+++ Praeteritis Historiam Belli +++

Recommended Posts

Belial stood stock still as he watched the aspirants training below. They were still new and sloppy compared to those serving under his command. But his thoughts were turned inward to the recent events over Fenris. With his armor being repaired, several fresh scars were visible on his exposed arms.


The quiet whirring of servos announced the arrival of a Chaplain overseeing the training of the Tenth Company. With helmet in hand and his hood pulled up, his identity was safe from the Aspirants. “A bitter campaign is being fought behind those eyes and you are not alone. Many of the Circle are also on a similar campaign.”

“How did we not see? How were we blinded to the enemy right in front of us? A Knight of
Titan and the leader of the Wolves were not swayed but so many of us were.”

“They had knowledge that we did not possess.”

“Then perhaps it is time to fill in the blanks. It is time to send out envoys to the Legio B&C.”

“It will be done.”

Possible Story Ideas

A narrative of a squad or individual’s performance in battle (from one of your games).

A story taking place in the time of Horus Heresy, possibly a link to the BL books.

Fleshing out a story in the History of your group

A story about one of the Heroes

The Shadow Guard’s simple steps to Fan Fiction:

Pick a model in your army, it doesn't have to be the commander nor your favourite model. It may be even a lowly neophyte or a veteran Sergeant.

Think of a game you played where this particular model did very well. Eg: A devastator lascannon marine who took out three tanks? A scout sniper who did the enemy commander in? A chaplain who led an amazing charge... you get the idea….

Write down how the battle took place building around the model in question.

Then go back and add some information about the early years and then follow up with the aftermath.

Keep reading it again and again and you will find that you can add additional details to flesh things out and voila!!

I have already dabbled with this last year with a Chronicle of Naaman that had then Veteran Naaman join the Deathwatch prior to the Ichar IV incident where his squad was one of several sent to tag and bag the initial Tyranid invasion of Behemoth. I never got to the battle part as I wanted him to be struck with the tale of Two-Heads talking and the Plains World Incident and being able to reflect on it, he was able to take charge of the squad and lead them to find the synapse creatures.
