Come one come all, ye who have ideas and ideals. This is the thread for those that wish to ADVANCE PLOT, either of our own creation or that which is perpetually stuck at M39.999…
This thread is generally about expansion, elaboration, and elucidation of the Warhammer 40,000 setting and stories. Sectors like Aetern and Se'roun, various custom space marine chapters, fluff concerning forgotten gods, carving a place for your dudes to dwell, writefaggotry on Tau AI wuv, and speculation of Sororitas panty patterns are all welcome. That said, do try to make it clear if you're going for canon compliance or Fuklaw kablamming crazy.
I'll be collecting the many disparate creation tables into one handy OP because fucking hell it's too late at night to find those right now.

Have the Tau, who were previously small guys with questionable ability at industrialization go full nazi or as a faction known as the Tau'zi(they were already there basically with their policies) including new designs and army layouts. A handful of traditionalist Tau factions remain but most have rallied behind a charismatic but lowly earth caste Tau Hitt'la (who is combining new political organization with strong scientific and industrial growth.
They have gone from an eastern presence in an unprecedented hundred years of war, to a widespread threat that has managed to fight back both the imperium and the orks to claim significant territory. More humans then ever before are finding themselves Gue'vesa. More people then ever are embracing a new philosophy of Gue'vesa where notably useful individuals of the Gue'vesa are given more rights then ever before for their service. A powerful but precarious position known as the Gue'stappo
Their actions are having an affect on the warp, the attrocities that they use against anyone who does assist them in the name of the Greater Good is empowering Chaos but the two seem oddly removed from one another. The Tau's lack of reliance on the warp to travel has shielded them from much of the agitation although stories of Tau marked by a single metaline horn have started to emerge.
The Tau of course deny any connection to these human philosophies but are secretly researching a great many Warp related aspects, especially for weapons or manufacture are concerned.
The Tau'zi, having established the prime pathways required to rapidly spread into the entire galaxy, now only require people and equipment before their grandplan to create a Fortress Galaxy to repell the majority of the Tyranid menace before it arrives.
(Yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about , but I need you to paint stupid sexy Tau'zi in their new colours and make this a thing)

I'm amused. A little less on the nose and it'd be an interesting faction. Tau that see the Greater Good as being directed by someone dragged up from the bottom is a good concept. Another possibility is Tau that see the Greater Good as being decided by the will of everyone in a true communist democracy.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdZfTTmF3mQ Long ago, a celestial clock was constructed, a testimony to the very concept of time. Long ago a daemon committed the penultimate sin, and was hounded to a place colder than hell. Long ago and to this day he drags the ill fated to share his prison. Now the clock's gear are welded, melded, sprung and stripped. There are those that wish to fix it for their god, there are those who wish to break it for good, and there are those that wish to command it for their own gain. The most, however, have become so many ticks and tocks. The spring is wound tight, the pressure mounts, and the friction is burning red hot.]
Where will you stand when the clock strikes midnight?
The Ætern Sector is a part of the [[Imperium of Man]] skirting the edges of the Veiled Regions, and within the bounds of [[Segmentum]] Tempestus. Imperial forces carved it out some three thousand years before the present, but humans have inhabited it for much longer. It is a relatively sparse region of space, only containing a few dozen stars and few planets of mineral wealth; in addition, stellar activity and climates are often colder than average in Ætern, exacerbated by the shadowy phenomena of the Veil (among other factors). The Imperium controls much of the sector, though its reach weakens further into the clouds, and ceases altogether in the region's center. Ætern is divided into four sub-sectors (technically five) surrounding the center, clockwise: Vladimur's Domain, housing the Sector Capital (Carstein), Sothoth Deeps, containing the Adeptus Mechanicus hub (Belmond), Függönyfal, the Veil-choked permanent frontier, and the Bram Highlands, paradoxically containing a seat of Ecclesiarchal control (Himmelwelt) and primary destination for a unique xenos-and-human immigration problem sector-wide. This problem is termed the Pharos Aeterno Effect, an inexplicable lure radiated across the galaxy from the sector's center, the Ænigma Damnatio, a bizarre and impossibly old doppled warp anomaly (composed of the Brass Labyrinthe and the Forever Pit below it). The Pharos draws in the unwanted, the undesirable, and the misfit in their billions every year through infectious dreams, and within Ætern they come to stay. The peoples living within all move to a rhythm of the sector, billions migrating (often in circular fashion) around the sub-sectors. It is their blood, souls, and actions which fuel Ætern, both in mild prosperity and in the coming damnation. The forces of Chaos boil within the center and rampage without, aliens swarm in from all corners of the galaxy, a Daemon-god bellows in its maze, and a great clock counts down to midnight.
Welcome to the work of [[8chan]] /tg/, a custom sector built on a whim from scratch. It is intended to serve as a setting for Fantasy Flight's [[Warhammer 40,000]] roleplaying games, and to an extent also the tabletop wargames. Work started on it back in September of 2015, and has continued on and off since then. As much of the development was not organized, this article will be continuously updated.

