>Warrior Brotherhood: Military strength is prized by the Imperium like few other virtues. It is this strength, and the will to wield it, that is valued above almost all else in protecting the holdings of Mankind. Those entrusted with this task sometimes let their heady burden take control of them, and devote their lives to war as a craft, hobby, or even religion, rather than a duty. Such cults can arise within militant forces such as the Adeptus Arbites or planetary Enforces as easily as the Imperial Guard or Navy.
So they like to fight

>Seekers of Immortality: The main goal of this cult is the pursuit of immortality, a goal that few have attained. This cult or its upper echelons seek to become one of those few.
So they also wish to live forever, to fight forever?

Council of Inner Mysteries: The cult is ruled by a group of a decent size. This group may all work together towards a common goal or more likely, constantly plagued with in-fighting and backstabbing.
>>63333323
Daemon: (same as above, but include 'Xenos' as a possible mundane guise) The cult is led by a daemonic entity, usually tied to one of the chaos gods.

Plentiful Ammunition: The cult favors solid projectile weapons, grenades, and other armaments that rely upon easy access to large stores of ammunition.

Otherwordly Allies: The cult has allies in unknown places and may not even know the true nature of their allies.

Extensive Bodily Modification: This cult makes use of extensive bodily modifications to bolster its forces. These modifications could be biological in nature such as controlled (as much as it could) chaos mutations or tampering with the holy human form or mechanical in nature similar to that of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

>>63334200
Advanced Technology: The cultists are unusually familiar with unusual devices, as evidenced by their use of encrypted vox channels, multi-spectral scanners, or even xenos weaponry.


Beasts: The cult trains, breeds and alters living creatures to suit their goals and defend themselves from opponents

>Knowledge: To live as a scholar in the Imperium of Man is to remain in frustrating ignorance. Mankind has forgotten and lost more knowledge than most xenos races have assembled by the death of their civilizations. The Adeptus Mechanicus worsens this crushing ignorance with their monopolies on technology and data, together with their stifling (often punishing) adherence to doctrine. Some groups appear to stand against the darkness, however, to either seek out the knowledge of the past or to seek new and abominable information. For a frustrated scholar, such groups would appear ready to slake his thirsts.

>>63334555

I was hoping for Indulgence

>>63334576
>Mass Devotions: The most common form of cult ritual is a gathering of the cultists for a shared devotion. For some, this may be more akin to a business meeting than a religious ritual, as the defining element of mass devotions is a gathering focused on the cultists’ shared purpose. Such gatherings may have the cultists or their leaders remain masked and hidden from each other, or they may reveal their affiliation brazenly.

We're not just trying to make warriors. We're making the BEST warriors. Men and women that would make Sigvald proud. Absolute pinnacles of the art of fighting. This is not about death, this is not about conquest, this is not about murder. This is about forging the ultimate sword, the weapon that will slake the maw of She Who Thirsts, the endless devotion to the unshakable ideal of martial perfection.

Here is where we learn not just how to use a gun or swing a chainsword. Here is where men learn dozens of ancient martial arts, hundreds of combat tactics and secrets, all in that pursuit of the perfect warrior, the perfect war, the perfect battle.

I can see these guys being like the Slaaneshi version of Khorne's Blood Pact. An elite, disciplined unit, a cut above the normal decadent cult rabble. They disdain specialization and will use anything and everything to achieve victory, because it's the triumph itself that they seek, always.

>Let the Flawless Host revel in their so-called perfection

>To specialize is slow death
>And we have no desire to die

>>63336891
I love it. Each of the gods needs a Blood Pact group. The best of their mortal worshippers in one group(s)

"Leave specialization to the Insects."
'-Cult Grandmaster

The Seekers of Perfection are a Slaaneshi Warhost that has similarities to the Khornate Bloodpact.

They seek immortality to one day achieve perfection of the self through training and combat.

>>63336752
>>63336849
>>63336884
I think with all the assets they have at their disposal, there should be a mishmash of specialties, each soldier convinced that their handful of tools is the best. We can have heavily augmented guys, guys that have grown three new arms, guys with a pack of beasts, etc.
They can work together, but it's always a rivalry of who's the best. They have no respect for the dead, because the dead are failures. Sacrifice for the good of the cult is practically unheard of, although suicidal overconfidence is much more common.

