We need some help we recently picked iup the Indomitus box set. And we're trying to figure how to paint them. We're somewhat stuck on the Chapter Badge Iconography and what parent chapter they got their gene seed from. It's a toss up between White Scars, Black Templar and the Blood Angels.
Some of the stuff we have already for units are land raider crusader, About 5 drop pods, and two land speeders we have a metric ton of short marines that we're probably not going to use except for swapping helmets. We have rhinos and razor backs but we're going to replace them true scale variants with a 3D printer and some plasti-card/ green-stuff and one vindicator tank.
We also have a bunch of terminators we're not sure if we're going to use given how small they look next to the Primaris We plan to get more Primaris to count as old marines swapping helmets and sticking them in the true scale rhinos and razor backs so that we can use more chain swords. Our goal is to have a very combat oriented army that just gets in your face but can still hold a point. So Which Parent chapters rules would go best for 9th edition.
Here is the color scheme below. We've named the chapter Tyrant Star Kings. And we need some help picking a chapter badge/symbol back story and iconography. As you can see below we have a quartered scheme with the idea of replacing the orange with blue for the Sgts so the squads will be that color but the Sgts will have variations in blue.
We also plan to not make the chapter very codex compliant so we're planning on using a wide variety of personal heraldry for the space knights. We also want to make it looks as medieval as possible. We plan to do a bunch of modding with a 3D printer, and use a lot of grey knight helmets, add heater style shields, flails as power weapons, axes, halberds and of course long swords, and hammers.
Well thanks for the help let me know what you guys come up with. We might even add a lance or two for the bikes.
Oh and shameless Plug check out some of our 3D designs here.
