Allright Veeky Forums since we seem to have been having fun with these so far, and im fucking bored and dont want to do my job pick whether we generate a Space Marine Cadre or a Tau Chapter.
Lets make it a dice roll to get into things. 00-49=Chapter 50-100=Cadre
Elijah Harris
Rolled 36 (1d100)
Rolling for Tau
Hunter Murphy
Fail on the first roll, that does not bode well.
Space Marine chapter it is, roll me a d10 for reason behind its founding.
Maybe we will roll up some Tau for these boys to fight when we are done.
Tyler Cruz
Rolled 2 (1d10)
Rolling. Let our proud history be laid bare!
Nolan Cruz
>Strategic Prognostication
Looks like one of the Librarians had a grave vision and began rambling on about an imminent threat in our founding system.
Give me a d100 for when we were founded.
Liam Nguyen
how about let us come up with some ideas?
Jacob Lopez
I was thinking we would let a few more rolls flesh the chapter out a bit before but why not.
What great threat was this chapter formed to combat?
Brandon Smith
Rolled 87 (1d100)
We are hoping for founding right?
Robert Roberts
well thats about as far from founding as it gets
Alexander Reed
Guess not. Looks llike this is a young upstart chapter just fresh out of the Last Founding and born into an age of unprec-actually, an age of very precedented strife and violence.
Now determine your gene-seed. Who was thsi chapters progenator (d100)?
Tyler Green
Rolled 69 (1d100)
Rolling.
Adam Barnes
Oh. Oh dear. Your chapter seems to owe its Gene-Seed to the Dark Angels. A proud history as the 1st Legion of the Imperium but with a deep set guilt agains their ancient crime and burnded with secrets.
Lets see how much you take after them shall we? (d10)
Nathaniel Wilson
Rolled 57 (1d100)
pray against mutation, emperor let us be pure hurr hurr
Gabriel Brooks
Rolled 41 (1d100)
Fuck. Let's hope for the not too related.
Christian Campbell
*cough*d10*cough*
Jace Bell
Well this thread turned to shit hastily
Anthony Martinez
Rolled 6 (1d10)
Same thing.
Kevin Gomez
>A New Generation Looks like youve got a slightly divergent chapter here, perhaps a reason behind the Dark Angels choosing to found a new chapter and seperate you from the more pure flock?
Now you arent divergent or, worse yet, flawed, you can roll on the possible mutation chart to see what common mutations the unlucky 10% develop. (d10)
If not, then proceed straight to rolling your new Chapters demeanor. (d10)
Mark which is which when you roll.
Adam Peterson
Oh. My bad. I meant "Gene Seed Deficiencies" NOT mutations. Totally different thing, right?
Andrew Powell
Rolled 9 (1d10)
Geneseed problems. Hoping for Fallen then.
Jack Richardson
....and I thought rolling Dark Angels was a bad omen. >Doomed It looks like the Chapter has lost the ability to replicate either the Black Carapace or Progenoids. Your going to need to sort that out unless you dont want there to be a next generation for the chapter.
Lets get that demeanor roll then.
Sebastian Myers
Rolled 6 (1d10)
Hahahaha. Wonderful.
Aaron Edwards
>See, but don´t be seen. Perhaps, understandably, your chapter has taken on this approach as a way of compensating for their inability to easily replenish their ranks.
Striking when and where the enemy is weakest, your chapter prefers guerilla and stealth tactics....as far as a chapter of walking tanks can of course
Jace Bennett
CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!
Cooper Nelson
Indeed Brother.
Now lets have 2 d100s first for the Figure of Legen and second for their Deeds of Legend.
Parker Mitchell
Rolled 85, 19 = 104 (2d100)
Let's a go!
Carter Watson
Rolled 51 (1d100)
so were ninja marines now?
Liam Foster
>Company Captain Perhaps not the most grandios of titles but your figure of Legend was/or is a proven leader and warrior and famed as the >Ork´s Bane Still feared amongst Nobz and Grots alike.
