General Strike Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 So, I was hoping for some Chapter design help for my incoming Ultramarines. I want to keep blue, but I'd like to go darker. I really like our story at Calth, and would like to theme my Chapter on the Vengeance force from that point on. Is I homebrewed them, they would have hatred(word bearers). I will be using Burning of Prospero to build my chapter, so I will have a majority MK3 marines along with Custodes in my force. I really hope the rumors are true of Lord Macragge making Sternguard troops too. Some chapter traits that I want and am adapting in based on my models are: Use old Mk armor Like frontal assaults, while remaining tactically flexible. Due to my commitment to a certain group, we have no Witches in my force, and can often be seen with Witch hunting forces to better slay the Daemon worshipping Traitors. I will definitely be fielding Roboute as long as he costs 500 points or less. I like elite armies as well, I will be bringing my Custodes and Terminators when I can. I had considered something like they were a crusading Chapter who has been wiped out down to our first company, and return to our Realm when we hear our Lord has awakened? I like Darker blue, with grey shoulder pads and emerald trim. Similiar to the 4th company of the Ultramarines.

Brink Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I don't see a problem with your idea except the fact that most of the wargear you described was evenly spread throughout the second founding chapters. Which GW has locked down really tightly as for what chapter were created. It may be a bit more of a stretch but you could try the third founding to your advantage as it is still early and some marines from Calth might still have been alive at that point. Hope that helps! I should also note that the Custodes no longer leave Terra after the conclusion of the Heresy so that is a conflicting point.

Brother Cambrius Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 A rather off the wall suggestion, but there is a new official 2nd founding Chapter that matches some of what you're looking for called The Nemesis chapter. They;re formed form the 22nd Company of the Ultramarine Legion and have a very close idea to your heraldry too. There's very little detail too them, so you could feasibly expand on it and give them more character and expansion, as has been done for many a Codex chapter with little detail in these hallowed LIBER halls. :) Cambrius Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330913-help-with-chapter-creation/#findComment-4654181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yeah, hopefully the upcoming lore will give a plausible reason for Custodes to be out and about. I do like the Nemesis Chapter, they fit well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330913-help-with-chapter-creation/#findComment-4654445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
