Feral Haggis Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 was just wondering what the fluff behind them is and what traits would be used for an army of them? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85132-sons-of-orar/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 From what I understand, the Sons of Orar are a DIY chapter created by someone at GW (thus how they managed to get into the Codex) although they could be from anyone. There is no offical fluff or traits for them as they are someone's DIY.

Commissar Molotov Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 The Sons of Orar were created by Keith Robertson, part of the 'Eavy Metal team, and can be seen in various White Dwarves and Codex: Space Marines. In WD 305 (UK), there is a Sons of Orar Terminator Librarian - Keith says: 'My Sons of Orar chapter have a history of fighting Tyranids which I wanted to represent through the use of trophies...' This would suggest Preferred Enemy as one of the traits. You might be able to email White Dwarf UK and ask for a contact email for Keith if you wanted to ask him what traits he uses...

Feral Haggis Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 that sounds like a very good plan i may just do that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85132-sons-of-orar/#findComment-984722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_the_Heretic Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Would you think consent is required to field an army of the Sons of Orar? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85132-sons-of-orar/#findComment-1004715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Consent? No. My understanding is that the Sons of Orar are a fully legal army under the trait rules given in Codex: Space Marines. As such, you need no more consent than you would to field your own DIY chapter.

Burn_the_Heretic Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I would expect Preferred Enemy: Tyranids to be their only trait advantage, with a disadvantage of one's own choosing then?

Commissar Molotov Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Well, as I said before, the best idea is to contact Keith Robertson - only he knows the background for the chapter. If you want them to be truthful to his ideas, you'd have to try to get in touch with him.
