Notes to self

• More thinly-veiled begging to have my own legion. Success! Though considering the concept I settled on...
• Work on Morkai, goddammit Nope, these guys can wait until M32.
• Brimstone Fire-Eaters. IG incendiary specialists who wear fire-retardant/resistant armor.
• In the future, add siege knights who serve siege sisters. The sisters also raise snakes native to their world that the knights share with them, and the snakes keep growing until they're big enough to be the a knight's feather boa. Just make them sisters with knights. Knights with sneks can be another house.
• Mechanicus-friendly forge world-native ganger IG who augment themselves and fight furiously in battle in the name of the Emperor with blessed wargear. Because Creation tables.
• Maybe make some Chaos IA? Time to look up movie references and obscure cultures!
• Tyche and Legio Maleficarum
• Gren Bloody-Eyes: VOTOMS regiment
• Solidus Chromehounds: Metal Gear Regiment
• Baskerville Manhunters: Traitor Guard who ride giant dogs

Suka Steelborn

The planet Suka is a grim world: its surface is devoid of any atmosphere, almost lifeless save the beasts that brave the distances between settlements and the plants which reach deep into the tunnels for sustenance. Not a human soul lives on the surface, but must reside in various airtight villages scattered around the planet, ancients structures from the Dark Age of Technology revered by their denizens with worship. In such a world resources are scarce, and so the tech-tribes must fight using their ancient artifacts, bringing void-suits and lasguns to bear against each other.

The tech-tribes of Suka do not wage war themselves, but instead send forth their gods. Among the most ancient technologies of Suka are ancient incubation vats, automated apparatus that give birth to flesh. What beings emerge from these metal wombs are not mere men to the tech-tribes; they are gods, born of machine, whose exclusive right is to lay waste to the bodies and spirits of machines. Only the Steelborn, sons of metal, can break metal; the lower born of flesh have no say in the affairs of spirits. Steelborn cross the airless surface of Suka, fighting other steelborn for their tech-tribe, scavenging archeotech, providing valuable services to the tech-tribes as they explore the world.

Occasionally, when the stars are too many, gods from the sky descend to Suka. Representatives of the God-Emperor, ruler of all machine spirits, come to the planet to spirit away hundreds of Steelborn into the larger Imperium's endless conflicts. Other times it is techpriests of the Adeptus Mechanicus, truly divine men to the Sukans, searching for archeotech, bringing more technology to the tech-tribes to trade for rarer items. Sometimes, it is not gods but demons who come to Suka. In such times the Steelborn must defend their world against the horrors of the galaxy.

Legio Nova

Legio Nova: The Burning Stars. So we have this forgeworld, right? And this forgeworld has a synod. But this synod isn't top dog; the two chief princepes are masters of the forgeworld. But then, it's not even the two princepes, because one of them has more de facto power than the other. Anyway, so these guys hate Al-Sherar. I mean they REALLY hate Al-Sherar. The Hektor Heresy comes around, and they defect.

• Maybe they used vat-grown menials?
• Definitely very SPARTAN in lifestyle.
• Two Titan-Kings, which are the chief princepes.
• Invade the Dar al-Amn at the beginning of the Hektor Heresy.

The Ogre Legion

The Ogre Legion were the steed and sword of Rokuten, the fierce overlord of O-Kan. On his homeworld, Rokuten was the most feared warlord whose armies swept aside entire kingdoms in a wave of gun smoke and shining steel, killing men and great beasts alike. His legion follows in his example: they march to war holding bolter and chainsword in hand, overrunning over their enemies and taking their heads. With the blade and the gun they had fought a thousand wars for the Imperium, and united humanity under the Emperor. With peace attained in the galaxy, the Ogre Legion prepared for a long and humble watch over humanity. However, Chaos took hold in Rokuten's idle mind, and infected his honor and ambition with arrogance and a lust for power. His legion, myrmidons blinded by their unbending warrior code, gladly followed him in his fall, and joined Hektor in his war against the Emperor to bring eternal war to the Imperium.

Rokuten

Rokuten is the master of the Ogre Legion and overlord of O-Kan. He is the father of the legion and its ideals, and is solely responsible for its will. Let us speak of the Primarch before the Heresy, of the warrior-lord who led his legion to glory, and gave it a strong sense of purpose. However, his own morals and desires were twisted and turned against him by the foul powers of Chaos when he was idle for too long in the peace after the Great Crusade.

Rokuten crashed on the world O-Kan in the midst of a violent dispute between the Agada and the Shinzo clans. While resting by a pond a soldier from the Agada clan spotted a star falling from the heavens nearby, and so traced it on horseback to where it impacted. In the crater the soldier found the infant Rokuten, and brought him to the clan's lord as a sign. The lord in turn presented the child to the Shinzo Clan as a sign that his clan was in the right, and requested they take this child in exchange for peace. The other lord, Jironaga, obliged, and took the child as his own.

