Warp storms tend to increase the amount of Psykers in the population drastically via mutation.

I believe this shouldn't be forgotten.

I thought it was too much of a death world but no one else seemed to so it was left as is.

>>20245732
it's easy to make only parts of the planet be a death world

File: 1344501790294.jpg-(270 KB, 580x461, feelin comfy.jpg)

question. because i'm relatively newfag to the warhammer universe.

Are you guys creating your own original space marine chapter? Or does this already exist? I was just curious since that looks like what's going on.

and it kinda got me thinking of my own too

Make the jungle (which dominates most of the planet) deathworld material. Most civilization is clustered around seacoasts, in the hives. Hives can be enormous mountain cities thick with faevella's and ghettos and a south american flaire (people chewing local stimulant leaves, open air markets) whilst the Imperial nobles who are largely of foreign descent live in complete opulence above. The jungle is aggressive and all encroaching, teams with flame throwers have to patrol the walls burning off constantly growing creepers and vines in an ongoing battle to keep the jungle out and space cleared.

Once you step into the jungle, shit gets real.

>>20246053
Comprehensive fan made chapter.

I think Pyskers should be regarded as valued mystics, but be constantly held under suspicion because of their tenuous connection to the warp

>Chainsword Macahuitls
I don't 40k, but nice faction you guys have got here!

You fucking love psykers. Seriously. There's no reason not to, and it fits with the theme. And none of those lame "rune priest" or "blood priest" bullshit, either. Real, honest-to-Emperor PSYKERS. That other nonsense is why you have Chaplains.

What exactly about the Martyred Heart needs fleshing out?

>>20246036
to expand on that...

if the planet is earth size give it a more pronounced axial tilt so more land lies within the tropics and have the tropics and subtropics have the death world qualities while everything else is only moderately dangerous.

I suppose I can serve the Tenocit Xenobiology Guild as well as the Icelus one if need be since I did enjoy making up all the critters there.

>>20246077
I agree, but the chapter has had serious battles with Chaos in the past, and I feel like they might be a little suspicious of most pyskers.

Perhaps they hold all pyskers besides their own in disdain.

Meanwhile, we know that divination is a central part of their battle tactics

>>20246087
speaking of that, I can make you all a basic map that at does a quasi-halfway decent job of being geologically plausible if you want - provided you all aren't dead set on a monobiome.

Wow, this seems pretty cool.
Money Question: Are they loyal or chaos?

Psykers... should probably be used and valued, but considered somewhat dangerous. They make a necessary sacrifice to allow the warp into their souls.

Actually, I was thinking - with the Mesoamerican imagery, has the chapter had any contact with the Slaan?

>>20246111
They're loyal (as far as I know) but somewhat savage and to outsiders they may appear not but 3 steps away from heresy.

Basically, don't put the Ultramarines and the Blood Jaguars on a battlefield together and expect them to get along

Fortunately the BJags (because calling them BJ's makes me giggle like a 12 year old too much) have their own minor Sister of Battle order as allies to lend them fire support,

Speaking of the Martyred Heart, they arrived BEFORE the warp storm and were stranded on the planet for centuries, right?

Psykers are double edged sword, but Librarians have great power and will to resist corruption. Un-Sanctioned Psykers are dangerous, they attract attention of chaos like a worm on the hook. So I could see that they would see to rounding up as much unsanctioned psykers and perhaps putting them through the BJag initiation test.

Astropaths and Sanctioned Psykers are rare but valuable members of the hives. I see a fancination with Astronomy & The Stars, and who better tell what signs, than those that visited the Sun-Emperor?

I'll do a little fleshing out before my mind screams for sleep.

Anyone have those Sisterhood tables we cooked up a while ago? I could have sworn we had one...

Failing that, what do we KNOW about them. right now, all I've got is
>both boys and girls make the trip to try and become Jaguars, but the Sisters kidnap the girls and make them Sisters.

Hello, I am the GM of the Eye of /tg/ Campaign, and as part of my recruitment drive i am trying to get all custom /tg/ chapters into the Campaign, including the Blood Jaguars, though I doubt they will be fleshed out and ready in time.

I have a short piece of Writefaggotry on the thread, where I mention the Jaguars. What I'd like to know is what is their relationship with their fellow BA successors, like the Lamenters, Black Comets, Blood Drinkers ETC. are they good, cordial, bad?

Most psykers are sent to the Sun-Emperor as sacrifices.

>>20246283
I think the Abyssal Jaws are also BA successors too

>>20246053
It's a homebrew, nigga. And these feathery beakies even have an ongoing one-sided relationship with an ork homebrew.

Centzon was close. She could feel it and it wasn't even a lie. The air was vibrating, just like her mother had told her it would. As she snaked from behind the tree, she finally stopped relying on her gut and banked on her eyes.

The Temple was really there.

She ducked behind the tree and scampered up the branches, resting on a branch about 20 feet high. Seeing the Temple for the first time was like the first time she had heard a story from Totch. About the Warriors and how they fought the monsters in the night. How even "mitzcatl" and "huizpotl" were scared of the Jaguaral. Tall giants dressed in steel, wandering through the jungle in the dusklight and ensuring her village could sleep. She remembered the day Totch told her he was going to join them and that, in a few years, she could too. She still held the icon Totch had given her. A tiny jade orb, cut in the likeness of a blood drop.

Her anxiety finally bested her fears, and Centzon climbed down from the Nahuatl tree for the last time. She crouched low, into the grass, and gave another look about herself. She didn't want to remember why, but a part of her whispered it anyway.

The Blood Hearts abounded this area.

Girls much like herself would disappear whenever they were so close to the temple. The Jaguaral had made attempts to find it, but they never gave a straight answer. It was always "quetzgal poisoning" or "kidnapped by gangers". Sometimes, though, a girl returned. She would tell lurid tales of "banshees like knights", recalling the (admittedly, ridiculous) tales of warriors who were clad only in steel. And always with that symbol, a bleeding heart... They would draw it ceaselessly and then dissolve into the night. If the Blood Hearts got her... Centzon knew no one else would come for her.

>>20246495
She ran like the rabbit she was named for. Centzon Pinotl, the dawn commissar. With her four hundred rabbits, she cleared the path for T'otec himself against the demons. Centzon only had her two feet and no army of rabbits, but her drive alone was enough to carry her. She estimated the distance to the Temple. One minute... Three-Fourths... One Hal—

Centzon froze like Topogillo when facing the Cultist. But this was no story. Centzon ducked hard, and narrowly evaded the ghast that flew over her, arms wide to grapple her. The red armour gleamed and the figure rose. It was a Blood Heart.

Centzon ran with all her might now. She could make it in a matter of seconds now, right up the stairs to the Temple and into the sanctum. But her run was broken by another Heart, dropping before her like a shadow. Centzon turned, and was faced with a third Heart. The three specters began to close on her. Then, squeezing the icon one last time, Centzon did the unthinkable: She drew the blade stolen from her mother. Jetglass, sharp enough that not even a sleeping tepetongo would feel it. She drew it and picked her mark: the plates around the ribs of that first Heart, the one that broke her dream.

