angryswarmofbees Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I posted in Amicus Aedes a while ago about chapters and schisms. I had an idea that my chapter would be a splinter faction after internal religious differences in a chapter. People thought it was a pretty cool idea but then somebody mentioned something about a chapter in the badab war II and that this had already happened! I don't have the book (and can't afford it, £50!) but could someone tell me if this idea is original or if it is mentioned specifically as being unique? Because if it's described as the only occurrence of such a thing I'll have to start again....

Arkangilos Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I would not worry about it. I doubt (though I am not sure) that it would be the only time in 10,000 years that it would happen. Don't sweat it, it if you want to do it, and it sounds good, do it. If it is "unique" you can use the "Well, no one but those of the chapter knew it happened, so it would not be in history books to all but them."

Olis Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I agree with Telanicus here but in the interests of information I believe the schism-thing has been done by the Sons of Medusa vis-a-vis the Iron Hands. Anyway, this is (as far as I know) the only example of this kind of chapter genesis so my advice is to use it as a precedent, an example. Sure someone may have beaten you to the punch but don't let that deter you. To be unique is one thing, to be interesting is another entirely. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225213-astral-guardians-fluff-question/#findComment-2697999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