Guess we can guess what great trouble brought your founding about I guess. Give me a d10 for which company he led and any suggestions for your great heros name.
Lets also get the Homerworld down. (d100)
Juan Scott
Just realized I used the word "guess" three times in the same sentence. I feel silly.
Robert Brooks
Rolled 74 (1d100)
Homeworld first. Plz be a death world.
Angel Hughes
Rolled 57 (1d100)
Austin Edwards
Can we combine Together?
Austin Brown
Rolled 3 (1d10)
Captain Ezequiel Toof-Breaker
Nathaniel Torres
A civilized Death World? Give me a reasonable concept by one and I´ll allow it.
Dylan Nguyen
So captain of one of one of the Chapters Battle companies.
Captain Ezequiel Toof-Breaker of Third Company work for everyone?
Dylan Carter
What's a better place to hide a failing generation with extreme stealth tanks. A barely civilized death world.
Jackson Cooper
We were also driven back to that world by an Ork WAAAGH, and other enemies we might roll up.
Jace Reyes
....Ok. The nature of the world might be behind the loss of the ability to produce Progenoids or the Black Carapace.
Your chapter hails from a Death world where the local population desperately tries to cling on. Lets get a d100 for the local terrain (not every planet is Catachan after all).
Wyatt Morris
Rolled 66 (1d100)
Ice world get!
Jordan Clark
Rolled 32 (1d100)
>inb4 super Vietnam.
Juan Sanchez
>Wasteland Sounds Postapocalyptic....could see that working with Civilized. Unless you wanna use your reroll here?
Kevin Fisher
Reroll would be Desert if you take it.
Jose Nguyen
seconding the name of our glorious captain 1st company can suck it
Kevin Ross
Nah. Wasteland will make our failure more lore easier.
Ryan Ward
Sound like you kind of fucked up your homeplanet in the process of fighting off the ork. Interesting.
Lets get the d10 for how you rule this ruined husk of a world then.
Isaac Bailey
Let's go.
Oliver Gonzalez
Rolled 10 (1d10)
Great.
Christian Fisher
>Distant Rule
You do not bother with everyday affairs of the people of your homeworld, probablly because they spend most of their time trying to survive and live seperately in your Fortress Monastary/Bunker/Sky Fortress/Playboy Mansion
Now give me 1 d10 to see how adherrant you are to the Codex and another for your combat doctrine if you are divergant.
Brody Perry
i just realized we are power armoured facists ruling the ruined remains of a civilised world figthjng giant green violent psychpaths while not bothering to actually rule anything only bothering to show up from our bunkers for supplies, new recruits or to kill green skins
weve become the Brotherhood of Steel
Luke Brown
Rolled 7 (1d10)
Let's go.
Lucas Howard
>Divergent You do not hold the Codex as sacred as some of your more rigid chapters but you still follow the basic outline it sets out unlike some of the crazier chapters out there.
Lets get a combat doctrine for your guys.
Cameron Evans
How many companies do we have?
Ian Walker
Sounds like Captain Ezequiel of 3rd Company it is, as we have no other contenders.
Blake Reyes
Rules pretty much line out that you have 10. Now whether they are full strenght or not...
Colton Butler
Rolled 4 (1d10)
Stealth is the only one that makes sense here.
Evan White
Vice Captain Smith D'Brickshaw of 5th company.
Jace Phillips
Let's split 6/7 Company as our artillery squad if we have any.
Cooper Phillips
>Stealth
Looks like the dice agree. Where did you pick up those Stealth Boy STCs? Your chapter has taken its demeanor beyond just a predelection for guerilla combat and focused its entire doctrine on ambush and stealth tactics.
And since you are Divergent you get Special Equipment for 1d100 and no Restrictions.
Leo King
3rd company is set due to roll but any votes for Smith D´Brickshaw?
Isaiah Thomas
Rolled 58 (1d100)
Plz be the biggest mech, I forgot what it was. We need to be maximum CREEEEED!!!
