I have had an idea for a good jolly-fun-old-chap long-term RP. Set in the final year of the Horus Heresy, when the Imperium of Man is at it's weakest, when it's holiest place is besieged by dark forces(tm).We work from there.We decide if the Crusade continues or if the forces have a standoff, not daring to attack the others. Here is how it will work. You will have to claim in two ways:
1)You will have to claim a chapter of Marines or Imperial Guard Regiment.
2)The home base of your chapter or Regiment.
Planetary Claims:
You can claim 1 planet and up to 5 moons, or no planets and up to 10 moons.The Imperium's forces will be much smaller, so Imperials can only claim 1 planet, 2 moons each, but Imperial planets and moons will be heavily defended.Chaos planets and moons won't, because of the rushed natre of the assault on Terra.

NB:For Imperial Guard I'm just making the names up.I can't be bothered to see if I can find any of the Guard regiments who fought.I will end up giving everyone a second tforce, if not third.I'm making up names of the Titan Legions.
MORE RULES (yay!)

Loyalist Titan legions Immediately go to either Terra or Mars, keep that in mind when picking a force.

Chaos Titan Legions can go where they wish.

Naval Fleets can't invade, they just blow stuff up.

Iron Warriors being expets in siege warfare, heavily fortify the planets they get.

OOC: Tag
Seems interesting...
I'd obviously be Chaos; maybe forces of the Warmaster; Sons of Horus. Or...maybe one of the other Legions...

I am going to allow ALL of the significant planetary bodies and moons in the solar system. :)

Now accepting requests for Chapters,Regiments and Worlds.
Here's the deal about worlds:Once you have your world, as long as it remains in your control you can get reinforcements (unless you are a Space Marine Chapter, in which case you cannot get any more men after you lose 1,000),so you can keep going.

Worlds can be invaded or bombarded.

Once you control someone's world,all you have to do is hunt them down.

Hmmm, I'll go Horus....Maybe :D
Course your forgetting the other Primarchs of Chaos; like Angron and Fulgrim

:rolleyes:

Much obliged, old chap.

Also, just to clarify. At that time the Grey Knights weren't fully formed and after the events of Istvaan and the Drop Site Massacres, and the reports of this by the Loyalists; the entire Imperium tears itself apart; brother fights brother on countless worlds; even on Mars where vast wars between loyalist and traitor Adeptus Mechanicus decimate the planet.

Truly smashing.

Sorry if I'm being annoying; but you want it to be good right? :P
Also, the Black Legion are the Sons of Horus; renamed by Abaddon after the defeat at Terra; to mirror their shame.

I may have to torture you to death :P

OOC Grey Knights should be.....Custodes I belive. Change it, Or else. Also, where are the Titan Legions? They are ment to be there, they had to get parts, They are on Chaos side. I shall be the Blood angles, who at this time have not yet got the rage thingy. I claim mars and the Two moons which also gives me the Adeptus Mechanicus, but the Chaos will try to kick me off. Now, put my suggestions in.

Ja mein kommandant!

-tag for consideration-

OOC What was that? Sorry, I don;t speak german, even though my mum is.

Yes, commander.Sounds better in German. :)

OOC I think an ork song is appropriate now:

Ere we go, ere we go, ere we go.
Ere we go, ere we go, cross the Kosmos.
Ere we go, ere we go, ere we go.
Ere we go, ere we go, tbroo infinity.
Ere we go, ere we go, ere we go.
Don't know where we're goin' til we get there

Hehehe.Orks is good.Another ork song:
Orks orks orks orks orks!
Orks orks orks orks orks!
Orks orks orks orks orks!
Orks orks orks orks orks!

LOL, anyway, GTG, Bed time, shall cheak up tomorrow.

K then.

I shall be the forces of Horus, and claim teh planet Jupiter and its moons; Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto and Lede.

Done.

Can I have a titan legion too?

Awww, go on.Play nice with the Titans.

Since the Iron Warriors where experts in siege. How about that they can get heavly fortefied planets/moons? and(or?) can take the fortified planets easier?
The Imperials did have one hell of a time to get the Iron Warriors of the planets they took

Good point.

I get Daemons, right? :D
And if we do have to take a second force; can I call the Emperor's Children?

-_-*
Yes and yes :rolleyes:

OOC As I said, there should be one Titan legion under my command because........Well because I said so. No, Thats mean, just tell me do I get fleets as a SM Legion.

OOC:Can I have the Black Angels/Pluto/Charon?

done, added.

When do we start?

Can I join?

My chapter is the Soul Drinkers, I RP with them. (They are a sub-chapter of The Imperial Fists.) If I can join I would like to be them, or failing that the Imperial Fists....

The Soul Drinkers Chapter Master is Gorgoleon.
And if anyone knows about them and their downfall, I RP with before they get the taint of Chaos an Sarpedon takes control.

Looks down list, muttering, Space Wolves, Space Wolves, Space Wol- DAMN IT!!

OK, settle for second best. I'll take Captain Garro and the Eisentein Seventy, with Prometheus as the planet please.

Just one thing, correct me if i'm wrong, but weren't Garro and the Seventy the loyalists from the Sons Of Horus who left to warn the Emperor? Maybe i'm wrong, just thought you might like to check it :confused:

If we're taking second forces, i call the Tanith.

They were a mix of Death Guard and Sons of Horus who left to warn Terra about the Heresy.50 points to Shinbreakers!

