Reforging the Legions (Warhammer 40K)

Reader mode
[X] The Burning of the Archives: You had believed the quest for knowledge would prove sacrosanct even amongst the traitors. By the time you realized the extent of their corruption they had already unleashed abominable intelligences from their shackles and turned sacred STCs into Chaos infused scrap code. It was by your hand that so much priceless knowledge was lost. It was by your hand that anything was saved.
[X] Space Wolves: Famous for their many titles including but not limited to, 'The Rout', 'The Emperor's Executioners', 'The Fangs of the Emperor", Sky Warriors, and Vika Fenryka. Unfortunately their endless boasting is not entirely without merit. Second to the Dark Angels in The Emperor's trust, second to the Blood Angels in a melee, distant second to the scouts of the White Scars...they will serve ably. Though their gene stock is noted as being extremely temperamental, they will be smaller in number then their brethren.
 
[X] The Purgation of the Legio Cybernetica: You were one of the first Archmagos to realize the depths of their madness. Their ambitions to tame The Men of Iron. Abominable Intelligence free from the shackles of man. Through a campaign of bribery, subterfuge and assassination you systematically sidelined them from positions of power. Without your efforts they would have rallied a hundred worlds, dozens of titan legions, and uncounted battle automata. Your ideals for an army, what a bargain you struck.
[X] White Scars: An often underappreciated Legion, the White Scars have served as pathfinders and fast attacks elements across the Crusade and Heresy alike. Less famously their Storm Seers served as one of the backbones of the original Librarian programs. Their bearing seems both too boastful for most yet too taciturn for their more extroverted kin but they have proven thorough their reliability in practice.

White Scars are just a fun legion, they are actually closer to the actually kind end for Space Marines, but like any of them lethal. Any form of Mobility we want to enhance them with will likely be taken well, and while the Iron Hands will take to augmentation well its a little straightforward, I like the side options, one where we may have to make some concessions, but also likely they will as well.

[X] The Scouring: The majority of The Traitor Space Marines have retreated into the Warp Rift known as 'The Eye of Terror', however some warbands and their human allies remain entrenched upon Imperial worlds, or seek world's beyond Terra's reach. Now is the time to drive back the darkness and return order to a galaxy gone mad.

[X] Iron Hands: Perhaps most unfortunate of the Emperor's remaining sons. Theirs was the first Primarch to prove mortal and they may never forgive themselves for that fact. They are eager to participate in these new foundings if only to escape the company of themselves. When martialed to war they exhibit an uncommon affinity for armored warfare and the operation of high technology. Outside the battlefield they have taken to replacing their flesh with bionics in imitation of The Cult Mechanicus. It is...odd.

[X] Blood Angels: The death of Sanguinis was a heroic and terrible thing and his sons will be forever marked by it. Blood and memory both tempt them with irrevocable bloodlust. Outside their curse The Blood Angels stand as supreme swordsmen and are known for their noble natures. They are heroes in the oldest and most terrible sense of the word.

Poor Canto.

So is Canto a part of any particular sub-priesthoot like the Genetors, electro-priests or those nano machines guys?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

I tend to write characters with a handful of important traits locked in and then more or less discover the rest as I go. Unfortunately one of Canto's first to solidify was being an idealist during The Horus Heresy. They're in for a world of hurt.

Politically, they never joined any faction or subfaction for a variety of reasons. Not the least of which was that they were too busy with practical issues like 'How do I fight wars good?' And 'why do the Astartes keep dying like glorified lemmings?'.

That being said, they're quite sympathetic to a number of smaller factions. If only because they get starved out while some borderline heretical sects flourished (looking at you Cybernetica).

[X] Dark Angels: The Lion's get were the original Space Marines and have much to show for it. In terms of battle honors none of the remaining legions can compare nor can they boast such an expensive panoply of ancient technologies. Any successor of theirs can expect expanded access to specialist wargear including the venerable Terminator Armor pattern. Personality wise they tend towards brooding introspection and somewhat caustic demeanors. Their are some worries about how closely they hew to their successor chapters but certainly nothing actionable as of yet.

Ok, Going to start drafting the options for part two.

Going to call the vote sometime tomorrow morning (10am Eastern'ish) and hopefully have it ready by the evening.

Edit: Preview note. I'm going to split off Crusading Chapters from the more standard fleet based ones. Very much a high risk and high reward option.
