Space marine bounty hunter

So this idea has been floating around in my head...I have thought about a renegade style group of marines that hire themselves out to further their own interests...there not pro chaos or pro imperium there only out looking for the next big thing... Any ideas on how to fluff this idea out into maybe a kill team size army?

Maybe the remains of a company that were stranded somewhere and believed to be casualties. When they were rediscovered by (inquisitor/Mechanicus/other chapter) records indicate that they are dead, so not trusted, maybe even attacked? They take umbrage at this and disappear.

Today, still wanted by the imperium, they survive as soldiers of fortune.if you have a problem, if no one else can help, if you can find them, maybe you can hire (insert chapter name here)....

Love the kill team idea, a handful of properly badass mercenary Marines! Extra kudos if one of them is a big Techmarine with black skin, Mohawk and a goatee; and a Gladius class frigate painted black with a red stripe!

 

As an aside, the Iron Gods Grotsmasha mentioned are one of my projects, their fluff and my minis are linked in my sig so feel free to take a look if it will help spark any ideas!

Hey, I like this Idea, I might give it a try myself in the future.

 

Personally, rather than half a company gone missing, bla bla, warp, bla bla rediscovered, I prefer the idea of individual marines tempted by their own personal needs, disappering mysteriously from their chapter (maybe fleeing in battle on purpose to escape the doctrine etc), then having met eachother they band together and form a small mercenary group. 

 

Oh yeah, Im definetly doing this.

Interesting idea. I thought of these guys as soon as I read it.

Some classic Rogue Trader for ya. I like the idea of marine renegades, and I will ALWAYS like the idea of heavily personalized armor. Right down to the graffiti.

Of course, I don't think those two are necessarily even supposed to be be renegades... But compared to today's monastic marines, they're close!

Horus Heresy has a type of game called "strike force". A 500 point army, with 150 points for 3 characters or independant characters and "up to" 350 points in infantry.

 

You do not take squads, but individual models instead. And you are not limited to one legion, but can choose freely.

 

It would fit nice with a small A team, but ofcourse doesn't work if you plan on normal big games.

Ok let's refine this some more

 

Squad leader/rifleman

Rifleman/medic

Heavy support/demo

Tech marine

Sniper

Must. Resist. Urge. To. Buy. Bits. Off. Ebay. To. Make. Space. Marine. Mandalorians.

 

 

I SUBMIT!!!

 

Order paid for and awaiting shipping...

 

Oh well, I'll get some practice in before I commence work on my DIY legion.

I play Knights of Blood, and they're a renegade chapter. Although they still fight for Mankind, they don't particularly care for the Imperium and actively dislike the Inquisition. I always pictured them sometimes taking money or supplies in return for their help, when it's offered (or, you know, just lying around...) because it's tough when most Forge Worlds won't resupply you and the Inquisition and Lords of Terra are trying to track you down with their pet Astartes chapters (I still can't wait to face someone's Grey Knights, Red Hunters, or Minotaurs on the table - gotta forge that narrative!). I also see them as occasionally being willing to work for xenos, provided their target was Chaos or other xenos (ie. they'll take stuff they can sell or trade from the Eldar in return for helping them to kill Tyranids or Daemons, or other xenos races like the Orks or Tau).

What bitz did you get? Maybe shapeways could make a mandolorian pad?

The kneeling leds from command set, mk. IV helms, a bunch of assault marine legs, some dev squad legs, a heavy bolter, some bolters, and knives. I was gonna buy pouches, but dear Emperor I have so many unused ones.