I don't know about the name. It should reflect the fact that they use lots of different means to victory.

>>63337004
That's not quite what I was going for. Like, every soldier is a good warrior in his own right, but each one has a handful of things he'll tend to throw at a problem.
Like, one guy loves augmetics, explosives, and pets. One guy loves biomods and melee duels.
Every one of them thinks that their particular skillset is better than everyone else's, except people who have the same skillset as them, who are talentless hacks.
They look down on enemies like Eldar who focus on one particular skill, believing them to be lacking in scope. In their eyes, perfecting one skill means ignoring the many other forms of war and falling victim to its inherent weaknesses. The irony is that they themselves can't avoid specialization, because no human can be perfect at every skill.

>>63337163
I was about to say, they'd work much better in small groups than pitched warfare.

>A nobleman of Kurnatoth was renowned for his extensive and fearsome bodyguard: more than a hundred men, trained from childhood to be deadly in every art- be it firearms, knives, poison, or their own bare hands. The nobleman lavished upon his bodyguard an expensive nervous system augmentation that boosted reflexes and dexterity. The combination made every man more than a match for even a Death Cult Assassin.
>But even with these defenses, the nobleman died regardless, under mysterious and bewildering circumstances. His daughter, distraught and searching for someone to blame, cast out the entire bodyguard from her service, her last command being to leave the planet and seek redemption in the Imperial Guard.
>With their typical bureaucratic laziness, the Administratum sent the entire bulk of the bodyguard to a single regiment, rather than distribute them across the Guard. Perhaps if they had, tragedy could well have been avoided.
>The bodyguard was not well suited for the guard. In this new life of drudgery and attrition, the horrific waste of their talents ground upon the former elites. They prayed for an opportunity to prove themselves, to excel once more, rather than die by inches in the trenches.
>And they were answered.
>A Daemon touched their thoughts and offered them an infernal bargain. Fight for him, worship him, and they would wield their deadly craft once more. Further, any who proved themselves exemplary in the art of war would be elevated and given eternal life by his side.
>Their mutiny was as ruthless as it was effective. With their commissar and their commanding officers dead in seconds, the bodyguard offered the regiment a choice: join, or die.
>Many did both.

>>63338007
That should be obvious, maybe one of the Bodyguards finds out and has a change of heart? Not successfully mind you, they just try to somehow kill the Daemon but manage to Wound/Maim it

Okay, so what kind of eternal life are we talking about here? Stopping them from dying of old age is pretty easy, and I could see the Daemon doing that for the higher-ups.
Do we mean Daemon-Prince level immortality, where killing them just means sending them back to the warp? If so, has the Daemon ever granted it to someone?

>>63338067
The first is easily doable for the Daemon, if at least slowing the aging process. DP level may be a bit out there as it wouldn't want any upstarts challenging it.

Maybe >>63338056 te bodyguard here is trying to find a way to achieve such power to take revenge for his Master and the scamming of himself and the Bodyguards?

>>63338103
What if no one's ever achieved the level of perfection necessary for DP level immortality, partly because the Daemon doesn't want competition but keeps promising it.
And there was one bodyguard who came closest and was seen as the greatest of the Paragon Seekers (if that's what we are calling them), but turned on the Daemon and struck at it in revenge of the nobleman's death.
The Daemon killed him, of course, but it was unexpected. Now to speak of him is a complete taboo, partly because the fact that despite how desperately they seek perfection, the greatest of them betrayed them gnaws at them.
Kinda like a reverse Lucifer.

Tainted/Daemon Weapons? Yay or Nay?

Do these guys own ships/a Fleet to get them around, are they mercenaries who sell their services to other Warbands. How debauched are they compared to other Slaaneshis?

>>63338205
I think the higher ups would definitely use Daemon weapons, seeing as how they're willing to use anything that helps them win.
They're less debauched than most Slaaneshis. They look down on vice and addiction, seeing it as wasted energy and a way to cope with failure. Ambition is their drug of choice, and there's no point aiming lower than the top.

>>63338195
I can see the Betrayer originally joining the Daemon solely for using the immortality to find whoever killed his Master out of loyalty. but then when it discovered it was the Daemon they struck and fended off both the Daemon and his fellow Seekers. Even bisected a few of them with his sword.
The reverse Lucifer idea is great.

