gameos7 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I know how well things tend to go when you mess with gene-seed, but I was just wondering about if (and how) it actually works. "Is it even possible?", that sort of stuff. Currently I'm thinking about doing a Blood Angles / Space Wolves cross-over army which would just use normal models with no made up rules or anything, but I would like to go deeper than that and actually create a proper chapter out of this (Mixing the Flaw and the Canis Helix basically. Only fluffwise though, not in game). Any advice? Or is this just a really terrible idea? And also I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person to come up with this idea, so if you have any prior experience with gene-seed tempering (or even a SW/BA cross-over) that would be much appreciated.

Lysimachus Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Your best bet is having a look at the 21st (or 'cursed') Founding, the High Lords allowed all sorts of playing about with geneseed.

I was am going to do that because that seems like my only option (maybe I could do the 13th? It's probably just best to go with the 21st).

Grotsmasha Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Either of those Foundings will work, as to the feasibility of your fluff, that comes down to just how well it is thought out and written.

Prefect Apollyon Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Your best bet is having a look at the 21st (or 'cursed') Founding, the High Lords allowed all sorts of playing about with geneseed. I was am going to do that because that seems like my only option (maybe I could do the 13th? It's probably just best to go with the 21st). 21st is definitely the best one for this idea, it's no secret they tampered with the Gene-Seed in this founding. 13th just have the records of why they were created removed and unusual training practices, no mention of altered Gene-Seed. As to how you'd justify them using the two most faulty Gene-Seeds and combining them, you best have a very good story. Believability is key here, and will be hard to achieve.

Lysimachus Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Perhaps a (rather arrogant) Magos Biologis thought he could use the best bits of both while cutting out the flaws to create a working whole?

TDF Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 That's how I'd go about trying to justify it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283820-gene-seed-tempering/#findComment-3531692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
