#Turanic Raiders

[papapandashipyards]

Some ruminations on Turanic raiders from Homeworld

[ventxekart]

They're sort of like Homeworld-themed transformers.

Homeworld (and II) Infantry concept masterpost (for now of course)

With An Emerald Eye

A Conan Exiles/Sword & Sorcery Roleplay Blog

‘Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!’ Akiro, Conan the Barbarian 

Here lies the tales of those who have been exiled beyond the realms of decent men, beyond civilization and it’s comforts, to the very doorstep of hell and the dark ones whims.  On the precipice of death, those trapped within the Ghost Fence struggle to survive and find some sembalance of humanity that has been all forgotten beyond to the free world.  Murderers, heretics, cannibals, and those of the darkest mind have been sent into the only prison that could hope to curb them.  Their own.

What follows are the the tales of those men and women.   Some good.  Some evil.  All surviving. 

Cast of Characters

Vanguard

Voldrin - a Hyperborean raider, exiled for heresy and the murder of his village; touched by the Elder Night, the warrior was plagued by the whispers of the Olds Ones but within the Ghost Fence has found peace of mind if not body Played by Bill Moseley

Zexx of Zingara - a Zingaran smuggler, exiled for kidnapping and murdering a prince of Zingara; a small time smuggler who had the misfortune of grabbing the wrong crate which he had thought was only some counterfeit goods turned out to be the mummified body of a local prince Played by Bo Burnham

Gall the Cimmerian - a Cimmerian warrior and thief, exiled for the theft of the Stonewright’s Knife and murder of four priests of Stygia; tall and dark skinned the warrior was caught in the middle of a job to steal a magical dagger that could shape stone like wood, resulting in the murder of her partner Played by Jameela Jamil

Sevlaz - a half Shemite, half Turarian former thief turned merchant, exiled for the murder of a prominent Zamoran merchant; the troubled life of Sevlaz stems all the way back to being born a slave who became a son, a thief, a slave, a sacrifice, a murderer, a merchant, and a murderer once again Played by  Omid Djalili

Rearguard

Agra - an from Kush; exiled for patricide  Heru Bin Jehu - an exile from Turan; exiled for murder Lycus of Argos - an exile from Argos; exiled for desertion Naeem - an exile from Kehsan; exiled for dishonor Oda - an exile from Yamatai; exiled by choice Oplisca - a pict sorceror Trex - a stygian priestess

(This is all about my love of pulp fantasy and the sword & sorcery genre.  Big heroes, big adventure, and grim endings.  Conan Exiles is where most of the characters are from as it’s a fun setting and easy to bring in anyone or anything considering the backstory of the area.  I do still play and have recently picked up the newest expansion so if you’d like to play in-game I am most happy to as well, but here is mostly just for writing stories and collaboration.  I’m happy to roleplay via tumblr or discord as well with these characters and hope to fight some mad gods or hordes of mad Vikings with you.)

Stories The Arrival of Zexx A Sword Found

Conan the Brigand

Publisher: Modiphius

Welcome to life outside the law! 

BUT NOT ALL MEN SEEK REST AND PEACE; SOME ARE BORN WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE STORM IN THEIR BLOOD, RESTLESS HARBINGERS OF VIOLENCE AND BLOODSHED, KNOWING NO OTHER PATH

Conan the Brigand is the complete guide to the nomadic brigands of the Hyborian Age, providing the gamemaster and player characters with all the resources to run campaigns that embrace the path of the brigand, or are affected by it. Here within these pages are all the resources needed to bring to life this outlaw world!  

New material to expand your Conan campaign, with brigand-themed castes, stories, backgrounds, and equipment, allowing you to create your own unique brigands, nomads, and raiders. 

A gazetteer covering the kingdoms that Conan and his brigands raided — Khauran, Turan, and the city-state of Zamboula. 

Descriptions of important dignitaries and renegades of the region, including Lord of Khawarizm, Kings Yezdigerd and Yildiz of Turan, Shah Amurath, Queen Taramis and her devilish twin sister Salome, Constantius the Hawk, Baal-ptor the Strangler of Yota-pong, the notorious pirate Sergius of Krosha, and the roguish Zaraporaskan rogue Olgerd Vladislav. 

Beasts and unnatural monsters — vultures, iron statues, desert devils, gigantic rukh, and the Devil in Iron himself, Khosatral Khel. 

A guide to running brigand campaigns, with all-new rules for raiding and plunder, and brigand-themed carousing events to fill the time between raids. 

Gods and magic of the nomadic lands, including cults of Erlik, Ishtar, Tarim, and Yazadi, and magic artifacts such as the legendary Tulwar of Amir Khurum. 

A write-up of Conan during the period he lived and breathed the brigand life, along with his most notorious followers. 

Guidelines for running a desert nomad camp, recruiting brigands, surviving in the hostile environments of the southeast, and descriptions of the rewards and dangers of raiding. 

Developed with leading Conan scholars, this is the place for Hyborian Age desert adventure, just as Howard created it! 

This book requires the Robert E. Howard’s Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of corebook to use.

I guess it is time for me to join this post.