Centzon screamed. She rushed at the Heart, who stood there for half a second too long. the jetglass pierced through the wind, finding the plate's edge— and broke. Centzon gasped, more for air than in shock. She retreated quickly, then dodged another grapple from behind her. She gave another scream and tackled the Heart. This time, the knight was ready, rushing forward to meet the young girl. Centzon allowed herself a smile— the simply stepped to the left.

The Heart crashed into her opposite, leaving two disoritented Hearts in the dust behind Centzon. Picking her run back up, the girl made a final lurch towards the steps of the Temple. Maybe... if she made it that far... the Emper—

>>20246508
Something hit the back of her ankle, and tangled her feet together like a hog. Centzon fell to the ground, and the third Heart stood above her. Centzon blanched in horror. She had, for all intents and purposes, lost. As the Heart leaned forward to pick up her prey, Centzon did the only thing she could.

A final scream echoed through the jungle, and the sickening sound of a fist smashing against ceramite was heard.

---

"Ordinarily, I would just leave her." quipped the Sister, more to see what her companions replied as the young girl demolished her fists on the Noviates helm.

"I want to. I dislike cleaning this helmet." the Noviate returned. "Permission to dose her?"

"No." replied the oldest of the three. "I like this one. She has..."

"What?" the Noviate asked, struggling to contain the now blood-soaked girl.

"...She has a heart worthy of sacrifice. And we can provide that."

The now four Sisters of the Martyred Heart dissolved into the jungle.

>>20246512
>>20246508
>>20246495
Thoughts? Sorry if its terribad, it's rather late down here.

If it's good, well thanks, and I'd be happy to continue the story of Sister Centzon... eventually.

>>20246111
Loyalists in a very unique, personal way.
Chaos is something we disdain because it's corrupting and we've experienced the price of Impurity ourselves.

The Codex Astartes is… well, "we use it as toilet paper" would be a good description.
>>20245748

IIRC that's true, and since it's a hiveworld and hasn't been culled for 200 years of our time (2000 for the rest of the galaxy) , the psyker rate among the general population is stupidly high.
>>20246071

>>20246087

>>20246594
Why would they? I mean the Jag's COULD be savage like that if you wanted but it seems the creators want a SM chapter thats very much in touch with how technologically advanced it is in comparison to the rest of it's world - they're smart fucks.

>Space Marines with macuahuitls
I came so hard.

>>20246518
I like it, though the idea of the 'Blood Hearts' being mysterious bogeymen impeded with the idea of them being the 'investigators' in the more civilized hive.

Then again it's very possible this girl was from a village, not a hive, or even then a low level

>>20246616
Don't forget, those things are folded over a thousand times by master Aztec swordsmiths.

>>20246617
In the wiki page, at some point, it was said that they get new recruits by kidnapping wannabe fem-marines, and that this was a closely kept secret. But yeah, I suppose you're right. If I pick it up again, I'll explore that angle a bit more. Might be cool....

And yeah, the girl is from a small village, one of the ones that collects the pollution-fungus.

>>20246742
Blame it on the warpstorm. The jungle could have run rampant and grown wildly during the storm, overtaking cleared grasslands and surrounding the base of the ziggurats. At the same time, eartquakes and tidal shifts could have made coastal hives sink into swamps and are left skewed and half submerged.

>>20246750
We should be able to eclipse the sun and have night fighting rules for a turn.

What was the stance on Emp's (lack of?) divinity again?


>>20246797
Heh, that's what I thought of as well.
The Long Night is pretty central to not only chapter identity, but to the whole culture/sense of life of their homeworld as well.

A sufficiently experienced Mystic will probably be initiated into making the enemy feel the Emperor's Displeasure.

File: 1344511595941.jpg-(82 KB, 783x599, Bioreaktor_quer2.jpg)

>>20246742
I would bet that these hives are the more ecologically friendly versions so that the vast expanses jungle around them are instantly snuffed out by tons and tons of pollution

to this end, I would venture are guess that most of the hives are deciated toward hydroponics and similar agricultural pursuits. For example, they cultivate vast quantities of algae, moss, and other such plant matter that can be shipped off as food or fuel. Additionally, specific strains of tissue can be easily raised in bioreactors for whatever purpose the AdMech wants and the worlds diverse amount of flora would likely see a LOT of medicines being produced.

Of course this is all if you want a way for the hives to not be giant toxic masses of metal and concrete. If that's what is desired than go for it, but I think it would be an interesting change of pace if they were more "green". Of course everything growing in there is likely dangerous enough to make its population as bad off as the other hives.

Why are they called Blood Jaguars though?

Blood is way too high-traffic for the Chapter, for a full-on 'let's create something cool here' it just seems like a really lazy name.

How about Feathered Serpents?
Just an idea, you're probably in too deep to change the (frankly awful) name now.

>>20246978
>fail to see what's wrong.

Yeah, okay. You're silly.

>>20246973
that suggestion is quite a step back

and if anything, i'd like to see "blood jaguars" translated in to Nahuatl

Kinda reminds me of what people did with the Rainbow Warriors way back when, still maybe you'll get further through than blood sacrifices and chain macathuls.

>>20246941
They fluffed a plant who's roots eat heavy metals to justify the pollution not killing everything, my question was more about why the popualtion wouldn't expand horizontally with all that unused land instead of going straight up and down as a hive.

>>20246973
Blood Jaguars was taken from a roll. It's a bit generic but I'm not sure much else would fit.

>>20247061
honestly, a plant that metabolizes heavy metal is just going to result in planets that will grow on the exterior of the hive. It'll still die to all the other chemicals in the water and air.

If you want polluted as fuck hives, then you can wing it if you please, but if you want it to be plausible without having to lean back to fiat and 'lol the warp did it' then I would strongly suggest "green" hives. Also if my suggestion is used, most of its waste is going to be stupidly rich in fertilizer which will make the surrounding jungle even denser.

And as for the second part... well that depends on a large number of things. Chances are there would be countless small villages strewn across the countryside, but if there's particularly dangerous flora and fauna it will be difficult for expansion and doing more than provided subsistence levels of agriculture.

I suggest all their Scout Marines be Beakies with an eagle motiff. Thoughts?

>>20247061
Hive construction techniques are easier and cheaper than many other options on a deathworld.

ie the more spread you have the more space you need to keep clear and the more patrols, weapon emplacements and defenses you need. It also increases transport requirements since instead of going up and down with cargo elevators you need to go however far this way or that.

Also hives are already massive, most of them would take up the same amount or more space than a major American city but they go up into the sky for a few kilometers

>>20247100
Part of handling that is the constant burn teams keeping plants back, like some other planets with vigorous plant growth that are in the imperium

Also it is a fungus that grows on the trees instead of a stand alone plant, it needs the trees to live on and absorb the pollutants from just as the trees require the fungus to absorb it from them

>>20247187
Ah, so it's THAT kind of ecosystem. And here I was thinking that this would be just another generic death jungle. Excellent.

>>20246973
>>20246973
Because Tzeentch.

