Corvi Sanguine Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Will take a look. To be honest with you, the important thing for me was to establish a chapter with everyone who would read this. I wasn't even going to paint an army, I just thought it would be fun to have a combined effort of as many Bolter and Chainsword readers as possible and see what we could come up with. Then put everyones name to it (a petition as such) and submit it to games workshop. I didn't want the credit, I just wanted to see what would happen. I just like the colours. I may start a new thread with the colours and explain myself a bit clearer ;-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217162-ia-emperors-wraiths/page/2/#findComment-2591424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvi Sanguine Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Gonna do a second take on this topic ;-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217162-ia-emperors-wraiths/page/2/#findComment-2591467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Don't start a new thread - keep using this one. Submitting any Chapter to GW would largely be pointless.

Corvi Sanguine Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Wanted people to help create some fluff on a chapter I have liked the name of which is on page 30 of the Space Marine Codex. I'm new to Warhammer 40k and have attempted a background once but completely ballsed it up. I like the following colour scheme and would like to base my chapter on the Celestial Guard Chapter of the planet Erenon. http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb424/benjaminmichaelwood/CelestialGuard-1.jpg?t=1292545668 Can you help me develop some fluff for them as my original idea went by the wayside?

Corvi Sanguine Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Oh and this is their badge from the Codex http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb424/benjaminmichaelwood/CGBadge.jpg?t=1292545850 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217162-ia-emperors-wraiths/page/2/#findComment-2591478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Think up a rough outline of what you want it to be like. Not much just a couple sentences per section. I can then help you grow your few sentences into an IA the length and detail of the Nesewdjet-Nesewdjy(something like that). No, actually I can't. But I can help you make that into an IA. EDIT: I like the new avatar. <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217162-ia-emperors-wraiths/page/2/#findComment-2591479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvi Sanguine Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Well the reason I asked for input is that it is an already established chapter in the codex but there seem to be no details anywhere about it and I like the name. Just want some suggestions really of where I can start with the fluff. I want them to be shiney new, so 25th or 26th founding. I'd like them to have a chapter wide appearance of tanned skin with long straight white hair I plan on fielding a lot of Devastators, and with big guns being common in the chapter. Perhaps a siege type army, used mainly for city and fortification assaults? Anything else you need? Oh, whats an IA?

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 IA= Index Astartes. It's what the things people make in the Liber are called. HAve you read the Guide to DIYing and Octavulg's Octaguide 2.0 that will make even beautiful women turn their heads? You should read those before you continue. It can help you figure out what to do and organize your thoughts into a format.

Corvi Sanguine Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 I read the first part of DIY'ing and changed the chapter name, lol I don't wanna do all this and have GW come along and fluff it out :-) The Celestial Wraiths sounds cool Think the badge will be the profile of a Wraith's face with flowing hair, all in black on the bleached bone pad, what do you think?

Corvi Sanguine Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 The Wraith from Stargate Atlantis suck life force, maybe I could centre them around a psychic theme? The Emperor prophesised a day when mankind would progressively develop psychically, or is this too soon? I know Blood Ravens have lots of Psychers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217162-ia-emperors-wraiths/page/2/#findComment-2591513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvi Sanguine Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Maybe a Blood Raven successor chapter? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217162-ia-emperors-wraiths/page/2/#findComment-2591522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 We don't know the geneseed of the blood ravens and I don't think they would have any successors because of this. What traits do you feel they would have? Lots of psychers is a good start. From these we can figure out what geneseed best suits them, though they can have almost any geneseed no matter what traits they have.

Corvi Sanguine Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Can I ask, the 26th founding, would this be after the Badab War? I like the basis of my chapter being Psychers, what Geneseed would you recommend? As for the 26th founding, would they be a successor chapter from the 25th founding naturally?

Brother Tyler Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I merged the two topics. If you want to change the topic name to reflect the updated name of the Chapter, that's easily done by editing the first post.

Corvi Sanguine Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ok, this is what I have so far, good start, or bad start? http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb424/benjaminmichaelwood/CelestialWraithChapterShoulderPad-1.jpg?t=1292635460 Name: Celestial Wraiths Founding Chapter: Celestial Lions Founding: 26th Founding, 738.M41 Chapter Master: Tiberius Home World: Thraxus Prime Fortress Monastery: The Amethyst Banshee Main Colours: Purple Power Armour and Cream Shoulder Pads with Golden Rims Speciality: Librarians Battlecry: Unknown Estimated Strength: 600 Background By the will of the High Lords of Terra and with the divine blessing of the God Emperor, it is noted that the Celestial Wraiths were created in 738.M41 as part of the 26th founding of Adeptus Astartes. In the infinite wisdom of the High lords, it was decreed that the Celestial Lion’s seamlessly flawless geneseed be used in the creation of these new marines to insure its survival for millennia to come. In hindsight, a truly marvellous idea considering the almost (and somewhat postponed) annihilation of the Celestial Lions Chapter. The Celestial Wraiths set out amongst the stars with relatively small numbers and before long found themselves assisting in one of the major epochs of humanity’s winter years, The Badab War. But their history does not start there... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217162-ia-emperors-wraiths/page/2/#findComment-2592365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
