Join the Crusade! Become a Hero of the Imperium! DO YOUR PART! The rules are simple. No PMO during the entirety of October. If you PMO then you are out and one point from your team will be subtracted. If you and your team mates hold fast and endure throughout the entirety of October you will come out as the winning team and earn the golden Aquila which is, of course, one of the highest honors an imperial citizen (even a Space Marine) can earn. Like last months challenge I will divide us into four teams. This time around, however, I've already set the team names instead of having participants vote forth their respective team names. Because of a lack of time and unnecessarry amount of micro-management on my part I've decided to do it this way. The theme for the names are four prominent chapters (factions basically) of Space Marines from the Warhammer 40k universe. The reason being that, for one, I am a massive nerd, and for two, the theme goes really well with NoFap as "degeneracy" (I'm using the term sarcastically) is frowned upon in the 40k universe and considered heresy. These different chapters of Space Marines all have their own different cartoonish stereotypes to them. From the hulking, axe wielding, vikings of the Space Wolves to the zelous christian knights of the Black Templars. Pick whatever faction attracts you the most and that you'd like to identify with for a month and I'll place you in that team. I'll set the cap for each team to max 10 people as there's max 10 in a squad of Space Marines. The Emperor of mankind needs fresh new recruits! Leave your old ways behind and prove yourself worthy of becoming a part of spreading His light throughout the galaxy! Space Wolves (10/10 members) Current score - 2 - @Primaris - @The Glowing Shadow - @Chakra_Serpent ++ @Robbo-seeking-life ++ @Kingfisher - @june47 - @rockstarpsr - @rewiring4good - @1punchman - @Fighter_4_life "The Space Wolves are a savage and fiercely loyal Chapter of Space Marines – traits inextricably linked to the ferocity of their home world of Fenris. They are taught to fight from a young age, for war is not just their peoples’ way of life, but their only means of survival. The death world of Fenris is among the most inhospitable of its kind, with long, cruel winters, brief yet bitterly hot summers and – worse still – it’s populated by many of the deadliest fauna and alpha predators in existence. Those who thrive within such a brutal environment make potential Adeptus Astartes recruits of a quality that is all but unrivalled in the Imperium. Should the aspirants survive the myriad trials and be found worthy of joining the ranks of the Space Wolves, they will live the Fenrisian warrior’s dream, earning a saga as a chosen champion of the Allfather in glorious wars all across the Sea of Stars." Why would you pick the Space Wolves? - Because you're not just first to the fight but you're also first to the feast - Because you think vikings eat pirates and shit ninjas - Because trudging through a blizzard is making you all warm and fuzzy inside (because you're a badass) - Because you think wolves are really metal and would like to have one - Because you like the idea of having a two handed axe on your wall - Because you think the Dark Angels are a bunch of twats Black Templars (10/10 members) Current Score - 2 - @Steppingintotheunkown - @Sebbrix - @RedStripe - @MixerAwersome ++ @MarioVargas - @Blaze21 - @love defender - @youngthegiant10 ++ @Moonity - @kingkhan21 "The Black Templars are crusaders, holy warriors battling to bring the truth and light of the Emperor to the unconquered worlds of the galaxy. With bolt shell and chainsword, the Black Templars convert the benighted to the light of the Master of Mankind and destroy those who refuse to welcome His truth." Why would you pick Black Templars? - Because you are an absolute mad lad - Because you like roadtrips (they are a fleet based chapter... they don't have a homeworld as they're on an eternal crusade through the galaxy) - Because you feel like a zelous teutonic knight sometimes - Because you like the idea of having a two handed sword on your wall - Because you think everything looks cooler in black - You occasionally say shit like "Deus Vult!!" Dark Angels (10/10 members) Current Score - 1 - @philosopotato - @Suki - @sasuke1416 ++ @imandrew - @PegasusKid - @Brahmacharya_UK - @mtrt - @OoMahidoO - @ToMMy.H - @AxBlaim "Since the founding of their Legion at the birth of the Imperium, the Space Marines of the Dark Angels have been