>>45935202
Kinda reminded of the long ignored Abyssal Jaws.

>>45935370
Weren't they just Carchodons?

>>45935388
Not quite, though they shared similarities.

>>45935202
Bump

>>45935271
>Can we give them a less goofy name?

Pfft no, their name is fucking awesome

>a /tg/ homebrew chapter inspired by the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Moby Dick, and old grizzled sailors.

so Star Krakens?

>>45938658
No, star Krakens are Viking Big Daddies.

They have water in common.

I love when /tg/ complains about Space Wolves and their wolf riding werewolves with wolf claws, but then goes and creates super gimmicky homebrew chapters like the underwater scuba marines with mermen serfs (more like SURFS)

>>45938703
>Star Krakens chapter master was Achab
>The Mariner, captain of the Albatross

seems pretty close
I might just be mad this thread popped up at the same time I had an idea for oceanic marines

>>45938750
Here's an idea anon.

Instead of bitching help tone back the ridiculous shit like Power Anchors and Turbine Packs.

Lord knows I'm trying to balance things out. Just looks at Hua Yuan or the Sanguine Shields. I think they strike a pretty safe balance.

>>45938767
>Achab
As do the Black Locks. It's like /tg/ knows only one nautical literary figure.

Also what's the Albatross?

>>45939013

>>45941371
>>45939013
Albatross is a ship that's captained by a crazy man

It's on the 1d4chan page

>Star Krakens will never get un-fucked and go back to that good shit they started out as

It hurts

>>45941525

We can still have them be good. Just remove the wankery-page and they're a solid concept, removed from the faggotry.

>>45941525
>>45941706
It looks like most of the legacy page for the Star Krakens got unfucked, but it's still missing a fair bit.

>>45935202
Looking at the brief overview you've given I'd say they're more like the early American navy than anything else.

>>45942757
That's the thought. But let's not overdo it make a goofy pop-eye chapter. These are no-Fun allowed Dangels.

>>45941525
How do we unfuck them? How did they get fucked?

How can we steer clear of fucking these guys?

>>45942173
What's it missing? I can try and drum up stuff from memory/saved threads

>>45942830
Huginn and Muninn are still messed up, the Lighthouse and the SK's battle barge are still conflated, and some of the later stuff about the Grendel and their other enemies is missing.

>>45942827
The SK's main problem was some namefags trying to outdo each other with the captains. The SK's were actually unfucked in the threads themselves, but some people kept messing with the 1d4chan page for long after things were changed.

As for the Sunken Angels, the early American Navy was small and couldn't compete by numbers with any of the other naval powers so the their frigates were based around the concept of a razee, which was a ship that was designed larger then the number of decks cut down. This resulted in the frigates being faster, more stable, and heavier armed than a non-razee ship of equal tonnage. They worked best engaging equal or lesser ships one-on-one.

>>45943204
What about whaling? These guys seem to be based on old whalers as well.

How can we introduce these influences along side the Dark Angels stuff without going full ham?

BUUUUMP

>>45944910
Void whales are a thing.

>>45948466
Bullshit, seriously?

>>45948503

>>45949034

I wouldn't want to include them in the Star Kraken's shit. These guys fuck up threats to the Imperium, not go around hunting space whales.

Void Whales only got a notable mention when they ate a whole WAAAGH in one of the Ork Codex illustrations.

Didn't we do this already.

I'm pretty sure we did that concept at least twice with the Abyssal Jaws

>>45952590
>>45952641
>These comments again

Abyssal Jaws are Carcadons Lite, and the Star Krakens are Big Daddy vikings.

These guys are old grizzled sailors/whalers. Except they hunt specific Chaos warbands and Orks.

The thought behind these threads is that fluff is added to them to make them unique.

What kinda combat do they use

>>45954153
Maybe you should read the thread, m8t

خرة

>>45953365
Star Krakens also have "grizzled sailors" as their shtick. The hunting of specific Chaos warbands points more to an Age of Sail theme, particularly privateers.
