Unit markers?

They're not hard to do. Just do an alternative paint stripe or something like "warpaint" on the helms.

Yeah but all my veteran compaines have a certain type of helmet. I was thinking like mark 2 armor. As it seems that these squads are suppose too look like they have been in the SC for a long time.

Also ahead I have started to make new Lore. About the Crusading Parts of the Chapter. While i was gone for a week, I also read thousand Sons. Which I liked except that Ahriman Could bend someones soul O.o.
Anyway It inspired me to write and make some Librarians. As it seems that I completely forgot about them.

So far I'm planning on getting some green stuff and Some Sanguinary guard and Death Company for items to use as force weapons. Anyway I will also put a vote up to see if one of these 5 things will happen to Asherian.

1- He is not Asherian but a Alien\Traitor Human. Storm Crusaders find out about it and start a civil war on Drancoris. Storm Crusaders have a new symbol.

2- He is a Primarch and survives Wars and brings the Storm Crusaders into a New age of progression. Storm Crusaders have a new symbol.

3- He Dies in combat and is found to be Malnar and Calnor Becomes the Supreme Grand Commander. And they discover a Flaw. And find they are descended from the Blood Angels. At that Asherian was Sangunius. Storm Crusaders have a new symbol.

4-The Chapter Breaks apart and Asherian dies of heart Attack- (This is a joke.) Storm Crusaders have a new symbol.

5- It turns out to Be Malnar. And Leads the Storm Crusaders into a new era of progression. Storm Crusaders have a new symbol.

Note: In all of these the Storm Crusaders will get the Symbol of the Raven with symbol of the Crusader in One.

Vote for which one! Because I am stumped.

Also I have been offically added to Chapter 1,000! My chapter is now the 901st Chapter to be added!

Alpha Squadron
Alpha Squadron is organized into 5 man squads. Each squad is given a specefic funtiction as such each squad must peform tasks assigned too them by a specific Grand Guardian. Each Alpha Squad is moblizied in different compainies and are given certain weapons for their jobs. Each Squad is also given a specific name and Target of interest. Each member that survives the Alpha Squadron Trials become captains after the trails are completed. There are 30 squads in total. But only 20 are active at one time. The 10 other squads are kept with the Grand Templars. Each Alpha Squadron Leader is also given a specific duty in the chapter. And are also told of the secrets of the chapter. Many Librarians are joint into Alpha Squads as acting as seers and powerful aids against demons. Librarians are joint to these squads for extended periods. Each squad member when he joins the Alpha Squadron Abandons all names and titles until the trails are finished. But the most famous Alpha Squads is the Squad Calnor Alrnia, Malick Tori, Val Yoal, Mortis "Wolf", Garane Oron, and Talick Tori, are one of the most legendary squads of the alpha squadron.


Alrighty i will be writing a story very soon. So if you want to edit and help with it. Its called Iron Stone.
Calnor and his Honor Guard stood at the front of a massive Golden door. Calnor Smilied and his Honor Guard followed his stride. Calnor Walked towards the Massive Golden doors. His body striding with unmatched proficiency. The Doors slid open with a thud as he walked in unopposed. The Chamber was huge, the room was large enough to hold a Warhound unheeded. Calnor stopped and knelled before the 5 Council members. The 5 Council Members were solid and wonders to behold, any normal man would of faltered. But Not Calnor. These Men these Space Marines were his Brothers. Calnor knew each one of them. The Hawk Helmed Warrior held a Double Bladed Spear, Another Had a Crusader Helmet and held Two Swords both identical to each other, each echoing of power. The Next Member held a single sword but his Helmet echoed his Authority, His should pad labbed him as Grand Commander Malnar. The Next held Two lightning claws all rippling with power and his beaked helmet was that of a raven, Majestic and Fearsome at the same time. The Next Held a Hammer with a single hand, unlike his brethren he didn't wear an elaborate helmet, it was simple and fearsome at the same time.
"Stand Calnor Alrnia." Ordered the Council member with the Hawk Helm.
Calnor Stood. His eyes adjusting to the Dark room.
"Council? Why have you called me here?" Calnor Asked.
"We have called you here to tell of a new Campagin, Alrnia. You are to leave with Four Compainies of your choosing and your Honor Guard." Told Malnar. His voice commanding and that of a General.
Calnor winced at the mention of his last name and of a new Campaign.
"Where must I go?" Calnor gingerly asked, he rolled his eyes towards the Double Speared Council Member.
The Hawk Helmed Warrior laughed. "Calnor, I am your friend but this is dire, you must go to the Griminar System."
Calnor eyes opened at the mention of the Griminar System.
"Calnor its been a while since you been there eh? Hell i was with you there!"
Calnor shook off the memories. And looked at his Friend. "Val, Why must I go?"
The Hawked Helmed Warrior who was identified as Val spoke with fierce hate in his voice. "Inquisitor Lord Cortez Requests it." His words were spat like poison.
The other three Council members knew of why he's hate for this inquisitor but they did not speak.
Calnor looked at the beaked marine and asked. "Why can't you go with me Naroth?"
Naroth winced as his name was called. His eyes darted down. Even through his helmet Calnor knew that Naroth regretted being here.
"Why must I go without my Brothers in arms?"
The Warrior with the two swords spoke. "Calnor I do not wish this either. But Inquisitor Cortez requested it. And it must be done!"
Calnor looked up. "But Kalin its our choice as a chapter to decide it!"
Kalin Laughed. "Calnor, we cannot disagree with an Inquisitor or else it is called heresy!"
The Last Council Member looked up and nodded. His hammer swung to the ground making a huge bang against the Marble. "Calnor, I hate the bastard more than you! But we must abide or else he'll get rid of our chapter, and exspell our Secrets!"
Calnor laughed. His eyes meet the Last Council Member. "I know Talick you don't need to repeat exactly what Kalin said."
Talick spat. "Don't Mock me boy!"
Calnor Stood up and bowed. "I will take the companies to the Grimnar system. I shall gather the 1st, 2nd, 10th and 22nd companies to join me."
(Ok updated with new lore. What yah guys think )

