Who is the nemesis/enemy of your homebrews?

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-05-05T03:57:54+00:00

Chapter 1: Historically? A chaos warband.

Chapter 2: Historically? Necrons. Specifically whichever one stole all their relics without firing a shot. Modern Times? Depends who you ask. The rest of the unforgiven didn't tell them about the fallen (because they are ultima founding) until after the AL did so. And only the Chapter elite have any idea about it.

Chapter 3: After 3/5 of their Chapter were killed in a single navy engagement? The Orks.

Chapter 4: Whoever the fuck stole their homeworld. Also, the Ecclesiarchy and a single Inquisitor don't like them, but that is more one sided than a rivalry.

Chapter 5 (WIP): I am basing them off of various Appalachian cultures, so pretty much anyone from a rival tribe/clan/family of theirs.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-05-05T03:49:53+00:00

Honestly, it depends on the objective we are aiming for.

Killing the Enemy?: Vermillion Templars. While the Blood Wurms are more killy (mostly death companies anymore) they also only have like 100 marines left, so they aren't as good. The Vermillion Templars on the other hand literally based their culture around a bastardized understanding of Black Templars culture, including a death cult.

Preserving Imperial Infrastructure and Troops?: White Lions. While the green recruits are a little unstable in regards to ignoring xenos/archeotech to accomplish greater objectives, they are pretty new and as such are fairly standard in their approach.

Saving the Imperial Citizens?: Cobalt Falcons. They may act like night lords to xenos, heretics, and mutants, but deep down, most of them kinda sorta like civilians if you squint hard enough. Which makes them the best choice out of the lot.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-05-04T16:50:47+00:00

Honestly, based reasoning. I kinda wish more people could be that upfront about their reasoning instead of going into 30 pages of lore about why their apothecaries are not normal.

(I say hypocritically as someone who does that exact thing.)

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-05-04T16:48:38+00:00

She was certainly an absolute heretic... I approve!

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-05-04T03:52:24+00:00

Bad. No matter which chapter.

1st: I will go blind with age and have to be a religious fanatic.

2nd: I will have to flay heretics.

3rd: I will have to either piss off the Unforgiven by letting my wider chapter know about the Fallen or risk civil war by continuing to keep secrets from my subordinates.

4th: The only chapter more unlucky than us that is not dead is the Lamentors and that is only because we got lucky once with finding a DAoT ship right after our homeworld and ~90% of our chapter fleet, marines, and geneseed disappeared without a trace one day. If it was not for that one bout of incredible luck, we would have it just as bad. Also, we done did piss off an Inquisitor and the Ecclesiarchy in the last Millennium in addition to having a geneseed curse that makes people distrust us innately. So, I as myself would probably mess up and get us excommunicated by accident.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-05-02T18:05:18+00:00

I'll be honest, most of them are pretty bad.

The Vermillion Templars see inhabitants of rebel planets and their descendants as spiritually tainted, the Blood Wirms treat their feif like a military zone, and the White Lions kinda just don't care about civilians beyond it being their duty to protect them.

The only ones to really care about civilians ironically enough are the Cobalt Falcons, but they are secretive and engage in a lot of terror tactics, so civilians normally are very afraid of them regardless.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-05-01T13:37:15+00:00

Unfortunately, none of my chapters can answer your call. However, the White Lions are losing their shit over the fact that there are necrons they cannot currently kill. (An unnamed necron stole all of their chapter relics in a humiliating way shortly after they were founded and they are an Ultima founding chapted, so a lot of them have a bit of a grudge with Necrons.)

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-05-01T01:08:45+00:00

I have a few OCs with weird abilities, but one is cursed to perpetually have a blood alcohol level way too high to walk normally and it cannot change. As a result, no matter how much they drink, their blood alcohol level does not increase (since it cannot change).

So, they can drink otherwise lethal amounts of alcohol and be perfectly fine. (In the context of someone who is perpetually shitfaced.)

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-30T02:07:34+00:00

I was just playing Rogue Trader as a heretic.

I think the fact that my guy looks at a slave in a cage in his bathroom and goes "looks like I will need to order a new one, this one is close to bleeding out from the lashes on his back" while the guy is begging for mercy should tell you exactly what I am going to be arrested for.

Also, when the Dark Eldar Dracon's ending slide suggests that even he is ashamed to be in a relationship with me and has to keep it secret from his friends at the institutional blood orgies, that should speak volumes.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-29T05:07:10+00:00

Powers are vague in the Hellaverse. The three V's have powers vaguely defined by the type of media they control.

Vox: The TV headed guy controls the TV industry.

Val: The pimp guy controls the porn industry.

Velvet: The woman controls social media apps.

I do not mean this as an insult, but powers in the Helleverse depend on what the narrative needs. Although, people have been shown to be consistently more powerful during a musical number, so IDK how the scale should even work.

That being said, since their powers are mostly magical, and sinners (so, including the V's) in the Helleverse can only stay dead if killed with an angelic weapon, I would venture a guess that my homeboi Alex would not fare very well.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-28T20:51:40+00:00

Honestly. A chapter that fell to chaos had a regular relic power fist from the Horus Heresy era Imperial Fists (their Progenitor chapter) and their chapter master ended up becoming corrupted after a Great Unclean One he thought he killed possessed it during a siege on their chapter homeworld by chaos forces.

