Keep the squabbling to a minimum, and compromise whenever possible.
I'm now starting to think that this COIN PsyOps is like a Power Blade. Yes, it has an edge with which to cut, but it also has a power field to melt.
I sort of want to include a rumor which goes like this >The crucifixions, the impalements, the gas and flame, all these tools of terror serve a dual purpose. >The crucified, with their wails and pleas of merciful death, both strike horror into the hearts of those lacking faith in the Emperors's Finest, and allow for the creation of an interdiction zone as the local, leal, civilians stray away from it. >It is also said that each cross is notched below each arm, so that if one were to turn it onto its side then it would work as a rudimentary shooting position. >The use of toxins and promethium is not just to inspire fear at what tortures a body can endure and still grasp at life. A heretic need not die to no longer defy the Argo Brigade, simply removing their ability to resist is enough. And if the insurgents are compassionate, then they must either spend two men to care for each one, or drive a knife through each mutilated face. >And when they realise that these vapours are most effective within cramped conditions they will favour the plains. The perfect environment to sow blooms of artillery. >And if they scatter to the winds in fear of the holy mutilation they so rightly deserve, then the Brigade reserves it's use of mutilating agents, inviting 'them' back to working in more productive burrows, or continue working with their weakened isolated cells. >And the impalement of heretics to the sides of vehicles is not so that heretics pause before firing upon their own. Nay! It is because so that when they are fired upon their bodies take the brunt of the impact. Meat shields! In the most literal of tenses.
>Middle Lieutenant Bie Lao of the 5th Hua Yuan Exterminators tapped his fingers absentmindedly to the beat of the music blaring through the internal comms of the Taurox Prime on the wide dashboard, bobbing his head as the convoy raced past the ruined landscape, rolling fogs of gas concealing fields and fields of ruined city. The 5th Exterminators had been deployed to assist in the retaking of Calidad 8 from the Tau Empire, who had used humans insurrectionists to gain a foothold in the planet. Due to the sheer size of the manufactorum planet and the spreading rebellion, the Munitorum saw fit to deploy a second regiment to augment the mission of the unit already planetside. Apparently they had things well in hand enough that calling upon an Astartes chapter would have been unnecessary and frankly wasteful, but the 5th was already passing through the system returning to Hua Yuan after purging a planet riddled with a Genestealer cult.
>The unit in question was the 77th Argoan Peacekeeper Brigade, but everyone knew them simply as the Argo Brigade, because there wasn't any other in the known Imperium. Relentless, ruthless, and deadly, the small unit was already a quiet legend long before the Imperium had found Hua Yuan in all her festering glory. Small and well equipped, from what the young officer could tell the two units couldn't be any more different. While the Exterminators as a whole prefered to keep their operational tempo at a breakneck speed to deny the enemy time to react the Brigadiers had a patient and methodical approach to the enemy, rarely running missions back to back and almost always stopping to fortify claimed ground. Even in battle they seemed to have more in common with Necron than the Exterminators; the Exterminators sprint into enemy lines in a dazzling display of firepower and athletic coordination, disorienting and overwhelming the enemy.
>The Argives by contrast would prefer to take cover and pelt the enemy with return fire while another element executes a swift flank. Such measures often produced more enemy casualties than confirmed kills, but after seeing them after combat...Bie Lao was convinced this was by design. Nothing separated the two units more than how they saw other humans. Sure, Gardeners by and large have tremendous pride in their homeland and tend to be a little brusque towards foreigners, but if you have good music and better drink you can buy the friendship with relative ease. The Argives on the other hand only really seemed to relax around their own number, even the non-Argive Brigadiers. Towards others they seemed...almost predatory, as if constantly looking for some hidden heresy to crucify you for. In the case of the Exterminators and their Xenon, they were all lucky that it was as close a secret as it is...
>Perhaps that's what made the Lieutenant so uneasy around the Argives, not just because of their haughty attitudes or fine equipment, or even their excruciatingly boring approach to combat. It was the torture. It was almost like the Exterminator trophy hunting, Bie Lao thought as he stroked the gaunt skull fitted onto his shoulder, but it wasn't meant to show skill or status, it was to build fear. Fear and disgust. And it worked. The last thing Bie Lao wanted was to have to fight the Brigadiers and survive lest he end up upside down on a cross, or on his side with a spear lodged through his ribs. The convoy screeched to a halt as they neared a small traffic circle at the end of the dusty road. MLT Bie Lao, in the lead vehicle, hopped out of the garrish, trophy littered vehicle, hitting the ground with a hard thud. Awaiting him in the circle, where the Brigadiers.
Hudson Cox
>The Brigadiers sat in their Tauruses blocking the streets into the circle, the turrets of the light vehicles pointed down the roads leading to the circle, as the lieutenant jogged up to the halted brigadiers he saw that there were a few guns pointed his way, which made him none too comfortable. Only adding to his apprehension was their uniforms, which lacked any of the typical blue or red and instead were a uniform dark drab. As he neared the end of the street the vehicle at its mouth came to life with a purring engine. And a mounted weapon pointed straight at him. From the mounted turret came a single shout in Low Gothic, "Crimson!". The Lieutenant halted and shouted back, "Eagle!". He had been briefed the challenge and pass for the day over a secure vox channel in code briefed to him the day before, the verbal Vox cipher was meant to be changed weekly, if possible. Bie Lao pondered a unit such as large as any Hua Yuanese one utilizing so many security measures without something going wrong. He shuddered at the thought.
>The Tauros pulled into the traffic circle, and one of the brigadiers dismounted from the vehicle, waving the convoy into into the circle. As the convoy rolled along the brigadier approached the lieutenant, "Captain Keterov, Delta Company Cav, 277th. Seems like you lot didn't die out there." Bie Lao, "Sorry to disappoint, Sir. Middle Lieutenant Bie Lao, 1st Company 505th." The Gardener offered his hand to the captain. It did not reciprocate. The Brigadier turned his back and walked back to his vehicle. "Your men better be good to go Lieutenant, we've been here far too long. You lot took your sweet fucking time." "We ran into some resistance, sir." "Is that an excuse, soldier? I thought the Exterminators were fighters." Bie Lao, grimaced, "No, sir." The Cav Scout regarded him with a soulless eye from his gas mask, "No that's not an excuse? Or no, you Exterminators aren't worth your collective weight in shit?'

