Now this is one of those things where, fluffwise, marines aren't 100% self sufficient, like, their 3000 crew or whatever battle barges don't fly themselves, and it's not all mindless servitors.
The Gothic rules for space marines even imply that their serfs do some fighting and one would think that even the less industrialized recruitment worlds would maintain a small defense garrison.

So basically, I want to make these guard models looks like they work for the chapter, but I feel like I shouldn't just give them the full Blood Angel insignia , since they're not Blood Angels.

Has anyone else done something like this? Modeled guard to go along with your marines? How did you go about doing it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4612679.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4612679.page GMT http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog.jsp?pid=2800044-gws

You could just use the colour scheme without any insignia.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4613095.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4613095.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4613146.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4613146.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4615382.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4615382.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4617237.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4617237.page GMT
Blood drop theme would totally fit still.

Now, if you have guys with no helmets on you should make sure to model them all gnarly and mutated, Baal is full of freaky rad-waste mutants.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4618269.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4618269.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4618283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4618283.page GMT IIRC Baal is a Mad Max/Fallout style post-nuke deathworld with the surviving inhabitants roaming the planet in ramshackle vehicles and radsuits made from whatever is available. So while I don't see them having a formal PDF like Parson's Macragge PDF (though you could certainly model them as such if you wish, though expect flak from fanboys), I do think that you could do some really cool conversions based around Ork vehicle components and other materials like Pig Iron Kolony bitz that would fit the part well.If you want to stick to official bitz, Forge World's chaos renegade militia conversion kits look spot-on and would only need the chaos icons removed/filled in.

More on original topic, the scavenger "tribe" that raised Sanguinious were called "The Folk of the Pure Blood" or simply "The Blood" so it's a good bet Sangy borrowed the blood drop design from them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4621441.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4621441.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4629016.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4629016.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4629152.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4629152.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4629168.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467535/4629168.page GMT