>>63338303
A lot of the Bodyguard should be leading the Paragons, though. The Daemon should have them convinced that the nobleman was weak and didn't deserve to lead them, since all they did was sit around and protect him, squandered almost as much as they were in the guard.
Only the Betrayer and a handful of others still remain loyal to their original cause.

>>63338367
The remaining Loyalists are playing a dangerous game nowadays. The Daemon can read minds and literally smell fear. They've gotten amazing to get that far. Maybe one ran off somewhere to gain power to strike at the Daemon, maybe joined a Radical Inquisitor.

I imagined them leading the Paragons while they set up Schools/Lodges to train new Warriors based on their styles and new ones springing up

>>63338414
I'm worried that we're going a little too far towards Cypher and the Fallen here.

>>63338443
True. Only the Betrayer was the only one to rise up though the incident left doubt and sowed the seeds of future rebellion within the Paragons'Leadership

>>63338557
Sasaki Kojirou . Even the Daemon was surprised.

>>63338557

The Betrayer was a cybernetic Rambo+Ronin on crack, wielding an archeo-tech sword and no small amount of self-enhancing sorcery.

>>63338617
I really like that, specifically in that I love the idea of the Betrayer's perfection being entirely, utterly mundane. He didn't go for gene mods or daemonic gifts. He didn't specialize in some kind of trick or gimmick. He just took everything he had and honed it to utter, implacable perfection, to the point where he could break reality.

>>63338543
>Parasitic - "The creature cannot reproduce without a host from another species, e.g.: as a food source."
Should we go with the standard "lays its eggs inside the victim"?
Or what if the creature traps a victim within its cagelike nest, to be eaten alive when the babies hatch?

>>63338557
>>63338617
>>63338640

Their duel lasted half an hour before the daemon managed to get the upper hand, and even then, it was through treachery.

>>63338657
That does sound cool, and I like the hypocrisy of the cult trying to reach his level of perfection by using tricks and mods and gimmicks.
I'm not sure how well it works within 40k though.

>>63338658
That works very well. The Paragons take slaves to help their Pets reproduce.
>>63338657
>>63338661
That's what I was going for. Maybe the duel could last longer and he'd do more damage before being betrayed

>>63332900
It got up to like 60 today. All the snow is gone.

>>63338617
>>63338661
>>63338678
Can we at least make him a psyker, to make it a bit more believable?

>>63338675

He was a nascent self-improving Psyker, and his powers manifested during the emotion of their duel.

>>63338675
Idea: The betrayer was a null or a really minor psyker. Not a primaris-level, crazy powerful null, but a minor one. That's why the daemonic stuff never really worked with him, and that's why he was so dangerous to the daemon. He managed to basically self-train himself into the equivalent of a Sister of Silence, entirely though his own martial rigor, and it's part of why the Daemon had such a problem with him because he was escalating in power and potency to a ridiculous level.

>>63338742
>>63338730
>>63338719
That is pretty much the gist, Nigh perfect, a nascent psyker whose belief in himself pushed his power to beyond the limit and did the impossible with a plain iron sword.

So I think these gys don't have a fixed home outside a space station/Hulk where the Daemon lives and is a meeting/neutral ground for the Paragons as a whole

>>63338742

Fuck him being a psyker, the null idea is far superior.

Maybe the Daemon wanted to se if it could corrupt a Null for Slaanesh for some reason?

So how powerful should the Daemon be?
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Make-A-Daemon_Prince

>>63338822
>>63338730
>>63338742

Maybe only the Daemon was aware of it, and was uncomfortable with him, but couldn't outright condemn him when he was so admired.
It started very low-level, the only evidence being a remarkable ability to shake off mind control and other minor warp phenomena. Only in his climactic battle with the Daemon did his full power awaken and he hurt the Daemon more deeply than it had ever been struck before.
It was not enough to kill it, but it was enough for him to escape. Now he wanders the galaxy, biding his time and honing his skills even more, until he can finally finish the job.

Damn, it's gonna be hard not to make this guy too edgelord.

>>63338873
I don't think he should be a Daemon Prince, just a Daemon of Slaanesh.
I'm not exactly sure why, but it seems better to me.

