Reclusiarch-Chapter Master?


Recommended Posts

Just a quick thought/question.

 

I was having trouble conjuring up an idea for my chapter master so i figured why not make him not only chapter master but reclusiarch as well!

 

Can it be done? I'm not entirely up to date fluff wise and was just wondering if it's plausible that a chapter master succumbed to the red thirst, and the only suitable candidate to fill his position was the chapter's head Chaplain/Reclusiarch. Then being such a gifted individual who performed both roles so well, the chapter decides to keep him doing both roles...

 

Thoughts?

That would be awesommmeeeee! ! !

But hey, the Blood Ravens have a Chapter Master that is also the High Librarian, so go for it. But, if you are going to do that, make sure to get as many Chaplains in the Chapter as possible, because that would give the Chaplains a better position in the chapter, so it would not be impossible that the best of them becomes a CM.

 

Or give a nice reason for it, your choice.

I don't see why not (my barely worked on Angels Vermillion fluff has the chapter led by the Reclusiam).

 

I originally intended to use Astorath's rules as a chapter master, but now go with a Reclusiarch.

Had some great ideas this morning whilst reading the replies:

 

I'll be using as many Chaplains as poosible at all times in my army,

I'll definately be using Astoraths stats for my Reclusiarh-Chapter Master,

 

But it has formed another question. Do I use Lemartes stats for my former Chapter Master after his induction into the DC? [blood crozius will count as a master crafted power weapon*which it is* and liturgies of blood will be used from the other chaplain that will always be attached to him and the squad]

I was thinking of using brother Tychos stats but my chapter (as with all good Blood Angels) are very jump pack orientated...

 

Expect to see some WiP pics soon.

Dunno if this is what you were thinking of but Captain Castigon in my 4th company BA army is going to be used as a "counts as" Reclusiarch.

I figure with him being "Lord adjudicator" and the fact the fluff appears convieniently sparse on exactly what that involves, I can legitamise claiming that he is a figure of special dread and inspiration within the chapter and those brothers in his presense fight with the kind of extra gusto normaly only chaplians evoke.

 

Maybe he is especially close to the reclusiam? Maybe he is the one that "deals" with brothers who succumb to the red thrist and oversees their judgement and subsequent incarceration in the tower? Or maybe he's actually Chuck norris in deep cover, who knows......

 

... All I Know is hes the captain of the 4th company and in my army he counts as a reclusiarch!!!

Still in the bluetac stage and still a few bits and pieces to put on, but what do you all think so far?

I'm using Germanic names for all characters in my chapter and at the moment, I'm tossing up between "Aldric" (meaning something like "old ruler") and "Meigenrad" (meaning something like "strong counsel") I've got others but none really appeal to me as much...I think Reclusiarch Chapter Master Meigenrad sounds good. Quite a mouthful though...[EDIT-just changed the spelling a bit]

Here's some WiP shots of former Chapter Master Verrücksein (who is going to count as Lemartes rules wise)

[sorry if these shots look a lil blurry, I've got the shakes atm!]

[This is the only thing I have an issue with, the shaft of the spear ends where the jump pack boosters are. IMO it would be burnt to a crisp but what do you guys think? can I get away with it?]

Verrucksein will be based high as if he is about to spear an enemy. So a nice and high presence.

Going to add some bits and pieces and some greenstuff to both Verrucksein and Meigenrad tonight so expect some more pics soon...

The only thing I'm not happy with is the greenstuff up in the shoulder, thinking of scrapping that section and starting over.

And this is Verrucksein, based, greenstuffed, almost ready as well.

That's all for now, c & c welcome?

I'm cross posting Meigenrad in WiP forum too.
