Xarga Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Creating My Own Blood Angels Successor Chapter Hey guys, I used to collect 40k when i was younger (around 4-5 years ago) and alot has changed since. I've decided recently to get back into it and found myself drawn to the Blood Angels Codex, alos I decided I wish to create my own successor chapter to them to further individualise them. I want to keep the feel of Blood Angels intact however so i don't want a drastically different looking army, so there still needs to be some red in there. I was messing around with the space marine painter and this is what i came up with: I like the look of having a lighter coloured helmet compared to the armour alot but i'm not sure if i want the helmet/shoulders to be left Bleached Bone as they are or to be a white colour. Also it raises another issue of how should i distiguish my Sergants, Vetarens, Assault and Devestator Marines, as most chpaters tend to have differnt helmet colours for those marine types. Lastly i've been trying to think of a name for them and a chapter symbol to go with it. I have come up with two already but i'm still unsure, they are: Angels of Vengenance - There symbol being a scythe at a 30-45 degree angel with a blood drop at the end. Blood Hawks - Using a somewhat simmilar chapter sybol to the Blood Ravens. Any ides on how to improve my chapter would be great and appreciated! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venerable Jazzman Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I prefer the bone to white for the pads, but it's up to you, they're your Marines. As for the Angels of Vengeance, I think the Dark Angels got there first on that name. Like the scythes concept though - what about Blood Reapers, or Harvesters of Blood, or just plain old Blood Scythes? Oh, and welcome to the Bolter and Chainsword! You picked the best forum to start out in too. :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, i though the name sounded a little too familiar. Oh well nevermind. As for the name "Harvesters of Blood", i like that... I like it alot :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring-around-the-roses Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Maybe you could go the other way when it comes to rank, and the higher the rank, the more black your have on your armour. So the Chapter Master would look like one of the Blood Angels Death Company, and properly fit into the 'Grim Reapers Scythe' look. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustonT Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Call them the "Banana Republic" and paint them with a denim blue top and kahki bottoms. brown loafers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scouts start out all dark red, and as each marine earns various honors, he is painted with bone and black. Maybe a bone helmet indicates 1st company, black and bone for Chapter Masters, Sanguinary guard, etc. Death Company could be all bone perhaps...
