New Legions

[talos402000]

So, where do I sign up for this and what Legion numbers are up for grabs?

[simison]

This thread will work just fine. As for numerals, fifth, Fourth, And eighth, I believe. Those three are taken

[talos402000]

I like it. We are in need of some void specialists.

[The Wolfguard]

I'd like to register interest, I used to write a lot and always wanted to get into writing for 40k so this may help me get some creative juices flowing, maybe.

 

I'll take first legion if it isn't already taken, is there anything like discord or a way to contact yourself about it? I may need somebody to bounce ideas off! :)

[Fire Golem]

I’m potentially interested in trying my hand at writing a Legion for this, although I don’t really have a starting point yet. 

[Lord_Ikka]

I've got something brewing in my skull for the XVth legion. Should have an outline in a day or two.

The first legion is open, though, be warned, the First will have to be generalist to a degree. One of the other members mentioned about sharing a Discord invite. I gave him one, and I think it was going to go to you. I'm off tomorrow, so if you don't have that invite in the next 12 hours, send me a PM, and I'll set you up.

That's fine. Do you have any ideas? Preferences? If not, I'm preparing a list of possibilities if you need additional direction.

Excellent. Looking forward to it.

Hey, that's absolutely fine if you mean generalist in the way they fight. I had rough ideas of crossing Minotaurs over with a bit of Perturabo's cold mindset, I have some ideas floating around now and could get something written up. I'd love to get in the Discord if it makes it any easier my name on it is Kristian#1920 for adding.

 

Thinking of a first legion that is immensely driven to try and be the best of the legions due to being the first found, with a primarch that is cold and efficient (think Perturabo) and an immense amount of mistrust for others, with a strong brotherhood that is shared with nobody else. I suppose an upscaled Minotaurs makes sense, coming up with fluff for the homeworld now but I got ideas.

[TrajantheGreat]

Invite sent via PM.

[simison]

Thank you, Trajan.

 

Also, about the Lost Legions. Traditionally, they are the Second and Eleventh, but Talos wants Second. Anyone want to offer an alternative set? Or, are you willing to change your mind, Talos?

[TrajantheGreat]

11 and 13?

 

EDIT: just noticed the Sky Reavers are 13th, nevermind.

Edited February 2, 2020 by TrajantheGreat

[Lord_Ikka]

3rd and 12th maybe? Keeping the same spacing as the original Lost Legions. Edited February 2, 2020 by Lord_Ikka

[talos402000]

I'd like to keep the Second Legion as is, let's  just wait and see which numbers nobody else wants. Kind of like a process of elimination. Also the Second Legion Thread has been started with part one the Legion's organization. Also is there a shorter name than Ware of the Eightfold Path we can use? You know, like how "Horus Heresy" is just shortened to "the Heresy"?

Probably. It'd have to be a name that captures the slow thrashing the Imperium takes. Perhaps "the Fall"?

I would be interested in taking over a legion if you are in need of more people. I've been working on a Mandalorian (old Cannon) themed Chaos Undivided legion for some time now.

Hello there, are you looking to take over a pre-existing legion without a leader or using your own legion?

[Chaplian Belphoron]

I'd prefer to use my own Legion, although I am willing to do either.

[simison]

We have enough room for you to do your own legion.

[Chaplian Belphoron]

Cool. I'll give a quick synopsis of my ideas here. Also if possible I would like an invite to your Discord server if one exists.

That's fine. Do you have any ideas? Preferences? If not, I'm preparing a list of possibilities if you need additional direction.

I tend to gravitate to the sneakier legions, and loyalists over traitors.

We haven't got a stealth legion yet, and there are plenty of spots open for loyalists, so that sounds good. We will also have some separatist legions, so that's another option.

The Riven

 

Legio Numeration: The XVth Legion

Fortress Monastery: The fortress-moon of Cyphus

 

Allegiance: Traitoris Maximus (Tzeentch)

 

Flagship: Revenant-class Battleship, Last Light

Strength: approximately 90,000 at the beginning of the War on Ullanor

 

Original Recruitment Area: Terra, war-orphans of the Unification Wars

 

Motto: None

 

Symbol: A broken shield

 

Observed Strategic Tendencies: Urban Warfare, Punitive Suppressions/Purgation Operations, Insurrection Repression and Abhuman Decimation

 

Notable Battles: The Cowering of Ixthus IV, the Pysker-purge of the Ovar sector, Tadagan Crusade

 

Formations: (In Progress)

 

Short Overview:

The Riven were the one of the Emperor's most brutal and ruthless Legions. Tasked with multiple punitive and insurgency repression campaigns, they became adept at finding and destroying rebel leadership cadres. In particular, the Riven were extremely capable of destroying cult leadership, abhuman/divergent human civilization, and then rebuilding the rebellious societies into bastions of Imperial norms.

 

The Legion accomplishes their mission in two distinct phases; the first is the utter purging of all recessive elements and outposts, the second is the rebuilding/teaching/guiding phase in which the Legion's Librarians and Chaplains oversee those citizens that remain in the proper way of the Imperial Truth. The constant, grinding nature of the XV's missions took a terrible toll on the Legion. They became insular and withdrawn, barely interacting with other Legions, instead focusing on their warcraft. The XVth Legion gained a reputation of "a Legion of Destroyers" that would use any weapon, no matter how devastating, to accomplish their goals. The discovery of their taciturn and mysterious Primarch Morrigar, did nothing to curb these rumors. Morrigar approved of his Legion's tactics and dubbed them the Riven to honor their dual nature.

 

The Riven distained psykers, viewing their Librarians as a necessary evil useful to change the minds of a populace. As time wore on, the amount of rebel psykers and xenos psyker-breeds had the Riven recruiting more and more psykers in their ranks to counter the enemy. After the Psyker-purge of the Ovar Sector in which thousands of legionnaires were lost due to insidious witch-cult magiks, Morrigar reluctantly began to train as many of his sons as possible in the psykic arts, expanding both his and their abilities greatly. A new order, combining the duties of Chaplain and Librarian was created by Morrigar, the Hierarchs. The Hierarch order took over the secondary phase of the Riven battle doctrine, turning their greater psychic and oratory skills towards making a citizenry compliant, while having their less skilled members dedicated to defending the rest of the legion during the purgation process. Darker whispers began to abound, of the Riven walking the battlefield as ghosts or fire-breathers, of worlds turned to to nothing but fawning puppets after a Riven compliance-crusade, of battlefield troops that moved and fought as if with one mind.

 

With the loss of the Emperor, Morrigar turned towards ever more arcane methods to insure his Legion's protection and effectiveness in battle. Every minute his Legion was not fighting was spent deep in the Warp, as both he and his sons searched for answers to the Emperor's disappearance.

 

Nine years after the Emperor was lost, Morrigar called all the Riven back to Cyphus, the fortress-moon home of the legion. Two years pass, and nothing is heard from the Riven or their home system. When suddenly the Riven finally resurface, they march with new purpose- psychic powers pour from them unchecked, new and deadly weapons fire on their former brethren, and their banners celebrate a new master, the warp-God Tzeentch.
