Who are they? What do they do? What's their favorite off-brand soda? Tell us, Anon!

Bonus points if you post models...

XE-25 is a planet covered with pockets of craggy, volcanic badlands. These yield valuable deposits of rare chemicals. Over time, the workers mining ores and run-off, as well as those refining the elements became mutated outcasts. Now they seek new ways to augments themselves with whatever they can refine or jury-rig to take over as the new rulers of the slaglands.

Originally a periphery business, they were founded as a small-time parts manufacturer for industrial mechs. Over the years they had increasing demand for more advanced myomer and plating from militaries in the region, and slowly became more and more capable techs and engineers as they had to increasingly modify and frankenstien-together mechs to keep them running without access to advanced parts, optics, gyros or endo-steel.

Eventually the head of the company (some say in a fit of madness) decided to throw everything he had into an all or nothing bid to design his own entirely independent battlemech. This resulted in several viable prototypes but without the advanced manufacturing lines to make them affordable noone was willing to sign a contract on what was essentially a fleet of hand-made bespoke and unproven designs, and the company went into insolvency. Pirates raided the world shortly after that, and the company's assets were totally written off by their insurer. The prototype mechs were never seen again...

The Night Arrows are a Raven Guard successor hailing from Ulasig, a tidally locked feral world in the Qhalreis Expanse. The Chapter considers most of its history, apart from knowing their genetic lineage, irrelevant until M35. This is when the Iron Warriors Warsmith D'jaqq Zhon led an unexpected raid that saw the population of the planet which had, until that point, lived relatively stable existences near the planet's terminator, forcibly marched on foot to the world's substellar point. This trek through the planet's hellish star-facing side killed more than 80% of the world's already meager population. This would have risen to a complete extermination had nomadic tribes that already lived on the periphery of the world's hive cities not enacted a guerilla war, freeing and training survivors who would gradually pick off the Iron Warriors, leaving their already thinly stretched units outflanked and ultimately buried under the Ulasig sands. D'jaqq Zhonn, not about to allow his pride to be so deeply wounded by mortal barbarians, extracted his forces and was only ceased in his attempt to cleanse the world from orbit by the return of the Night Arrows who had rushed back to the defense of their recruiting world, joined by the Raven Guard 7th Company, of whom many senior Night Arrows hailed from prior to the Chapter's founding. While D'jaqq Zhon managed to escape, he would spend the rest of his existence being hunted by the Night Arrows.

The Chapter's visual aesthetic is that their command units have helmets influenced by the Ulasig Kadjinn Dancers, whose prophetic ceremonies accurately predicted the nature (if not the timing) of the planet's near-death.

Other facts for the Night Arrows:
-Chapter Master is currently interred in a Contemptor Dreadnought chassis and is gradually being replaced by the remaining command cadre
-Have an ongoing fight against an Ork Freebootaz Kaptin 'Waaaghdook Zill'

Knights of the Starlight Hawk

They are a Primaris chapter that are tasked with escorting a huge civilian fleet to (re)conquer lost worlds & establish new colonies in the Dark Scar. They are strong psychic power & after the chapter & civilian fleet nearly died after being marooned on a strange world & beset by a Warp storm the young Chapter Master was guided by a Warp Entity that resembled a starry blue hawk to a xenos ruin where a large crystal hawk statue was. The staue was installed on their flagship & the entity then calmed the Warp Storm & led them through the Warp safely. They now follow the Hawk as it slowly guides them through the Warp while continuing to colonize/recolonize planets. They do not know where the Starlight Hawk will lead them but they believe it to be an agent of the Emperor. The whole fleet worships the Starlight Hawk. The fleet has a ship baesed feudal society, with the ships officers stati9ns being inherited nobility, & the menials, serfs on each ship.the Chapter themselves take wives of the fleet citizens & only recruit the bloodlines of Marines. Blood-testing against the archives is one of the first tests for aspiring recruits. They are organized into Six Wings like the old HHexgramification. They are theoretically First Legion descendants but who really knows what Cawl got up to with them?

The Gorghoka Dynasty was a small one, but eminent in medical research and care preceding the War in Heaven. The Phaeron believed he had created in his second daughter a Necrontyr free of their genetic flaws, but the biotransference rendered it all a moot point.

The dynasty has struggled to regain a sense of purpose since awakening, not least of which because the second daughter, now Phaerakh since her father failed to awaken, seems to have gone quite mad over the loss of her "perfect" body and given up on their race entirely. Her top advisors try to quietly refocus Gorghoka on dealing with the mental maladies afflicting the Necrons in this new age, while the boss amuses herself in constructing a tesseract ark to house a menagerie of lifeforms she sees "potential" in.

Their off brand soda of choice is Mountain Shoutin'.

I have only a few painted minis because I am quite bad at it, but I'll try show some when I've got them handy, right now I'm traveling. It's about time I made good on that anchuent promise anyway.

>Who are they?
A guard regiment that is categorized as a "scruff company."
I posted this a while ago.

>I like to imagine that it is Imperial guard slang that is finding growing official use as such guard regiments become more common in the Dark Imperium.
>It is to describe a guard regiment typically found in the Imperium Nihilus that has devolved in equipment uniformity due to supply lines being scarce and/or cut but never short of calls for combat.
>What's their favorite off-brand soda?
Can't think of a favorite beverage at the moment.
>Bonus points if you post models...
I need to stop procrastinating and get a printer. I have loads of guard STLs, and the scruff company concept is just an excuse to use whatever I want provided I keep the insignia/colours of their uniform well uniform, but the shapes and types of uniforms can be different.

No more dudes?