>>20247203
We don't do anything generic for the jags.
That's why we went full on Aztec after all

If we haven't already added it I think part of the planets export should be drugs and rare plants. We know the Aztecs ate coca leaves for energy and we have a hell of a planet so maybe some of the poisonous plants can be refined for medicinal purposes

A Blood Jaguar thread? And here I thought /tg/ had abandoned them.

What in particular needs work, fluff-wise?

>>20247300

How about they don't have a "prestomach depoisoning thing" gene, due to them eating all sorts of half-poisonous/toxic plants that boost their reflexes and shit?

Also, they evolved on a planet on which 95% of plants can devour you from inside (exaggeration), so their stomachs should be ridiculously strong anyway.

>>20247459
They have it but it is tasked to capacity because they regularly take the unrefined products of these plants to increase their skills.

Humans need to take vastly refined versions because it would just destroy their insides for a short term boost

>>20247354
The sisters, their traditions and armaments.
>>20246077
Well, we're pretty small, so heavy Psyker support is probably always welcome.

Quick recap: Aztec Marines that hate Orks and Chaos. Also sacrifice enemies to the Emperor, and are Blood Angels through the Flesh Tearers.

File: 1344530213369.jpg-(42 KB, 346x527, Jaguars.jpg)

Are these guys related to this here canon IG regiment?

>>20249263
No.

So, this is my few cents on the Blood Jaguars:
They practice human and xeno sacrifice in the name of the Emperor, who is SYMBOLIZED by the sun, which they picked up during their 2000 year long isolation. The sun is a symbol and nothing else, but they honour what it symbolizes by performing sacrifices when it is at its highest. They have the Red Thirst, so they sometimes drink the blood of their sacrifices (mostly from human sacrifices?) and sometimes they also eat their flesh.

They suffer from the Black Rage, but instead of giving into it like the Flesh Tearers, they practice deep spiritualism to achieve extreme focus and concentration. They try to find their "optimal anger" where they are most comfortable, to harness as much strength and ferocity as possible without coming too close to snapping entirely.

They have a VERY low Chaos turnout. Falling to Slaneesh is practically unheard of, except in a few cases where some freaks became ridiculously addicted to blood sacrifice and ingestion. Nurgle also doesn't happen, statistically speaking, because even those who fall tend to embrace life and diversity. Khorne happens, but less often than one might think, as their practices don't really leave Khorne with much to offer - if they give into the Black Rage there's the Death Company, after all. Tzeentch happens, but not as aften as Khorne, due to the nature of the Chapter Librarians.

Would asking /sci/ for geographic/flora/fauna help be a good idea? I don't like it when things like that make no actual sense, to say the least.

Also, I like the idea of the hives going green. They don't cause too much polution and what they do make is mitigated by Mortem Sacco.
To the guy asking about that: Mortem Sacco doesn't actually actively need the chemicals, it just filters and stores them as part of it's normal cycle.

>>20249162
I know THAT, I meant what's new in this thread?
>>20249293
Xipet is the one hailed for leading them onto a more individualistic and spiritual path, although others had just as much to do with the actual reforms as he did. He, however, was the first Blood Jaguar warrior to pursue it whole-heartedly, and after he fought a Daemon Prince of Khorne/Malal (I would prefer Khorne, adhering to the dice of a spin-off project that never took off and that creates consistency problems with its father project is just silly), having led it away from the main force of Jaguars, whom he corrupted by making them fly into the Black Rage. Xipet fought and defeated it without falling to it, which was a testament to his spiritual strength and conviction.

>>20249292

Way to shut off all the discussion. You'd think you guys would appreciate a planet of canon Aztec-styled Imperials, and incorporate it into your fluff, but it's just "no". Oh well. Fucking tripfags.

The training and trials that Aspirants and Neophytes go through may seem brutal and suicidal, but the truth is that it has a well-scaling difficulty curve with months and years of preparation to ensure that anyone who attempts the next step has all the necessary skills to pass. Failing isn't seen as a problem and one can try as many times as they like unless they show themselves particularly unsuited for advancement. The Jaguars believe in training and honing your mind, body and spirit rather than picking those who seem to have the making for becoming the elite of the elite, as the constant struggle of the jungle has shown to them that the seemingly most unremarkable creature or individual may hide the greatest potential.

>>20249402
We can have the Space Wolves and Valhallans in the same universe without having to be from the same planet.

>>20249402
It's more because SM worlds don't get IG drafts. And on top of that, we already have SoB amazons. I think we're aztec enough already.

I'll change it back to Khorne if that's what enough people want.

>>20249402
He never said they couldn't work together or be franz, just that they're not from the same planet. Seeing as they've made up their very own planet, it makes a lot of sense for him to say no to such a black and white question like that.

I'm really liking the black and white in the jungle and faith vs unfaith that Malal gives us. Along with the 'Faithless Heart' ritual.
Seems Malal has very few followers and they mainly only go after chaos, though.
Khorne was only originally said because we started as RIP AND TEAR Aztec Marines, which we really no longer are. Now we're the Faithful Aztec Marines.

Can somebody create a agreed upon list of the current cannon for the Blood Jaguars?

A lot of this material is contradictory and confusing at the moment.

>>20249421
Orks are their most common enemy in terms of military threat, as their planet has a substantial ork population, which is thankfully held in check by the native flora and wildlife as much as it is by the Blood Jaguars. The orks close enough to the Hives are often quite feral given the difficulty of obtaining proper loot or even raw minerals, and also act as something of a buffer against the more organized and tech-savvy orks from more remote areas of mountains and hills, where the jungle is less dense and mineral deposits more plentiful. These pockets of orkiness, removed from one another as they are, often fight amongst themselves, and many barely know about the humans on the planet, due to the vast distances and the hard to traverse (not to mention map and navigate) terrain. The Blood Jaguars have plenty of smaller groups of scouts keeping an eye on the larger clans, and make sure to assassinate any Warbosses before they become a real threat.

Chaos is opposed with great fervour, perhaps more so than with the average Space Marine Chapter, due to the long warp storm, the almost-killing of Xipet, and due to their branch of spirituality that embraces the balancing of life and death, which Chaos seeks to tip towards ruin (excessive death).

>>20249527

We're still rip and tear in combat and in sacrifice, we just try to balance it so we don't go over the edge. We're still balancing it constantly. And there still are no Daemons of Malal. I personally prefer fitting fluff with existing fluff rather than making it up to fit a single part of homebrew, even if it sounds like a very good piece of homebrew. And why is it so much worse to test their focus and willpower through the Black Rage as opposed to general faith?

>And why is it so much worse to test their focus and willpower through the Black as opposed to general faith?
Are you refering to the 'Faithless Heart' trial? If so: Once again, I just like it.
Also, Malal really doesn't HAVE any fluff to his name. Just a little early on in the games history and what might be references to him recently.

>>20249590

In regards to organization have we considered making a reference to the Aztec ranks?

Neophytes: Eagle warriors. focused on fast and focused attacks

Battle Brothers: Jaguar Warriors. Focusing on up front assaults

Elites: Shorn ones - Higher ranking warriors having taken oaths to never take a step back in battle

Death squad: The Otomies. In Aztec culture they were a distinct tribe from the Aztecs known for their ferocity in war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otomi_%28military%29

What do you think?

