chaplain belisarius Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have an idea for a chapter-the crusaders! gene seed-imperial fists colour scheme-purple armour with gold trim. chapter badge-maltese cross (worn on both shoulders) speciality/theme-bike riding knights! organisation-non codex, consists of 10 crusades (same size as codex company roughly) Im planning on using black templar bits to make my bikers look suitably knightly. Any thoughts on this so far? will add more when i think of it...:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212039-idea-for-a-marine-chapter-ive-had/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Should probs be in the Liber Astartes zone, that's the place for DIYs and feedback on them. (Note some people will sound harsh there, but they mean well. It's just they've looked at tens of these things before) So far we haven't much to work with. The name is a tad obvious, possible case of overtheming and really all Marines crusade for the Emperor. I don't know if you have read the Guide to DIYing but I would advise it. It's a massive help and if nothing else an interesting read. Good luck :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212039-idea-for-a-marine-chapter-ive-had/#findComment-2522540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatus Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 gene seed-imperial fists colour scheme-purple armour with gold trim. Sounds like the Soul Drinkers...

The Normish Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 gene seed-imperial fists So far so good... colour scheme-purple armour with gold trim. A little Soul Drinkers, a little Pre-Heresy Emperor's Children... A nice scheme, if a tad unoriginal. chapter badge-maltese cross (worn on both shoulders) Depending on the color of the cross, could be very good looking. speciality/theme-bike riding knights! I'm sure I've seen this before, in a very similar vein... Well, with more fleshing out, it's bound to be unique. organisation-non codex, consists of 10 crusades (same size as codex company roughly) So, they are Codex? Seems like 10 Crusades with Company size can just be called Companies - or are the structures within them different? Im planning on using black templar bits to make my bikers look suitably knightly. Sounds good to me. Any thoughts on this so far? will add more when i think of it...;) Well, it could be very interesting, but it could also be very generic. I wouldn't focus so much on their knightly theme so much as their History and actions, while still emphasizing the Space Knights thing. Also, you simply must think of a better name than "The Crusaders". What is their personality, their demeanor? do they have a sacred quest? Are they charged with prtecting something? Is a character in Astartes History particularly important to them?

chaplain belisarius Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 thanks for the feedback! im thinking they are fleet based and mostly recruit from feudal worlds? organisation-organised into 10 companies (called crusades, consisting or about 120 marines but organised like a great company or whatever) Chapter master leads 1st company. Company captains wield relic blades as a mark of office. I like bikers but im not too keen on the white scars background so i thought of focusing on the knightly theme (hence the preference for bikes) plus i can use a load of black templars bits to make my crusaders look cool..
