Warhammer Galaxy in Flames RP Construction Thread

Well as I was searching through the various RPs on the hive I came across Warhammer Dawn of War RP, I read it, it all seemed solid, I myself LOVE the warhammer universe and play Imperial Guard as it is. I was about to submit a character but I noticed the thread was closed :thumbs_down:. So I wanna start another one up. But with MUCH more detail in it (no offense to the previous RP host) Well, too start off you'll be aloud to choose any of the races (except tyranids, contemplating necrons). So now, our planet will be a planet neighboring the system Cadia. The home world to the furious Scantra 212th Regiment. Being so closely tied to Cadia, they use their gear, technology, tactics, and traditions.



Scantra is a mountainous world, it is roughly the same size, and density of Terra, with equal composition. One would almost say it is Terra's sibling planet. Living on Scantra is a coexistence of humans and abhumans of many varieties, from the small hot-headed Ratlings to the brutish warmongering Ogryns. The planets 212th Regiment, the 'Archangels' is an elite Kasrkin Insertion Force. With over a thousand Kasrkin in Scantra's control and millions of guardsmen this planet wouldn't fall easily. That was until the warp storm came. Scantra dropped out of communication of the mighty Cadian system and it's outlying worlds. From the warp storm came the Chaos Black Legion, a strong and deadly force which has set its eyes on Cadia. Scantra's military might had suffered great losses from the relentless assault. One regiment however held fast protecting the governor's estate. The Scantra 212th Archangels. Along with them were two Basilisk regiments, a Leman Russ Regiment, three mighty Baneblade tanks and a Reaver Titan, the Exodus Heriticus.

Rumors of the great siege had carried on to the bloodthirsty warmongering orks. Led by the fearsome Warboss Ghazkull. His hordes of orks flooded down onto the planet, a new green tide. Cadia had sent out messages for assistance in protecting Scantra, the first to reply were the powerful and mysterious Black Templar Space Marines led by High Marshal Helbrecht. But the space marines didn't come alone, silently stalked by the ancient and elusive Eldar craftworld of Saim-Hann, the Eldar had helped the imperium in secret before, and were willing to do it again. From the warp storm stumbled a great ship, and from it, small boarding vessels began to strike at the Black Legion ships, the Dark Eldar had appeared by mistake, and they didn't regret ending up above Scantra either. When a small colony vessel of the expanding Tau was destroyed by an oncoming Ork fleet the Tau knew they had to avenge their fallen innocents. Without hesitation the Tau world of Bork'an deployed a fleet and headed for the besieged planet of Scantra.

But even though the front of battle was massive on both land and in space, the imperium knew this would be a perfect moment to destroy and weaken almost every possible enemy, the Inquisition was sent, the proud Silver ships floated into battle, deploying Inquisitorial Storm Troopers and the legendary Gray Knights. Within the Inquisition fleet were two ships of the Adepta Sororitas, and the sisters of battle had engaged in the massive war zone. For four years Scantra has been under siege, the battle still rages on today, with no determined victory set.

"This is Colonel Darius Liersus, the governor is dead, we're fall -static- hh dammit! -background: We've got to get out of he- We're falling back to the caves, Emperor save us all -background: *explosion*- SHIT! We just lost the titan! Hel-"

End Transmission...

I hoped you enjoyed the opening because now you get to be part of it! All of the races and factions mentioned in that opening are available for you to RP as. The races are explained in detail with a picture of who they are.


8966-warhammer-40000-dawn-of-war-winter-assault-7_640.jpg

The backbone of the Imperium. The Imperial Guard is an army of uncountable size and strength. One Squad, or one Tank does not change the outcome of wars. No the outcome of wars comes from the volley of disciplined 'lasgun' fire. The army of normal men and women fight and die day by day to secure and expand the glorious territory of their emperor. Within this massive army are more specialized and versatile soldiers, from the stout and stubborn Ratlings, short dwarf-like abhumans, to the towering and brutish Ogryn. A massive unstobbable weak minded abhuman. Not only are their human deviations, but special forces, capable of infiltrating and sabotaging, such as the fierce Kasrkin or the precise Storm Troopers. Anything who dares get in the way of this bulk will face an almost guaranteed death.


