Only there is a problem. A Chapter Trapping is one of the pieces of starting equipment for every chapter... and Honour the Chapter, the book with the Minotaurs in them, doesn't have any for them.

I am struggling to come up with a fluffy thing I could use for a chapter trapping, any ideas Dakka?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564810.page GMT Minotaur Chapter Trappings? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564826.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564826.page GMT Minotaur Chapter Trappings? Tac Marine are sort of entirely separate attributes from chapter trappings.

An example of a chapter trapping is something like the tabard of a Black Templar or robe of a Dark Angel, sorry, should have been more clear.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564833.page GMT Minotaur Chapter Trappings?

I suppose you could put horns or a ring somewhere out of sight or perhaps an insignia from the High Lords themselves. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564836.page GMT Re:Minotaur Chapter Trappings? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564846.page GMT Minotaur Chapter Trappings? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5564853.page GMT Minotaur Chapter Trappings?

I'd say this.

I'd follow the Greek/layman's-Spartan themes, as are seen on their characters produced by Forge World. They've got some interesting chestplate designs and the Roman/Angron-esque frilly bits on the groin you could copy.

I honestly couldn't care less.

So long as they're not a World Eaters successor.

If the Ultramarines were most probable, I'm not sure why their founding chapter would be so heavily concealed, tbh. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5566133.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5566133.page GMT Minotaur Chapter Trappings?

I don't really pay much mind to what their founding chapter is myself, I like the individualistic, not constrained by the pressure of living up to their forebear's standards, appeal of the Minotaurs.

Hence why Brother Gregor, my Minotaur (And an A Song of Ice and Fire reference, lol), has the Individual Chapter Demeanor which I sort of am thinking of as the Demeanor for the Minotaurs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5566186.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5566186.page GMT Minotaur Chapter Trappings? GM a potential plot hook for bringing in said Chapter.

Another thing that comes to mind would be a spear, to fit in with the Minotaur aesthetic. It need not be a CCW either, it could just be a ceremonial spear or maybe even just a medallion or decoration that gives a small bonus to Weapon Skill.

I don't see why a Minotaur would be seconded to the Deathwatch at all, considering they are a very secretive Chapter that operates at the Chapter-level only (i.e. if they are coming after you, they are ALL coming after you), and only act on behest of the High Lords, usually to take out other Space Marines. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5568595.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5568595.page GMT Minotaur Chapter Trappings?
Two, serving in the Deathwatch is a mark of honor for both the Marine and his Chapter.

Three, there's a lot of alien threats out there. Maybe the HLoT told the Minotaur CM to send some guys to the DW, "like, yesterday."

Four, the DW offers a chance to score some pretty sweet bling from Xeno and archaeotech sources.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5568954.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524265/5568954.page GMT Minotaur Chapter Trappings?
