoretical to the practical.  While I know that we are trying to hide our Arch-Champions, I think it's going to look really weird if we don't have any Traitor heroes with this rule. So, I think we should use it, but how often we should use it? Because any character that does get it, we are committing them out-lasting the Insurrection, if not outright lasting until the End Times.  So, we either use it sparingly and outright give it to a couple of Arch-Champion candidates with one or two of them being fake. They might last 6,000 years instead of 10,000 years.  Alternatively, we use it liberally, with the 'fakes' outnumbering the actual winners by a large degree. This, of course, means we are committing a lot of villains to surviving the Insurrection, and it might have the meta blowback of us coming off as special snowflakes.  I don't see an easy answer for this one.

bluntblade Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm inclined to say scratch the rule, as it only affects campaigns anyway.

Chief Captain Redd Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Well the rule does have it's benefits in campaigns, and two of our big characters have it with Raiden and Redd. I say we hand it out as per normal, we can preview the hidden champion characters without it and only add it add publishing.

Kelborn Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I thought our champions were fairly well-known by now, or is that just inter-BotL knowledge? Well, I'd need a refreshment on who our champions are again? Â Generally the three god Legions plus one for Tzeentch? Â As the bulk of the remaining Preds become Malal's servants, would they have one as well?
