The Grim Crusade

@Jbcool Guys I found this game's Horus Lupercal.

@agentmanatee You can talk about your ideas with me pre-emptively, just to make sure they're reasonable, but actual character sheets won't arise until the OOC thread itself is made, which will probably be during the weekend. And yes, you will be making your own Legions too.

The Grim Crusade

@Roosan That should be fine. I'd need to make sure it's not too much, but something like wings should be reasonable enough, as is pyskerism and blankism, of course.

@Jbcool Alright, you make a fair point. I wanted to make sure people saw the thread, but I guess all the, uh, mentions would've done the job well enough. My bad.

The Grim Crusade

@agentmanatee The goal is twenty Primarchs, yes. However, we don't need to have every Primarch slot filled at the start; I'm thinking the game will start with the Emperor beginning his Webway project, with however many Primarchs in play at that point being dealt with accordingly, and any future Primarchs being discovered as the game progresses.

@Jbcool Oh, sorry. I was just looking at the Advanced WH40K games for players who might be interested, most of which happen to be owned by you... my apologies. Glad to have you on board, though. Actually, do you mind if I ask what you mean by "head-hunting" in this context? I'm seeing two possible meanings, and I just want to be clear on which one you mean.

@Lord Coake Glad to have you on board, friend.

@Roosan Oh, right, yeah. No, they do still have to be human. Or at least human-derived, given that that's what the Emperor is and/or had to work with, plus or minus whatever animals were available on Terra in the 30th millenium. I think, after further consideration, most forms of stable abhuman present in the 40K 'verse (e.g. ogryns and ratlings) wouldn't be accessible either, given their evolution on other planets and whatnot, and since the human-like Primarchs themselves would be more powerful than any abhuman regardless. Outright mutation might also need to be double-checked by me, since there are obvious issues with having a guy with tentacle teeth as the leader of a supposedly-human group of super soldiers, and the Emperor did not like mutants as-is. There isn't exactly a limit on psykers and such, though, so go nuts with those if you like.

The Grim Crusade

@Roosan I will be controlling the Emperor, yes, and most likely a number of other NPCs where relevant. That said, you can make your Primarch in whatever way you like. They can be a psyker, a blank, maybe even a mutant, whatever works. Your characters don't explicitly need to be parallels to those in canon. Similarly, the story will develop based on player actions - as @agentmanatee says, it's up to you guys whether a betrayal/Heresy-esque event occurs at any point.

@Roosan How shocking, for I too am from the area known as "Great Britain". Anyway, I'm running a 40K game. Any takers?

The Grim Crusade

About a year ago, @Bright_Ops created a game called The Grand Crusade, a sort of AU to the setting of Warhammer 40000 where every Primarch was replaced by alternatives controlled by the players. It unfortunately ended prematurely, for reasons explained in the thread; however, its existence was recently brought to my attention via thread necromancy, and I actually found it quite interesting as a concept. I've since been inspired to recreate it in a way that might even be semi-feasible within the context of WH40K itself, with @Bright_Ops' permission (special thanks to him, by the by), and since step 1 generally involves creating an interest thread, here it is.

@Roosan Actually, Tyranids are apparently completely immune to Chaos fuckery due to how the Shadow in the Warp works, i.e. basically Warp static, which is why Warp travel near a Tyranid fleet is impossible, and why all the psykers on a planet die horribly prior to an invasion. If they invaded the galaxy full-force, they'd probably drown the Chaos Gods outright. Or the equivalent of that, anyway. In any case, the Octarius War is definitely a thing that happened/is happening in canon.

@Roosan Seems legit. Isn't that basically what's happening on that one planet already, and the Orks and Tyranids there are locked in stalemate, becoming absurdly massive and powerful as a result?
