They're not making money off of it, and they're not in Germany where German copyright law says they own part of the IP if they make fan movies/games. So I wouldn't worry.

This was a sidebar mockup when it was talked about using pixel art-ish stuff for an interface. I don't know if that's still the way they're going though.

>>16613145

the rough plan is to build it in vb for the prototype and first few launches, eventually switching over to a proper graphics library to show off more of this sweetness

>>16613148

That's brilliant. I need to play around with custom chapters, I've been sticking to the First chapters until I've really learned the ropes.

Enjoy being hunted down by a GW hit squad

>>16613145
we're currently thinking about which language to use (its probably going to be c++) and which kind of art-style, after that we're probably going to decide how the gui will be like

so let me get this straight in my head. That "make your own story" marine threads have in fact inspired some intrepid anons to build the actual game.

I will monitor this with interest.

have you tried staying pure but breaking the codex astartes? it's hilarious the shenanigans you can pull while the other chapters get beaten the fuck out of - my favourite is building up a hundred+ devastator companies then hunting down speed freak ork clans. the amount of bike kills i've got is ungodly, and almost makes up for the lost rep with any chapters that manage to witness my epic skeet shoots -.-

ooohhhhhh that's pretty.

Please tell me it's an original bit of work for CM.

>>16613219

The more you deviate from the Codex, the higher chance it is (once per turn) that someone in the chapter will tip you off to the Inquisition, which means they'll start an 'investigation' (Read: Your Chapter has Fallen)

>>16613221
it is,
there is already lots of art and artmarines willing to help,

>>16613179

Is that bit of art yours, and do you mind me having a go at doing it in pixel art?

>>16613229

there are ways to mitigate it though, such as being massively isolationist (cutting trade, negotiations etc), really high purity or having a massive rep. not even the =][= is immune to peer pressure ^_^

Why has this thread fallen silent?
Are you heretics /tg/ ?

>>16613317

Actually it was pointed out that if GW does get wind of it, they'll probably let it go since it's free advertising for their IP, and might even push up sales a little. With that in mind they might send a cursory C&D letter, but then quietly let it slide.

Or if not, we finish making it anyway, and distribute it P2P.

That was pretty awesome, though far from intuitive. As a UI, it's simple and effective.
My only thing was, I had no idea what the results for the actions meant.
Are casualties deaths, injuries, or both?

>>16613455
there is no difference between injuries and deaths right now

>>16613484

That question was just a curiosity, not anything I actually saw wrong with it. I guess my issue is more that playing it seemed like I was using a modded-to-be-40k Texas Instrument, and less combat simulator, in simplified text format.

But I recognize this is just a start, and I have no inside information on where you guys intend to take it come release, so it's not a serious complaint. Not even really a complaint, just an observation.

>>16613484
i will add some kind of armor-roll to prevent marines from instantly dying

I am a composition student and would be interested in writing or realising some music for this project if this is required. Who should I email about this?

>>16613540
You should join the freenode IRC channel.
#chaptermaster
And there discuss it. Or post on the forums.
If you must email someone, I think Jareddm is taking emails. He's on the freenode right now, and at a lot of hours.

So will the Primarchs be making a cameo?

>>16613229
The =I= doesn't give half a fuck if you follow the Codex or not.
That's the Ultramarines' business.

>>16613587
No.
Primarchs belong in the Horus Heresy. This is Grim Dark Millennium Forty-One.

How does one guard his weapons and gear from being mysteriously gifted to the Blood Ravens?

>>16613592

>The =I= doesn't give half a fuck if you follow the Codex or not.
>That's the Ultramarines' business.

So, nobody is fearing another Horus Heresy, then?

>>16613623
Lots of chapters don't follow the Codex exactly.

will CM use fluff/movie marines or tabletop marines as the base line? or perhaps some kind of middle ground?

I've always enjoyed the fluff with marines noting their battle brothers missing part of an arm or getting a hole blasted into them and carrying on the fight like the inhuman monsters that they actually are.

and then are the even crazier marines...

>>16613650
Not the OP, but why don't you want that?
I guess I've never thought about it either way. Do they annoy you?

>>16613159
Current plan is pixel-based for the interface, but splash art will be canvas art.