One or two more and I'll start the actual rp thread.If we don' get one or two more within 24 hours I'll assign some seconds and get started!

Sorry to burst your bubble Cam; but Horus Heresy is before the Second Founding; ergo no sub-chapters yet. You could always just go the Imperial Fists, I 'spose

This looks like fun. I'll do Iron Warriors and I'll take Neptune, Phoebe, Sycorax, Titania, Larissa, and Triton.

OOC: NO WAAAGH! You took the Iron Warriors, WHY *crys, then starightens again* Sorry, but since someone took the besigers *glare of doom*, and alpha legion isn't there(technically, some would, it would be a handful of people, but..um...uh), so I'll take the Night Lords along with uranus' moons(ha ha ha, not funny :mad: )

Is that okay?


PS Are you sure there isn't some way I could Alpha legion or Iron Warriors?!? :(

http://www.inisfail.com/40k3/alpha3-hist.html

Alpha Legion was there; was it not?

OOC: Im not entirely sure if ill have all the time needed over the next few weeks, but if i do ill sign up as the 12th Cadian. Ill get back to u asap on wether ill be available that much.

OOC: Yeah, but for how long? They ended up running around in the eastern fringe until they found a planet(can't remember name) and fought against the ultramarines(and won, until they bombarded the planet).


So in this, they could be there until the "end" of the horus heresy main battle field? If so, then I would like to change it to Alpha Legion.

I take the 597th Valhallan. Under Colonel Regina Kasteen, joint with Commisar Ciaphus Cain. Based on Saturn.

Mwahaha...keep in mind I requested Uranus' moons Sycorax and Titania.

I'll update the claims in a short while, I'm just watching Braveheart :D

OOC Do I get ships?! Seriously, do the chapters get their own battle barges ect or not?

Well, unless I'm walking to the Siege of Terra; I assume so

Yes.You do.You wouldn't like the walk to Terra.

Just to warn you folks, I have...well, near-zero knowledge on 40K ships and such, so if I make/do dumb things, don't yell at me.

Don't worry.Chronosia may well rip you limb from limb but for the most part you will leave physically unharmed.

Of course; I will burn the knowledge into your very souls; before I tear them from your bodies...

you know if i was really ambitouis i'd play, but well we seem short on planets, aw heck, put me down for the 12th cadian, and venus, i make up a character soon, K?

Yo here he be and just for extra i'll give some extra bits
--> Colonel Dylan Reed <--
Description- Dylan is a rather average looking indivdual, standing 6ft with brown eyes and hair. His build is well skiny, no matter how hard he tries he can't gain weight he hovers around 140 lbs.

History- Everyone expected Dylan to become an acadmic and work at a university somwhere. However he suprised everyone by joining the imperial guard. He says he joined to serve the Emporer. With in a few months of joining up he was identified as officer material so they sent him to school. When he came out of traning he was given a Platton and helped with the closing campaings of the crusade. By the nature of Imperial Warfare casualties were heavy and the 322th Cadian were absorbed into other Cadian regiments. Dylan was seent to the 12th Cadian and given command.

With the start of the space marine revolt alot of command structure broke down. Without the generals to tell him were to go, and with the rebels all over most systems Dylan brought his regiment to The Holy Birth Place of The Emporer and Mankind, Sol system. In Sol they were a little more orginized and his regiment was given Venus as there base of operations.

-------------------

Done hope you guys likie

Sorry Chronosia. Imperial Fists it is....

I would like to take Imperial Fists, please? Do I need a planet? Well, Venus I guess....

Venus be taken.

Mercury?

The battle is on!

ummm, hate to burst your bubble but BT's are a second founding chapter. I.E. They were formed after the heresy.....If I can I'll call the raven guard. I also call the moons Janus and Mimas of saturn.

OOC: Actually the Grey knights are the second founding of space marines and didn't ever function like the other chapters, not the adepts custodes, they are the militant arm of the Ordo Mallus which did not exist before the heresy, so they were simply a very powerful legion under the emperors command. I'm a bit of a 40K fluff nerd. ;)

So, can I join the imperial side?

Pick a side, pick a location.

Mordian Iron Guard over here, and Saturn if ye don't mind. (I'm assuming we would have Orbital Stations in orbit over Saturn, rather than ground stations since....well, take a guess).

I'm picking Titan, I'm an Imperial Guard regiment. How true to the original heresy fluff do we have to be?

Is there still time to join? If so can I be a gothic battlefleet anyone will do, I just started playing battlefleet gothic in RL and it would be fun to roleplay. Do I need a homebase planet? Also what sorta stuff did my fleet do?

I cant rp very well so I wont even try to join, I just want to say to all you people playing now, during the time period you are playing in, the Imperial Guard were not yet known as such. It was only after Horus and his rebbelion were defeated was the orginization know universialy(lol) as the Guard. I have the codex and I have read that chapter of fluff many times. Just letten yall know.

Okay, here's the deal. The time period we're playing is far too complex to really recognize the Imperium as it would be later known. At the start I knew about the Guard, and made a few assumptions for the sake of simplicity.Anyone wanting to complain here can bloody well piss off!

Seneca, you don't need a home base, but you can take one. Your fleet's job is just to intercept, to do damage, maybe even strike at the Man himself.

Oh ok thanks that makes sense

OOh, Warhamer 40k.

I'll play the Legio Morbis Titan Legion. Titans are freaking awesome!
