zebbie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 So recently I've been nutting over ideas for fluff for my Blood Angels successor chapter and I was wondering if the community here thought it would be plausible for a successor to send candidates for training with other Chapters. I was thinking of having my Chapter Master having spent a campaign with Dante as an example. Do you think this is likely? Or am I just trying too hard?

Sete Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I honestly dont know. Think not. But I read damocles and a company champion from the dark hunters was fighting with white scars.

Grand Master Belial Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't see a problem with squad size elements or larger serving with the Blood Angels. The Dark Angels codex shows them working with their successors and the Blood Angels have a stronger reason than most to keep close ties with their successors. It could be a tradition set up back at the founding of the chapter. The new chapter started on Baal until a home world was selected for them. They continued to recruit and the recruits would be sent to Baal for the advanced training after they have earned the Black Carapace. And in the Grimdark 40k, traditions are sacred. Now that the chapter is fully established and is more than capable of training their recruits, they continue to send them to Baal for further evaluation.

Lysimachus Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't see any reason why not. Inter-chapter training does happen, C:SM mentions the Hawk Lords training pilots for other Chapters. It could be something done early in the Chapter's history for a good reason, now they continue to do it because that's what has always been done. As Belial said, traditions are sacred, even if you can't remember why they started in the first place.

zebbie Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I was thinking that upon/before induction into Veteran status the elected members would be sent to Baal for a final assessment with the BA. Although my original idea was before promotion to officer status individuals would be sent throughout the BA sucessors, but i think that would be a little farther fetched. Edit: Am also trying to write a fluff piece from the viewpoint of a Candidate. Will post when ot's done Edit 2: here we go.
