ShadowReaver Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hey guys this is my chapter colour scheme and background. Take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks COMMIT TO:COMMANDER DEQUARD EST 02/089943 INQUISITORIS 99894/1212 CROSSFILE TO: MISSING ADEPTUS ASTARTES INPUT DATE 2332554.M41 INPUT CLEARENCE: {records expunged} AUTHOR : {records expunged} TRANSMITTED: ALPHA CONTARIS TRANSMITTER: {ASTROPATH {data missing} THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:THE EMPEROR PROTECTS ++++ BEGIN VOX RECORD+++ Commander here is the information you requested on the renegade chapter "Shadow Reavers" The chapter was last known operating in the Northern Sector near the Ork Controlled System Jagga. What is known of them is as follows: Their home planet of Umbra is a death planet on the north eastern fringe. This planet was long ago stuck by terrible warp storms, which scared its face and slowed down the rotation of its orbit. As such the planet spends most of its orbit behind its bigger sister planet Darnok. This means that for most of its year the Umbra is in Darkness. They are a chapter of the 13th founding and as such no Gene Seed Sample is available for analysis. The chapter has not been officially recognised in almost two centuries but it is reported that during some of the campaigns against hive Kraken behemoth that two companies of Shadow Reavers helped secure vital objectives. The Shadow Reavers seem to have a special bond with the battle brothers of the Ultramarines chapter and have been known to appear in the most dire of circumstances to aid them. This unity is shown on the Reaver's armour itself. Each battle brother boasts homage to the Ultramarines by painting half of their helmet in the ultramarines own battle colour. +++ VOX RECORD ENDS +++ Inquisitor's note: Although the chapter has been declared renegade it should be taken into consideration that they have assisted the ultramarines secure objectives numerous times and should not be engaged without official authorisation Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222959-the-shadow-reavers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generating Random Name... Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 They are a chapter of the 13th founding and as such no Gene Seed Sample is available for analysis. Why? And are there no records either? The chapter has not been officially recognised in almost two centuries but it is reported that during some of the campaigns against hive Kraken behemoth that two companies of Shadow Reavers helped secure vital objectives. I'm pretty sure Kraken and Behemoth were to separate hive fleets The Shadow Reavers seem to have a special bond with the battle brothers of the Ultramarines chapter and have been known to appear in the most dire of circumstances to aid them Why? Are they an Ultramarine progenitor? Inquisitor's note: Although the chapter has been declared renegade it should be taken into consideration that they have assisted the ultramarines secure objectives numerous times and should not be engaged without official authorisation Why are they renegade? Also I think that if they are renegade the fact that the assisted the Ultras isn't gonna help because they would need to have done something pretty major to warrant the Ultramarines stepping in, and it would probably be in the established fluff if they had. It's alright, a bit short and some of the things need cleaned up.

Ferrata Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 First of all, that little bit of blue is gonna be difficult to paint :cuss They are a chapter of the 13th founding and as such no Gene Seed Sample is available for analysis. 13th Founding chapters are still required to tithe their gene-seed back to Mars for purity checks. The Imperium wouldn't know they are of the 13th Founding but they would know of the chapter. Is this an easy way to fill in two blanks about the chapter or are you going to expand upon this later on? If it is the first, 15th and Ultramarines would be much better as Dark/Unknown falls under the Rifle idea - if you mention it, you need to develop it ;) Like GRN said, the link with the Ultramarines is probably a little too strong at the moment. Plus, if they have been declared Renegade, the Ultramarines would be one of the first chapters to shoot on site.

ShadowReaver Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 They are a chapter of the 13th founding and as such no Gene Seed Sample is available for analysis. Well here Foundings it says that they don't have the gene seed from chapters on record.. I'm pretty sure Kraken and Behemoth were to separate hive fleets Yeah I know they are, that was a typo. I had it Behemoth and changed it to Kraken. Why? Are they an Ultramarine progenitor? They are because I say they are.... no but seriously I'm coming up with a short story that will hopefully explain that. If I can't explain it I will change it lol Why are they renegade? Also I think that if they are renegade the fact that the assisted the Ultras isn't gonna help because they would need to have done something pretty major to warrant the Ultramarines stepping in, and it would probably be in the established fluff if they had. Well it's not going to ever be in the established fluff because they are a chapter I made up...but I liked to think that it gives my fluff some more depth. I will tinker with it some more. It's alright, a bit short and some of the things need cleaned up. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment to help me clean it up :teehee: First of all, that little bit of blue is gonna be difficult to paint B) Not so hard really. I mean I'm not the greatest painter but I get by haha. I have altered it a bit now the helmet is half ultra blue and half white. It looks ok :pinch: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222959-the-shadow-reavers/#findComment-2666017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generating Random Name... Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well here Foundings it says that they don't have the gene seed from chapters on record.. KK, cheers for the info. Why? Are they an Ultramarine progenitor? They are because I say they are.... no but seriously I'm coming up with a short story that will hopefully explain that. If I can't explain it I will change it lol Fair enough, as long as you say why :D But it doesn't necessarily need to be a "Speacial bond" they could just revere the Ultramarines and will be likely to come to their aid (If they need it). Short story sounds interesting aswell. Why are they renegade? Also I think that if they are renegade the fact that the assisted the Ultras isn't gonna help because they would need to have done something pretty major to warrant the Ultramarines stepping in, and it would probably be in the established fluff if they had. Well it's not going to ever be in the established fluff because they are a chapter I made up...but I liked to think that it gives my fluff some more depth. I will tinker with it some more. I was more meaning you don't want to make it too MISS "We once saved the whole of the Ultramarines' 5 company with 10 scouts, no bullets and one combat knife" :) I'm sure you'll do it fine though.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The chapter has not been officially recognised in almost two centuries but it is reported that during some of the campaigns against hive Kraken behemoth that two companies of Shadow Reavers helped secure vital objectives. And were not shot why? The Shadow Reavers seem to have a special bond with the battle brothers of the Ultramarines chapter and have been known to appear in the most dire of circumstances to aid them. This unity is shown on the Reaver's armour itself. Each battle brother boasts homage to the Ultramarines by painting half of their helmet in the ultramarines own battle colour. And were not shot why? +++ VOX RECORD ENDS +++ Inquisitor's note: Although the chapter has been declared renegade it should be taken into consideration that they have assisted the ultramarines secure objectives numerous times and should not be engaged without official authorisation And were not shot why? Alright, I think I've made my point. A renegade, non-Imperial controlled chapter is an incredibly dangerous thing to the Imperium. Like the Soul Drinkers(who don't exist :D ), the Imperium will spend as many resources available as they can to kill them. From what you have, why not stick with making them loyalists?
