lord draceus Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 sorry about that i was a little off... and now for a little more info... i was thinking about the shadow scythes as sort of an elite sniper kinda chapter and the initiates have the chest plate and shoulder guards white until they reach veteran status when they paint them black thoughts? okay well i`ve been tinkering with some ideas now. for one an element in the water on their planet Khyrador causes a mutation in the melanochrome and unlike their parent chapter they don`t gain black hair and eyes over time instead their eyes and hair become read (not like salamanders their eyes don`t glow) they tend not to lean on chainswords too much, because like the raven guard they favor stealth. and i`m not sure if it`s just for death watch because that`s the only time i`ve heard of it before, they rather tend to have suppressors and scopes on their bolters. *preparing more coffee re-loading bolter* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219037-shadow-scythes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saerivic Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If you're using the newest SM Painter at the top: Click the "Use the Image on the B&C" which will open a small window. Copy the BBCode line it gives you and paste it into your post.

Apothete Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Is a second working thread really necessary? You could always just use the one you started, kill the existing text and title information, and replace it with whatever you were going to place here. Of course, that's assuming that you abandoned the last attempt and moved on to something else.

lord draceus Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 ... well i was thinking training from the blood ravens for a bit but then i realized what was wrong with that . on another note their home world is called khyrador, a mysterious death world who`s sun is eclipsed by a global, endless aurora. and is inhabited by strange crystalline flora and fauna.

soddinnutter Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 'Templars' inspire images of crusading. Which implies Fleet Based Chapter. Also you have to imagine why a crystalline life form would survive in an atmosphere that a human could survive in. The aurora thing as well, how does it work? I know how our aurora works but it is not visible in the day because the sun drowns it out. Also silenced bolters? its hard to get a silent explosion.

lord draceus Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Well they`re sniper based and i read it in a deathwatch story. also the aurora works off the element in the water vapor in the atmosphere and it`s immensely thick so it eclipses the sun as for the crystalline life i`m still working on that. like the description says i`m taking it slow.as for the templars thing i got it from the name generator but you are right i`ll see about something else maybe predators? hunters? i`ll look into it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219037-shadow-scythes/#findComment-2619005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Also silenced bolters? its hard to get a silent explosion. Stalker Pattern Bolter; enhanced sights and a supressor.

The Shiny One Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The color scheme reminds me of Batman, as do the stealth, no chainswords (dont kill) and advanced weapons? Is this intensional or pure accident? And BTW shouldn't the eyes in the picture be red too? And I think the Raven Guard is more the surgical strike army, the Raptors definitly prefer stealth, they even got special bolters too. So your chapter could be trained by them...

The Raptors are renowned for marksmanship even amongst the ranks of the Astartes and do indeed favour stealth; they are also Raven Guard successors.