>>20249719
As D said in an earlier thread: Unless it has a reason, don't shove stuff in there just for historical reference.

Quick! I need a good BJag name for writefaggotry!

>>20249737

fair nuff

>>20249719
I think I want to slap you for trying to rip right from the Aztecs AGAIN. Especially once more trying to put in the Shorn Ones.
I'm not saying you're the same guy who was doing it before, though.
I don't think we have taken any actually NOTABLE termanology from them. If we have, someone please tell me what. (Aztec sounding names don't count)

>>20249719
Why not? I imagine the Shorn Ones need to refill their ranks more often, but in a way the Death Company, with their Rage, perform the same role.

>>20249767
And "Jaguars". Why not just call the Neophytes "Eagles"? Seems to fit their role, as they're naturally not expected to fulfill the exact same role as a full Jaguar. That just wouldn't be strategically or tactically sound.
>>20249780
Let's just forget the Shorn Ones then, since we have the Death Company.

>>20249739
Otep? I really don't know any Aztec names.

>>20249739
By BJag name do you mean a character name or a pen name?

>>20249739
http://www.peiraeuspubliclibrary.com/names/medievalnames/aztec.html
Here's a few names.

>>20249818
Character name. No RP nonsense from this guy!
>>20249826
Much obliged.

>>20250018
>RP nonsense
I didn't think that was your plan.
Pen name is a name you publish stuff under.
Our drawfags pen name is Marauder, for example.

I have no idea about Aztec names and I'm obsessive about name meaning anyways, so I'm no good to ask.

>>20250155
Ah. No, I prefer the comforting busom of anonymity for now. Anyways, have a writefaggotry I'm sure you'll all love.

I've been reading these thread lately and I felt like posting this. Of course this was made before the Blood Jaguars were created. I think I have one more Aztec/40k art somewhere in my computer

>>20250254
Aww, you're too kind, especially since I just murdered one of your sergeants.

>>20250396
Which really isn't anything to get mad about.

>>20250234
I like it quite a bit.
Especially the switching between groups.
Also the fact that it mentions neither are bound to a specific planet.
LoL literally infernal titan.
I'm also a Scraploota, though.

>>20250234

Can there please be a fanfic where the Scraplootaz lose for a change?

>>20250464
No, because that always ends with Boris getting destroyed so far.
If you can write one that doesn't destroy one of the Scraplootas focal points, please do.

>>20250464
Scraplootas never lose, they just run away so they can win later!

I'll see what I can do. The problem is they're just too fun to write for that I never want to see the little guys lose. That and one concrete and utter loss is all it would take to wipe out the Scraplootas for good.

>>20250498

So one buttmad retard wrote a story in which your titan gets destroyed and now they have to win everything forever? It would be easy to write a scenario where they lose and the titan is still around. Like, the story you just wrote, maybe they shot the sergeant but they still got their ass whooped by the marines and had to retreat. Presto, a loss. I'm not going to write anything for them, because tbh the stories so far have a sort of psychotic mood to them where people keep dying bloodily and Blue and the rest just treat it as a big joke. I know that's how Orks are supposed to be, but somehow Blue brings out the creepy side of it to me.

Anyway, I prefer the Jaguars and would have liked them to not be linked with the Scraplootaz at all, but since I'm just one guy, I don't mind my opinion being disregarded.

>>20250456
I appreciate the feedback. And yeah, the Scraplootas get around. That's their whole deal. I imagine the BJags flit about every which way hunting down greenskins, too.
>>20250555
>So one buttmad retard wrote a story in which your titan gets destroyed and now they have to win everything forever?
Dude, chill the fuck out, seriously. I said I'd look into it. Shit, that's the first time we've even really seen them fight all that much. Them fighting the tau was more about Blue's trials and the aftereffects of that fight and the Snekkit thing was just plain silliness. Silliness directed at other nameless orks, to boot.
>because tbh the stories so far have a sort of psychotic mood to them where people keep dying bloodily and Blue and the rest just treat it as a big joke.
Welcome to orks, enjoy your stay. Orks are inherently gallows humor where every brutal, gory kill is just a zoggin good time to them. As for Blue, yeah it's kinda unsettling, but to me, that's what makes it so funny. Here's a little girl being raised by serial killers and - holy fucking shit - she actually fits in with them like a goddamn glove.

Like I said, I'll try to cook something up, but I just write as inspiration hits me.

>>20250555
It's not "win everything forever", it's what >>20250501 said.
Scraplootas have about 150 total orks. A big battle that they lose could easily obliterate them.
Also, named characters out the ass.

Well during Earth's highest oxygen rates we had huge insects, huge dinosaurs, huge is the key word. With the temperature being tropical this favors reptiles, and insects.

Does the planet have bodies of water? Are the caps melted and nothing but jungle or water? During the Dinosaurs Anartica was way up from it's current location. It slowly was pushed via plate tetonics to it's current location. As the planet got colder it froze. Before that there was no ice caps and the ocean was much higher. Most of NA at one point or another was a shallow sea.

Now I personally like flying feathered serpents. It could've evolved to glide from tree to tree in search of prey. It should probably be about 10' long with 30' wingspan. The habitat should mostly be in the canopies.

>>20250846
We were thinking giant felinids and Terror birds as well. Not sure about water bodies. Not sure about ice caps.

>>20250846
We have a highly earthlike planet that has multiple biomes. We decided that early this thread.
I have no idea how everyone wants to do our planets geological history. Would you mind making a randomized history for us?
If you know your shit about geological history.

>>20250933
Geo history is un-needed. Unless there's been active geological surveys. I assume that plate tectonics works the same way.

This would mean volcanoes, mountains, & deserts. So if it's like Earth perhaps the only "hospitable" region was the jungle continent. We could make the jungle continent stratal the equatorial line. This would ensure plant growth way it is.

Huge bodies of water would be good to keep the planet warm and wet. With the warm air and water hurricanes are probably normal, and truly dangerous ones are Hypercaines. Perhaps that's why they built the hives in the Jungle. Protection against the Hypercaines that sweep across the other continents.

>>20251088
I just like to have things make sense and not have to think 'is that really how geophysics would make it?'
In other words, I'm one for high realism where it can be put. As long as the realism fits the setting.

I believe there was discussion about an increased tilt compared to earth to increase the tropical zone. Would that work? And what other effects would it have?

>>20251299
Well how the axil tilt determines where the star's heat strikes, and bunch of other stuff. Also which type star we going for? G1 star is like ours. However each star has different habitual zones, also how fast the planet goes around said star could affect things.

Let's just say that it's like the Earth, but it's current state is like our Trassic period. So it's gonna be wet, and hot.

Outside the hives lung-rot would be a very real problem. Unless the colonist were genetically modified, which they would've if they arrives during Dark Age of Man.

>>20251454
>and bunch of other stuff
It's amazing how perfect the earth is situated for a well balanced yet interesting world.

Yes, I do believe we're going with a precolonized world.
Would our little Mortem Sacco still be able to work how we want it to with your ideas?

tg really is the only board I need.

Taking a break cause of fingers and food. Here's what i've got so far. Couldn't decide on a single pose so I used all of them. A little out of character, but makes for a nice composition.

