InquisitorHayn Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I think I understand where you're going and I believe that a majority of the issues with this concept stem from a problem of misguided perception. This chapter, if I am hearing you correctly, did not begin with the lack of the carapace. The Adeptus Terra would never allow it. What you are saying is that, over what could be a considerably career of service, the chapter's geneseed became corrupted and defective. If this were the case, they would more than likely have at least a similar level of AdMech connection to that of other chapters as well as some members who had survived since before the geneseed corruption (aka HQs and SCs) . In addition, they probably would have an honored history of service to the Imperium. The geneseed flaw essentially makes them superhuman stormtroopers which is still quite impressive, to say the least, and would be far from useless in the eyes of the Imperium. At the very least, they would probably be afforded the honor of continuing to serve as an elite asset alongside other Imperial forces or perhaps even as a supplementary resource from which other forces could draw. For example, following DoW, scouts are utilized in the Deathwatch as well as marines. A chapter without the conventional warfare potential of "normal" marines would still be an incredible asset to the clandestine operations of such a special unit or Inquisitorial task force.

InquisitorHayn Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 BTW its ultra geneseed.. i wanted to have them as one of the 23 2nd founding chapters This somewhat flies in the face of the do's and don'ts of DIY but, as far as I'm concerned, if there's no major contradiction with established fluff then all is well and more power to you. Great ideas coming from you. Love the scout fascination. The tactica made me all warm and fuzzy.

War Angel Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 im confused, was the mutation always there? or is it new? Cause if it hadnt always exsisted, there would be a small amount of veterans who still have there black carrapace, these could make up youre veterans and youre HQ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186718-creating-a-flawed-chapter/page/2/#findComment-2222548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Debonair Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 BTW its ultra geneseed.. i wanted to have them as one of the 23 2nd founding chapters OK, I see where you're coming from. But is making them 2nd founding really neccessary? What do you stand to gain from it that you couldn't gain from 3rd or 4th founding? Choosing either of those will spark less complaints from folks, and your chapter can still have centuries of service under it's belt.
