G3rman Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Have any of you seen or contemplated making marines with color schemes and/or fluff based around a country in real life? I've thought about it, but couldn't find the inspiration to go from idea to reality. Just curious if anyone here has taken that step.

TrashMan Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Never saw the stars of Dorn? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SwNrSoRHg5w/ThI4oPi40KI/AAAAAAAAKJg/MGX0WXqDC7s/s1600/DP-274-USA.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240624-nations-of-the-world-marines/#findComment-2905408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3rman Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Very nice for both of you. But since I am American, I was hoping to see more foreign countries than my own. Nicely done though.

NightrawenII Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Have any of you seen or contemplated making marines with color schemes and/or fluff based around a country in real life? I've thought about it, but couldn't find the inspiration to go from idea to reality. Just curious if anyone here has taken that step. In all seriousness? Hundreds. I have seen Chapters based around Saxons, Celts, Romans, Greeks, Mongols, Dwarfs :) , Polynesians, Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Scots, Aztecs, Zulu (IIRC, but this could be figment of my wild fantasy. :P ), Native Americans, Indians, Turks and my own Chapter is strange mishmash of Scyths/Parthians/Mongols/Turks and some other cultures, which aren't exactly politically correct right now. (No, I'm not talking about Nazis. <_< ) Cheers, NightrawenII.

(No, I'm not talking about Nazis. :lol: ) That'd be my Stonebound, I take it. Good old Tolkien/Discworld dwarvish marines. :( My Red Lords are based on Cromwell-era England, loosely.
