ironloki Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well if your doing a DIY chapter you need to think deep. Try to think of things such as their influence (i.e mine are Greco-Egyptian), how old is the chapter, who's their main enemy, where's their geneseed from? Try to think about a few of these things to bring your chapter more to life. Also a colour scheme is nice :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77425-new-army/#findComment-890876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Trader Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The DIY Creation thread should be of some help, containing as it does the accumulated wisdom of some of those mods and frater that contribute to the useful discussions here in Liber :tu: One part in particular that may be of use to you is this: It never hurts to get the basics down to start off with: - What geneseed are they? - What founding were they? - What is their chapter symbol/colour scheme? - What is their Homeworld like, and what is the culture of the homeworld? (ie is it a Hive World, a Feral World, a Death World etc) - Where in the Imperium are they based? (It may help define the kind of enemies they face most often.) - What is their Combat Doctrine like? (do they prefer Close Combat or ranged fighting?) - What is their Organisation like (do they follow the Codex or are they a bit different?) - What is their Belief System? That gives you a basic framework to start from, and makes it alot easier for you (and us) to develop your chapter ;) RT Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77425-new-army/#findComment-890891 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrata Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 they are a all termie chapterNo chapter can get 1000 suits of terminator armour. Maybe you should say your playing the first company (veterans) and use DW rules. tropicle paradise. Paradise as in look really nice, or really nice/easy to live on. If its the live on one, you might have trouble finding recruits on that kinda enviroment with enough blood lust to become marines. For Names, how about something like Odin's Fists and do a viking themed chapter. This can work with any kinda of civilization and mythology Ferrata Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77425-new-army/#findComment-891249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akranadas Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Or you can blow all that geek and eypotus stuff out the window and do a very basic chapter like mine, basically they are extremly friendly to all humans (except heritics of course) and help and worlds they can (fleet based), although fluff wise this is kinda boring.

Agreed, you dont need to base a chapter on a human civilization, but usual it helps with the character. My chapter has no strong links with any civilization, some things might match up, but generally theres no link. This is ok if you have another theme, but an army without a theme has a hard time writing fluff for.
