Shadey Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hey, My first post here, known about B&C for a while now but only recently decided to dive in. I used to lurk on the Warhammer Online boards till they closed, then I used to lurk at portent until they closed. I appologise in adavance if, god forbid B&C closes in the next few months :P. Ok on to my questions. This is mainly background queries. I am currently working it all out, if anyone is interested I may post the results in this thread later. The Jagdmarines is loosely based on some of the armed forces of the third reich, obviously germanic in influence. I was wondering if I should tie it into Kreig in the 40k Universe. Should I: a) Steer clear of established 40k background (though keep it in character) and avoid any potential contradictions or discrepancies. B) Link it to Kreig perhaps a planet that was settled by people from Kreig, keeping a good link and not tieing it into established fluff and its potential traps. Perhaps a planet in system or it could be in an entirely different segmentum. c) Is it reasonable that Kreig, especially with its Imp Guard also have a Marine chapter based on or in system, and furthermore even if so, should I take such liberties? I will try to get a pic of one of my Jagdmarines on the web soon. Thankyou for your time. Edit: Remembered another question. I am looking at having them created somewhere around M34-36. I was wondering if there was some big conflict around then that would justify their creation. I have had a look but dont really know where to begin, I do however remeber some Cardinal thingy, some kind of religious war around then. I will also add they are primarily designed with human or humanoid apponents in mind. They are specialists in city fighting apart from a company or two that are expereinced in armoured support and field operations.

Commissar Molotov Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Welcome to the B+C. I would definately go for option B, personally. It would be quite characterful.

wings of sanguinius Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I would also go with B, but make it a really really close tie to the original planet. So close you can write fluff and do conversions as if they really where from Kreig.

Librarian- Melechor Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I am looking at having them created somewhere around M34-36. I was wondering if there was some big conflict around then that would justify their creation. I have had a look but dont really know where to begin, I do however remeber some Cardinal thingy, some kind of religious war around then. That was Vandire during the age of apostasy, he led a "religious war" that tore many chapters apart and did much damage to the imperium. That happened around m34-36 i believe, you could have your chapter being created to guard a planet that had some importance and was attacked during the the rebellion. Hope that helps, LM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/80664-the-jagdmarines-my-custom-chapter/#findComment-932181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator_of_Bahamut Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Well a) doesn't make much sense, though I agree that b) is good. As far as c), if the Chapter is base on a planet that is otherwise inhabited, it's possible there there is an IG PDF.

HellChyld Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 sounds like B all around. remember read the rules, watch your posts and your manners and keep your nose clean. post more on your chapter soon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/80664-the-jagdmarines-my-custom-chapter/#findComment-932463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadey Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Thanks for the replies and the welcome. B it is then. I wrote a fair bit of background today after I logged off, so its getting there. I had a quick look around for the right forum for this thread, obviously too quick. The other forum seemed right, to tell you the truth I did not expect a whole forum on DIY marine chapters. Sorry, still getting the lay of the place. Cool Vandire, I remember. Now that I have a name I can look find out the background and fit my chapter into it. Thankyou. Having them linked with Kreig also helps because I have the beginning of a Death Korp of Kreig army. To see the paint scheme I have uploaded a screenshot from Dawn of War. http://www26.brinkster.com/secretord/jagdmarine001.jpg (77kb) That is pretty much the main scheme but the symbol will be a little different. Thinking of adding a skull to it. Background to follow soon..... hopefully. (If there was a god of procrastination surely I would be he) Edit: Some direct access violation thingy, you will have to cut and paste the addy into a new window to get it to work.

jimmythemoose Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Its actually quite likely that somewhere in the galaxy there is a planet populated by people from Krieg, as sometimes regiments of the guard are allowed to settle on a planet if they do something extremely above and beyond the call of duty. The colour scheme looks good, but maybe change the chapter badge as at the moment it is the same as the black templars.
