Blood Angels Successor Chapter


Recommended Posts

Hello to all,

I'm relatively new to Warhammer 40K, that is, I used to play and paint when I was younger and then fell out of love but now some 7 years later I have fallen in love again with the hobby and the awe inspiring universe that is 40K...That and all the new Blood Angels miniatures and codex etc is pretty awesome too...

Ok so onto my dilemma, I love Blood Angels but as any good hobbyist I have a strong desire to create my own successor chapter, and as such I need some advice from those who know more than me!

Here's what I have so far,

Chapter Name: Blood Wraiths

Chapter Master: ?

Head Chaplain: Hiltraud (Currently I am researching germanic names for all my characters, vehicles etc as I intend to keep the more latin names for a more loyalist Ultramarines type chapter Knights of Ultramar or something like that)

Ok the colour scheme is

sm.php?b62c=@haLvy_hIAEG.hLL9J@@@@___hyOv1..__@@___________@@@@@@@@@@@@@@.@________iakk7@@@@_hRfJ7&

That's for regular marines

sm.php?b62c=@haLvy_hIAEG.i8khi@@@@...hyOv1hLL9JhLL9J__@@___________.@.@@@@@@@@@@@hLL9J@___...__iakk7@@@@_hRfJ7&

That's for high ranking marines

For the Death Company I intend to stick with black armour (I do wanna mix it up somehow but I don't know how, they always end up looking like templars!)

I will also include one squad of Sanguinary Guard and they will have white armour (weathered with blue in the recesses)

(I will post a few pics of actual minatures as soon as I find my camera! The colours look more impressive in real life)

So somewhere in the fluff for them I want to include that all Blood Wraith marines have a defect that gives them striking white hair and black eyes, they are considered renegades by the Inquisition and most of the Imperium and as such all of their armour and weapons are very old and weathered, they also have writing on allot of their armour and scrolls etc that state all of their deeds in battle and to prove their loyalty to the imperium. All Blood Wraiths have blacked out all Imperial symbology untill they are considered worthy enough to be deemed a loyalist chapter. They suffer badly from the Black Rage and Red Thirst but this is mostly due to them always rushing into battle to show they are loyal and if not they will die trying...Because they are on a constant campaign against the foes of the Imperium I'm limiting all vehicles. The chapter especially hates Tyranids (It's personal) and as all good Blood Angels there will be a strong emphasis on jet packs and anything that can get in and out of battle quickly and effectively as the Blood Wraiths don't want to clash with the loyalists.

Any suggestions/comments will be greatly appreciated...

Yours in Honour and Faith

Chaplain Hiltraud

Hopefully this gives an idea of what I'm going for with my chapter...

Lookin Good.

I like the colour scheme you got there. The Gold on the commanders really gives them that " been through hell and still standing so don't -----bleep----- with me" look.

 

The white hair sticks out a little to me. Maybe start with a darker gray then highlight them to a brighter shade, then using pure white very sparingly.
