[OOC] The Grim Crusade [Warhammer 30,000 RP]

[Sarpedon]

@BCTheEntity Thanks, we'll see what happens.

[Jb]

@Sarpedon Naaaw, man, naaaw! You can't leave a brutha like this!

On a more serious note, I hope everything works out alright, and that you return to our glorious crusade in your own good time. Stay frosty, my friend.

Aaaand on another different note, I've actually completed by Legion's colour scheme, so I have some idea of them in my mind...now to finish the sheets as well.

[Sarpedon]

@Jbcool Sorry bruv. If things straighten out maybe I will try again this weekend.

@Savage So I like your sheet but... where'd you get some of the art??? Like the bikes and stuff all lok original, and the colored maximus armour and the banner... cause they are fucking awesome

@agentmanatee

Can't take credit for the art save for the coloration and minor Photoshop to change a few details around, though the banner is mostly mine. Google images had pretty much everything I needed, as well as browsing the Forge World website for different pieces of Space Marine Heresy-era tech.

Honestly I planned on just doing the banner and armor....annnnnd then a few days went by and I had built a collection of various pieces that I felt were worth sharing.

@Savage I wish I had axis to photoshop. I'm on tablet always though. I would have colored the Maximus armor like you... damn I wish I had a computer

[Savage]

@agentmanatee

Im actually using a Photoshop-like program called GIMP. Its freeware and contains a lot of the same features. Used to have the good ole PS several years back, and its what I learned on, but alas that computer and that program are now gone.

[agentmanatee]

@Savage still better than I have any pic editors on tablet are dog shit awful so I'm stuck with b&c

[Savage]

@agentmanatee

I tried B&C first, but for some reason the images wouldn't load. So I went about it my own way. Took more time I'm sure but once I get in a Photoshop-groove I find it hard to stop, (hence the many more images I ended up doing).

@Savage
You look like you have some actual PS ability though, even without access to it.

I have it and can use it but I'm certainly no master. My attempts to recolour things tend to look hamfisted at best.

[Savage]

@Roosan

One word: Overlay.

I just select that setting in my layer mode, and color away without worrying about getting it outside the lines so to speak. Then I just play around with multiple layers, colors, and other modes until the picture comes out looking a way I like. Adding some unique brushes makes for some cool effects too.

Posted my Primarch & Legion.

In Gorseval's history, he fought a brief battle against the forces of the Grim Crusade before the Emperor finally forced Gorseval to surrender. Does anyone feel like having their Legion being part of the expeditionary force that accompanied the Emperor, and subsequently having fought against the soldiers under Gorseval's command? Some of those soldier still survive as members of the Void Stalkers' Black Guard, and I think it'd create an interesting dynamic.

[agentmanatee]

@Hank Me, MMon Kal, yes my legion, please

[agentmanatee]

@HankSorry if I was a bit excited there, but I can easily imagine the Bloody Host being involved

@Hank

I also wouldn't mind the opportunity, however I see a problem with it. If this is playing out the way I think it is, then Erron and Groseval are discovered one after the other. Though the time between that hasn't been established, Erron takes his Legion onto Varnis for retraining and reorganization for several years before joining the Crusade.

However, from reading your Primarch, it would seem that Groseval and Erron could not be any more different. Previous contention between the two would be interesting, and greatly strain Erron Khaal's desire to be the peace keeper and voice of reason among his siblings.

@agentmanatee

Sure, why not? Would Mon-Kal have been present himself?

@Savage

Gorseval was discovered last, and in the canon of the Great Crusade the Primarchs were discovered over a period of multiple decades, so it's not impossible that Erron had the time to retrain his legion before the Grim Crusade stumbled upon the Reach. And it's true that Erron and Gorseval are total opposites, so I smell a perfect opportunity for friction.

[Savage]

Within the canon it was not uncommon for the Emperor to bring several of his previously discovered sons along when meeting a new Primarch. I believe when he met Konrad Cruze he brought 3 or 4 in fact.

Since no timelines have really been established, though you've made it clear Groseval was last, I see no reason why the Wild Blades cannot have joined the Crusade and probably been active for many years before his discovery.

[agentmanatee]

Yea, Mon-Kal enjoys fighting on the frony lines like any good primarch, If you'd rather do the thing with savage I understand though... but I'm totally up for it

[Hank]

We can do both. You know what would be interesting? How about the three of us rewrite the Meeting between Gorseval and the Emperor in my character sheet and include Erron and Mon-Kal? You guys up for that?

[BCTheEntity]

@Hank That sounds pretty cool, actually. Go for it, fellas.
