>Hive fleet 'Toho' is a strange one, and its story is mysterious.
>It appears that a tendril of Hive Fleet Kraken was annihilated by T'au Forces in orbital fleet-combat, with only a scant few ships escaping. Co-incidentally, the majority of these escapees were thode carrying Toho's supply of Bio-Titans, enormous, heavily armoured creatures of destruction.
>Rather than render these Titans down to their biomass and make a more functional army to rebuild with, a bug in the Tyranids programming caused them to keep their remaining forces as they are.
>However, this has had an unexpected boon. While Toho's army is hardly a well-balanced one, the roaming, seemingly instinct-led Bio-Titans have acted as a rallying point for beleagured Genestealer Cults and more orthodox renegade forces in the region, who have began to see the enormous, nearly indestructable creatures as literal gods.
>Wherever Toho goes, human forces rally to them, and the few remaining Synapse creatures facilitate this, stopping their Bio-Titans from devouring their new allies, and using any acquired biomass to make yet more of the vast beasts.
>However, recently something has changed. Toho is no longer wandering around randomly. The flert had changed path and, followed by an ever-present tide of human servents, began pressing deep into Imperial space.
>It is clear where the fleet is heading- Terra.

>>77294134
REASONS!
more seriously though, it's on our way to terra and we just got kinda bogged down

>>77294155
This. This is good. I thought we were gonna go with Hive Fleet Kaiju, but Toho works, though I'm not familiar with the monster it's based on.
So the hive fleet itself actually makes use of genestealers in their army and shit because it can't make anything but biotitans?
Seems to me like this hive basically just lets its genestealer forces build up and act as foot troops until it has enough to nom and make another biotitan or two.

>>77294155
Sounds prettyg good.

>>77294205
Name's just a placeholder, Toho were the film company that made Godzilla and a bunch of other Kaiju films.

Yeah whether by design or a mistake in their 'programming' the fleet just makes Bio-titans instead of anything else, but it worked out fine because the 100ft tall monsters wrecking cities acted as a rallying point to a bunch of cultists- both GSC and regular renegades- who saw them as actual gods (understandable.) The remaining Synapse creatures just decided to roll with it since all-titans isn't really a tactically viable army.

Anybody got any ideas for biotitan shapes or references?

Love all these biotitan images! Now I'm wondering if the Hive Fleet (Ghidorah as a name maybe) should be able to field Lictors and Gaunts and shit, but with the catch that they have to be titan sized.

>>77294932
Oh thats cool. They're still able to make normal stuff, but the programming error prints everything out at 100x scale and the fleet (who is in charge of a splinter is it a Tyrant?) can't work out how to fix it.

>>77295191
The splinter fleet is absolutely led by a hive tyrant, but, crucially, its the only bioform made by the fleet that's actually tinier than the original, only going up to your knee.

Its no less deadly for its size, but you can still only have one hive tyrant at a time.

Not amazing right now but most armies don't have a codex for 9th yet so that could change soon.

Anyway, I got bored and wrote a thing.

>I remember the day the sky caught fire. I remember looking up at the specks of steel and flesh that made up two vast fleets as they tore each other apart, as debris and blasts of energy pierced our atmosphere and rained down on our city and fields. I remember the despair as reports filtered in; that the T'au fleet had obliterated our saviors in a single, vicious blow, sending the remnants of the Tyranid fleet fleeing into the outer dark. We cheered, of course, and partied lone into the night to keep up appearances and avoid suspicion, but all my comrades and I felt was despair.

>We had all celebrated in secret when the Tyranids overcame the forces of our masters on their very homeworld, stripping its surface bare and making a desert where there had once been a verdant green world. The same would not happen to us, of course- we were the faithful, the true believers. The Great Ones would spare us.

>Only they never had the chance to. To add to our failure, much of the Cult had been killed or captured by the T'au planetary defense forces as they tried to aid their masters, all for naught. In those dark moments, it seemed like we were finished.

>Only, now there is hope for us. First there was just stories, that the hive-fleet was returning with a vengeance, attacking and stripping less defended worlds on the outskirts of T'au-held space. Then curfews were imposed again, much as they had in the first war, and hope was sparked again in our hearts. (1/2)

>>77310787
>And now I know that hope was not false- for I have seen the Great Ones again, and I know their time is coming. I was forced to escape this world disguised on a trade ship- one of our former members had finally broken under torture and revealed several key members of the cults identity- and made my way to another world on the very edge of the sector. And there, by luck or fate I cannot know, my lords and masters appeared in the sky and attacked again.

