Hello guys, after a while away I'm slowly getting back into the hobby (Kill- team at least). Going back the my roots with the blood angels, I've been working a little on my own successors. Listening to Devastation of Baal has inspired this little project also reading the Bloodquest 40k comics and replaying the Soul Reaver games. Angels Venaria (Hunting Angels) Founding M.34 Geneseed: Sanguinius Homeworld: Nosgarath Fortress: The Pillar of Silence Chapter Master: Raziel the Soul Eater A dark chapter of the sanguinary brotherhood, the Angels Venaria are secretive yet renowned Xenos hunters. An insular and often isolationist chapter, they have many dark secrets and have been thought lost many times throughout their history. Despite their blood thirsty endeavours, they have a compassion for humanity that is little shown by other astartes, perhaps to alleviate the guilt of their transgressions. A crusading chapter, their Venator fleets range into the depths of Imperial space and the void beyond, hunting their chosen prey in the Eldar and all their kin. In order to slake their lust for battle and blood, enacting the necessary crimson harvest their brothers demand. They are forever searching for the relics and archotech they believe will save their chapter from the genetic afflictions that could eventually see them all dammed. Angels Venaria Kill-Team - The Exiles - My Character line up - V.Sgt Malakaius - The First Fang Aged veteran commander, psychically afflicted with the chapters darkest secret. Kandinor The Rageful Fallen Sanguinary Guard, verging on the edge of his sanity. Brother Rapha the Swordsman Assault marine, famed master Swordsman. Gunner Lucion Flamesinger Veteran gunner, artist with a Flamer. Brother Viko the Patient Stealth hunter and exceptional marksman. Brother Dhuma the Dour Tactical genius, advisor, stalwart astartes. Brother Zahriel Bone Taker Macabre brother, fixated upon death both his and the foes. totem of death. Brother Phosan - Keeper of the Sceaming Skulls. Veteran marine, Vox comm and recon specialist. Brother Kryphon the Whirlwind Grim devastator, walking missile battery. Brother Crestoff the Vengeful Honoured Veteran, on a personal quest of vengeance. Brother Darakan the Insatiable Veteran warrior, with an unquenchable thirst. V.Sgt Malakaius Brother Rapha the Swordsman Heavy gunner - gunner - warrior 3 warriors "To feast upon the vitae of the Xenos is a necessary shame, To devour the rotten husk of the corrupt is abomination, To feed upon the life essence of those we swore to protect is eternal damnnation. We are the saviours of mankind, humanity is not our prey, they are the herd we were bred to protect." I'm in the process of converting and building these marines, the chapter does not even have a set color scheme as of yet but I have a few ideas. I'll be updating this as I go.

FERRYMEN ADEPTUS ASTARTES: REVILERS CHAPTER CONCEPT: NARRATIVE SUMMARY (Max 100 Words): Sergeant Ravyx Atton leads a Phobos Strike Team from the secretive Revilers Space Marine Chapter. When the navigators of a Torchbearer fleet are incapacitated by a psychic trap, becalming them in Magellan’s Crucible – a fluctuating passage through the Cicatrix Maledictum – Atton and his men deploy to the embattled world of Aluxan to sequester their psychic novices, in order to save the fleet and prosecute the will of Roboute Guilliman. Strike Team: Charon must infiltrate and evade the legions of rebels to effect a rescue, and thwart a deadly plot by the Alpha Legion, before time runs out EXTRACT (Max 500 Words): Racing to the door, Atton tore smoke grenades from his body webbing, hurling them down either corridor, before stepping out, sweeping the carbine left and right. Telemetry depicted where the rest of his team were, and they moved as fast as he, efficiently from room-to-room. His foot smashed doors in, then a shock grenade, followed by a sweep of the space with the carbine. He set the weapon stablight to strobe, for maximum disruption, erupting into the confined quarters at the same moment as the pummelling concussion thundered. Heretics were blasted off their feet by the detonation, before the scene became a series of flash-picter images. Atton executed them with tight shots from the suppressed carbine, not a round wasted. He was grateful for the forward grip; the mobility of the weapon was exceptional. Moving to another room, he repeated the sequence, and it sounded like a storm was battling to escape the temple. Great bolts of noise were quelled by the baffles in his auto-senses. Heretics reeled from his attack, hands pressed to cover popped eardrums, before Atton put them out of their misery with a wicked volley. One of them, mutated into a hulking brute, crashed through the wall before he could ready his next bomb. It roared at him, grappling him from behind, in a slew of plaster and stonework. The mutant’s clutching claws snapped the strap on his bolt carbine, sending it spinning away, as the creature barrelled forward, trying to make him a permanent fixture within the opposite wall. The power of his foe was tremendous, muscle-corded arms wrapping his body, trapping his limbs, rivalling his Rubicon-wrought strength. Anger spurred defiance. Atton pushed off with his feet, hurling both combatants back through the jagged gap the mutant had opened, and they tumbled together crunching furniture and ripping down hanging silks. The heretic-beast shifted grip, clamping its paw over his face, fingers fused into two long talons, hooking onto his skull mask and trying to wrench his helmet off. The change gave him a chance, and he got his left arm free, seizing a broken table leg and thrusting it up behind him where his Lyman’s Ear discerned the enemy’s voice box. Clotted, guttural bellowing announced his success, and he twisted the stake, breaking it off, the pressure on his ribs vanishing as the brute grasped to remove the painful splinter. As they writhed, rolling across the floor, the mutant trapped Atton’s neck more by luck than skill, but even as the pressure warning indicator flared dangerous amber sigils, Atton’s hand closed on his heavy bolt pistol. Four shots pumped into the brutal knot of twisted muscle behind him. He didn’t care where he was hitting, Atton trusting that the Emperor’s ordained tools would do the work. The mutant howled even as its organs were pulverised, a strangled human note to the plaintive cry, before Atton punched the barrel under its blubbery chin, and blew its mismatched, horned head off in a shower of red-grey gruel. ++++++++++

