I re done the Earth Minbari war for 2nd edition as well but it got rejected.

When Promethion stood from his throne and looked across the hall at his brothers who were deep in thoughts on there reasonings of the ultimatum given to them by the ultramar heralds he spoke with Holy Righteousness "He Who Stand With Me Shall Be My BROTHERS!!! come walk with me to Terra's Golden Throne And We Shall Let Robute And His Hubris Feel what We have lost to him He Will pay for his Bloody Arrogance He has shown me And our brothers To Declare Himself Lord Commander of the Imperium and then to emplace the sanctions of his Codex Astarte's upon us for his own failings To Be beside our immortal father during his greatest struggle REMEBER MY SHIELDS YOU SERVE THE TRUE AND ONLY EMPEROR OF MANKIND we act as One unless we perish alone I am ready to die for him....FOR THE EMPEROR AND FOR MANKIND WE HOLD OUR MIGHTY SHIELDS HIGH AND DRAW OUR BLADES AND BLEED NOT FOR A BLUE DIM WITTED FOOL..Awake our heroes in the vaults raise the local militias load our space fleet with holy and pure men we shall met with dorn for as he has returned and facing the same trails and trivialization the code has offered us.....

Amazing vig! I really like the fluff here!

Are they a fleet based or do they have a homeworld?

They have a home world at the moment as far as i know they do...that is until dark voids comes a knocking :O

*knock-knock*

"Who's there?"

"Inquisition."

"Inquisition who?"

"Inquisition-totally-expected-and-not-spanish. By da way, you're surrounded and Stormtroopers have grav-chuted onto your roof while PAGKs are teleporting into your house. Come out for cleansing, Heretic!"

^_^

Anyway, they're fleet based AFAIK. I suggested it and Tony agreed, I believe. There may well have also been some homeworld/explode in there as well.

Yes void. Fleet based was my preference. That way they can have some crazy stuff happen to their homeworld rendering it uninhabitable/destroyed (thats where you come in vignor ) I love fleet based chapters personally, it gives you crazy freedom fluff wise too.

I was just having a mad idea see if you can convert some for deathwatch.

yeah your mad

Well to skip ahead i was going to have the shields hunt down guilliman when him and his ultramarines and the alpha marines square off against each other and the the shields companies that included dark void and you can only geuss whats going to happen next...

hahaha a good majority of the shields die because of robute being a chicken and retreating up to his ship and bombarding the planet but in the after math poor void becomes tainted by chaos and survives and remains undetected until one day dun dun dun

The Shields Took to the stars in earnest to protest the codex Astarte in the pursuit of of the Lord Commander of the Imperium and they followed pursuit until they found the ultramarines and alpha legion in the galactic east on the planet of Eskrador and upon the planets surface a battle boiled between the forces of Alpha legion And the newly codex sanctioned Ultramarines

I HAVE IDEA!!

it has to do with the city thing again but each city has a comander who is like one of the gods, and hades (being the ahole that he is) refuses to fight robute, but after hearing that he "killed" promethion he gose into beserk rage taking his small company to strike vengance but gets caught in a warpstorm he has to wait a while BUT when they emmerge from the warp he finds out that fulgrim steals his kill he gose REALY REALY REALY RAGE on chaos and during the black crusade hes all like "IMA KILL YOU ABADON" but gets put into a dread cause hes SOOOO OLD and he got shot.

watcha think?

oh and what hapend to my guy?

i think thats a very good idea

READ THIS TONY READ THISSSSSS!

Finally caught up - 14 pages! Like the idea of 300 (3 companies) going off into the Eye of Terror. If you continue with BA, your DC could be representative of this historic group. If not (or alternatively?) - mark 3 companies (maybe 1st, 2nd and 3rd?) specially to represent this part of your history. It wouldn't need to be an event that happens continuously - just a change in style and/or colour to three companies in recognition of the act (a bit like how Deathwing came to be different coloured...). Just a thought

Ive been thinking about something that just hit me...And dont yell at me but i was thinking for one of the special rules to give the shields in the codex there would be the Fearless!!
Rule applied To all units that dont number under 10 models....
And Relentless also maybe...

they could be classed as storm shields?

<(O'o'O)> Okay?

I like this idea! I think this will go into the "for further inspection" pile

So will this one!

If they all had shields couldn't you argue they would relentlessly advance behind their own shields? Therefore Relentless would be a good option!

I like this Grecian/Spartan Influence. Greece or "Helios" Shield or "scutum" or "clypeus" would make for some good names.

"The Hellenic Shields"
"Shields of Helios"
"Marines Hellenic"
"Imperial Clypeus" (Imperial Brazen Shields)
diamond-shaped, shield-bearing : "scutulatus"
shield : scutum
to cover, bury, conceal, hide, protect, shield : "tego, texi, tectum "
to cover, shield, protect, defend : "contego"

this website rocks for Latin Inspiration!

I think maybe new wargear would be more appropriate.

Like, perhaps, "Emperor's Shield" - a piece of wargear that is basically a combat shield that isn't useless and gives a 5++ save (4+ if you really must) for +5-10pts depending on whether it's 5+ or 4+.

These could possibly be company names? ie. BAs third company (or second? ) are "The Blooded."

That is a good idea for the shields Void!

I cant wait for you guys to see the ones BLACKHAND made for me. They are amazing.

I like Mwnciboo And Voids ideas With the "Shields" combat shields saves and the relentless rule and the gladius pattern bolter you could have a steam roller in theory...an elite slot unit idk

Maybe we could have something a la Custodes weapons? Naturally a lot less powerful:

CCW or Powerweapon + Angelus Boltgun equivelant on a pole + shield other arm.

Here's a few Adeptus Custodes miniatures I've found on the web:

I like most of them O.o
Great look for them

Only 3 out of 300 of them fell in the Great Crusade. Their names are eternally etched on the Emperors Breastplate.

And what have these mightiest of mighty warriors somehow been doing for 10,000 years? Sitting on their asses guarding the Emperor that no one is ever going to try and attack in a million zillion years. Atleast, not until the Golden Throne breaks down, killing the Emperor and destroying the Astronomican. This will result in warp travel for the Imperium becoming nigh-impossible, and the denizens of the warp materializing FRIGGIN' EVERYWHERE, DUDE because only the Emperor's psychic might was keeping the brunt of the evilz at bay. Yeah, it ain't looking good for the Imperium.

It is the forty-second millenium, and there is only "oh s%&# we're f*@$ed!"


Lets see the little blue book save 'em now, hehehe..



Oyeah back on topic..
