He's a Battle-Brother from the 7th company, 1st squad.


He led his Chapter in glorious battles throughout the galaxy, slaying many of the enemy's champions. In the end, he was killed by an Assassin on the field of battle. Because of this, the Chapter harbors hatred towards the Oficio Assassinorum.


RECAP:
Our chapter is a Blood Angels descendant, of unknown founding, who attempted to purge the Blood Angels gene-seed of the flaws. Because of this, the chapters hates Xenos with a passion. Their Battle-Brothers are known for their remarkable toughness and flexible approach to warfare.
The principal figure of the Chapter is a battle-brother from the 7th Company, 1st Squad, who slayed a great deal of the enemies of the Imperium's champions. In the end he was killed by a Vindicare Assasin bullet on the battlefield, and this causes the Chapter to hate the Oficio Assassinorum and his operatives.

>>14996513
Knowledge is power
.>>14996508
I think it's how the skills of the battle-brother advance throughout the game.

Ok, recap.
Our chapter is a Blood Angels successor, of unknown founding, which resides in an Ice world. The chapter was created as a means of reinforcing the Imperium's presence in the sector.
Instead of following the steps of its progenitor chapter, the chapter tried to purge the flaws in the BA gene-seed, and this resulted in the chapter exhibiting the same flaws as its progenitor chapter (both the Red Thirst and the Black Rage), but also a tremendous hatred towards xenos. Changes on the gene-seed also have given the battle-brothers greater endurance than the average Astartes and ease to adapt to different combat situations.
The Hero of the chapter is a Battle-brother from the 7th Company, 1st squad, which struck down many of the Imperium's foes' champions before being struck down himself by a bullet shot by a Vindicare Assassin on the battlefield. Due to this, the chapter also shows a remarkable hatred towards the Oficio Assassinorum and its operatives.

The chapter strays from the Codex in that it doesn't have Librarians like regular Codex Chapters. The Chapter also shows esoteric beliefs involving shamanic and prehistoric era rituals (cannibalism as well ?).
The Chapter favours a fighting style (still to be decided, I think Halberds would fit and be cool, too) and favours Terror tactics to win its battles, demoralizing their enemies striking down their leaders and showing grisly trophies.

The Chapter holds a special grudge with a Chaos Daemon (still to be decided which and why).

Not OP but whatafack.

The Options are
Knowledge is Power
&
Command Without a doubt

CONTINUED.

So, we have to decide.
-Which fighting style do they prefer.
-Name of the Chapter. Suggestions so far :
++Megalith
++Brotherhood of Titans
++Brotherhood of Stone
++Bone Carvers
++Mammoths
++Granite Titans
++The Grey Clan.
-Name of the world.
-Friends of the Chapter.
-Define "Esoteric Beliefs". (Shamanistic is cool in my opinion, but let's try to make them sound not like Space Yiffs.)
-Battle Cry.
-Colours of the Chapter.

So far the chapter is a bit strange, Space Ice Cavemen which favour Terror Tactics and do shamanistic rituals.
On a second thought, that's actually pretty cool

their shamanistic prectices must have a link with wall paintings/carving, revering specific kinds of stones as sacred, and monoliths (kinda 2001 space odissey)

and also eating flesh and painting with blood.

>>14994562
This is off-topic, but does the artist of this stuff have a page somewhere? I keep seeing his shit on /tg/ and I like his style.

This does not seem very Blood Angels-y...

>>14997160
is that a problem?

they wreck shit, commune with Sanguinius and eat people, how is that not blood-angels-y?

If you're playing with Blood Angels, you could just paint them in Emperor's Nightmare colors

If I'm not mistaken, it's Queen Miko, author/illustrator of LCB, aka Iron Shrine Maiden on deviantart.

But considering that this precise pic has a sequel with the grown-up sis having dat ass, I'm not sure.

>>14997188
I don't understand the point/sarcasm you're trying to make.

>>14997160
Well they have a Unique Organization so they diverge a lot from the original Chapter. They have both the Black Rage and the Red Thirst, though.
>>14997112
Yeah, I think the concept is cool enough. Cavemen Marines is not something cliché, to say the least.
Still, I'm going to bed now (it's 5:03 am here). It's a shame /tg/ is so slow today, I'll check tomorrow on the thread to see if it's still here, and if not I have the recap to post a segund thread to try and flesh out the story of the chapter a bit more (and decide their friends once and for all).


