Belegarth

i was thinking of going along the lines of having my character being a warhammer chosen who is a follower of the raven god tzeench...i am still at odds at what how make my story though...

You'll have to come up with a bit more background before you can go into it. Are you from the Chaos Wastes? Were you within civilization before you turned to Chaos?

Little things will make it shine.

thanks for the suggestion, i think i maybe should research a little more on the forces of chaos.

For background on the gods, I suggest the Liber Chaotica. You'll have to hunt it down in a used book store or online.

For background on a the Chaos of Fantasy, there's the army books.

Step one: Capitalization and punctuation.
Step two: Grammar

Chosen of Chaos are not trained into the position. Chosen of Chaos are in that position only by the whims of the gods. Yeah, becoming a warrior under Chaos is as simple as worshiping the god. Becoming a Chosen means that you exemplify what it means both to be a warrior and to be a servant of (in your case) Tzeentch.

My suggestion: Lay off the Chosen title until you've been in the game a little longer. Other folks that go with backgrounds involving Chaos would likely be unappreciative of it if a newbie walked around calling himself a Chosen of Chaos.

i can see your point in that, but currently there are no chosen in my group, so by that means im safe....another thing...how would chosen learn their rune powers and dark magic? i think by training...but anyway thanks for the suggestions.

You would learn the dark powers through -study- or chaotic texts in the case of sorcerers and some warriors, by having the runes passed down from another (training works in this case), or from pure inspiration from the gods.

There are people on a national level that do worship chaos as a whole, though. It's the same reason that it is highly recommended that people not call themselves "Sir Somethingorother" unless they have gone through the process to be knighted.

oh ok i see your point...ok ill modify my story a little bit

*Flips through the witch hunters hand book* Hmmmm which weapon to use. lol

well said...although witch hunters are alinged with the forces of order are they not? anyway, i dont see anything wrong with that post, it seems pretty legit

To get the question out there: Do you have any knowledge of the Warhammer setting outside of what you have learned from Warhammer: Age of Reckoning?

Yeah, like the fact that it's based on gobs and gobs of expensive plastic figures and there are tons of books out there related to the one very specific thing you are asking?

Have I mentioned before that I sincerely enjoy you?

also as a worshiper of the changer of ways he literally could just gift you with knowledge. it may not be the gift it seems or it may. tzeentch is the most ambiguous of the chaos gods. khorne, nurgle, slaanesh have reasons that can be figured out by humans to some extend (i.e. khorne wants murder to be done, nurgle the spread of disease etc.) tzeentch's wants and needs are the least knowable, so as far as backstory with training if he chose you as a champion then he literally could have just given you all the spells and power and **** you needed to rock the house in his name.

ok looks like i havent researched enuff

chaos is always changing. you may want to attempt to play a norsi before you become a champion (FYI in belegarth if you actually wanted it to mean something you could squire to one of the dark knights out there and when entitled instead of choosing Sir as your title you cause take something like champion to go along with your character)

the norsi were the native chaos worshippers of the empire before it's formation by sigmar heldenhammer. they were chased to the frozen parts of the chaos wastelands during the formations of sigmar's empire and forever swore a racial life debt against humanity. they worship a raven god aspect of what many beleive to be tzeentch.

Speaking as a random fighter with basic knowledge on Warhammer...If i ran across someone calling himself Chosen...yea, id hunt him down first. Not because im mad or anything, but its the same thing as with the Darth thread you revived. There's an expectation with the title that you just can't get away from.

Its like if i ran across someone calling himself Frank the Magnificent...id hunt his magnificent * down and beat the hell out of him simply to find out if he truly is magnificent.

The only exception to this is the title of Knight. I learned long ago that just because someone has Sir before his name doesn't mean he is any good at fighting, or for that matter displays any of the attributes of a classic knight.

Also...why is it that everyone wants to be Chosen of this, or Darth of that, or Prince of this. Seriously, whats wrong with being a random foot solder? Also, if i read another back story where your parents are dead, killed by (insert stereotypical bad thing) and you left at a young age to (Insert Teen Angst Quest), im going to puke. Be a normal guy. Its alright, You don't have to be special...because the more you make yourself special, the more people like me hunt you down because they expect you to be challenging, and in a game where there is no real reason to actually fight, most people fight for personal pride and or the challenge of it.

Good advice, Kade.

Hehe. I cannibalized my parents at a young age for entirely practical reasons.

Interesting... I'd never spent too much time thinking about a motivation to fight. I've come up with a shoddy catch-all where I'm more or less a ronin, walking the path of enlightenment, but sometimes I'll incorporate a dream I've had into a goal in Belegarth. For example, walking to Western Wars, flying out to Oktoberfest and certain rivalries have all been inspired by dreams or daydreams I've had. I always try to justify my actions in Belegarth based on my own life as much as possible, that way I never exceed my own abilities in terms of how I act.

Frank the magnificent would be awesome.

Plus I'd rather kill orcs .

1st of all as you can see, i ahve changed my pic to a chaos marauder and that is what my belegarth character shall be...2nd, ya i think ill go with something more humble and not all epic...and i also am currently reading about sigmar heldenhammer and of his creation of the empire...

Chaos Marauder is a good call. Backstory really isn't my thing, but armor and garb i can give you advice on.

Breaking down the pic you have there...You are looking at an armored skirt, a gut belt, A few straps of leather over the chest, I would make them armor grade, and maybe a full sleeve or two depending on your fighting style.

I personally love this armor style, its very close to what im building right now, mine just has more of a Roman Celt theme to it rather than Chaos warrior.

If you are less then defined in the stomach and chest area, i would recommend going with a sleeveless shirt of some sort. The rattier looking the better. You could also go with a short surcoat or tunic. However, if you look like a beast, go shirtless.

you can build it yourself, by far the cheapest, or you can commission the work. There are any number of people on these boards who can build armor for you or help you build it yourself. Do yourself a favor and make sure you can meet with them in person. Don't rely on measurements and emails for commissioning armor. You really want it fitted to you, specially at the prices most people charge.

Once you have the basics you can decorate it with weird random things. Shrunken Heads, Bone Trophies, etc etc.

Other than that, good luck with your story and character.

i should start workin out like hell so i can have no shirt on and be beast!

The beefiest frank in the hotdog cart.

maybe not beefy, that currently is impossible to accomplish because of my SUPER HIGH metabolism, but definitely gotta work on my arms and chest. i run cross-country with my high-school team so my legs are buff enough, and my lower chest is good...but anyway, i got to W O R K M Y A S S O F F ! ! !

ADD

how the hell did you know i have A.D.D?! no seriously i really have ADD

You hide it so well.

I never would have guessed it either.

lol...all i gotta sa- whoa awesome! a hot topic store **** yeah!

FTR, there is also a certain fun in being ridiculously out of shape and still going shirtless. I myself go shirtless fairly often, and I'm built like Chunk from The Goonies. Guess who rarely gets grappled? The sweaty, fat, hairy guy with no shirt, that's who.

i, for one, am not fat, im skinny, SO skinny that when i was in the 4th grade i was on the opposite of a diet, i had to gain lots of pounds

You make me smile, Sigbaby HuggleBear.
