I am planning to strip all my Blood angels stuff and will be painting my own custom chapter which is basically a mix of Raven Guard and Blood Angels (Blood Guard, I know I am very creative).

Lets say I use Raven Guard Icons but play a game as Blood angels. Is that something most people would frown upon? I mostly focus on modelling/painting but I want to start playing a lot more once I get my first little group painted. Would it be better to just create my own icon or mash the two chapters together somehow?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thats fine, as long as they aren't exactly the same as the ravenguard its fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/453882/4367844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/453882/4367844.page GMT Custom chapter using another chapters decal?
But honestly I imagine 99% would have no problem with it (especially if we're talking just friendly games) as long as they know what Codex you're playing them as and what the models are supposed to be.

And if you do run across that 1% that might not want to play you simply because your marines are a different color or have a different icon then that's their choice.

So an omega on a blue field (ultramarine), an omega on a red field, and an omega on a red and yellow quartered field all form unique iconography.

In this way a child chapter can pay homage to their roots while still maintaining unique heraldry. And a painter can use pre-existing decals on a different paint job and while maintaining the fluff. Huzzah!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/453882/4368424.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/453882/4368424.page GMT Custom chapter using another chapters decal? GW often say that making up Chapters is part of the hobby. As long as you are clear about which miniatures represent which unit allocation and they are WYSIWYG, you are plain sailing.

There should be NO QUESTION about playing a different coloured Blood Angel army... as long as everything looks how it should but happens to have different icons/colours.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/453882/4368523.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/453882/4368523.page GMT
