ScionOfGrief Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Instead of painting it, you might consider shrinking the symbol and printing it off on waterslide paper?

Ecritter Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Looks good, but what will it mean to your chapter and what will your chapter be called?

ScionOfGrief Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 ^That's always important. It's awesome just to have a good-looking army, but it's even better when that army has a backstory. Not sure what a triforce would represent... Maybe their first Chapter Master was originally the Captain of the 3rd Company in his previous Chapter? Or maybe they were the third Chapter founded using the geneseed of their Primogenitor Chapter? Or something completely different?

aznviking Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 The symbol is an old norse symbol for Odin (viking god), and has said to represent Odin's power to bind and unbind the mind. The fact that it is a knot could be interpreted for the chapter as "together we form a powerful bond" The Captain seconded to lead this chapter could have studied some of terra's older myths which lead to the discovery of this symbol. (we were thinking of going with an IF successor chapter as the founding chapter. Someone without too much info, like the white Templar.)Keeping with the danish flag inspired scheme we want to try and stay with viking and Scandinavian roots. The system they recruit from is called Scania (old name for Scandinavia) and seeing as the chapter recruits from Scania's worlds the easy name would be to go with something along the lines of "Sons/Warriors/Lords of Scania". The fact that they recruit from different worlds could also make sense it that Knot/bond together idea.     As for Reason for the chapters creation. We were thinking that over a course of many years the Adeptus Administratum has notice a slow increase in xeno activity around some sectors in the Segmentum Tempestus. Caculating that these incidents would only rise with time and seeing as there were no spacemarine chapters close to these few sectors its decided a new chapter should inhabit that area. The chapter was created during the "undecided"-founding and placed at the center of these sectors with the goal that once they are at full force they should be capable enough to handle the growing xenos threat. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278871-diy-chapter-possible-schemes/page/2/#findComment-3434790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoss Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Not sure how everyone else will take that, but I think it seems pretty solid. Looks like you've chosen a theme that you can use and not need to be too heavy handed to get your point across.

Lord Marshal Ragnrok Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 first scheme, third and symbol are nice. the red yellow blue scheme is weird Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278871-diy-chapter-possible-schemes/page/2/#findComment-3434967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think the stripe won't be a problem at all if the aquilla and piping on torsos are painted a different color. Â They'll also sort of ruin the flow of it by being the same color too, I'm betting. Â That Chapter Icon on the other hand looks like it will be a real pain to paint :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278871-diy-chapter-possible-schemes/page/2/#findComment-3435032 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznviking Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 So luckily the new space marine codex came out at the same time I decided to get back into the hobby.New models to paint and box sets to try :D wohoo. Have just been to the store and bought some stuff to test out the paint scheme and see how hard that chapter symbol is to paint.  Heres how it looks so far. http://i.imgur.com/2yDi2Oz.jpg and the symbol http://i.imgur.com/BAfbh8P.jpg  bear with me. I havnt painted in 6 years and still getting a hang of it again. God i forgot how small the figures are.  Oh and have been working on fluff for the chapter so expect something to be posted in a few days. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278871-diy-chapter-possible-schemes/page/2/#findComment-3452707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoss Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 That looks really really good. I thought you'd have a hard time pulling it off on the table since it's so small, but I'm impressed, good job.

Brother Cambrius Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 That looks fantastic! As a founding member of the unofficial (and slightly colour-blind and tasteless) Liber's Heraldry Department I most definitely approve! I like the background concept a lot too! Â In terms of geneseed, perhaps an Imperial Fist descendancy may be in order, so it links up that the Captain who was seconded to found the chapter originated form the Imperial Fists and thus, from Terra, where he'd studied the older myths of Odin etc. will you plan on using some Space wolf bitz to add to the Scandinavian theme at all?

Ecritter Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Looks great, not as great as my red/white chapter, but really sweet. :p  Actually you've pulled off the stripe rather well, now only 999 more marines and you're done.

Cambrius That could be the way to go, but im thinking that would work with most imperial fist successors as well cause they may have similar records of mythology and histories of terra.About incorporating spacewolf parts: With the idea of the chapter clans each coming from a different world in the system we were thinking that one or two of the worlds would be feral ice worlds. This making the two clans from each world more viking like and close combat based. The whole idea is that the clans wouldn't go to war separately since they would for the most part they would each have their specialist area making them very limited in a bigger conflict. So when a bigger campaign would come about. A clan leader would be chosen to lead the Force and squads from different clans would be nominated to join depending on who was available and what would be needed in the upcoming conflict. Looks great, not as great as my red/white chapter, but really sweet. Actually you've pulled off the stripe rather well, now only 999 more marines and you're done. Hehe A long way to go. Maybe 10 guys done by the end of the week. And another 10 depending on how much time my brother has. And will have to check out your red/white chapter :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278871-diy-chapter-possible-schemes/page/2/#findComment-3454013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