Also, people, then the name is Brotherhood of the Megalith ? Any other suggestions ?

>>14997223
I archived it under "brotherhood of stone", but Brotherhood of the Megalith is better.

Okay for this. We have to expand a lot upon their beliefs, there's a lot to be done here.

>>14997265
>Blood Bears

if you're going for stone theme just steal any term from stone age history/archaeology

Sons of the Neolith/Neolithic Sons
the Brotherhood of the Megalith was a good idea, but I kind of like the simplicity of "The Megalith."

related words: dolmen, menhir

>>14997293
using the term "neolithic" doesn't make sense in 40k.
and Dolmen and Menhir have too many celtic connotations.

Using the term "brotherhood" accentuates their hermetic/esoteric aspect, while still being applicable to a primitive society.

>>14997265
I just had the mental image of a terminator covered in furs mauling an ork to death with it's claws/fists.

>>14997341
Let's avoid too many animal names. Maybe just for heroes, who have a specific totem animal, like Mantis Warriors with insects (so, yes, 40Kamen Rider is canon)

>>14997341
>Right ya gitz, let's go check dis 'ere cave thingy and see if weez can-GAAAH!! ME ARM!

>>14997384
u jelly, greenskinz?
some humies dig orks, some orks dig the Brothers of the Megalith/whatever.

Since they are BA descendants, we should give them jump packs customized to look like pterodactyl wings or something.

>>14997416
varying degrees of want.

If you're going some kind of tribal/shamanistic/cave man route...

Mastodons
Smilodons (sabre tooth tigers)

Blood Angel subchapter? Why so not red? Crimson Tusks, Scarlet Sabres....

>>14997330
40k as a whole doesn't make sense, I fail to see how neolithic wouldn't either. Eitherway it was just a suggestion given the apparent stone age theme you all were going for. Also Megaliths have a big Celtic connection too, so I wouldn't be so quick to rule out dolmen and menhir as words you could use, but again, they were only suggestions.

captcha: the stablith, how fitting.

>>14997444
red looks Blood Angels-y, so it looks faggy.

And I'm still not convinced about using animal names, we don't want to re-create the space yiffs.

Maybe the Mastodons for terminators.

I agree that Brothers of the Megalith should be the chapter name, with stuff like Crimson Tusks, Blood Bears, Mastodons etc. being attributed to special units/squads.

>>14997494
maybe something with slabs, then.

But Megalith is a greek generic term for any big stone. Technically, menhirs are megaliths, but menhirs and dolmens, if I'm not mistaken, describe something that's specifically celt. Not Megaliths.

40k may not make much sense, using the term "Neolithic" for guys who use advanced futuristic technology, and probably did a few thousand years before still makes me go "wtf".

>>14997538
okay, so, since OP also agreed, let's go for The Brotherhood of the Megalith, individual marines being Brothers of the Megalith.

crimson tusks for assault squads, maybe. Blood Bear sounds like a character's nickname. Maybe the Chapter's hero mentioned earlier.

>>14997572
>Brother Aed, also known as the Bloody Bear, was a hulking terminator famous for crushing his enemies between his thick lightning claws.

>>14997549
>>14997549
that's fair. As another suggestion I would maybe just use the Greek word Lithos, which just means stone. Brotherhood of Lithos, Sons of Lithos, Lithos Brotherhood, etc.

If you're adamant on Brotherhood of the Megalith, are you going to incorporate a megalith into the chapter fluff? Have them live in a giant stone tower or have the prostrate in front of a megalith bearing some mark of the emperor?

bump you motherfuckers

Bump, faggots.

I think the chapter fortress may be called the Megalith ? And have it be a huuge tower carved in stone, maybe ?

>>15001044
that seems pretty obvious. Maybe it's so fucking huge that aspirants have to climb it before being initiated or something.

We should also give those marines a few Inuit references. maybe something having to do with Angakoks as Chaplains/spiritual guides instead of librarians. Also, walrus, whales...

So, Brotherhood of the Megalith it is? I'll get the wiki page sorted out then.

>>15001160
woohooo!

Termies outta have tusks as a standard armour decoration, and use power claws which they *hug* their enemies with.

>>15001222
nah, not all have power claws; but tusks sound good.