Without particular order:

1. Glorious Heritage class from Andromeda Ascendant

An all-around Heavy Cruiser of the High Guard from the series and a titular ship (first picture). Also comes in gold variation (Pax Magellanic) and with a hot AI android included.

Jokes aside - I had a hard time deciding between this and the Perilous Siege Class from the same series but the latter has very few appearances and even less images available online.

2. Infernus Class Battleship from Warhammer 40k

Ancient vessels from the era of the Great Crusade - larger than standard Battleships of the imperial Navy and armed to boot. What sets them apart however is a singular Exo-Laser installed along the ships entire spine making it a Warhammer equivalent of Space Battleship Yamato.

Only few vessels of this class survived till the 41st millenium and the Imperial Navy usually keeps them stored somewhere as they’re deemed too dangerous to use. Sadly there are no images of them.

3. Turanic Raiders Attack Carrier from Homeworld

After so many years I still want that damn vessel! In the original game you could attach the salvage corvettes to it but no matter how many there were it could not be captured.

As the name implies it’s a carrier but unlike player-built arriers later in the game this one has a decent firepower making it a threat on it’s own.

4. Boron Heavy Hydra from X-Universe.

Again a hard choice between this ship and the Argon Heavy Centaur but despite it being seriously overpriced I always pick this ship at some point in the game. It’s just overall great ship with decent speed/firepower balance and the highest shielding if I recall.

And seriously - even if the armor is lacking the problem with armor is always the repair cost - shields cost nothing to recharge.

5. O’Neill Class Asgard Ships from Stargate.

While many of the Stargate starships are awesome this one in particular will always be my favorite.

The newest class of ship, built by my favorite race from that franchise and featuring all of their best technology - with little improvements proved more powerful even than the Ori starships late in the series.

The only thing that’s a downgrade is the lack of Bilskirnir-class more rough shape.

So I’m getting all hyped because there’s this mod for Homeworld Remaster (Homeworld one is my childhood okay don’t judge me) that adds a bunch of new factions, so I can finally live my dream of playing the Bentusi or the Kadeshi or the Turanic Raiders (read: mystic Farengi, religious zealots in starfighters, and 40K orks with more spaceships). Start up a skirmish to give it a whirl and... constant lag spikes, can’t even start resource collection before I go “screw it, this is unplayably laggy T_T” So yeah. RIP me, 19XX-2017 He died as he lived: a huge freaking nerd.

These.. I've been looking for a larger version of these artwork shots for over a decade.. I've love them as in 1080, and a Taiidan one as well.

Homeworld - The Turanic Raiders by Leo Tierney

Because there is a terrible lack of Homeworld on tumblr and this is an AWESOME reconstruction.

[the-no-good-moonite]

Concept art of the Turanic Raiders (known as pirates one/P1 during production, and also in the game's files) from Homeworld, by the almost unfairly talented Rob Cunningham.

It's not mentioned in the games, but in the manual for HW: Cataclysm it's briefly noted (in the description for the missile corvette) that most of the Raiders require a "liquid membrane environment". 

It does not elaborate on what that exactly is, but I guess it means that at least some of the Turanic Raider ships are at least partially liquid filled? It would make your engineer's work to convert them to your use in the first game no small feat if they were.

The manuals for the first two games are excellent reading (and it's not hard to find PDF's of them), and I wholeheartedly recommend you check them out if you like science fiction and worldbuilding, regardless of whether or not you're interested in the games. Though you should be; they are some of the best games ever made.

Homeworld ttrpg campaign Map

For the Campaign I had the desire to make a complete map of the Homeworld galaxy, and I do mean COMPLETE. I started out with the obvious things: The same Galaxy image used in the game, the loading screens as basis for the exiles path from Kharak to Hiigara, with all the land marks in between. Next I tried to read all avaliable source material for who else is there, of course there was the Bentusi and Turanic Raiders, but they were everywhere and nowhere. The Taiidan are there, both imperial remnants and the Republic establishing itself. The Tobari were mentioned by name, having border disputes with the Taiidan and of course somewhere somehow the the Vaygr are around, expanding slowly. Which only leaves us to come up with the whole god damned rest of the galaxy and the Galactic council. None of the original sources help with that much. Even the TTRPG book mentions: "oh yeah, the council is there, they're comprised of lots of civilisations" -"That's great! Can you give us some specifics about them ? names? The ships they use? their cultures and beliefs? maybe a map or description where they are?" "...nah, make it up Fam" And so I did. I did talk with Norsehound, who has historically made tons of maps for the Homeworld Fandom and even writes for Homeworld Mobile, as well as having had a hand in the ttrpg Rulebook. From that I got his permission to make use of his map material as well and with that I fleshed out the galactic map of the Homeworld universe to my liking.

This is the current version of the map. every little white dot is a place of interest/star system/space station that can be visited by the players. This map does not yet include all the secret stuff. The hyperspace gates, the Progenitor Relics, the hidden pirate bases, maybe even the Biest... As for the civilisations comprising the galactic council, I have made a lot of sketches and will flesh out more and more of them as I go along. I'll get to them specifically in the next post.
