The Five Ruins: Recruitment Drive


Darkcommander

Recommended Posts

Ladies and Gentlemen! The Five Ruins writing group is looking for new members to join our Alternate 40k Universe! Based on the popular Warhammer 40k Universe, we have adapted it and ourselves to a new story. Currently working in the 30K era it’s packed with opportunities to create.
 
As the Great Crusade comes to a close the Emperor of Mankind has disappeared leaving his sons and the fledgling Imperium to fill the void in his absence. With new space marine legions and their Primarchs in the stead of those in canon, they all scramble to achieve their goals as the first of five unknown, but calamitous Ruins lurks on the horizon...
 
As a long-standing group we're currently building through our timeline with the eye of the first of five galaxy-shaking ‘Ruins’ coming very soon. With the project currently based in 30k we would be looking for you to contribute in a number of flexible ways. We are currently looking for the following positions to fill as major elements in the story:
 
-One position for a brand new legion
 
-One position to take over a currently existing legion in need of new leadership
 
-Several slots for Mechanicus, Eldar and Necron leadership roles
 
-Unlimited space for creators who wish to contribute on a smaller scale or in support of the major faction writers
 
If you feel like any of the story so far has intrigued you, or one of the role openings has piqued your interest. Feel free to reply in this thread for more information on any of the factions and subfactions available. Message my B&C account or message me on discord under the name @Rowboat_girlyman#1005 for more information on joining the group. If you feel like joining the discord server feel free to do so through this link: https://discord.gg/UMYNYtdq This post will be regulalry updated as we adopt new writers so make sure to check back regularly.

Listed below in some more detail are the higher-level positions available currently, while people are free to join in at the lower levels, these are the major slots needing filled.

 

New Marine Legion

Recruitment notice: The Five Ruins Warhammer 40k Alt-Universe is looking for writers willing to join our group. Currently we have a slot open for a new Astartes Legion and their Primarch to be added into the universe.This would give you a major part to play as your legion and primarch’s goals intersect and challenge others in the developing galaxy. Facing monstrous threats and giving them a choice of aligning with the Imperium, Chaos or Separatists as the Ruins burn through the galaxy.

This position, while coming with a lot of freedom, also means you will be a major contributor to the project overall, needing to answer bi-weekly questions about how your legion works, the creation of tabletop units, characters and backstory. Of course you won’t be doing all of this alone as we have several voraciously dedicated tabletop rules enthusiasts willing to help build out your legion to your liking. Along with this support of the current team in writing tasks and the creation of units, characters and equipment will be behind you too, all to help flesh out your legion and it’s accolades earned throughout their time together.

In this instance the current slot we have open is for the XIth Legion with several pre-existing elements available to adapt into your roster to help ease them in.

If you feel like this opportunity has intrigued you feel free to contact myself for more information on joining the group, the rules and levels of responsibility and feasibility of introducing your Primarch and their marines into the Five Ruins Universe.

 

Sky Reavers Legion Master Recruitment

Recruitment notice: The Five Ruins Warhammer 40k Alt-Universe is looking for writers willing to join our group. Currently we have a slot open to take over the reigns of an existing Astartes Legion and their Primarch in the Five Ruins universe. This Legion is one of the founding factions of the project that, due to various reasons, no longer has a main writer. As already established elements in the story their works have already provided much for the project and we would be looking to have them continue their galactic machinations with someone new at the helm.

This position does come with some limitations in terms of what can and can’t be changed about the legion and their existing lore, such as their status as Separatists or their particular miniature ‘empire’ within the Segmentum Obscurus, they also serve as a great base to build their particular brand of aerial domination to new heights. This means you will be a major contributor to the project overall, needing to answer bi-weekly questions about how your legion works, the creation of tabletop units, characters and backstory. Of course you won’t be doing all of this alone as we have several voraciously dedicated tabletop rules enthusiasts willing to help build out your legion to your liking. Along with this support of the current team in writing tasks and the creation of units, characters and equipment will be behind you too, all to help flesh out your legion and it’s accolades earned throughout their time together.

In this instance the current slot we have open is for the XIIIth Legion, known as the Sky Reavers. An aerial combat focused legion, their primarch Aato is free of spirit, but weighed down by his hatred of the warp, looking for any avenue to avoid interacting with the daemonic realm. As a member of the Separatist faction they will be seceding from the Imperium alongside many of his brothers and their fiefdoms during the hectic days of the Third Ruin.

If you feel like this opportunity has intrigued you feel free to contact myself for more information on joining the group, the rules and levels of responsibility and feasibility of taking over the control of a Primarch and their marines in the Five Ruins Universe.