I like this direction, though I would call the Tau'xi/Tau'tsi, just to make it look more asiatic and change Hitt'la to a Gue'vesa human who might have risen up to prominence during a new sphere expansion. Eventually having the Tau Empire replace the imperium of man as Tau anti-warp technology develops to the point of being more efective than anything Human faith is capable of. Hitt'la might not have actually been Gue'vesa, he might never have even existed but he is useful as a symbol of how the greater good can elevate anyone and everyone to greatness in its service as well as a symbol that all are welcome to serve the greater good.
The Tau Empire would then be divided between two factions, Tau radical reactionaries and Greater Good purists who denounce the radicals as a dangerous new ethno-cult (though both are manipulated from the shadows by the ethereals as controlled internal opposition to funnel any and all social unrest into)
The Tau Imperium is highly diverse and it's fierce hand of oppression is welcomed as a security measure agains the ever-present shadow of Tyranid end-times.
The Imperium of man is reduced to little more than what the craftworld eldar were in M41 and is seen across the galaxy as a backwards religion practiced by a backwards and extinct race (imperial humans being propagandized as subhumans cognitively incapable of undersanding the greater good).
The fate of Terra and the Golden Throne there-on is unknown, it's simply missing, the Tau either cannot find it, have found it and do not value it or is keeping it's fate and location top secret.
Space-Marines human origins are largely forgotten and the knowledge of a difference existing between chaos marines and loyal marines is unknown or suppressed. Space-Marine, like the word "vandal" is now an ethnonymic slur for the seemingly indiscrimating bands of genocidic raiders that inexplicably web through out the galaxy, armored giants without plan or purpose destroying anyone and anything they come across.
In reality though, the fringe remnants of Imperial authority are Marinarchical territories governed by Space-Marine chapters and in almost every territory, though obviously with high variance between them, the Adminstratum and Ecclesiarchy have folded into the governing chapters out of necessity and the seperation of church, state and military is even more nonexistent than they previously were.
Sisters of Battle ironically remain largely autonomous as an extra-ecclesiarchical body fulfilling an inquisitorial role within their territory.

Hey, military history fag here.
They're remembered for a number of reasons.
>He was the man who took a group of maybe 1500 people living in an area maybe 10 square miles at most (estimates as the Zulu were an entirely oral culture and hard numbers are hard to get at) and turned them into an empire that absorbed most of the other tribes they encountered.
>While his military tactics were nothing all that special by European standards at the same sort of technology level "Hey guys, outflanking the enemy and keeping a designated reserve unit seems to work bretty well" was revolutionary for Natal and Africa in general. Hell, he was responsible for war becoming something more than a ritualised formality that was used to settle minor disputes.
>The Zulus took advantage of the European colonial forces tendency to underestimate him and commanded an army large enough and disciplined enough to largely account for the technological gap (see: Battle of Isandlwana)
>They caught the imagination of the European populace and particularly the British population for being kind of impressive and enough of a thorn in their plans to be worth remembering.
>Isandlwana was a huge shock to the system for the British, as it was a battle they should have won but lost spectacularly.
Shaka wasn't involved in the Anglo-Zulu war, he had been assassinated by his brothers before it broke out. He basically went full super-villain when his mother died (any woman getting pregnant will be executed along with her husband. Cows - the main measure of wealth in their economy - were slaughtered en masse so that their calves would know the pain of losing a mother etc.). The king during the war was Cetshwayo, the son of Mpande, who was one of Shakas brothers and had arranged Shakas assassination. If you're looking for something to read up on, and don't mind having to go to primary sources to get around the revisionism you're likely to see in modern works on the subject then this isn't a bad one to pick, it's a hel of a story. Or just sit down and watch Zulu a few times.

