Well, i've turned to the dark side, I'm playing space marines. I have a few white scars painted up that are curently soaking in simple green. Why, you ask? Because I want to play a different chapter.
So what is this thread about?
Well, i dont want to play a first founding chapter, because that is very common and I dont like most of them.
I don't want to play a famous later founding chapter, like the Black Templars or the Red Scorpions.
And I don't want to make my own chapter. Because I'm not that creative.

I want to play somebody else's homegrown chapter!
So, post in this thread if you would be happy to know there's another Disco Rhinos player out there. Tell me a little bit about your chapter, their color scheme, their tactics, etc.

Oh, and you have to play the chapter yourself. Pictures of minis are preferred, but I'll take your word for it unless it's obviously a joke chapter.

Research Angry marines and then enjoy =D

What? You should totally play Ultramarines, because they are the bestest spase mariens who all kild a millun bilon carnifexes in clows combet wit theyre bear hands.

My "Knights Sovereign" SMs play as Blood Angels, with lots of Jump Pack infantry to do something different from all of the blue marines out there.

Color scheme is neutral grey with black shoulder pad fields, and little bright red detalis, so it's fairly easy to paint. Veterans and Sergeants have white helmets, while Veterans are further distinguished with white shoulder rims.

Modeling is late Heresy-era mk.6 "Beakie" armor.

I dont have any pic ready yet but heres a rundown of the chapter

Starting with its Color

the vehicles of the chapter are decorated with all sorts of tribal and clan and ruin like markings. Ill have a example up shortly

Chapter Name His Wrathful Gaze

Founding 21st

Mutations: Strange (some times random) Skin Pigmentation To the Extreme
Their eyes glow in a bright red
They are brains are distorted and can easily provoke a state of shock or panic or extreme anger at any time when lacking brain stimulation in the form of extreme violence and destruction towards the enemy when in way.
And They lack nerve endings near the skin which enables then to feel less to no pain

Planet: Destroyed by tyranid hive fleet behemoth

Homeworld Demise: As the battle companies and the first company each were on their crusades on the systems many ork planets. The remaining companies were left defending the planet from the constant ork invasions and eliminating the threat of feral orks on the planet. Hive fleet behemoth was lurking nearby. As the main companies attacked the orks threat in the far sides of the system, hive fleet behemoth was preparing a strike on the chapters homeworld. As the first spores dropped and as small genestealers stalked the planet the chapter was already preparing for the attack, companies 1 and the all but 1 battle company began their withdraw from the ork planets and set a course back to their homeworld. As the spores dropped and the invasion began to take shape, the defending companies were quick to prepare for the attack. Day 40 the gaunts wouldn't stop coming their fortress was already nearly destroyed. The reinforcements were approximately coming in 50 days. Day 60 reserve companies 7 was nearly wiped out and 8 and 9 have drop haft in strength. 30 days until companies 1,2,4 and 5 make it to the planet. Emergency has been called and a snigle has been sent to the nearest ally chapters. Day 80 Reserve companies 5 and 8 have been completely destroyed. Bio-titans have been sent to the planet and the planets moon has been sucked dry. Companies 6,7,9 are nearly gone and company 10 has lost a quarter of their former strength. Day 85 the planets vital resources are nearly depleted and company 6,7,9 have been destroyed. Day 87 the planet has lost contact with the rest of the planets and company 10 has been destroyed and life on the planet has been eaten by ripper swarms. Day 89 One day until reinforcements arrive, all contact with the planet has been lost and hive fleet behemoth has been sighted retreating from the planet. Day 92 All the reinforcements have arrived and reported the death of their planet and its incapably to hold life.

Recruitment: Underground rebels or gangsters or criminals found in the hive planets they happen to orbit

Chapter Organization: Clans of a 50-100 marines of so each
Each Clan is completely self sufficient for its self and disconnected from one another unless its vital then they work together
Each Clan is has its own ways of battle but still all fallow the same beliefs

Chapters Training methods: Before the men even become scouts they are dropped into a death world for 3 months with minimal supplies tasked with simply surviving. The men that do live will be granted their implants and scout armor. A scout will then be sent directly into a battle with its fellow scouts preforming front line duty's and infiltration duty's. Until each scout kill count reaches
a hundred. Then they may be able to equip the battle armor and join up with the rest of the brothers. Until then they have almost no interaction with a battle brother out side of training.