>>15001160
Yeah, let's go with Brotherhood of the Megalith.
>>15001222
Oh yeah ! Chaos Termies have 2 heads in the sprues which have fuckhuge tusks and looks awesome.
We should start giving a name to the Companies. They are at nominal strength, so they have 10 companies. They however follow a Unique Organization, so we can sort them out as we like.

>>15001320
Okay, since we decided that the 7th company hero was a termie, then termies and veterans aren't only in the 1st company, but in each of them. not much, like, one or two squads, not more.

Here we go:
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Brotherhood_of_the_Megalith
Pretty minimalist at the moment, but what can you do.

>>14997033

I'm liking this colour scheme thus far.

>>15001345
The first two squads of each company are formed by termies, because the chapter due to some unknown reason has a surplus of terminator armour and can outfit more of its battle-brothers, maybe ?

>>15001370
okay, why not. Maybe not enough to equip the whole first company, though.

>>15001370
>surplus of termeis

Fuck yeah.

okay, so, thinking about the chapter master:

maybe a reference to Achab/Queequeg/Moby Dick, but more Inuit?

huge dude in a white termie armor, completely lunatic and unpredictable, but strangely insightful and awe-inspiring. Either tatoos all over his body (Queequeg) or a scar that runs down his face and whole body/other mutilations (Ahab)

also, idea about the warcry:

the deep growling sound is different for each marine, and is actually a modulation of their own monosyllabic name. Like "Aorh" or "Khar" or caveman-sounding names. Maybe it's even some sort of post-initiation secret name, and they commonly use their original (maybe more eskimo-sounding) name between each other.

bump for development.

>>15001493

I'm likin' this.

Also throwing my support behind the chapter being cannibals. We got into a bit of a debate on the subject with the Abyssal Jaws (who are also cannibals). It really isn't uncommon for Spess Mahreens to eat Human flesh; even the Imperial Fists do it. The only reason the Sons of Malice got in trouble for it is because they ate an Inquisitor (who in all fairness, was a complete dunce and knew nothing about Spess Mahreens or their rituals and decided to attack them for it)

>>15001591
Yeah, but also, cannibalism is a standard practice for Malal-worshippers, so it's a bit more than a genuine tradition for Sons of Malice.

Maybe the Brotherhood's cannibalistic practices could be more... refined and ritualised, but also more official and well-integrated in their culture: they don't eat their enemies on the battlefield, but bring some corpses back, cook them and eat them during rituals. Or something similar.

>>15001610

Yeah, I agree with you there. I can picture it being a cultural thing they adopted from their planet.

>>15001698
>>15001698
Or maybe something far more ambiguous: in most primitive societies living in harsh conditions, cannibalism is a taboo, especially with north-american/groenland populations (that's why you have legends of men turning into wendigowak after eating human flesh)

we should subvert this in some ways, but I'm not sure which ones.

They tried to eradicate the mutations in their geneseed, and it failed. Perhaps that instead of the usual vampire dynamic that most BAs have, we could tie it to the Wendigo legends and to popular caveman clichés. This means that, as they see themselves as already cursed, they believe that consuming human flesh helps them control the Black Rage/Red Thirst and to turn it into something more positive =>mystical battle trance, death company and everything, merging with the dead as you absorb their flesh (then maybe endocannibalism rather than eating enemies) and preparing yourself to join the spiritual essence of Sanguinius and your peers.

>>15001758

How about they actually loath cannibalism? Perhaps they see cannibalism/blood drinking as the reason for the Red Thirst/Black Rage and as a result try to distance themselves from it. When a marine (inevitably) falls to either one of the curses, the chapter believes that the marine fell because he obviously fell to temptation and munched on someone behind the rest of the chapter's back.

>>15001471
I think tattoos all over the body, resembling caveman paintings could be cool. Maybe pictures of cannibalism, killing xenos and all that jazz ?
>>15001493
I like that.

>>15001814
that sounds a bit stupid, considering that they constantly watch over each other, especially if they're BA-successors.

>>15001824
ok, then for the name, what about "Quogh" or "Haab" aka "The White Whale"

Had a go at a marine, based on this guy:
(gimped the robe from the old spess mahreen painter)

>>14997033

>>15001897
perfect.
I like the fact that you kept the optics black.

