Sete Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I always liked the abyssal crusade. Especially the chapters that escaped. Now with these end times shenanigans, I thought on about a Chapter Master of a chapter that escaped the Abyssal Crusade that was "blessed" by the Emperor and led a portion of his brothers to safety. The Blades Eternal fits my bill because their fate is unknown, and is low key enough to GW remember them. Using BA rules and Mephiston profile I think it could be done properly. Symbol wise, I have DW Templar Cross, and could use GK shoulder shield with sword to pimp my dudes out. Colour wise I'm not sure. Grey and Bronze?

Thurservor Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I would suggest adding some red to the color scheme to resemble their ancestry if you consider them BA related. here is my take on Vorpal Swords, if you are interested: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327654-ia-my-take-on-vorpal-swords-chapter/?do=findComment&comment=4556564 I must admit that I am also totally into Abyssal Crusade, I consider it one of the: "greatest, yet unexplored" lore events to be taken as foundation for cool Chapter background. if you want a summary of what happened to all of those poor fellas who went in on the crusade, check this out: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286823-vorpal-swords-and-survivors-of-the-abyssal-crusade/?p=4556453\ also, be sure to post some of your minis with this custom color scheme, I would love to see Abyssal Crusade participants fleshed out, they deserve this.

I like bronze but, for some reason, it has Chaos-y associations for me. It and brass seem to be the favored metals of Khorne. Not that you can't use it, of course, but it's something to keep in mind.

Sete Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'm not relating them to BA, just using their rules. :) Going for Unknown gene seed. Had a look at your vorpal swords Thurservor, great job. Need to choose a proper scheme. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330393-blades-eternal-what-if/#findComment-4638082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
