Dosjetka Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hello folks, Yes, I know I should be working on my Swords of Vengeance, but this idea is just too good to let slip :D So, the basic outline is this: Chapter situated somewhere on the fringes of the galaxy, doesn't really matter where for now. Sworn to protect the *unnamed* sector and have a home planet there. In that system, there is a planet called Canaan, a civilised world of some importance. The ruling elite of Canaan have long standing traditions with the Astartes Chapter, such as having an Astartes escort when exploring unknown regions of space around the system, sharing (to some extent) ceremonies on important religious days of the Imperium, etc... This all comes at a cost though, such as always being ready to assist the Astartes in any way possible and letting them recruit from the Canaanian population. Quite obviously, the venerate the Emperor as a god (obvious if you read the bullet point above). Guilliman's gene-seed I was thinking that the Canaanians would resemble somewhat the ancient Phoenicians (trade, etc..) and for the Chapter to have an Arab feel to it, without pushing it too far and having a Saracen Chapter :yes: Of course, this will take quite a bit of research on my part, but this is a long term project, so that shouldn't be a problem. So, all in all, I was wondering if it sounded like a viable and believable (in the 40k sense) idea?

Ace Debonair Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hello folks, Yes, I know I should be working on my Swords of Vengeance, but this idea is just too good to let slip I have to get Heru Talon to make me a Spine-flail for cracking over people's heads for situations like this, so I can shout "Back to work, you!"to the accompaniment of a spinal cracking noise. -_- [*]Quite obviously, the venerate the Emperor as a god (obvious if you read the bullet point above). More Emperor-Worshippers, Ludo? :) If you're planning on making these guys worship the Big E, why not have the SoV not worship him to make both chapters a little more different? ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238519-another-chapter-idea/#findComment-2877059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightrawenII Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 So, all in all, I was wondering if it sounded like a viable and believable (in the 40k sense) idea? Well, since you are talking more about Homeworld than the Chapter itself, it's hard to tell, ya'now. :P Add more info about Chapter. :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238519-another-chapter-idea/#findComment-2877083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 More Emperor-Worshippers, Ludo? :cuss I had a little Oliver Twist moment there -_- If you're planning on making these guys worship the Big E, why not have the SoV not worship him to make both chapters a little more different? :) Yeah, that's my plan now. Cheers :huh: Well, since you are talking more about Homeworld than the Chapter itself, it's hard to tell, ya'now. -_- Add more info about Chapter. :P I was thinking about the relationship between the ruling elite/merchants of Canaan and the Chapter being viable :P But yes, I'll add more to this in all due haste!
