Greetings all! Long time lurker, minimal poster. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the much-maligned Mantis Warriors, ever since their portrayal as a noble chapter attempting to redeem themselves in the (admittedly awful) Warrior Brood novel. Has anyone had any thoughts about adding Primaris to this noble Chapter? I have an idea of running the new Primaris units, supported by regular Marine veterans and characters as the Praying Mantidae. It would be great to see any work you guys have made in this direction, as sadly there does not seem to be a strong showing for my favourite Chapter. For the Emperor! For Redemption! For the Mantis Warriors! For the Mantis Warriors! -
I figured this would be best in here, as they're successors to the Scars, albeit via the Marauders. Which tactics do you all feel fits them? And if faced with using the successors chapter tactics, which ones fit? I think Tactical Withdrawal is very fitting, considering the background for the Badab War using hit and run tactics. What of the other tactics?

So a few weeks ago I decided to dive into white. Since a lot of my projects are coming to a close I wanted my Raptors Chapter collection to primarily consist of Phobos Marines and well since I have a lot of non Phobos Raptors in green I decided to add some yellow and make em Mantis Warriors because they are a White Scars Successor. So far I think I have close to 4K points to repaint slightly and well hand painting Mantis Warriors logo is a pain. I’ll post what I have done so far and post my progress.

Much fanart of the Mantis Warriors Chapter depict them as samurai-ish. I was wondering what this idea is based on, since nothing in their description (that I have seen) says samurai to me*? Or is it just a question of somebody doing them as samurai and later people just picking it up? * more than any other warrior culture/group Some examples: Astral Claws, Badab, Huron, Space Marines, Warhammer 40,000 - Masters of Badab - Gallery - DakkaDakka | One Dakka just isn't enough.

I am new to the game, and am interested in creating an army based on my favorite legion, the Mantis Warriors. I was wondering if it would be possible to take the Mantis Warriors with the White Scars chapter tactic, as they are a successor legion. I also have a few specific characters I would like to represent in my army, so does anyone have suggestions for a list incorporating these guys- Khoisan Neotera- Chapter Master Ahazra Redth- Chief Librarian Shaidan- Not sure exactly what this guy is but I loved him in Warrior Brood Sergeant Magdir- Leads a squad of Devastators Sergeant Honir- Leads a squad of Terminators Blader- A Veteran Marine Sergeant Ruinus- Another Devestator squad Aegir- Chaplain Soron- Assault squad
