I'm now starting to think that this COIN PsyOps is like a Power Blade. Yes, it has an edge with which to cut, but it also has a power field to melt.

I sort of want to include a rumor which goes like this
>The crucifixions, the impalements, the gas and flame, all these tools of terror serve a dual purpose.
>The crucified, with their wails and pleas of merciful death, both strike horror into the hearts of those lacking faith in the Emperors's Finest, and allow for the creation of an interdiction zone as the local, leal, civilians stray away from it.
>It is also said that each cross is notched below each arm, so that if one were to turn it onto its side then it would work as a rudimentary shooting position.
>The use of toxins and promethium is not just to inspire fear at what tortures a body can endure and still grasp at life. A heretic need not die to no longer defy the Argo Brigade, simply removing their ability to resist is enough. And if the insurgents are compassionate, then they must either spend two men to care for each one, or drive a knife through each mutilated face.
>And when they realise that these vapours are most effective within cramped conditions they will favour the plains. The perfect environment to sow blooms of artillery.
>And if they scatter to the winds in fear of the holy mutilation they so rightly deserve, then the Brigade reserves it's use of mutilating agents, inviting 'them' back to working in more productive burrows, or continue working with their weakened isolated cells.
>And the impalement of heretics to the sides of vehicles is not so that heretics pause before firing upon their own. Nay! It is because so that when they are fired upon their bodies take the brunt of the impact. Meat shields! In the most literal of tenses.

Does this sound retarded or reasonable?

>Middle Lieutenant Bie Lao of the 5th Hua Yuan Exterminators tapped his fingers absentmindedly to the beat of the music blaring through the internal comms of the Taurox Prime on the wide dashboard, bobbing his head as the convoy raced past the ruined landscape, rolling fogs of gas concealing fields and fields of ruined city. The 5th Exterminators had been deployed to assist in the retaking of Calidad 8 from the Tau Empire, who had used humans insurrectionists to gain a foothold in the planet. Due to the sheer size of the manufactorum planet and the spreading rebellion, the Munitorum saw fit to deploy a second regiment to augment the mission of the unit already planetside. Apparently they had things well in hand enough that calling upon an Astartes chapter would have been unnecessary and frankly wasteful, but the 5th was already passing through the system returning to Hua Yuan after purging a planet riddled with a Genestealer cult.

>The unit in question was the 77th Argoan Peacekeeper Brigade, but everyone knew them simply as the Argo Brigade, because there wasn't any other in the known Imperium. Relentless, ruthless, and deadly, the small unit was already a quiet legend long before the Imperium had found Hua Yuan in all her festering glory. Small and well equipped, from what the young officer could tell the two units couldn't be any more different. While the Exterminators as a whole prefered to keep their operational tempo at a breakneck speed to deny the enemy time to react the Brigadiers had a patient and methodical approach to the enemy, rarely running missions back to back and almost always stopping to fortify claimed ground. Even in battle they seemed to have more in common with Necron than the Exterminators; the Exterminators sprint into enemy lines in a dazzling display of firepower and athletic coordination, disorienting and overwhelming the enemy.

>The Argives by contrast would prefer to take cover and pelt the enemy with return fire while another element executes a swift flank. Such measures often produced more enemy casualties than confirmed kills, but after seeing them after combat...Bie Lao was convinced this was by design. Nothing separated the two units more than how they saw other humans. Sure, Gardeners by and large have tremendous pride in their homeland and tend to be a little brusque towards foreigners, but if you have good music and better drink you can buy the friendship with relative ease. The Argives on the other hand only really seemed to relax around their own number, even the non-Argive Brigadiers. Towards others they seemed...almost predatory, as if constantly looking for some hidden heresy to crucify you for. In the case of the Exterminators and their Xenon, they were all lucky that it was as close a secret as it is...

>Perhaps that's what made the Lieutenant so uneasy around the Argives, not just because of their haughty attitudes or fine equipment, or even their excruciatingly boring approach to combat. It was the torture. It was almost like the Exterminator trophy hunting, Bie Lao thought as he stroked the gaunt skull fitted onto his shoulder, but it wasn't meant to show skill or status, it was to build fear. Fear and disgust. And it worked. The last thing Bie Lao wanted was to have to fight the Brigadiers and survive lest he end up upside down on a cross, or on his side with a spear lodged through his ribs. The convoy screeched to a halt as they neared a small traffic circle at the end of the dusty road. MLT Bie Lao, in the lead vehicle, hopped out of the garrish, trophy littered vehicle, hitting the ground with a hard thud. Awaiting him in the circle, where the Brigadiers.

Hey /tg/, just brought pic related to play it with my Skitarii and make a recast with resin , yet I have a few questions:
How do Imperial knights work? Can I paint it and equip it with whatever and claim it's from a made up house, like I would do with a space marine chapter? Or do I need to stick to the ones on the box?

>>53044395
>Im tired of always using (and seeing) "The Empire" or "The Kingdom" to signify the unified 'good' guys
I agree. The good guys should be The Workers' Self-Governing Collective.

>>53044395
The Collective are good neutral name. Or just stop using "evil"/"good" factions make ones that have rational views based on the circumstances of their existence.

As for armies you can't go wrong with "-ian army".

>>53044395
Isn't Empire more often used for the bad guys?

Can't offer much advice. I'm not really a creative one, sadly. Maybe some base fortification. Well I guess that would be a series of fetch quests to get the stuff to fortify with. So, eh. Maybe they have to find a way out of the zone to get some delivery from guys that don't want to enter it, and then they have to get back in. Also basically a fetch quest, but hopefully somewhat different. Dunno.
But I'd be interested to hear how you run the game. The original RPG, GURPS, some hombrew?

>>53044249
I would help, but my stalker game was based off Roadside picnic.

>>53044505
I could definitely work something in with death trucks for in and out of the zone movement, thanks for the idea.
I'm running entirely off the STALKAN RPG pdf with any further information that I need taken from my knowledge of the world/the wiki.
We will also be using a board on Tabletop Sim that while being entirely in Russian, is probably as good as it can get in regards to visuals.

>>53044052
I would think that in a society with that sort of necromancy it would be more common. The souls of learned men would probably be commonly kept as necro-assistants, paying for their continued existence with knowledge, as such, there would be scribe-guilds that groomed men for a lifetime just so they would make wonderful advisers in death. The majority of the original caste of undead servants would still likely be unwilling necro-assistants, created as a sort of ultimate form of slavery. The rich would demonstrate their wealth by the types of necro-assistants they could bring to bear for parties and other functions, with archaic vernacular, manners, and dress being a sign of undead tutelage, and by extension, wealth.

In essence, such wraiths would take the place of eunuchs in eastern societies: learned, respected, but never in positions of great power.

>>53044052
Undead would probably make a great labor force. Put a harsh crime policy in place, where if they are to be put to death, they'd are raised and put to work. Mindless undead don't get tired, and can accomplish simple tasks.

What would the order that keeps them in check called/do? Who are the people that stops the undead from wholly taking over?

Radically puritan.

Our Barbarian had to stay behind, because he became a daddy

Our de-facto leader decided to throw a spear at the face of somebody I was trying to talk down from a fight.

I ran from the fight, cuz fuck the rest of them, they can deal with the consequences of that asshole.

That campaign died a few weeks later cuz the DM was shit.

In my current campaign, my character has elected to leave another player behind while they were downed, but somebody else always saves them anyways.
