Arianod Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hello, everyone! With this post I'm starting a series of entries in the Liber Astartes dedicated to my own Space Marine Chapters. These are ideas for Chapters that I'm not going to develop for various reasons (mostly for lack of time and money), so I'm kind of offering them up for whoever fancies them. So if you like any of these Chapters, feel totally free to adopt it as your own! Just remember to send me pictures of the painted miniatures for my collection! THE BLITZMARINES http://fotos.subefotos.com/48062d65c7282328242294f7b972310fo.pnghttp://fotos.subefotos.com/ebb08f27a70d749d0aeefec409ae7852o.png Battle Brother and Sergeant from the 2nd Company, 2nd Squad. CHAPTERS COLOURS AND INSIGNIA The Blitzmarines wear blue-grey armour with a light grey aquila. The Chapter icon is a white lighting bolt with blue trim. Squad markings are worn on the right shoulder pad, in Codex Company colours. Squad number is displayed on the squad marking. Sergeants wear a white stripe on their helmets, or completely white helmets. BATTLE CRY Ride the lightning! ORIGINS AND HISTORY The Blitzmarines are a young Chapter, created from White Scars geneseed. They distinguished themselves in their first combat assignement during the Xistmos campaign: a task force of two battle companies singlehandedly routed the Tau forces in the Northwestern continent of Tantris, forcing the Xenos to retreat from the planet. After that, the whole Chapter was dispatched to the Armageddon sector, where they have been fighting against the Orks of Waagh! Ghazhgkull in the Ash Wastes. COMBAT DOCTRINE The Blitzmarines specialize in lightning warfare and place great emphasis on mobility and surprise. They favor drop pod assaults, bikes and jump infantry, and most of the First Company is made up of Vanguard Veterans. They are also said to be especially fond of plasma weapons.

Watcher in the Dark Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I like the idea of the chapter but I don't know that "Blitzmarines" works out too well. I played a card game called "Doomtrooper" way back in the day, which was based on the Mutant Chronicles series and there was a unit called the "Bauhaus Blitzers". Perhaps utilizing that naming convention, with the word "blitz" or "blitzers" as the second part in a chapter name, would work better?
