Loken86 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Evening all, I've decided to get back into the hobby and have an idea for a new chapter and would like to get your opinions on it. The theme is based on the UK Parachute Regiment(Paras) and US Parachute regiment(Airbourne) from WW2 to present day. I was thinking of using the vanilla marine codex and making heavy use of the Stormraven to deploy troops and hit the heavy targets while using Storm Talons or landspeeders as support gunships. How do people rate the Stormraven? I'm not sure on colour scheme or fluff or even a name to use as this project is still in its early planning stages. A HQ i was thinking of using was Kantor making my sternguard count as troops and their access to ammo types adds to that special forces feel. So what do you think? Thanks for looking Loken86 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275668-a-new-chapter-idea/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 To be honest, that more sounds like air cavalry than parachute regt... Paras would probably fit better with codex ba, with deep strike jump troops, heavy support from ravens and a few drop pod units where you want to field devastators or dreads.

Firepower Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 For hammering out fluff, history, theme etc details, feel free to swing by the Liber and start spitballing :) In terms of the army element, it sounds more like Blood Angels to me, if you're looking for airborn force with precision troop drops. But I'm a painter, not a gamer, so I could be totally wrong :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275668-a-new-chapter-idea/#findComment-3374417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loken86 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Thank you both for your input I'll have to get hold of the BA dex and have a read Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275668-a-new-chapter-idea/#findComment-3374434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviar Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Sounds like Elysian drop troops. But if your heart is set on marines, I too think BA would be the Codex for you.

rickybob Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If you're after paras (ie. one-way aerial entry), fielding any units you wanted, with the caveat that all can deep strike, would work. Drop pods loaded with whatever fits inside, Terminators and Land Speeders fit into this category. You could claim unmounted Scouts as having arrived hours/days/weeks before, and of course aircraft of any type should be fine. Jump pack troops are obviously in. Dreadnoughts than can be dropped in by air should be fine as well (mine has a Drop Pod :D), as well as the aforementioned vehicles, but all other armour would be a no-no.

Leonaides Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Unless you go ba- deep striking landraiders anyone? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275668-a-new-chapter-idea/#findComment-3374900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astral Pathfinder Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If you get in tuch with the Raptors (i.e. Imperial Armour 10) it might feets you as well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275668-a-new-chapter-idea/#findComment-3379570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