>>16613650
Fuck that, I want a "Insert coin to play" screen

>>16613650
My understanding is that that screen will only look like that if no save data is detected, otherwise it will have "Load" and "New Game". And if we get other shit that would make sense to put there, then we'll put it there too.

>>16613637
maybe use tabletop marine for the grunts and fluff marines for Hero character.

The Inquisition doesn't care about you not following the codex if:
- You're one of the nine first founding chapters.
- You're a personal experiment of theirs.
- You're particularly loyal to them.
- You lack an iota of power and clout outside of your chapter.
- You show no sign of mutation.

Some Inquisitors might even encourage the... unorthodox expansion of particular over-zealous, truly loyal chapters that they are certain can be trusted, such as the Black Templars.

If you're an upstart new chapter with no connections to the first founding, with no respect for the Inquisition, with strange mutations and a tight grip on its home sector's politcs, the Inquisition WILL care if you start to not follow the limitations of the codex and their wrath WILL come down on you like the fist of an angry god.

seriously, why?

>>16613668
Its just an additional annoyance to deal with in games. The only games that do it or have ever done it are console games (for whatever reason they do it). There is absolutely no reason to have it and it just wastes people's time.

Yes, 2 seconds is time. You might sound like its nitpicking but it can be annoying when you just want to play the damn game but have to press buttons to pass some stupid arbitrary screen that serves no purpose.

That's not to say I don't like the Aquila and stuff, I do like it and think it should be in the game. But if you put the menu seen in >>16613141 to the side of the game screen then you can easily have that next to the full menu. There's absolutely no need for a "press start on your controller to play" screen.

Again I reiterate, it wastes time and serves no purpose. Yes, 2 seconds (or whatever) is time.

Sounds like a variation of the Soul Drinkers. Go renegade, man. Hightail it out of there.

>>16614381
This shit needs to be expanded upon. If you help or get help from other chapters there will the option of exchanging gifts. It is not optional with BRs and no, you do not get to choose when gifting with BRs.

>>16614716
How's your reputation with the different Ordos? Unless it's bad a geneseed mutation shouldn't cause too much trouble.

>>16614733

Think so? What's the number crunch on going renegade? Am I gonna have to fight my loyalist brothers inside the chapter or will they just do what I say?

>>16614768
This, other chapters get away with fangs, rage mutations, obisidan skin and bone scythes from their elbows.

Even IG fields mutants. It's all cool as long as you call it "abhumans".

Hmmm. Yeah, maybe you should see what the Inquisition thinks. Like the others said, how's your rep with the Ordos?

>>16614783
It depends on their loyalty to you and their piety, but you should have few dissenters. You'll lose reputation with all loyalists, but if you're good friends with someone now, they'll probably be neutral at worst. I don't recommend it in this situation, though. Geneseed mutation really isn't that big a deal. It's not like chaos mutations.

some AA would be nice for those jagged edges, imo.

This thread. All of it. But especially the people who are working on this game.

The Inquisition's job is not to play police for Rowboat's little project. They have literally a million and one more important things to worry about, things that actually matter in the grand scheme of things, then if some chapter decides it wants to convert a tactical company to a second devastator company, or it wants to have its marines start off as assault marines.

Sure, theres always that one wackjob that thinks that enforcing the codex is their job, but those problems tend to solve themselves, either at the hand of a slighted chapter, or by his own colleagues to prevent a potentially imperium wide shitstorm.

If enforcing the Codex was their job, frankly, they goddamn suck at it, since they've completely flopped on the Space Wolves, Black Templar, Salamanders, Iron Hands, and probably one or more other chapters I'm forgetting. And all those chapters successor chapters.

>>16617361
>not to play police for Rowboat's little project
>Not keep watch on the self-contained orders of transhuman killing machines which have been shown repeatedly to have the capacity to rebel

What.

Codex alignment is a basis the Inquisition has to ensure that individual Chapters aren't accruing too much power. Will they let deviancy slide if it's provable that the circumstances require it? Yes.

But if they don't watch that shit constantly you get shit like Lufgt Huron and the Astral Claws. And no one in the Inquisition wants another Badab War.

>>16614598
>>16617631
I would like to see literally OOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE instance of the Inquisition even giving a single shit about Codex deviation in fluff.