so, Berzul's thread Calling the banners of the Knights of the Order! reminded me of a project I wanted to do. Essentially, much like Chapter Master Valrak and his Last Wall Protocol force of Primaris marines, I'm going to make the First Legion reborn with Primaris, as my Firstborn are all in the 30k scheme (as they're intended for the Horus Heresy) An army made of the Dark Angels and their successors, both canon and homebrew. So, I am calling all descendants of the Lion: If you have a successor, who are they, what Founding, what are their colours and heraldry, and what Primaris marine unit would fit them the most? These can include normal units, solo characters and vehicles. If you can, please post an image of your successor here, along with a breakdown of their colour scheme so I'll know how to paint them accurately (paints used in scheme will be a help). I'll start with the following examples: The Northern Lions: A Second Founding successor. In general, a combined-arms force, their specialization is that they're non-specialized, with a preference for ranged. Chapter symbol is a golden lion head on a blue field. Majority blue armour, with bone/cream thigh and arms, use gold trim. Their elite formation, the Livgardet, instead has entirely blue armour with silver trim.

Hello all, With the upcoming release of White Dwarf 468, we will be getting a more in depth look at the Wolfspear chapter, as well as iconography, a chapter symbol and their organization. I wanted to take the time to add a more in-depth discussion about them as our first successor (barring the Wolf Brothers), as well as make available any resources about them. Right now, we have the introduction page of the white dwarf index: As well as the transfer sheet: From this, we can already see and conclude that the Wolfspear are organized into what looks like eight Jarldoms, which must be their breakdown as compared to Great Companies or Companies in a normal chapter. There are some shared iconography with the Space Wolves chapter, but some other differences, where it looks like battleline, close support and fire support units have a squad marking of some kind instead of the painted geometric symbols of the Space Wolves. We should be getting more information as the magazine gets closer to release, although it will be late here in the US. In the shown White Dwarf pages on the bottom right box of the second page, we can also see a subtle mention of another Successor chapter, the Icefangs, but that is a saga for another time I think.

Greetings my fellow Unforgiven. It seems like the return of our Primarch is all but certain, especially with The Knight tarot card literally mirroring his Heresy model. However this has me caught up in a bit of an issue. Would it be thematically appropriate to have the Lion leading a Successor Chapter (in my case a 3rd Generation Successor) without any Dark Angels in the force? I feel like, despite the Lion being the Primarch, without some Dark Angels in the force it wouldn't be right to have him leading it. Instead, a force lead by the Lion should be primarily Dark Angels and include representatives of their Successors. TL;DR would it be thematically okay to have the Lion leading a Successor force without any Dark Angels, or should Successors be a token force in a Dark Angels army under the Primarch?