Updated the wiki page to make it fall in line with the other custom chapters.
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Brotherhood_of_the_Megalith

BTW let's get the chapter friends.
Roll 1d100.

rolled 20 = 20

>>15001963

>>15001931

Looking good.

Makes me think... Should we have a page on the wiki dedicated to all these chapters we've made? We're on seven chapters now, not including two chaos warbands and the Emperor's Bears.

>>15001993
They're friends with another chapter.
Which one ? Someone in the thread suggested to make them friends with the Salamanders since they're also alchemists, but it seems our Brotherhood has lost the alchemy in favour for more shamanistic rituals.

>>15002018
Yeah, so, maybe rather the Flesh tearers, but only if we choose to make the Bros' have this >>15001758 attitude towards cannibalism.

or we could keep the sallies if we emphasize the Bros' affinity for stone/minerals that they use to craft unique weapons and armors.

>>15002070

Flesh Tearers probably wouldn't make the best of friends. Namely because they're going to die out in a few hundred years.

>>15002018
a stupid idea: White scars, because AZN?

>>15002113
yeah, so let's keep with sallies, then.

so, our chapter has awesome techpriests who work closely with the chaplains/angakok/whatever to create blessed stone weaponry that's even better than ceramite.

>>15002018
>>15002127

How about they be friends with the Dark Angels or some successor of the DA like the Angels of Absolution? Basis of friendship is some obscure connection between the Unforgiven's Dark Secret and the Brotherhood's esoteric ideas.

>>15002143
That could make sense, on a cultural standpoint. In the early versions, the Dark Angels were less freemasons/teutonic knights, and a bit more american natives. But we have to make this detail relevant.

>>15002166
>But we have to make this detail relevant.

Fair enough. How about this: the chapter's isolated location in the Halo Stars has bled over into their having a profound emphasis on the value of secrecy (in fact, this is why the founder chose this place for the fortress monastery) and the spiritual importance of privacy and the value of voluntary disclosure of information as an act of respect and trust. This leads them to be very discrete in their treatment of other Astartes, including the DA/DA-successors, who trust them (as much as they can anyone) because the Brotherhood once captured a Fallen, a Captain no less, and turned him over to the Unforgiven in stasis without ever having questioned him in any way.

Also, if we are going for tribal here, let's make the Chaplaincy be called "The Lodge" and the Reclusiarch "The Lodgemaster".

>>15002229
okay for the first part, but "lodge" sounds directly like freemason stuff. At least it's esoteric, but it's not very tribal.

we need to find a better equivalent.

>>15002257
>better equivalent

hmmm.

OK, some tribal societies have all male religious groups that are just called "The Men's House" or something similar, since their language is too simple to have umpteen words for a building people live in. How about we have the Chaplaincy be "The House of the Hallowed" and the Reclusiarch be "The High Hallow"?

maybe the High Hall. Would be the last floors of the Megalith. would make a pun with The Hallowed. Not sure, though.

Don't the Dark Angels fucking hate cannibalism though? Pretty sure I remember reading some fluff where they refused to work alongside the Flesh Tearers. I suppose that because of the Fallen hand over, along with the chapter being less "RIP AND TEAR", the DA might like them though.

I can imagine the Brotherhood Dreadnoughts being like metal mammoths; charging the enemy, trampling and crushing them as they go and slashing them with tusks.

>>15002324
Implying savage-cultured cannibalistic close-combat based Blood Angels who use terror tactics are not RIP AND TEAR

>>15002332
>Mammoth Terminators

>>15002390
>Dreadnoughts

>>15002324
sallies, then.

So, what do we have left on the "Do this shit" list:

-Which fighting style do they prefer.
-Name of the Chapter. Done.
-Name of the world.
-Friends of the Chapter. Sallies/Dark Angels?
-Define "Esoteric Beliefs". (Shamanistic is cool in my opinion, but let's try to make them sound not like Space Yiffs.)
-Battle Cry. Done
-Colours of the Chapter. Done?

rolled 52 = 52

>>15002579
Fighting Style should be
Halberds of Power Clubs as someone mentioned

>>15002324
>Don't the Dark Angels fucking hate cannibalism though? Pretty sure I remember reading some fluff where they refused to work alongside the Flesh Tearers. I suppose that because of the Fallen hand over, along with the chapter being less "RIP AND TEAR", the DA might like them though.