The Inquisition gives a shit about:
- Astartes talking shit to the Inquisition (Celestial Lions)
- Astartes taking post-battle breaks to start eating mass quantities of Imperial citizens (Knights of Blood)
- Hoarding imperial tithes for yourself (Badab bullshit) and I'm not sure that was handled by the Inquisition

Not a single scrap of fluff has ever implied the Inquisition cares about the codex astartes. I'm not even sure any Inquisitors or acolytes have even commented on the Codex Astartes.

Not to mention the Inquisition has two astartes chamber militants, neither are CA-approved.

>>16617697
I mentioned one. You know, the Astral Claws. Guys who completely ignored the Codex and tried to form their own Legion? Yeah, there you go.

The Badab conflict started over tithes. It escalated because the Astral Claws were flagrantly violating the letter and the SPIRIT of the Codex.

>>16617716

No, I'm pretty sure its the way Huron first denied imperial tithes, then blew up a fleet sent to investigate.

>>16613114
if this ever becomes a real viable thing.... I will just.... I don't even know but I will love /tg/ more than I love almost anything in the world. Godspeed gentlemen.

>>16617776
You do not seem to understand what the words "started" and "escalated" mean, good sir. Huron had what, four Chapters worth of Marines with plans to make more? Huron ignored the dictates of the Codex Astartes which said "Astartes do their own thing, THEY DON'T RUN SHIT IN THE IMPERIUM."

The entire conflict stemmed from that decision. The organizational heresies were just extra. The Codex is an organizational tool and source of strategic insight, but it is also a power-limiting tool, to ensure that the Astartes as a whole are not seen as a threat by the Imperium and thereby maintaining Space Marine sovereignty.

Wow, this is actually happening.
I love you, /tg/. You are gentlemen and scholars all, and you get shit done.

>Holy shit, are those the Gauntlets of Ultramar? GET!

So. Many. Tears.

>>16617819
Not any of the other posters, but the inquisition showed no concern or interest in the Astral Claws. It was the traders tasked with bringing tithes to the High Lord of Terra that first started worrying.

And even then, the high lords of terra were angry at the traders, not the Astral Claws.

The problem arose when space marines were openly engaging in civil conflict. Thats the kind of thing that starts civil wars. The High Lords of Terra mobilised forces to stop the civil war, not Huron.

And it was the lords of terra that mobilised quote 'an envoy' from the inquisition. Implying now, under request of High Lords of Terra, the inquisition was investigating them. And basically, it was going to be for one of three things. Witches, Xenos or Demons. Because that's what the inquisition deals with. Not space marine civil wars.

Lets abstract it slightly. This is a feudal system. The High Lords of Terra are the kings. Imagine yourself in the 'king's' position. The Space Marines are the lords and their forces. Do you care that one of your lords has a bigger plot of land than anyone else? Do you care that he has more soldiers? No! It's not even that much of a problem immediately when he runs behind on his tithe, you can send another lord and his forces to attack them then. But you don't want to do that immediately, because open war between your lords is the worst thing that can happen, because it creates turmoil, and breaks the system.

Inquisition wouldn't care. They're Inquisitors. They Enquire. They Investigate. They keep records and search for heresy. Tithe lagging and empire building aren't their field.

>Two battle companies
>Eight Devastator reserves
>Two Scout Companies

Check it out. Because I have two battle companies, I get to have two battleforces. Each battleforce is made up of six tac, two assault, and FORTY-TWO devastator squads, plus some scouts. Yeah, force balance is fucked, that's why the two scout companies, the assault squads die every time. But hot damn does my chapter DESTROY two targets per turn.

>>16617819
So far, we still have nothing to suggest the Inquisition's job includes enforcing the Codex Astartes, because the Inquisition has never, ever investigated anyone just for that, nor punished anyone for that, nor has an Inquisitor or Acolyte ever remarked that they care.

Its not even a foregone conclusion that the Inquisition would be sympathetic to the CA, because neither astartes-based chamber militant abides by the CA, and not even the Ultramarines abide by the CA.

>Huron ignored the dictates of the Codex Astartes which said "Astartes do their own thing, THEY DON'T RUN SHIT IN THE IMPERIUM."
Also ignoring that: The goddamn Ultramarines.

>>16619401
Oh u noticed

>>16619401
Yeah, I know. The Ultramarines don't follow that for several reasons. Ultramar was around before it was integrated into the Imperium after all. The other First Founding Chapters generally accepted the Codex simply because they'd taken the majority of casualties in the Heresy and the ones tat didn't no one wanted to fuck with.

