I remember I saw a meme talking about how there must be forge worlds entirely devoted to paint production given how much of it the Imperium goes through for all their vehicles and marines

And I’ve always thought Gryphonne IV had the coolest symbol of any forge world. I think we should combine this and make our so far unnamed forge world’s main export paint and have the logo be Gryphonne IV but holding a paint brush.

>Unorthodox: Casting aside many ancient Mechanicus traditions in favour of their own, this Forge World diverges significantly from the norm.
Our Forge World believes in the worst thing possible, that there are colours beyond Red to paint our war machines with.
In its halls of colour pickers, it is whispered there you can find heretical choices, such as "Death Guard Green", and even some studied from xenos, a word you heard under hushed breath, "Wraithbone", but the co-conspirator who mentioned it was too not right in the head to tell you where to find it... you see the halls are dizzyingly endless and the difference in colour, so minute, it sends a human mad to find that exact shade of purple to match the drapes.
Hereteks are rumoured to roam the halls, after "The Colour of Warp", as if such a thing exists... one supposes it would be catalogued here by indefatigable servitors.

Could this mean we have the widest range of camo colours available to the Imperium?

>>93034299

I can already fucking visualize their designs too. Drab brown & white clothes stained with numerous paints, the thicker the paint layer the more senior the priest. Smaller sects within the forge world focus on certain colors and stain their clothes to match. Machines turned into canvasses for artmagi and the armaments of the skitarii are loaded with colorful yet dangerous pigments. Paint, too, can be a weapon of war, whether it's corrosive yellows made from acidic subtances or radioactive blues crafted from metal dusts that turn the battlefield into a beautifully uninhabitable wasteland.

Delta-Theta 10
>"The Omnissiah's brush."

An unorthodox forge world originally founded during the Great Crusade for the express purpose of producing paint for the IIIrd legion. Possessing a unique STC fragment for a special paint that never: chips, flakes, fades, or needs to be reapplied. Today it now produces paint for numerous chapters. Its specialization in paint has also turned into an obsession, possessing vast farms of plants and animals under their forges and always searching for new pigment sources across the galaxy, they can produce any color imaginable in the form of this much sought after paint.

Given its age and specialization Delta-Theta 10 has endured many great hardships over the millennia. Most recently when the Great Rift opened, the Emperor's Children took the opportunity to invade in search of a specific shade that adorns their oldest armour and vehicles they are unable to replicate. Fighting is still ongoing as the loyalists await reinforcements from the wider Imperium, but so far the skitarii forces of Delta-Theta 10 have healed strong in the defense of their factories and homes.

Do we want to have knight houses and/ or titan legions or just keep it skitarii?

>>93036372
>Do we want to have knight houses
Maybe a loose affiliation of freeblades who come to receive a bitchin paint job, which they receive in exchange for pledging themselves to a Delta-Theta's defense for a time. This is where you go to get the knight equivalent of an airbrush job of a badass wizard on your van, they'll do whole murals on the carapace.

While officially Delta-Theta 10 possesses no knight houses, there is ALWAYS a queue of freeblades or on some rare occasions entire knight houses somewhere in system waiting to get their chassis painted by the legendary artists of the world. Many of the most unique custom pieces of art adorning knights come from this one forge world and its creative tech priests minds.

They are ready to defend the planet at a moment's notice, either out of some sense of duty/ honor or a shot at a potential discount on their paint jobs.

I feel like it would be half in house half imported, like perhaps there's an agriworld in the same system that does the farming of pigment plants while DT 10 does the snails and other plants & animals that don't require sunlight.

A mining world that ships off the "useless" minerals that don't immediately help with killing things could work. Delta-Theta 10 isn't UNINHABITABLE, it's simply not fit for every method of material production. Maybe to go with the snails and other plant life, there's underwater labs that use and preserve the sea's natural resources, such as sulfur vents and algae. It could also be why they might seem borderline heretical, they didn't immediately strip the world bare of resources and actively tries to keep what few farmable resources there are intact. That's like, 3 billion bolter rounds they could've extracted

>>93060257
It's a two-camp idea for me.

Where one is the symbol of seniority where there is more mixes and splashes of paint on experts and HQ's.

The other is that it's Ad Mech and thus Mechanicus religion of sorts where perhaps the inverse is better. Those who boast clean robes are seen as those good enough to afford such luxuries or their skill in keeping them clean in a massive factory where paint spillage is common place and seen as part of the training like it's a Kung Fu training ground. The stains on your robe, from your art or fighting or inability to repair machines show your experience and the state of your robes and mechanics can be shown. Human organics are frowned up because they are either weak to some pigments or the obvious 'it flakes off due to skin shedding' and thus seen as something rookies have to hide more of their mistakes. Pristine robes and clean mechanics show one who is clearly able to avoid any kind of spillage or mistakes or the like amongst their fellow acolytes as an example to strive towards. It's however a dying practice as even some teachers who like to bear the some of their mistakes to seem more humble and grounded compared to those who seek status and praise and come to the Forgeworld for internships to bring back to their own Forge Worlds to hone their talents further to obtain greater skill and knowledge that can be found there.