Jaxson Smith
Uh...well its not a Titan. >Blessed Wargear Seems your Chaplain doesnt have much better to do that spend his time praying over ALL your weapons. Hell even Brother Rohaqs skinning knife was blessed.
Isaiah Long
We really need to get our Chaplain a nrw hobby.
Owen Barnes
Now lets get find out what you actually believe in. 1d100 for your chapter beliefs.
How Hereticas ARE you?
Logan Murphy
Rolled 69 (1d100)
If we are super heretical......Maybe I can set something up.
Brody Smith
>Honour the Ancestors Thank the Emperor it wasnt Totem Creature You revere your fallen brothers and predecessors for they have given all for the Emperor and his Imperium. Though you do tend to go on a bit about them at the local Chapter mixers.
Now lets see just how screwed for manpower you are. 1d10 for Chapter strength.
James Green
Rolled 2 (1d10)
Remembet when WE used to be relevant and OP? The good old days.
Michael Gutierrez
Truely our ancestors were the greatest space marines!
Dylan Wood
Oooh, so close. >Under-strength (surprise surprise) Within the last decade or perhaps a little longer, you suffered a significant loss of man power and have been unable to refill your ranks. Should you fix your deficiency you should rebuild steadily but without that you are perilously close to becoming an endangered species.
Now. 1d100 for Allies
1d100 for Enemies
Jordan Sanchez
Rolled 70, 83 = 153 (2d100)
First is for allies. Second is Enemies. Shame I'm on mobile.
Carter Reyes
Ok, Looks like >Imperial Guard You are friendly with the local IG from a specific world, either you own or in the local area. Perhaps having to rely on them for manpower to make up for what you lack.
>Specific Chaos Aligned Group Some Chaos force in the local area has taken a particular umbrage with you and the feeling is quite mutual. Who are the heretical bastards? (i.e., Traitor Titan Legion, Chaos pirates, renegade Imperial Guard, etc.)
Josiah Cooper
Op, a twist. Can the Fallen be called Chaos? Because that's a nice twist. The puny "militia" they call an IG is our friendlies.
Aiden Carter
And now we have Minutemen
How is this not Fallout?!
Caleb Jackson
My sides user, my sides.
Noah Sullivan
That is acceptable.
A Break off group of the Fallen, who have turned to chaos as space faring pirates have decided to call your new home their hunting ground and continue to hound your already troubled existence.
Jacob Morris
While out hunting orks, we may or may not have "accidentally" stole something by the Fallen, learning some secrets we shouldn't have learned. Rode our assess and an Ork WAAAGH to this shitty place on the fringe of some galaxy and crippling us from making new Marines while murdering most of our good forces, leaving us to be Solid Snake in massive tanks. I love it.
Luis Russell
Should I add during our escape we may or may not have "accidentally" ruined a colony that was starting to take place and most of the planet too.
Chase Turner

Now we need a name and some fluffing out the gaps in between.
Blake Lopez
We are starting to sound like the Fail Marines
Elijah Morgan
Or we could roll up some tau for them to be allies with against the tyrannids, orks, necrons and dark elder.
Nolan Moore
Frankly, that's the best way we can fluff out why we are doing so terrible. Nein.
Isaiah Anderson
Could be that "Imperial Guard" is actually a Tau Auxillary force made of the local human population.
Just in true Fail Marine fashion we completely fail to realize this.
Nathan Perez
Maybe, just maybe it'll work.
Lucas Wright
When we set out on this little gaunt to create a new chapter.
I did not expect to generate the most miserabel group of chucklefucks to ever purge.
Anthony Gutierrez
Don't blame the man, blame the die. Better yet, it was a Tau planet that we razed into the ground, while suprisingly avoiding a small human settlement that we forced to be our IG regiment.
Jackson Murphy
And theres our hook for why the Tau are in the system.
ROLL FOR SEPT FOUNDING (d10)
Jaxson Jackson
Rolled 4 (1d10)
Let's have a Rashomon style retelling on how we got here.
