Forsaken (40k Chaos Warband Quest)
You feel the death of your father even before the vox come alive. You feel defeat singing through your bones, traveling by whatever sorcery the False Emperor wedded to your gene-seed. Terra is burning right below your ship, its cities set ablaze by the glow of a thousand guns. It is not enough. Its defenders, human and transhuman are dying in droves weighted down by the number of your brothers and entire legions of cultists and abominations. It is not enough. The neverborn children of the gods are manifesting at the very gates of the Anathema's palaces laughing and capering as the birthplace of humanity groan under their feet. It is not enough. Nothing you have done can be enough. Your father, architect of the rebellion, champions of the True Gods, is dead and the news is close to breaking you entirely. You watch vessels die in the void as your servants howl that Loyalist reinforcements are breaking the blockade around Mars. Two whole Legions are emerging from the Sea of Soul to take you against the anvil of the world that should have been the crown of your gene-sire.
Still you were once an Astartes officer. Perhaps you are still that in part but you are also a new and terrible thing that the Heresy has seen emerge. Chaos Lord they call you and you won't die in the skies of Terra. The battle is lost but the Long War won't be over until you come back here and slay the False Emperor. Still you must still survive. Even in grief, you roar as you see the disunity of the Legions made manifest. It has cost you the Siege you realize. The forces under your father's command splintering even at the final objective. Already the followers of Slaanesh, the Dark Prince had abandoned the assault on the walls and focused on tormenting the defenseless population of the homeworld. Even their desertion pales to the rout you see happening through your ships' instruments. Regiments who assaulted the palace of the Emperor are fighting against each other for the chance to seize the spaceports. Forces cut off by the fury of battle are either grimly preparing for last stands, or in the case of the followers of Khorne the Blood God still pushing forwards in sheer fury. Swathes of the planet visible from space are engulfed in impossible colors as desperate sorcerers are trying to escape through the Sea of Souls rather than face the space battle.
Gods of the Warp, you see your own ships begin to fire at each other, taking the time to settle grudges even as the surviving Primarchs are barking orders for a coordinated withdrawal. You hope you are not the only one who remained on the edge of sanity. Still you take precious seconds to think about what you are going to do. Your father is dead and none of the surviving officers are interested in anything but securing his body and leaving the system. Loyalist ships are cutting you off from the body of the main fleet. But you have still time before the trap closes completely. You order a vox liaison to be opened, screaming through space.
"Blade of Damnation speaking. Know that every member of the True Legions and assorted assets is welcome aboard the ship provided you can board in the next hour!"
At the moment you speak thus, you can see transports immediately setting course for your hangar bays as your crew. Members of your own legion of course but not all. Indeed you see Mechanicum ships gained to your side change course and join Astartes vessels. Your vox is swimming with declarations of allegiance from mortal commanders anxious to survive the defeat. Now you just have to hold a bit, fight to the edge of the system and enter the Warp. You have few chances but few is not none.
Who are you proud Chaos Lord (Choose 1)
[] You are of the Sons of Horus follower of the Warmaster who set the galaxy ablaze as he sought to keep the False Emperor from becoming a god. First Captain Abbadon is guiding your Legion's flagship towards the edge of the system and the Eye of Terror and you make to follow him

[] You are of the Ultramarines, proud guardians of the Five Hundred Worlds. Your father was the Dark Master of Chaos and even now his body wounded unto death is carried from the Emperor's throne room.

They are that rarest of thing, a band of daemons sworn to each of the Four and prepared to be bound rather than be deprived of material existence. They even give you fragments of their true names allowing your warband to have an unusual number of daemonic allies.

It is. Having renegades from each of the Legions opens possibilities although I must warn that in your combination you are going to have a single Thousand Son by instance.
The main thing is that it will be fun! Observing how they will try to exist together and how much the minds of those who will learn about this feature of our Warband for the first time will be torn - my main motivator.😁
The ability to use the tactics of all legions and the general increase in the number of Astartes is just a nice bonus.

So one of the main reasons why the traitors fought the wars of the eye was because the hell forges are not going to be a thing for a very long time, thus if we have someone capable of maintaining/repairing wargear and possibly connecting us with other mechanicum priests it will allow us to bypass part of what is about to occur to the 16th so devastating.

