Big Mek LugNutz Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hey Everyone, I started a Storm Lords SM Army (White Scars 2nd Founding Chapter) and have been looking everywhere for fluff, but all I found was various Warhammer threads from Storm Lord collectors looking for some background fluff. What I'm proposing is a complete update/detailing to the already minimal Storm Lord background. I'm looking for a couple brave souls to help me with this project. Preferably 1 Veteran fluff writer and 1 Storm Lord/White Scars Veteran. I'm a pretty decent writer, so I won't need as much help writing, as I'll need editing and opinion/brain storming help. I'm hoping to post this all over the web, Heresy, Warseer, Dakka Dakka, and then start to structure a few wiki/lexicanum articles. thanks, -LugNutz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251471-storm-lord-fluff-proposition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaster Anaziel Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Your enthusiasm for the Storm Lords is great! And I wish you the best of luck for your project. :P However, Lexicanum itself is meant for canon material specifically.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 This could be interesting. What does your plan look like? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251471-storm-lord-fluff-proposition/#findComment-3048648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mek LugNutz Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 @Anaziel: What do you mean by 'canon material'? No fan made stuff? Thats kind of a pity, considering theres no fluff for such an important Chapter. Is there any way I could have this published? @Ignis Domus: I'm not sure what you mean by plan? Like structure? I was going to right background for: Homeoworld/System: Brotherhoods ('White Scar' Chapters) Chapter Master: Chapter Organization: Force Strength: etc. Is that what you mean?

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 As in what's your course of action and path to getting this completed? Things like go inside to out or outside to in, or how you plan to do this. Either way, I'm up for this. Can't say I know a load about Storm Lords, but fluff is me.

Big Mek LugNutz Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 @Ignis Domus: If I understand you correctly, I think I'm doing outside to inside. At first I'll talk about where their homeworld is located in the Warhammer 40k Galaxy, including nearest Hive Worlds, or other Imperial landmarks in or near their system. Then move more into Chapter layout, organization and maybe in the end, famous conquests and battles (such as a little more detail as to their role during the battle of Armageddon). The most important ideas I'm trying to convey through these background pieces is really the 'flavour & feel' of a Storm Lords army. The average 40k player who does his (extra :P ) homework generally assumes that the Storm Lords are a lot like their 1st Founding counter part, so I really wanted to set them a part from other GW dwarf Chapters. Regarding my plan for completion: I don't really know how this project will turn out time wise, but I'm aiming for a couple paragraphs a day, if school is going well. I'm really enthused about the project, so I don't think progress will ever slow down. If you have much experience I could really use an editor... -LugNutz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251471-storm-lord-fluff-proposition/#findComment-3048664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Canon material is anything published by Black Library, Forgeworld and Games Workshop. No fan-made material in any way, shape or form. The only way to have the material published would be to write for any one of these three entities.

Big Mek LugNutz Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 @Kol_Saresk: Hmm... Thats to bad. Could i submit it to GW? I was going to keep everything strictly to fit in the timeline and the galaxy. (like...

Olis Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 You could submit it if you like but I would think unless you are directly employed by GW they wouldn't accept it as canon. :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251471-storm-lord-fluff-proposition/#findComment-3048695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 You might want to have a look over at the Liber Astartes sub-forum, where writers create DIY Chapters and (I think) this is also the place for DIY fluffing out of official GW Chapters. Although the Librarium here on the B+C is down atm, there is a section of it devoted to people's Chapter fluff if you were looking for somewhere to show off your finished work? I'm certainly interested to see where this goes, one of my own DIY's is a White Scars successsor via the Storm Lords!

Brother Tyler Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 As an effort for fan-based development, this is being moved to the Liber Astartes forum.

Wings of Fury Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 didn't games workshop do a chapter approved program where you could send in pics and your fluff and they would vet it and if it was good enough they would canonise your chapter Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251471-storm-lord-fluff-proposition/#findComment-3048838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mek LugNutz Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 @Brother Tyler: Ok thanks. I was kinda wondering where this goes. @Wings of Fury: Well it is a real chapter (and a darn important one, too) but GW doesn't have any fluff whatsoever @Lysimachus: Yeah, I'll check that out. I'm hoping if my Storm Lords fluff gets renown (and post it enough), it will become generally accepted by WH40k players, and at the end of the day thats was my goal all along.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I think the Chapter Approved thing died off, but it's always worth a shot submitting something to them. It doesn't cost you anything, after all. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251471-storm-lord-fluff-proposition/#findComment-3049126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Sons_of_dorn The sons of dorn are the fan made canonised chapter.
