Iron Hands Fanatic Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 IMO it is pretty sure it's safe to say aurtek mor is a thunderwarrior who survived due to bionics rather than gene mods There has been no evidence to suggest this - all Massacre says is that there was dark rumour surrounding his origin, in that either his geneseed or bloodline were dubious. Jumping to "autek mor is a thunderwarrior" is a bit of a stretch, and the whole point is that it's vague rumour which gives him an air of mystery. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if Mor was a Thunder Warrior, but that's extremely far down the list of potential explanations.

jimbo13 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 So what xenos weapons may I possibly be able to use? Also does that leave the possibility of running recon marines as standard troops?

Shuriken weapons would be pretty sweet! Or some more esoteric weapons that don't actually have rules on the table top right now.

Felix Antipodes Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I continue to be intrigued by the line about some black shields were from legions, some from other factions. If all BS are Astares (as is so far indicated) what are these other non-legion Astartes with non-legion livery? Let's start the II/XI Legion bandwagon now and avoid the rush ;-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314588-info-on-black-shields/page/3/#findComment-4203481 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1000 Sons Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Maybe the Black Shields aren't just astartes with a new purpose, but astartes being used by another faction..... the CABAL !! Rules for John Grammaticus, Oll Person and some filthy xenos.

Conn Eremon Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 All this puts me in mind of some privateer types. Piratical, but with a chosen side. Can you imagine Dornian Privateers?

CaptainStabby Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I honestly haven't thought any further than an Astartes standing in the Captain Morgan pose with the giant feathered cap head from the Empire General kit and a Jolly Rodger chapter badge. That may be all I ever build, just because it would amuse me to do so. I have already done a Rogue Trader Lord-Captain similar to that with his Marine Murderhobo bodyguard, maybe I'll expand on that. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/1/16/574636_md-RT%20Buddies.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314588-info-on-black-shields/page/3/#findComment-4205208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 All this puts me in mind of some privateer types. Piratical, but with a chosen side. Can you imagine Dornian Privateers? I'm having thoughts of two Zone Mortalis forces now. Dornian Privateers versus SoH/Traitor Scars pirates. An Imperial Fist captain who was too far to reinforce Terra, and instead decided to bring the fight to the enemy. On the other side, a Son of Horus commander who took profit of the civil war to carve his own pocket of the Imperium, pillaging various worlds with renegade White Scars attached to his fleet.

Actually I'm not sure what 30K/40K Astartes pirates do since money is useless to them. Capture ships, shanghai the enemy's crew and loot their war supplies?
