If I was going to pick a space marine chapter it would be Crimson Fists, because I like the Ultarmarines color scheme, but I don't want to come off as too vanilla. Oddly enough they're a successor to the imperial fists though, hah.

My CSM warband is a custom one, but I've also been building up some regular original 9 legions squads to accompany them. I don't collect loyalist SMs outside of a few models for Wrath and Glory, but they're all part of the Iron Champions which I think is the best of both worlds for "this is a real chapter," and "but there is less than 1 paragraph of fluff on them so do whatever."

If I were ever to play loyalists I would probably do Crimson Fists; as a hispanic person I appreciate the representation and I hope their old special characters make a comeback

I always preferred the idea of renegades like the Astral Claws, marines that were not specifically chaos-ed but more like 'Nah, gently caress this, we're going solo' and then running a renegade life - I know the Claws ended up all in on chaos after getting smashed, which is a shame.

Is there any reason to play an obscure successor chapter like Flesh Tearers or a Dark Angels successor? Seems like there's lots of cool fluff opportunities and the ability to choose a better paint scheme, but are they just using their chapters rules without access to the special characters or what?

Flesh Tearers have one Epic Hero, so if you like that one character that would be the reason for that specific chapter at least. The nice thing is that you can use whatever detachment you want, regardless of paint scheme so Epic Heroes are the only rules consideration in play.

I like the idea of it, but I also like the idea that trying to turn your back on the Imperium without falling under the spell of the warp gods in the process is walking a very fine tightrope, and if you pull it off the Imperium will just tell everyone you turned to chaos anyway.

The main problem is resources. You basically have to build your own little empire and get a forgeworld on your side to be able to have repair and resupply for armor, weapons, ships, etc etc. That ties you down to one location, which means the Imperium will eventually roll up with a much larger force than you can bring to bear, forcing you to flee to the one place they can't follow - the Eye of Terror. The other option is to become pirates. You have the same problem with resources, but you rely on mobility and raids to keep your heads above water, and you're basically prey for any bigger fish that comes along. And even then you need safe harbours to repair ship damage. Gravitas Shortfall fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Nov 17, 2023 |

That's why the key part is to get lost in some corner of the galaxy that Imperium forgot about, or already conquered and then forgot about again.

Seems like there's lots of cool fluff opportunities and the ability to choose a better paint scheme, but are they just using their chapters rules without access to the special characters or what? The answer to this has somewhat varied over the different editions. In some editions they would just use the parent chapter's rules, so if you liked a set of rules but not the paint scheme they were a way to accomodate you. Some editions, like 9th, had traits that you could customize/choose for your faction, so you could have your successor chapter use customized traits without it being confusing and still able to use the force with the standard parent chapter rules in other games without it being confusing. In the current edition there are no specific faction traits or rules, just detachment rules and characters locked to certain factions. So theoretically if you wanted to play your White Scars as an artillery heavy ranged fighting force and run your Imperial Fists as a fast moving bike focused army you can.

You can always go the Ashen Claws route. They're non-Chaos renegade space marines who supply the Carcharodons with aspirants from their planet in exchange for a cut of the Carcharodons' supply drops, which the Carcharodons get from the Adeptus Mechanicus on the down-low in exchange for archaotech the Carcharodons pass them on the down low, which they hunt down during their patrols of the galactic border. So they don't need a forge world and the whole supply chain is done through multiple layers of cut-outs. It is a bit convoluted, though. Might have trouble setting it up.

Does Holy Terra even have continents, really? We think of continents as land masses separated by oceans, and Holy Terra doesn't have that second thing.

Yeah that's the plan, I've mentioned it before but I really just want to collect Chaos. I've got like 1500 points of my main warband but the long term goal is just little mini 500 point batches of other legions and just plug and play as needed (no mixed squads though, the squads will all be uniformly a single scheme). Held off on ordering it but when those christmas boxes actually release I might cruise around the local shops and see if I can nab a WE one as a side faction. I just love trim I guess

The Championship reveal stream starts in 10 minutes. https://www.twitch.tv/warhammer First reveal, a new model for Orikan the Diviner. No word on Trazyn getting a new one as well. Yet... Then there's a new Narrative expansion, Crusade: Pariah Nexus. Then the Dark Angels doesn't get just get new Terminators, but a new Asmodai model too.

Looks like the Deathwing Knight kit will "only" have options for Maces and Calibanite Swords, rather than supporting three squad types as the current one does. I would guess that means there will be a second kit for regular Deathwing with the command options, or an upgrade frame for the multipart terminators. Asmodai looks sick, I like that he's finally got his sword back from his classic art, even if it's not currently an option for standard Chaplains (maybe Interogator Chaplains will get the option if they get their own datasheet) And they went all in on his Darkwing Duck smokescreen.
