Tj9614 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hey again guys :-) So I'm trying to knuckle down and actually write up a story for my blood canaries. I'm thinking of them as necron hunters purely because of canaries in the mines. The blood canaries are the first to go in to necron tomb worlds to destroy them. What I need to know is when the necrons were first discovered?? And which founding came first after the necrons were discovered as the emperor created the blood canaries purely to take down necrons so there's no sense them being founded before the discovery of necrons Thanks for any help you can give Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253506-my-successor-chaptor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorridgeMeister Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Welcome to the Liber! :) ack in the days of the 3rd/4th Edition book, the Necrons were only appearing around in the last few centuries of M41. However, with the release of the next book, the Necrons were objects of a severe retcon, meaning amongst other things that some of them had appeared before, in the Age of Apostasy and the Great Crusade, but they were in a strict minority. If you want my opinion, I would have my Retcron-hunting Chapter founded recently because those early Necron encounters were probably thought to be only with a minor Xenos species, not something you would want to bother founding a Chapter for. Therefore, I would lean towards the very latest founding - the 26th. I am sorry to say that I actually laughed when I saw the name of your Chapter. If you want a subterranean-fighting Chapter, may I recommend a different name? It does sound a bit silly - "I am Chapter Master Henchius McManly of the Blood Canaries! For the Emperor! May we not be shut in our tiny golden cages!". On the other hand, I like the concept of a Digging Chapter - maybe use the ANZAC Diggers of World War One and such, as inspiration? Have a gander at them on Wikipedia and make sure to use the 40k online resources in my signature beneath my post.

Tj9614 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 First I forgot to mention they're a BA successor I'm thinking that the teleport assault termis to the planet surface as a kind of announcement then when the necrons rise stormravens swoop down and assault troops deep strike in as shock and awe. Second I admit "blood canaries" isn't a tough name like most chapters but it kind of stuck and I wanted to try to be different then the usual blood angels names. I do have the idea of an army called the black death their colours pure black with red eyes and shoulder pad trim but nothing else but that would require I full repaint of my current red with yellow trim Third I've come up with the chapter master named "Commander Sigismondo Cellini" (usually Commander Cellini due to the unusual first name) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253506-my-successor-chaptor/#findComment-3076102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
