@SavageEh, it depends on which writer, and what they're writing. For example: Ward butchered the Space Marines, but as a Dark Elf player from WHFB, I quite enjoyed his Dark Elf rulebook fluff.

@Roosan Two weeks. I'm in final exams right now, and then I'm moving residences. After that though I'm free and clear.

Okay, here's what I propose; write up as much as you feel you can and then send the result to BC and me. We'll treat it like any other sheet but in the early IC posts, we'll mention that your Primarch is engaged in a campaign on the far side of the galaxy and so will not be present for the events of the first real life few weeks of the IC, which is a bummer but at least you'll be established as part of the universe. When you have free time again, you can tell us and your Primarch can turn up having successfully (or unsuccessfully) dealt with whatever held them and can join the action.

The alternative is that you simply wait the two weeks before joining but that will probably require much more retconning to make your character a part of the group.

What do you think?

Okie dokie, it seems the Buddha has blessed me, and the last of my sheet is now done...while not a dramatis personae section per se, I believe it adds some flavour and some important names to the legion nonetheless; if you wanna check it oot, head over to the Sons legion section and take a ganders at their organisation.

I'd have to agree with @Savage anyway, most of our background is better than some of the more recent stuff they've come up with - Abnett and McNeil being somewhat exceptions in my opinion.

Coake(aine) is also correct though, but I played Undead/Vampire Counts in WHFB sooooo dunno about Ward or his Druchii either.

Abnett


Truly a god among Black Librarians. Gaunt's Ghosts and the Inquisitor novels are to die for, not to mention Horus Rising. I wouldn't even be in this RP if it weren't for that book. The way he describes Horus and the Luna Wolves is larger than life.

Rising is good, it's a shame that Graham McNeil (who can do good HH books, see Fulgrim, Thousand Sons and Mechanicus) botched the corruption of Horus so badly in the following book and the characters were almost unrecognisable in the third book, by Ben Counter.

I never did get past the second novel. I don't even remember what it's called.

To offer my two cents, the books Death of Integrity by Guy Haley, Fall of Damnos by Nick Kyme (who also wrote a really great trilogy of Salamanders novels) and The Death of Antagonis by David Annandale are some of my all time favorites

I actually haven't read many 40k novels outside of the Horus Heresy but The Siege of Castellax was a lot of fun. Iron Warriors trying to out-strategy orks, only to find that Orks don't need stupid strategy and can WAAAGH their way through most plans.

And of course, Deff Skwadron always deserves a mention for its unrivalled, glorious Orkishness.

I haven't read any of the novels, but I have been exposed to/playing the game since I was about 6-7 years old.

@Roosan I like the first option, plus it gives me a chance to see what the feel of this is going to be. Never done anything with WH40K before.

The parts I have left to do are the end of her biography and the meeting with the Emperor. I'll definitely be adding things to the dramatis personae as I go along.

You can certainly submit a sheet to the GMs without a Dramatis Personae, especially if your Legion and Primarch aren't going to be in the picture for a while. But I look forward to seeing the sheet, don't forget to send it in a convo to both me and BCTheEntity.

At special request, to help add flavour to the story, here's a link going over all the gene-seed organs implanted into a Space Marine, and what those organs do. For sake of ease, one can assume that the Primarchs were born with and therefore possess most or all of these organs, where appropriate; for instance, they're unlikely to possess Progenoid Glands, since their gene-seed stock was already utilised to create their Legions in the first place, though their Marines would obviously possess them to allow the Legion to keep growing. If you want to have some of your Primarch's Astartes Organs be atrophied or mutated in some way to add flavour to both them and their Legion, I won't stop you, but just be aware that certain organs are absolutely vital for a Legion to function, namely the Progenoids and the Black Carapace, and others such as the Ossmodula and Biscopea are required to, e.g., allow the bearer to develop into Space Marines in the first place.

@Savage@Hank A Primarch's work is never done...


Truer words were never spoken; I just edited my sheet again, inspired by your consolidation of Dramatis Personae and Legion Organization. In fact, I had to do it twice since I lost all of my progress when I was nearly finished the first time around.

Save me from this madness, @BCTheEntity. Start the RP.

@Hank@Sophrus Nah, the gene-seed organ stuff is optional to mention in-sheet if so desired. The basic assumption is that most Primarchs and Legions have the appropriate organ layout without anything significant missing, so don't worry about it. Anyway, I'm getting to starting the RP, don't you worry.

Lol, I was mostly joking. It is relevant and offers interesting avenues of legion/primarch development
