![]() ![]() This is also a relic of when the only white paint I had in high school was the awful Games Workshop white, so it was also born out of necessity. So I don’t paint things white, I paint them off-white, which works better for shading anyways. That means painting white armor can be a real chore. I do this because I hate having to cover up white primer and because my models are incredibly grim. I first saw them in an issue of White Dwarf in 1997, and I loved the color scheme so much I wanted to do an entire army of them. Most recently, they were mentioned in the 5th edition Codex: Space Marines, in a blurb detailing the death of their former Chapter Master, Jorus Shadowmaw. They’re a Codex-Compliant chapter with white and black armor. The White Panthers first appeared as a successor chapter in the 2nd edition Codex: Ultramarines and have shown up now and then in the fluff several times. With that out of the way, here are Goonhammer’s Finest. If you want to show us your dudes, send a message my way on Twittar, insta or drop us an at email us at for the chance to be featured in our mailbag series! They are my fave part of the hobby and I love seeing people’s homebrew. I normally say this spiel at the end, but if you have your own successors please share them with us. Seriously take a crack at it, it’s a barrel of fun times. With this in mind, if you are coming up with new chapter, try to fill out this:įrom there the rest will flow. Rules wise they have piggybacked off the Black Templars traits for a few years with the advent of the new codex I’ll be looking at Hungry for Battle, Whirlwind of Rage and the Ultramarine codex supplement to represent them on the field. Over time my background for these little reckless boys has evolved from there. I’ve built this chapter to express my undying love for all things jump pack and have picked a bunch of my fave units to support this theme. Once you have those you can dive deeper and find your successor tactics and pick your primogenitor.Įxamples? Well look no further than the Swords of Davion. Maybe you have a specific style of gaming you want the chapter to excel in? Does your colour scheme inform this? Do you need to change elements of your scheme to make it work? You can mine history for an idea or base the theme around your fave unit. Once again there are a number of ways to do that. We need to manufacture our chapter’s identity. What do both of the above have in common? A hella strong brand identity. Simply put, a solid theme that shows through and informs army list creation (and for the new codex, successor tactics).įor example picture an Imperial Fist army in your mind’s eye.īolters everywhere. My chapter challenge boys? The band Slayer provided the colour palette for one marine, Roman Praetorians the other. The 20 years of Coda project? I had to colour match a green steam train. For the Swords of Davion, I had a paint I really liked and made up a scheme to make it work. A few good ways to come up with a scheme is to pick your fave colour and find what works with it, steal an idea from history ( medieval knight heraldry really works here) or find a scheme that’s already out there and tweak it to make it yours. Without this the entire idea isn’t going to float, so we need to start here. This an easy 60% of the pull of doing your own chapter. Let’s take a quick second to think about what makes a *good* successor, homebrew or not. In addition here are some HTPE articles for successor chapters we have already done:īlack Templars, Dorn’s somewhat misguided and very, very angry sons by Alfredo Ramirez.Įmperor’s Spears, The last guardians of Elara’s Veil by Tyler “Coda” Moore. ![]() Ot Neba, the tan and blue heroes by Eifert.īlood Ravens, those guys from that computer game detailed with a slick contrast method by RichP.