Basically, Imagine a Kung Fu school but it's Golden Demon Painter Master Class. Paint splashes come in all sizes and colors that it isn't just the front of your robes getting dirty; but the entire place drips with paints, splashes with paint, your higher ups carry out paintball guns to pelt you with if you have failed in your duties or training. Menials/worker class drones are encouraged to have the same mindset, but it's not as pushed as those who are actively training to be Tech Priests of Delta-Theta

Is there anything inherent to the planet that makes it special as a forge world? Something like Lucius' artificial core.
Colossal archaeotech vats? Natural waterways across the surface repurposed into paint aqueducts?

>>93060997
It's dedication is towards producing and maintaining the paint standards of the Imperium and supplies most of the known galaxy with overoptimal output. It's essentially one of the oldest Forge Worlds that served the Emporers Children alongside it's normal if strange paints to the greater war effort for the flashiest of Space Marine armor.

The issue is despite how great that output is, only 10% is dedicated to warfare and is mostly dedicated to arming the Skitarri forces to send out "Hunting operations" for rare pigments to complete a century old request for a painted portrait by the Archmagos himself for a Planetary Governer. It's workers experience constant chemical haze as the Ad Mech here are known to never actively search for lost technology outside of local recovery operations with no active importance placed towards such a task and instead rake in cash with demands for custom paintjobs with blessed paint that doesn't ruin as often when soaked in Ork blood. All manner of the arts can be built and crafted here according to fitting specifications such as statues to the Emporer to be blessed and installed by the Ecclisiarchy, or specialized barrel designs for weapons or whatever. They are essentially a powerful but useless forgeworld whose value is only seen by the highest nobility of any race. Dark Eldar raiders, Ork Speed Kultz, and the Emporers Children are known constant foes while they maintain good relations with most of the Imperium if lacking true purpose as one of the oldest remaining Forge Worlds that (heroically fought against their former allies, The Emporers Children/is working hard to pay for the sins of joining the traitors and supporting their allies, The Emporer Children) during the Horus Heresy.

I'd say nah, but having one of the nearby planets be subject to such dangers would be fine. Like, Perhaps a nearby pleasure world dedicated to the arts and a retreat for the Imperiums Nobles in the local segmentum where the craze of the "Mystery Iron Statues of the local jungles" lead to an attempt to contain and stop a tombworld from awakening and it is drawing a local dynasty to claim the lost relics.

Eh, I like the idea that the forgeworld is near-perfect if strange because most production is just paint, art supplies and all sorts of nods to the hobby and art in general.

They are strange because they wouldn't really focus on grabbing Necron tech to study, they are focused on painting and production. They go hunting not for ancient tech but new pigment sources and blends to maintain their color library. While still following the rules of Mars, they are not bound to them and will add decorative flourishes and finishes to their designs to sell to nobles wanting their personal guard to have blinged out Imperial weaponry

Maybe a necron lord who was an artist in life came across Delta Theta and is camped on a nearby moon or tomb world just watching them paint. Like the equivalent of a world class painter watching kids draw and being fascinated with what weird ass finger paintings they come up with. Occasionally he intervenes in battles, maybe roughs up the admech to push them out of art blocks, all the while making sure other dynasties don't attack.

A single manufactorum in the southern hemispehere still produces the vehicles that this forgeworld was founded for under the careful watch of Fabricator Locii Tibizx. In the pursuit of metal treatments to improve resistance against corrosion and battle damage on these vehicles, this forgeworld's true calling was discovered. Fabricator Locii Tibizx's methods while effective, are unusual. Pict-screens within the headrests of pilot's chair, multiple vox-casters mounted on the external hull, servitor-assisted suspension, and a myriad of other unusual options. But nothing can be said to detract from the skills of his painters. Leman Russ tanks awash in a spectacular array of colors, Rhinos with racing stripes, and the White Scars seek bikes from this Forgeworld specifically once every millenium.

>10% of the planets production is local defense production of weapons, vehicles and armor for the local PDF's of nearby planets.

>They are kept afloat by having friends in the highest of places in the Imperium

It could be that at first clean robes was a sign of seniority but as the old guard died off the newer ones took stains as a symbol of experience. It's not just from messes, it's from wiping your hands, from cleaning your brush, from toiling for hours on a piece. You are as much of a canvas as the machines you work on, each stain a moment in the tapestry of your lifetime devoted to art and steel.

We are essentially a large scale, well run but highly unfocused ancient Forge World that is addicted to huffing paint with relics such as "The Paint commissioned by the Emperor of Terra before the Horus Heresy" (Remains unfufilled because Malcador had yet to sign the paperwork and so it's been sitting in the warehouse for 10,000 years. Has been the target of theft by 5 different Alien races and 4 traitor warbands for some reason.)

They use paint, their ships use paint, they most likely make specific request of the most esoteric psycho-active pigments for preparations in Titan laboratories… so probably a cordial relationship with some friction over the pigment thing. They grey knights must pay handsomely to cover the slight of demanding materials to do their own painting, a privilege no other faction gets.

