Amon-Chakay Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 So as you can read at the title i've made my own cover for my codex. I don't know much about colouring with photoshop, and the image had too much black parts, so the colour of the marines can't be seen well (it's scab red), if someone can give me a better image or some hint on how to make it better i'll be thenkfull SO then, here it is^^, and CC welcome and requested please ^_^: http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/5422/codexmedchdaka4.jpg PD: it's in spanish, but you only have to replace it for "Heralds of Amon" in english and done ^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/126026-diy-chapter-codex/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaaish Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 perhaps some better tracking between the "de" and "amon" looks like a badly kerned "deamon" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/126026-diy-chapter-codex/#findComment-1450170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordus Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Oh yeah, liking that. Maybe ill write a codex for my Doomsday Brotherhood some day. Then Mordus could be a special character! Yay! ;) Just wondering, whats different or characterful about the Heralds? Why do they get their own Codex? Just curious, not critisising. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/126026-diy-chapter-codex/#findComment-1450317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amon-Chakay Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Just be careful not to 'distribute' this to anyone and be called out on copyrights. Just dont mention that you 'copy' this... k? I know i know, i'm just making this for my own, or maybe i'll give a copy to the GW managers on the next gamesday on february (in barcelona). My goal is to make my chapter official ^^ (i know it's very very very... difficult, or impossible) or even make him aooear at the WD P: perhaps some better tracking between the "de" and "amon" looks like a badly kerned "deamon" Ok, thanks i'll do it, youre right about that it look like bad kerned Oh yeah, liking that. Maybe ill write a codex for my Doomsday Brotherhood some day. Then Mordus could be a special character! Yay! :lol: Just wondering, whats different or characterful about the Heralds? Why do they get their own Codex? Just curious, not critisising. :P Characterfull, well i have to tell a little about theyre history, so go here i posted the fluff of my Primarch Well this thread is cool, i like all those stories, so here's my primarch: (sorry for my spelling and errors, i'm spanish and my english isn't very good) Name: Amon-Chakay Khar Aqshy'ash Age: More than 10.000 years Special geneseed hability: heavy regeneration Story: Amon was also one of the primarchs that had been lost and went on a planet that was so far from Terra that the emperor didn't find him. It was a wild planet, that was going to die, one half was filled with a huge dense forest, and the other half was dead and dry, he whas finded by a savage tribe of barbarians, and teached by theyre ways of war and honour, he started to fight against the other children and even man, he also was injured many times, but his geneseed seemed to give him a heavy regeneration, so good that even one day a xenos animal who lived at the forests attacked him and take off an arm, but in a week the new arm had grown, at the early age of 18 he become the leader of his tribe and start conquering the forested half of the planet, slaying all the monsters and xenos who lived there. One day, when he was arround the 22 years, an orc invasion started on his planet, he fought them for months, and when there was no hope of surviving the Ultramarines, who had followed the warboss for weeks arrived and saved them. Guilliman recognized him as his primarch brother and taked him and all his surviving tribe to the next planet because the original was going to explote. From that day Amon and Guilliman become very friends, and Amon tried to pay to Guilliman his duty for saving his live. the emperor gave him a legion and Amon called them Marfil Crusaders. Horus sighted his little anrgy against the emperor for not searching for him, and let it grow and focused on him for years. When the heresy started Amon was purging a planet from xenos side by side with Guilliman, and when they finished, the ultramarine's primarch heard about the heresy and tried to talk to Amon, but this answered with canons and boltgun fire. they fought by days, and finally Amon decided to challenge Guilliman on a duel, but he lost and was heavylly wounded and almost left to dead. Guilliman leaved him on that planet and ordered an exterminatus while Amon and his legion was there, but he didn't know that the heretic Marfil warriors left the planet when the exterminatus was launched 2 days after. And when Amon recovered, 2 years after that incident, from his wounds, in the eye of terror, his armour was covered in his own dried blood and decided to change the colour of the armour to that red (scab red) and the name to Heralds of Amon. From that day he promised he would defeat and slay Guilliman and all the Ultramarines, now he goes everywhere of the sistem searching for them and waiting to Guilliman's healing. CC welcome ^^ PD: i've resumed it to be shorter, cause it's 2 pages on word long, i also have names and short storyes for all my characters, that i have... 5, if i don't forget anyone, and my primarch http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...p;#entry1448905 -->Link PD: someone have some better image than that, it's too dark and it's difficult to see the chapter colour :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/126026-diy-chapter-codex/#findComment-1450443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
