Librarian- Melechor Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 A chapter which has a constant need for revenge, seeking out those which has done harm to the chapter. Maybe they where betrayed and spend all the time seeking revenge (ala Dark Angels and Fallen) Or maybe they are named that as they were created to be revengeful on the empeor's enemies/their geneseed's primarch's enemies (look like UM successor).

Astartes Consul Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I wonder, hmmmmmmmm, I've always like the masters of Proteus. Mebey Proteus doesn't have to be a planet, mebey they are radicle and have master a deamon or deamon weapon called Proteus. Or Proteus could be a planet, mebey with links to their founding, as could the deamon. As for the avenging sons, well, drop pods any one? :wub: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/81181-collaborative-ia-article/page/2/#findComment-939344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrata Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 Anyone have anymore idea's or shall we move onto choosing the chapter we're going to use?

Commissar Molotov Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 It seems the logical thing to do. So, we have: Avenging Sons Eagle Warriors Imperial Castellans Knights of Gryphonne Marauders Masters of Proteus Red Hunters Skull Bearers Warmongers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/81181-collaborative-ia-article/page/2/#findComment-939824 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt_Tiberius Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Avenging Sons already has a bit of fluff. They are featured in the Short Story "Apothecary's Honour". It is probably one of my favorite Space Marine stories. As for my point before on the Red Hunters, what I meant was something like this: The Red Hunter Marines have Geneseed that has been experimented on by the Adeptus Biologicus (or however you spell it). They have been tampering with the seed by incorporating xeno DNA (Ork, Tyrranid, Hrud, Ambul...whatever, maybe a mixture of these). The altered gene-seed could give give them great advantages (but have severe side effects). Which could be represented with the Cursed founding rules and abominations. As For the Castellans (one of my favorite schemes for some reason) To represent there defensive nature you could have them be a very shooty army (low on fast attack high on Dev Squads). Since Castellans "watch over" stuff, you could have them guarding a major shipping lane or vital planetary system or other some other high priority place.

Commissar Molotov Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) I personally would be dead against genetically altered marines. There are far too many 21st Founding Chapters that go through Liber's doors. We could do without another. There are many other avenues that could be pursued through the Inquisitorial angle. Your ideas regarding the Castellans are good. Obviously being used as a synonym for 'Guardian', the idea of them protecting shipping/boarding pirate vessels is a good one. And one Daeothar's Fiery Lions should be familiar with. So: Imperial Castellans Knights of Gryphonne Marauders Masters of Proteus Red Hunters Edited August 5, 2005 by Commissar Molotov Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/81181-collaborative-ia-article/page/2/#findComment-939911 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krooter Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Red Hunters and Warrior Adepts sounds good.

Daeothar Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Castellans or Red Hunters for me then. Both of these might tie in with my own chapter fluffwise at some point and since that's the next big thing in Liber anyway, I'll gladly write them in... :D Castellans as shipping lane guardians would be a cool angle, one which has not been too overdone (yet) either. So that would provide us with some interesting plots. Especially with them being more of a standoffish shooty chapter instead of close combat oriented. Because of their shipborne nature, I'd suggest having them use loads of artillery and barrage weapons, as they are used to a ship's artillery. Besides; an artillery-heavy (loyal) chapter has not been done before to my knowledge. Damocles vehicles are a must then of course. Break out those pieplates... Red Hunters could be the next Crimson Fists then, as Inquisitorial lapdogs. However, Killteams could be a asset (chapter specific or 'generic' Deathwatch), as could be Stormtrooper allies. I'd make them pretty spread out over the galaxy, not clustered close to their Fortress Monestary. A squad here, half a company there, in service of this and that Inquisitor (lord) as their muscle. They might have fast ships (courtesy of the ][ ) and state of the art equipment. Perhaps they had a falling out with the ][ at some recent point when the chapter felt it should go on a crusade, because it has been neglecting the big battles and righteous fights (tired of the covert, sneaky small scale operations with the ][ ). Not a complete break with their sponsors mind you, but more like an Amish striking out on his own for a year before returning, just to get that wild stuff out of his system... My personal number one for now is the Castellans though.

Bloodwraith Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Not sure if you want my input but a truly knightly order of marines would be awesome following all the medieval rituals and whatnot. They wouldn't be able to take knights but they would be able to take squires who have excelled themself. My vote if it counts is the Knights of Gryphonne, there is so much rich medieval imagery and what not you could draw upon.

Ferrata Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 If this gets started can someone PM me as I rarely visit the board now Will Do :D Some very nice idea's there daeothar. What I'll do is I'll gather together all the information we have said on each chapter, the politely ask one of the mods to start a poll. I'll post all the information we've got in that thread and we can decide on which one we're doing. That sound good for everybody?
