Or criminal knights.

Or Beasts of No Nation African child soldiers

Or some Robin Hood motherfuckers

Or space ISIS/Fremen

Or Molemen

Chill man.
It's alright.

Rolled 79 (1d100)

Neato, specialized lasguns

>Criminal knights in 'nam

Shotgun Lasguns

>With Bayonets so long they're swords

Maybe these guys aren't ACTUAL criminals, and they're just flaggelants? Like they're repenting for mankind's sins as a whole

Rolled 53 (1d100)

>Glory In Death: The regiment's mission is to die, and take as many enemies with it as possible.

This simply keeps getting more interesting every time.

Let's see who you're buddy buddy with.

Those suggestions work too. French Foreign Legion and Russian military also. Maybe Finns during winter war.

dice+d100

Rolled 66 (1d100)

Titan legion, oh this is gud.

That too. Make them as NC (planetside 2) as possible.

True.

Rolled 88 (1d100)

Chaos space marines. Heh heh, this is gonna be a fucking kids show. They just have to be just as much of hicks.

On eeeet.

And crocodile/lizard people.

Let's do a round up check.

neat. now lets write the fluff. where should we start?

actually nevermind fluff, whats our regiment name?

...

Ahh man, I have to right fluff? Ok fine alright. I guess it'd be space 'merica Kansas.

Maybe a religious cult that's trying to eliminate their sins like suggested? That'd fit in for the first part.

Yeah, there friendos with titan legions since they supply them with food and troop support. Natural mechanics hence the mechanization and specialized lasguns. They have a happy-go-lucky attitude towards life and see dying for the emperor as a mighty glory, each man getting our equivalent of a medal of honor for either dying or fighting valiantly against impossible odds. Men will go back to the penal agri world to have kids with their wives/lovers and keep going on tours of duty when not farming. Either that or the first child goes to war.

Not sure about Chaos and Lizard men. I guess they're near warp area or a pirate zone.

We seem to be roughly tied between Space 'Nam and Space Rednecks. Anyway we can combine the two? And also figure out why they wanna die.

Hmmm, can't think of one.

Maybe a mix match of a militia group out west.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militia_organizations_in_the_United_States
darkgovernment.com/news/list-of-u-s-militia-groups/

Ashland (/k/'s up and coming homebrew) is also a good source.

ashlands.wikia.com/wiki/Ashlands:_A_/k/_Role-Playing_Game_Wikia
Forrest Gump comes to mind.

hey can yall mind giving me a minnute? i think i can make a rough idea for the faction,

im sorta slow so please bare with me

Oh yeah, maybe we should name their homeworld(s)

Kamcac Sector?

Shit misread that. It was shark people.

Rolled 76 (1d100)

Ya know what, as much as I love shark girls, those guys aren't really relevant anymore. I'm gonna reroll that one.

GUMP
Guerrilla
Units
Mechanized
Patrol

that settles it, Kamcac GUMP's it is

ok so hows t

Hellgrammites...

Angry zombie warp worms with advance technology. Or.... shark girls.

Two relatively irrelevant factions. What not to love. Pick and choose.

Yeah, I'll go with that.

As joke within the Kamcac sector/world, GUMP ends up standing for Giant. Ugly. Mean. People.

>Enter thread
>See rolls
>Hope for Templars Penitent
>Get fucking hicks

The South is a shithole, I moved to the northwest for a god damn reason. You people know not what you worship

So we have with Anything else?

ok sorry this is taking to long

lets just say for now they got attacked by a tyranid hive fleet and a titan legion/Mechanicus saved there back water asses in the nick of time and now they worship farm equipment or something i dont know.

i pulled this out of my ass but i hope it works

A shitty faction for a shitty universe, what not to love. Besides if you hate it to so much, these guys are suppose to have a murder/death boner.

I like it, I like it, but change out hive fleet with Chaos Space Marine if you want to stay true to the roll

*CSM then

Derp, wrong one

ok i cant force any ideas out.

go wild, sorta abandoning thread. im just holding this idea back by trying to lead it

OH MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY THAT'S THE TRAMPLIN AT THE ZOO

WE WASHED OURSELVES IN XENO BLOOD, ALL THE MUTANTS TOO

WE'RE TAKING DOWN THE HERETICS COUP BY COUP BY COUP

THE IMPERIUM MARCHES ON!

GLORY GLORY BLOOD AND HONOR
GLORY GLORY BLOOD AND HONOR
GLORY GLORY BLOOD AND HONOR

THE IMPERIUM MARCHES ON!

Ok, so let's combine this shit.

For aesthetics: , , , , , and a bit of my own. Maybe have some of the more light-hearted ones like , , , , and pic related without the kebab

Fluff: , , , , , ,

Actually, we don't necessarily have to have it be space 'merica.

We can always have them be Slav/Scandinavian. Sure it's not Templars, but we can make it close to them with peasants.

What kind of mechanized are we talking about? Because there are some other Rednecks In Space that we should either emulate or steer clear of..

I honestly love the idea that this is modified farming equipment that doubles as tanks.

