In C:SM in the fluff part it describes a battle between several space marine chapters and a necron
world engine, which annoyingly keeps destroying worlds .
During this battle the astral knights chapter does a suicide assault by smashing
their battle barge through the shields because nothing else would work, they then drop pod to the surface.
and then like the movie marines that they are they kill several billion 'crons before taking down the
shields in a final sacrificial explosion.


In any case I kinda liked their fluff and I was thinking about including a squad of them in my army
(apparently about 233 marines were not there so they were spread around other chapters)

so my question is what color(s) do you associate with the astral knights?

or what color combos do you think would look cool
(keep in mind the rest of my army is mostly black and white with a little red).

For a minute there i was gonna suggest the blue and silver sceme.. but then i remember thats astral CLAWS. >_<
Having searched a few sites i remember having schemes for a lot of chapters.. i couldn't find that one. Damn fluff-only chapters

I always thought they looked like the Iron Knights with a little difference.

I want to make a diorama of the memorial for them

Oh well thanks anyway, i just liked their fluff.