Depending on how many people attend the parade it could be a good time to launch operations since the field has been cleared. Maybe the parade is used to make internment seem more attractive to those who haven't volunteered already.
Henry Gonzalez
As far as the Anti Armor rifle being unwieldy I was thinking about it being based off of the Skitari Arquebus just not a crazy lost-tech version, just like you can upgrade a unit of a squad with rocket launchers or a heavy flamer
I like the parade idea, the population would think "Maybe these guys aren't as bad as I've herd" The clowns are way overkill but lining certain streets with bodies as a way of creating psychological walls is really interesting.
I meant to say 80s-90s, found it on google and was taking a guess from the way the letters can be seen through the pages and the over all look. Damn that's from 08
Brandon Young
>You lost me I was trying to convey the idea that these acts of brutality actually serve practical purposes. The flamers and sprayers apply the minimum amount of force to incapacitate an enemy, rebels are nailed to vehicles more for impromptu armor than PsyOps, etc.
Leo Torres
love it
Nathaniel Stewart
Also on Ogryns and their ilch, they can be classified under the Auxiliary corps, made up of those recruited from the local population. so the Strength would be 7000 Argo Brigs plus Auxiliary forces

Did we ever resolve the part about the hidden caves/ vaults filled with Xenotech? I know that a few people didn't want to touch on that because it would make the brigade look like a bunch of hypocrits, and I know that much of the random lore was filtered out (all of the "muh dik" posts), however this seemed like something that could be worked in somewhere for the better. It doesn't really even need to be their Xenotech stash, it's just that the background was meant to be random and I feel like we need to work with everything feasible from the beginning in order to do it "right" (if there is such a thing for this).
Aiden Cook
No xenotech, for the love of all that is holy. Please no.
Jack Roberts
Please keep that extra heretical shit out of it
Tyler Sanders
Anyone remember that chapter rolled up like a year ago where they put daemon hearts in their chests
Jose Sullivan
You could play it up as a trophy hall of stuff taken from the aliens they've crucified. They don't do heretical stuff with it, just keep it to remember their victories.
Michael Sanders
Some suggested the Ad Mech had a those caves, and I even saw a post about the Brigade blackmailing them. However Xenotech is kind of a blanket term that limits what we can say, but if we get specific we can do more than say "Its the Brigade's dark secret!" or "Its the Ad Mech's dark secret!".
First off I think it would be best to say the xenotech is Eldar or Tau since our regiment has lore involving them. Second off I see a few options for what the story of the caves is now that we are specific.
Maybe the secessionist movement was backed by the Eldar (or Tau if it was post heresy) and the caves were a way of hiding the foreign support the rebels were receiving until the time was right.
Or maybe the caves belonged to the Argo loyalist who, being cut off from the Imperium at large and low on supplies, used caves to stash looted gear during their insurgency.
However the above point could also invovle the rebellion not being Eldar (or Tau) backed but that the chaos of the situation was exploited by them to get what they were after strategy wise. Yet the Brigade used the appearance of a 3rd force on the field to win over support for the loyalist faction and fight of the xeno invader.
Further still is the option that the caves contained some Eldar (or Tau) mcguffin that they wanted to use in a ritual on the planet (or just retrieve it) when nobody was looking and the rebellion seemed like the best time for it. This can tie into the heroic deed that some user said he is writing up.
Parker Nguyen
>Or maybe the caves belonged to the Argo loyalist who, being cut off from the Imperium at large and low on supplies, used caves to stash looted gear during their insurgency. This could involve gear looted from mercenaries not just Xeno patrons.
Carter Jenkins
I would say no to xenotech on the whole, it really just serves to muddy a pretty cohesive history.
However as to the time period of the succession, what about during the history?
I know the written history says that it was the system's governor's idea to succeed, but what if he was convinced by the Magos of the Illiusian forgeworld to join with Horus since he had already been turned to Chaos by the Fabricator General?
Austin Kelly
>during the history
During the Heresy, I mean
Samuel Hill
I just looked at the wiki and we don't have an entry on the Imperial Guard page redirecting to the brigade. Can someone who make good word sounds write it?
Sebastian Walker
As autistic as he is, even if I do agree with his points as shittily as he presents them, Arbites may be the one for the job
James Robinson
Definetly the parade sounds something that Argo would do. Would be a huge propaganda event that we need.
I agree that we should try to make it work but if people dont like it then we should drop it out.
It could be that during the rebellion Argo Brigade found the cave with all the xenotech (maybe stash of mercenary xenos group) and handed it over to AdMech. That would make them think "Hey these cints arent that bad" and started our beautiful friendship with them.
Zachary Stewart
And lets stop this badmouthing all together here. People have different opinions. Lets try to keep it civil for this new thread.
Ian Flores
Would the Argies be responsible for CORDS or Green Beret type training of civilian militias and irregulars?
Hudson Sanchez