Let's just have it that the Bros. are cannibalistic towards Xenos, as a matter of course - eating the heart of a mighty foe is considered a way to ingest his power and knowledge, making man's forces more powerful for the next battle. Humans, however, are only taken if they volunteer - maybe old decorated veterans from the homeworld's PDF often offer themselves when they are too old to fight anymore as a last act of devotion and so their own knowledge and experience will be absorbed by the omphaegea of the Bros. and therefore become one with the doctrine the next generation of PDF trainees receive.

>>15002624

Sounds good to me.

>>15002588
Clubs, halberds, spears, mauls, stone hammers and power claws.

>>15002624
Not sure about eating xenos, but why not. This would be the "dark secret" they share withe the DAs.

But I'm still more inclined towards sallies.
Indeed, to detail a bit more about their beliefs, I suggest: They are each engaged on a quest to ascend to godhood with the Emperor. for them, the world is not "everything has a soul, wolves are our equals...", but quite the opposite. It's all about evolution. primordial forces becoming beasts becoming men becoming marines becoming gods. They are regarded as under-evolved, dammit. By recycling their environment, learning to master it (sculpting stone, carving bones, killing beasts, eating men) they learn to master themselves (hypno-conditionning) and slowly become more than what they were previously. and there we go, 2001 reference, with cannibalism.

The Megalith, being incredibly ancient, durable and unchanging, is to them some sort of anti-emperor that they chose to inhabit, to master and to use, but still revere as a material equivalent of godhood.

works?

>>15002726
okay.

for the homeworld's name, either "Stone" or something Inuit-sounding.

>>15002579
fightan style: well, RIP AND TEAR

>>15002890
CRUSH AND MAUL

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/14994562/

>>15002728
>>15002728
>>15002728
I like this.

Also, Flesh Tearers for allies.

>>15002728

>But I'm still more inclined towards sallies.

Well, there's no reason they can't be bros with two chapters. How about the Sallies being pals with them because they 1.) simply tend to care for civilians more than other Astartes do and 2.) have a fascination with fire as the source of life and warmth in their Chapter cult that makes them naturally interesting to someone who has Vulkan as a gene-father?

>Indeed, to detail a bit more about their beliefs, I suggest: They are each engaged on a quest to ascend to godhood with the Emperor. for them, the world is not "everything has a soul, wolves are our equals...", but quite the opposite. It's all about evolution.

Hrm. That has obvious potential but it sounds almost Chaotic. Warp is all about change and power... Might make a good chapter vulnerability; they can grow blinded to the source of the superhuman power they seek; are they communing with the Emperor through their Primarch Sanguinius or with Tzeentch? On the other hand, if they stay loyal, they get access to some of the faith powers of the Sisters?

>>15002970
But Flesh Tearers are New-Orleans voodoo marines, it doesn't really stick.

>>15002977
okay for both chapters. And sallies like them because they are also engaged in the whole alchemy through blacksmith-ing that I've describes.

Okay for a few of them having fallen to Tzeentch, OR suggestions that they might be Tzeentch-worshippers without knowing it. Not both.

>>15003001
>>15002977
>Tzeentch

Fuck that. If our brothers were to be corrupted, they'd fall to Khorne goddammit. There's no way in fuck they'd prefer sorcerery and mutation over slaughter and blood.

An idea.

Perhaps the daemon our chapter hates so much was a Tzeentchian one, who corrupt a large amount of Brotherhood marines.

>>15003020
>blood angels
>blood=Khorne

no, man, it's not the way it works. the guys from B&CS proved it with the dornian heresy Nurgle Blood Angels, that are better than khornate BAs. But I understand your point, it's simply that it's less relevant.

>>15003029
Or the opposite:

The dude in question, as mentionned earlier, is Skyrar the khornate space yiff, who corrupted some of them earlier. and, as they may or may not rub shoulders with Tzeentch, our guys hate khornate guys, which is ironic

>hipstercaveman

>>15003029
>>15003029
>>15003029
>>15003029
>>15003029
>>15003029

>>15003029
yeah, this.

Too bad it's not about against spehss yiffs, but still.

How about the Mortificators for allies?
http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Mortifactors

>>15003271
Those who have a bone fetish?

that *could* be relevant. Not sure.