The Codex was essentially Guilleman's way of consolidating all Astartes power under one overarching system, which both made his Legion premier (which he wanted), kept the regular humans of the Imperium from virus-bombing them all (which he also wanted) and it streamlined the overall organization of the Adeptus Astartes, from Foundings to rebuilding Chapters.

Essentially, Guilleman sided with the High Lords during the aftermath of the Heresy, got some perks for his Chapter, and laid down several strictures which are NOT supposed to be broken. And shit, even Ultramar pays their tithes.

Citizens who fail to meet their quotas will meet Him-on-Terra instead.

>>16619488
>Ultramar pays their tithes.

Space Marine worlds are Adeptus Non tithe grade. They pay only with their service.

>>16619693
Last I checked, only Macragge was Adeptus Non. The rest of Ultramar pays tithes, or so I thought.

>>16619693
>>16619765
And either way they do have to pay a tithe in gene-seed.

>>16619765
I was under the impression that Ultramar's tithe is collected centrally and "redistributed" via Macragge (which is itself Adeptus Non).

Heads up, Eldar will ignore your fortifications and just do whatever they set out to do. Others might to if they have an objective that your fort doesn't disrupt, for all I know, but in my experience every type of Eldar will do it every time.

>Repostin'
"…now the Master of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica shall come forward, and consult the Emperor's Tarot to establish the agenda."
"Let it be done," the chant rang out.
The ancient psyker, hunched under the weight of his arcane technology, stalked forth onto the floor. Circled by the spiteful eyes of the other eleven High Lords, and that grim statue of the Emperor's effigy, he drew in his breath. At his waist, he unclasped a small box. He could have commanded it to automatically shuffle, for each psychically-attuned card could play the role of any other, but the demands of tradition bid him take the slow path.
Drawing out the packet of liquid crystal wafers, he set them out on the small, flat-topped podium. He split them into stacks, cut them twelve times each for the High Lords and once for the Emperor of Mankind, and gathered them back together.
Then, with another intake of breath, he drew the first card, placing it delicately on the ancient tabletop.
"The Emperor of Mandatio!" cried the sycophant, and the cheer went up. In the Council of High Lords, the Emperor was always the first card to reveal itself. On that card, a wizened figure locked in a prison of gold, the Overlord of the Imperium, the Master of Mankind. Whose divine overwatch surveyed and foresaw…

>>16623715
"Absolute control, the authority to rule over men! Blessed His name, and His Will be done!"
Four to go. Another rasping breath. The tubes in his nose were chafing. He laid the next card in place.
"The Star trump!" cried the sycophant, and the lords looked up from their displays and documents. The Star was new beginnings. Second in the order, it could only mean that the Emperor willed a new endeavor to begin. On the card, a burning protoplanetary disc, a vortex of violence and potential.
"Creation, undertaking, new beginnings!"
Three to go. Another rasping breath. His nose hurt. He drew the next…
"The Savage of Excuteria!" cried the sycophant, and the lords were truly interested now. There were mutters of 'Crusade?' and 'Invasion?'. Litanies against the alien, the mutant, the traitor fluttered through the chamber like parchments cast out of a high window. Across the card the greenskinned Ork prowled forwards, and off the edge- and another alien entered the plate, less familiar by far. Another still. An unending procession of the Emperor's foes paraded beneath the psychoplastic surface.
"Conflict! Problems!"

>>16623722
Two to go. Another rasping breath. The Master of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica was bleeding now. It trickled down his nasal tube and away, under his high collar. Drops of blood rolled across his tattoo-drowned chest. He turned the next card.
"The Destroyer of Adeptio!" cried the sycophant, and the eleven lords were craning their necks. The Lord Commander summoned messengers to prepare for the impending crusade. The Fabricator General clicked in the tongue of servo-skulls, and his personal flock departed to ready the forges. Nobody saw what the Inquisitorial Representative did, but they were sure he that he had done something. A warship in decked in gleaming heraldry, roaring through space…
One to go. Another rasping breath. Finish the circle. Read the spread. He reached out…
"The Space Marine of Adeptio!" cried the sycophant, and the gasps went round. Orders were cancelled. Some Lords rose to their feet, others sank into their chairs in silent prayer. A Chapter Master in his offices, tending to the affairs of his army...Not in living memory had…

>>16623726
"The triumph of mind over matter, of willpower over the threat!"
"…The Master of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica interprets," he said.
He gazed down at the ring of cards. The Emperor gazed up at him. Not in living memory…
"The time of a new Founding has come! His Will be done in the mortal realm as in the Immaterium!"
And now at last he could retire to his chair, and his attendants could wipe the blood away. He turned, unconcerned with the jubilation and determination that had overcome the chamber. His task was done.

