Alternate Legion - The Scions Hospitalier

[bluntblade]

We hasn't discussed them yet. Grave Stalkers and WoP might be a different issue as psykers wouldn't be able to read them

[bluntblade]

If I do make that change to Odyssalas' way of using his gun, will it alter his rules/cost much? Also wondering if a hotshot las might be more suitable.

[Slips]

Hotshots don't exist yet in 30k AFAIK.

 

Also, the way he shoots his gun in stories has literally no in-game effect.

[bluntblade]

Serpenta it is, then

[Chief Captain Redd]

Slip, we actually added the Hot Shot Las weaponry post DoR, though they're mostly used by the Suzerainty And the Daughters of Daer'dd when they hunt Astartes.

[bluntblade]

A little late for Odyssalas to acquire one, all the same. He'll have gained Ladon as an officer of the Phantoms, a decade or so before he ascended to the Déka

Love it! Can't wait to see what you do with the Drowned and Bears!

[bluntblade]

If I ever start doing tabletop armies, I'm doing a Scions one and I'm getting a Phantom officer with just that pose.

[bluntblade]

Thinking about that painting of Dorn with the holos, I'd love to see a similar one with Pionus and some of the Déka. Antonidas looming grimly, Odyssalas with his hand among the holos, suggesting somethings, and Mytakis present too.

Hey Slips, have you any ideas for the XIX Legion fortress-monastery?

Hey Slips, have you any ideas for the XIX Legion fortress-monastery?

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

 

Something along the lines of this:

[bluntblade]

Yes. How about Machimeum as a name? Reaching back into the myths around Atlantis

[Nomus Sardauk]

Wasn't the Scions' Fortress-Monastery called Hell's Heart? Or was that a seperate facility?

 

If so then how about... Rapture. The Threshold? The Deep Halls? Reefhold?

[bluntblade]

Hell's Heart was the flagship.

[Slips]

Sounds a bit too close to Mechanicum to my taste but its a good start.

 

I'm tempted to go with Lemuria but I'm open to pretty  much anything if it fits.

 

Hells' Heart, in an homage to Moby Dick, is their Gloriana. Also gives the narrative option for the line "FROM HELLS HEART I STAB AT THEE!" :P

[bluntblade]

I see what you mean. Lemurium?

[Slips]

Sounds fine to me!

Dinas Affaraon

 

Description:Legendary home to a branch of the Druids called the Pheryllt, who worked as metallurgists and alchemists. Also known as “The City of Higher Powers,” or the “Ambrosial City”, its rumored location is Snowdonia and is said to be the original placename of Dinas Emrys.

 

Maybe this could be used directly or adapted? Seemed to me, considering what I know of this Legion, to fit the character of the Legion quite well.

[bluntblade]

Would the Phaeton Stormbirds comprise a relatively small part of the Scions' flotill? I reckon they should have plenty of void-and-atmospheric gunships as well, as the Phaeton's carrying capacity is limited.

[Slips]

Phaeton Stormeagles =/= Stormbirds yo

Whoops.

 

Btw, is Sokar the only currently known Stormbird pattern?

[Slips]

Its the only one we have and the smallest one.

[bluntblade]

Anyone got a name they'd like to put forward for that one in the old (like, really old) Ultras picture?