Ethan Scott

Nicholas Long
That is the on site archive that flushes after a while. A suptg archive is permanent and needs to be done manually.
Justin Sullivan
I could see it possible. Looks like a job for intelligence/psyops battalion.
James Gomez
Okay good to know. Someone who knows how to do it go for it.
Landon Price
I know most people hate the idea but in my organization proposition there are Echo Companies within the standard Peacekeeper (Infantry) companies. These Echo Companies house the Battalion Commissariat (Due to the hardline nature of the unit they can use Commissars sparingly, more like Battalion XOs than Platoon leaders ever present in the unit), the battalion Intelligence apparatus and the Military Police.
Due to Commissars being a thing the Military Police function differently than what one would see in a rl army. Military Police, Just like the Blue Helmets stem from PDF tradition, where they worked alongside the Adeptus Arbites to maintain law and order on Argo, and later uphold the law when the Argoan Courthouses fell and the Arbites presence on Argo was reduced to nothing until after the Purge.
To that end, the Military Police act on the populace of the current theater and usually act hand in hand with Human Intelligence (Interrogators and for lack of a better term Informant Wranglers) and Psychological Operations, to affect, subjugate, and pacify the populace while Peacekeepers actually fight belligerents.
Part of this Trinity, as much of a part of it as it is outside it, and indeed outside conventional brigade structure, are Special Task Force units, small squads that often work with Air Cav and the Recon Cav Scouts as much as they do the Intelligence/Secret Police apparatus.
Special Task Forces are often given the mission of taking out High Value Targets, performing deep enemy recon far beyond the abilities of the Delta Companies (the Mounted Cavalry Recon mentioned previously), and infrastructure sabotage, to name just a few possible mission sets. Given very few parameters to complete their mission an STF will often work with Human Intelligence and PsyOps to generate a counter insurgency of their own to divert enemy resources from fighting their Peacekeepers and create another front for the enemy to work on.
Parker Anderson
I don't know how to do it, i just know what it is.
David Price
It's easy as fuck, just drop the OP post number in the box it says to, name the archived thread, add a one sentence description, and like 3 tags
Luke Collins
The idea of getting the civilian population to help purge the planet has been int he threads form the beginning. Though I don't know the specifics of who would organize and or train civilians or how it would be done (that is if they are trying to control it and not cause hysteria that makes people value the brigade's stability).
An example from the last thread >On a side note it was said earlier that the Brigade might "encourage" civilians to join in the killing so they can recruit the best fighters. This makes a lot of sense to me given their strong sense of tradition and history as an insurgency, but if this is a recruitment practice of theirs why stop there? Why not extend this kind of recruitment to exemplary PDF and Arbites? > this way is not just for tradition but also for practical reason such as the fact they are on a world and will take losses there, that you can't train real world experience, and that people who have had their lives shattered by rebellion will know a hate that just can't be replicated in peace time.
>I agree with this 100%. Injects new blood into the regiment even during a conflict and can help foster a more diverse selection of tactics
>this is good!
Nathaniel Jenkins
This also relates to internment ctrl+f "intern" dump follows: >The regiment might intern civilians who prove their loyalty, or at least the elderly and juvenile, because someone has to plant the seeds and carve the crosses. Also by interning children the regiment can make sure those children learn (are brainwashed) to be good emperor revering imperial citizens (ImperatorJugend), and they have the family members they need for an instant retaliation doctrine to be more personal to their targets.
>What if the of internment of the weak isn't just about clearing the field, indoctrination, labour, and simple leverage, but that the leverage is designed to make people fight harder and the best members of citizen militias are offered full recruitment for the guaranteed life and prosperity of their families.
Carter Rivera
And then all that gets facilitated by Arbiter's Military Police dudes and Interrogators and PsyOps and such

Someone has archived it, yay.
Could you copypaste your organization idea on this thread as well?
You got solid thoughts in there. Id imagine that they would closely work with engineer/crucifixtion companies when "parades" are being held.
Yea definetly STF would do these type of missions. Mounted Cavalry Recon would probably in charge of stuff like scouting areas, find enemy targets for STF and missile strikes.
Kevin Wright
Damn, they definetly fits our aesthetic. Would these be our Valkyrie drop troops? Definetly would have the more beefier look than the normal troops.

Should I repost the Uniforms as well or does no one care?

Perfect!
Thanks mate. Will be easier when we talk if we want use this. As far what my opinion on this is that I like it. Some people might dislike due to amount info in there and prefer simpler organization table. Lets discuss in orderly fashion yes?

