Tome Keepers - Custom Chapter
/
Warhammer 40,000 – Creating your own space marine chapters is one of the more rewarding experiences you can have as a Warhammer player. The background “fluff” for Space Marines leaves a ton of room for you to create your own story, and that story can make the games you play with friends more meaningful than just kicking the crap out of each other of moving pieces around a board to get the high score.
Anytime someone asks me about getting a space marine force painted I always suggest creating your own chapter or unique scheme. In doing so you open up the possibility to use any of the plethora of rulesets, special characters and source material that Games Workshop creates for their poster boys.
This chapter is based off the Tome Keepers chapter with a few tweaks to the scheme so there isn’t any confusion on the table. Their owner has an existing Black Templar force that is nearly complete and as such wanted to incorporate the First Born keeping a black scheme with the Primaris Marines decked out in a bone color. Once I started painting the force that idea changed a bit and the force may be primaris only at some point.
With this first batch done he has a big enough selection to start a crusade force and grow it. Next up I’ll have some additional Primaris Marines and a small Imperial Knight contingent to give him options as the crusade continues.