>>63338921
True.

>>63338777

I like the blank aspect because the pariah field is a great foil to the Daemon's Dread Aura.
He was the one man it couldn't cow, the one man it couldn't beat. And in the end, the Daemon learned to fear him.

>>63338921
If we go with the Betrayer a Null that makes it better. Since the Daemon can't even eat him to gain power through that way, he denied it with one final fuck you.
>>63339035

>Loyalty is it's own Reward

I see these guys inadvertently becoming middle men between the Slaaneshi/Chaos groups in their Sector. They care very little for power plays and more about their martial prowess and seeking immortality so most Chaos groups see them as a perfect meeting ground.

Many deals and treaties are made on their hulk between the groups, fighting outside sanctioned dueling rings and arenas is forbidden by threat of death

>>63339175
In addition, the Paragons lend out their Lodges/Brotherhoods to Warbands as high quality troops. It isn't uncommon for two Lodges to meet one another on the field of battle and going at one another, this is actually encouraged by the Daemon to promote improvement and weeding out the weak nd potential upstarts. In exchange, the Paragon's are payed in Salvage/Loot and slaves for their use.

I actually see the Paragons as being 'Nice' to their slaves, at least they don't make use of them in depraved sex acts, or use them for target practice. That'd be inefficient for them. They're treated somewhat like Chapter Serfs in a way. They're help, not stress relief.

>When her bodyguard gave a muffled grunt she was already reaching down to the holdout drawer. She was swinging the needler up by the time she heard his body hit the ground.
>And then he was there, impossibly, less than a meter from the gun's barrel. Utterly still, in defiance of the speed that had brought him there faster than her eye could follow.
>His face was different. It was older, harder, lined with an age of pain. Not until she saw the thin silver scars that traced across his fingers did she recognize him.
>"Put it down, Nelanda", he said. His voice was soft and resigned. "It won't do you any good."
>She lowered it to the table slowly, trying to still the shaking of her hand. The gun rattled, just for an instant, but she knew he had heard it.
>A governess is trained from infancy to conceal her emotions, and Nelanda was a master at the art. Only once in her adult life had she let her feelings burst free and unrestrained, and the result of it stood before her now.
>That, in itself, gave her terror. The stories she had gathered of the monsters her father's men had become, of course, merely added another layer of fear. But there was something else, some undefinable sensation that seemed to emanate from him. The shadows around him seemed deeper, the air colder. Merely by standing very still, he sent waves of dread crawling up her spine.
>She held herself together admirably well, considering. "Why are you here?" she asked, imperiously, with only a touch of trembling.

>>63339724
I'd say more than a hundred years old, but they've been whittled down to maybe one or two dozen over the years. The Daemon keeps them from dying of old age, but withholds true immortality from them.

So we have a Khornate Pleasure Cult that originated from the Clergy of a planet but are the descendants of an ancient religion form Holy Terra before space flight.

They sound very interesting in all honesty,

>>63345360
The Brotherhood of the Blood

They use a psychic melding through the use of Blood shared between eachother similar to the Blood Angels, maybe they learned it from them through tales and aping it?

They are a Pleasure Cult that seeks pleasure in the most Khornate manner: Comabt and Bloodshed. They're descended from a sect of Clergy that was a far older religion that was mutated by the Imperial Cult and now Chaos, the changes were subtle enough no one really noticed unti lthe Daemon took charge.

The Daemon is their central Figure and keeps order and unity through largely it's strength and might to prevent uprisings or any sort of usurpers.

They make use of many intricate and powerful weapons, either in battle or Ceremonial purposes. Many foul tokens and fetishes garb them. And their public face is well liked by communities, they likely run many charities, Blood Drives?

During the Heresy they were loyalist through and through and aided the IXth legion garrison against a Chaos Force. Fact checking shows the Blood Angels were on the planet and battles against Heretic forces occurred.

During the time the Imperial Cult was being founded and spread throughout the imperium the Brotherhood would have come to work alongside the Blood Angel garrison fro many years and picked up many traits, rites and rituals which they would integrate into their religious practices.

They work not only as a shrine that takes care of several fallen Astartes and their artifacts but make use of the lessons taught to them by the BA. In this case it was artisanship and crafting, they are well known for their skill and majestic weapons and armors they forge for those that will pay in coin and favors.

