MrGBH Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 After the death of Rogal Dorn the Imperial Fists were separated into 5 smaller Chapters. The Imperial Fists, the Crimson Fists, the Black Templars, the Excoriators and the Soul Drinkers. When the 3rd Founding came around the Black Knights were created. The 1st Captain of the Black Templars was selected to become the fledgling Chapter's Master. A Captain from each of the other Chapters was selected to be his advisors. Because of this the new Chapter became a Crusading Chapter. While they respected the Codex Astartes they were not afraid to break away from its teachings where prudent. Instead of maintaining 6 Battle Companies, 1 Veteran Company, 2 Reserve Companies and a Scout Company as the Codex describes, each Company within the Black Knights is a Battle Company, their exact compositions left up to their Captains discretion. Recruits are inducted into whichever Companies are below optimum strength, rather than simply into the tenth. Each Company is also responsible for their own vehicles. In this way each Company is different, yet ready to go to war. (Yeah, not the best fluff, but I'm tired right now. Have some pictures.) A basic marine. A typical scout. And one of the Terminators. http://bolterandchainsword.com/tsm.php?hdt=202020&hdm=202020&hdl=202020&ey=d03437&er=a6a8af&pi=a6a8af&nk=202020&cht=202020&ch=202020&abs=202020&bt=3b3876&btd=ffecc1&cod=202020&ull=202020&lk=202020&lll=202020&lft=202020&url=202020&rk=202020&lrl=202020&rft=202020&sl=202020&sli=202020&sr=202020&sri=202020&ula=202020&lel=202020&lla=202020&lh=202020&ura=202020&rel=202020&rla=202020&rh=202020&eg=ffecc1&sk=ffecc1&rta=202020<a=202020&lhd=ffecc1&rhd=ffecc1&ct=ffecc1&cts=ffecc1&camh=202020&camb=3b3876&cams=202020&caml=FFFFFF&brc=3b3876&rb=a6a8af&gr=a6a8af&bg=FFFFFF& Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279036-black-knights-3rd-founding-sons-of-dorn/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranklS04 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I like it. I am assuming you will be using the Black Templars codex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279036-black-knights-3rd-founding-sons-of-dorn/#findComment-3437151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGBH Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'll just be using the regular Marines rules, though as Imperial Fists descendants. That's why I added the little bit about a Captain from each of the other Chapters joining as his advisors. So they have a healthy respect for the Codex Astartes without being bound by its' limitations. As soon as I can find the file I'll upload some better backstory, and some photos too.