Is any of this available for testing yet? I assume people have some sort of alpha version from somewhere considering they amount of feedback.

So here's how that turns out to work:
>Recruiting done by diplomacy and random event only
>Battles are event chains only, without combat rounds. There's not many of these, as they're all Deathwatch-specific they start to repeat pretty soon with only name swaps. If the content weren't so limited, Deathwatch would be a neat adventure mode sort of thing.

>3 Librarians, 3 Apothecaries, 2 Chaplains, 1 Dread, 4 Techmarines, 2 Kill-Marines, tons of vehicle and weapon packs, stupid fleet for so few marines.
>Untouchable rep with the Inquisition.

It's an interesting variant, to say the least.

>Working on my 'Alpha Legion' Chapter

Had that happened to someone else, I would have simply chuckled. Instead, it happened to me. I shed a few tears for my loyalist brothers.

>>16627805
I realize that the whole "Codex does not support this" came about from some retarded retcons and that Space Marine game, but it does bring up a very important question.

What, exactly, does the Codex approve of? What are sanctioned strategies, organizational tools, litanies, etc. We need to define what the Codex approves of if we want to talk about how "The Codex Astartes does not support this action."

>>16629081
Not to sound like a lazy bastard, but that is a huge undertaking. I'm not quite sure if there is one major volume attributed to the Codex Astartes; there may just be snippets of do's and do not's in various rulebooks and novels.

Then again, I could be talking out of my ass. You decide!

>Playing berserkers from 21st founding
>The High Lords request an audit from your chapter
>Fuck, we're dead
>Can't do anything for like 700 turns
>Come back
>Chapter Master has Custodes spear
>Full Terminator and MK8 stocks
Oh yeah.

>>16629081
We only need to apply what we *know* the codex forbids.
Remember that the Codex isn't as much a rulebook as a grim dark Art of War. It's open to interpretation in many places, but it recommends a ratio of one chariot for every hundred spearmen. To the ultramarines, that's more than a recommendation. To others, it's just a suggestion.

>>16629081
>>16629102
i dont believe we have ever seen anything larger than a passage or two from the Codex Astartes. One of the Ultramarines novels (the fifth one i believe) shows the original copy...or original copies, i shoud say. there were multiple volumes, all chained to a table in the Librarium center, and may or may not have had stasis feilds

Hey, please DON'T make it overly Gothic when you're doing your aesthetic.

Think early third edition art style. That would be ideal.

ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC. DON'T DO THE SAME, TIRED AND BORING MUSIC. JUST LIKE YOU SHOULDN'T DO THE SAME, TIRED, BORING LOLGOTHIC ARCHITECTURE. USE ELEMENTS BUT COME THE FUCK ON NOW. THERE IS PLENTY OF 40K ARTWORK THAT LOOKS UTILITARIAN -AND- DARK.

Just look at early third edition stuff. You'll get the idea.

Bump for the bump throne.

>>16629306
Project artmarine here.
>early third edition
Often extremely lolgothic. Pic related among many others.
But yeah. I know what you mean. There was often that heavy, bleak, monolithic concrete thing going on. The 3rd edition rulebook is some of my favorite 40k art. A huge variety of style and subject, but a really consistent tone. They put a lot of work and coordination into that one and it shows.

A composer has volunteered, based on this comment of his:
>'d love to do some lush and dramatic Romantic orchestral and choral stuff, think Brahms requiem or one of the Bruckner masses, but grimdarkier, obviously. I'd also like to employ more avant garde or electronic styles. My goal would simply to create something aesthetically appropriate and consistent, without it overpowering any other element.

So did this guy just steal a whole chapter and lied his ass off, or do you reckon there's something out there that could take them all on? He had like three ships under his command, so it must have been something nasty..

