>>14631553
Why use the Tau as a standard for weeabooness when the Eldar are legions more weeaboo than the Tau?

Youkeepusingthatword.jpg

Chinese and Indian inspired culture with British empire trappings and American manifest destiny is weeaboo when?

>The Chapter badge is a Japanese banzai tree silhouette with a rising sun behind it, on a white background, surrounded by Japanese Kanji characters.

BETTER?

>>14631623
That's it...?

I'm still failing to see the problem here, some random Chinese Characters...

Uh, I honestly don't know what you would like me to do here?

So this is where all the Japanese in the Imperium gone to. That explain why there's no Imperial Japanese theme guards in the Imperium.

>>14631623
hirogana

>>14631642
I think OP is under the impression that weeaboo means Japanese (and for some reason to be abhorred?)
I'm not sure what he's driving at. So there's a Japanese Space Marine chapter that's barely even canon. So what?

>Weeaboo

a meaningless word now more meaningless as no one really uses it for it's original purposes.

protip to all the "east/west is better" fans out there - no one gives a shit.

No one gives a shit if you dislike anything about japan.

No one gives a shit if you love anything and everything about japan.

>>14631628
Eh... Pretty much. Not a real known chapter. Actually almost thinking about makeing them my chapter just because.

>>14631642
You, sir, are an idiot. Didnt say chinese anywhere... But I will give you a 5/10 for effort.
>little< bit of rage there.

>>14631653
Yeah, with all this Emperor worship, you'd think there would be a major Samurai-themed space marine chapter or IG regiment.

>>14631664
Kanji are Chinese characters, bro.

It's not weeaboo unless it's SUPER KAWAII DESU and EASTARU >>>>> WESTARU. Otherwise, it's just some Eastern-inspired imagery in a setting that draws from all of human history. Now stop whining.

>>14631553
>Sources: How to Paint Space Marines
>Check Iron Hands second founding chapters
>Red Talons, Brazen Claws, no Emperor's Shadows

Seems to me this was a suggestion from one asshole at GW who contributed to a damn Citadel reference book. Since they appear nowhere else, I'm sure they've been retconned.

Tau and Eldar still hold the championship for most weeaboo.

'weeaboo hate' is just as annoying as weeaboos themselves.
sort of like with furries.
I wouldn't hear about any of them if it weren't for you retards

> surrounded by Japanese Kanji characters
>Japanese Kanji characters
> Japanese Kanji
> Japanese

Your killing me

>>14631668
Indeed.
>Samurai-themed Space Marine
AW SHIT. WANDERING AROUND THE GALAXY FIGHTING THE ENEMY OF THE EMPEROR. Wait that's a Ronin.

>>14631695
I don't care for flamboyant weeaboos, but those who rage at anything vaguely Japanese just to distance themselves from weeaboos are just as bad. There's a difference between being interested in Samurai and liking Japanese food and AM I KAWAII UGUU~ NIPPON WA ICHIBAN DESU YO!

Mmmmm... Emperor's Ronins.

Might be something to that.

>>14631703

It's appropriate for the setting, considering how Japan had a God-Emperor, a xenophobic and genocidal empire and a caste of honor-obsessed warriors who comprised a feudal system.

A Space Marine Chapter or two based on Edo-period Japan would be kind of cool.

>>14631703
Nah dude, just imagine. Hundreds of screaming space marines charging down a hill on foot and bike, guns blazing and screaming "BANZAAAAAIIII!"
The Rising Sons, they'd be called. Yeah...

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Emperor%27s_Shadows

you are pullin shit out of your ass OP

>>14631731
Tomorrow: /tg/ homebrews a Samurai chapter. From the feudal world of Yamato, where ever-warring clans battle for honor and prestige! Only the most worthy of heroes may be called to join the Shogun (Chapter Master)'s personal clan and fight beyond the stars for the glory of the Most Honorable Emperor!

>>14631751

.... heh.

>>14631731
>A Space Marine Chapter or two based on Edo-period Japan would be kind of cool
Their home planet is based on the sengoku period. Marines are recruited from each houses. This way the Chapter is fill with different tactics. Each company is filled with members of one house or something.
>>14631734
>Hundreds of screaming space marines charging down a hill on foot and bike, guns blazing and screaming "BANZAAAAAIIII!"
Oh god the image. It's stuck into my head. Though charging into enemy seem more like a Guards thing to do.

Its there at the link I posted....... I didnt make that. Of course this is two different sites argueing with each other on what means what. Or whatever...

I actually kinda found it funny.

>>14631751
fund it.

>>14631723
But I've never actually met a flamboyant weeaboo over the age of 14, and teenagers are annoying as fuck anyways.

I HAVE however met some middle aged neckbeards who really take the anti-weeaboo thing way too far.

Worked with a guy like that. Loved comics, wouldn't touch manga because "comics should be about superheroes", Loved 2000 AD comics because "the art is soooo compelling", and also disdained "movies" and only watched "films"

Seriously listened to the guy bitch about how awful Transformers was for an hour. Like he expected some compelling epic about the struggle of a robotic master race from beyond the stars.

