Sete Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 So back again. This release filled me with zeal and a new mood for a Chapter of my own devising. They will be called Crimson Knights (instead of Vanquishers) They will be red with black cross and black trimmings. Red because the historical inquisition used red and they are on a witch purge. Former librarius of the chapter was currupted by chaos, and possessed, and they are on a hunt to restore their honour. Like always, I will be playing them on Table top and will use Templar rules. More to come! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306953-crimson-knights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrvat Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It is no problem, chapter fortress monasteries are often on planets/asteroid/moons with no population.As an owner of a Ultramarine successor with the same name I am greatly interested in your take on a space marine force with the same name.

Sete Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Yes its a cool name. I had it in mind since last september but never used it because I had seen some Vanquishers around here in the forum. But I like the name. I still need to think about this better. can you provide a link to your Chapter out of curiosity? Im planning to paint mine green with details silver and Maltese cross on both Shoulder pads (wonder why xD). Basically they will be a crusading chapter xeno fighting specialists, bent on exterminating alien scourge of the galaxy. Probably late founding. Infantry alpha strikes specialization. Drop pods and Termies. Visually I aim to go for a proto knightly. Forest pre industrial home world, basically the only city is around the Chapter Keep, with every child born being taken from the parents and scanned for genetic purity. Also every citizen has a genetic check up and its chosen a genetic match up for maximum potential. Also they bring in people from other worlds they campaing to have more genetic variety.

Sete Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Updated first post. New project on the works. Also they will be a Knighlty chapter as the name implies and will be similar to Templars. As were all the crusading orders. The chapter will be created after the wars of the Apostasy and the first CM will be marshall navarre from the BT chapter. (Captain of the breach) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306953-crimson-knights/#findComment-4083985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to come! Hi, sorry if this seems a bit abrupt, but how are they going to be different from Black Templars, apart from being red ?

Sete Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Good question. How is a sucessor chapter different from his parent chapter? Especially one so young? M36. I tried this before and got the same question. And will give the same answer. Templar lore changed. They revere the Emperor as a god, they are codex sized now which opens up possibilities for sucessor chapters. (Executioners have 2, so why dont the Templars have a ine since now they are codex size? ) They "lost" their librarius, which by chance happened the same to the CK. They will not be fleet based for instance, they will not revere the Emperor as a god, nor receive visions form the Empy. Also will be codex compliant. No crusader squads. They will share the knightly theme. Also its easy to get some cross tranfers, and by far the easiest ones to put so thats lazy on me. Also since im planning to have a former marshall from BT to be the first CM alongside a cadre from IF and Soul drinkers librarian( that will be the cause of corruption) I still need to check their lore a bit more. Why all these guys? Age of apostasy war. When they killed vandire. Captain of the Breach navarre from the BT chapter led the troops to victory in the walls of the Imperial palace. In the proceding founding he was invited to lead new chapter due to his heroic acts along side other heroes of that war. So in disposition, they will be zealous amd knighlty, not to BT extent. I can give the example of subjugators. They share the same disposition of the Templars but have other duties to attend. I plan on doing the same. Since this is a chapter I plan to play on TT, having them similar is a good excuse to use BT ct. Yes they will be similar but I do hope that in time I can make them a bit different.

Sete Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Sorry for the format. Im on mobile. This is still on alpha phase. Getting the groundworks done. Every question and critic is welcomed.

Doctor Perils Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hum, why not ? If they are formed just after Vandire's demise, I'd probably say they are wary of the Ecclesiarchy, so you can probably try to work this into the fluff somehow. You can also say something along the lines of them not liking the adepta sororitas, because they used to be the treacherous brides of the emperor, and they are now the ecclesiarchy's militant arm. (Bear in mind that this does not exclude them from revering the Emperor as a god) Since they are black templars successors, they will probably revere their chaplaincy more than most chapters. What is their homeworld going to be like ? And what are the duties you allude to ? Would you be able to find a fluffy reason for them being red ? (this only needs to be a one-liner, but expand as much as you want) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306953-crimson-knights/#findComment-4085677 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this only needs to be a one-liner, but expand as much as you want) After a bit of research, i found out that there is a founding just after the reign of blood. Being wary of the Ecclesiary and sisters is quite a good sugestion. The homeworld i was thinking on a feral tribal theme. I have some GK bits and SW bits that i want to use. Some pelts on the termies with Longswords. Now fluff reason to be red. I actually tought a bit about this. Maybe Black With Red trims, ala Sword brothers. The marshalls are chosen from the Sword Bros, i would like a colour scheme that connects to their founder. still need to think a bit about this.

Doctor Perils Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 For me the founder is referenced just by keeping the same chapter emblem. You could give a cheesy reason for the red like "black is the Emperor's revenge, whereas red is his Fury/Wrath etc.!" something along those lines. No need to do more complicated.
