Lo brothers it has been many a lunar cycles since we gathered to share the exploits of our chapters among the stars. I'm rolling up a chapter as we speak, using the heresy mod. What legion should OP make, and how should he handle his sector?
Also, I shall post screens so /tg/ may help police the sector as they will.
So I would prefer to play an already created legion, just wondering which one /tg/ favors most. BEHOLD CHARACTER CREATION
Bump so we can get some people in this thread
>>50205195
>which one /tg/ favors most.
Ultras, obviously.
>>50205350
Ughhhh ultras are so boring in CM, especially as a legion
>>50205175
You should make loyalist IW, and purge all so if heretics come through they will not have enough men to recruit to win. Also mass whirlwind and terminators with cyclone missile launchers
>>50205587
This is not a bad idea. Loyalist IW's it is.
OP has to do some morning work around the house, but he shall return to this thread with screencaps. Keep it up!
>>50205587
Adding to this, I'll have the IW annex all the planets available in the system, including forgeworlds. That will greatly anger the inquisitor ECT. But fuck that guy. Perturabo deserves his own 500 worlds
>>50205669
Annex? As in make recruiting worlds?
>>50205175
heresy mod? where?
>>50205678
Annex as in assassinating the imperial governors and capturing the planet, I'll make fortress worlds everywhere.
>>50205840
It allows you to make MK3 armor, Terminator armor, MK4, and a few other things. You would normally only get them if you took the crafters perk.
Op has returned and is going through character creation right now to make the Iron Warriors Legion. Screenshots soon
>>50205840
It took me a while to set everything up and it was ages ago, but I could probably upload my folder straight to mega or something and it would run fine.
So here we have the legion as I could best represent them.
Paragon to represent that Perturabo is Primarch level.
Siege Masters, Bolter Drilling, are self explanatory.
Kings of space to round out the knack for void warfare.
Psyker Intolerant, Shitty luck, self explanatory.
Sieged represents the decimation, reducing marine numbers. And of course tech heresy.
Moving on to chapter organization!
Flagship and recruitment information.
Think I managed to get the colors close enough, and a few of the unit names, things are shaping up.
Basically free of mutation, disposition towards the rest of the sector.
And finally perturabo himself. Time to take over the sector.
>>50207600
>Master of the Fleet Kyr Vahlen
OP, you have no idea what you're getting into.
>>50207665
I don't understand this one, I thought they were Sworn brothers with the Mechanicum
>Honourable Soulaka
Damn
>>50207688
Kyr's theme!

Hatred (those fucking backstabbing Alpha snakes REEEEEEEEEEEE)
>>50207706
Thanks for the music.
Now gentlemen, we have the sector at hand. The small blue blip denotes the iron warriors home fleet. In the north-west of the sector there are two tau planets, and two tau fleets. A very worthy foe.
All of the green planets you see are Ork held.
What shall the Iron Warriors do? Head straight for the Tau held area of the sector, or purge their way through the Greenskin core worlds?
As /tg/ decides. I will outfit the troops, and requisition ships and equipment.
>>50207331
Do so please
And this is the current legion disposition. What should we focus on training first? Raw Recruits? or more vehicles?
>>50207748
>>50207748
>All of the green planets you see are Ork held.
Anon, take them down now. All of them or else this.
>>50207748
>We must attack the orks. Remember our older battles, how I was right then. I am right now.
>>50207765
Let me post some clearer pictures on just how dead that one Anon was.
>>50207706
That's probably a misstep on my end, I wanted something that represents perturabos technical expertise. But I couldn't fit another advantage in to make them mechanicum brothers.
>>50207688
Oh I have a good idea.
>>50207757
Give me one second to figure out megaupload and I'll post a link.
>>50207783
Remember that Orks are the most dangerous thing in this game. Black Crusades come second, and the fabled Hive Fleet is probably somewhere in between those two.
>>50207764
How about some artillery or tanks?
>>50207765
>>50207780
Then it's settled. We will trounce the greenskins and remove them from the sector. Give OP a moment to get this uploaded, and another moment to get all the needed currency and gear made.
