>>49985806
There is no inheritance structure; when a Knight and title become "up for grabs", they are fought over until someone holds it by might makes right.

neato!

Ok, now what people have the right to fight over the Knight.
>Succession Laws. Who is eligible to inherit? (D6)

Rolled 5 (1d6)

>>49985856
There can be only one!

>>49985934
Meritocracy: Set of inheritors is entire family; in addition, there is some process by which non-family members can become eligible as inheritors, although their families do not, so the inheritance will always return to the family eventually (a deceased non-family member counts as both sibling and child to the family member they inherited their titles or Knights from, but their family does not). Typical processes include being rewarded for doing extremely well in military service or being voted in by the family.

I guess it's family vs family to see who get's to pilot the Knight(s)

That's better!

Amazon-Cognatic: Only females are eligible; if no suitable females exist in the current set of inheritors, males in the current set are eligible; only go to the next eligible set of inheritors when the entire current set is dead.

Under Strength: The House is recovering from a defeat or accident that occurred several decades ago, or has recently suffered heavy, but not irrecoverable losses. It is probably at a minimum of half strength, and should return to nominal strength within several decades. Connections with the Mechanicus may accelerate this process.

"I'll be bored but I can look fabulous while I'm bored"?

>>49987400
The name is Tibris, it was colonized during the golden age as a tactical staging world to manufacture the knights from, during the era of strife it was befallen upon by orks, reduced to its wild and barbaric state, the ad mech found it during the crusades, possibly under Ferrus or Perterabo, the old factories and facilities fired up under mechanics supervision and the natives trained up into a fighting force, integrating their own cultural beliefs under strict control by the tech priests, this control has become lax overy time as they become more self sufficient

>>49987403
I picture something like the pre-revolutionary French Court, where instead of fights (these ladies seem like they disdain melee weapons) there is intrigue, politicking, and the occasional duel with plasma pistols at dawn.

They probably primarily fight Orks on principle. I mean, look at those hideous brutes, with their thuggish choppas and heretical Meks.
Disgusting!

Basically, Knight House Ohohoh!

>>49987487
Oh! Aesthetic idea, where the usual gold fillagree would be, are similarly shaped glowing tron lines

>>49987518
any particular reason?

>>49987487
I like the idea. Except it's Feral world, so it's... what's ranged weapon in that time? Rocks and slings? Or they use regular guns because they're tight with AdMech?

>>49987543
It's pretty and distinct looking

>>49987554
javelins, atlatls, possibly bows or even crossbows, whatever the mechanicum scrounges up for them, flintlock muskets or other primitive firearms- plenty of options.

>>49987554
The locals probably use longbows and usual medieval stuff.

The Knights probably are the only ones with access to AdMech toys, in order to keep the planetary governor in charge and stomp down any serf rebellions, hence my idea for an enforced decadent French court, because this time there's actually no way for any revolutionary guillotine parties to form.

>>49987609
Can't believe I forgot about javelins, kek.
>>49987618
Knights are rulers of planets, right?

>>49987686
Not necessarily.
More like noble orders under a different noble (the governor) who reports to the greater Imperium..

>>49986330
>Do these boots look good with my knight titan?

>>49987400
Since it's a feral world, would it be feasible that the local infrastructure rebelled against the people and only the local knight forces were able to save them?
This led them to become weary of technology which wasn't very helpful since the amount of folks who could repair the titans dwindled.
Nearby orks noticed their relatively shitty defenses and their knights so they engaged in a waagh.
Most of the original knight forces were defeated in a surprize attack with the civilians having to fend for themselves.
As women and children had been taken to the nearby garrison to be protected a group of farm girls got into the knights with milk girl Ingrid taking the lead of now female controlled knights.
Raging amazons blasted through the gates and beset the orks like a group of angry house wives.
Orks were beaten back out of the world but the devastation caused the tech level to fall even further.
When big E and his crusade came around they discovered a feral society of barbarians ruled by matriarchs who handled boring paper work of the world while their daughters and sisters (and rarely sons) strode around in knights that had seen their better days.
Emperors armies brought them the cog boys who fixed the mighty machines and were treated like grand wizards for doing it, with reverence.


How does this sound like?

>>49987945
mix with >>49987464 and I say we're golden

Can we get a drawfag in here? We need to make our heraldry

>>49988168
What would it be like?
A giant cog in the background and a local beasts skull on the foreground?