Thoughts of colors? The green kind of blends in with the jungle, which in theory is good for stealth, but visually bland. The standard Death Company colors are black er'where, which is another kind of bland.

>>20251645
I think... I think that you are awesome and that you should feel awesome.

Okay, Magos. How many things do you maintain? I see the servants thread, and I know you stay here and also lurk the scraplootas threads.

>>20251645
>I couldn't decide on a pose
Okay...
>So I used all of them
Have we told you how much we love and respect you?
And very nice, though I agree that it looks like a massive wash of bland green.
But we haven't finalized any color choices yet! We should get around to that some time.

>>20251645
Looks nice. Can you swap the green with black so we can get a classic Death Company look for comparison?

>>20251645
You rock. Colors look great i like the green but i also really agree with >>20245732

I think both should be used

>>20251977
That's the Death Company (hence the red crosses on pads), their armour is always a different colour.

File: 1344546061176.png-(1.37 MB, 1399x1118, wrong jungle, motherfucke(...).png)

>>20251767
It's not awful but I think an alternative scheme would be better.

>>20251672
>>20251750
>>20251977
Thank you gentlemen.

>>20252022
Damn, they both look awesome.
And that's a good problem to have.

Welp, after a long night's rest, I'm back.

What should I write about. Mind you, it'll take a while. I'd really like to write about the sisters again, so anything specific about them that needs fleshing out?

>>20252022
I like them both so much...
It's hard to choose.

>>20252118
A lot needs to be fleshed out about them.
Mind try writing up something like a few days worth of logs of normal patrolling and interactions with BJags and the public?
Would probably be great fuel for working on them.

>>20251645
Do orange. It looks better and gives them class.

>>20252226
You got it chief.

>>20252022
I think the green looks better myself. Especially with the red, gold, and blue bits.
Though weren't the red hands a Chaplain only thing?

>>20251645
>>20252022
I prefer the green and gold, actually; the black and gold just puts me in mind of the Black Legion, sorry.

>>20251540
Anything can work really. How many continents are there? How big would the main continent which the BJags and the hives are? I wouldn't mind having it as big as said Australia.

>>20252471
Green and gold is Alpha Legion.

Why not Red & Green?

>>20252518
An important thing to remember is that BJags and our sororitas are apparently centered on opposite sides of the planet (which I don't like, due to not being conducive to a working relationship) with the sisters base on an island in the middle of a mammoth sized river (which I don't like because it sounds hard to get off)
I'm not the only one with a say in the geography though, I don't think.

>>20252683
Almost done with the writefaggotry. I'll flesh out some geography later if you like.

Though come to think of it, the Salamanders are gold-green as well.

>>20251645
Teenage mutant turtle muhreens?

>>20252747
It would be nice.
Especially if someone made a map with our current world layout ideas and changed it as we went along.
This is basically why people made maps.

Orange and green is good i dont think anyone else uses it

The soft grass below Centzon's feet yielded to her boot, and silently accepted her steps. She privately thanked the Sun-Emperor for that— in a forested jungle or a dusty chaparral, such an unsung approach would be nigh-impossible and the mission would probably not be as flawless as Centzon predicted it would be. Here in the plains area, however, sneaking about could still be done. As the Hummingbird glided away, she got low and began to creep up the gentle hill, so as to make eyes with her target.

Less than a minute away was the homestead. She could see, about 3 minutes from that, the transport carrying her sisters. She clicked the button on her collar and intoned gently into the receiver. "Have you made contact yet?" she asked her companions in the main transport. Her accented voice contrasted with her superiors smooth low gothic.

"We're about to. Wait four, then approach."

Centzon paced a round for a second, then got back down. She could see, just barely in the dusklight, the Sisters climbing out of the truck and going up to the front door of the homestead. Only one person answered, a middleaged man. She could have imagined the conversation, if the radio hadn't provided it for her.

"Seiur Quihuix Tecapet?" the Sister Superior asked. Centzon had to strain to hear the reply.

"Yes... to what do I owe the pleasur—"

>>20253064
Centzon cut the feed as she saw Tecapet leave the homestead and walk out to the transport. She started a brink run towards the homestead's back exit. The excuse was simple: the Sisters had heard reports of immunological infections in the region and they were investigating allegations of bioterrorism. They needed a bloodtest from everyone in the area to properly map out the infection's vectors. Personally, Centzon couldn't have cared if the story had been the search for a lost puppy; as long as it kept Tecapet long enough to sneak in and do a search, Centzon would be happy.

She finally hit the back of the homestead and flattened herself against the wall. She strafed over to the door and gently tried the knob. The Sun-Emperor was with her. It slid open, and Centzon twisted herself through the crack.

Once inside, she looked around, her eyes searching for a tell-tale clue of heresy. She found... nothing. A few torillas. A stove. Some tea. She realized she was in the kitchen, so she moved into an adjacent room. A bedroom, one bed and a television on the nightstand. Sparse, but that was the life of a trader. And then she figured it out: the storage room. A trader needed a place to keep his mechants entertained, and his wares safe. The large garage on the other side of the compund fit the bill like a sunbeam in Xotchil's at-las.

>>20253094
As she walked to the other side of the homestead, switching the radio back on as she did. She heard only one line.

"With the highest respect, Sister, I don't have time tonight. I'll be happy to come down next week, but I have to pack for a trip into Cenote tonight."

"Very well. If you could just take a few minutes to sign these forms—" Centzon cut the feed again. She had a minute, two at most. As she glaced around the strage chamber, her heart fell. She couldn't find anything suspicious, just boxes and a few couches...

But on a shelf lay something odd. A wood round, cut from a tree branch. It looked like Nahuatl wood... but what caught Centzon's eye was the pattern of the rings. It looked strange... disorienting... like a face... Looking straight down....

Centzon followed its gaze and found, at long last, her mark. A simple grate, probably for air conditioning. Probably. She lifted it and found a ladder going straight down. Lowering herself into the pit, she gave a short whistle to see how long the echo took to return to her. If she hadn't been so focused, another story, probably involving Chirok the dire bat, would have come to mind. Once she was sure she would survive the fall, Centzon let go, falling through the air and into the shaft.

>>20253099
She hit the bottom with a hard clunk and landed in a small room. Landing on her knee, what she saw was already enough to radio back to the transport.

"Found something. Hold Tecapet until I get back."

Centzon cut the line again. She appraoched that which had made her heart worry. An entire wall was covered in newsprint cuttings. Reports of disease sweeping the region. Biological surveys into the nature of the disease. Mechanicum papers on... transmission vectors.

And an order for several pounds of universal anti-bodies. Which lay right at Centzon's feet.

"Superior. He was planning to taint an order of antibodi—" Centzon just barely managed to duck as a heavy bat swung through the air and nearly connected with her head. She twisted as she crouched, and met her foe as the bat dropped and a knife was drawn.

A thin, almost skeletally so woman stood before her. She was naked and the only thing covering her was facepaint in a cruel mockery of the human skull. She held a jetglass blade in her hand. Centzon couldn't help but chuckle as she drew her own. The two women circled each other, waiting for one to make an error. Centzon noticed a small alter behind her and had an idea. She began to back up towards it, taking great care to look afraid. The other woman grimaced and began to close distance. Finally, Centzon backed into a bowl... and fell as she lost all footing.