++Guardsman Passius personal log 8++
It's been 2 weeks since my company, the Frackian Hellhounds and the Argos Brigade had made planetfall on Gorb-4 in order to "pacify" the planet as the Agronians put it. Honestly I find them quite unsettling, they often tend to keep to themselves, so I shouldn't be really be as...creeped out as I am.
++Log Update++ Me and the lads just got back from a sector sweep and we were greeted by a horrifying sight. Apparently a small enemy recon team had been tasked to provide intel about our base, but it seems like they had been found by the Argo Brigade. We saw them crusified by the gate to the camp, poor Wexley couldn't keep his rasions in, nevertheless we quickly learned to respect ther Argo Brigade, and not to get in their way. Passius out..
++END OF LOG++
Jacob Watson
>Politics
Once the center of Sub-Sector wide court intrigue and political maneuvering, Argo is now the iron throne on which the Imperial Rule of Law rests. With the vast majority of the noble bloodlines dead, either during the Argoan Purge or through their time in labor camps off world, the system is governed jointly by the Minutorum via the Argoan Military complex, with the Brigadiers at its fore, and the Adeptus Arbites, with a major Ecclesiarchy presence on the other worlds of Illius X. Through this command there is no risk of the system falling into lawlessness
Brayden Thompson
Nice! I like it. Simple and effective.
Just got a first draft done for AT-rifle. Not nearly as good as the admech rifle would be its something. Need to add a magazine to it and the handle above.

>imports/ exports Not sure if economy was covered any more than them being near a Forge World, but if their chemical weapons are more from tradition (their use being necessary during their counter insurgency) than their use as psychological weapons, then that may have something to do with what the planetary economy produces.
Jaxon Allen
Thats a vary good point, havent even crossed my mind. Maybe the planet contained some rare mineral that is necessary for some type of ammution or something. That would explain why the leaders wanted to sell it for the highest bidder and knew they probably would a fuck ton of money. Too bad Argo Brigade was there to screw their plans.
Nicholas Fisher
Someone with more loreknowledge probably can come up with something.

Little update on the killteam project, well its no longer a killteam... I ordered a cadian command squad AND a second infantry squad. Was tempted to get skitari rangers box but paying almost 30e for few rifles we need is bit silly.

