eviljim Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I was thinking of making a chapter based on Egypt. If anyone has done this or can help me out, please. One of the things that I need help with is the Geneseed. The name of the chapter will be Knights of Ra. Edit: Colors: Dark Blue with gold and yellow detail. Icon: a golden ankh Geneseed: ?

Daeothar Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Good name, look for Nephren-Ka, IronLoki and several others of the 'Aegyptus Astartes'; a group of Frater all sporting egyptian themed chapters. What? You didn't think you were the only one with brilliant ideas now, did you? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eviljim Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 I am not fond of Ultramarines. About Thousand Sons, at first I was going to use there,but then dismissed it. After thinking about Geneseeds, what do you think about Salamander's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talock Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 ok, you got me on that one <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah its just planets, so what else do you have for your army so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Contact Nephren-ka, as he runs the Aegyptus Astartes, which will give you a nice look at lots of other Egyption chapters. Even if you dont decide to join them in their little part of space, if will give you idea's for your chapter. As for gene seed, Ultra's is always best, then Imperial Fists. Then you've got Raven Guard, Sallies, Iron Hands and White Scars which can be used but are less common. Dark Angels arnt used much, then Blood Angels and Space Wolves are used even less (Wolves not at all) due to their genetic instability. Good name, look for Nephren-Ka, IronLoki and several others of the 'Aegyptus Astartes'; a group of Frater all sporting egyptian themed chapters. lmao :lol: Ferrata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeothar Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 :lol: Hey; we're all equal in the eyes of the Emperor! Right? :lol: *runs away to avoid certain mods' Egyptian themed wrath* NO please! Not those plagues again!! :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 As always, the Aegytpus Astartes can be found here. -> The thousand sons gene-seed has nothing to do with Egyptians. Whilst the marines of Prospero had Egyptian stylings, a chapter with the same DNA wouldn't suddenly get the urge for scarabs and ankhs. -> A marine is not dark-skinned because of the planet he is recruited from. All marines have an organ called the Melanchrome, which can change their skin tone if they are bombarded with extreme radiation (an instant tan to protect the marine). Some confusion also arises because Vulkan was the only dark-skinned primarch. -> On a personal note: Talock, please avoid one-line posts. You say the Salamanders wouldn't work for a Egyptian-themed successor. Say why not; explain your arguments clearly. People in the liber need extensive and useful feedback. This isn't amicus, where flame-wars abound and quick and pithy one-second (and one-line) responses are the aim of the game. It's important to have reasoned discussion and feedback, or else people's fluff will never improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