>I cannot describe it. The things that tore Tak'iyo down to it's foundations escape all explanation. Impossibly vast beings, gods made manifest, shrugging off even the mightiest of firepower the T'au threw at it. It was clear to me in that moment; our masters had been beaten, and the gods had given them a mighty gift to begin the campaign again- titans of flesh and chitin that none could stand against. Avatars of the very gods that we worshiped.

>And where they go, a tide of followers go also. How could any witness the majesty of the titans and not be swept up in their magnificence? We keep our distance- it would be an insult to dare fight alongside a god, after all- but we strike at the fortifications before they arrive, and clean up resistance that still remains when they leave. Soon, we know, our army will be large enough to return to my home and liberate it from the T'au. Soon...

Personally, i'm thinking the Sept is actually run by a cadre of the Shas'o's underlings, who do what they need to because their leader is a total fucking pushover.

Writefag from before here, honestly rolling up another WAAAGH doesn't interest me much so I wrote up some lore for alternate Bio-Titan designs designed to make up for the shortcomings of having no smaller nids.

>The Sky-strike class Tyranid is among the most troublesome of the new patterns we have had to face. While their combat abilities pale in comparison to other flying Bio-Titans such as the Harridan, it is not their direct killing potential that is difficult.

>The Sky-Strikers are capable of biological camouflage just as sophisticated as our own stealth-suits. To make matters worse, they are able to reduce their body-temperature down to match their surroundings, and still their biological processes to the point they are nearly undetectable with any technology we possess. This allows them to stay motionless, hundreds of units in the air, for long periods of time without detection.

>In battle, this proves to be a considerable problem. Over multiple battlefields the Sky-Strikers have descended on our long-range weaponry- the most effective way of dealing with more orthodox bio-titans- and obliterated them. It appears the characteristic thick armour of their brethren has been shed in exchange for speed and offensive prowess.

>This means that even low-power weaponry is more than capable of downing or outright killing them- easier said than done when we are only made aware of the beasts moments before they descend.

>It appears these creations are designed to make up for the lack of Lictors, Mawlocks and other strains of stealth Tyranids. Creating a land-based stealth titan was clearly deemed unfeasible.

>Current counter-tactics involve constant bombardment of skies wherever troops are deployed- although this is obviously a waste of valuable resources.

>For three weeks we held out. The fortress was unbreachable, our commanders told us, nothing could break in. We only had to wait long enough for re-enforcements to arrive and break their line.

>No matter what those monsters sent our way, we pushed them back, again and again. Monsters larger than any battlesuit we could construct came at us, tried to breach the walls day and night and were pushed back by our overwhelming firepower. We would never break.

>Until we did.

>I still can't explain what happened. The thing that attacked us is like nothing we'd seen before. It defied all explanation- a thing so vast it seemed to fill the whole world.

>It was slow, cumbersome, but that just made the horror all the more intense as we saw it lumbering slowly over the horizon at us. For a day we bombarded it with everything we had, firepower that would have obliterated anything else, but it didn't even seem to slow down. A rippling field of energy surrounded it, intercepting our weapons, and anything that breached through was stopped short by a carapace thicker than any tank.

>After an eternity it arrived at our gates, barely hurt, and a single swipe of it's scythe tore through our shielding and obliterated the walls we were cowering behind. Nothing we could do even slowed it down as the breach was filled with dozens of the other, smaller bio-titans.

>We are cowering deep in the bunker now, waiting for the treacherous humans that follow the Tyranid host to root us out. I sent a message, against orders, requesting the planet be bombarded from orbit until nothing remains. I don't know if anything heard me, but maybe someone will take us seriously and turn this mad planet into a desert.

They're already allied with the other orks so I guess d100 for their enemy

If the 'Nids aren't named as yet, I'd like to suggest Destroyah as the fleet name.
Given the presence of Orks, led by a Psyker, I can imagine he saw the fleet coming, and named it as such to hype it up for Da' Boyz.
Also Destroyah ties in to the Toho naming conventions going around here.

Well, Heirophants are the obvious ones. Since the Hive-Fleet is only cranking out bio-titans though, they might end up making some new strains to fill the roles of smaller organisms. I could see a super-size Trygon being a development, or a massive pyrovore because they lack smaller feeder organisms.

>>77323617
Nids usually have spore clouds, most notably on stuff like Venomthropes or Malanthropes, but Heirophants are the only ones I can think of where they use an actual toxic gas more offensively.