>>15003271
this.

maybe the two others a bit less;

>>15003287

Well, they're both cannibalistic. Both have lots of trophies and shit. They're both Feral World chapters who have embraced many aspects of their planet's culture. The Mortifactors are a much older chapter, which could tie into the fluff somehow as well.

Bumping for epic.

Bump.

How about the chapter heraldry? Any ideas?

>>15003881
A saber-tooth's skull.

>>15003881
simple geometric patterns as on the drawings.

>>15003962

Like that shitty proposed flag for Angola?

>>15004001

Just... Ermm... Less shitty?

>>15003881
I vote for the Megalith.

>>15004020

Makes sense.

>>15004020
>>15004012
either of these. either the less shitty drawing, or a square block of dark rock embedded in the pauldron.

We could make the megalith be an important part in their beliefs, maybe the impersonation of the Emperor, or something.

Also, since the the here of the chapter is a battle-brother from the 7th company, how about we name the 7th company the fBlood Bears or the Red Bears ? And maybe have the first two squads of the company be Assault Terminators with dual Lightning Claws ?

>>15004200
sounds like overspecialization

>>15004200
Methinks only the termies in that company should use the name Blood Bears.

Oh yeah, we need a name for the planet as well. Someone mentioned "Stone" earlier, but I'm not a big fan.

>>15004409
Bob.

>>15004431

The infamous, isolated feral world of Bob, where giant razor-backed mammoths roam the frozen plains and every day is a battle to survive for its tribal population.

>>15004470
more like Dod.

>>15004431
You can't name a planet Bob!

How about "Kaneq"? (Means Frost in "Eskimo". Whether its Yukon or Inuit or something else, it didn't say)

"Natquik" might also be good (means drifting snow, again in "Eskimo")

>>15004718
kaneq sounds better.

is the name of the Chapter master decided?

>>15004718
fact: the eskimo do not have a hundred words for "snow". They do, however, have 384 words for "fudge".

>>15004837
>Portal

Get out.

>>15004837

Yeah, stumbled on that little tidbit when I was looking up names.

>>15004825

Nope! We also need a name for the Chapter Master.

>>15004854
>it's popular
>then I hate it


>>15004867
I suggested
>>15001877

For a planet name. Something simple, brutal, and short.

Tusk.

>>15004976

...I like it!

>>15004969

Haab sounds good. How the hell do you pronounce the other one?

How about Saberval or Prehistoria for planet name?

>>15005082
>Prehistoria

>>15004976
We already got enough tusk stuff going on with our tusked termies and mammoth dreadnoughts.

I got it.

Terminators should be based around bears.
Dreadnoughts should be like mammoths.
Scouts wear saber-tooth helms.
Assault teams employ pterodactyl-like jump packs.
Bikes have rhinoceros horns attached to their front.
Chaplains are you typical shaman dudes.
Captains have their own totems based around a certain animal that suits them.

>>15005125
no, too much yiff.

maybe just for a few characters.

>>15005090
>>15005082

that's awfully retarded.

>>15005125
Half of that is awesome and half of that is stupid.

Let's keep the animal stuff at a moderate amount.

>>15005101
Then we havn't got nearly enough to be a proper Blood Angels successor. Tusknauts, Tuskinators, Tuskhammers, and Tusk Raiders.


As for a specific daemon enemy. How about some giant daemon of ice and cold. Fimblwinter, Ice Giants, and similar. Probably a Bloodthirster or similar, whose feet crack the glaciers, and whose breath chills even the hottest flame to nothingness.

>>15005204
thought he was supposed to be tzeentchian?

then it'd be more about fire. Alchemic fire that transmutes matter, turns solid materials into subtle vapors, that distillates liquors, acids and ether as it refines reality itself... Remember that fire, for them, is something far more unusual and noticeable than cold. Good thing they're BA-successors, with all those flamers...

>>15005204

Just because we're a Blood Angels successor doesn't mean we have to emulate or like the Blood Angels. It just means the Brotherhood share the same geneseed and primarch.

>>15005242
Oh I know, I was being silly, Tuskhammers are an innately silly concept.

>>15005273

Tusk is probably a bad idea, now I think about it. Makes me think of Tusken Raiders.

UUUURRRRRRRRRGH URGH URGH

Honestly though, at the moment "Tusk" or "Kaneq" seem to be the best options.

