Or I'll just ask him by myself as he liked my post. ^^ Hello AshenCrow here. Been a huge fan of the brotherhood of the lost for so long now. I've been working on my own missing legion for close to a year now and after seeing this project I knew I wanted to do something like it. We currently don't have a public page yet as we are still getting all the legions sorted. but if you guys want I would be more than happy to drop you a link once we have one.

Kelborn Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 See, I knew Ashen Crows did sound familiar. Have to have a look on your Legion, mate. It's been a while. Sure, just drop a link in here. Don't hesitate to ask if you need some advice or help or a Legion or whatever. :P A network of common projects can only be a advantageous. :) TheAshenCrow 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I've begun delving into the Harbinger's fluff chapter...and have found way too many errors for my taste. Most of it is capitalizing 'Legion' and 'Space Marine' to match the FW standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 To my surprise, I dropped a hint that there is a known explanation of the Warmaster appointment in the LB's fluff chapter. Out of curiosity, is this knowledge the group is aware of? Also, it occurs to me that we really need a redbox detailing the Qarith Empire. Finally, I'm curious how Chaos corrupts the various Celestial Orders for its own purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I wasn't aware that there was an explanation. Yes for the Quarith. Should show how dangerous they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I wasn't aware that there was an explanation. There's always been an explanation, but I haven't found a good place to put it into the rulebooks or stories. Simply put, the Emperor believes the Ghost Crusade is a higher priority than the Warmaster position. As such, he does not want Icarion to be distracted from his duties as the overall commander of the Ghost Crusade, which is why Icarion is removed as a potential Warmaster in the Emperor's eyes. With that done, Alexandros, as the natural second pick, is chosen for his veterancy and political skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hmmm. Honestly i like the vague situation i believed was bronon better. Not knowing why is to me more powerful thant the ghost crusade explanation. Keep the veil of mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluntblade Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'm inclined to present interpretations from different individuals and groups. Perhaps mention the GC one in the Harbingers section, but mingle it with their fears of being overlooked and cast aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Captain Redd Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hey random question! Could we add an Astartes Stormhammer? I adore the tank and I feel like it'd be something the Legions would use during the Insurrection. Like replace the hull lascannon to a Demolisher cannon, side sponsors to Vukites or Assault cannons etc… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grifftofer Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Ok. So I'm working a bit on 8th Edition rules for the BotL Legions in this google spreadsheet. If anyone wants to check it out feel free. I will also be on Discord all evening if you want to talk hobby or rules (Grifftofer#3849). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 You got on there quick (like within 30secs of me posting ). No comments to make? Since its pretty early on and not complete yet, no; but, the deconstruction of the 8th ed CT and how we could go about making ours was a good idea/example and, so far, most of what I'm seeing is pretty good. I especially liked the formatting of the individual legion tabs. The Rules Summary section, have some thoughts but its not pressing; mostly on how to improve the readability of the section.

Do you mean the New Rules tab? Because everything outside of the one labeled as 8e was written a few months ago to keep track of the 7e rules/units for the Brotherhood.

simison Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 It's not an Astartes vehicle already? Nope just Auxilia and Army so far. Is there a particularly strong reason for this? Also, since Redd and Blunt are tweaking the IB chapter, I'm going to start bouncing back and forth between the Preview and Book 2, until the tweaking is done.

bluntblade Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 I've also realised the Scions have two Structure sections, so I'm going to consolidate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm mistaken, book 1 of the HH says that Legio Astartes may use any Imperial super heavy tank. So as long as that still stands we're okeydoke.

bluntblade Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Time may be restricted this week (work is on day two and full panic mode has set in) but I'm going to go over the Iron Bears' lore and work in the changes Redd and I come up with. Will turn my attentions to the Godslayers after that or if work on the Bears stalls. Then The Drowned, and I'll sling some questions to Athrawes, as I've had a couple of ideas for Madrigal and the Lightning Bearers.

simison Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 So, as much as I hate to increase the workload, do we really need to divide Expansion into two or three books instead of the minibook idea we're currently working with? It had been my hope that it wasn't necessary. After all, after the bombastic Day of Revelation ambushes, we really don't see entire Legions throwing themselves against each until the Battle of the Forge. Instead, this was supposed to be a 10-year period of low-level war for the Legions (if not for the poor Imperial Army) as both Icarion and Alexandros tried to conserve and build up Legion strength and numbers during this time. But we are still talking about an entire decade of war that rapidly redraws the Galactic map. And we are uncomfortably trying to fit two galactic campaigns (the Galactic center and the Eastern Front) into just minibooks. Can we pull it off?
