cescobig Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hi brothers, So im creating a chapter called the Emperors Fedelis (faithful) which will be made of death company models and BA dex, and new colour scheme Fluff is that they are all marines that have not followed their chapters to damnation and that the emperor had given mercy to his loyal sons that walked away from their fallen chapters such as loken from luna wolves, garro death guard etc. Still unsure of colour scheme but i know drops will be blue instead of blood to signify water and theie cleasning etc have a lot of fluff to put together for it. The dc x on pads will be over the top of their old chapter colour sorta like the death watch So any ideas for dc colours.... was thinking silver with white gold for trims x's etc and blue droplets So just got my first box, i want this to be a small force 500-750 pts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290356-chapter-creation-emperors-fedelisfaithful/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quozzo Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Dont mix English with latin when it comes to naming your chapter, it just sounds wrong to me. I also think the idea that members of other chapters would willingly leave the only life they have known to form another is too far fetched. Any marine who leaves their chapter for better or worse ends up as a black shield in the deathwatch. Just how did all these traitors know about each other to come together and form a chapter?

Just how did all these traitors know about each other to come together and form a chapter?1 fair enough la emperado fidelis it is??? 2 same as all the deathwatch would meet i guess get sentenced after handing themselves in in and explaining what they did to prevent it etc, thus being sentenced to a legion since theirs is wiped out or traitors 3 there have been plenty of marines that have acted against their chapter, i dont think captain loken would leave the luna wolves or tarvitz of the emperors children to go get a nine too five job. They normally die bringing justice to their chapter but what if? 4 if left this site cause of condesending people like you... i hear lots of wierd fluff n design ideas n if idont like i dont comment... constructive critism is fine. I've removed a few parts. A polite message to all Frater. Politeness costs nothing. Sometimes you might not like another's idea, other times you might not like a Frater's response. There is no need for insults or behaviour that runs against the boards rules. If there are any issues, they should be raised with a Moderator in PM or use the "Report" button. I'll add a reply addressing your IA in my next post.

Aqui Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Okay, now that that has been dealt with, let's see what's what. Whilst there are issues with how Quozzo posted, he does raise a few valid points. Ultimately, the decision on what you do with this idea is yours. No one can stop you from taking this idea and running with it. However, I might have an idea that could make your idea easier to work with. Just to clarify your first post - you mention that various Marines abandon the Chapters, because they turned traitor and used Loken etc as an example. Did you mean that your IA revolves around a similar thing that happened in 40k, or that your are doing a 30k army but using 40k rules. I just want to make sure I'm not getting the wrong idea. If it's the scenario where 40k Chapters go sour and Marines leave to form another "Chapter", well if/when this happens, the Marine in question usually either fights his former Brothers, or tries to escape and find the nearest loyal planet to contact the Deathwatch (my own thoughts and I don't know of anything in canon that can support OR deny this). However.... You mention that you want to use the BA Codex. I'm far from an expert on the Sons of Sanguinius, but I would have thought that the Blood Angels and their successors must have fought together many times over the years. What if, during one of these campaigns (either a GW canon one, or one you make one up yourself), Marines from various Chapters that share the BA geneline get cut off from their Chapters? Perhaps they are assumed dead or lost and thus once the battle is over, they are forgotten. The survivors band together in an effort to continue the fight in the Emperor's name? I know it's a little limiting have Marines from just one Chapter, but it could work (plus, the chance to paint every Canon BA Chapter ). Either that or you could have a battle similar to one of the Armageddon Wars and apply the same scenario but with various Chapters fighting together and then losing track of said Brothers. Hope that helps. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290356-chapter-creation-emperors-fedelisfaithful/#findComment-3670575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Retreat Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I quite like the concept. I am also not sure which setting 30k or 40k you are referring to. 40k; The way I see it, taking into account that each marine is a huge investment in time and money, what would the Inq do? Especially to the loyal survivors of a chapter that had gone over to chaos. "Grimdark" says kill them. the question is how? What if there is a Inquisitor that has need of space marines for a extremely dangerous mission(the cliched suicide mission?). The mission is successful and some marines survive. Would the Inq just keep on using them till they are all dead or would the Inq eventually reward them by either inclusion in the Deathwatch or potentially their own Inq controlled chapter? As I said I like the concept so please continue to follow this idea to its conclusion.