So my bad but a refresher on the Roboutean heresy is not going to harm anyone and will help an informed choice.
The Renegades of the Roboutean Heresy are
Depends on what you mean.
If the canon verse is chosen, you can argue that Night Lords and Iron's Warriors are following lesser Chaos Gods with the former being linked to fear and terror and the latter to the Forge of Souls.
If the Roboutean Heresy verse is chosen, the Salamanders follow Vulkan as a god of domination and enslavement and the Raven Guard have their own very twisted theology.
The Renegades of the Roboutean Heresy are
- Dark Angels: Masters of conspiracies and secrets: Tzeentch
- White Scars: Raiders and Pillagers (with a side-gig in necromancy for the sorcerers)
- Blood Angels: Glamorous sense-addicted vampires : Slaanesh
- Imperial Fists: Hyper militaristic pseudo knights : Khorne
- Space Wolves: Xenotech enthusiasts and closet sorcerers
- Iron's Hands: Corroded Mechanized forces: Nurgle
- Ultramarines: Organized Chaos Worshippers with specialist Possessed
- Salamanders: Slavers and literal dragons
- Raven Guards: Monster creators and Lovecraftian specialists (they are still stealthy)
Depends on what you mean.

Is malice or Star father a valid option in case of alternate heresy?

Malice in the Roboutean Heresy is that massive world of flesh who could be a patron in the "unfettered invention" angle. The Star Father is not existent but his thematics are present in Vulkan and there is the Yellow King: The perception of the God-Emperor by heretics and Xenos.
If by Malice you mean Malal, Chaos turned against Chaos. Nope because the quest is managing a Chaos warband with the different legions which would be impossible with a Malal Chaos Lord

[X] Sorcerers having thrown the shackles of the False Emperor's edicts flock to your ships, some even appearing from thin air as they cross the worlds. Not only Astartes but scores of human psykers granting your coven supreme might.
My only gripe is that we arent playing Thousands Sons.

The main character is going to be Chaos Undivided but yeah the favor of the Yellow King will be able to be sought just like the Four, the Raptor God and other powers.
If your choice win, you are going to have Thousand Sons. Not Rubricae though, any TS you are going to get will survive the Rubric. They're going to be twenty tops.
Although I would advise voting for the Sorcerer options if you really want a strong Thousand Sons presence in the warband.

Yeah it's awesome it's why i proposed it. Now there are some hiccups as always with some Legions way better than the others. Like the Space Wolves are mostly driven by their struggle against the Thousand Sons and the White Scars well we don't much about them.
It's still way better than the Dornian Heresy and has the benefit of having all twenty Index Astartes.
There are some things I don't like in the general feel like the great lessening of Chaos. (May seem paradoxical considering the Time of Ending but the fact that the Imperium has a Chaos God killing weapon at its disposal is a bit OP in my opinion), but there's less WTF moments than in canon.
Notably looking at the canon Alpha Legion.

"WTF" kinda describes the Alpha Legion's entire gimmick.

So hard to find 40k quests/games that don't have you playing the Imperium. Yeah yeah, space marines shiny alleged good guys blah blah blah BORING. Let's get our crazy on!
What made me fall in love with Zahariel's work was the ability to show Chaos as competent.
Reading about his preparations, you physically feel the threat, and your hair stands on end.
In Warband of Forsaken Sons, my MVP was a cunning demon of Khorne. I remember how at that moment it broke my patterns.

I'm more thinking that involving the Alpha Legion in anything means choosing why they joined the rebellion, what's the deal and motivation of that peculiar group and so on.
What I find relentlessly funny is that complexity was not backed in the Alpha Legion at the beginning. At first they were the "intelligent Chaos Legion" whose deal was working with non-Astartes and using stealth and actual tactics. Their joining of the Heresy was straightforwards. They felt ignored by the wider Imperium and had a personal relationship with Horus.
It's the Horus Heresy novels who began the mess on their status and motivations.
Yeah his AU where Horus survives the Heresy and decides to prosecute the Long War through cult rather than smash ships against Cadia is awesome.
