Ferrata Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Well, if you ignore the possibility of doing a true DIY chapter, then it is really a matter of picking a random GW chapter. I have fluffed out three of them myself, two through community projects, and our general approach was "Which colour scheme is the coolest?" "Which name/symbol sparks of the best ideas?". However, reading your post it seems you are more interested in painting/modelling a chapter that has some, if only a little, of background about them.

ironbear Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Yeah that would be a fair assumption i am mainly a painter but on the rare occassion i do play i like to WOW the other person or at the very least get a "cool what are those?

Ferrata Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Well, I have to say for pure colour scheme alone, nothing can beat the Celebrants, but that would be difficult to pull off. Outside of that, just look through the Index Astartes or use the internet to find a scheme you like and paint it.

Octavulg Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Most schemes GW has produced lack both fluff and players. Pick almost anything you like - chances are you'll never meet someone else (check this by punching the Chapter name into the search field on the B&C). Another option would be to pick a DIY Chapter you liked and paint up some of them. The Liber Honorous at the top of this subforum lists a number.

Hubernator Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Iron Lords I've not seen done before anywhere on here so you could do those. Dark Hunters as well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205894-my-diy-chapter/#findComment-2456063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Iron Lords I've not seen done before anywhere on here so you could do those. Dark Hunters as well. Iron Lords though have been done a couple of times on Warseer (most notably by Animatronica - his are awesome).

o3gan Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 In one of the white dwarves games workshop did some sample models called white minotaurs, i thought they looked awsome and tried twice to replicate the scheme, however i couldnt get the desired effect here is a pic of one other than the colour scheme and a few sample models i dont think there is any fluff Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205894-my-diy-chapter/#findComment-2456101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I like the second color scheme, sharply divided into black and white, reflecting a crusader's moral stance. The others seem confused. As for name, your own- Iron Bear- will probably work. As for fluff, maybe they saved a feral world from a Necron incursion, and then recruited this world's natives, who name the xeno "iron bears" after the planet's apex predator? These new recruits adopted the black-and-white color scheme used by the Necron Immortals they encountered, to strike fear in their enemies?

Ferrata Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Merged your two threads together. Looking at your colour scheme, and then this comment: I don't know about anyone else but I've never seen a Mortifactors army It did strike a suggestion, why not do a Mortifactors army? Their colour scheme is similar to the ones you suggested and they have some really cool background to them. If you wish to read a little about them, they appear in one of the Ultramarine books - Warriors of Ultramar.