Dude, I hate money man. Gotta get rid of it as quickly as possible
When is all this shit supposed to come in?
Hunter Campbell
In next few weeks. I also got some heads coming from Anvil Industries (berets and pasgt helmets w/gasmasks), used Cadian Infantry squad for testing out paint schemes AND various different bitz from Mega Bitz Shop. I think these might keep me busy for awhile.
Justin Price
I also found few grenades that Argives(?) might like.
Hallucinogen Grenade
A Hallucinogen Grenade fills its area of effect with an invisible hallucinogenic gas, causing anyone breathing it in to experience visions which may have various effects on them, from nothing to running from the field screaming to believing an alien worm is crawling up their leg.
Choke Grenade
The Choke Grenade explodes to fill its blast radius with a non-lethal gas which prevents anyone in the from breathing properly, temporarily incapacitating them.
Scare Grenade
The Scare Grenade produces a non-persistent gas, absorbed through the skin, with affects the nervous system of those affected, producing feelings of apprehension and deep anxiety.
Toxin Grenade
The Toxin Grenade spews an amount of toxic chemicals and biological extracts over an area.
Found on wh40k wikipage.
Tyler Ortiz
>Scare Grenade
Throw this inside a bunker and cut the lights and the ones inside might ought just kill each other
Asher Ramirez
Cut the shit with the Xenotech in the hidden caves and vaults. It's gay as fuck and ruins the regiment. No Imperial guard regiment would ever get away with shit like that.
There's such a thing as too much and having caves of xenotech that then get turned over to the AdMech which causes the AdMech to want the brigade's dick is way too much. Plus I thought it was established in the last thread that the Brigade helped out the local forgeworld in the Illius X system after it had cleaned up Argo.
And this is like the 1,000 time I've said this but there are hard limits on the what the AdMech can give the Brigade. An IG regiment with a very postive history toward the AdMech can receive some perks and minor weaponry, maybe even transport in a pinch, but thats usually the extent of it. Unless the regiment is a branch of the AdMech keep the expectations relatively grounded for how much shit they will chuck to the Brigade.
Isaiah Moore
Chill man. We can drop it no worries. Lets not turn this thread into pit of arguments.
Maybe in lines of: AdMech gave some resources to Brigade but not nearly enough so that every soldier would have some. Eg. New improved gasmasks for higher ranking officers and special troops, some special weapons/grenades.
Matthew Allen
Maybe this can appease Arbites as well as literally everyone else as well as add some depth to the unit, and answer some questions about the homeworld and system.
>The Olde Armour of Argo
>Before the great Argoan Purge, Argo was a land as beautiful as it lavish, great palaces to the nobility embraced by shimmering golden dunes, crystalline river deltas feeding into cities grand and imperial, mighty highways that girdled the magnificent world.
>To adamantium mined elsewhere in the system to vast array of trade contracts with several Rogue Trader Dynasties, the world of Argo was awash with wealth and luxury, which only enabled the nobilities games of court and courtship. Beyond the decadent palaces and sprawling cities of gold and silver, the armies of Argo where as much a status symbols as the famed Sentinel of Argo, a great statue of adamantium in the form of a mighty Terran hero, spear rested against a thick arm, hand sat upon a great circular Shield.
>Though there was a well drilled PDF, the throne world had tithed a few dozen Armored Regiments, although they were simply as lip service to the greater Imperium.