Honestly, assuming we go with the 'two splinters of a huge WAAAAAGH' thing, we could have the first faction be just the leadership of that WAAAAAGH, while this one is the 'regular boyz' of the WAAAAAAGhH, grown to Nob size

That cool with everyone?

Anyways, someone roll 1d100 for loot, unless we just wanna keep it as the gargant

>>77323384
I'm actually in favor of the idea that the Hive Fleet doesn't really need feeding organisms, since they have a giant swarm of cultists ready and willing to be eaten when necessary, but titanic feeders is cool enough that I'm fully okay with this.

Actually, that's a question. How do yall think the genestealers and cultists travel with the Hive Fleet? Do they just get tugged along by tyranid full? Do they use standard stuff? Do tyranids even have ftl?

>>77324886
Well, feeding organism mainly just refers to any tyranid organism that actually has the digestive system and sustainability to actually harvest biomass once all is said and done.

>How do yall think the genestealers and cultists travel with the Hive Fleet?
I presume they would have their own fleet of more standard ships. They also might not travel with the hive fleet directly, since they may arrive to places before the fleet to weaken defenses, as well as leave before the fleet when most of the fighting is done. Tyranids do also have FTL in the form of Narvhals which have horns that manipulate gravity wells in order to hyper-accelerate the fleet towards a system.

>>77324886
>How do yall think the genestealers and cultists travel with the Hive Fleet?
I think they don't. they summon nids to the planet and get happily eaten with it

>>77325079
can nids go into warp? I know their collective mind makes such a giant presence in warp it fucks up all astropatic navigation/communication in the nearby systems, but can they actually go in there? Or survive there?

>>77325166
Nope, due to being a giant psychic cloud of interference they can't skip through space, so they use the Narvhals to become a slow-approaching doom.

>>77325166
>can nids go into warp?
Not intentionally, but they do sometimes get caught in rifts and warp storms. Hive Fleet Ouroboros is the prime example, where they showed up in M36 in the Eye of Terror because the fleet got caught up in a warp stream that brought them that far back to the past. They were also mistaken as demons, since nobody knew what Tyranids were at that point.

So they can go there, and they are capable of surviving there, but it's not something they'd have much reason to do on purpose.

>>77325079
Oooh

I like this

The cultists travel from planet to planet, preparing the world for the arrival of the Hive fleet, and just before the tyranids arrive, the cult leaves with whatever new recruits they've managed to pick up, only to come back afterwards and either scavenge or use the husk of the planet as a holy site.

>>77325395
>use the husk of the planet as a holy site
pretty sure nids leave only rocks behind. they take everything, all the water, all the air

>>77325395
also gene-stealer cults need a lot of time to really kick in. Over the course of several generations infected people become more and more mutated and nid-like, then they reach their final form and purpose: The dude who can actually be heard by hivemind. Then he calls nids. Maybe then they throw a rebellion or something, then nids arrive and eat everyone, including the cult. I'm pretty sure they actually want to be eaten by their "gods"
so the
>the cult leaves with whatever new recruits they've managed to pick up
line is veird. This "cult" is less willing participation and more parasitic infection with genetic brainwashing over the course of generations

>>77325486
>>77325638
Eh, fair enough
I thought it was som cool imagery, and it fit with what we discussed here
>>77294155
And in this writeup here
>>77310787

I think the rationale was that these weren't genestealers, they were xenos/people who saw the biotitans and worshipped them as gods or something

But yeah, lore comes first.

>>77325638
I think there is a precedent in lore for some of a cult escaping with fleeing ships to spread the cult further, but I couldn't find examples

>>77325872
>saw the biotitans and worshipped them as gods or something
still plausible, they would get eaten first probably, but hey, maybe nids decide to leave them for last or something, hive mind is rather smart(I think) and probably can make more thoughtful strategic desigion then just "eat everyone in sight immediately"
its 40keks, the setting specifically made for maximum fanfiction, don't let the lore stop you

>>77330148
Oh shit, good point anon
Honestly, I don't think this fleet is gonna need that much biomass

If it can only make biotitans, I'd think it actually goes pretty small, storing enough biomass to make the right tools for the job while only having three or four titans active at a time.

Anyways
Roll me 1d10 for craftworld biome

Bump bc I don't want this to die

>>77325638
>>77326437
I think the sheer fact that the Genestealer codex has the tactics of several major cults that have clearly lasted longer than the invasion of a single planet is enough justification to say that the Tyranids don't always end up eating all the members of the cult.
While plenty of them would be willing to throw themselves into the jaws of a nid once the fighting is over, there can be a number of reasons why members of the cult would depart. Whether it's just those who didn't fully register that it was a death cult chickening out while harboring the infection, or an intentional strategy by the cult and hivemind to continue to scout out additional worlds.
The continued existence of canon cults is enough evidence to suggest that various Hive Fleets already do this, and it isn't a stretch to say that a Hive Fleet couldn't do it even more heavily.