Thy have made a pretty penny in these endeavors, their arms are highly sought after throughout the Sector from Guard Generals to the Sectorial command itself.

>>63352222
The Brotherhood came to be friends with the Paragons due to agents of the paragons coming to the Brotherhood with requests for high quality equipment. After a number of orders it became apparent to the upper echelons of the Brother that the orders were for a Chaos group, specifically a Slaaneshi. They then began dropping hints to the Paragons that they knew their identity and their Daemon Leader would like to strike a deal.


How the Brotherhood came to be ruled by a Khornate Daemon is hard to say. The Daemon says it has always been in charge, but records and the truth shall likely never be discovered.

The Brotherhood seeks perfection through the crafting of arms and the foul communion of blood melding, where their blood is mixed together and psychically charged to allow members to experience the thoughts and dreams of others.

In spite of their image as mere crafters, te Brotherhood are no pushovers as countless examples have attested. Their members train extensively both body and mind with the very weapons they craft.

Going to roll up the Nurglite Cult so we can round the 4 out.

Cults of Society (1d20) Background

I wont roll up other cults, we got plenty here.

Anyone here?

The Brotherhood is fairly stationary, their members rarely leave their homeworld except for business/pilgrimages.

They are called the least bloodthirsty Khornates in the Universe for how little actual killing outside of self defense. They realized long ago going around and butchering people is a swift ticket to being purged, so they obviously keep low.

They maintain many hospitals, charities, orphanges and even dueling arenas which they use to spread their influence bth on the planet and across the Sector in their hopes.

Not many within their ranks know of their true intentions and fewer even know of their Daemon Master.

They spill lots of blood however through their weapons, which all have their marks and are intrinsically tied to Khorne's power and corrupt the wielder's mind and sol to commit more and more bloodshed. Whether on the field themselves or through increasingly bloodier campaigns. A number of their 'Customers' have fallen to Khorne over the millennia by way of their arms dealing.

>Inquisitorial Reprt of the Brotherhood and Paragons Heretic groups
>Despite the Paragons being a Slaanesh Cult and the Brotherhood a Khornate one, the tow show immense amounts of camaraderie between them
>On a number of occasions the two have been known to operate side by side with none of the conflict and mayhem that characterizes such a gathering
>Scouts report the exchange of gifts (weapons, slaves, food etc.) whenever they meet up
>I battles the two forces will go out of their way to save and aid one another, a notable battle brought forth a scene where Brotherhood Brutes put themselves between Inquisitorial Stormtroopers and injured Paragons to by them and the wounded Brotherhood members time to escape
>Investigation and interrogation shows this is due to the close ties fostered by repeated meetings, gift exchanges and fighting side by side as well as both noting the similarities between themselves

The Betrayer would be a perfect fit for Blackstone Fortress given the prize for whoever reached the endgame: Complete and immortal life along with stat buffs. With that he'd be finally able to take on the Daemon and take revenge after so long. That and him fighting alongside the other adventurers would be a nice way to put in a Null and his interactions between him and the Man of Iron bot given both lack souls.

>>63353904
Well, don't forget that the Paragons are also cutthroat dicks. They won't betray you, cause that's cheating, but the most you'll get is begrudging respect.
Inherent in their mentality is that they're better than you.

The air was filled with the cacophony of ringing steel, but a trained ear could tell this was no simple banging and swinging. There was two blades dancing with each other, and a master's ear could tell with clarity the nigh godlike skill both swordsmen possessed. De'an the 'Betrayer' as he was now called by his former compatriots and Daemonic master was now locked in a battle with said Daemon, the one who killed his Master and led to he and his companions being under his thrall. Despite the rage he felt at the sight of the foul being, he kept his composure as the monster in front of him would make capital of any mstake he made.

The thought of a mortal man, no matter how skilled as De'an was and only armed with his plain Steel blade, without sanctified weapons could push back or mark a Daemon, let alone one as skilled and dealy as the 'Teacher' in front of him, would be preposterous. And they would be right, had De'an not been a Null, a Psychic-Negative being. He always wondered why he had trouble having friends, let alone a real companionship all his life until finding employ under his Master, who trained and augmented he and his fellow bodyguards. It was not until partway through being unde the rule and tutelage of the'Teacher' that he figured out his Null nature.

