Captain Apollo Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hey guys im making a Marines Exemplar Company and i wanted to make two of my Sergeants a black because i feel that 40k doesnt show minorities enough (or at all), what do yall think? I already got a site to get the heads but i think i heard somewhere that there is a gene seed that keeps their skin white for some reason, anyone care to tell me what yall think? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215924-minority-space-marines/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogging Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Well I don't know about the Marine Exemplars specifically, but nearly all Marines can change their skin color due to the Melanochrome implant. The only exceptions that I know of are the Raven Guard and its successors(white) and Salamanders(black). I assume you mean minorities according to the USA, since most minorities in the USA aren't minorities in the world :D , but there are entire chapters quasi based around non white "races", like the White Scars(asian), Crimson Fists(hispanic), etc..

Captain Apollo Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 hey yeah man i forgot about those, i guess the general consensus with the Exemplars is Ultramarines gene seed but im not to happy with that, but oh well, what about mixed races?

Heru Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 A number of my DIY Chapters are race specific (three middle eastern, one african etc) and a couple have mixed races (my Onyx Warlord's companies consist of different races per company).

Captain Juan Juarez Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 A while ago, we had the "What race are your Marines?" thread about "minorities" in DIY Chapters, I can't remember the exact title so have no linky.

UltimateJake Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Been there my man. On the left, we have the classic fro. On one of my sergeants. On the right, dreads.http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss63/Shortsonfire82/IMG_2643.jpg Extremely bad ass. As for races I am sure that all companies have different ethnic groups in them. I mean they recruit anyone who is tough enough and there are tough guys in all the ethnicities.

The Normish Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I tried a black Marine once... He looked like a burn victim, so I stick with what I know. EDIT: Although technically my Space Marines should be multi-ethnic (since they recruit from a variety of worlds), I like the "they end up looking like their Primarch" idea. So, Rogal Dorn: white skin, blond/white hair... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215924-minority-space-marines/#findComment-2576900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Apollo Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 ah so we got another son of Dorn eh? anyway, i think if their born genes are strong enough (i.e. being a different ethnicity) then they will prevail in the end. Even Garvial Loken wasnt a son of horus so not all space marines carry traits of their primarch. Sorry if im rambling and i dont mean to belittle what u said about ur army im just rambling about nonsense, any way the reason why i wanted a multi racial army is because my fiance told me i should make my company champion morgan freeman, but unfortunately i cant find an SF heroic 28mm head set for him so im just going to settle with the head set from Dragon Forge lol, also i prefer myself a son of Dorn also in the term of relating to him and his successor chapter's philosophies lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215924-minority-space-marines/#findComment-2576939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 those are so beyond awesome i cant even describe it lol Thanks, tried an Asian skin tone (Chinese, like myself) but couldn't really get it much different than the 'white' that you normally see. I haven't tried Pacific Islander yet. Indian and Middle Eastern may be interesting too, though you wouldn't really be able to tell what 'ethnicity' they are just by skin tone. And yes... FOR DORN! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215924-minority-space-marines/#findComment-2577040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