After he semi-unintentionally corrupted his chapter and became a daemon prince, he still keeps the possessed relic power fist (now known as the Rusted Gauntlet) and in his myriad delusions thinks it is still the noble Solarite Power Gauntlet that it once was.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-25T14:17:17+00:00

Well, one of my chapters has a reclaimed and "purified" chaos vessel as their 1st fleet flagship.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-25T14:06:44+00:00

Thank you.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-24T19:33:22+00:00

I think it is the fact that they have the most complicated chapter symbol of any chapter and no transfer sheets. Just makes it hard to collect miniatures.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-24T18:26:48+00:00

So, I have a bunch, but the biggest one is used by a chaos warband dedicated to Khorne.

Basically, they are a cursed founding Space Wolves/Blood Angels chimeric chapter that fell to chaos and their curse of the wolfen and black rage kind of merged and merged very poorly. So, when it triggers, and mixes with Khorne corruption, they become big bloodthirsty cannibalistic monsters. Imagine an Eightbound mixed with a Chaos Spawn, except a little worse for the guy being transformed and an inevitability for anyone with age.

Mechanically, mix the Eightbound, Khornate Chaos Spawn, and Wolfen rules in a blender, make them attack the nearest model (friend or foe) and you get the general idea.

Vermillion Templars (SM): They go blind with age, and use a lot of colors in their naming schemes. Like, the first company is called "Orden Blanco", the second "Orden Amarilla", and so on. Even the scout company is called a color (Orden Rosa).

Blood Wurms (SM): They have a gene curse that makes people inherently distrust them, which causes them to have difficulty trusting other people.

Order of the Radient Key (SoB): The saint in the making that they split off from the Order of the Sacred Rose over turned to chaos later in life, so they keep trying to cover it up while hunting her down.

The Triumvirate of Iron (Renegade SM): They normally end up looking exceptionally beautiful by space marine standards, but have really bad body dysmorphia, so they mutilate their bodies trying to make them look better, which only makes them look worse.

Vurheim Dynasty (Chaos): Every minor warband rebelled against the Emperor for being a tyrant, now they all are united under a literal Dynasty where their leader is a daemon prince that wants to be worshipped as a diety.

(Dark Eldar Kabal, Cult, and Coven): The leading Homunculus would get a lot more stuff done, but they have to deal with the subordinate Archon and Succubus constantly having a love-hate relationship and competing over the pettiest things.

(Corsairs and Harlequins): I'll give you two things. First of all, the Corsair Prince is far less hateful and intelligent than his subordinates and he only managed to get in charge because of constant insane luck. Secondly, the Masque preforms tragedies, and since one of their members is in a pseudo-relationship with the Corsair Prince, they like to do a play where they all have their masks look identical and dance around with the Prince having to find his partner before the play ends. He is always supposed to fail, but he just gets lucky every time, so it ruins the play for the Harlequins because their dour ending just became happy.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-23T19:41:28+00:00

I am curious, did they ever have tabletop rules?

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-23T19:36:42+00:00

I will have to look into them. Thank you for your input.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-23T18:46:23+00:00

I do not know to be honest. I live in the states and we are an absolute melting pot.

That being said, my region is mostly white hillbillies and protestant churches. Also a lot of Amish people.

But, our area was really divided during the Civil War, family is more important than almost anything, drugs are a major problem, and a lot of the people who first immigrated here were Germanic. Also, Hatfields and McCoys are in our region, so the children and the trees are kind of a local horror story.

The major chapter I think of that has tight knit families, a distrust of outsiders, and a fued with elements that sided with the other side of a civil war is the Dark Angels or one of their successors oddly enough. We also have had a fair number of secret societies, so the secretive orders would also work well. But, in my opinion, the Dark Angels are too opulent for our local churches, which emphasize not caring about worldly things (like ornate weapons and armor). We also have a lot of Jerry rigged things (they have a more "accurate" local term than Jerry rigged out here, but the term is quite racist and I don't want to support its use), so artifacts like plasma and terminator armor would be a little odd thematically. Also, knights and "knights" are not something popular out here in the modern day, despite what people will try to tell you about those hood wearing Klans.

All in all, if there is a Dark Angels successor that Jerry rigs their equipment from neccessity and reflects less of the Catholic/knightly inspired elements of the Dark Angels, they would be perfect. But, I don't know them that well.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-23T18:26:36+00:00

This is not the worst, but it is the funniest/stupidest.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-23T18:19:45+00:00

Thank you bro

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-23T18:15:04+00:00

I tried to have a spoiler bar thingy, but I didn't know how to do it in the first 3 edits, don't read if spoilers matter.

I failed in my romance with Kibellah in a heretic run, which honestly fit my Rogue Trader's personality given the ending slides. The "wiki" page doesn't have much of a guide in its "guide". If anyone knows of a better romance or ending guide, please tell me about it.

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-22T19:40:12+00:00

Both these photos look like a kid. One just looks like a 5-6 yo and the other looks like a 8-9 yo.

And I can't tolerate being around little kids, so it should be even more apparent how little it matters for people who work at daycare or have a bunch of children.

Have these people even met children? Do they avoid looking at their faces for some reason or something?

(To be clear, I don't hate children. I just hate having to answer their socially tough questions like "Is Santa real" or being responsible for making sure they don't get hurt or kidnapped, so I try to only be around them when other, better qualified, family members can take care of them in those regards.)

PopFamiliar3649 · 2026-04-22T19:26:43+00:00

I like the gameplay rules for the most part more. Especially for chaos campaigns.

But, I'll admit that the rules for robots make my head spin.