>>16632886
Iunno, something that tells you what's going on in the pic.

Is this enough STUFF?

>>16632987
It's not bad, but it's weird that the focus is on the dred while you have a shiny bright glass window right in the center of the picture. My eyes go there first.

>>16632987
It's better. I don't know if there's quite enough bling on everything, but it gives enough movement and life to make it seem like a room that sees constant presence and use without making it cluttered.

>>16632987
>>16633018
Also, it hurts that the dreadnought is completely gray. I suppose that's because the Vanilla Marines do not have an established color, and ideally the dred would be colored in whatever colors you choose for the Chapter.

What is this...I'm dreadfully confused.

>>16613204

This picture reminds me of LOOM.

WHY WAS THERE NEVER A SEQUEL TO THAT GAME?

>>16632886

Stuff that obscures the stained-glass window in the center and leads our eyes to the dreadnaught

Though honestly I'd say move the dread to the center so we can look at it from the front, and have technmarines and shit working on it there. Then eyes go
>Stained Glass Window
>down
>Dreadnaught
>everything else

Which would work good too

>>16632987
>>16633103
What if you moved the glass window (and its lighting effects) half-the-canvass towards the dreadnought, and in the center of the picture, added more servitors and cogitators and servo skulls and whatnot?

?

>>16633248

Top one is muuuuuuuch better

Bottom one I was thinking the dread would be a little bit smaller. Treat the stained-glass as a metaphor for haloes, and I mean the gold rings of light around peoples' heads, not the vidya.

>>16633284

Also the dread in the bottom picture looks like it's laying down rather than standing up.

You could do something like this.

>>16633248

The bottom one is onto something, but the dreadnought's position makes it look like the lighting effect coming out of the stained glass window.

Instead maybe position it facing the viewer directly in front of the window so that its shadow stretches to the bottom, surrounded on either side by the slivers of light getting through?

>>16633198
>last chapter had all the Librarians get their brains Enslavered

You were one lucky sonovabitch they didn't get a chance to start breeding. I just had my Librarians locked up while I had them studied. I wanted to see if there was a way to sick the Enslavers on Daemons or any of my many, many (manymanymany) foes.

Turns out no, but they DO lay millions of eggs, and they don't take as long you'd hope to hatch...

Yeah, lets just say that galaxy is about to take a preetttyyyy big hit. I'm already Enlsaved so eh, how bad

>>16633319
That's because it is.

If it were standing tall it'd block the entire window.
I'm trying to do things somewhat to scale.

>>16633378

Well, why not scale the room (and window) to be a bit bigger than it is currently?

40K loves its shit huge, so it wouldn't be that far off.

Everyone who works on this, regardless if you finish it or not. You are great persons and I do love you wholeheartedly!

>>16632919
I sure hope you mean you leant him a company not chapter.

Thanks for your input, this is gonna be the final revision.

>>16633777

That's good. Still think it's strange to have a dreadnaught lying down but that's still much better than the original.

>>16633806
The DoW2 dreads had an ability that'd make them lie down, auto-repair and provide cover.

I assume it's A-ok for them to be in that stance.

I'm pretty certain dreadnoughts do not ever lay down. It looks much better when it's standing. Laying down, its legs look all bent. It looks weird, I don't like it anymore.

>>16632851

I know theres new incarnations of this, but this seems like the best one.

However, given how I've read the dreanaught 'reawakenings' in the Night Lords books and The Battle of the Fang, shouldn't it just be a massive crypt with ~10 of the honoured dead in sarcophagus' on a wall on one side, and then all the actual Dread parts on the other?

How do you do that? Put gibberish together so that it looks like actual speech, yet has no rational meaning?

Reading all this green texts it has occured to me, that the game would need away to request Inquisitorial or Guard/PDF assistance. Marines aren't made to hold territory on their own.

>>16638557
Investigate it. Maiden Worlds may have Exodite commuities or ancient ruins. Just check the ancient ruins again in case they are Old Ones (meh), Necrontyr (EXTERMINATUS) or DOTA (FUCK YES).

>>16639310
Those are called Word Salads.

>>16639447
That's right, they aren't. But what the game should have is the Inquisition and the Guard requesting the marines' help, and the marines not trying to hold any territory but their homeworlds. To exceed one's task is heresy, citizen.

