My old custom chapter thread on Dakka: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/60/539935.page

As you can see I am super bad in writing, but hey.. i enjoy doing it. :)

I then lost interest in spessmahrines and fell in love with the imperial guard armoured regiments(mostly due to reading Gunheads and my general affection for armoured vehicles)

Also before anyone goes full retard on the parts of shit that arent 100% correct fluffwise: I dont care, I do this solely for fun and because I find the 40k universe very immersive, but I dont care about the details.

As I said earlier, when it comes to fluff 40k 'nerds' get really fucking annoying and unpleasant to be around. :)
Title: Re: [SF]Warhammer 40.000 Topic
Post by: Joseph Porta on July 05, 2014, 03:22:08 pm
I do think so, but what youll most likely see is that it hugely differs per world. In Gunheads a Lt Gen was mentioned to have fought as a tank commander himself, though it is hard to extract a clear conclusion I think it is safe to say that it does happen.

If you take the Cadia, its a world(or a group of worlds?) that is fully militarized, so I do think infantry, IF they would survive long enough (IF IF IF) could be promoted to a staff function, though what you mostly see is, fm the books ive read, is that guar get promoted for showing bravery and heroisme in the face of the enemy.

But, to be fair, a guardsmans live is practicly worth less then his gun - shows how ruthless the 40k universe is. Most will die, but some will be promoted.

I also think with the Valhallan regiments that there is a certain aristocracy that often holds the higher ranks, but i cant remember exactly.
Great book btw is Fifteen Hours, really short but powerfull story - shows exactly how expendable a guardsman is.

Satisfying the OP and purpose of this thread i have a question - in the Imperial army, do you only achieve ranks through merit, or is there some aristocracy there? For example, was a Lord General always once a basic infantryman, or are they privileged people who come in with rank? If thye've had to survive enough battles to gain that rank from being just an infantryman, i think that makes them some of the most badass characters in the universe, cos those infantrymen drop like flies xD

As far as I know in the 40k universe the imperial guard distinguishes between the lower ranks (normal troops, squad leaders...) and officers. Officers are being trained differently and are usually never a "grunt". Though they do participate in battles if the situation requires it (that means being overrun and either fight or die). In general they do show up on the battlefield but rather just command and keep an eye on the overall situation than being busy with tunnel vision shooting.

Space Marine is an awesome game, so brutal :lol:

Also, first DoW, with expansions, just seems so much more fun to me than DoW2.

If you haven't played it, then you should try it, in order: Dawn of War, DoW Winter Assault, DoW Dark Crusade. Soulstorm expansion is generally considered to be inferior (it was made by a different company, afaik).

Another fun 40k game is Rites of War - it is an older tactical strategy game, quite challenging and fun, has a lot of progression to it as well.

I guess that would be in keeping with the British Army parallels. And even if it was like that, to get to Lord General or similar high rank that's still a ton of campaigns that you'd have to complete/survive from 'lieutenant'
To be honnest, a lot of countries all around the world proceded like this. :)

If you still want to compare the Imperial Guard with our countries in the world, i would say that the old Russia Communism is by far the closest one.
(and not only because of the commisar  :D )

By the way, now they are working on another game named : "Eternal Crusade"

Actually, it is mentioned that some guardmen spend their entire lives on a single world, i think there is even mention of second generation of the said guardsman fighting alongside their fathers.

Got to see itin perspective, this is not country vs country, but rather world vs world. Wars in the IoM are wars of attrition, when it comes to the imperial guard that is. Spacemarines are q tacticly strong asset that is used selectively and where it is most needed.

10000 marines per chapter aint alot for a galaxy as large as ours!

I freaking love Magnus & Dorn.
Magnus loyal till the end !

About Horus : Well its the point...
On this picture in my opinion he doesn't look so charismatic. (He looks more "evil" and doubtfull)
edit: I mean for me, how is he here is the Horus slighty corrupted (time or Istvaan III) and not the one described in the first book.
(Which will come a bit after Ullanor's triomph)

I know that, and how relatively specialist the Space Marine forces are whereas the Imperial Guardsmen are the vast bulk of the meatgrinder army. I was just curious as to whether the Generals had fought their way up through ALL the ranks from the lowliest guardsman, or whether they came in as officers due to space aristocracy.

If they had come from the lowest ranks, in my opinion that makes them even more bad-ass than a Space Marine, because surviving several battles and earning commissions as a guardsman must be crazy - you have no hulking armour or doomsday weapons, just a rifle and a 30 second life expectancy.

What I always go by is the fact that the 40k universe is so massive and the IoM is so full of different lifestyles that there probably always is a world that does have that kind of hierarchy.
I know for a fact that in Hive worlds there are classes, and that the upper hive is (again, iirc, its been a long time) in fact the aristocracy - though it would sound far more likely for the aristocracy to avoid getting summoned for war at all. I think they rather pay the IoM then to send their children away.

Once a guardsman leaves his homeworld hell never see his family again, due to warp travel and how time passes by. He could for example be in service for 10 years only to return home and find that his parents have been dead for a 100 years. But 99.9999% never see their homeworld again.

Hmm, but you got to keep in mind that a space marine will be only called if the situation is severe enough, thus negating the superior (everything)

IG 4 lyf. Played 40K from age like 12-16, then recently aged 28 my colleagues got back into it, and I still had some of my army. Bopught some new stuff, repainted old stuff, and we had lots of fun battles (500-2000pts), playing 5th Ed rules.

