Blitzkreig Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 So I was reading another thread about the 2 lost legions and their primarchs and the thought occured to me...... Now I know it is a big no-no to say "my chapter is one of the lost legions" but has anybody ever done a chapter which simply says "their gene-seed came from Legion II"?

Ferrata Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 There has been a number of chapters of the years which have had their gene-seed from the lost legions. Personally, I don't see the point. I don't know what can be added to a chapter with this plot hook that cannot be done as equally as well through one of the other nine gene-seed options. It just seems like a big "I r special" badge :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206296-the-2-lost-legions/#findComment-2461122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Erebor Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I would think it'd be sorta silly to come out and say the geneseed was from a lost legion, althoughhhh, if you wrote it well, and alluded to the fact that it MAY have come from a lost legion, that could be interesting. The chapter could be on a search to find their true origins or something Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206296-the-2-lost-legions/#findComment-2461573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thirst Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 . The chapter could be on a search to find their true origins or something Like the Blood Ravens Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206296-the-2-lost-legions/#findComment-2461906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I certainly seem to remmebr reading several variations of "from teh 2nd Legion", or "remnants of the 2nd legion", or "a chapter with an unknown primarch but descended form the 2nd legion" type thing. To be honest, none of them seem to have been written well enough to have been worth me actually remembering anything else about them. And I remember some downright freaky things... Maybe there's a lesson in there somewhere - good writers know how to avoid an area that bad writers jump straight into (and promptly sink without a trace). Edit - Logical problem for you as well: How can you know that they're from a legion that has ahd all its records erased? So there's no record of what geneseed they had, or anything?

This is the perfect opportunity to write something witty about 'Fools rushing in where Angels of Death fear to tread', but I'm too tired to coherently make a good joke from it.