post-90027-1205171981.jpg

The fanatical Space Marines are the fiercest warriors ever known in the galaxy. One of these powerful marines is worth a thousand men. Armed with the ancient Holy Bolter, a weapon that fired explosive 'bolts'. And armed with the old and revered Power Armor. Armor so resilient that it can take any blow and shrug it off as though it was just a stone thrown by a child. This powerful force isn't as large as the Imperial Guard. But matches and possibly even surpasses it in might. They are given a massive almost unending arsenal of weapons. These mighty super-soldiers never tire, never get sick, never fear, or feel pain. It is just that, that these Marines use as a weapon. Once these Angels of Death make planetfall there is no telling as to how hard they will strike. They fight alongside the Imperial Guard and have an undying will to fight so long as their Emperor lives.


chaosmarines.jpg

The Chaos Space Marines were once faithful Space Marine warriors. But they were manipulated by the dark gods and were offered power, wealth, and knowledge. The first of the Chaos was Horus, a Space Marine Primarch who led the Sons of Horus chapter. During this Horus Heresy the Emperor of Man was almost struck down. Now, the forces of Chaos are as vast as the Space Marines themselves. They have been blessed by the dark gods and have been deformed and strengthed to the point where man cannot even be seen in them. They are ruthless killers bent on the destruction of mankind. The five Chaos marks, four of which are devoted to each Dark God.

Khorne - God of Blood, unrelenting fury and war. Empowered by Anger.
Tzeentch - God of Change, Magic and endless schemes and plots. Empowered by Ambition.
Nurgle - God of Decay, disease and physical corruption. Empowered by Despair.
Slaanesh - God of Hedonism, excess, and pleasure. Empowered by Desire.

The fifth is not toward one god, but all gods. The Chaos Undivided is a force which untilizes the might of the four powers, at the head of the Undivided force is the Black Legion, led by the successor of Horus, Abbadon the Despoiler.


ork.jpg

The Orks are a barbaric alien species, they live off of war and battle and revel in it. The Orks speak very crude english, where 'This way!' the Orks would say 'DIS WAY!' They are proud and selfish of their strength. The Orks usually fight among themselves, starving for war and battle they'll invade a neighboring tribe. Only when the rise of a Warboss happens, are the Ork tribes united and formed into a 'WAAAAGH!' which is the Ork term for army. These large WAAAAGH!'s can be an unstoppable force if left unchecked. As these brutish creatures reproduce at such an alarming rate, a small tribe of one hundred Orks can grow to over a thousand within a week, which is why they must be dealt with as fast as possible.

The Eldar are an ancient and dying race of technologically advanced aliens. When their worlds were put to the brink of destruction the Eldar were forced to produce massive ships the size of planets, these 'craftworlds' hold the remaining and withering Eldar. Led by farseers these Eldar press forward for a new world, but most are already inhabited. When the Eldar come across the Space Marines or the Imperial Guard who are found embattled, they tend to swiflty and silently aid them. If they were caught even by the Imperium, they'd surely die. After millenia of survival the Eldar have learnt to use speed and guerilla hit and run tactics. They rely upon small groups of 'aspect warriors' devoted to different types of warfare. The Warp Spiders are equipped with gear capable of transporting the wearer into the Warp and appearing somewhere else, more commonly called teleporting. The Swooping Hawks fly and shoot their targets from above, or come down and engage in fierce mellee combat. The Howling Banshees are a cult of warrior women, their masks amplifying their shreeks to deafening levels as they charge into the fray. The Striking Scorpions are silent assassins, warriors who wear green armor and infiltrate the lines, where they swipe and them with their razor sharp blades from the back. The Dark Reapers are heavy weapons specialists, spitting out a wall of projectiles so broad that is can pin down a battalion of enemies. The Fire Dragons are the Eldar Tank hunters, their weapons fire a super heated plasma which can burn through almost any type of armor. The Eldar are a force to be reckoned with.


