I recently read about the War of the False Primarch and thought about building an army based on them. The short story is that in M33 a "false primarch" appeared and rallied 11 chapters to his side, so the high lords of terra formed the "pentarchy of blood" to stop him. This battlegroup was formed of the most brutal bastards the Imperium could cough up; the Carcharodons, Red Talons, Charnel Guard, Death Eagles and Flesh Eaters. I've been trying to figure out an army list to work towards that can reflect the individual natures of these chapters but still work coherently and not just be an "alphabet soup" army. Carcharodons - Raven Guard (possibly Night Lords or chimerical); lots of ancient wargear dating back even to the Unification Wars Red Talons - Iron Hands; so lots of cybernetics and heavy weapons Charnel Guard - Blood Angels; noted for lots of pre-heresy war gear and they have the look and smell of rotting corpses Flesh Eaters - Blood Angels; raving psychotic cannibals Death Eagles - Raven Guard (possibly Emperor's Children; noted to have normal skin/hair/eyes) This gives me a good range of options including heavy assault, armor and blitzkrieg. So far I have tried a 7E list as Deathwatch with each chapter having a different kill team as well as a 9E list that gives more troops/options. Any ideas or feedback?
