Brother Tyler Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 D'oh! The deadline and Other Things caught up to me. I'll see what I can have ready by the deadline. It won't be the grand article I'd planned on, but it'll be something.

WarriorFish Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nothing like a deadline to motivate you, I did mine in a single sitting last night...

WarriorFish Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 That's my thinking, it's complete as far as this challenge goes as it fills the criteria. Can an IA ever truly be completed though? I enjoyed writing it and have already got some help so I don't think I'll be waiting until next month to return to it There is so much more to write...

Father Mehman Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Well, looks like this Musketeer found some extra powder and shot for this challenge. The only section that needs completion now is the Notable Characters, er, section. Totally doable now that my brain is magically functioning again. In fact, I've got one chap almost ready for the gauntlet. Now that I've had some great and generous help in remembering how to cut things down via Grand Master Belial and also in the area of outlining from Conn and PaulJam, this article is going smooth. I think one more character and I'll be content. I do have one question: during the "get it together" month, can we begin to expand our Chapters using different Index Astartes formats and then present them? Not to say that I'll be waiting for then to strictly begin seeing which structures the Clerics will look awesome with. There's still finishing the Dark Angels Brotherhood Article but that's neither here nor there.

Ace Debonair Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 So, to qualify as complete for the challenge, I just need to add some notable battles and Chapter Heroes to my four Chapters. I think I might just be able to pull this off after all. They're all still very much in need of further work after that (extra thanks to everyone who came at me with the much needed C&C, apologies for taking so long to act on it) but then if writing IAs was easy I guess we wouldn't need a challenge to spur us into action.

My overall theme is an alternate version of Prometheus and the giving of fire. And the creatures in the IA are merely called Dragons as the indigenous population are not known for factual accuracy Still, I'll give it one last look over tomorrow.

Conn Eremon Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Coincidentally, my own Challenge was a Salamander Successor's take on Prometheus and the giving of fire, by replacing it with the Cyclops who forged the thunderbolts of Zeus. The father-titan gave us fire, because we can control the inferno, let it be the protector and the ravager as one. To give the fire to all would be to lose control, and the conflagration would consume indiscriminately. We are more, we are greater, than mortal man could ever become. But we are greater for mortal man. We bear the storm.

But we are greater for mortal man. We bear the storm. In my case, the "true" message (Prometheum Cult) of Vulkan was twisted. Fire was no longer "pure", it was used in the wrong way, so the Amber Dragons took back complete control of it, only giving the natives that which they needed and nothing more.

Tomorrow, although I admit I never actually gave a finish time. To make it fair, let's say that this challenge ends at 00:00 Tuesday GMT time. So, twenty-six (26) hours from now The Age of Darkness challenge will commence around 6-8pm GMT (twenty-two (22) hours from now.

Feedback you say? Orange and white - so gauche... no Marine would be seen dead in those colours. Dragons? Don't be ridiculous, this isn't fantasy! Call them the Amber Robodragons if you must, more sci-fi. Also their battle cry is really similar to the Salamanders, they're an OC (original chapter) do not steal. Am I doing it right?

WarriorFish Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 You'll never find those colours on a Terran catwalk let me tell you...
