Kassill Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Preferably, we want to see you make a good IA. However, seeing as 'good' is a subjective value judgement that's mostly immaterial in regards to the goal of the nature of the challenges, allow me to put it another way: Try to make an IA that you are satisfied with. Whether or not that means utilising critique along the way is up to you. All that the challenge literally requires is that you have a complete entity. Alright, thanks for the clarification. I will, to the best of my abilities, provide a good IA.

Conn Eremon Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I am definitely going overboard, but I am confident that I can live up to the challenge. What is life without its challenges? :D Â I've got a good beginning going. I've already systematically labeled all fleet-based Chapters as the Space Marine equivalent of the homeless, which I am sure my Iron Hunters Chapter would truly not care for. Â Kassil, just just to rehash Olis's words, what matters most to us is that you create the Chapter you want and are satisfied with.

WarriorFish Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I've been punching mine up, probably going to end up quite long. 20 years worth after all... there's quite a few things to detail but I'm going to focus on getting enough down to post up and it can be refined from there :) Not least because I have a tendency to write late at night which is probably murder on good prose and grammar :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313932-the-liber-challenges-part-seven-space-marine-chapters/page/4/#findComment-4181165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) The green light of the data slate holo projector cast a sickly pall to the weathered and scarred face of the marine whom stared deeply at it, as if trying to discern some fragment of lost data or glean some hidden meaning from its replaying words. Â He flexed his right arm unconsciously, the servos and gears of the bionic limb whirred in response. Â The marine smiled coldly to himself. Â The limb had been gone for some time but it still somehow seemed to pain him. Â The Apothecarion explained such an occurrence was common in cases like his, the bodies memory of past pains. Â Memory, he thought to himself, he wondered whether those of the Liber would even remember him after such an absence. No matter, he had always been here, deep with in the depths of the hallowed halls. Â Broken oaths and failed challenges, thats what had put him here. Â But, as always, there was redemption. Â With a snarl he dashed the image from the holo projector, throwing the dataslate against the wall where it shattered under the fury of its flight. Â "SERF!" he demanded, and the terrified serf in the corner jumped, " Bring me another!" and the man scurried to obey, " As you demand, Lord Chaplain..." Â The serf returned shortly after with a new dataslate before inserting into the projector. " Let me see," the chaplain said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, " Where to begin... Ah yes, that will do..." Â Â I, Brother Silver Phoenix, do hereby vow to complete a telling of the glorious Interdictors Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes, Castellans of the Drift and scions of the Thirteenth Founding. Â This I vow to do by the 20th of October. Â DUTY TILL DEATH!!!!!

Conn Eremon Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Storm Bearers are getting to a good spot, should post them up tomorrow. Â I've laid the groundwork that I'll build the 18 others off of as well. I checked the Space Marine 'dex and compiled all of the Chapter blurbs it has. Successors are really small, about 30-40 words each, plus a small description under a heraldry example. The big-name Chapters got more, but the average even including them was about a ~100 words per. Â I'll be keeping that as my minimum for each of the 18, which I will start once I have the Storm Bearers up.

Kassill Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Quick question, I'm looking for an accurate timeline of certain events. For example, Lexicanum, which I have found to be a good source, has Logan Grimnar becoming the Great Wolf in 659.M41 (source, Grey Hunter by W. King) while the current SW codex has "the newly elected Great Wolf" Grimnar leading the Imperial Forces on Armageddon in 444.M41Grimnar and his ascension to Great Wolf is sort of key to my Lost Companies timeline. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313932-the-liber-challenges-part-seven-space-marine-chapters/page/4/#findComment-4182231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Well, if there are conflicting dates, you can go with the more recently provided date, you can choose which source you feel is more reliable, you can simply pick the date you think fits your Lost Company best, or you can leave it vague and say around mid-M41.

Conn Eremon Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Well, the Storm Bearers are up. It's possibly the shortest DIY article I've submitted, at least of my main ones. But then, the Storm Bearers were always light on details in my own head. I don't think it's too short, and I am content with its length. But I will do more for them, and I would appreciate any C&C to help me with that.  And just to be clear, if anyone happens to get the reference in their battle cry: I will NOT be including any other references from that source, nor will it have any further bearing on the Chapter. I just really like that phrase and feel like it fits.   So that's one down (barring criticism-derived development), eighteen to go!

WarriorFish Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 On the off chance anyone was wondering I have been working on this, but I've been forced to rethink my approach. Too much fluff to work in at once isn't really sustainable, or at least in a constructive way. So I've decided to go back to basics and work my way back up, starting with more general outlines. Enough to complete this challenge and lay out the foundations at least As it turns out writing about a chapter that actively avoids identification/names isn't straight forward Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313932-the-liber-challenges-part-seven-space-marine-chapters/page/4/#findComment-4184252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excubitor Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I Excubitor, vow to create the Tempest Sentinels, by the Twentieth of October 2015, this I vow in the name of Him on Earth and Vulkan! I think it's about time I finished off the IA I started....3 years ago, now, that went nowhere. Well, new name (used to be Storm Hawks until I found out there was already an official chapter... ), new IA. I'll dig through my old writings and see what I can come up with.

Conn Eremon Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Minor update to the Stem Bearers made. Â I have written 17 out of 18 of the others. So far the average is about 140 words each. Tried to push them all out this morning but I ran out of time. So one to go, plus six painter images. Only going to give one out of every three a look. Â They are an interesring exercise for me. There have been a few that really intrigued me as the ideas flowed in and I started writing them out. But I can tell that if I ran with them further, a lot of what intrigues me would go away, sacrificed for the sake of having a full article.

Conn Eremon Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Aye, that's a lot of it, too. :) Â I was thinking of it as them being glimpses over in-depth looks. I like to say that it's in those glimpses that us DIYers like to live, exploring and expanding where the powers that be don't. It's an interesting exercise to not do that, but to create my own glimpses. Â Glimpses I will ironically enough use in other DIYs, and will leave open for anyone else to do the same.