I told him "I paid $10 to see robots beat the crap out of each other". He told me "I'm what's wrong with this world."

Seriously, the haters are worse than the fans.

>>14631811
Transformer fan diehards are what is wrong with the world, it was a shitty cartoon to sell hasbro toys to elementary schoolers let it go.

Who the FUCK goes to"Transformers" for vintage film? If people were upset that it was giant robots beating the shit out of each other instead of Hamlet, then I feel for them.

But I like the idea of the Rising Sons.
I really really like it.

>>14631773
ODA FOR FIRST COMPANY

>>14631811 But I've never actually met a flamboyant weeaboo over the age of 14

you must not be in college, or if you are, you're really lucky.

>>14631844
There's suppose to be ten companies right? I was thinking maybe the first company is like the best warrior from each houses together. Like >>14631751 said
>Shogun (Chapter Master)'s personal clan
Would be the first company.

>>14631844

Wait, are those pieces for a Japanese boardgame?

Are we, /tg/, considering making a chapter of Space Marines who are organized by a Japanese traditional game?

Fuck. Yes.

>>14631751
>>14631773
Would they be a White Scars successor since they seem to have a pretty big thing with Honor?

>>14631871

Clan symbols from shogun 2, if I'm not mistaken.

White Scars look to be a good start, but they distance themselves from that chapter. Too... barbaric for them.

What would their favorite way to battle be? Mostly Hand to hand classic?

>>14631847
worse, I'm just old. 30 this Christmas.

Wouldn't it also actually make sense to have the use the banners on their back now? Maybe the first company wear's their clan's flag on their back to show where they come from.

The chapter in the picture is somebody's homebrew chapter, I remember seeing the squad in White Dwarf years ago.

>>14631871
No those aren't from boardgame it's from history. Those are the symbol of notable houses during the Sengoku Peroid.
The Rape Tier is Oda House.
Bishamonten God Tier is Takeda house and Uesugi House.
Mid Tier is Hojo House.
Mid oh shit why Ships tier is Mori house.
Meh Bonus tier is Hattori house and Tokugawa house.
Easymode ISUCKDICKS shit tier is Shimazu, Date and Chosokabe house.
>>14631876
I don't know much about White Scars so I can't answer.

>>14631674
Kanji are Chinese, but the images actually use Hiragana, which are totally Japanese.
Really, this didn't make me think weeaboo. It more made me think Karate Kid.
Pic related

>>14631910
I've been reading Savage Scars and it mentions how the main character thinks the Tau fight honorably even though they're dirty xenos. So they do regard honor pretty highly. Also you could say in the background for them that their home world was a recruiting world for the White Scars and during one of the foundings the Scars just let them break off and form their own chapter.

White Scars are a Bike based chapter, mostly into get in and leave tread marks on your face.

Heavily influenced by the Mongols. Chapter Master is known as the Khan.

/tg/ should homebrew a feudal Japanese Space Marine chapter. Samurai style masks, and katana powerswords. Dishonoured/failed Space Marine Scouts are sent to do kamikaze missions to redeem themselves. A large built (even for a Space Marine) for their chapter master/Shogun. Their Dreadnoughts could all be close combat based sumos.

I'd love a Samurai-themed Imperial Guard regiment, but they'd need to use solid ammunition or something, so they have a reason to use their swords when they run out of Ammo.

Thousands of Guardsmen brandishing swords charging a Tau gunline and hacking them to bits despite heavy losses, thanks to the warrior code of their home planet equating surrender or retreat as worse than death.

Would be badass.

>>14631847
Fucking this. I study Japanese at uni. Every class has at least one, often more, fucking weaboos in it. They bring their shitty art to show everyone. Fuck off no-one cares, we're trying to study. Also your pronunciation is terrible, your grammar is worse and you learnt all your vocab from anime.

>>14631935
Samurai also used cavalry so some of their mounted tactics could be very similar to their parent chapter.

>>14631953
I think that was on the same page with Australian IG regiment.

>>14631924
Not getting back into that argument.

>>14631940
Sumo not so much I would think... Maybe "Dragons" of a sort? Mmmm.

Any ideas on color schemes?

>OP starts a Japan-hate thread
>/tg/ starts discussing Samurai-themed Space Marines and Guardsmen

I love you guys.

>>14631977
I'm not sure about the rest of the chapter but since the first company was the best warriors from each house they would wear their houses colors into battle. If not then each of the banners they wear on their back would signify what house they're from.

>>14631934
>>14631935
Oh ok. Seem like the honor stuff work. Don't know how to mix in the Bike stuff though. The Chapter Maser for this chapter might be call a Shogun? Captain as Daimyo?
>>14631953
I got just the thing for this. See pic. POWER KATANA.
>>14631940
>Dreadnought Sumo
Oh god yes.

Do we even have a name for them yet?
>>14631996
Not all White Scars successor chapters are mounted combat heavy. Sure their mounted units would use the same tactics as the White Scars but most everything else would be their own.

>>14631996
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRWcsNmSv-4

Before a massive battle, a great number of the chapter's dreadnoughts were awakened. Here we can see them going through the pre-battle rituals of the chapter.