Extra: The Chapter are currently untrusted by the inquisition and many of the other space marine chapters for its unique ways. If the inquisition smell even a wiff of corruption its attack would be quick and relentless. Before their home world was crushed by the tyranids it was a great forge world sending out thousands of war machines but when it fell so did the chapters only source of vehicles. All the vehicles left are extremely battle torn and old. What ever is left are constantly being repaired and blessed by the chapters remaining techprest. Each clan has its own battle barge which is each clans base of operation.

Chapters Beliefs: After the events of on their home world the remaining marines split up into smaller companys known as clans. Each clan has its own name based of their clan masters personality. The clan systems makes the chapter a extremely loose organization.
The one thing they all have in common anger but unlike the extreme madness of the angry marines they have extreme controlled madness. Controlled by using tools and methods to cause the most destruction and pain possible to the enemy. There most used weapons are power hammers and melta weapons and flamers and vindicators because they are the most destructive weapons that they can use. They are also very familiar with terror tactics and will often send troops in from all sides of the battle field. All this mayhem is very important for the chapter because with out it the marine will experience states of intense terror and shock in the mist of battle or extreme anger when not in battle. The extreme anger would often reinforce violence between brothers forcing a battle from the inside of the clan capable of sending the clan to do battle with it self. They are constantly being charged with the need to avenge the death of their chapter but crushed by the fact that they to know that they can never defeat the tyranids. Come Where ever the battle is thickness to train themselves against imposable odds for the day they face the most imposable war ever. The eradication of the tyranid race. They have absolute hatred against any kind of xeno that any human that interacts with the a xeno in a war like behavior are instantly enemy's of the chapter no mater who it was that interacted and what ever army they have. For their chapter, indeed the imperium to survive, all xeno scum shall be purged from the imperium and beyond, anyone who associates with xenos are traitors and must be annhilated at all costs. This belief is reflected in combat, where they would rather die than see any xenos escape.

Mottos: Vengance Shall Be Ours!
We Fear No Evil, Evil Fears Us!

Symbol: i dont have a drawn version of it yet but it looks like this A skull emblazoned over crossed swords

ILL PUT UP THE REST SOON JUST PM ME IF YOU HAVE ANY EXTRA IDEAS

join the Aurora Chapter.

known for mechanized assaults, the chapter has 3x the predators and land raiders of any other chapters... its an official codex chapter (has a brief mention in codex SM)...

they look a bit like salamanders, but don't have lame ass rules that make them overpowered.

GW also makes molded metal shoulder pads, so its a bit easier to model them.

No Cheesey! We need no more Ultramarine players! And I heard it was two million billion carnifexes. Using one toe.

Anyway, my pitch for my newly raised chapter "the Sanctified"

Dark angels succsessor.
Led by interragator chaplains or the master of the second company.
Heavy on close assualt and bikers.
Colour scheme-Dark reds with areas of black. Veterans have bone helmet stripes. No pictures unfortunately, but it looks like the marine in the picture.

Homeworld: Corpulous prime-A death world in the eastern fringe, currently beset by the zombie plague. The majority of recruits for the chapter come from the planets capital and only city, Tarqan. Recruits are usually chosen from the toughest members of gangs, although many come from the people who dare to make their homes on the jungle floors.

Current strength-unknown.

Founding: 8th.

Training methods: Recruits are set against each other in a race from the edge of the jungles to the capital, armed only with a bolt pistol containig ten bullets, a combat knife, flak armour, and a book containing litanities. Any who survive, and bring the book with them, will be inducted into the chapter.

Organistion: The chapter differs from others by leading it's companys with Interragator chaplains. Each company also has a master, who will only take to the battlefield in dire circumstances. however, masters do not nessercarily lead their designated company's. The second company master is currently the most active, explaining the large numbers of bikes the chapter fields. The Sanctified also are a very pious chapter, and will spend a lot of the time in prayer to the Emperor. They also seek to crush the opposition in close combat, rather than shooting them down from afar.

Quirks and odditys-The Sanctified have only one Librarian, named Kauron. The reasons for this are not known.
Although a chapter is a Dark angels sucessor, the two chapters have very little contact and the Sanctified do not consier themselves part of the 'Unforgiven'.
The current chapter master goes by the name of Mohriar krax. He is usually seen wearing terminator armour, as it is customary that the master of the chapter is also master of the first company.

Battle cry: Our name is legion, Our number is death!
Emperor pity my foe, for I shall not!

Symbol-A flaming chalice with a sword plunged through it.

Play Space Wolves. I know they are First Founding, but play them anyway.

Why?
This:
And if that wasn't enough awesomesauce for you (You strange person):

No Second Founding Chapter come close

Waitaminute, waitaminute...Space wolves are pimps?

Little lord Fauntleroy wrote:Waitaminute, waitaminute...Space wolves are pimps?