Austin Jones
>Second Sphere Expanions
Your Cadre was founded during th second sphere expansion, you were part of the Tau forces establishing order amongst worlds left to wither and fray. It was also when the Tau Empire first came into conflict with the Imperium of man as they tried to retake the numerous worlds they had neglected and allowed to fall to ruin.
Lets ge the predominant terrain of your Cadres homeworld. d10
Brandon Nelson
Rolled 1 (1d10)
Pls be wasteland.
Aaron Gutierrez
>Desert ...closest youre gonna get on the Tau cadre chart
Your cadres homeworld is a dry desolate and windswept land. Perhaps it used to be a lush garden world but not it is mostly rock and sand.
Daniel Ward
Now lets get your commanders philospophy d10 and your tactical preference d100.
Nathaniel Nelson
Perfect, better yet, let's have the desert be part of the world WE HAVEN'T BURNED DOWN/IRRADIATED.
Sebastian Ramirez
Rolled 42, 21 = 63 (2d100)
First for philosophy. Second for combat.
Hudson Rivera
>Mont’ka, the Killing Blow – Study the enemy before attacking its weak point.
Your commander prefers to plan out a well co-ordinated and overwhelming offensive to strike at the enemies most vulnerable points and defeat them in a single offensive blow.
Which is a little strange as the Cadre rather prefers the Static approach and dont go much in for the hybrid combat style to best compliment your commander. >Static/Stationary units shelling enemy before they risk casualties in combat
Seems like an ambitious commander with a lazy group of Firewarriors to me.
Cooper Bennett
Looks like artillery-based ambush tactics to me, utilizing the chasms and mesas of the desert world to funnel enemy troops into chokepoints which they then bomb into oblivion.
Tyler Miller
Next is the primary function of your Cadre.
d10
Joseph Sullivan
Or it could be one of the old human colonies that was nuked in the Age of Strife. Any radiation has died down to safe levels long ago, there were no survivors, just ruins. Old, old ruins.
They encounter the irradiated shithole of the Chapters homeworld, see its humans suffering as they imagined the previous denizens of their colony once suffered and start sending human missionaries of the Greater Good to show them a better way.
After the chapter has murdered all the orks, obviously.
Due to the Distant Rule of the chapter, its distinct lack of interest in anything civilian and horrendous bad luck they don't notice the outside influence until the next batch of recruits start going on about The Greater Good.
The chapter doesn't care. It instils a good work ethic in the plebs, a proud and protective mindset in the soldiers, promotes order and so makes Chaos less likely and is purely ideological so faith in the Emperor remains as strong as ever. Slightly stronger in fact due to the less shitty conditions.
And they never suspected it was an outside influence. They just assumed it was a beneficial cultural shift amongst the population.
By the time the actual Tau turn up the saturation of the Greater Good is so strong that the chapter doesn't open fire immediately. It also helps that they turned up just as the chapter was getting chewed on by 'nids and the Tau started bug slaying.
Thus was born an uneasy alliance between Chapter and Sept, both hoping that the Ethereals and Inquisitors don't look too hard in their direction.
Bentley Carter
Rolled 7 (1d10)
Ha.
Elijah Jenkins
>Peacekeeping/Policing Lazybones Cadre it is. Your primary function is to maintain the order of the Greater Good amongst the many Tau and non-Tau colonies, preventing hostile and disruptive elements from harming them.
John Ramirez
Suffer not the Xeno to live, brother. Have you forgotten this?
Though I like your idea, I'd think they'd notice a Tau fleet at their door. Maybe they killed the Tau off, and trained their population as a little side-army in case it happened again? It could also explain why the chapter is under strength, having taken casualties defending their homeowlrd?
Carson Richardson
Better yet, while the fail Angels are dealing with their shit forgetting the planet they razed. The Tau have more or less started planning our death with massive amounts of DEATH FROM ABOVE!! Oh god. They could be hiding in the deserts just noticing our shit.
