WeaponAdept Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Help! I can't figure out if my DIY guys are Imperial Fists or Raven Guard Sucessors. Or Even Crimson Fists or Raptors? A very small chapter of just over 200 fighting strength. Very Elitist due to majority of remaining Marines are Veterans, so a haughty attitude. A strong mix of either Very shooty or Very fighty. (think only Sternguard and Vanguard) Few tactical squads who's main duty is to chaperone the valuable scouts (also few in number). So my guys are stalwart defenders and insane assaultiers (made up word) with little middle ground. In my mind this makes them either ImpFists or RG. Two names hang in the balence: Crimson Hammers (IF) Or Hammers of Deliverance (RG) Here's a pic of one: Can't decide! Help? Please ask questions about the Chapter also.

Sons of the Forge Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 They look like Crimson Hammer type marines to me. An it fits your theme. After shooting the enemy you assualt to clean up.

Brother Tyler Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Based on your description they could just as easily be descendants of Jaghatai Khan (or any other loyalist Primarch, for that reason, depending upon how the Chapter developed over time). This is leading towards DIY development, though, so I'm moving it over to Liber Astartes.

CantonWC Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 back after an absence. A very small chapter of just over 200 fighting strength Um, so why are there so little? Some fight went bad and they all got killed? Personally I think that when you are down to 100-200 battle brothers, you are on the way to going extinct. So my guys are stalwart defenders and insane assaultiers (made up word) with little middle ground. In my mind this makes them either ImpFists or RG. To answer the question, just because they are "stalwart defenders" does not automatically make them Imperial Fists, or whatever trait you care to think of, in my view. A parent Chapter can pass on some of its attitudes and traits to a Successor Chapter, but not everything. That is, unless you want a clone of the parent Chapter. I believe the Chapter's own experiences over its long history will determine its character more than who they descended from. The nature versus nurture thing, in other words.

WeaponAdept Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Only 200 fighting strength because their home world and recruiting world were seized for 500 years as penance for screwing up, they got packed into their fleet and told to cuss off to the other side of the Galaxy. I have a detailed background but not name and origin. I like the idea of them being stalwart defenders, tho not to be a clone chapter. It was a bungled defense that got their worlds taken off them so it's a plot device also. The more it goes on the more I lean away from RG. Is Crimson Hammers or Hammers of Terra a better name?

Ace Debonair Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Is Crimson Hammers or Hammers of Terra a better name? Both good, but I'd incline towards Crimson Hammers since your marines are that nice shade of red.
