simison Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It's been 24 hours, and the 'more focus' vote carries. From now on, one cannot propose the 'Imperial Army' or the 'Mechanicum', but it has to be a specific sub-faction, either a formation such as the Heredes or a Forge World. Something of equivalent size and character to a Legion. As such, we have one vote for the Heredes, which I will count because I don't believe they received a single entry in the Imperial Army month.

bluntblade Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'll do Zivich, Toho or Blinstrubas, not sure which yet. My concern here is that if we focus on a single one out of all Houses, Legios etc. we'll never get anything on most of them. For the same reason I suggest Heredes come under a banner of elite mortal armies, as the Tricendian Auxilia and Daughters are in dire need of attention too.

simison Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 A fair point, but what would be the halfway point for the Knight Houses? The Titan Legios?

TheBlindPrimarch Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Considering that the Knight Houses and Titan Legios are smaller organizations than the Imperial army or the Mechanicus, maybe leaving them open ended is still ok as there is a finite number of knight houses and Legios to pick from.

bluntblade Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think so. I think we should've started out with a clear line demarcating regular and elite mortal armies, even if in retrospect the Medusan Steelshod rank among the latter.

simison Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 What about the Mechanicum? Any other factions we need to demarcate? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331712-botl-monthly-fluff-challenge/page/25/#findComment-5017862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlindPrimarch Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Well as far as I know the only Mechanicus faction we have are the Abyssii. That's another thing...when we're not doing legions I think the challenge should focus on AU unique factions before established organizations like the Imperial army/ Mechanicus. Does that make sense?

bluntblade Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Cognis, Sim. Maybe Akira Taghmata and Hephaestus for Book 3 too. Thing is, we're not writing about any established faction within those. It's still AU material that we've made up.

It makes sense and I do encourage it, but I don't want to force that as a requirement. Cognis, Sim. Maybe Akira Taghmata and Hephaestus for Book 3 too. I meant, how would you divide the Mechanicum a level above a Forge World, but a level below the entire Mechanicum.

simison Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Not sure you could, Sim. In which case, the boundaries are currently as of your and Blind's suggestions: All Knight Houses All Titan Legios Mechanicum Forgeworld Elite Mortal Regiment Standard Mortal Regiment Other force (Custodians?)