Webway turns out to be the 5th dimensional belly of the Void Dragon. Dragon wakes up, all the webway is swallowed into the dragon, universe implodes, Emperor dies/reincarnates instantly while absorbing the fragments of the star child and the sensei to become more powerful than ever. Dragon and Emperor fuse into a true all powerful godhead and remake creation in the blink of an eye that seems to last forever. Some shit is wrong and broken, pockets of unreality filled with the warp exist. All that was living at the moment of the Void Dragon's awakening is remade, but retains fragmentary memories of their past.

Unfortunately, thanks to how they were created, their information is even more spread out than the Crematorians. However, there is this beginning…
we have a derived from the raven guard's geneseed and founded rather late to combat whatever the fuck is going on in this sector. They're ULTRA-TACTICOOL OPERATING BROS and they revere some tactical captain who genocided an entire alien race into oblivion. FUCK YOU XENOS. They live in a civilized wasteland, AKA the middle-east. They don't really give a damn about the politics there, so long as they get to pump out recruitment propoganda. They have a unique organization that means their veterans go on to become the leadership of the chapter rather than in direct combat, giving them a bit of a disadvantage in combat. However, they have a shit-ton of rare weaponry because apparently it was just lying around somewhere(???)
however, they have a dearth in numbers (which their recruitment offices are desperately trying to fix)
as for their religiousness, they love the EMPRAH as he is the most TACTICAL. may he bless us with ammo pouches and aussault clips. however, for whatever reason they made ENEMIES OF THE ECCLESIARCHY.

Turns out It's actually Malcador's body still on the Throne because historians throught it'd be more Heroic if Malcador turned into dust, though Emps entered Malcador's body and molded with his soul just as he was created.
In this age of Grim Darkness it seems the Gods of Chaos have turned the strife of the Galaxy into their own personal plaything however, the billions of trillions of Humans revering the Emperor (and by extension, the body of Malcador) have Increased his strength a thousandfold. This poses threat to the Gods of Chaos, but fortunately for them the Emperor is barely conscious enough to maintain the Webway gate on Terra and the Astronomicon, for the most part at least…
The Emperor is more of a they than a he, all the collection of souls from his birth are in singularity with each other but retain small shrivels of their individuality. He had always been like this but when the fervent piety directed toward him had given him much larger amounts of strength. The Pious were even able to join the Emperor's collective in some cases, and with a thousand Pykers consumed by the Emperor every day his power is enough to destroy at least two of the Chaos Gods.
But he remains unconscious. But he was also in some way; asleep. Dreams about the heartbreak he suffered when he saw the body of his son under Horus, oh the rage he felt! But just as he was going to annihilate Horus he stopped, it was only until the last possible second through tears and great heartbreak did the Emperor wipe Horus from existence. Other dreams started, the ones who did it all…
Tzeentch, if not for the snarky bird who would even dare to invade his Dreams in order to taunt him knowing how powerless he was he could have conquered the Galaxy in but a few more decades. His rage was stifled by his lack of consciousness and remained in his deep, deep, sleep.
However in the year M42 .125 the Golden throne had become partially broken; the ones responsible for it you ask? None other than the Alpha Legion. Under the guise of a Custodian, Omegon himself entered the Throne room and had damaged the Golden throne to the point where the Emperor's soul was now only partially anchored to it.
The Result was the waning of the Astronomican, the High Lords tried to lie and say it was the result of a Warpstorm. Another result is that the Emperor's soul was split, the Original proto-pykers staying with the Golden throne and Malcador's body, while the soul of Malcador and the power of all the Religious fervor of Mankind and the sacrificed souls up until that point.

Okay, I just feel that including crematorians in this will etenernally damn them not as 'that kewl /tg/ chapter that stalks the webway and knows who to mop the floor with spehss elves' and instead 'that /tg/ chapter from when we made a sector'.

Biel-tan managed to deal with the infestation but it did upset their plans to attack an Imperial world and threw their plans off.

