Dark Apostle Thirst Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Has anyone considered the idea of writing a 'mini-IA' about companies and warbands within established Chapters and Warbands/Legions? Like, say a particular Black Templar Marshal's Crusade, or a faction within the Black Legion, or a Host of the Word Bearers?

Marshal Rohr Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I tried it. They get even less responses than IA's. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225465-company-and-splinter-indices/#findComment-2698430 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysimachus Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The trick with any IA is to write something that is unique and interesting without going too far outside the 'norm'. Of course, that's even harder when doing a splinter group of a known Chapter/Legion, as there is obviously even more specific material to include. In most cases, you end up with something that people will think 'I've already read IA:BT, why am I reading this?'. Edit: Not impossible though, so if you think you've got an idea that fits, go for it!

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Marshal - that's what I'm afraid of :( Lysimachus - As you say, so I'm assuming this would be a lot easier to do with Chaos than loyalists - simply because Chaotic forces, being Chaotic, have far more diversity in their subsections than Loyalists do. Being Codex-adherent cuts down on this even more, which is why the only Loyalist force I suggested was Black Templars, although Space Wolves would probably be more appropiate. See, I think this would be a good idea for those of us who like established chapters/warbands, and still want to create a document of the uniqueness of their slice of that chapter/warband pie. There is thread in the Chaos Ascendant* which has a fair few user specific Hosts, which could easily be expanded into a mini IT. Or IH. *Link to the thread here (warning, it's quite long) - http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=191257 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/225465-company-and-splinter-indices/#findComment-2699409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