Out of all the Paragons, he was the least if at all affected by the 'Teacher's' Aura of Dread it used to cow them into submission and fear for their and their fellow students lives. As he grew in skill he began to experiment his newfound nature and with each passing day found the fear of the 'Teacher' grow ever smaller. Each new level brought a new point of view of the world he lived in.

>>63354821
Oh I know, but that applies to those they don't know well and the know they can get away with. They've been dealing with the Brotherhood for quite some time and have come to respect the guys who've gone undetected for millennia and caused untold mayhem through their cursed gifts. That and the gear they provide is of the very best quality, outdoing even the Paragon's best smiths.

On that subject, what should the symbol of the Paragon Seekers be?
I'm thinking maybe a hand gripping a six-pointed star.

And is there any kind of common theme they all tend to share, to make them more unified? Like a color scheme, or some kind of equipment, like how the Blood Pact have their oni-style helmets?

>>63354950
So we're calling him Dean?

>>63354950
De'an could tell his presence was adversely affecting the 'Teacher', he could not unleash his full might, he was still unused to it and it could either knock him out or even stop his heart and brain. He needed all his attention on his foe, the battle would end with an artfully placed blow, not a firework display. The 'Teacher's' movements and reflexes seemed to be slowing, but near imperceptibly so


>>63355224
Yeah I like the name, it was a reference to D from VHD.

I like the hand grasping/reaching for a star idea to reference them seeking knowledge/immortality. Not sure on unifying themes or the Paragons, maybe they have a helmet design or something like the symbol you said.

>>63354983
But they are even dickish to each other, that's important. They're not a band of honor-bound brothers, they're arrogantly trying to outprove each other nonstop.
They're all the most obnoxious Rival characters from saturday morning cartoons crammed into one cult. A whole legion of Gary Oaks.

Every minute, every second Divdea felt itself get angrier. So angry in fact it was surprised it wasn't screaming and gibbering about Blood and Skulls like some braindead Khornate. And it was all because of this Souless, Hairless Ape. Divdea preferred t ouse it's powers to make it's foes and thralls cower before it, but thanks to this upstart it couldn't do that. It hated getting its hands dirty when it could simply crush their minds or blast them with soulfire, scarring them both body and soul. It glutted itself on their terror and desperation. And now it couldn't, it was taking all it had to keep itself materialized and fight the Null Swordsmen it found itself squared against.

Said Swordsmen's for compatriots were of no help, either they hesitated or were too weak to even get a hit on their former 'Brother'. Once this was over Divdea would take great strides to punish them for such failure.

>Decadent Nobles: The elite of the Imperium are required to earn their position through meritorious service and self-sacrifice, rather than simply bask in the luxuries accumulated through an inherited position. In actuality, though, many Imperial holdings are plagued with idle nobility with few occupations other than amusing themselves. From this wellspring of casual indolence, heresy almost inevitably follows.

>rogressive Plot: The golden age of Mankind has come and gone. The wisdom of the past can be found with care and caution, but some are reckless enough to believe in seeking new answers instead. Cults of progress may lack reverence for old knowledge, or they may believe themselves up to the task of recreating it from first principles. In their pursuit of new and arcane secrets, they echo the hubris of the Dark Age of Technology, and may bring down ruin to match.
Or
>Freethinker's Enclave: The Imperium is too vast and ponderous to truly possess a unified culture, but local planets usually have their own traditions and rigid thought. Where groups grow dissatisfied with their hidebound way of life, a cult devoted to questioning and seeking truth can arise. It is neither seemly nor safe for the common citizens of the Imperium to be concerned with such matters, and these freethinkers can cause mass panics by pulling down the comforting veil of ignorance that protects their fellows.

>Wyrdcraft/Sorcery: The elite of the cult bear amulets imbued with witch-inscribed charms, or wield blades inscribed with runes of hellish power. Their unnatural armaments are nearly as deadly to the wielder as to his foes, but they remain a threat that should not be underestimated.
>Brutal Weaponry: When forced to action, the cult uses simple, direct weaponry. Heavy axes, huge mauls, and similar weapons are common. More advanced armaments follow similar trends, with chainswords, autoguns, and bolt weapons being preferred when accessible.

