Simpax Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi all, Wanted to post up an idea i i have for a DIY Chapter which i will be basing on Second founding chapter of the Raven Guard. I have decided to go with the Black Guard as there is no solid background, color scheme or badge for this chapter which is perfect for me because i have a mostly blank canvas to work with. So far all i have done is painted up a Stormtalon Gunship in black with red and white (pinstripes, for lack of a better description) which i really liked, so now i am working on a marine chapter to suit the same scheme, yes i will post up pic's as my description of it is very vague. So i hit up the Space marine painter on this site and came up with the following; What i need now is your input, let me know what you think.

ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Ok. I like your color scheme, easy on the eyes. Now, since you do not really have anything for me to comment on, I want to ask what you have written down for the Black Guard.

Simpax Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 So far i have not written down much, all i have is the color scheme ;) I have been out of the wh40k scene for 5 years now, used to play ultrasmurfs but now i am back in i felt like a change. But back to what you asked, no i don't have a background or anything else written down as of yet but will have soon, i really wanted to see what other people thought of going with there colors as beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what colors i think go well together may look like a vomit omelet to 99.9% of everyone else.

ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Ok, nice plan. Since you already know who the parent chapter for the Black Guard, which happens to be Raven Guard, I would suggest looking at the Raven Guard and seeing what you like/dislike. Also, think of what type of world these Marines would live on as a home planet, or you can make them a space bound Chapter. But, as I said in my first post, the color scheme is easy on the eyes, to me at least. Also, ask yourself "Ok, I know they are Raven Guard successor's, but WHY were they founded.

Malthe Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Not saying you shouldn't do it, but you should be aware that someone did it before you :) Black Guard If nothing else, this should provide you with some inspiration.

Simpax Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks for the heads up Malthe, this will be of some help, based on the profile of the guy who put that together looks like more of a fluff article than an actual played chapter. But it is a great starting point for my project (with the original author's blessings of course) i could use this for a starting point to the chapter or even to run with the already existing work. Any more feed back from anyone wold be appreciated, i am open to any feed back both positive and negative as long is constructive.

Ecritter Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 You may be interested to hear that the Black Guard is taking part in our Liber Campaign too. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255875-black-guard/#findComment-3115362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Your Welcome Simpax. I understand the difficulty of writting as IA. I am in the process of doing it now for my DIY Chapter, Blood Guardians.
