Guest Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Here is a few pics of a colour scheme I was thinking of or do I go for nostalgia and go 3rd Company under the greatest Blood Angel Captain Tycho. I have always had a soft spot for Tycho and his death story is without a doubt one of my favourite pieces of 40k Lore. Its a test so a few bits not complete :) What says the mighty Blood Angel Frater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Blue Blood Angel successors? I like it. A nice departure from the traditional "EVERYONE MUST BE RED!" thing most chapters have going on. I say stick to your blue dudes. Dallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I certainly love the colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Janos Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Really love the blue scheme. I always like looking at the successor chapters that people have created so I'd love to see how you develop it. However the Armageddon campaign was one of the things which got me into the hobby in a big way so I'm always a fan of Tycho. An incredibly useful answer I know as I've not actually come down on one side or the other, but at the end of the day Id say go with whichever you're going to enjoy doing more.

Charlo Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Dat Blue is great! What if they had a mutation that turned their blood blue? Less oxygenated etc.. Already got some fluff to work with! Plus they'd look great alongside the rest of our awesome custom chapters! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327748-slate-of-sanguine-successors/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I like the scheme a lot! I think it would look even better if the shoulder pad were a dark grey instead of black... but that's just me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Well I expected some votes for Tycho and the 3rd :P @Luthermax Yeah and do the Company blood drop another colour than yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I actually like the yellow blood drop! The yellow and turquoise blue you have going on would look really cool with dark bluegrey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Well its been nearly 2 weeks, I can't think of a suitable theme for my Successors.. In my research I found that the Blood Angels are a mix of so many cultures, Roman, Greek etc, but you throw and I hate to use the term Vampires into the mix. The naming convention of Successors play on the Blood Part too much too. Given my colour scheme I have made this very hard to play to that archetype. When I do Successors I like a good reason thats believable. I did think of using Russian names like Alexei/Alexander, and going with the obsession with flame. But does that put them more like Salamanders? (Flamer wise) Chapter Name wise Zealots of the Emperor Sons of Kerensky (How many will get that reference) :) Cerulean Guard Important parts. Russian Archetypes/Names First Chapter Master was a Blood Angel who was into ancient Terran history (I might be wrong but BA seem to have a love of art and history) Flamers are their preferred Weapons. Chaplains are a major part to the point a Chaplain can be Chapter Master (Known as the Lord Confessor) Fanatics they see the Emperor as a God and Sanguinius as his most Holy Son. Does flame obsession = flames on the armour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefragable Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 ...maybe they're the blue sheeps of the BA family? ....get it? get it?!?!?!? Here all week! Try the veal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The Great Father would like the second name. There is a danger in naming your chapter after other fantasy/sci-fi settings/characters though. I think the blue is awesome, and I agree that the pauldron color could be grey as an alternative to black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Since the BA are Renaissance inspired (original architecture, names, the whole rebirth from a terrible life, etc) with a more Western European Renaissance theme, maybe take that same era with the Russians (which would be around the Time of Troubles). So possibly look at some names of historic Eastern European units from the late 1300-1600's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 As an example, Angels of Kovak maybe? I got Kovak from Kiev. Kovak can be their homeworld that they found/liberated/whatever or maybe their first Chapter Master. So I guess that second name you got was good, sorry I missed that! But personally I would recommend at least having Angels in there. So instead of Sons of Kerensky, Angels of Kerensky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does flame obsession = flames on the armour? Blue blood is often a sign of purity or nobility. A little wikipedia reading shows that Blue flames come from either copper chloride or butane...not sure where that could go. looking up russian nobility can lead you to some interesting words to write in, but you could call them the Blue Court or maybe the Emperor's Court, Sanguine Court? -DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Yeah, or the Angelic Duma or something like that. Also, where as BA captains are often known as Lords and Dante is the Lord Commander, I would recommend going the Russian nobility route as well. Not necessarily anything specific but maybe something like Prince (for chapter master or captains, and maybe add a Grand for the chapter master, so Grand Prince or Great Prince), Boyar, Grand Lord (rather than Grand Duke), etc. I assume they get a lot of their Russian influence from their homeworld (so it bleeds in from the recruits?) Personally that would be a better explaination then super ancient and lost history lessons. Planetary culture will make a pretty big difference.

Guest Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I like Duma.... So the Chapter Council as a collective is the Angelic Duma or Duma Angelic? I wonder if Prince is too much? Grand Duke (Chapter Master) - Duke (Captain) - Grand Duke/Duke or possible Grand Prince/Prince being the formal? Lord Commander and Commander being the standard like the Blood Angels? 2 more names for contention then? Angels of Kovac/Vaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Blue Court and Sanguine Court are both neat. If Arkley doesn't use either, I hope someone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
