Darkchild130 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Apologies for turning your thread into my own personal Flesh Tearer love-fest, but I'd like to point out that they don't embody the vampire aesthetic at all. They removed blood transfusions from their rituals, so therefore do not sleep in the coffin things that made them as BA do. They have no ritualised blood drinking either. All this has a direct effect on the chapter as a whole, being the reason that so many more of them fall to the black rage. Instead they have a "feast" at the end of a successful campaign, in which all of the prisoners collected throughout said campaign mysteriously disappear. For some reason, the angrier nature of the Flesh Tearers has manifested their blood urges as cannibalism. the link between vampirism and stability makes sense when you look at the Blood drinkers, who have notably increased their blood drinking practices and in turn have more control over the red thirst and black rage. So to summarise, FTs=not vampires. but I am horribly biased, and the Angels Sanguine would give you much more leeway in regards to fluff as they are more "normal" BA successors.

SamaNagol Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 It's called Cretacia and it has Dinosaurs on it. Because GW don't like to make their audience think too hard when it coes to references. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 If only GW would let us use the dinos as monstrous creatures.... I would play FT for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod451 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Sounds like there should be a thunder dino-calvalery out there somewhere! DarkChild - I meant more then, kill people and eat them sorta of aesthetic i think..not the coffin thing and stuff. Your fine on the thread thing.. Bias is what i wanted to see what people though and what fluff they could contribute.. ..and i'm getting a good bit of FT fluff actaully.. ..the angels seem to be lacking however heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But background aside there is also the question of paint schemes - which one do you like the most? As I said earlier the "halved" color scheme with black & red makes for a very striking combination and, to me at least, a much more intersting looking force. This of course is purely subjective.

It's in IA: Blood Frenzy, aka IA: Flesh Tearers. Also, it's not straight out stated the Tearers eat their enemies, but it is very, very heavily hinted (as are many things in WH40K).

Darkchild130 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It was originally in a WD that detailed the actions of various Space Marine chapters at Armageddon (which I no longer own) It's just a couple of paragraphs if I remember rightly, but it's copy pasted in numerous locations if you google "Flesh Tearers eaters of the dead".

SamaNagol Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I wrote a bunch of backgrounds for my own named characters that I've included in my Flesh Tearer army so far.

Darkchild130 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If we're playing it like that, read the story in my sig, its generally well received and shows the flesh tearers as more than just savage barbarians! Darkchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod451 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Actually i've been reading the blog, with Darkchild you've been an inspiration and one of the reason i'm not sure which army i want to do. The fact is it is tempting to do an army that not many people do..and i do see people paying flesh tearers more lately... still pondering..

AngelOfDeathXIII Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 when considering the colour scheme I like the Angels Sanguine more. As a matter of fact, when I quit my part-time job at the local library (after 3 years) I painted a Angels Sanguine Librarian for them (because the colours of our city are red and black as well) and while not my best work I really enjoyed painting him..
