Now, As they will be part of the Imperium they are not "Goody two-shoes"

Now i know of several already set in stone chapter's but I like making my own thing's

Hence my Chaos Warband and Etc, though Element's of the actual EC are in it, not every last one is a EC

Basically, Their from a Feral world (Fenris Attila Kaledon) but have very feral characterstic's Fang's hairy all that good stuff, but on contrast of animal pelt's like the Wolves they put spikes and "Trophys" from fallen enemy's they are fiercely agressive and care little for outsider's. Only calling upon the Emperor in front of their Allies.

So far i'm thinking this is sorta like Space Wolves or Pre-heresy World Eater's

Their not very nice space marine's

**Emperors Faithful**

Not a bad idea, certainly would fit within the bounds of loyalist chapters. Perhaps they never forgot thier tribal upbringing? It would probably lead to conflict as they strain against the yoke that is the Codex: Astartes.

**Shadowbrand**

Yes, and they are often mistaken for Chaos Marine's *Horns on head's* not corruption's though legit barbarian Trophy's

Think the project will wait till Wolves come out.

**Sanchez01**

kinda like the soul drinkers but still apart of the imperium?

**Shadowbrand**

Never heard of the Soul Drinker's

**penut the butter**

soul drinkers are space marines who left the Imperium because they think it is corrupt. They still fight for the Emperor. They are still counted as renegades even though they still fight for mankind.

**Emperors Faithful**

No, they are not 'technically' renegades, but more than a few inquisitors are starting to mobilise against them.
...I think. Mabye I'm confusing them with Flesh Tearers? (A BA sucessor chapter)

**Shadowbrand**

The "Metal Angel's"

or the "Skull Reaver's"

**Emperors Faithful**

Ooooooh! We doing names now? *clap hands*
I like "Skull Reavers", that's a good one. 'Metal angels' sounds like a wannabe metal band. (Just being honest)

**penut the butter**

EF. I know that they are not "techncally" renegades. But that is how the Imperium sees anyone(human)that is not part of the Empire

**Sanchez01**

they are excommunicated... I have only read the 1st book, never had time for the others

**Emperors Faithful**

OMG, sorry, had the wrong chapter. I didn't know we were talking about the book. I was thinking about Flesh Tearers (crazy, bloodthirsty BA successor chapter...kills any Inquisitorial investigators)

**Sanchez01**

I love BA chapters, so wrong and yet so satisfying

**Emperors Faithful**

Oi!
Watch it, mate!
Them's fighting words!

**Shadowbrand**

Now a name for a Chapter master, although because I only really got the basics for the EC set down, Don't non-codex armies like this have more member's and alternate leader's from Captain's, Chapter Master's Like Marshal's for Black Templar?

I'm going into uncharted water's here so i need people that know what their talking about

**Emperors Faithful**

Ragnar?
Kull?
Conan? lol (serisously though...don't even think about it)

Should be something gruff, and suitably barabaric.

**Sanchez01**

Fighting words? But I love them too. Thats Why they are one of my 3 space marine armies

**Shadowbrand**

Hmm

Thane

Jarl

Hersir

Few Norse Name's why not.......

Huskarl or Goth, no not goth

**Emperors Faithful**

Mr. Boombastic?

-Tuskan
-Torjan
-Felkan
-Zortan (lot of an's)

**Shadowbrand**

You know i really like the Conan comic's the movie's alright too

Terminator's a better one by arnie 1,2 are the best

**Emperors Faithful**

*BLAM*
I TOLD you not to even think about it.

**Shadowbrand**

I have to say i'm going with Huskarl

Tommorow i can read over the SM codex as well as the Black Templar one, and i have to Dark Angel's one

Huskarl has to rape in CC seeing as their feral

and his name

Huskarl Dragonblood? or Skorne

Wait Skorne, I know that name from somewhere.

Can't call him Shadowbrand, names taken for my EC Lord/Daemon Prince

**Emperors Faithful**

Shadowbrands too dark anyway.
You want him to be gruff and savage, not downright EVIL.

Huskarl is good. Perhaps Huskarl Hellhammer? Hammerhand? (It would be a great excuse to give him a thunder hammer)

**Sanchez01**

hellhammer and hammerhand sound Tau-ish...

**Emperors Faithful**

No they don't. Since when do Tau use hammers?

**Shadowbrand**

Hellhammer = a Very hard core Drummer

You have reminded me i need to be familar with loyalist weaponary.

Assault Cannon's and Drop pods!!!!!!!

and i want one of them Are's Land Raider's

"For the Emper... DRAGON BLOOD GUIDE MY AXE!"

yes some will have chainaxe's

**Sanchez01**

It just reminds me of the Tau Hammerhead... Huskarl is great! Skorne sounds great too.... Huskarl Skorne sounds like a man I would not want to mess with.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

EDIT beaten to the punch

**Emperors Faithful**

No problemo, also, the Assualt Squad kit has a few power axes, so that could be more useful than the average sword. (more barbaric)

Automatically Appended Next Post:
wait, just checked, only one power axe.

**Shadowbrand**

well reading over the Angel's codex i'm impressed with the Thunderhammer, and a Hammer is a very norse touch,

with this dex they could be a effective biker army or "Deathwing"

but I honestly just picture Spikey drop pod's falling down, and these Marine's clad in runes, pelt's and armed to the teeth, beating back Nid's, Ork's

i'm gonna like working Dreadnaught's too

Just feel's werid without Noise Marine's and the Defiler