Jirotosa raised Rokuten to be a warrior and a commander, teaching him the ways of warfare and combat. Rokuten grew up quickly, exceeding all his masters and becoming the clan's greatest warrior before he was twenty. His fame as a warrior spread with the clan's conflicts, becoming known throughout the land as the Ogre of Shinzo for his size and ferocity in battle as a warrior and a commander. When Jironaga died, however, it was not Rokuten who succeeded him; it was his jealous and distrustful older brother Akuten who became lord as according to clan law. Suspicious of and inferior to his adopted brother, Akuten did not take Rokuten as a humble retainer. Fearing betrayal, Lord Akuten ordered Rokuten to commit suicide. In a quiet ceremony, Rokuten sat before his lord and attempted to disembowel himself: first with a knife, then with multiple swords, as each blade used broke before they could cut through his thick abdomen. Even after fully cutting through his gut Rokuten was still alive and able to stand, and his executioner could not behead him with any sword or axe. Stunned and seeing this as a sign from the heavens, Akuten called off the execution, and abdicated as lord. In turn, Rokuten became lord of the Shinzo Clan with Akuten as his right hand, and the two became true brothers.

Rokuten's ambitions as lord were beyond any before him. He and Akuten began a campaign to conquer the world, beginning with the conquest of the Agada Clan and continuing for thirty years. The Shinzo Army grew as it swept across the world like a tidal wave, devouring clans and kingdoms, subjugating their armies and peoples. After thirty years of war Rokuten had finally achieved his goal, and not a nation in the world dared stand against him. He named himself Overlord of O-Kan, and under him the world began a period of peace. However, one day Rokuten heard news of a strange castle that sprang up in the middle of the night, and whose master refused any communication. As a show of force against these mysterious dissidents Rokuten rallied ten thousand troops to march on the castle, such a number wrapping around the tiny castle many times. Within the day of arrival, the master of the castle walked out alone and met Rokuten with a challenge. The stranger, as tall as Rokuten and clad in golden armor, claimed his small army could destroy the entirely of Rokuten's. Rokuten humorously accepted, wagering the service of all O-Kan as proof of his confidence.

When the stranger returned to his castle, the battle began. The moment the castle's gates shut, rockets screamed from behind the walls and struck Rokuten's siege engines with frightening accuracy. His forces storming the walls were decimated by rapid-fire cannons. Those that did reach with ladders were quickly cut down by the giant warriors who mounted the defenses. Massive metal carts rolled out the gate, and routed the reserves. In the aftermath only forty-seven out of ten thousand stood next to the Overlord, such was the strength of this nebulous force. The castle's master emerged to collect his reward, and Rokuten bowed to his new lord. At that moment, the stranger revealed his full nature: he was the Emperor of all mankind, and Rokuten was one of his primarchs, born to lead the Imperium's armies in a crusade to unite humanity. Rokuten and his forty-seven warriors followed the Emperor to the stars, and there Rokuten was given the army with which he would conquer the stars: the Gold Talons, a force of superhuman soldiers created by the Emperor to serve Rokuten. Remembering these warriors' ferocity in the battle against the lone castle, Rokuten re-christened them the Ogre Legion, after both their brutish nature and their primarch's moniker.

Rokuten's Lessons

Following his rediscovery, Rokuten found the time to sit down two-hundred of his new marines in a large room and teach them his ideals. To Rokuten, there is an order in the universe that should not be upset lest there be calamity. There are the peasants and farmers, the artisans, and the ministers and bureaucrats; and then there is the warrior, whose divine duty is to rule and protect. He laid down the code of conduct for warriors, and established what honor and glory truly mean for the legion. He explained the honor in fighting foes to the death, and how glory is earned by taking the enemy's head and presenting it to your lord. These two-hundred pupils then spread these teachings to all the legion, and with these lessons they became the servants of Rokuten.

The Legion

The Ogre Legion, so named by Rokuten for the space marines' brute strength and ferocity in battle witnessed on O-Kan, is a legion of warriors, first and foremost. The doctrine of choice for Rokuten's captains is infantry assault, striking the enemy with the raw might of the Astartes. The Ogre Legionnaire himself is the principle warrior of the legion, and thus he is pride of the legion. Artillery, scouts, tanks, and flyers are all secondary to the infantry who truly rule the battlefield. It is the battle-brother of the Ogre Legion hold storms the enemy, holds positions, and takes heads from the fallen foes; he alone is the strength of the Legiones Astartes.

Under the command of Rokuten are the seventeen Hosts of O-Kan.

Hektor Heresy

Hey man, are you still interested in working up Ogre Legion? Things got a bit heavy in my life and nobody else wanted to keep threads running on 4chan, but the project hasn't been junked. --Lumey (talk) 01:25, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Yeah. Imperium Asunder is just too much about the primarchs now, and nobody talks about the guard. --Dingdoodah (talk) 21:35, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
