I would like to hear more about your take on the religion. I want it to be a big part of them but I haven't been able to flesh out the details yet.

Sons of Quetzalcoatl?

The Emperor is referred to as Quetzalcoatl? so basically the Sons of the Emperor.

In Aztec Culture Quetzalcoatl is the creator deity. The Omnissiah is who? lol


Once we have this all done I will officially dub this a Dakka Chapter, giving everyone credit.

Yeah just don't use my name as a captain. Just Use a name of a sword. Like the Bane of Asherain. XD. because someone used my name even though i had a character named Asherian.

Also heres an idea. Green + Blue + Gold = Aztec.

Could name them something to do with the Aztec sun god.

SONS FOR THE SUN GOD!

Ahem....

I'll do some research and get back to you, this is an interesting concept. I second the motion that it should have a fair few psykers in it, but you have already stated your opinion on that.

I agree with you on the Pyskers. They will have a lot of them, I just don't know what role they will play in it.

You could have them believe in the Emperor as god but split into many aspects, each with the form of an animal. Each aspect could have a different style in battle, so goes on different squads. E.g. all fast moving units have markings for 1 animal, while long ranged units go into another category.

Nice Idea,I like it.

Cool idea for a chapter. Looking faward to seeing some painted models!

Thats not a bad Idea, I was thinking about that. But the Animal totems are more a, Hey I like how that creature fights so I am going to Emphasis(spelling lol?) on it.

I am only going to have 3 aspects.

Jaguar, They will be Sternguard veterans. focusing on Close range fire support, Stealth and Infiltration. their Helmet and LEft shoulder pad will be painted like a Jaguar's pelt. I might try and model actual furs onto them as well.

Eagles, They will be Vanguard Veterans. Focusing on quick decisive assaults in close combat. their Helmet and Left Shoulder pad will be Painted white. I am debating using the Forge world Raven guard models to give them so extra Avian features.

Man, these will be your basic Tac Squads. Man because we are the most flexible and persistent. they are basically the Newbies of the Chapter, Scout squads don't exist instead the chapter uses Tac and assault squads mush like Space Wolves use blood claws for training up the newbs. Once they have proven themselves a senior member of the Aspects may take notice and offer them a Position within their order. Most accept this offer, Very few decline wishing to stay within their initial Aspect of Man. Those that stay are moved into Vehicle operation and Devastator squads.

The right Shoulder pad of all Marines will be what ever I deciding is the dominate color with the chapter emblem on it.

Did that make sense?

I will not start on these guys until I get the fluff more "evolved". but probably by the end of the month some test models will be up. Ill use B&C's SMurf Painter this evening and see if I can come up with some themes I like and run them by you guys.


P.S.

On a Side note, if any of you are bored, because for you younger guys its High school break and feel like writing this out with proper gramar and helping me make sense of it I would love the help, I can give you all the notes I have taken so far. only reason I say this is because were on long shifts for the next few weeks.

I just put it in my Que for Netflix

If you want some Idieas for modeling, look for a game called MECHA. It came out in the early 90's and its whole concept was in the next "World" the Gods return to continue thier was using Mecha. Thier is a whole chapter deticated to converting the Robotech Models.

You could paint them like the Claws of Lorek using Asherians colors: Green + Blue + Gold = Aztec.



Talking about the Tiger stripes on the feet.

I think by not having any scouts at all you limit yourself to not being able to use them in the future. So what if you made it that the scouts are all of the apprentices that failed their training but did not die in the process? The veterans for this could be the snakes (or some other sneaky creature) that ensure that the banished failures continue to fight and do not defect.

I had an Idea for incorporating scouts into it later, but Don't take the Scout thing literally.

Their will be NO scouts in the conventional sense.
But
My Chapter may equip Battle brothers with Carapace armor for specific missions.

For Color


I plan on green being the Dominate color with it having blue in it. the above picture is kinda the example. I can't find the real thing. but its a Green beetle that has blue in it. idk what I am getting at lol but thats more or less how i want it to look. But it will be a Flat color not Metalic. also the edges will be in Gold.