>mfw I'm charged by the =][= for neglecting my oaths to defend the system
That's not right. It should be the Adeptus Arbites that do that.

I think we are kind of making the Inquisition out to be a lot more powerful than they are.

One inquisitor can't just show up and declare heresy over a chapter or even exterminatus over some random world. He needs to have a concrete reason and if he doesn't he will get assraped by the rest of the Inquisition the moment they conduct a peer review.

The Inquisition also has NO authority over space marines. They can show up and request help and cooperation but they do so on the marine's terms. The marines can and will tell them to fuck off sometimes. See: Fenris.

>>16651431
The Inquisition isn't responsible for holding Space Marines to oaths that don't involve them. (or anyone else for that matter)

The people in this scenario who have a legitimate beef are the people from that planet. (who are probably all dead). And even then the marines could just go DEAL WITH IT.

>>16651640
The other people who would have a beef are the Adeptus Arbites, not the Inquisition. Like I just said.

>>16651771

>>16651624
Depends on the Chapter. A First Founding chapter like the Space Wolves draped in glory? Yes, you can tell the Inquisition to fuck off.

A later Founding Chapter who deals in Chaos Artifacts like the Relictors? Time for Excommunicate Traitoris.

>Possess Dark Age VR Training Device
>Recruits keep making fun of the Tech Priest overseeing it
>He starts to get sloppy and self absorbed
>Entire Chapter destroyed by VR daemons

>>16651624
That's purely dependent on how powerful you are, which is determined by your Glory and how well respected you are. If you're powerful enough, they'll throw an inquisitor under the bus to avoid antagonizing you no matter how legit his evidence against you is. But if you're a little nobody chapter, you can be declared heretical just for being rude.

Jokareo happen when you get trolled by the inquisition and you are actually able to pay up. It happens really really rare. What happens is that the Jokareo gives your chapter master a baleful eye and part of your chapter fucking digi weapons. It's glorious. Though you fucked up by giving cypher to the =][=, Dark Angels reward is way the fuck better

Hell in a Bottle.

Turns out the real reason you don't here about Primarch Rubicon and the 2nd Legion is because they play too much Call of Duty.

>>16652023
The author said that he accidentally called Rubinek the Primarch of the Iron Hearts instead of the Chapter Master. Tis a shame, those were awesome names for a chapter and marines.

Dark Angels' rewards can get kind of overpowered, they're up there with Iron Hands and Salamanders rewards in terms of old tech.

DOES IT GET ANY BETTER? THIS SHIT IS SO BORING!

Depends. How many Relics have you found?>>16652056
Jokaero can be the most overpowered reward in the game, well if you get the grey knights patch, but with a regular chapter you can use the Jokaero multiple times if you are able to keep it engaged. A Jokaero equipped chapter can be fuck awesome, so long as you only get good stuff.

So far I have about 10 or 20 smaller trinkets and 3 or 4 of the larger ones.

excuse my slowpoke, but what is this? i'm highly interested.

Can someone please drop the irc # so I can lurk like a non productive toolbox?

The Emperor's work is never done!

I need some ideas for greentext. What are some parts of the game that haven't got much mention?

>>16618574

The Lamentors should be the only chapter in the game, precreated or custom made, that has a secret reroll whenever a random roll ends up being a success.

>>16653756
It's on the Freenode server, which google will give you details on. #chaptermaster

>>16652168
Have a look here, and excuse the currently incomplete state of the wiki: http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Chapter_Master_(game)

>>16653757
This may be overly specific, but I have no idea how we maintain the feel of a game oriented around the chapter master and not a company captain and keep the chapter master appraised of events on the ground some task force is deployed on.

Other than that? The internal politics of the specialist teams. Techmarines arguan with other techmarines, chaplains with chaplains, lirbrarians, apothecaries, etc.

I have no fucking idea if anyone can shoehorn some good ideas in that involve that.

Also, genuine comic relief rather than >this fucking game

Oh man. I want to roll up a lost, loyalist cadre of Emperor's Children.

Whenever you run into the =][=, they try to execute you for HERESY, so you have to play a sort of Batman-ish chapter that serves the Imperium but avoids being seen. And you have no recruiting worlds, so you only recruit from people lost on Spacehulks or something.