dreaded by their enemies and held in awe by those they protect. Stubborn and relentless in battle, ever vigilant and zealous in their pursuit of their duties, the Dark Angels are among the Emperor's most faithful servants. Yet, it was not always so. For ten millennia the Dark Angels have harboured a sinister secret, an act so terrible and shameful it threatens everything the Dark Angels hold most dear – and may yet bring them eternal damnation." — Inquisitor Bastalek Grim Why would you pick Dark angels? - You like medieval themes - Because you think monastic knight orders are cool - You use two way authentication with everything (passwords and secrets) - Because you feel like there's something in your past that you regret and that you need to repent for through the crucible of war (NoFap) - You like the idea of wearing glorious winged helmets - Because you think the Space Wolves are a bunch of furries Blood Angels (10/10 members) Current Score - 5 - @Renaissance Man ++ @Magnus the Red ++ @Gonarth ++ @dandausa - @SantaHat - @[email protected] - @Candeeiro - @Jefe Rojo ++ @EndPornLiveLife ++ @gegenavenger The Blood Angels were the IX Legion of the original Space Marine Legions under their Primarch Sanguinius. They are particularly well known for their bloodthirsty nature in battle. They are also one of the most long-lived Chapters, and have a refined aesthetic sense. They are so named the Blood Angels because of their tendency to use blood as a central symbol of their particular warrior-monk rituals, and because of their susceptibility to the Red Thirst, a wild bloodlust that arises in them during battle. If he fails to control his Red Thirst, a Blood Angel may succumb to the Black Rage, after which he becomes a completely insane killing machine with no regard for his own safety who will try to destroy the Emperor's foes even if all he has left is a bloody stump of one leg. "From his Blood are we born! From his essence are we made! From his passion comes our art! From his nobility comes beauty. From his might stems justice. From his thirst is born righteous rage!" – The Final Charge of the Blood angels. Why would you pick the Blood Angels? - You like vampire themes - You've got a really dashing smirk when you look at yourself in the mirror - Aesthetics are important to you - You prefer a glass of red wine instead of a mug of ale/mead - You occasinally have anger management issues
hey bro I am in Would like to be in Space Wolves I am that previous "Mr Goodboy" in your september challenge (maybe you remember)
!!ATTENTION!! I should have said this in the beginning but remember to cast your vote (as in the poll at the beginning of this thread) for which chapter of Space Marines you want to join. It's easier for me to get an overview that way if I miss something in the comments.
Best monthly challenge ever @Primaris ! I will join the ranks of the Blood Angels. It is time to remember the galaxy the name of Sanguinius.
Was expecting also the Blood Ravens to come and say hi Thank you for setting up this wonderful thread.
Hippity hoppity they'll just steal someones property. Although I should have thought about you Magnus to come and think of it It's not out of the question to, eventually, make a complete Warhammer 40k challenge that isn't tied to a specific month. I like these right now though because of the urgency that they represent. You don't get a second chance if you know what I mean. In fact the 40k universe is so rich that I might repeat this in different forms. Like introduce a few other chapters next month or have the survivors of this challenge band together and become a Deathwatch kill team or something and give them a mission (like 80% of the group have to be successful for the mission to be considered complete or something).
It's not like they steal properties. They... gather items where they should be. In the Blood Raven's pockets, for example. I don't have a bias. I mean, it's not like my legion and I are obsessed with knowledge. Back to more serious stuff, a fully WH40k-themed challenge/thread would be great. So much potential to gamificate the NoFap Experience.
Hey brother, I'll join the Black Templars if you're still accepting recruits! Don't hold any particular affinity for the righteous nature, but I am a mad lad, and you better believe I occasionally scream shit like "Deus Vult" at the top of my lungs! (My coworkers hate me)
Hi, I would like to join to this challenge. I could join Black templars (any team is fine if that matters).