The cultist lunged, seeking to capitalize on the moment of failure. Centzon smiled back and simply rolled over. She was already on her feet by the time the cultist realized what had happened. A swift kick to the ass of the woman was enough to knock her prone. Centzon knelled over her and pulled her head back. She would've liked to just put her out now... but she radioed command instead.

"Superior. I have fresh blood for the Sun."

>>20253104
>>20253094
>>20253064
>>20253099

Bam. Thoughts on this?

If did like writing the Sisters like they were almost like Predators, running around doing covert shit and wrecking cultist shit. But I did think that they should have a more "professional" face too. So why not both? I'll probably write something like the opposite of that sometime. Sisters doing political work, actually just a front for real military operations. Maybe another one involving that girl who actually escaped...

What kind o shit belongs on the world itself? I mentioned the jungles, the plains and "dusty chaparral". Should I cover these and some of the flora/fauna?

Humour me: What's the rationalization for why the saw's teeth and chains don't jam, break off, or get caught on stuff?

Question, how effective are psykers against Daemon Princes? Wait, who's the Big Boss Psyker of the Jaguars and what's his title?

>>20253153
Rule of cool.

>>20253149
Great story. I'm thinking instead of the 'virus vectors' just being a cover, they were actually doing so, but also taking advantage of it.

I wish I could help, but I can't actually plot out the world worth shit.
I can come up with ideas if given the right primer, though.

>>20252683
Can that be retconned to be they're on an island that's just off the coast of the main continent, "Azlán" (placement holder).

>>20253218
By all means, provide them.

In the mean time, I have a few stories I want to tell... which of these actually deserve to be told?

Geography Lesson (Probably the quickest)
Mandatory Lesbian Sister Story
Political Stuff, then Phyrexians Show Up
Something Emotional
Meeting the Imperials (probably what will take the longest)

>Mandatory Lesbian Sister Story
I like that you acknowledge this upfront. Hell, even the most touching Sister involved light lesbianism. Sure, it was slanneshi induced and punished thoroughly, but it was Sister lesbianism all the same.
Do I smell another person who wants to molest Blue?
That was just a joke, please don't get angry.

>>20253506
Geography lesson, since that's what we're talking about.

Primer = starting idea
Like what I did with the toxin pods, then the shroomnades.
It's building on ideas.

>>20253506
>Meeting the Imperials
Aren't they Imperials? Or is this some kind of prequel?

>>20253613
Maybe he meant post warp storm reintegration?

>>20253554
Oh man, hahaha...

I was planning on Khornate lesbian. Literally "I want to fuck you to death". My designated main character doesn't strike me as Slaaneshi.

>>20253556
Coming right up.

I mintioned a bunch of animals and plants in the first story, and I'm sure a few of those could be used for something. Maybe the story of Commissar Pinotl or who Xotchil is.

That's a big part of the reason I keep alluding to these stories, heh. Plot hooks on a stick.

>>20253628
>My designated main character doesn't strike me as Slaaneshi.
Oh no, I'd definitely peglol the Martyred Hearts as Khornate scissorfiends, I was just noting that no matter how serious of a tale you weave of the SoBs, musclegirl lesbianism is never too far off.
I just want to see a SoB get all lezzy with a guardswoman for once so there's tall amazonian musclegirl on average sized musclegirl action, because that shit's hot.

Heello. Their Chief Librarian, what's his name? And he was the Chief at the time of Xipet, wasn't he? Old as fuck, if I remember correctly.

>>20253685
Nah. We're not too sure of the name of our Head Libby. Him being alive at the time of Xipet's battle would be possible though, considering that the Blood Jaguars have the Blood Angels as a Primogenator though.

>>20253685
Our esclusiarc(whatever that is) is the one that's a fossil.
Seriously, no matter how long the warpstorm was, he was alive before it started.

>>20253679
Everything you said was gold, and I will make it possible.

>>20253725
Well, it's not really important if it's the same or not. Is it okay if I come up with the Head Librarian of Xipet's time, who's now also dead? Came up with what I think is a sweet idea.

>>20253750
Make the guardswoman from a wintery planet. Pale, slender Aryan girl on big brown musclewaifu is best pairing.

>>20253761
In addition to this, is it okay if I come up with a possible other way that Xipet's reforms went through?

>>20253761
Go right ahead.

>>20253783
Hnnnnng....

Someone draw this now.

The rain pelted the hummingbird, soaking everyone inside as it came through the open port. Centzon stared wistfully outside, as the entire landscape roiled and danced in the storm.

She failed. The only thing she needed to do was run hard, towards the Temple. Then, she could be a hero. One of the Jaguars. Maybe she'd even find—

"Centzona Maztlal!" the tallest of the three Heart screamed at her, not out of anger, but just to overcome the sound of the storm. "Are you paying attention?"

"My hands hurt!" Centzon yelled back. It took all her willpower not to correct the Heart on her name. The Heart next to Centzon chuckled. "You mean the bits that are still on your wrists and not smeared on my armour?"

Centzon blushed and looked at the bloody things resting on her lap.

"Were you paying attention, Centzona?" the Heart repeated herself.

"Yes..." Centzon answered after a few seconds.

"Then where are we right now?"

>>20254218
"We are..." Centzon looked outside. "Over the Quauitl Jungles. Approximately 4 hours from..."

"Where we found you." the Heart finished for her. "How do you know?"

"Ummm.... those spires! They have the SothCom logo at the top, and that means that they're harvesting Soth Lichen, which only grows in Quauitl." Centzon smiled sheepishly, then gasped as another bolt of pain shot through her.

The Heart noticed this and asked another question. "What's beyond the jungle?"

Centzon strained to think again. "Ummm.... Riparian forests... Some mountains.... Then there's a desert on the other side, right?"

"Very good. What desert is it?" the Heart asked as the hummingbird gave a lurch to the left.

"Ummm... The Rainsha— I mean... Quiautlitz Desert. There are two main hives there, and they focus on the harvesting of obsidian for jetglass and electronics." Centzon responded in one breath.

>>20254134
...Because they aren't. They're more BLOOD FOR THE SUN EMPEROR, and not JAGUAR THE JAGUAR JAGUARS that the Space Wolves are.

>>20254230
"Excellent. Final question... What is directly a head of us?"

Centzon was frozen in thought. She had no idea.

"Ummm.... Well, there's a river... same as the Ripar..." She had no idea what the response could be. It was important... There was another mountain... Her mind was tricking her... there wasn't a mountain it was a volcano... and not a river... everything was dark... so much blood... she failed and was failing still...

Her eyes were shut and her mind was blank. She had failed once and now she had failed for good. Her eyes flitted open one last time, and she saw it. The river delta. A wide flood plain where the Riparian river system flowed into the ocean. and a lone island in the center of the flood plain, with the top spewing smoke and flame.

She pushed forward, both literally and spiritually. "Directly ahead is Popocatepetl, the Fire Hive, which is a volcano in the center of the Goyo River Delta. It serves as the base of the Martyred Hearts Sisters of Battle." Despite the bandages, Centzon had just clenched her fist.

