Ecritter Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I actually like it as more silver with the bone. We might as well have the 3 schemes and have a vote then. Here's the blue. EDIT: Just so you know why I was thinking blue ... water, swans swim. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c162/ecritter/Space%20Marines/blackswan2.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228575-campaign-liber-astartes/page/26/#findComment-2773114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavulg Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The blue and the bone both do look better to my eyes. I'd lean toward the blue, myself.

Crusader of Dorn Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The bone scheme inspired me to revise my chapter scheme again, the blue version of the swans looks best.

exetus Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I agree with the blue... Not a ton of chapter with colors like that and all too many with bone/black, white/black, red/black.

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Well, I've read through the whole thing now. - took quite some time! This looks to be a promising project, so the best of luck with it! :D I think a few relic being preserved for 5000 years is an awful long time. - Guess they must have used stasis field technology and an extremely dedicated cult to look after it all: heck I bet entire civilizations may have risen and fallen around the relics, with their cult at its basis. Here is an idea: Petrok's original Campaign secretly sacrificed the blood/skulls/souls of everyone that died in the Campaign to the Chaos Gods as a start of a ritual to infuse Petrok with the power needed to complete an even greater Chaos ritual. To complete this grand ritual his Chaos energy infused body must remain in the Real for 5000 years. Each relic bleeds Chaos energy into the point of Real space that it has been stored at, making an imprint of the coordinates drawing out a Chaos Star across the Galaxy. The resting places of the relics all mark out the different coordinates of the star so that if you drag a line on a map, between all the points, the star is drawn. - The middle of the star being where the final ritual is to be performed. Rituals are carried out at all points of the star, over time bringing 73 star systems into full out, system wide war (With the Marines knowing of and participating in only a few of these wars). Once each star system has seen the wars there reach a death toll of 1 billion, the center point's ritual is activated bringing warp gates into being inside each star system's sun, effectively making them instant black holes. The lives of billions upon billions perish and their souls are sucked into the warp as a sacrifice to the Chaos Gods. Once complete this enormous sacrifice brings about lines of Warp Storms following the lines between the star system coordinates, effectively drawing out a Chaos star across the Galaxy and releasing enough Chaos energy to extinguish the Astronomicon while creating a new Eye of Terror at the center point of the star and opening innumerable cracks between the Immaterium and Real space, letting billions upon billions of Demons flood the Galaxy. Thus comes the downfall of the Imperium, the destruction of Real Space, and the coming of a new demigod of Chaos: Petrok the Destroyer. Naturally the Marines and their Campaigning will be a constant thorn in the side of Chaos and eventually they will need to halt the ritual. In the end it is not certain the Imperium saw the grans scheme of things at all, or if they did, then such an enormous ritual would be hushed down. History rewritten, entire worlds silenced and Marines made to go through mind erasing procedures. - In the books, the Campaign would be left as a large war, but not as a potential Galaxy shattering event. - Probably only the Emperor, the deepest, most secure catacomb libraries of Ordo Malleus and the Black Library would know the truth of the matter. Epic enough for you? Oh, and here is my take on the Black Swans: http://www.codexguardianangels.com/temp_material/Black-Swan.jpg Again: Best of luck! :devil: CMG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228575-campaign-liber-astartes/page/26/#findComment-2774082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Sounds interesting, and a good take on the events. Epic is good of course, but i think the whole save galaxy idea is abit much. Tonned down a wee bit, i think it works. Elements being incorporated is very do-able Nice pic of the swans, i expect you''ll be inundated with requests for more. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228575-campaign-liber-astartes/page/26/#findComment-2774105 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavulg Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I prefer Heru Talon's arrangement of blue, honestly. Reminds me of the Mentors. Also makes it look less like, well, black pants. :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228575-campaign-liber-astartes/page/26/#findComment-2774638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
