UM Aligned Forge World(s) and Knight House(s)

[ronin_cse]

Hey all! As the title suggests: what are examples of Forge Worlds and/or Knight Houses that typically work with us? From my research it looks like Forge World Metallica and Knight House Terryn are located in the Ultramar sector (actually not positive on Terryn) so those seem likely, but I can't really find any actual examples. Also I imagine at this point Mars should be working well with us what with Guilliman being the new leader of the Imperium and all and having lots of interactions with Cawl.

 

Anyways please let me know so I can start planning out my next projects! Thanks! ;)

Metalica is geographically (astrometrically?) the obvious one and by extension, House Raven as their home world of Kolossi is right next door to Metalica. The other "close" Forge World is Accatran, but beyond a name on a map I don't think it's ever mentioned. I'm sure there's a Forge World in Ultramar itself, but I can't remember the name and given the recent upheavals to the background I don't want to speciulate. Other possible Knight houses are Terryn (Voltoris) and whoever the Knight house is on Orestes (which is also a Forge World and home of Legio Tempestus).

 

AFAIK, there's no Forge Worlds or Knight Houses that are closely alligned with the Ultramarines, unlike some other Imperial units such as other Marine Chapters and that Scion regiment.

Metallica with House Raven certainly seems like the most obvious. I especially like Metallica's color scheme as well so really I think I might have to repaint my slightly painted Ad. Mech. now ;)

That's what I'm planning, House Raven & Metalica AdMech to go alongside my Ultras. I even managed to score some of the Metalica transfer sheets that they released for an annoyingly limited time.

House Vornherr has strong ties with Ultramar at least until Calth were they were annihilated. It's the knight house I'm going to use for my Ultramarines.

 

But I don't have a clue if it is close to Ultramar locally.

Konor, Gantz and Anuaris are the named Forge Worlds located within Ultramar. I'm sure there are more though.

 

Konor is an interesting case since it was a Forge World during the before and during the Heresy and also hinted to be a relic from the Dark Age of Technology. It was downgraded to a research station after the Heresy but it seems to have become a Forge World again by the time of the Plague Wars.

 

Gantz is the moon of Konor and a Forge World in its own right. Which is curious since we now have the case of two Forge Worlds orbiting each other.

 

Anuaris is the main rival to Konor within the 500 Worlds in terms of production/importance. It was almost flipped by Horus to the traitors but it remained loyal in the end.

 

As for Titan/Knight Houses, here is a list of the named ones from 8th Edition:

 

Legio Fortis

Legio Atarus

Legio Oberon

Legio Praetor

 

House Terryn 

House Hawkshroud 

House Konor

Glad I found this thread as I was just about to start one with exactly the same theme.

I also want to add some Ad Mech elements to my Ultras / Macragge PDF and so was looking for Forge World's within the Ultramar system.

The only one I could find was Gantz which apparently is classified as a research staion rather than a Forge World due to internal politics within the Mechanicum. It is however for intents and purposes a Forge World but supplies exclusively to Ultramar.

I am sure there was another Forger World mentioned in the Horus Heresy novels though but I can't for the life of me remeber it's name. It's the one where Lorgar, Angron and Guilliman have a show down?

Anyway the point of my post is does anybody know if there's an official colour scheme for Gantz? I couldn't find one and don't have the Ad Mech codex but I'm hoping it's one I can create my own scheme for.