Immortal Werewolf Viking Space Pimps!

Space puppies are too mainstream. Spray paint your marines yellow, add red to taste, and scrawl obscenities all over those bad boys. Then, start making up suitably ridiculous counts as rules for the Angry Marines using the new SW codex. I'm looking forward to the "Saga of saga's sagas", the paired powerbats, and am desperately seeking a suitable stand in for the hallowed 'Adamantine Sack of Power Doorknobs'.

ALWAYS ANGRY!
ALL THE TIME!

You just came up with your own chapter then. Choose what colours you like, then enjoy your new chapter; Disco Rhinos.

Gwar! were did you find that pic?

Somewhere on Dakka. Lunahound posted it up I think.

Its my avatar now it rocks

Play my chapter, the vigilant, who are a chapter closely tied with the inquisition. No minis yet, i'm workin on it.

Note: Command replaces all white with gold.

Consider using lysander's "fist of dorn"

Well, if you don't want first founding, I say go with Crimson Fists. Veteran-heavy fluff, a kind of "last stand" dynamic, and a pretty simple yet striking colorscheme.

Play the rainbow warriors, they are a fast striking hard hitting chapter that is painted every color of the rainbow in bands running parallel to the ground.
no... unfortunately i'm not joking... there's pics somewhere on dakka...

Well, my chapter is the Crimson paladins and they are in the codex, just on the star charte, and your should only play this chapter if you like to create your own fluff about your army, but the colors, well at least the ones I use, is red eith a blue trim, but others prefer to use a checkered Gold, red color.

Play a blood angels based later-founding.

AND YOU GET FREE COOKIES

You get to feel awsome while eating cookies baked by battle sisters themselves. Do you need any other reason?

Currently, I play Death Wing.
I like playing Terminators due to their good armor and decent weapons.
They can move and fire, that's awesome.

Please, don't play my chapter. I know that Gwar! has been highlighting the glories that are inherent in all Space Wolf Companies. Yet, heed my words. Such glories will be tarnished by the multitudes clinging to our pelts in the hope of some of our fame. I say, let them stand on their own in their unpainted power armor. Let them paint themselves with the blood of the fallen. Then, might they be worthy to join the Sons of Russ as allies.

I couldn't agree more. You see my plan was for the sheer awesomeness to drive him away

Do something interesting and play Loyalist Alpha Legion

Everyone who plays Alpha Legion plays Loyalist Alpha Legion

Play Pre heresy Death Guard. No Painting Required

That picture just became my new desktop background

Rainbow warriors are actually blue with a rainbow stripe shoulder pad icon.

I'll include some shots of my scheme when I get home and thus have some of my Spehzz M-hurr-inez available for photo sessions

PM you the fluff though. I'd rather not clog up the forum with a ginormous post

My guys are inspired by the latest Codex:Sm. Their name is "Tears of the Emperor" and they're a descendant/replacement chapter for the Astral Knights, who have fallen in the battle with the World Engine. Nearly all of them have been wiped out, and the ones left have been tasked with rebuilding the chapter. Because their fortress monastery was given away to Sable Swords, however, they are a fleet chapter now. They have lost their recruiting worlds, but for the time being various Chapter Masters, among them Calgar, Lord of Macragge, have promised to send the Tears some recruits, as a way of repaying the debt they have with the Astral Knights. Tellion has been sent to help out with recruit training. Other Marine Chapters who have taken part in the battle against the Necron that day also promised their help, be it logistical, manpower, or equipment.

The Tears hate the Necron above all other Xenos. They mostly utilise infantry, as their vehicles have been passed down. Recently I've started introducing Inquisition/Deathwatch elements into the army, and am thinking of painting an Inquisitorial Stormtrooper squad along with some Grey Knights.

1st Company and most of the Sergeants/Officers of the 2nd company are these members of Astral Knights who have survived. This explains their difference in Heraldry and colours.

The standard Tac Marine of the 2nd company wears a blue armour with silver trim on the chest and white on his pads. Jade Green is used for eyes. Sergeants go helmetless.

The veterans of the 1st company are all members of the Astral Knights and they honour their old Chapter by using Astral Knights colours(also invented from scratch) halved blue/white, with silver chest trim and pads being of opposite colour than the side's half.

The motto of the chapter is: "Animus" which is latin for memory. They want to honour the memory of those who have fallen so that others may live.





These pictures are old, but I seem to have misplaced my camera. I'll try to post some more later.



The army uses the Blood Angels drop as its symbol. It's a teard drop, hence the name. Those who have served as Astral Knights before use the different symbol.



It's nothing special, but I like it.