"Excellent. Prep a medical bay. We have a Sister in need of attention."

Thoughts? Any decent primers there?

>>20253971
I don't mind one pit. I'm a frequenter of /u/.

Okay, for the writefaggotry I have in mind, I would like to propose some ideas and personas. It should be noted that the names aren't final, I just grabbed them to have something to call them.

Epistolary Ocelotl – Second-in-command of the Librarians and blood brother of Xipet. He held great influence over Xipet's spiritual ideas, and they formed the new ways together as equals. A humble man, of great spirituality and faith, who admires Xipet. Quiet but very enthusiastic regarding his beliefs.

Chapter Master Xipet T'otec – Chapter Master, trying to pass extensive spiritual reforms. Stubborn to a fault, he is never the less the greatest warrior the Blood Jaguars have ever seen and his strategical reforms enabled the Chapter to stand against and push back the Cultists.

Head Librarian Icpalli – Current Head Librarian who opposes Xipet's reforms. A great warrior in his own right and deeply spiritual, he relentlessly holds onto the old ways of the Chapter, perhaps rightfully fearing that reforms in the middle of these chaotic times would create confusion and allow Chaos the opening it needed. A good man who never showed Ocelotl any resentment despite of his collaboration with Xipet.

This is supposed to be around the time of the last great battle of against the Cultists, when Xipet defeated C'rtez. This also may or may not be the commonly known view on these persons as held by all but the innermost circle of Librarians of today.

I would like to point out that Icpalli only opposes the SPIRITUAL reforms, not the other ones. He gives Xipet all the respect he deserves for his wartime accomplishment,

A NOTE ON NAMING CONVENTIONS:
As a whole, Aztec names don't really follow any uniform system. For example, most Chinese names consist of lone syllables, most Western names come from the Bible, etc. Aztec names don't really have that. For example, "Tetl" (Stone) is just as valid a personal name as "Nezahualcoyotl" (Hungry Coyote). You could get away with pretty much anything that sounds Nahuatl.

HOW TO MAKE THINGS SOUND NAHUATL: A BASIC GUIDE
>When in doubt, add "tl" to the end.
>The letters "z" "t" "l" and "p" are your friends
>The letters "ch", "th" and "d" are not.
>Useful constructions include: "tl", "hua" "tep" and "poc"

LAST WORDS:
The more important something is, the longer their name is. Centzon, the star of my writefaggotry thus far, will never be Canoness, for example. This isn't always true, but it's historically accurate.

Animals and plants will FAR more often have "tl" at the end than will people names.

Places will USUALLy have a "p" and a "t" in them.

Consonants should go together. Note "popcatepetl". No more than ONE vowel between each consonant, and that's just for pronunciation cues.

Okay, this is what I have so far. I really have no idea if it's anything worth reading. Anyway, this is supposed to be during the final battle against the hordes of C'rtez inside the Hive.

To Miquiztli it seemed like he had swung his dual-bladed chainsword for days without rest, cleaving through unending hordes of Warp spawn while trying to keep up with Chapter Master Xipet T'otec and Epistolary Ocelotl. The screeching of Warp beasts and chains tearing into unholy flesh assaulted him from all sides. As his brother Jaguars battled the twisted hordes of the Chaos Gods, the relentless assaults tore the lives out of the Emperor's warriors one by one, slowly eroding their defensive lines. Desperately he assessed the situation. It was evident that through sheer numbers and mass, they were being defeated. Just like before, during the Cult Uprisings.
Another enemy beast was laid low by Miquiztli just as a four-headed monstrosity overpowered and broke through the outermost line of defense. Miquiztli was standing right in its path and could do little but cut open one of the long necks whose head was snapping at him, before being lifted up by the leg. Cursing vehemently he could feel the onset of the Black Rage rise within him.

>>20254791

Pulling with all his might he tried to free his weapon from where it was lodged inside the accursed being. But without something to brace himself against it seemed futile. He didn't see any other way than to give into the berserker urge hammering through his body and soul, when suddenly he fell hard against the ground. He scrambled up towards the weapon jutting from one of the flailing necks of his enemy, but hte moment he laid his hand on it something grabbed him from the back and twisted him around. The worked-up Jaguar lashed out with his bare hands but was pushed backwards against body of the Warp hydra just as it collapsed. ”FOCUS! REMEMBER THE LIGHT AND THE EMPEROR!” rang the words inside his helmet, but they seemed hollow as he had trouble focusing his vision on any one thing. His heart beat rapidly inside his chest and he was mere moments away from giving in, when a wave of relief washed over him. Suddenly he was aware of his Brother in Blood standing over him, shouting to reach through the fog of his mind as he had been working himself into he Black Rage.

Bumping for you all. Sorry about the argument in my thread.

>>20254979
"The Emperor's Light has washed away the Rage," Miquiztli shouted and rightened himself. Reaching out he grabbed his weapon and tore it out of the corpse. "Your words must have cut through my madness, Brother." However, hearing no response to this he turned around to find his fellow Jaguar look back towards the rear of their fighting group. An even greater ruckus seemed to be taking place back there. A quick look around confirmed that not only that, but that they could hear it at all was due to a sudden lull in the fighting. Warp spawns and lesser daemons alike were retreating. "It's Head Librarian Icpalli and his squad!" shouted the brother who had saved him moments earlier, and the shout was taken up by several other Jaguars. "They must have been the one to pacify your rage, Brother Miquiztli!"
Well, whatever the reason was, it had been closer than he had ever been before. He had never fallen to the Rage despite living and fighting through desperate times before.

>>20255146
"Don't let relief cloud your senses, brother," he adviced the rejoicing man. "Icpalli was meant to break through another way. And as grateful as I am, I cannot imagine that this change of plan was brought on by fortunate circumstances."
As he spoke, their defensive lines parted to let the Head Librarian and his group of warrior-psykers stand in their midst. "Brother Jaguars," the imposing Head Librarian proclaimed. "I fear we bring ill news. The northern approach has proven to be unbreachable. Thus we have joined you here, to-"
Miquiztli was only paying half a mind to the words of Icpalli. He knew that something had been off just seconds earlier when he almost lost his mental equilibrium, and whatever it was, it- "Brace yourselves!" Icpalli shouted right before the sound of the warp horde returning could be heard through the streets of the Hive. No order had to be given as all present Blood Jaguars started advancing as one towards their foes.

The Onyaguara (Panthera Tenoceta) is a solitary, opportunistic, stalk-and-ambush predator at the top of the Tenocit food chain, and the Animal most commonly associated with the Blood Jaguars. A compact and well-muscled animal well adapted to Tenocit's Jungles, the Onyaguara is an opportunistic hunter and its diet encompasses at least 87 species, including unfortunate aspirants who happen to be too close to a hungry Onyaguara. An Aspirant who suceeds in escaping one is seen as marked by the Sun Emperor for great things. The Onyaguara has long been a symbol of power and strength to the nobles of Tenocet.

Any good?

Alright, I wrote a synopsis about where my writefaggotry was supposed to go. Better to leave it to someone else, since I can't tell a story in english. Anyway.