Summary Report: Threat Designate "Nanoplague" (Also known as the Grey Change, the Mutator's Friend, Soul-Eaten Sickness, Abhorrent Combination, Isolation Syndrome, Mixer Pox, Nurgle's Bane, Blightstone's Harvest…'''[See 1015-A Subreport 30 "Nomen" for further variations]) is a biomechanical contagion unique to the Ætern Sector afflicting its denizens since regional compliance. At various times since its discovery on Demeter, the contagion threatened to extinguish Imperial authority sector-wide, most critically in the initial pandemic of M37.940-47. Since then, the Holy Ordos purged or isolated the most dangerous viral strains to Bram Highlands Sub-sector. Quarantine operations are in place, and the Ordos eliminate reported outbreaks with all speed. However, the contagion has splintered and mutated in the millennia since into sub-strains and new sicknesses. Their spread causes grief and complication across the sector, and is deemed the cause of an ongoing (if arguably controlled and thankfully localized) xenos-human blasphemy.
A communications breakdown has made it widely known that the Nanoplague originated on planet Demeter, colloquially known as Blightstone. Information scatter blurs finer details, but our adepts confirmed Demeter's contemporary Agri-world and trade post status enabled the pandemic. Sources tell of optimal grain harvests transported across the sector without in-depth inspection or delay. The new sector needed provisioning, and no other local Agri-world had the same yield. Every last harvest was tainted. All ships, stations, and worlds carrying or consuming the crops received the contagion. Local administrations did not investigate the outbreak of initial symptoms among the colonists, which appeared more psychological and environmental stigma than viral illness. Then fringe outposts and isolated vessels ceased regular reports. Worlds in the Highlands began rebuffing intra-sector trade. Astropaths and other sanctioned psykers reported a growing feeling of "oily absence" in the Warp. Planet Justiciam became hostile to all contact over the course of a month. Investigation commenced in earnest with that rebellion, or rather its destruction. Imperial forces would have purged the apparent cult and then shipped in new colonists, but discovery of the Nanoplague's advanced stage symptoms prompted full Inquisitorial attention.

A communications breakdown has made it widely known that the Nanoplague originated on planet Demeter, colloquially known as Blightstone. Because the new sector urgently needed provisioning, and because no local Agri-world could match Demeter’s yield, grain shipments were expedited throughout Aetern. Munitorum investigation indicates that these shipments endured minimal inspection, an oversight that would prove costly.
Every last harvest was tainted, and the contagion spread to every planet and station that received shipments from Demeter. Administratum records indicate that local authorities initially dismissed symptoms as the result of previously-undiagnosed psychological defects or reactions to environmental stigma.
Then anarchy set in.
Fringe outposts and isolated vessels ceased all contact. Worlds in the Highlands began rebuffing intra-sector trade. Astropaths and sanctioned psykers reported sensations of an "oily absence" in the Warp. Planet Justiciam became increasingly insular over the course of a month, culminating in attempted secession.
Investigation began in earnest with the rebellion’s suppression. Standard procedure would have been to repopulate Justiciam with new colonists following the eradication of the apparent cult presence. However, the discovery of the Nanoplague's advanced symptoms put those designs on hold and drew the full attention of the Inquisition.

They aren't stupid of course. Captured Eldar are stripped of their weapons, interrogated, and then allowed to leave with as many spirit stones as they can carry. The Crematorians know they are barely tolerated because of their disruption of this predominantly Deldar region, and keeping the soul stones benefits nobody. If a craftworld were to choose it could purge them, at a high cost.
No.218946
>>218945
Well they would probably keep a fair amount of soulstones on them Hostage because then if a craftworld came to attack they would simply smash them.
Also, a Craftworld would have MUCH more trouble dealing with Crematorians who SPECIALIZE in fighting Eldar while other Imperial forces only fight Eldar every now and then. A Craftworld /could/ eradicate them but at a cost so great it would not be worth it, coupled with the fact they may be able to dial-up other space marine chapters if shit gets too intense.

The Crematorians have a rich known History, however there are many parts of their History that they wish kept secret.
There was some evidence by Inquisitor Sercius about a large scale conflict against an Eldar Craftworld, there was also some clues left behind that other chapters had aided the Crematorians in such a huge battle.
The evidence leans to a situation where an Entire Craftworld was either Destroyed or heavily damaged. After discovering this Inquisitor Sercius had a 'discussion' with Chapter Master, after this the Inquisitor did not pursue research into the conflict.

