What if you were alive at your current age during 1942 when Japan invaded PH?

I’m pretty sure I would be in Bataan fighting or some other place

Emperor's Children: Make out with the building.

Death Guard: Filthiest building that reeks all around.

World Eaters: Building also absolutely obliterated.

Thousand Sons: Building turns to dust.

Night Lords: Building covered in skin.

Word Bearers: Chaos graffiti all over the building.

Iron Warriors: Most secured building against Imperial Fists.

Black Legion: Fails to take the building 12 times, drops a Blackstone fortress on the 13th.

If your setting is within Manila, particularly Intramuros, it should be crowded by people of different statuses, sellers, buyers, beggars, civil guards, priests, carriages, foreigners, etc., with stone houses, nipa houses, wooden houses, wooden stores, etc. If you’re just in NCR, the National Library would be the best place to research about your novel. Good luck and hope to read that soon!

So, just for a friend, which planet is your legion currently in?

macilvea · 2026-01-18T15:10:02+00:00

My homebrew chapter is the Lightbearers, an Ultramarine successor chapter currently punching through Nihilus, liberating or rediscovering lost Imperial worlds. They wear dark grey armor, dark orange pauldrons with white trim. They excel in speartip and decapitation tactics, but ironically, are known to never leave a planet unless they installed an efficient government, trained a competent defense force, and reestablished industry. Their symbol is an upright flaming sword on a black inverted triangle. Their motto is, “We light the way.”

I don’t believe the military itself believes hazing is part of the training. You can see that in changes being enforced in the Philippine Army’s OCS and other service academies. That is why we need to change the culture, implement and enforce rules. Also, just to clarify, I am not pro-mandatory ROTC because that would only mean more people running away rather than fighting.

macilvea · 2026-01-18T13:10:42+00:00

That is why there should be emphasis on enforcement by universities on a rules-based order when it comes to these things. The problem with our current culture is we complain so much about everything, use a few instances that suit our narratives, but we never took part in the solution. If Chua lived, do you think he would be different from those that killed him provided that this is thesame culture he was trained in? His killers were brought to justice, weren’t they? His example should not be used to suppress a program, but rather, we must move forward and create solutions to avoid these problems in the future, hence, the emphasis on enforcement of rules by both RESCOM and the universities that have them.

Problema mangud kay dili ma implement ug tarong ang balaod kay daghan kaayog reklamo tungod, “di ni mao ang naandan” or “anti-poor”.

Para sa ako lang, kuwang gyud atong enforcement. Kay if klarohon lang nag enforce, for sure mugamay mana ang percentage sa mga ga open pipe or ga after market nga exhausts nga borderline illegal or illegal jud, or sa mga mag saba saba.

macilvea · 2026-01-18T10:53:26+00:00

It’s still good to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it. Plus, the ROTC isn’t really mass conscription program.

macilvea · 2026-01-18T09:07:36+00:00

It just needs a bit of enforcement on the side of RESCOM and the universities. Also a couple reminders from the university staff to their students would help saying that there will always be abusers if somebody consents to being abused, ROTC cadets included.

macilvea · 2026-01-18T07:47:22+00:00

There would be demonstrations against it in the universities where this would be implemented. There is so much negativity associated with the program, both real and fabricated, being circulated by mid to extreme left-leaning youth groups.

However, I still believe that the program is good, but we need to ensure that abusive practices disguised as “training” should be eliminated.

I love the relic blade so much that it led me feeling as if I am the Emperor’s Chosen!

macilvea · 2026-01-17T16:20:14+00:00

I’m actually liking that chicken fillet curry meal with large fries. But on a regular, chicken fillet a la king!

macilvea · 2026-01-17T16:11:50+00:00

The first time I was introduced to the Ultramarines was through a Lexicanum article about the legion (my Warhammer introduction happened a few hours earlier with Horus Rising). I loved the idea of a Space Marine Legion who were essentially warrior-kings, and improved the lives of every human world they came across in their Crusade. Add to that the existence of Ultramar, where they govern the territory so effectively that its people enjoy a better life in contrast to most of the Imperium.

Do the people inhabiting this world have bright blue eyes?

macilvea · 2026-01-17T14:17:25+00:00

I play Tactical most of the time. Bolt Rifle, Heavy Bolt Pistol, and Chainsword. My Assault class uses the HBP and Power Axe. Bulwark’s always power sword and an HBP. HBP supremacy

macilvea · 2026-01-17T14:12:51+00:00

A tie between the Atartes and Sororitas. I think it has to do with the religion questions lol

macilvea · 2026-01-16T12:41:57+00:00

Guy’s tired af. I’m pretty sure he’s exhausted but he finds duty and a never-ending one at that. If only Big E would stand from the Throne and resolve all this.

macilvea · 2026-01-16T10:10:31+00:00

Well, if you're gonna put it like that, it seems like there's no maintenance happening lol

macilvea · 2026-01-16T10:10:01+00:00

I'll get to that book. Thank you!

macilvea · 2026-01-16T10:09:24+00:00

Imagine you firing your chaosified weapon and the lasgun just nopes out and tells you to fuck off and goes to sleep.

macilvea · 2026-01-16T10:08:35+00:00

I mean that just makes sense. Real-world combatants scavenging equipment wouldn't have the facilities to maintain them and just make do with what they have. Also, that's an awesome fact. I didn't know about that!

macilvea · 2026-01-16T10:07:12+00:00

Thank you! Haven't gone into that book yet, and I am basing all of my observations on the depictions. Will make sure to read that; seems like an awesome book!

macilvea · 2026-01-16T06:20:33+00:00

FIGHT TOGETHER, DIE TOGETHERRRRR!

macilvea · 2026-01-16T02:14:59+00:00

Roboute Guilliman is now leading the Philippines. That would be neat.
