Give it some thought, and once you have a core concept to use as your compass moving forward let’s get to the thick of it. There are even space cats in the Dark Ange- I mean the Celestial Lions. So whatever theme you’ve got, it can’t get much cheesier. Blood Angels are space vampires, Space Wolves are space werewolves, Charcharodons are space sharks, and Black Dragons are space dragons. Now before we get into hard stats that will be likely displayed to anyone you share your Chapter with, to help you keep everything neat and tidy, it’s often a good idea to get an idea of the Theme you desire for your Chapter as that will help any writer’s block you run into as well as you avoiding ‘mistakes’ like naming the Chapter the “Dusk Wraiths” or the “Hidden Victors” that give the idea of stealth and then in Preferred Tactics you list Armored Warfare or Frontal Assaults.Īnd while it might sound cheesy at first, all Chapters/Warbands in 40K have a theme that’s usually quite clear. That being said, let’s get into the meat of it: Theme: It just adds some realism into the whole affair. However, please find some clever way of incorporating it, like “It remained a constant source of debate among the Codiciers of the Chapter’s Librarius as to when this event truly took place.” etc. Of course, if you want to slide in some calendar inconsistencies, that would be fitting considering the state of the Imperial Dating System and record-keeping. And if there happened to already be a “ Bone Knives” Chapter, against all odds. Because you never know if you’re going to be sharing your custom Chapter to someone only for them to point out that the Eldar Craftworld you fought was on the other side of the galaxy at the time of your greatest victory, or the Crusade your Chapter fought in happened a thousand years before your Chapter was reportedly founded. Always check to see if your idea already exists somewhere already.
That being said, let’s get started.įirst rule that applies to everything here. Whatever the case, here I’ll go over all the relevant details with some pointers and some guidelines to help create a believable Chapter/Warband. You would want a Custom Chapter if you’re looking to create your own corner of lore in the Warhammer 40K universe just because it’s simply fun, or as an excuse to paint out your own army in a way you desire, or want to really flesh out your custom army with characters and history to drive you onward to greater victories on the tabletop. Today we will be looking at how to go about creating a custom Space Marine Chapter or Chaos Space Marine Warband with the background and lore to be nigh-indistinguishable from canon Space Marine Chapters/Warbands. How does one declare a Founding of the Space Marines?
