The Carcaradons, basically stealthy, silent berserkers who make World Eaters seem charismatic by comparison. Also the only chapter that has a Chapter Master with a pair of combined Lightning Claw Chainfists.

Other than them White scars, because Mongolians on bikes with topknots who are not Sunday cartoon villain.

But with an additional specialty of guerilla warfare and beating shit up. They also have a return from dishonor storyline going on. They've been forgiven for participating in a civil war and are trying to regain their place in the imperium.

>>53281079
No, they're going with a combination of Eldar death magic and AdMech technomagic.

With Chaos having just bashed down the front door and wrecked the patio, things are getting out of hand for everyone. Necromantic technomancy was the only solution, and it seems it's paid off for the western half of the galaxy.

Real SM Players play Sons of Malice.

But they're more of a CSM chapter nowadays. Guess you can play them as either. Definitely no NuMarines, though.

Might be best to wait for 8th and see what new pure Primaris chapters / restored chapters are brought into the fluff.

We're wasting gene-seed and get overwhelmed by every force in the galaxy, but at least we saved those 30 miners who would die from radiation in 2 years either way, allowing our enemies to advance and endanger other imperial forces : the chapter

I think all of them but a couple are dead, yeah. Their chapter master sprouted fucking spider legs or some shit and was captured alive by Imperial Fists, I think?

Are there any specifically asian chapters that aren't the white scars? The idea of a samurai inspired chapter with chain katanas or something ridiculous like that could be cool.

>>53287701
I can't recall any Feudal Japan-themed SM chapters off the top of my head, but that's no reason you can't make your own. 40k's setting is cool like that. It's big. make your own dudes however you want.

>>53271202
Sure shill. Fucking redshirts clutter this board up.

>>53287701
Mantis Warriors are WS successors with a different Asian feel. They all know Kung Fu and have a irreversible medatative battle trance that is like a voluntary version of the Blood Angel's Black Rage. They're cool.

>>53287742
for what purpose would gw try to market on 4chan when you got people like youself that calls everything a shill attempt.

>>53272151
I'm honestly kinda salty about the Soul Drinkers. Mostly because, by complete coincidence, my donut steel chapter has pretty much the exact same color scheme right down to the golden helmets with the only exception being that my purple has a small amount of gold mixed in and gets a layer of gloss ardcoat over it. I've never even read the books and was unaware Soul Drinkers were a thing until people at the LGS in my old town constantly mistook them for the Drinkers. I eventually got tired enough of having to explain it that I just stopped all of them except the captain.

Also the embodiment of Astartes as the protectors of mankind, what with protecting civilians at the cost of their own lives and remaining in contact with their families on Nocturne.

I always made up my own fluff for paint schemes and my armies, I made up my own IG regiment, my own SM chapter, my own inquisitor, etc etc. So my friend starts painting up Nightlords after reading Soul Hunter, loved the book, and talked about much he loved painting an official chapter.

So when I picked up my Eldar I said fuck it why not and painted them Biel-Tan, even converted my own Macha. Greens my favorite color, so why not? And it was awesome.

Now my craftworld is dead.
THANKS GW

So just remember every time you think your chapter did something so stupid its irredeemable.
Atleast they didnt get invaded by a gigantic storm of slaaneshi daemons after they foolishly let a croneworld witch and her cult on board and all killed.
