Sisters of the Flame Fluff Reboot / Slaaneshi Daemons Update
14 years ago
I'll be re-doing a lot of the Sisters fluff I've done.
This came about as I was talking with Kuri
kurisu7885 about some fluff I'd made for a game I was going to play, with Inquisitorial forces being raided by Hellfire Astartes to replenish their numbers through mind-altering technology. He corrected me, pointing out that he does not want to attack the Imperium in our little 40k world, and would happily leave all Imperial forces and citizens alone, and he just wants to be left alone. He also really dislikes the use of the nannites. This necessitates a major redo of the fluff I've written, because in it, there are widespread examples of Hellfire forces going out of their way to attack and turn Imperial forces. This got more and more true as I went forward with it. So I'll be reviewing the old stuff, and probably altering it.
In short, the fluff was getting out of hand and away from what it was supposed to be, so I'll be redoing at least some, if not a lot, of it.
In the meantime, I've started my second battle with the new Sisters of Battle White Dwarf Codex. I'd decided to make it a reenactment of the first meeting between loyalist Sisters of Battle and Hellfire forces. I wrote a little blurb about the pre-battle, which I'll post. I'm also writing fluff about the battle, half-turn by half-turn, from both sides' perspectives. So far I have the top half of turn 1 written up. Not very long of course, and it'll alter the fluff of that first meeting. It's nice when there's something at stake in a battle, and even better when it'll be good even if I lose the battle.
An update on my Slaaneshi Daemons project... I picked up two boxes of Daemonettes, and two boxes of Seekers, a few weeks ago. So far I've only built 5 Steeds of Slaanesh, and still haven't built their riders. The daemonettes have yet to be unboxed. I've decided to slowly grow my Chaos Daemons whenever I'm not working on my Sisters.