dark-eldar-vignette.jpg

The Dark Eldar are the exiles of the glorious Eldar race. Banished for worshipping the dark gods and falling to the warp. They are cold heartless killers bent to strive for the sound of the cries their tortured enemies give off. They live aboard vessels and live life as a raider or a pirate. At the head of a Cabal is an Archon, defended by fierce Incubi warriors. The Archon is a sight to be feared on the battlefield, he wears a mask of the face of a dead enemy leader to demoralize his opposition. The warriors of the Dark Eldar show no remorse for their victims. It is better to be killed by them rather than be taken prisoner and be tortured for the rest of your life, being kept alive by the technological wonders of the Eldar. Being captured by the Dark Eldar is to experience death uncountable times for the rest of your life, and live through it all.


tau.jpg

The Tau are an honorable and young race. For their age they have advanced in technology at an incredible rate. Their technology has already surpassed that of the Imperium and their openess to willing races has created a diverse and powerful force. The Tau warriors live by one of two paths. The Mont'ka, the Killing Blow relies of powerful superior weaponry. While the path of Kauyon or the Patient Hunter, relies of stealth and precision. But it's not just the Tau who fight for their cause. They have enlisted the help of the Kroot, a savage but noble race who's mellee prowess is unmached. And the insect like Vespid, who act as the Tau shock troopers. With all of the diverse power the Tau are not to be underestimated. They also bring to field incredible Battle Suits, the most notable is the XV8 Crisis Battle Suit, this powerful war machine is a single pilot operated weapon of war. Only the most revered warriors get to pilot such a machine. Great leaders have the priveledge to wear the XV89 Battle Suit. And known vehicle operators get to wear the armed to the teeth XV88 Broadside Battle Suit, which brings to bear two powerful Rail Guns capable of piercing the thickest of armors. They fight for the Greater Good and will kill anybody who wont accept their cause.


Daemonhunter40k.jpg

The Inquisition is the Emperors special forces among the elite. When a daemon presence has made itself visible and powerful they are sent in, among them are the best of the best in the Imperium, from Storm Troopers, to Space Marines. The veteran Space Marines know as the Gray Knights are armed and armored so gloriously it makes even the Space Marines jealous. Using force weapons at close range to disable the power of a psycher. Or a Incinerator, a flame thrower of undefendable strength and heat. To the Psycannon, a rapid firing 'psychic' cannon. The leaders of the Inquisition are the Inquisitors. These proven warriors that are second to the Primarchs have to right to conscript the forces of the Imperium when needed. Regiments of Imperial Guard or even a chapter of Space Marines must obey and fight, or they will killed where they stand being declared heretics to the Imperium.


840914-sister_of_battle_color_large.jpg

The Sisters of Battle are fanatical female warriors. They wear power armor and wield Bolters, one might think they are female space marines, the truth is they are a part of the Inquisition. But unlike daemons, they hunt witches. They follow a strong code of hiearchy and believe that fire is the only way to purge the unclean.

BTW this is a forum text RP, I also just did a MAJOR overhaul on the thread, this update now shows the idividual races incase you didn't know them. I'm still thinking about allowing Necrons as a playable race, maybe you guys can convince me to. Just updating so I can show this thread is still something I want to happen.

Great character Gyrosphinx but I'm afraid I have to decline it, Vastroyans are already in their own battle with Grand-Marshal Durov (Imperial Guard Codex Galaxy Map P.26 + 27), Scantra is a planet on the edge of Cadian space

Being so closely tied to Cadia, they use their gear, technology, tactics, and traditions.

You can keep the personality and the name and what not, just the Regiment and appearance you have to change. Alternatively you can be part of 8th Cadian 'The Lord Castellans Own' Regiment as a transfer.

Hmm... Gotta think a little then... I'll post an edited character tomorrow or tonight.

EDIT: Since the Vostroyan Regiments are the only Imperial Guard regiments that get continous reinforcements, would it work that say the 114th regiment has been transferred because of greater need in Cadian space? After all, they should have a lot of troops already defending Vostroya, but then again Games Workshop loves insanely big numbers and Vostroya needs all its soldiers to defend itself from the attackers's insanely huge army.

Great. I'll be heavily delayed on accepting it. I'm leaving town for three weeks and will have no access to a computer. This thread may seem dead but it's not. So everybody else seeing this post, keep submitting characters, I'll accept them when I get back on the 21st of August.