Shenandoah Knights Chapter http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/sm.php?b62c=@haiWu_hly1H.iakk7____@@@.@_@@..@@@@@@@@@@@hXD48@hXD48@@@@@@@@@@@_hksDA@@@@@@@@@____hksDA.&grid=TRUE Origins It is believed that the Shenandoah Knights chapter were formed as part of the 25th Founding. As it is around this time that the first mentions of the chapter appear in Imperial records. Home World The Shenandoah Knights claim the Shenandoah system in the Segmentum Pacificus as their home and maintain chapter keeps, which bear the title of Knight's Keep, on the inhabited planets in the system. They are Kyboro, Atlantica, Urangara and Lydale. Prior to the Shenandoah Knights claiming the system, it had a proud military history and provided many regiments, which were collectively referred to as the Shenandoah Guard for the Imperial Guard and while the numbers may have dropped, it is tradition that is still continued. Gene-Seed The gene-seed of the Shenandoah Knights is that of the Imperial Fists Legion and they share many of the same traits of that chapter. The chapter shares many personality with the Black Templars and claim their first generation's gene-seed came from the tithes of Black Templars to Terra Organisation The Shenandoah Knights maintain many of the traditions of their parent chapter, one of which is that the chapter is fleet based, even though they claim a system as their own, if not a single world. However their organisation strongly resembles that of the Black Templars, but rather than an ad hoc organisation like that of the Black Templars, the chapter is organised into 4 Priories, three of which are about equivalent in size to that of 3 companies from other chapters and each include their own Armoury, Reclusium and Apothecarium. The fourth Priory is called The Grand Priory, which is the Priory of the Grand Master and includes the chapter’s senior ranks. The chapter has a small number of Terminator suits that are used by the veterans of the Grand Priory. Recruitment The ways that the Knights recruit on each planet varies. However while each Priory recruits from all the planets in the system, each one tends to recruit from a specific planet more than the others and this in turn has had an affect on the character of each Priory. Combat Doctrine Due to being a fleet based chapter that seldom comes together in one place, each Priory has developed their own idiosyncrasies. The third Priory which favours assault over ranged fighting, has a higher number of assault troops. Whereas the second Priory which favours long range tactics, has a higher number of fire support troops. Beliefs The people of the Shenandoah system are strong believers of the Imperial Creed and as such they venerate the Emperor as the God of Man and this has influenced the chapter's own beliefs. This has meant that the chapter have a strong and close relationship with the Ecclesiarchy and the Adepta Sororitas an it's not uncommon for the Knights to be seen fighting alongside Adepta Soroitas forces. But as you can imagine this belief has caused them to have a somewhat strained relationship with other Astartes chapters who do not share their beliefs. Battle Cry To date there has been no recorded battle cry. It almost seems as if the chapter fights in silence and communicate via vox when needed. The only time during battle that anything is uttered is when they have to communicate with another force Notable Member of the Shenandoah Knights Grand Master Waddell - Waddell is the chapter's current Grand Master, He is the second to hold the office in the chapter's history. Grand Master Bulloch - Bulloch was the Shenandoah Knight's first Grand Master and was killed in a warp accident upon the Battle Barge Sea King. The chapter's flagship.

So I've decided to paint some White Consuls as thats what I was thinking when I got back into the hobby back in January. I was doing Dark Angels but I'm really not feeling them at all (I even vowed to do a Deathwing squad in the Dark Angels subforum but I honestly can't be bothered with the DA so I'm gonna be an oathbreaker it seems! ) and I've always loved the Ultramarines and their successors and always find myself drawn back to them. Started with the Corax white Spray Primer and then I've used Ulthaun Grey as a basecoat and this is as far as I've got so far until I know what colour helmet a Consuls hat is. I'm thinking Blue as they seem by their fluff to go inverse of the Ultras. Also brought some Easy to build Intercessors as they're cheap and easy to spray up etc and I'm thinking of using this one without the vox or sensor or whatever he holds usually. And finally for now I also brought a easy to build Dreadnought that was already built and sprayed in Caliban green. I've used Biostrip 20 to get the undercoat off and I've just sprayed it with Corax white so I'll add the Ulthaun grey next over the next few days

Good day to you all, sons of Sanguinius. As part of the Liberalia Martiale, I come bringing a thought experiment, mainly to jig some of those old creativity cells in your noggin. Now, as we all know, Blood Angels successor chapters exhibit certain traits, as codified by the various codices dedicated to the Blood Angels. However, in the wide, wide galaxy that is the Imperium, anything can happen. What if these traits exhibited themselves differently? What if you had to represent the Death Company in a totally different way? Perhaps through the lens of a different codex. But which one? Dark Angels? Space Wolves? Vanilla? That choice is up to you. The point to the exercise, as suggested in the title, is to think outside of the box. For example: The Red Sentinels A later founding of Blood Angel stock, the Red Sentinels operate on the border between the Segmentum Solar and the Segmentum Tempestus. The Chapter, known and respected for their monastic ways, have often not only revered Sanguinius as their gene-father, but also as the son of a deity - the God-Emperor. Sanguinala marks the holiest day for the Red Sentinels, held in higher esteem than even the Feast of the Emperor's Ascension. For the Red Sentinels, the Death Company are fielded on bikes and land speeders, to bring swift death to the foes of the Imperium. Sent on long ranging sorties and penetrating strikes alike, it is surprising that those afflicted have enough control to ride the vehicles long enough to make contact - even if many dismount upon contact with the enemy. As you can see, we have a Blood Angels chapter treated like a Dark Angels chapter on the tabletop, and yet they are still nominally Sanguinius' progeny. Now, this is nothing too serious, it doesn't have to be a work of art or a nominee for the Booker prize, just a little mental jiggery pokery that lasts about two paragraphs. Let's see what you got. Have fun.

Just getting back into the hobby after being gone for about 9 years. Making my own chapter that was founded after the first Terran Crusade by the Black Templars and Imperial Fists. Think World War stormtrooper types. Use BT rules. C&C welcome. Plan on adding some fluff as I go also