Let's combine the two.
The poles of the planet are temperate, a sort of twilight Chernobyl as the magnetic field is weak and asteroids fall often. Many of these asteroids are from a failed xenos scouting fleet that got chopped up by flak, and thus contain all sorts of ill bits from minor chaotic influence to high radiation fuel tanks. The fortress monastery is on the South pole. The equator is less radioactive but really dry, ranging from cedar forests to savannah, but mostly olive tree style shrubland to outright desert.
Most of the remaining human population lives on the equator, eeking out a more or less feral-world existence. While the xenos fleet was eventually broken, it had already glassed the cities and production centers. The rural folk and the ex-city folk are always at odds, as while they often depend on each other some resources scarce. They wait for Carstein to come to their aid, for the marines to help them rebuild, for the emperor to deliver them from their decline. Or at least they did so generations ago.
Occasionally one of the robed and metal angels of the emperor descend into a village or city and give orders. Sometimes it's for the two strongest amongst them to fight to the death, sometimes it's for the village to destroy another over the horizon, but more often than not it's a demand for the strong drink Wovki. To be the provider of Wovki to the angels is considered an honor, and will increase trade to the peoples there as merchants wish to see the angels with their own eyes.
They are not completely isolated though, a rogue trader comes by once every few years and a strange rodent like xenos race does much the same. They buy all the xenos devices the locales have collected, along with large supply of Wovki. In return much needed supplies, news and tools are given. This has made the profession of "Stalker" a commonality near the poles. They hunt for the artifacts and devices while fighting weird beasts and isolate xenos survivors. The best Stalkers have in the past caught the eye of the Emperor's angels, and been inducted into their ranks.
Their main tool, used to pry the prizes from bulkheads and stone and the living grasp of their owners, is called a Dervish. The xenos were fond of this blade type. Very sharp, and very light, but the magic comes from its inherent properties. When one spins the blade a small gravity field spins out as well, causing it to fall in the direction of its spinning. In this way a properly handled Dervish can be made to move at ludicrous speeds. The forms vary, from short sword to halberd and all between, but the curve of the blade and whirling device in the hilt are always present.

The high towers billow a foul cloud. In the early days it was a minor wisp, a brief stroke of white on a cold blue sky. Now it is a bilious tear of black across a carmine ocean of roiling fire. The tower itself, first a drab grey of prefabricated sheets, now a carved masterpiece of bone and hand cast steel. What once was traditional and weak has been reforged into a mighty bulwark of production not seen anywhere else in the galaxy. An entire planet turned toward preparations for war.
Not just a few manufactorum dotting the horizon, or the continent sprawling works of a forgeworld, but the entire planet high and low. All volcanic activity capped and regulated to stoke the forges, all flowing water made to quench the nuclear engines and cool castings, even the very air itself thickly choked with the refuse from a hundred thousand ziggurats of smoke stacks. This planet is Azharad Kheluthum, the Brass City Walled in Bells. It is war, or it will be. The time is near, the pendulum is but one swing away. It feels as though the ticking has slowed. A single moment in time taking a decade to pass. A golden star shines through the red haze, challenging and obstinate.
For ten thousand years the very washing of one's beard was timed exactly. An invisible all consuming force pervaded into ones bowel movements, words, smithing, emotions. It has meant great prosperity and unnaturally long lives. It has meant service to a dark and deep bull of fire. The Elders liked to pretend the ancestors protect them from the worst of it, planned deaths and chaotic mutations for instance, but it is a double edged bargain to avoid these matters. Every disaster averted causes a freezing of the flesh in them. They are imbued with the bull lords own power as it pushes against the clockwork, but they are turned to stone for their troubles.
Once a Khornate incursion was due to make landfall, a bloody affair that would cause delays for centuries if not a millennium. Astragoth, Guildmaster of Sorcery, forced himself out of the rhythm and into the deepest volcanic forge. The volcano erupted at his command, shooting his now fully stone body into the upper atmosphere. One instant the sky was filled with a thousand shooting stars, the next a thousand fiery bulls came out of the statue and ate the stars. Astragoth has hence been outfitted with bionics, moving by sorcerous hydraulics alone inside his charred stone self. It is quite comical to see a statue make up for lost time, wobbling around at breakneck speeds.
When the clock strikes a great army will take vengeance. Not a minor petty vendetta, but a true grudge absolving cleansing of life. All will pay a full toll for the misdeeds done to them and theirs. Past, present, and future. The galaxy would deny them their existence? Then the galaxy must be denied the same in turn. The time has come, and so has Hashut.

He was recruited in the year M41 862 among those captured by the Dark Eldar he was rescued and brought into the Astartes Chapter, he was highly valued due to him being psychically blank allowing him to be immune to the visions of the Eldar Seers.

The great thing about warhammer is how many people have piled on their interpretations over fourty years. It is a living, breathing, mythology. It does what Tolkien could only try to emulate, repeating the same tale over and over without regard for detail, keeping the spirit yet changing the context.

This is how mystery is born, this is how tangential tales are made. The inconsistencies tell new stories by themselves. Army list says no terminators allowed, but the tale you write heavily depicts them? Well shit, we have a missing or destroyed first company. They found over thirty perfectly preserved Scimitars, but only the command squad uses them on tabletop? Hot damn that's some founding chapter oppressive imposition right there.