>>77332431
So is it just confirmed here that we're going with a Hive Fleet with a brain?
Because I'm all for that

Side note
Anyone got ideas for ork or tau fluff?
Because currently I'm blanking

>>77332899
A wargames exclusive model got me pondering extra cyberpunk flavored tau, could contrast the orks by doubling down on the wasrelander/roadwarrior theme

>>77332899
Every Hive Fleet has a brain. Granted, you wouldn't know that due to how GW writers usually depict them, but they're fully capable of planning beyond their next meal.

As far as the Tau that are in their way, I think there's already quite a bit to go on based on what's up-thread. They're focused on colonizing a sector, likely one that wasn't already inhabited, and then suddenly you've got kaijus showing up. To combat this, they focus on smaller agile scouts like Stealth suits and Pathfinders, and then use vehicles like Hammerheads to help with long-range titan killing. I'd also assume they have more success trying to repel the Tyranids in space, given the relatively small hive-fleet size and the likely presence of larger ships to help with the logistics and transport of settling citizens.
If they're lucky, they'll have one of those special railgun Tigersharks to help with bio-titan killing.

Of course, the fact that they're colonizing places and moving around so many refugees and civilians gives quite a few avenues for genestealer cultists to spread, especially since there would be more fire caste being pushed towards frontline defense and less available for internal security.

>>77333036

The giant snakebitez im thinking should go full kong. Whenever they have the gargant it's time to go fucking apeshit, the giant ass boyz as big as space marines running riot on the base tau troops and tyranid cultists while the gargant recreates godzilla vs. Kong

The deathskulls seem like they'd actually be more like attack on titan, jumping fucking everywhere and killing biotitans through the death of a thousand cuts

Apes vs monkeys I suppose

Some of the codexes are good for getting the basics, though earlier ones are often better. Stories where the writers let them win, though rare, are often a good showcase of just what a hivemind with that much biotech is capable of. The Anphelion Project is a decent example of that.

>>77333036
>You wouldn't know it from the writers, but Tyranids can make plans

>As Toho's forces began to leave the planet, they were beset by not one, but two separate Ork forces, who dubbed the Tyranids 'Da Destroyers', and began attacking them- as well as each other. The planet was caught in a three-way war, with the few remaining T'au forces caught between them and slaughtered.

>While the Tyranids had adapted remarkably to destroying Battlesuits and railguns, they were seemingly caught unaware by the arrival of the Orks. The Bio-titans that Toho utilised were not optimised for dealing with hordes of screaming greenskins.

>However, Toho swiftly adapted to the new threat, rendering down many of their older creations and re-made them into new horrors. To deal with billions of infantry required vastly different strategies compared to the highly mobile, small in number, and tactically refined T'au. For a start, Toho had extensively used biological EMP devices to disrupt T'au technology- which quickly proved useless against the Orks, who's tanks and weaponry was inexplicably immune to the effects.

>The new patterns of Bio-Titan were significantly simpler, blunter than previous. Enormous slicing claws, acid-sprayers, and spinning, chitinous rotor blades to mow down the greenskins in their thousands were all employed.

>Finally, the last tactic employed against Orks was an accidental one. As the Tyranids started to turn the tide back against the greenskins, a small, initially insignificant amount of Orks began following the titanic creatures- not as combatants, but worshippers. Not long after, green-coloured Bio-Titans (as opposed to the usual bone-and-pink) with enormous, chitinous glyphs protruding from their carapace appeared, and the number of orks following them increased dramatically.

But here, it will be...

>>77350143
>A Battle Brother from origin Chapter
How is their Founding era even unknown with this amount of stuff that should make their start easy to pinpoint?

>>77350143
>>77350174
I mean, the question here's whether it's unknown or "unknown"

Anyways, someone roll 1d100 for what this battle brother did

Rolled 87 (1d100)

>The hero was the first to face some newly discovered alien race, and ultimately responsible for its total destruction.
Centuries later, only the Chapter remembers the name of the race, so utterly was it and its works cast down.

>>77350436
The-
>>77350507
Yeah
This


Anyways
Someone roll me a d10 for codex adherence

>>77350507
Fits their Xenophobic nature, and also probably explains why there are some nice empty worlds that the Tau thought would be good to settle.

Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>77350610
Shouldn't it be the homeworld first or we're leaving it for later?
Either way, fuck Codex Astartes.

>>77350634
Guess the approach is in the way that is typical for most of the Sons of Dorn. Useful, but not a bible.

>>77350634
Wait shit you're right

Homeworld first
Roll me 1d100 for its terrain

Rolled 23 (1d100)

Rolled 24 (1d100)

>>77350832
Other Anon here: I'll roll for terrain and roll out to sleep.

>>77350903
>There are allies and enemies at the end of the rolls
This is meant to go way out of hands.

>>77350832

A jungle hive world

Noice

Someone roll 1d10 for the homeworld rule, or we can just use the 2 from earlier. Whichever yall prefer

And also, my guy, give me more than 4 minutes to respond, this ain't discord

Anyways, roll a 1d10 for codex adherence

Rolled 5 (1d10)

>Anyways, roll a 1d10 for codex adherence
Wasn't this technically rolled already? >>77350634

>>77351350
Either way it still looks like they're codex-adherent

>>77351404
True, but Imperial Fist approach sounds a bit better than Codex-thumpers.

>>77351350
>>77351316
Yep. You're right

Still, codex adherence either way

Anyways, someone roll 1d10 for combat doctrine

Rolled 10 (1d10)

>>77351477
With all the kaiju, stealthy assholes, and jumping Eldars, one can wonder what value Eldar sees in them being treated as useful rather than merely expendable.
Let's see what it is.

>>77351512
Terror tactics.

Apparently these motherfuckers are scary enough that they can make Orks and Tyranids (and tau but that's a given) feel fear.
Wow

Someone roll 1d100 for the characteristic training of this chapter

Rolled 21 (1d100)

>>77351612
How do you instill fear into orks and nids?

>>77351645
We know that Orks do not fear death, so it would have to be something... odd.

>>77351645
By being really fucking good at it, duh
But honestly, fuck if I know. Anyone got any ideas?

Anyways, Warrior angels
Combat forever huh?

Roll 1d100 for chapter beliefs

>>77351710
I remember reading Armageddon, Grimaldus explains that the greatest pain an ork can feel is losing. Maybe they purposely leave stragglers alive, giving them hope of getting back to a proper fight only but then just utterly crush them.

Rolled 91 (1d100)

>>77351778
C'mon praise Big E

>>77351799
Steel over Flesh
So we got a chapter of terror cyborgs
Probably go out of their way to make their cybernetics look as horrifying as possible

Someone roll a 1d10 for chapter strength

Rolled 5 (1d10)

>>77351841
With the terror tactic and Steel over Flesh made me think of this.

Well, at least in the case of the Tyranids, they are using cultists more extensively. The bio-titans really aren't something you can scare off though, so the marines might be a little out of their league in that department.

Terror tactics against Orks might just mean they're really good at offing Warbosses and causing confusion in the ranks.

Looks like we're gonna roll up a kabal after the guard.

Speaking of, someone roll a d10 for guard classification while I get dinner

>>77352496
Shouldn't we just start a new thread for the Guard since we're at bump limit?

Huh threads not ded, that's nice

>>77346133
Oh man I like this a lot, could honestly work for any of the factions we've rolled up except Space Marines and Eldar.

>During the siege of Althrax, the Spoopy Syborgs Spaced Marine chapter utilised extreme terror tactics against the renegades within. Only days before total destruction could be assured, the hive-city was saved by an unlikely source- the arrival of a fleeing Hive-fleet Toho, only days after their partial destruction at the hands of the T'au.

>The Space Marines were forced to turn their attention away from the city and towards the new threat, allowing the renegades to resupply and prepare themselves for a second fight.

>However, the marines, caught by surprise by the small fleet and trapped between two forces, were forced to retreat and regroup. The chapter planned to allow both enemies to destroy themselves before returning to obliterate the wounded victors. To their surprise, however, their enemies did not tear each other apart, but join forces.

>The desperate renegades, egged on by hidden Genestealer Cultists sown within their ranks, saw the Bio-Titans as true incarnations of the Emperor himself, and began worshipping them.

>The remnants of the hive-mind that remained within Toho saw that attempting to harvest the planets defences would only damage them further, and instead played into their new image. The new "Church of the Titanic" emerging on Althrax grew swiftly in power, and before the Spoopy Syborgs could return and finish the two weakened forces, they were yet again set upon by an Ork WAAAGH and forced to retreat further.

>Toho's power only grew on Althrax, creating more Bio-Titans to act as idols for the new church, communicating with the leaders of the Genestealer Cults.
