Azaryn Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Edited : Striking from no where giving no quarter this cursed founding chapter using the previously known strain of the blood angel gene seed strikes out of the darkness.Embracing fully the gifts from their primarch of their vampiric nature. Precision violence and cold savagery coupled with their curse of vampirism has led to many accounts of blood rituals.The almost albino colouring of unmasked or un-helmeted marines looking like the nightlords of old. However this is more due to sunlight causing intense pain to the marines eyes. This also has another effect of improving marines eyesight during the darkest of hours.Entirely fleet based all ships in the fleet have very minimal light at all times Still stuck on the name though ... I have changed my mind about them being based in a space hulk instead being specialized in clearing them out. They are fleet based chapter. Any C&C is welcome, any name suggestions are more than welcome. They will be dark blue with silver accents.

Brink Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hello! For an idea on a color scheme that is easy to paint have you considered a black primary color as it covers very well and if you can highlight it right it will look great. Good luck with your chapter I'd love to help but I don;t know much about the BA.

Black is really tempting tbh but I was planning doing my Death Company black too ... :/ I guess I could palate swap do my Death company red with the main color being black ....

Azaryn Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think blue could look real nice ... Blue white & red or blue white & Black (the blood drop being black) ...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Regarding the Founding: Only the High Lords of Terra can authorize the Founding of a new Space Marine Chapter, and it's extremely unusual for Space Marines themselves to ask that a new Chapter be founded. (I'm citing 'Codex: Dark Angels' regarding a Chapter founded specifically to Cypher.) What deals did the Blood Angels make to convince the High Lords to support the Founding? Regarding the colors: Why are the Marines' left arms painted white? What does that symbolize?

Regarding the colors: Why are the Marines' left arms painted white? What does that symbolize? I think the high lords might be interested in a cure for the black rage/ red thirst and as such the chapter was created to seek out the Lamenters. I'm not sure about the white arm as of yet, I was thinking of having it linked to the marines using blood letting from their left arm.

Azaryn Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've been thinking over the fluff, here's what I've got so far. The chapter was recently created in an effort to cure the flaws of the BA geneseed. Rumour has it the seed was spliced with that of another legion but it appears to be only rumour for the moment. The chapter is very young and as such they haven't developped their own chapter badge as of yet, and some of the Veterans served in the BA & their successors. The chapter has been working on clearing out a Space Hulk that an illfated team of Lamenters Terminators took on. They have yet to retrieve anything from the hulk in regards to the Lamenters. They have cleared out a decent amount of it though and are currently using it as their base of operations. Recruits are often sent into infested parts of the hulk as their initiation. They recruit from a variety of worlds, the selection seems quite random, it is the high librarian who dictates where the next batch of recruits comes from, as if he "saw" something. Following their work into cleansing the hulk the chapter has grown to love cqc weapons, meltas, flamers, inferno pistols, shotguns (very popular) & melee weapons. They seem to have few tanks : 1 land raider per company. 1 or 2 BAAL predators per company, 1 or 2 rhinos. They use stormravens and flyers very often and deploy with droppods. It seems like they have 0 bikes. They seem to have a different organisation to other BA successors. The 1st company is made up of sanguinary guard, clad in silver armor. The other companies are set up as following : 1 captain, 1 chaplain, 1 sanguiary priest, 1 techmarine & librarian. 20 terminators (10 shooty, 10 assault) 20 Veterans (10 Vanguard, 10 sternguard) 10 Assault Marines 50 Marines 10-15 initiates. Their is a grand total of 5 companies. Each controls a different sector of the hulk. They seem to handle responsability of the search for cure very well, they seem very optimistic. As of yet they have had little success and do have a death company at regular numbers for a BA successor.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Space Hulks are known to enter and exit the Warp at unpredictable intervals, and to follow their own path through that realm. If your Chapter intends to use it as a base-of-operations, it needs some way of controlling when and where the Hulk enters and exits the Warp.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I presume you need the AdMech to help stabilize a Space Hulk- which will probably involve stripping the entire Hulk of malfunctioning Warp engines from the ships that make up the Hulk- OR a Chaos sorcerer to enact a ritual. The latter is obviously UNACCEPTABLE to a loyal son of Sanguinius.

Azaryn Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 All I need now is a name ... I was thinking of the chapter only choosing their badge once their mission clearing the space hulk complete.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 "Chimeric" gene-seed is almost never used in the Imperium- there is almost no reason to use it, as the Imperium has far greater resources than the Traitors. The few exceptions- Relictors, per-Badab War Astral Claws- turned renegade and Traitor. In fluff, different Primarchs' gene-seed require different techniques for handling and implantation- the Space Wolves require recruits to drink something with a "Canis Helix," without which other organs can't be implanted AT ALL- so it's not practical for the Imperium to mix gene-seed sources. (Chaos Space Marines use Chimeric gene-seed due to desperation, or to insanity- see Fabius Bile.)
