Drichar Deis Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 This is just a placeholder as I work on my Chapter, I have various parts recorded in draught, when I get the time, it will be transferred to here :) I work a nine day week, so this will take a while to come together. The Sons of Sidonia Space Marine Chapter 22nd founding Geneseed of Gulliman stock. Present Chapter Master: Drichar Deis Chapter Badge A black sword over a red planatoid on a yellow field. Chapter Motto "More than man, more than machine" Meaning "More than man" - We are genetically enhanced super humans. "More than machine" - We have our faith to guide us where logic fails. Pre-Battle Prayer "Our Emperor, who has called us to put on the armour of faith and to take the sword of salvation, give thy grace we pray thee, to the Sons of Sidonia that we may fight dutifully under thy banner against all evil, and waiting on thee to renew our strength, may mount up with wings as eagles, in thy name, who livest and reignest ever one god, rule without end, glory forever, our lord." Battle Style Hard and Fast, Acheive battlefield supremacy through superior firepower, The SoS typically hold a position on the battle field raining heavy fire upon the enemy whilst land speeders harass them. Organisation I am thinking to leave the SoS pretty Codex pure, except for Assault squads being predominantly in Land Speeders. Religion The SoS follow the "Pius" cult, revering the memory of "ollanius pius", admiring the fact that one humble man can stand up to such evil. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/sidrioswin/Ollanius_Pius.jpg Chapter banners Banner of the Emperor Banner of Sidonia Banner of Pius Home World, The Planet Sidonia, In Segmentum Tempestus. A blasted death world of sand, rocks and cutting winds. Inhabited by nomadic people of stone age skill. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/sidrioswin/OPFOR/Opfor.jpg Battles of note: The SoS defeated "Dedruf's Reker Boyz" Deathskull clan on the Industrial world of "Sawyers Landing". The SoS put down a mutant revolt on the agri world of "Medina". The Sos defeated the renegade PDF force of "Col Bidvest" on "Winzoria". The SoS purifyed the desert planet "Roamer" of a genestealer cult that had taken control of its promethium producing facilities.

The Normish Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 The color scheme reminds me of another Chapter, but I don't have my Codex at hand to check on it... The Chapter badge sounds good, I'd like to see that. Unknown Primarch is a sort of cliche route, so I look forward to seeing how you make it unique. Plasma Weapons? The only other Chapter I know of that specializes in plasma are the Dark Angels, and they're First Founding, so they have access to all that technology. given any thought to what founding you want to put your Chapter in?

Malthe Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I assume the name of your chapter is also a placeholder? If not I would advise you to be somewhat more subtle in your references :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214262-the-sons-of-sidonia/#findComment-2550215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecritter Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Unknown Primarch? Just how does everyone in the universe forget who you are? AdMechs must know, High Lords must know ... so you must know.

Marius Perdo Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 After Musing on it (pun deliberate) I think turning Cydonia into Sidonia doesn't really hide the source of the name ;) Â As for the colour scheme looks a bit like the Fire Lords but also like Iron Man. Â Personally whenever I see Knights in a Chapter name I think of metalslics.

The Normish Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Well, Cydonia is also some city in Crete and that place on Mars with the face (isn't Wikipedia great?), so there's plenty of room for thematic evolution with the same name.

Drichar Deis Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Ok, Name change, "The Sons of Sidonia"? Better? And no I wasnt thinking of MUSE, Im more of an old school OZZY fan myself :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214262-the-sons-of-sidonia/#findComment-2552095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malthe Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Well I'd remove the word Sidonia entirely, to avoid possible misconceptions, but a name is a very personal thing so stick with what you like <_< Â Cool motto by the way, what's its significance?

The Normish Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 What's the problem with Cydonia/Sidonia, anyway? I'm not really getting it. It's the Greek Goddess of heroic endeavor, a place in Crete, and Mars's face. What is the problem here? Â EDIT: Oh, I see. There's a popular rock band called "Muse" and they made a song with that same name. Still don't see how it can be a problem, considering all its other associations.

Octavulg Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'd just call them the Sons of Cydonia. Sidonia I keep thinking is Sid-Own-Ia. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214262-the-sons-of-sidonia/#findComment-2553805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drichar Deis Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 Minor changes, long way to go yet :lol: Its messy I know, but it will come together! Octavulg is correct in his interpritation, SID-OWN-E-A. My main bugbear at the moment is the Primarch, as that affects a lot.

Ace Debonair Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 My main bugbear at the moment is the Primarch, as that affects a lot. Go with Ultras. Their geneseed is the blank slate of 40k - a chapter with UM geneseed can be almost anything. :P Â EDIT: And I recommend any founding other than the 26th founding. Seriously. Everyone and his dog always picks the 26th. Dare to be different - be an older chapter! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214262-the-sons-of-sidonia/#findComment-2558571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Normish Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Agreed, Ultramarines is the way to go if your undecided. As for the founding date, I wouldn't take a recent one either. Mine used to be, but I found the short time-line extremely limiting, so I scaled back to the Age of Apostasy. Now I have too much time, but I can flesh out my chapter's personality. Older foudings are better. Â EDIT: Dang it! I lost my 1337 posts status!

Drichar Deis Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Ok, 22nd founding then just after the AoA, and Gulliman it shall be, after all, the Mortifiers dropped a long way from the tree......

Sigismund Himself Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 There's not much to work with at the moment. And in a way, that's a good thing :pirate: The best thing to do when you start off with a chapter is to think of their theme. What makes them different from the other 999 chapters out there? What is their basic driving force (ie. why do they get out of bed in the morning) or character of the chapter? From there, you can extrapolate how this affects the other aspects of the chapter, but getting this will help a lot with that. Good luck!