>>50207801
Can do, we'll get more vehicles for each company and then move to recruitment.
>>50207813
You better remove Orks. Not even the Sub-Atomic Guardsmen could save your hide completely if you fail.
/tg/ where should I upload this file???
So here we have our armor. I was thinking assault marines in MK.3, Tacs in Mk.4, Devastators in Mk.6. Veterans in Artificer armor. Terminator suits are for my iron circle stand-ins and perty himself.
I need to ask something.
What does the "Heresy?" button in the options do? I pressed it and nothing happened.
>>50207927
Seeing this would make any Magos squeal in delight.
>>50207972
Allows you to recruit past the soft cap of 1000 or something like that. But seriously, wheres a filehosting site I can just drag this folder too? or I could email it if any anon is willing to drop their email. Just throw all the files in a folder.
>>50207987
Can't be, new to the thread, but I've recruited past that without resorting to Heresy. Inquisition dipped my loyalty a bit on an inspection, but that was it.
It is tedious going, getting all the different marines geared up. But I am almost finished... look who I found
>>50208248
Then I am honestly not sure, I usually just use it as a on/off switch for being a heretic.
>>50208284
Watch that standard bearer. Don't let him become a preacher marine.
>>50208284
How'd you boost everyone's XP like that?
>>50208448
"Eberus" Erebus's goofy but lovable battle-brother.
>>50208453
I didn't the marines in later company's are always available to be promoted.
>>50208506
Not in my games. Now some of it might be because I picked idfferently, or I'm playing a different version, but like here in the pic; you can't be promoted until you hit 60xp, and I'm not sure why your guys all have that.
>>50208539
It's possible it's from sieged, or it might be the Heresy mod that I'm using. Are you using heresy mod?
We've finished outfitting all companies.
The only thing left to do is wait for the rest of the fleet to arrive from the forgeworlds, and then we strike at the green skins.
Added landraiders and predator detachments to each company.
Tacs: Mk4 and Stormbolters+Chainswords.
Assault Marines: Power axe+stormshield+Iron halo Mk3
Devastators: A good mix of all heavy weapons, one whole company with flame weapons as well for the green skin menace.
Veterans: Artificer armor+powerfists+stormshields.
Once we've loaded into orbit, we'll get to purging.
>>50208558
Nope. What does it do?
>>50208664
It allows you to build preds/landraiders/dreads. Most of the weapons, and all of the armor except for tartaros. Maybe it's also what's given me a xp boost. Also I believe it updates the sprites, they certainly look different.
>>50208664
Looking through the heresy mod info, it wouldn't have boosted my xp. So I'm really not sure why it's boosted.
All of the marines are loaded into the greenskin purgation fleet. I've sent a similiar, unmanned fleet towards the smaller green skin infestation. Hoping to simply burn them off of whatever worlds they infest. Lets see if we can't find the greenskin warboss!
Lets see how our fleet handles the orks in orbit
Question, in the base game with the 40k mod, how often do craftworlds come out?
The ork fleet was annihilated, boards and battle barges. A heady combination.
>>50208956
Very rare, it's an incredibly small chance. And the fleet that surrounds them will destroy you handily, unless you greatly outnumber them. Ships and boarders recommended.
Lets see what happens when we commit the entire legion to war with extreme level orks
>>50208970
Did they ever let you start capturing enemy ships? Or does boarding still, at best, do some damage?
Also, does it give XP for the marines doing the boarding?
The Ork's didn't even manage to fire a shot. The armored gun-line wiping them out entirely.
>>50209020
It gives xp to the boarders. Sadly it never made it that far, atleast not in the version I'm playing. I didn't keep up with whoever picked up the project. It does a ton of damage though, It's what I use my scouts for.
so I consulted with the venerable ripley
>>50208284
BROTHER APOTHECARY TOBY
>>50209171
Truly it is the only way to be sure brother.
Post your chapter masters!
>>50209179
H-how do you know he's a heretic Brother?
And Perturabo has made an absolute mistake. This is going to suck
>>50209406
That is going to hurt, a lot
welp, time to reload
>>50209464
"According the inbuilt auspex.... the STC fragment is down here...."