CONT
Christian Thomas
Due to the Eccelesiarchy's high regard for the Brigade they'd probably be happy to deploy tons of the more action oriented priests like confessors. Maybe via coordination with the Brigade, the priests can be seeded into target areas where they spend some time doing their work preaching and rabble rousing, giving the Argo an opportunity to sort out which locals would be willing to join the cause and which are stable and useful and which are just nuts.
I'm chill, but that xenotech thing keeps on coming up and it just doesn't mesh with the rest.
And by what the AdMech would provide, I just meant that the Argo Brigade would get some serious perks but that wouldn't translate into open access to the full AdMech Armory.
In the last thread we concluded that phosphor weaponry would be an ideal arrangement and that all the troopers could probably get high quality armor and gasmasks. I think Hallucination grenades could also be handy in cases where crowd control is needed.
Haywire equipment would probably be off the table because the AdMech is ultra controlling over that stuff. Equally radium weaponry would probably be a bad idea in general cause muh radiation induced cancer.
I mentioned in the last thread the possibility of the AdMech supplying Breachers (melee weapons/bionics that replace a lower arm) for the engineering corp and STF. Equally with good relations with admech they could probably get a good supply of bionics for wounded soldiers.
Gabriel Brooks
Something we should consider is why a desert world of no significant Imperial designation (i.e. a forgeworld, fortressworld, hive world) became the center of system and sub sector intrigue and politics.
Is spot on with this so far. Perhaps the location of Argo was on an ideal warp route that led to the unexplored spaces favored and pursued by Rogue Traders. The planet was in a great position for rogue traders to visit and trade with and so it became wealthy and powerful, however due to the system as a whole being outside the more popular trade routes it never became a wasteland overpopulated hive world.
> One of the most fascinating aspects of Argo is the colored sands. Due to some unknown event or history the sands and desert surrounding the capital city vary in color for simple yellows to rich reds, burning oranges, gleaming whites, majestic purples and soft greens.
> It is often said, whispered around tables in taverns that thats why the blue helmets are blue. Because when they were finally ready to strike and depose the old traitors, they wanted them to see them coming across the colored dunes. The blue helmets marching towards the city and St. Lothar's Court, the old, imposing edifice where the nobles of Argo would meet and rule. Where they would cower as the blue helms overtook the city like a bloody, righteous wave.

>The Argoan Armoured Regiments bore marvelous and esoteric armaments, from mighty Baneblades to steadfast Malcadors to the noble Macharius, which in those storied times was the most pedestrian vehicle amongst those honoured ranks.
>Mere centuries after the brutality of the Heresy, the Magos of Vulcus Omega, the lavish forgeworld of the Illius X system, Kalimar Khan conspired to corrupt the System Govenor to leave the sundered Imperium. To his jubilation Dantonius Validici LX had already set in place his own seditious machinations.
>What neither traitor had accounted for was the loyalists that would not accept such blind betrayal. While all have heard the tale of the ardent Brigade and their struggle against heresy, few outside of the Illius system acknowledge the loyalist warriors of the Vulcus Skitarii or the 7th Argoan Armoured Regiment, without both of which the Brigade would not have succeeded in their honourable campaign.