The idea is that Xipet's combar reforms during the cult uprisings were adopted fully, however his spiritual reforms were met with iron resistance from the Head Librarian Icpalli, who held great influence over the Blood Jaguars. According to him, Xipet was the greatest among warriors, yet his combat reforms had accomplished their purpose: There was literally nothing that spoke of the soundness of Xipet's spiritual ideas. To initiate these reforms in these times of rampant Chaos would be especially foolish and likely to weaken their spiritual defenses against its corruption.

Ocelotl stops Icpalli from coming to the Chapter Master's aid against C'rtez. The Head Librarian confronts the Epistolary who responds by subduing his weakened superior. When it seems that Xipet is about to lose to the Daemon's influence, Ocelotl hurries into the room but does nothing. Xipet sees this and understands: This is the moment where he shows the strength of his spirituality and conviction that their reforms are necessary. Xipet defeats the Daemon Prince but is also taken down in turn. Ocelotl needs Xipet to remain up for at least long enough for someone to witness it – so when Icpalli enters, Ocelotl slams him with Xipet's pain and weariness, knocking out the Head Librarian, who never wakes up again.

>>20255758
Miquiztli, who had broken through and advanced on his own to catch up with Xipet, Ocelotl and Icpalli, witnesses this treachery – and dies for it, becoming the most reviled ”traitor” of Blood Jaguar history as he's post-humously blamed for falling and causing the death of Icpalli. When the main forces arrives at the scene, Xipet is standing with C'rtez's heart raised towards the sky. He collapses before anyone reaches him and is carried away to be put on life support inside a Dreanought. With the battle is over, Xipet joins the heroes of legend, and Ocelotl, now the Head Librarian, starts implementing their revised spiritual practices without being challenged, thus creating the modern Blood Jaguar Space Marine Chapter.

>>20255777
Miquiztli is, of course, secretly entered into the secret books as a steadfast warrior and martyr in the Emperor's name, along with Icpalli. This is one of the Chapter's most closely guarded secrets, known only to the Head Librarian.

Decent work out. I'm a little wiped, but I might write down the mandatory lesbian scene in a while. Anything quick that needs fleshing out first?

I remember the first time I saw the sun.

I was crawling through a service duct on in the Quauitl hive, when the blood things came for us in the Long Night.
I had been born during the Long Night, and was sure I would die during it, but it was not to be.
I heard the baying of the hounds of the night as they followed me, despite the duct being barely large enough for a ten year like me.

I crawled through the pipe until it reached the skin of the hive pyramid, leaving me stranded on a tier miles above the jungle floor, in the eternal darkness.

As I fled on my hands and feet, both bleeding from the jagged metal, I saw something in the distance, a red light, which should have been too far to see from this distance, from a hive nearly across the entire jungle.

And then, the sky opened, and the darkness went away, and I saw the sun, for the first, and last time, as my eyes burned.

I like this as well.

I also like the fact they have a place for women who wish to serve the Sun-Emperor. Though I do wonder, what would happen if a female aspirant actually made it into the temple. Either through shere will and luck or a hive scummer who somehow got her hands on a photon flash grenade, nearly hits the steps and when surrounded pops the bastard off.

Sisters stumble around blind because it will overload even their visors and she actually gets into the sanctum. THEN what happens?

I'm sure as hell that it isn't the weakling wife that requires help just to finish her initiation.

>>20256418
It would make for an interesting story, to say the least. I imagine the BJag marine would simply ignore her pleas until the Sisters took her away anyways and her training would be that much harsher, as more would be expected out of such a promising potential recruit.

I'd write it, but I'm too tired. Though I think a Chaplin would have to straight-up level with here that she can't be a Marine. She has a mundande career as a sister and is killed in battle against Chaos.

I was under the impression that "failure" entailed being abducted by three or so highly trained SoBs before they reach the top of the ziggurat, not just almost dying in the jungle like a bitch.

Why would we not have an SoB representative in our compound in the first place?
Being amazons, they would literally be just like female space marines. They only wouldn't have the implants because that's impossible.

That's what was with the "overstepping my bounds" line I threw in there. I'm honestly sorry if I sounded arrogant, since that wasn't my intent in the least.

We have literally NOTHING on the Sisters. I was saying that on what we DO have, they aren't portrayed as weaklings.

>consensus
And the consensus seems to be that the Sister actively hunt down female recruits, not pick them up when they drop like flies.
At any rate, I'm just a writefag. I was asked to flesh out the Sisters and that's what I did.

>>20256893

>I'm actively against that.
That's why he said NOT when they drop like flies.
>And have the SAME initiation
They do, it's just that the SoBs pluck their recruits right before they meet the marine. Hell, you could even argue that the SoB recruitment is harder since they usually end up attacking their recruiters.

Of course, I could be wrong, but that's how I read it.

>>20256632
The top of Xolotl shone red with the embers of the setting sun, Itzpapalotl barely noticed it as she reached the top, Mortem Sacco held firm by her arms. Her eyes were fixed upon a figure, a living statue standing in the center of the spire's flat top.
She took a step, hesitantly... and then a second, defiantly, until she stood before him.
"I have walked the Black Road to the Sun, I have followed in the path of the Lord of Light, and I have come to join the Blood Jaguars."

The statue moved its head, its crimson, jewel like eyes focusing upon Itzpapalotl, boring into her soul, and said with a voice like thunder:
"We will not take you."

Itzpapalotl was stunned, silent with disbelief, as the sun sunk ever lower.
"But... I walked the dark road. I followed the rituals, I did everything that was asked... why am I not worthy?" rage and frustration choked her words, but the statue heard anyway.

"It is not your worth that is in question. You have been chosen by another"

A sudden billowing of wind made Itzpapalotl turn, and there, before her, she saw a ghastly figure, in black and red armour, and with a face painted as a skull.

>>20256990
....
That's what I'm saying!

>>20257026
Well, that's the way I meant it.

If we need Sisters looking for recruits around the temples, make hunting for initiates part of the training process for the Sisters.

After traditional schooling is finished they get sent out as a traditional squad to work on their survival skills in the forest while looking for more initiates.

Have them drop the armor for the survival training and stick them in an outfit that matches the boogyman idea that has been attached to them. That way even a hiver can hit the temple and not recognize that they are Martyred Heart. Plus, surviving he wild without armor generate some tough-ass sisters.

>>20257038

Itzpapalotl gasped, stepped towards the Blood Jaguar for safety. "No, I do not want to go with her, I want to stand in front of the Sun Emperor, not walk with the Blood Hearts..."

The statue shook his head, a hint of sorrow in his voice. "It is not to be child, it is the lot of the sons of the Emperor to march under his fury, to make his sight clear once more. His daughters have a much more important task. They walk where he cannot see. Extends his sight beyond the darkness. The Sisters of the Martyred Heart may walk in shadow. But they burn with the Emperor's Light."

The Blood Heart steped forward, hand extended. "All who love life, fear death. Help me bring that fear to the Enemies of the Sun."

Itzpapalotl stepped ahead, took the Blood Heart's hand, and walked to face her destiny.