These guys are quite well equipped, though they are backed by Nobles and left by Daemons. Should the Damon be Messianic figurehead/mastermind with an Adjutant Noble/the Governor?

So these nurglites are very well equipped. Powerful weapons, Tainted/Daemon stuff, Bodymods for the troops/elites and good defenses of all sorts since they're nobles with the Thrones to spare. Ruled by a Daemon that leads them as a Messiah figure, They are an apocalypse cult

Divdea noticed the incoming swipe and ducked while springing to the side, avoiding the Null's blade in the nick of time. The support beam that found itself the target for said strike failed to survive in any acceptable manner. De'a's blade bt into it and the force ripped through it, cutting all the wat through to the other end, 5meters in all. 'Such power' thought Divdea, 'if only the Ape weren't a Null, I'd have feasted upon his soul to soar far more powerful'. But it could not take the time to appreciate such might as the Null was upon it within a fraction of a second. His mild augments pushing him beyond what any mere mortal could hope to achieve. De'a had always been a believer in perfecting oneself and only using augments when necessary, he had nothing against his compatriots and their augmentations.

After the strike and dodge, the two Masters were once again clashing their blades, each missed swing destroying Divdea's collection of 'Art' and 'Toys'. De'a felt little as he put grotesque artwork to the sword and gave tortured slaves mercy. Only Divdea was on his mind, and the revenge he'd have once he drove his blade through its Black Heart.

looks like everyone's gone :( It was fun while it lasted, really it was.

And so the deadly dance continued, Divdea being pushed back more and more, even it's inhuman Daemonic might weakening in the face of the low but everpresent and close Null's presence. It's blade chipped with every hit, it's vision blurring, it kept getting more and more sluggish. If something was not done, it would die, Truly Die and not simply banished to the War to reform. Right then a thought sprung to mind: Reform. It now had a plan, it was risky but it could work it it could pull it off. They just needed to lead the Ape away from it's sanctum and to the Plasma Core it kept as backup. One correct swing was all it needed and the Ape would be nothing but ashes when it went through.

Mankind has forgotten and lost more knowledge than most xenos races have assembled by the death of their civilizations.

Some groups appear to stand against the darkness, however, to either seek out the knowledge of the past or to seek new and abominable information. For a frustrated scholar, such groups would appear ready to slake his thirsts.

Such gatherings may have the cultists or their leaders remain masked and hidden from each other, or they may reveal their affiliation brazenly.

Meantthe style but nevermind I'm done for the night. ignore the last two Cults especially the Tzeentch one. Neither are really interesting. Should have just done more on the Brotherhood and Paragons.

I'll just archive this in the morning don't bump guys. I need to sleep for work

I will follow the next thread but I wanted to let you guys know that I am making those cults so I need some imputs on the best models to use as a base for them.

Starting with the Paragons:

The feline avian beast will probably be a modified form of https://www.games-workshop.com/it-IT/Stormcast-Eternals-Gryph-hounds-2017

For the bulk of them I need some well toned cultist that focus on melee, so I think that my best bet as base miniatures goes is something like this:
https://www.games-workshop.com/it-IT/Khorne-Bloodreavers
or
https://www.games-workshop.com/it-IT/Kairic-Acolytes
kitbashed with chaos warrior and IG pieces. (I will probably go with a mix of the two kits)

for some melee specialist I think I will go for something that better show how they augment their bodies, like:
https://www.games-workshop.com/it-IT/Ad-Mec-Fulgurite-Electro-Priests
or/and
https://www.games-workshop.com/it-IT/Sicarians-2017

Everything will be mixed with demonettes, chaos warriors, imperial guard, genestealer cults and other random bits I have.

For our Lord I am a bit more unsure, but I think stormcasts models could be nice. They are bigger and quite noble/imposing, and easy to make more "chaosy".
Something like:
https://www.games-workshop.com/it-IT/Stormcast-Eternals-Lord-exorcist-2018

I love generators as much as anyone else, but what's the point of obsessively bumping a single roll thread ad infinitum? We've already gotten the results and elaborated on the basics, there's no reason to continue writing content no-one's ever going to use.