"My lord are you sure it's wise to travel down here... alone?"
Uhoh..../tg/... do I use it... or do I give it to those goodie two shoes inquisitors?
>>50209406
This is why you send the entire 1st company.
>>50209648
Decimate it!
>>50209648
give to =I= for brownie points
>>50209669
>>50209679
but.... but....
very well. FOR THE IMPERIUM
>>50209654
This time the entire first company descends... to find.. TRAITORS
>game was completely dropped by Duke for no good reason with silly copyright nonsense as justification
Still hurts desu
>>50209781
Show them this. They will explode.
>>50209783
It does hurt, from what I did follow of the bay12 thread where people began to pick it up, it either was only ever iterated on slightly. Or, one of the guys who picked it up was butthurt that it would have to be warhammer or no one would pay it anymind.
>>50209818
They all burst into flame comrade
If I ever come into a hefty sum of money, I'd consider just throwing it at duke, to finish a single version of the game. Then distribute it for free.
Only one sector of space remains to be purged Brothers. The Tau and the Greenskin cower in the galactic north. We go now to clear the sector.
>>50210117
wait, is that Tau in the Heresy Mod? As in, 30k?
More heretical artifacts! Does Perturabo wear the chaos armor?
>>50210117
Yes, the heresy mod just allows you better access to legion equipment, and different sprites.
How does one get a hold of this interesting collection of code?
>>50210248
if someone would point me to a site that will allow me to drop a small file folder in for hosting I could supply it. or drop your email
>>50210184
Send it to the INQ.
>>50210296
Wouldn't megaupload work?
>>50210317
Apparently mega doesn't exist. Point me to a link, and I will provide.>>50210311
done and done
>>50210362
https://mega.nz/
>>50209819
Yeah, it's dead as fuck over there and meanwhile Duke is working on a dumb monstergirl princess game.
So the sector is clear... for now
>>50210480
Now make a secret base and cheese out geneseed.
does anyone have any issues with blowing up necron tombs in the game? I'm not playing heresy mod, but everytime the inquisition tells me to go and bomb a tomb, I send my guys to the planet, and the notice card keeps asking me every turn if i'm ready to start until the necrons wake up.
>>50210566
isn't that really the first order of business?
Alright here's a mega of my folder. just unzip it and run interstellar army simulator. Should be all good to go, heresy included
https://mega.nz/#!cIhmCTTD!UE8eYzRga1QhzOqL_GGYVewGdsfHMhapKsqTiXFVzMo
>>50210566
This is an excellent plan.
>>50210582
The real first order of business is punching dorn in his stupid face
>>50210480
Have you checked it for Genestealer cults? They might be hiding on some worlds. Look for Tyranid presence: heavy and below.
>>50210604
thanks m8
>>50210574
Sometimes it's buggy, it's been a while since I've taken out a tomb.
also, pic related. Guess the sector isn't ready for geneseed farming yet
>>50210628
Just hope it works right anon!
ITS TIME TO FUCK
>>50210690
INSULT HIM
DEMAND THRONES
SPIT IN HIS FACE
ASK FOR AUDIENCE AND TROLL HIM
I think I have made a very grave error. I should of brought a bigger fleet.
>>50210771
I SHOULDN'T OF LISTENED TO YOU BRO
>>50210776
This was a total lose, should of used more boarders. It was actually somewhat close though.
>>50210843
damn, that's a lot of heresy.
though, isn't there a bug that occurs when you buy a lot of ships? Like, you purchase some, and they appear as blank on the fleet list and you can't really command them to do anything.
>>50210843
>close
Close like "I could have pulled out a win if I'd gone for X instead of Y" or close like "Its amazing we did as well as we did but we were already dead from the start"?
>>50207425
>Shitty luck
The one time I picked this perk I really was unlucky.
How do you get unit sprites in the latest version? I unzip the Chapter Master shit into the Interstellar Army folder, but they don't show up, and the resource/loyalty/geneseed/troop icons in the upper left are fucked too.
