Traditional Weapon

Now what weapon would be traditional on a jungle death world?
I'd say shotgun, flame thrower or a fancy machette thing

Regiment Creed (d100)

Rolled 42 (1d100)

They're criminals though, so something darker, maybe a bone knife from a gang initiation ritual where they had to hunt down something badass.

Rolled 5 (1d100)

For a regiment of convicts? Probably some really mean shank.

Rolled 3 (1d100)

I'd like a big knife. very flavorful.

For the Emperor: Fervent belief in the Imperial cult and the righteous mission of the Imperium fuels this regiment.

Bone knife?

Regiment Friends (d100)

Rolled 43 (1d100)

>Bone knife?
Sounds good. A bone knife (or kukri) to gut orks when we get in close fight.

Adeptus Mechanicus

Allways pays off to have ties to the mech boys,
but yeah, just imagine a platoon of tatooed, armored men with whie bone knives and cleavers charging at you

Regiment Enemies (d100)

Rolled 32 (1d100)

Eldar

Eldar, one point less and we'd have orks, but damn this sounds interesting

Lightining close combat against the eldar, no normal regiment would even consider that
but they havent seen this band of death-world convicts picking eldar brain off their bone choppers

>Their wraith-bone choppers
Better

This basically surmises our entire regiment.

Would be making knives out of looted wraithbone be possible?

plot twist, there was no regiment after all, it was all him

>Would be making knives out of looted wraithbone be possible?

Why not? It's not going to be pretty, but I imagine it's doable. They can probably get/steal necessary tools from their AdMech buddies.

So, the regular bone-cleaver is the sign that you made it through the rite of passage, the wraith-bone knife is the mark fo a true badass.

What should be their colors?
We gotta represent

Obviously they need bad ass kill tattoos, like you only get a red arm band if you manage to kill a fire dragon.

Other than that probably leathers and camouflage (I'm basically thinking charlatan but more brown/black as opposed to green)

Soul stone on chain, a prized charm and status symbol

They got mechanicum buddies, i think they could afford some cybernetic improvements, and since the bone knife is white their insignia could be a white skull with a chain around it on a black background

Should be prison uniforms. Orange or Navy Blue.

Prision uniforms in black with white details, as in death row black

>Soul stone on chain, a prized charm and status symbol

This is probably how we got that eldar rivalry in the first place.
We'd encountered some of them in one campaign, came out on top, looted the trophies including the jewels, adn now they don't leave us alone.

>Another patrol was found in the jungle. It was not a fight, it was a slaughter, all of the wraithbone and soul gems gone, theese Mon'keigh know no honor.

Maybe some of our men mount Soulstones into their shanks, for no other reason than its funny to see the look on a knife-ears face as you perforate his liver with the soul of his grandma.

>Soulstone codpiece so I can fuck these bitch ass eldar even in death.

Ayylmao

a full armor encrusted with soul gems, invincible to eldar attacks, since nobody wants to kill their own

And there was much rejoicing.

Dor every slain eldar, another skull is tattooed on the convict's body

I would assume that the more prominent members look like walking bruises because of all the ink and skin grafts so they can fit more tattoos on, yes?

just sheets and rows of skulls on their backs

I guess if you ever somehow ran out of room you'd just have to get over it and keep being a marbo-esque jungle reaper.

It would be prietty darn hard to run out of space, eldar aren't exactly cannon fodder type warriors

My thoughts exactly, an armband of some color for an aspect warrior and like ten tally marks already marks you as probably one of the most deadly and experienced guardsman around.

...

Perfect candidates for bodyguards, stormtrooper recruits or commisars

Imagine how intimidating must be their general

Well I'd imagine he'd be some sort of terrifying commissar/prison warden. Maybe he ran a fleet of the black ships for a few decades.

Warden-Commissar sounds like a great title to have for the regiment's leader

As would I. I can see each of them having his own ideas about what "Standard Conscription" means. W-C Bash for example generally challenges the people he thinks should be part of his regiment to an arm wrestle, if you can beat him, you're in.

Is this thread done?

Summary?

I'm not sure, maybe we could expand on the notable members of the Regiment.

We have the color,
we still need a name,
some notable individuals
and some history

could roll for colors here: colors.co/app

I meant are the rolls done.

Where is the summary post? The post that summarizes all the rolls

Anyone have the archive of the that SoB mad max style thing?

Imperial Guard: A true regiment, drilled and competent in their service.

Convicts: Serving their sentence on the front lines, the slime.

Standard conscription: Average or above-average citizens recruited from all levels of society.

Death World: For these people, life was a war before they could speak.

Jungle: Masters of stealth and inured to disease.

Infantry Regiment

Lightning strike & Close combat

Adherent: Hold fast to the Creed and His will.

Traditional Weapon

For the Emperor: Fervent belief in the Imperial cult and the righteous mission of the Imperium fuels this regiment.

ally Adeptus Mechanicus

foe Eldar

So Africans?

Beasts of no nation regiment?

The Eldar destroyed their homeworld (they were on a space station prison for the most dangerous convicts), so the station was converted into a mobile based and they were sent out as a guard regime, recruiting the best and most vicious killers they could find.

The regiments bone cleavers are made from the bones in their leg.

When you've passed the right to join the regiment you are commanded to cut off your own leg so that it can be replaced with a prosthetic leg.

This is a symoblic act as prisoners are made to work on the planet in chain gangs so now your new legs is an eternal shackle as you are now serving your penince in the name of the emperor .

Shit that's good

Once the leg has been taken the meat is cleaned off and the thigh bone is encased in a protective layer of material and dipped into a vat a molten [insert proper metal here) and is affixed with a blade.

All members of this regiment hold their bone blades sacred and to lose one is a dishonor beyond dishonor such that they will voluntarily sign up for a suicide mission to avoid the shame of losing their bone blade.

This goes with the belief that if your enemy has your bone blade they have dominion over your soul with your only recourse to die by your own hands least you become a servent of the enemy in spirit.

That's actually kinda dumb desu

Don't know why this thread is so dead, it could be pretty good.

So what I'm thinking is a penal regiment that essentially works for the Mechanicus as a step above servitor slaves but certainly not skitarii

Thoughts?

Its dead because tg is burnt out of these, and probably will be for a long time. Give it a year of no more rolling threads, they might work better

...

Bump because I'll just fluff these guys myself.

These rolls are too good to waste

Did we decide on a name?

I'm thinking something African. I've been wanting to do african guerilla guardsmen for a while

What would be very african-sounding?
probably their planet name and we call em
[planet name]-an Eldar Hunters

...

Wolves of Kadinga?

So I'm thinking that these guys should most certainly have bomb vests

Machetes as a traditional weapon?