Part of me finds artist tech-priests oxymoron. Like they're careful with the colors for the sake of the machine spirit, but it doesn't ring mechanicus if they're painting landscapes and portraits.
Maybe if it's for the sake of preserving knowledge of how something looks? I think there's no color screens in the grim dark future.

Some suggestions:
War campaigns. Because DT-10 has many good reasons to fight!
>Delythian Tyrranid Swarm in the Miganglo Sektor was erradicated and harvested for BPV-1009c and BPV-1007.d-f, photoluminescent pigments of an unknown composite that prove to keep their luminosity even in harsh condition.
>The hunt for an Necron Tomb Ship of the Cairn Class in the VT93 Alpha Secor. A major space fleet campaign that was supposed to end in a major blackstone harvest together with a support from forge world Agrippa. The operation was an attempt to circumvent tensions with Mars in the rather delicate topic of Blackstone aquisition for the creation of MPV-009v pigment. Major failure due to the desintegration of the Cairn Class ship after it took heavy damage.
>Overtake of a minor aggricultural Tau colony. The Tau provided usefull base for a servitor workforce to start a mass production of a BPV-0098c based on a local plant. BPV-0098c proved to be the best red undertone to paint seals of purity in artworks.
>Capture of the "Emporors Fervor", an Adepta Sororitas Destroyer, in order to conserve several artworks embedded inside its altars and basilicas. These proved to be original artworks created by remembrancers during the time of the great crusade.

Also, what do you guys think about DT-10 having a major collection of art to copy/learn from and also having an ass load of servitors made from remembrancers and artists? Like, DT-10 having a dark past of making remambracers disappear during the heresy because of their worth for the art.

So, the vehicles are not bulk produced but the base forms of them also aren't hand-crafted. Does this mean that the various patterns of vehicles produced by this world are treated more akin to a canvas? Like if they want to paint their equivalent to the Classical style, they go for X pattern which has specific types of guns laid out in one manner, while if they want to do their equivalent to a Cubist style, they want Y pattern which has different guns laid out in a different manner?

>Independent - Paying cursory fealty to Mars, this Forge prefers to stay independent of the wider Mechancius, to the point of arousing suspicion and the occasional attempt at investigation by Martian loyalists. Exactly how successful these investigations were are up to you. Alternatively, the Forge may just be too isolated without any suspicions involved. May automatically be taken with Silent Forge.

Seems to pretty strongly vibe with how people have been thinking about the place. Maybe pushing it a tad further along? Maybe we align a bit more with Cawl as a side effect of him being a really consistent customer because he bought a lot of different colors of paint from us for his projects, unlike the rest of the Mechanicus which taints us by association for the more puritans? Perhaps not aligning all fully with Cawl either because he's only been sticking to standard red robes.

Yeah, that slipped my mind when I put it up when I was busy jumping tabs to get all that compiled. Though since the Forge World has been around for 10k years because of our Great Crusade roll, we could have the Freeblades be Long Standing/Ancient Friends and Emperor's Children be Long Standing/Ancient Enemies, and we could use Rolls to determine some more recent friends and enemies that have come up during the current leadership's tenure.

can this be our forgeworld's representative from the ecclesiarchy?

>>93083511
Cawl himself does not care, but our forge leans to his side because Primaris Space Marine Power Armor is larger, leading to increased demand in all paints used as chapter colors.

>>93083784
Don't they also have larger vehicles as well in order to fit the bigger power armor?
Wait...
There's forge worlds that put STCs in altars or vaults for worship rather than actively making use of them in manufacturing processes (some perhaps due to not having access to produce them but wanting to keep them, others just to worship)...
Would this Forge World hoard STC blueprints and fragments for smaller vehicles that they never make use of because that means less room for paint?

>>93083851
YES! But it is a heavily guarded secret and over the last 2 millenia at least 3 inquisitors had fatal accidents in our vaults.

there could be forbidden pigments//resins accessible only from nurgles garden of some other heretical source. unscrupulous smugglers would have to go to great lengths to acquire such specimens.

>>93083899
A fleet was once sent into Nurgle's Garden to try to "rescue" Isha, because a faction wanted to have the Goddess of Life for the sole purpose of forcing her to create new plants and animals that could be made into new paint varieties. It failed, but they are very interested in these reports of the Emperor setting Nurgle's Garden on fire.

>>93083899
it is made from the same kind of exhausted source as the rejuvenation treatments in The Great Work.
Nobles literally die because we really like certain shades.

>Skitarii Mars Pattern - A force of enhanced and well-equipped warriors, organised and augmented along the lines of their Martian forebears.

So we just get the generic standard skitarii.

>>93084374
no, they are standard skitarii with AMAZING paint jobs. if you look onto it at the right angle on a world with a clear sky, you can see the reflection of the empyrean in it

I always liked the look of blued steel and think it would contrast with the red robes.

>>93083327
The Emperor's Children target them solely for their unique shade of purple paint

>>93091345
Just make a new thread when this one expires, archiving this one on sup/tg/. It was what was done with the Hua Yuan Exterminators. Have the starter posts summarize what has been done so far.

>>93091825
does suptg auto-archive or do you still have to manually input threads to archive them?
