<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Blackshield army."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Blackshield army. HH to 40k(Is this even possible without warp corruption shenanigans?)Yet they are avoiding Imperium(especially inquisitors) because of legions betrayal but they hate chaos and xenos. Should i use standard blackshield color scheme or maybe add to kneepads or pauldrons some of the legions old colors(to remember old legions and how they screwed up or maybe lack of black paint to color the rest of power armor)?
Second thing is models. Can classic mk6 marines be in this group? What about using primaris as character models? ( you know they are bigger...)
If this would even work in 40k without deathwatch thing and without excessive amount of creating own rules?
Any help is appreciated!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626503.page GMT Blackshield army. 40k Deathwatch Blackshields are very different things.

Game wise I'd just pick either Codex: Space Marines or Chaos Space Marines and run them like that - in most cases the paint scheme has little to no effect on rules.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626510.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626510.page GMT Blackshield army.

Fluff wise have a read of 'Carcharodons: Outer Dark'. Also, 30k Blackshields and 40k Deathwatch Blackshields are very different things.

Thanks! But still is there a slightest chance of Space marine to live almost 10 000 years without dreadnought?
About deathwatch blackshields. They are SM who removed any connection from previous chapter.... so technically anyone can be blackshield so why not an old legion SM?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626528.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626528.page GMT Blackshield army.

Theoretically yes. However, Blackshields are only a small proportion of a Watch contingent. You wouldnt be fielding an entire army of them. If you're looking for a means to field a mixed semi-renegade or ad-hoc formation of mixed chapters, its not the way to go. Realistically, using the new SM codex and just painting your lads in mixed chapter livery is a reasonable approximation.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626559.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626559.page GMT Blackshield army.

Okey. I thinked about some traitor legion loyalists ship coming from trip that took THEM few days but realistically 10 000 years and they gonna be like: Wot happened? so i have still 2 questions:
1. Blackshield primaris as a character and mk6 marines are a
good idea?
2. Paint scheme that i mentioned above.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626570.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626570.page GMT Blackshield army. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626582.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626582.page GMT Blackshield army.

Paint whatever makes you happy. As to modeling, just be consistent with your conversions.

To be honest i never done any conversion before and this is my first project literally from scratch. Any advice?

It all comes down to knowing what you're going to run particular units as, and then being consistent with those choices. To use your example, if you're using primaris as your characters, don't include a primaris model in a tactical squad later on. You need to be able to (and have your opponent be able to) look at your army and have a reasonable ability to tell what each model represents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626589.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10626589.page GMT Blackshield army.

Warp shenanigans is always the answer.
Primaris goes into the warp today, gets lost, comes out 10k years earlier.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10627522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10627522.page GMT Blackshield army.

Its silly but its true! I remember when ork warboss warp bumped years earlier to get from himself his own weapon. So he killed younger version of himself and straight up erased himself from existence AND biggest waaagh in the galaxy that he gathered for YEARS so they vanished. I wonder what would happened if one of MIA primarch in warp travelled back to before HH and met Emperor and past version of himself! That would be interesting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10627897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10627897.page GMT Re:Blackshield army. https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Blackshields

Your Primaris models wouldnt need to be renegade Primaris, but "Experimented Upon" Astartes, their weapons, Illegal upgrades or salvaged.

Even room there for you to come up with your own colors or just use Black.

One of the Heresy Era factions of Blackshields still exists in 40k the Ashen Claws, so you could even just use them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10628322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10628322.page GMT Blackshield army.

Nothing, they are in a sense Freelance Astartes. Who are called Blackshields. They have rules (only in 30k) but can be used to justify the existence of a modern group of Marines that operate similarly.

Thank you! I had some spare parts so i thinked about own chapter but its boring so i choose the hard way. Im collecting ultrablueberries but recently i wanted something different. A team/squad of unlucky warp travellers who came to space hulk for loot but they ended up in 40k.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10628407.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782356/10628407.page GMT