In order to save money and not spend $765 on a Thunderhawk gunship. I was thinking of converting my Republic Gunship from starwars into a Thunder Hawk Transport!

Heres what it looks like.
I'm planning on buying some bits from the Baneblade and adding it to the Thunderhawk to give it a good enough amount of weapons to follow the Thunderhawk rules. Not only that but it can acutally hold a land raider! Or 30 marines. Unlike its bulky cousin! I was wondering if anyone has tried this?
Not only that but i'm going to shave off anything i don't like the bottom pointy things are no go. So they are going. Ok. Why is no one commenting -.- Fail.

What company made that model?

Uhh. I forgot. But already have the thing. Its been like 5 years since i bought it. But i think its gone from the market.

Ok so what kit should i take. The baneblade or the Terminus conversion kit?
I need help on this one.

This painting stuff blew my mind!

I'm not an Iduiot its just that it would be great if I could tell the differnence its not like they are the same its just that I have too many on the field nowadays.

I use squad markings. I also mark the underside of the base to match squads up. Like writing 21A on the underside. They belong to the 21st company, first squad. Not hard to do mate.

With nothing good to add. I came across little hitler.

good job on these guys, as for everyone saying I has just grey knights look into the background a bit more and you'll find they also have the exorcists

Thats awesome dude!
Well anyway thunderhawk parts are hard to find!
I will keep looking until i find more parts and more paints. As i only have 40 paints that are all from 4th edition

mayebe you can paint a little lichtning under their right eye or a tear will also work out i did it whit mine and i looks great

Yeah i started doing that.

I have sad news! I accidently dropped my 10th company box. And they all fell down the stairs :*(. SO now i am spending my time rebuilding everything.

Personally, a chapter that has over 6000 marines in it gets a big thumbs-down from me...

Otherwise, I love the detail with which you're going into it and how you're really making it 'your own'.

I understand. But i have something for you that will get rid of the only one thing that you hate. I am bringing the Storm Crusaders and splitting them in half. The Crusaders gene pool is no longer recognizable to their cousins. Interesting story behind it too XD.

Also the Chapter has 3,000. Now. That I am focusing on. But it doesn't mean that I won't play the other 3,000 crusaders.
So basically the New chapter is called the Storm Jackals and the other which I am focusing on is the Storm Crusaders, who has Calnor Alrnia, etc.

show off some pics of your latest paintin'

Joske De Veteraan wrote:show off some pics of your latest paintin'

I second that

Two chapters of 3,000 is still just too big. I could see one "chapter" of 3k flying under the radar, but more than that and it gets a bit incredible. The Black Templars are somewhat remarkable in that not only do they have "more" than 1,000 marines, but that they've been able to fudge the books for so long and get away with it.

Honestly, I think you'd have a lot more fun if you just split out your 6k marines into 6 unique chapters and created some brand new star cluster in Segmentum Obscuras or on the Galactic Fringe that they all share dominion over. That'd give you a lot of background opportunity with interplay between your chapters and it would be much more *reasonable* from a canon perspective. I think that a whole new interstellar dominion is far more interesting than 'ONE MOAR HUMUNGUS SPEZ MAREENZ PLANET' floating around.

Agreed, a 6K chapter is faaaar too much. 1500 I could believe. The BT only get away with Legion strength because they're split into several Crusade fleets numbering anywhere from 100 marines to 1000.

Like Sourclams said, split them into 6 different chapters, and just do a Joint Task Force or something.