Kaneq. We need Inuit references, even a few ones, for more variety.

>>15005306
HURRR HUUUUUURRR HRONK

>>15005417
Agreed.

>>15005306
>>15005435

okay, how'bout these?

but I'm also okay for the embedded rock.

>>15005644

Took me a while to notice, but holy shit caveman Blood Angel symbol! I like it! Not sure what the other one is though.

bump

the other one doesn't mean shit.

>>15006040

Fair enough. Well, I like the Cave Man BA one myself.

Keeping this thread alive.

So our Chapter Master is Captain Ahab, right? And he sails the stars searching for the Great White Daemon?

>>15006556
More like Queequeg, actually, but as charismatic and sometimes as weird as Ahab.

>>15006610

Chapter Master Haab. Or Quogh (however you say that). Only suggestions thus far. I perfer Haab myself.

>>15006827
Quogh-Haab

>>15006960
they need to be monosyllabic.

But he's the chapter master... not sure.

bump.

we need to update 1d4chan.

still debating the chapter master and the chapter badge, but for the other stuff, we've got informations. Just need to re-shape it.

exclusive bump

>>14994562

I am now watching this thread with great interest. Inuit Marines...fucking win!

My ideas: This is 4chan...how has no one in the power weapon debate said MAN THE HARPOONZ!" Fuck me, imagine fur-clad Jump-pack megaliths flying around a greater daemon, pin-cushioning the fucker with Harpoon CCWs? Then they make Yerts out of the hide.

I like the totem idea...you could do carved or painted pillars on the packs instead of normal banners. In fact, plagiarizing several primitive cultures could be cool for this: Inuit, Mongol, etc.

Rather than tusks...tusks everywhere! how about relegating the beastial shit to heavies, elites and characters and using general tribalware for the brothers? decorative-like...bone armor, coarse woven fabrics...the North American tribes are good for that, as are the more prolific South American tribes.

>>15010589

I'll get to it.

>>15006960

I like it. Still can't pronounce the first one though.

>>15010589

Well, the Abyssal Jaws have already got the harpoon thing going. I suppose there isn't any reason why the chapter can't have them as well though.

>>15011513
maybe the harpoon just for the chapter master, as in this pic:
>>14996211

also, I approve of using slabs as banners.

but still, tusks are cool. But not too much animal names. we need to balance it out.

quogh="kwôg" where the final "g" nearly sounds like "k"

Added to the wiki.

>>15011535

Ah! Cheers.

Also, for all the discussion on totems and units being themed after certain animals, why not do something similar to the Hawkmoon books/RPG, where everyone is divided into Orders based on animal-masks (or in one case, the Order of the Deathface, skulls).

yeah, sounds better. For each company, maybe.

>>15005090
Don't you mean....

....Prehysteria?

>>15011806
nigga...

for the founding, let's say either very recent (like, 39th millenium)
or very fucking old (like, third or fourth founding)

>>15011806

Fucking nostalgia bomb, man.

>>15011943

I believe with the founding, it IS actually unknown. As in, long since forgotten. They could probably believe themselves to be a very early founding or something, but there isn't any sources to back the claim up.

>>15012761
good.

we need to write the fluff properly, then.

>>15012772

I suppose a good start would be fluffing out this chapter hero guy and working out WHY he was assassinated.

>>15013476
He hugged the wrong inquisitor.

Bumping.

>He led his Chapter in glorious battles throughout the galaxy, slaying many of the enemy's champions. In the end, he was killed by an Assassin on the field of battle. Because of this, the Chapter harbors hatred towards the Oficio Assassinorum.

From the wiki page. I believe someone mentioned before that the sniper was a Vindicare. Something Celestial Lion-esque happened, maybe?

>>15013785

The Vindicare shot THROUGH the hero at his target. What is the life one man, even an astartes worth when weighed against the removing a pivotal target?

>>15014089
exactly the kind of dickery that those Solid Snake wannabees would do.

>>15005226
Hey guys here's an idea for the chapter enemy not has thought of yet. it has to be a daemon, right?
Why not make it an Avatar of Khaine they are classed as daemons and are xeno, too. Two birds one stone, yes?

>>15014250
I think that's less good than other explanations we came up with.

still voting for the fire-related Tzeentch daemon.

we have successfully achieved autosage.

will create a new thread soon.

new thread: >>15014422
