Redemption: Shadows of Esarion

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

I just used it in the narrative sense, so it'd be easier to tell who was talking and interacting with who. Xega won't call him by his name until he actually learns it in character.

@Zeroth

Ahh I see then ^^

@ZerothCan I just point out that Edoric hasn't actually said his name to anyone? :p

@BCTheEntityI actually talked to Yenn through RPG's chat not skype

I'm asking since the current idea/pragmatic for the Primarch I have in mind is something of a very pragmatic genius engineer whose home system kinda got torn to literal pieces with one of his accomplishments was basically creating a new moon/planet by anchoring and stapling the planetary rocky chunks back together so I'm not exactuly sure on how he'd be able to draw up on new worlds.

That said, I just got another idea that perhaps he landed in a system mostly destroyed but still has a few habitable planet who make a living from harvesting and mining the remains of the system around it. Sounds a bit more plausable to me at least.

Pardon my general stupidity when it comes to this, I haven't ever really looked at the Primarchs or the Great Crusde in depth prior to this

I have a feeling this is a really stupid question, but is the Primarch's homeworld/homesystem the one which their Legion will be stationed in? >//<

EDIT: Also got the web skype thing working so yey :D

My empire is composed of cast-off bits of other empires, or at least, that was my original idea. So some form of contact would be nice.

You could have some renegade/rouge/lost Memoria Fleet ships if you want ^^

@ClocktowerEchos

What happens if/when he runs out of Astartes to drop onto the enemy?

He isn't stupid, granted, but attrition on the legion via his usual strategy would surely eventually lead to him just plain having no-one left, even if he managed to collect every progenoid gland from his marines.

That's my only gripe, the rest looks pretty awesome.

@Jbcool

Thanks :)

As for the tactics, I did some more thinking about it and came up with some more details.

His troops are never used as the spearhead of a force and will only drop as a supporting element. They would also drop right behind the front lines instead of deep into enemy territory and act as a pincer for a hammer-anvil move as his soldiers fight towards the Imperial battle lines, hoping to cause holes in the lines to be exploited. In that way, the main force can fight smaller, more isolated pockets of enemies instead of one giant, unified line.

Once the troops rejoin friendly lines, they will have a short respite in the back lines to rearm/resupply/tend to the wounded before joining back in the fight, either as normal front line soldiers or more commonly manning defensive positions to make sure that the enemy doesn't try to do the same thing they just did and also provide general defensive security.

Is that a more sound strategy?

Eventually he'll end up with an all-dreadnought legion, and can drop those in.

With @LHG100 stating his interest, I suppose I should also state my own as well as my ideas. Again, I've talked to Yennefir and read up on the OP to try to make something decent.

My idea for a Primarch is basically a guy who ends up in the hands of a scavenger clan who are one of many in a system rekt by metors, warp storms and a few hundred Orks. He grows up much like everyone else, scavenging and mining in the depths of space, hoping his space suit doesn't rupture or Orks decide they want some tea. However, as he grew it was clear that he was very adept at egineering and jury-rigging. Enough to the point to impress the AdMech and also getting as "Orky" with his jury rigging as (in)humanly (so no red paint speed boasts or purple stealth camo).

Eventually he would "unite" the scavenger clans, push the Orks out even even create these giant "world anchors" that would connect bits of space rock and astroids into something remotely livable. Through his efforts he had created a moon-sized celestial body and would be crowned ruler of said new "planet".

Personality wise, he's an extreme pragmatist and very resourceful, however its his pragmatist side people tend to notice more as his "tactic" for leading his Legion is literally summed up as:

Step 1) Load crap into drop pod with Space Marines in them
Step 2) Drop said Drop Pods full of guns and SPs from orbit into someplace that looks important
Step 3) Let all hell break loose

Talvyrn Gallogoth (the Primarch's name), isn't stupid or whatever, he just doesn't feel the need to make complicated battle strategies when his current one works out just find for him. The legion he'd lead would be the XIX Legion (name pending) would basically be Elysian Drop Troops on steroids in a way as they heavily rely on shock value for their attacks while also digging in so they remain a nuisance after the initial shock.

That sound good to everyone? I fear that it might be a bit too over the top or otherwise unfitting for this RP so feedback is always welcomed ^^
