Hallowedsons Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 So I want to create a new chapter. All I have right now is this: Their colour scheme is that of the knights of caliban but then with purple instead of green, they are a successor chapter of the soul drinkers, and they were founded during the cursed founding. Im starting from stratch so if anyone wants to help me through this process im gratefull.

Peredyne Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If you want to stay in Canon, the Soul Drinkers were declared Excommunicate Traitoris, so there would be no official Successor Chapters. However, the Soul Drinkers themselves were a Successor Chapter of the Imperial Fists. It's also possible that during the time before they were declared ET, that they would have been tithing their Geneseed to Mars as per all loyal chapters. Many of the Cursed Founding Chapters were founded using Traitor Geneseed. IIRC, The Sons of Antaeus were founded using Death Guard geneseed.

Hallowedsons Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yeah, so it is possible that they were formed by the gene-seed of the souldrinkers during the cursed founding right? Ok, now i need three more things: A chapter name, a symbol, and a flaw (weren't all the cursed founding chapters flawed), but not a flaw that has to see them excommunicated.

Hallowedsons Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 So I want them to look something like this, and they're going to be called the Soul Raptors. I still have no idea as to their symbol, however, I thought that their flaw might be that they steal the essence of those they kill, and they channel that energy into their weapons. This would, however, poot them on bad footing with the inquisition, who are quickly led to believe that this means are contaminated.

I don't really know about the hands though...they seem out of place but maybe on a painted model it will look better. Don't worry about the inquisition too much, the Blood Drinkers(BA Successor) have had rumors of periodically drinking actual blood FOREVER and no one has come down on them in any way, shape or form. "soul drinking" may be a but tough though as...how would they do it? Its never been recorded in 40K fluff. However they could be a tribal/shamanistic cult that performs these rites of soul drinking to quench some kind of mental or physical deficiency? So on the outside they praise the emperor through these rites and rituals but on the inside its actually about looking or feeling more human.

Dosjetka Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I disagree with the point that just because we don't have any fluff regarding the Blood Drinkers and the Inquisition that they haven't been any investigations about their blood-drinking practices. I'm pretty sure that someone has gone after the Chapter at some point in time (I mean when people start talking about such a Chapter, I'm certain that nobody's going to think "oh hey, totally cool with that. Normal stuff. Carry on with life").

True, but then again there are "worse" cases in the universe or so many other things the inquisition in its inner political strife needs to be focused on that they probably disregard this until it becomes there next item of business.

Hallowedsons Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Soul Tearers The Soul Tearers are a loyalist Space Marine chapter. The gene-seed used to create them was drawn from the Soul Drinkers, who later turned renegade, and as such the chapter is under the scrutiny of the inquisition, who have as of yet not found any genetic flaw worth mentioning. Dark whispers mention the fact that their gene-seed is tainted, and that they should all be annihilated to prevent more conflict. The Soul Tearers stoically endure all these whispers and continue to prove their loyalty. The colours of the Soul Tearers are dark purple, and their symbol is a winged and fanged skull. The chapter is known for extremely quick strikes, involving rapid closure into close combat, utilizing both jump packs and drop pods to ensure this goal. Once they come into range, their deadly mastery of their weapons quickly becomes clear to all who survive. Their savagery has often been matched to that of the Space Wolves, and the two chapters enjoy a relationship of mutual respect towards one another. However, every battle the Soul Tearers fight yields rumours about their mutation. Captives have said to see ethereal arms reach out from the Soul Tearers and literally rip the souls from those who oppose them. Such stories are rare, however, and have always been quickly silenced. Currently, the Soul Tearers are believed to be part of Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305732-my-new-chapter-is-this-in-the-right-place/#findComment-4001446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be something very very rare amongst space marines as any other recorded event would immediately be Daemon in style and type. I would consider another route, but in the end its your Space Marine chapter.

Arendious Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 In the final tally, brother, it's your story - nothing is -really- taken. That said. Perhaps the literal soul-tearing is attributed to a past Chapter Master. Something considered legendary in the current chapter, something maybe the chapters' librarians seek to confirm or deny. Or you might consider a Sanguinor type character who appears when things are going well/poorly and starts soul-tearing foes.
