well, here's what i have so far:
Chapter name: Eternal Knights (this one is still in development...i have some minor fluff to accompany it. it's on the verge of corny imho...but it seems rather fitting)
Chapter Badge: n/a yet :/...i'm thinking something real simple, though, because i despise transfers and i dont want to spend bookoos of time on each model free-handing some intricate design on their shoulder pads
Colour Scheme Primary: Chaos Black
Colour Scheme Secondary: Red Gore
Colour Scheme Tertiary: Fortress Grey (i'm starting to think white would do better...but i'm not sure. plus, i hate painting white :x. red gore is hard enough to apply a nice smooth coat...)
Traits: +Take the Fight To Them (-We Stand Alone)
Points: >2000 atm; that is of minis i have assembled. i still have numerous boxes of parts to stick together
Gene Seed Info: i'm thinking something from the imperial fists or another generic chapter....yeah i know, i have no imagination
Founding: havent even thought about this tbh
random
experimental fluff: their homeworld is located on the moon of a barren planet, but unfortunately the moon is almost always blocked from sunlight, consequently remaining in near pitch darkness for the majority of its existance.
coincidentally, due to a "flaw" in their geneseed, marines of the Eternal Knights are subject to lifespans considerably longer than average.
so yeah...their homeworld is in "eternal night", and they are "[somewhat] eternal knights".....yeah har har
:shifty:
but i'm not sure if the eternal night planet thing would work because i dont know a whole lot about the science of planetary orbits....and i'm not sure if the long lifespan thing is too far-fetched or not. i want a unique chapter, but i dont want to step on any toes while i'm at it, ya know?
anyway, if it isnt obvious already, i'm thinking of a guerilla-style tactica for my army. i debated taking "See, But Don't Be Seen" as a trait, but i didnt want to take any of the major drawbacks :/ (given i wanted to take TTFTT in the first place...). these guys supposedly live in nearly eternal darkness, so they have to be sneaky ninjas.
but to expand on this idea, i sort of thought about having a tactica that surrounds "terror tactics". like....wearing down the enemy with loads of ordinance fire first, which would be pretty dang scary if you ask me, then making a big bloody assault on the remaining demoralized enemy forces. how's that sound?
having a purely assaulty army would not fit me at all. i like to be flexible...so a good mix between assaulty and shooty would do me well.
so yeah....as you can see, i havent really gotten a whole lot done when it comes to fluff of my custom army. but i'm pretty happy with the paint scheme atm, so i'll continue on with it. i'll continue to ponder fluff ideas as i go.
i envy you guys with all the intricate fluff ;P
not sure if you intended this as a "gimme C&C plz" thread, serpelio, but i
would appreciate any help or ideas.
@ironfather0: the fast swimming thing is interesting, but wouldnt that only apply to scouts? how would swimming work in a space marine's power armor?