Didnt know what colour to paint the army, and I really liked my trainers at the time, so painted my army like my trainers. Never really got into the fluff, just enjoyed the tabletop game.


Here it is:

Had a lot of fun with this army build. People always expect tanks with IG, so I sometimes took 100% inf just to fuck with ppl, and won :)

Failing motherboard or PSU, but most likely Motherboard.

Pain in the arse because I can't really replace it.

The wolves are the Emperor's executioners.. What they did on Prospero.. Well, considering the circumstances and how it must have looked in the Emprahs eyes to have the barriers of Terra breached..               
And what are the Night Lords ? eh ? :D

As Konrad Curze said, the Emperor used him as a tool of death in order to erase and do all the dirty jobs.

It's pretty close to the Space Wolves' job. Even if they use different ways.

Iirc, the Night Lords favoured "lightning raids"? Whilst the space wolves used 'brute force'.

Im not sure though..

It's what i'm saying, they used different ways but for the same mission.

They were both used as "tools" in order to erase an enemy / planet

To sum up :

He got used as a tool of death by the Emperor.
The Emperor knew how he was doing the "job" and he let him doing it.

Then, when the dirty job has been done, some voice from the Imperial authority started to yell & repport how brutal Konrad Curze was.

Konrad got called by the Emperor and then has been humiliated in public. And went back to his palace.
Konrad had a special "skill" he has visions. With the time, the visions started to ruin his life. Especially because of one always poping up.
The one where the Emperor kills him.

He already escaped to many tries of assassins.
Bored, sad, and harassed by his visions (its much more complicated but well...) he decided to let the next assassin finish him.
A bit before that, he called all his captains, and gave the crown to his favorite son and explained that he will die this night. And no one should intervene.
(The captains had enormous different point of views on everythings) => very important when they will become "renegade" because some will completly fall in the corruption of chaos, when others will stay  "pure" and fight for their "justice"

Evil != corrupted by Chaos

And they hate so much the Emperor for what he did to their Father.
It's one of the few Legion which has good reasons to fight & hate the Imperium.

Hardly. Curze might've been haunted by visions, but he became a mad murderer by choice. It was also his own choice on how to do what his legion did, as brutally and cruelly as they did it. It was under no instruction.
He also turned traitor, just for the chance to strike at his more "noble" brothers and reveled in the chance to humiliate and hurt them.

I do not know what made Death Guard turn traitor (no HH books about them so far), but, really though, only Alpha Legion (and perhaps Iron Warriors) come to mind as Legions, that turned traitor and with reasonable cause. Children of Horus/Luna Wolves, Word Bearers and Emperor's Children all got corrupted, World Eaters - Angron being an insane cunt, Thousand Sons were forced over by the events of Prospero and Night Lords were scum to begin with.

Here a good link explaining the Night Lords event's : http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Night_Lords
What you say about Konrad Curze is a bit biased. (You should read the book "Night Lords" or the A-D-B trilogy.
Both are guilty, Konrad & The Emperor.

Here a quote from the link i gave you : (he didn't really had "choice" to become as he was)

I wonder why nobody picked up the idea of creating an open world elite-freelancer like game in this universe.
Maybe using these guys I have just linked, I can't remember if other races have similar 'roles' basically.

I mean think of the possibilites  8-) While I know that the bloody melees and fights are the shit about 40k, this would be interesting to play in my opinion too. Or you should be able to support factions and join them somehow on the ground.

But I still think the most entertaining stuff would be to play both sides and just watch them kill eachother while you are sipping coffee from the bridge of your gold-plated spaceship.  :twisted:

In general Games Workshop has been greedy and petty in welcoming good use of their license, and Blizzard more or less stole everything from Warhammer Fantasy for Warcraft, and anything from 40K for Starcraft, before either had chance to have real mainstream exposition, and now kids think Warhammer is copying Blizzard.

But Games Workshop blocks most everything so really nothing gets done, it's only been a few years since the one and only 40K movie was released, Ultramarines, which was passable but could and should've been so much better, and the games have in my opinion been pretty bad since Shadow of the Horned Rat and Dark Omen, until DoW, which is good but also could've been much better (more like Men of War and less like Starcraft, I mean there's lots of micromanagement but very little advanced tactics which even dominates the tabletop original). Also fan-made stuff are constantly blocked, for example the guy reading 40K books aloud on Youtube etc. any attempts at making fan fiction, animated movies (though seems Lord Inquisitor has gotten a green light after much unnecessary fuss and debacle) and so on.

The only thing they've been good at releasing are books and the original table top gaming, which really is ridiculously expensive since new rulebooks come out all the time and after armies started being less uniform to facilitate a higher price tag. Original Warhammer by necessity only being a hobby for spoiled kids or adult nerds, until the new generation of video games and books, where you can be a Warhammer nerd even without playing the tabletop game.

They have some of the coolest design and greatest lore, but it is seriously squandered for some reason (probably exorbitant license fees), the whole Blizzard surge could've been in the Warhammer universe, and the game industry better off for it.

I paid 70€ for my LR:crusader  :cry: the price tags are indeed to cry over.

Reading Gaunt's Ghosts atm, Imperial Commissars are interesting figures, Unwavering in their loyalty and impervious to bullets .

The Emperor protects!

If only c-rpg had chainswords.. A man can dream!  :mrgreen:

A 40k game A la M&B combat would be neat.
