Liber Campaigns

[paulJam]

Trying to produce a list of campaigns/battles/events based on liberite writings so other liberites can reference non-canon events in their own writing.
[edit: once again i have walked into a figurative pole directly before me, just now noticing (30/09/15) the 'Liber Campaign' thread pinned on the sub-forum. this was not an attempt to compete or copy, just proof (again) that there's nothing new under the sun... and a lot on this site.]

Hidden Content

I was reading through various comentary recently re DIY chapters and it was suggested "don't use canon battles and name dropping."
fair enough, makes sense.
 
then a topic today prompted me to thing it might be fun to have some liber created campaigns or events that we can share for DIY history.
 
obviously if we had 25 DIY all rocking up to the same conflict then that might be a bit sus, but if we get a supply of different places and different times with different enemies it might give us some liber-canon history.
 
Wasn't suggesting filling in a huge amount of detail, might be something like (easy example)....
 
Segmentum: Pacificus
Sector: Faldrunner - central, far north of segmentum
Time Frame: M40.500-M40.520
Enemy: Ork Waargh Grazbanga
Systems: Blep, Crumped, Pogo (add as required)
Brief Description: Large ork invasion fleet, hulk plus 3 cruiser eq. First contact Blep system, rhino chassis makers.
 
then say half a dozen chapters might send a company, regiment or whatever to a named world or nearby system/supply route/warp jump point.
 
we could possibly back-reference (highly optional) a collection of different stories about the same conflict from different perspectives/Chapter/Opposing forces if we're super bored.
 
i'm pretty sure we've all got 3 or 4 historic events in our existing DIY projects. Care to make them multiplayer?
 
 
p.s. doesn't need to be collaborative writing or anything, just internal namedropping... "The Iron Penguins were at the battle of Blep Secondus in M40.502 where they assisted the Adamantine Squirels in their ongoing campaign..."
 
p.p.s. might not be a shared campaign... "The aftermath of the Iron Penguin campain and their subsequent departure left Belp Secondus in disarray. The subseqent rise of a tyranic dictator sees the the Golden Monkeys Chapter subduing the rebelious state...."
 
p.p.p.s might only be peripheral... "While the Iron Penguins fight on Blep Secondus, the retreating ships of Warboss Floop threaten the nearby Gerp System. The Holy Order of Skippy rally to protect the system...."
 
would probably require an awareness of the other writers' efforts to avoid uncanon conflict.

I'm game!

Segmentum: Tempestus

System: Flynn (East of Ophellia VII), substantial mining resources

Time Frame: 680.M40-688.M40. Primary conflict noted as resolved (as of 688.M40) (Ordos Xenos - Rathari)

Conflict Type: Long running Ork invasion. Initial Imperial Guard response ineffective due to limited resources.

Sounds good.

I think this would be very helpful for newcomers like me.

I'm currently writing (slowly) the background for a system of planets that have been Chaosifed near the borders of Imperial space, that way nothing clashes with any GW fluff. So far I have the bare bones of two planets done, Helvette and Iblis. When I am done if people are interested I'll post the background up so people can set their armies fluff in the system if they wish.

Segmentum: Tempestus

System: Flynn (East of Ophellia VII), substantial mining resources

Time Frame: 680.M40-688.M40. Noted as resolved 688.M40 (Ordos Xenos - Rathari)

Conflict Type: Long running Ork invasion. Imperial Guard response ineffective due to limited resources.

 

This is a pretty good idea I think. It might be good though to have a name (like Battle of Flynn / Assault on Flynn Magna / etc.), and a list of forces (Imperial or otherwise, and both sides). Then add each campaign or battle to the first post, to make it easier.

 

For those who have an artistic mind, it could also be a nice idea to create the relevant campaign markers (you know, the things that identify all imperial forces taking part in a campaign) ?

[Kelborn]

I got another one.

 

Segmentum: Obscurus

Sector: Nippon

System: Monsuta

Time Frame: 327.M39-354.M39. Noted as resolved 354.M

Sorry that my campaigns are within the Nippon sector but it helps me to flesh out the sectors and the Dark Knights history.

 

Segmentum: Obscurus

Sector: Nippon

System: Gakuju, Tanya-ba's moon Tetsu

Time Frame: 947.M41

Conflict Type: Awakening of a Necron tomb world led by Lord Setech of the Abydos Dynasty. Immediately response by Dark Knights chapter. Further reinforcements with experience in fighting Necrons were required.

System status unresolved.

that would mean ongoing updates by each original poster.

might it be enough for each author reusing an event to reference the system/timeframe(/conflict name is a cool idea if they're fighting together) in a new post with their summary company/regiment etc?

probably a link to the chapter timeline or a piece of writing so others writers have an easy reference to the context?

The thing is that several people might want to take part in the same campaign, but this information might be lost without the updates ?

 

In fact, I was even thinking of you updating the first post to put in the different campaigns that are possible.

i'd be happy enough to compile entries to a list/table as per example now in post 1.

suggestions for format/presentation more than welcome.

 

GENERAL/MODS: anyone have/know of an example of a working table in a post ??

[Arkangilos]

I've got a Draco Crusade going. It's mostly Imperial Guard, with a few chapters involved. (Basically the way most crusades in the Imperium Work). My Sanguinary Crusaders have a battle company involved, etc.

 

More info can be found in my Warriors of Cain thing, because they are the primary Antagonist and are the cause of it all. 

 

So if anyone wants to have their chapter involved with that, that's fine.

Try here.

thank you brother olis that helped a lot!!

tables are so temperamental on forums/wikis/etc

cheers

Segmentum: Obscurus

Sector: Nippon

System: Gakuju, Tanya-ba's moon Tetsu

Time Frame: 947.M41

Conflict Type: Awakening of a Necron tomb world led by Lord Setech of the Abydos Dynasty. Immediately response by Dark Knights chapter. Further reinforcements with experience in fighting Necrons were required.

System status unresolved.

 

Hey guys,

 

have to revise this. The names don't feel right. Therefore I worked on them. Here is the new and final version:

 

Segmentum: Obscurus

Sector: Nippon

System: Gakuju, Tanya-ba's moon, Tetsu

Time Frame: 947.M41

Conflict Type: Awakening of a Necron tomb world led by Lord Anub'Erak of the Setekh Dynasty. Immediately response by Dark Knights chapter. Further reinforcements with experience in fighting Necrons were required.

System status unresolved.

 

 

And yeah, I was inspired by Anub'arak from WoW but I did this for a reason.

As Anub'arak, Anub'Erak was forced to be a necron. He hates the silent king for this and searchs a way to kill him and extend his own power.

[paulJam]

added some links, revisions from kelborn, and crusade from arkangilos.

 

good start people.

[Arkangilos]

Oh, by the way it isn't the Warriors of Cain vs. the Primaris Legion Chapter. It's the Warriors of Cain vs. an entire crusade force of imperial guard, several space marine chapters, and the Draco loyalist remnants. The Primaris Legion is down to practically nothing by this point.

plenty of scope for other liberites to be part of the 'several space marine chapters' then (or imp guards if they so lean that way)
