Zethma Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This is just the beginning of a long chapter post. I am going to fill in as much as I can now and more later. This will be the outline till I can figure out the format I want to put it in. Moto: The greatest joke is life, so I will laugh till I die. Symbol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/baribandgeek/DeathJackSymbol.jpg Origins: When was your Chapter formed? 24th Founding, 500M39 Why were they created? This chapter was split from the ultramarines, a small regiment. They came to the planet to take over and defend this planet. The planet is full of metals, gases, and chemicals needed in constructions of war machines, vehicles, armor, weapons, and fuel. Due to all the resources, it was determined that it needed a full time chapter centralized here. Homeworld: Name: Venomous Prime Atmosphere: Toxic and Poisonous Gravity: Earth Normal Environments: Corosive lakes, High heavy metal mountains, silicon based plants Combat Doctrine How does your Chapter fight? Why do they fight this way? Are there any examples of your Chapter's battle-history? Organization How is your Chapter organized? The Chapter is broken up into specializations. Since each old one has their favorite weapon or weapons, they are allowed to join that particular unit. Jack n Box Tin Soldiers Jugglers Flame Eaters Mummers Beliefs What comprises your Chapter's belief system? Why does your Chapter hold these beliefs? How have these beliefs affected your Chapter? Geneseed Which Primarch does your Chapter descend from? Roboute Guilliman Which Chapter was your Chapter created from? Ultramarines Why have you chosen that gene-seed? Battle Cry This battle cry is said by every member right before the battle. "I laugh in the face of my enemies, I laugh at the wounds gained, I laugh in the face of death for I am a Death Jack and I shall live till the joke ends."

Ace Debonair Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This is just the beginning of a long chapter post. I am going to fill in as much as I can now and more later. This will be the outline till I can figure out the format I want to put it in. Now I know the origins are a little strange and if you think it would not work, let me know. The idea I had is that the chapter is made of men that have fought off death many times, only then to be put into a Dreadnought. They fought many more battles in those armors but long to be a normal size again. So a chapter was formed to help these heroes keep fighting in the form they love. I don't think that would work primarily because I don't see heroes of Chapters all over the Imperium wanting to leave their Chapter and their battle brothers behind. Heck, I can see some chapters actively fighting against being drafted in! Another obstacle is that the Imperium, to the best of my (admittedly limited) knowledge doesn't actually have the technology to keep people alive in their power armour instead of the dreadnoughts. ^_^ Since you're new (welcome to the Liber, by the way!), my first bit of advice would be to read the DIY Guide, which you can find by searching the stickied thread atop the forum. ;) It's chock full of useful advice and ideas, and well worth the read. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256379-updated-death-jacks-v02/#findComment-3120039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I like the fact you put alot of thought into the armor heraldry, and chapter symbol. But like ACE said you can't have one good thing like a "Death Watch" style army as there is already one in existance, and that IS the GW certified Death Watch Ordos Xenos chapter. This Chapter of yours the Death Jacks would be a perfectly themed name to run a dreadnought rich list using C:BA. With an HQ and lots of dreadnoughts. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256379-updated-death-jacks-v02/#findComment-3120131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zethma Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 So both of you would suggest looking at changing the origins to be more in line with known technology? I think I can do that. The reason I don't want to run a dreadnought heavy list is because I don't have a lot of them, only 2. I have thought about running the dreadnoughts as company leaders, as they are the vets. Once I can find out more about the prima archs, I will revise the origins.

Bloodstone Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Origins:When was your Chapter formed? 24th Founding, 500M39 Why were they created? This chapter was split from the ultramarines, a small regiment. They came to the planet to take over and defend this planet. The planet is full of metals, gases, and chemicals needed in constructions of war machines, vehicles, armor, weapons, and fuel. Due to all the resources, it was determined that it needed a full time chapter centralized here. Homeworld: Name: Venomous Prime Atmosphere: Toxic and Poisonous Gravity: Earth Normal Environments: Corosive lakes, High heavy metal mountains, silicon based plants These two. Split from Ultramarines is not a valid origin. Ultramarines will always be Ultramarines even if they were lost in the warp and came back again. One of the exceptions would be if u explained it as a training cadre of Ultramarines helping to raise a new chapter and staying on as their first batch of officers. For a Toxic and Corrosive atmosphere, what kind of value would it be to the Chapter? Logically no human can survive on the planet much less any to recruit from or work the planet's resources. You might want to re think it, or expand on how recruits are drawn and resources are gathered if you intend to keep the planet.