Actually, we could get a mad max car cult going on here, like the warrior cast could be like war boys and believe that the farming equipment is a extension of there body or something

Hmmm, we can have it a mix of sorts. Mechanization of all sorts of levels, ranging from homemade vehicles, to crude imitations of power armor and knights, to industrial powerhouse mechs with a heavy diesel punk emphasis on them.

Starcraft, as well as stuff Starship Trooper, are good sources but shouldn't be too heavily relied on unless we make the titans/Ad Mec more relevant in the regiment(s).

Maybe have the regiment sort of worship the Omnissiah while still holding strong respects to the Emperor and some afterlife mumbo jumbo.

Why not both? To get some of that america-russia rivalry going. The planet had a cold war turned hot now they pay for their sins of rebellion by having to work together as separate-yet-allied rival factions.

The planetary governor was old, decrepit, and extending his life long beyond what it should have, and while he was too busy clinging to a shitty bed ridden life several decades of politics went haywire and by the time he died there was a limited, yet devastating war. The limited factor explaining why they're not Kriegers and the planet is still bountiful.

The South is absolutely horrible, zombified methheads, drunk inbred hicks, and braindead fanatics everywhere, poison ivy, wild dogs, year-long summer drought, I have suffered for years! You do NOT want to move here, nosiree, it's terrible! The South is an absolutely hellhole filled with crazy people and you people should stay far, far, FAR away at ALL costs!

Sure,

Fuck, lets throw in some imperial knights as well for shits n giggles,

Also another idea, this is dumb as fuck but hear me out.

What if they also worship the fruits/life that grows on the planet as well, or at least some religious connections with what they grow, believing that it's there sole duty to grow crops for reasons. Mabye as a guilt complex for having criminals as ancestors

Ok so the north of the planet is Russian style farmers and the south is the hellhole.

This is cannon now

Well they're both farmers. Both have very entrenched cultural norms and traditions, both are deeply religious, both hold family and homeland second only to the Emperor.

With so much in common, no wonder they hate eachother.

The North is primitive Slav farmers struggling to survive under cruel techno-feudal nobles, and the South is ramshackle-futuristic Mad Max Rednecks on steroids and crystal meth? And both sides have recently fought a devastating nuclear war, and the Regiment is made up of the worst people of both societies? Sounds badass.

>meanwhile in the south....
NO HERETIC

CAN FIND FAVOR

WITH.. THE EMPORER!! EVERRRRR!

>meanwhile in the north...
(Lots of loud mumbling in High Gothic that may actually be praise to the Emperor or Omnisiah or both as one person, it all kind of blends together at this point)

>forgot pic

lets not forget the starving russian children asking if we have enough beets for the machinery for the winter

holy shit, these be me kin.

He just needs to stand longer in the beet line, tovarich.
Those in the north are Martian Orthodox, a branch of the imperial cult favored by IoM citizens who have deep exposure to the Mechanicus (but not followers of the Machine Cult proper, like forge worlders).

Their practices are ancient and esoteric, and a reminder to a time before the wars and northern Politburo.

Yeah sure, but they did roll a "strict to thr emporer". Maybe consider them gifts from the Emperor or something.

Wait which part of the South. Texas is alright. South west you got mormons. Maybe we can some Joshua Graham esque character in the fluff

should we talk about the Lasgun customization side of the regiment now or are we still brainstorming ideas?

ALL OF IT, ALL OF IT!!! PLEASE, PLEASE STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, STAY, FAR, FAR, AWAY!!! THERE'S NO REASON, AT, ALL, THAT YOU SHOULD EVEN THINK, ABOUT COMING TO THE SOUTH, THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS!!! SERIOUSLY, LISTEN TO ME, NEVER EVER COME TO THE SOUTH, FOR ANY REASON AT ALL!!!

There are Space Mormons who are friendly, polite, and overly talkative. They wish to show you the "correct" teachings of their prophet so you can abandon the muddled teachings of Mars and the freewheeling Terrantist preachers.

they are 1000% a genestealer cult

actually, I DO like the soviet angle better

especially if the Imperial Knights get dressed up like Russian Tanks.

We can split the difference and make them russian rednecks

AKA Gopniks

>they are 1000% a genestealer cult

they could be the remnents/leftovers from the hiveship invasion

But Texas.

Gopniks in the style of southern american rednecks and you got yourself a deal

We could have it a bit 1920s styled. I'd still like a west/east difference.

Maybe we could have various regiments have various cultural themes. Not to the extent like IRL, but 1920s North America/Europe themed, with some other cultures like Asian and Middle East

should we call it quits for tonights and continue tomarrow? the thread is more or less going at a snails pace and i feel like were wasting space right now

But for now, lets stick with one regiment like

for

Eh that happens at night. Maybe archive the brainstorms and ideas on a pastebin, 1d4chan, or a word document.

Maybe makeshift styles the are reminisent of the 20th century western/eastern firearms, ranging from the measily Mosin the the admirable AR-15

NO NO NO! You don't understand, STAY AWAY from the South, stay FAR FAR away! It's dusty, it's crude, and the people are backwards gun nuts! Never ever ever come here, and don't even THINK about settling down, buying prime real estate, and starting a family! Don't do it, you'll regret it later!