>>49988201
I'm seeing some manner of feline like reptile, much like a Gorganopsid, on a heraldic shield style coat of arms alongside the mechanics cog and the Imperial Aqualla

>>49988201
>>49988255
And colours, a lot of it. Like everywere

>>49988269
for French I see Navy Blue and Gold as a focus color with some pearl white hilights

>>49988306
Maybe some green as well? To remember the "dark times" when the Orks attacked?

>>49987686
>>49987726
The planetary governor should be the head knight. It would take a pretty pathetic group of knight houses to not be in control of whatever world they reside in.

As for being on a feral world, that's the peasants lot, for sure. The knights may or may not live like that. Depends on how you wanna fluff it. I say do it the way Space Marines go about it. They live in fortresses doted about the land and sometimes recruit from the population. They may have even adopted some of the mannerisms even.

Should we base the planet of a IRL culture. Or do you guys think we could make our own?

>>49988908
Well, we have in our hands a planet run by barbarian babes in giant robots.

K so I've had a couple of ideas regarding the fashionista stuff. We could go the old "The fact that I came out of that battle with as much paint on my knight as it went in with shows my prowess blahblahblah".

or If the knights were getting run down and shitty looking before the Ad-mech fixed them up, it could be a statement that their knights and therefore the house will never return to the way they were during the dark days before the emperors arrival and shall always remain loyal to the imperium

>>49995945
that could work

>>49996578
Which one?

>>49997072
I like the 2nd one

>>49992808

Perhaps seniority could be identified by who has the most ostentatious and overly-decorated knight?

>>49998929
Perhaps it's like the Custodes, except instead of getting names they get prettier stuff to put on their knights

>>50000163
I like it, keep this thread going.

>>49986794
They use their Lancers like an Iajutsu user: Ending the fight in one masterful stroke.

During the Crusade, the lady knights fought numerous times alongside the 3rd Legion.

>>50000966
Also to make some sense of having a ranged combat preferred doctrine while favoring the Lancers, we could say that Lancers are favored because of their grace and agility. Even though most close combat is frowned upon, Lancer pilots are seen as an elite that handle the tough close combat jobs with ability and poise.

>>50001026
They still have some gifts/relics from their time crusading with the 3rd back in the day.

The relics are both a source of pride and shame for them too this day.

The most important was said to be from Fulgrim himself: The Mirror Lance, a power lance so shined and lustered it was like a mirror.

>>50000163
The decorations the Knights are festooned with are earned for deeds of valour but their position, general appearance and what the object actually is depend on three elements.

What the decoration actually is (massive adamantium purity seal, massive adamantium harbour seal etc)is based upon the actions that the knight took which earned them the accolade, The general appearance is dependant on who the thing was done to (Orkz Eldar etc) and the position is dictated by what the end results of the action were (planet taken for the imperium, recovering a lost world, saving a bunch of space marines etc).

These objects often belong to the knights owners not the machines themselves, though some machine do have their own personal trinkets. If a knight dies their accolades are removed from their war-machine and enshrined with them in their tomb

>>50001110
in the event that the body the pilot/the remains of a knight cannot be recovered after they fall in battle the house has a skeletal statue made of the pilot and weld crude renditions of the knights decorations onto the statue.

If the body can be recovered but the knight can't the skeleton of the pilot is at the center of the statue

>>50001026
They've also got those shields that would make it less likely for their paint to get scratched

>>49990949
technically very good work, but flames? meh..

>>49992808

>>49995945
Would it be possible that they also add more decoration to their Knights as a way of showing prestige?

Such as every new knight pilot adds something, and each kill gets something else?

After 10K years these knights would be pretty binged up

Do you mean a theme for names in general, or for the planet, names, titles, etc?

>>49985448
Wait what.

Imperial Knights live in houses?

Do they have gigantic houses for the gigantic knights?

Do they have a hive world of their own with gigantic homes on its surface?

>>49987554
Mate, I like FFG's description of Feral Worlds.

Basically tech is treated as dangerous and respected and feared in about equal proportions as they all fight eachother.

Primitive Worlds are the ones with atlatls and all that.

Feudal Worlds are the ones with literal Knights and plate armor and such.

>>50012956
Imperial Knights are literal Knights, anon. Nobility with Plate Armor, Steeds, and Weapons.

In this case, substitute all of that with awesome giant robots.
