Editing The /tg/ Heresy (section)

=The Imperials=

[[File:Aquila by Hidet1001.jpg|200px|right]]
Right now we're looking at the forces of the Great Crusade: that means Space Marine Legions, Titan Legions and Imperial Army.  Making those gives quite a few clues about the Space Marine Chapters and the Imperial Guard, so some progress has been made there.  Rogue Traders start in the 30Ks, so they can come too.  The Inquisition starts at the end of the Heresy, but because it was set up by Malcador that event is "hands off" - you can assume that Inquisitors will exist and be as powerful and idiosyncratic as in the OU.  We also expect to see [[Rule 63|Sisters of Battle]] in due course, but we haven't got up to establishing their context (how the Imperial Cult becomes the Ecclesiarchy and what happens next) yet.


==Space Marine Legions==
[[File:Mahrine by joazzz2-dax65ky.jpg|right|240px]]
{{Main|Legiones Astartes (Hektor Heresy)}}

The /tg/ Heresy project has created eighteen new Legions led by eighteen new [[Primarchs (Hektor Heresy)|Primarchs]] and assumes that two [[Blam|"went missing"]] due to their heretical actions early in the [[Great Crusade (Hektor Heresy)|The Great Crusade]].  Each of the Primarchs created in the project is intended to be an original creation (or at least an original mixture!), rather than a "what-if?" based on a character from the OU.

'''Successor Chapters'''
{{Main|Space Marine Chapters (Hektor Heresy)}}

We're still working to flesh out the SPEHSS MEHREEN side of the AU with more Successors.  You can help!

==Imperial Army==
{{Main|Imperial Army (Hektor Heresy)}}
A few things to remember about the Imperial Army:

* Firstly, it's way crazier than the Imperial Guard.  The Great Crusade picked up whatever crazy dudes it found and sucked them off their homeworlds so that they could make trouble on the Imperium's behalf, rather than in newly-Pacified territories.  IA units could be armed with anything from cold steel to high-tech pseudo-power armour and genehancements.

* A lot of the established "Imperial Guard" equipment isn't used.  Not only is there no standardisation, but the mighty flashlight hasn't come into common use.  (The "default" option is the autogun, but don't feel bound by that!)

*The only real "rule" for the Imperial Army is that regiments ought to be about three thousand men, because this is the standard transport capacity during the Great Crusade.

* Have [[Fun]]!

==The Mechanicum==

The tech priests of the AU have a different, but still tragic, trajectory.  The fanatical Fabricator-General [[Kalkas Tygian]] devotes himself utterly to the Emperor and Orthodoxy, but gripping the Mechanicum so tightly causes many to slip through his fingers!  Of course, [[Mars (Hektor Heresy)|Mars]] still has giant stompy walkers:


'''Titan Legions'''

[[File:Giantwalker by joazzz2-d797a03.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Imperator Titan]]

The Titan Legions were second only to the Space Marines in the [[Great Crusade (Hektor Heresy)|Great Crusade]], and that largely because these immense war engines lacked the Astartes' mobility.  The greatest Legions were the three pillars of the so-called ''Triad Ferrum Morgulus'', based on [[Mars (Hektor Heresy)|Mars]]:

*'''Legio Ignatum''', the Fire Wasps, who fought for Kalkas Tygian in the war on Mars and lost many of their god-machines to the corrupting touch of Vilyon Luthier.

*'''Legio Mortis''', the Death's Heads, battle-brothers to the Entombed and firm Loyalists.

*'''Legio Tempestus''', the Storm Lords, who throw in with the Traitors.

But there were many Titan Legions native to other Forge Worlds:

*'''[[Legio Antsar]]''', "The Conquerors" are based on the Forge World [[Al-Sherar]].  They played a major role in the Great Crusade across the Segmentum Pacificus.

*'''[[Legio Canem]]''', "The Pit Hounds" hail from [[Cairéal]], near to the [[Thunder Kings]]' homeworld of [[Alessia]].  Their destiny was long entwined with that of the sons of Brennus.

*'''[[Legio Cataegis]]''' "The Hurricane Legion" are native to the Forge World [[Ghalhal]].  Made up mostly of smaller Titans, Legio Cataegis was surprisingly nimble in the field.

*'''[[Legio Cauteris]]''' "The Iron" were once the noble defenders of the Forge World [[Massalia]].  They were corrupted by [[Aubrey The Grey]] in the early days of the Heresy and committed a great many atrocities against the defenders of the Imperium.

*'''[[Legio Igneus]]''' Also known as the "Iron Mountain" legion are native to the Forge World of [[Olympia]]. Though they officially only have 8 Titans under their control, only they know of secret underground manufactorums from which they break free of the oppression of the Adeptus Mechanicus and let their minds wander free as they create new and more destructive variants to the Avatars of the Machine God.

* '''[[Legio Nova]]''' "The Doomed Stars" are the legion and rulers of the forge world [[Ferrax]]. Their two chief principes reign as kings over a planet devoted to serving the titan-lords in a repressive hierarchy. Since Al-Sherar first began building its realm, Legio Nova has held a grudge against the hegemony established; an animosity unleashed in the Hektor Heresy.

*'''[[Legio Picus]]''' "The Woodpeckers" hail from [[Werkerde]] in the Ultima Segmentum.

*'''[[Legio Unceliga]]''' "The Giants of the Deep" come from the mighty ship-building Forgeworld of [[Chakaris]] in the Elume Elish region close to Terra.

*'''[[Legio Maleficarum]]''' "The Hammer of the Witches" are the dreaded psi-titans of the lost world Tyche, who bring to bear the powers of the Warp against Chaos.


'''Knight Houses'''
{{Main|Knight Houses (Hektor Heresy)}}

Knights are feudal mecha warriors.  What else do you want?  Get in there!

==Imperial Agents==

'''Rogue Traders'''

{{Main|Rogue Traders (Hektor Heresy)}}

Rogue Traders were quite an important part of the Great Crusade, charging out ahead of the Expedition Fleets and <s>fleecing the locals</s> preparing the way for Compliance actions.  If you fancy writing some cool rebel who plays by their own rules and mucks around with xeno tech, Komra mercenaries and all the rest of that stuff the Imperium won't let you have, Rogue Trading is the game for you!

'''Inquisitors'''
Not quite in the story as yet, but don't let that hold you back.  You can take it that the OU Malcador origin applies, but things diverge as the timeline moves onwards.

* [[Ankorial Telesius]] of the Ordo Xenos, particularly notable for his actions against WAAAGH! The Beast.
