Then there's the Reasonable Marines The Rising Sons Lazy Marines Manly Marines The Silly Marines Then there's some honestly pretty cool concepts like the Blood Jaguars Brotherhood of the Megalith Abyssal Jaws Dune Walkers And the Star Krakens In short, there's plenty of funny or cool concepts that have been made into /tg/ chapters.

Theres also Scary Marines who basically just act like villains from bad 90s horror films. Stuff like appearing when lightning flashes and then disappearing, making people disappear and later on reappear dead somewhere and so on.

While there aren't any homebrewed rules for Pretty Marines, nothing stops you from playing them under the Space Marines rules.It's the main reason the 2nd and 11th Legions are expunged, to allow for your own personal chapters. Also because they didn't think the Rainbow Warriors and the Valedictors were good First Founding chapters.

If we're going with 4chan stories, here's my personal favourite single story. I couldn't find it on 1d4chan, nor could I find it on the suptg archives, but I did have it saves, so here:quote:"As you can see," The Master of the Administratum Vorenus droned on, pointing high on the holographic map, towards the oncoming jaws of purple encompassing Imperium space, "By the projections submitted by Inquisitor Czevak, Hive Fleet Leviathan will soon subsume sectors Imber, Sellerten, Gallia, and Charon, crippling the supply lines through out the whole of the Segmentum Tempestus-" Something shifted in the darkness in the vast meeting room, forcing Vorenus to squint, trying to make out which figure was raising his hand at the end of the thirty yards of table. That being said, my favourite series of stories has, and odds are always will be, Love and Krieg.

Basically it's an excuse to giggle - I certainly don't like or agree with everything that shows up there, but I do find a great deal of it highly amusing. But then, I'm also very difficult to insult or offend.

The greatest one in my opinion was when they decided to make the Lazy Marines an actual chapter. They came up with a Space Marine chapter with a malfunctioning Catalespian Node, instead of sleeping 3 hours for every 21 awake or something they instead cannot sleep by choice at all. Instead they can spend years at a time without any sleep and then fall asleep for years. To solve this problem the sleeping Marines are unlisted like the Blood Angels who have fallen to the Black Rage and then used as shock troops because they've trained to be combat capable even whilst asleep.

So notable things for the Chaos Gods, you can't really kill them. I mean the Emperor was trying it by creating the "Imperial Truth" which is basically Humanity, gently caress Yeah + Atheism, but beyond that being a bad way to try to fight Chaos. The Gods will just go dormant, that's what happened to them until the Eldar Murderfucked Slannesh into existence. And even THEN the Gods went dormant, which is how humanity traveled without a webway/Astronomicon. Humanity has brought forth the widespread worship of chaos due to just being numerous, tasty to the warp and easy to corrupt, but even if everyone died and the universe was reduced to a void, the Gods wouldn't DIE. They'd just go to sleep until something else came along. EDIT: This isn't to say Gods can't die, Slannesh murderfucked most of the Eldar Gods. Just there's no real way to do it unless the Emperor flat out became a God.

The Necrons still don't use the warp. They can break into the webway but because they have no souls they cannot interact with the warp at all. They even still have all the warp destroying technology they just won't use it because they're constantly infighting and that plan was originally the C'Tan end goal and the Necrons hate the C'Tan almost as much as the Eldar at this point. Pretty sure the Necrons travel long distances using monoliths and than just letting them drift, it's not like they don't have billions of years to arrive, and faster movement uses some bullshit science magic drive that creates near infinite acceleration to go faster than light-speed or something. Basically the biggest problem the Necrons have is unification, most of the other races have one big important leader or share an ideology that allows a level of coherence. The biggest leader of the Necrons is a depressed sack of crap who refuses to rule his people properly because he feels he is unworthy and so instead of one unified force there are hundreds of thousands of tiny empires ruled by Phaeronic Dynasties vying for control in futility because all of them are loving immortal now for all intents and purposes so it is impossible for any one Dynasty to gain a meaningful amount of power over any other because killing rivals is rarely permanent.

I think part of the joke of the Pretty Marines is that they are loyalist Emperor's Children though, since Fulgrim is second only to Sanguinius in Bishie status. Also the Imperial Truth was a loving stupid as poo poo way to fight to Chaos sadly. It didn't starve them enough, given that they are being of emotion first and foremost, and unless Big E turned humanity into Necrons, humanity would still feel emotions like pride, rage, desire, hope, despair and so on. Further that it left humanity totally and monumentally hosed when daemons first started showing up. It was bad. Even Space Marines could be unhinged by things like seeing blood letters initially just run at them despite taking a heavy bolter to the face. And of course in typical Chaos fashion, the way humanity was initially able to fight them? Started by a Chaos follower. Lorgar was one of the Primarchs and basically founded the religion of the God Emperor. When the Primarchs were taken away by Chaos he landed on a world that was deeply religious, although they unknowingly worshiped aspects of the Chaos gods. However Lorgar had visions of a savior landing glad in gold armor, yadda yadda, it was Big E psychically calling out to his son. Anyway Lorgar got declared a heretic, had to fight a planet wide holy war and won, declaring the Emperor a god when he landed. Big E was pissed at this. When Lorgar wrote the bible of the Imperium, Big E responded in the most dickish way possible. The Ultrasmurfs sacked Lorgar's capital world, while the Emperor forced Lorgar and all his marines to watch, helpless. Lorgar in despair starts turning to the texts of the religion he reshaped, finding out about Chaos and becoming the first Primarch to fall. But his Lectitio Divininatus was loved by a growing group of normal humans, and when daemons started appearing, those who professed faith in the Emperor or used holy icons could actually banish them. Part of why the Ecclesiarchy took such hold. It's hard to argue against religion when previously you had been atheists, literal demons appear, and only religious poo poo can stop them. Just. As. Planned.

They get to go even faster in combat because they can just kick in their FTL drive anywhere basically. I miss Battlefleet Gothic, I was much better at it than 40k.

He wanted the Webway so his people could stop using the Warp for long distance travel. As far as I remember the only safer methods of FTL are the Necrons and the Tyranids for slightly different reasons and neither of those were around in large numbers when the Emperor was awake. The Necron method requires a hell of a lot of technological advancement and the Tyrand one only works for Tyranids because they can produce the required creature to create gravity wells for them to fall through. He was actually going to ask the Eldar nicely originally but then he spoke to Eldrad I think and Eldrad was of course a dick.

He did this by trying to tell the already-corrupted-by-Slaneesh Fulgrim, who attacked the Eldar and utterly skullfucked Human Eldar relations. Why he didn't warn him personally is a question for the ages.

He also told his daughter Macha to be a virgin so she can marry the Emperor. And then the Emperor gets golden throned. Seriously in a setting full of massive dicks, Eldrad is in fact the biggest.