>>14631977
White and Red

>>14631977
>Any ideas on color schemes?
Black and Gold? Seem to be the standard colour for Samurai armor.
>>14631995
Banner on back would work for first company that is mixed from each houses. Other company would paint their armor differently depending on the house they're from?

>>14631977
It would be cool to see a dreadnought with a multimelta who's gun arm resembles a dragon and the rest of the body would be painted through out the rest of the mech.

>>14631751
>>14631773
>>14631763
They'll need an acompanying oriental-themed guard regiment as well

>>14632021
>Do we even have a name for them yet?
"The Rising Sons" seem to be it.
And ok. Their mounted units use the same tactics as White Scars and then they develop their own tactics for other things.
>>14632024
Oh god circle of Dreadnought walking around.

>>14632039
"peasants" that are part of the chapter's force maybe or make up the planets guardsman regiments?

>>14631996
>>14631940
Massive weeaboo hater noramlly but sumo-noughts are something I would like to see

I hate to say it but the space wolves dex would be fucking GREAT for this chapter.

Wolf Guard would represent the various 1st company clansmen joining various squads and such and would justify why the wolf guard would always have such drastically differing gear.

The basic grey hunter would also make for a great samurai-esque profile seeing as samurai are famed (somewhat stereotypically but w/e) for using bows before melee combat ensued.

Thunderwolves could be the cavalry element? (or just not use them at all w/e tg thinks would work)

And the bloodclaws could be the kamikaze soldiers hellbent on getting their honour back.

Likewise the lone wolf could be a 1st company clansmen doing the same thing (but more epicly seeing as he has fallen so far from grace).

Fluffwise would this chapter command the loyalty of a minor guard regiment? (japanese guardsmen) Seeing as this kind of society would have plenty of ppl willing to fight but unable to get into the much sought after rank of astarte, I could see them having an "ashigaru" aspect to their overall force.

>>14632042
The mounted units charge into the enemy then while they are engaged with the mounted units the rest of the army charges into combat screaming.

They'd probably get yelled at by Ultramarines for having non-Codex approved astartes helms.

>>14632039
Maybe PDF? each house (Like normal noble houses in the Imperium) have one and use them to fight each other to claim the title of Planetary Governer.

I propose their origin world is a Shrine World, Asian-themed. The Ecclesiarchy favors robes, kimonos and shinto shrine-looking temples of the Emperor. This opens up for shrine maiden Sisters of Battle, too. And Pai Mei-looking Clerics.

Also, if anyone has the Chapter Generator from Rites of Battle, we should use it to generate the chapter, like we did with the Jaws and the Nightmares.

>>14632039
>>14632046
Well If the SM are Samurais the obivous thing to do is to make the guardsmen WW2-era Impy Japanese Army, officers with power katanas, grunts with bayonets and rifles, some kinda of special order the officers can issue that gives the guarsman some kinda of Banzai-charge ability
target unit of guardsmen unit must assault this turn, but has fleet, feel no pain and is fearless for this turn

>>14632076
>Non-approved helms
>MFW when I model this fucking helmet onto a Bike Captain. And maybe an auspex

FUCK YOU, I'M WEARING THE MOON

>>14632085
wait
but that was random

>>14632085
So they're a chapter made to protect the shrine world because the planet holds X artifacts that are incredibly holy that they need an entire chapter to guard it a long with everything else?

>>14632106
Kamikaze everything
Torpedos, Planes, Cars

>>14632112
I can imagine a Space Wolf looking at him and asking how he gets through doors.

>>14632128
They'd need a Battlefleet gothic unit as well, with Kamikaze carriers

To all the people saying dragonoughts are better than sumonoughts: Imagine being on a battlefield and seeing a large dragon's head, shooting burst of what appears to be fire. This is not scary to a group of battle hardened Chaos Space Marines which see warp beasts all the time.

Imagine, instead, seeing a dreadnought charge into your Khorne possessed raging Chaos dreadnought. You think this enemy dreadnought to be foolish, and idiotic. You see your Chaos dreadnought grapped, and shoulder thrown into your own troops, with the mechanised scream of "BANZAI!" echoing through the battlefield.

>>14632129
Very successfully

According to history, Date not only survived all the bullshit that went down, but he managed to schmooze both Hideyoshi and Ieyasu - even after basically giving both of them the finger on seperate occasions - and was awarded the Sendai province, which became incredibly successful mostly because he was open to trade from the West despite nominally supporting Ieyasu's ban on Christian practice. He wrote a letter to the pope and sent a fairly large delegation to the Vatican in the interest of setting up trade, and he basically trolled everyone, ever, hard. He was notorious for his reckless approach to battle, as well, but successful despite it.

Also, he either cut out his own eye or had a servant do it for him with a knife because it was hopelessly infected. At like, age 7.

And he wasn't even supposed to inherit the clan. His mother favored another brother on account of that brother had two eyes, but Masamune wasn't going to put up with that shit.

>>14632057
No weapon attachment. JUST PURE HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT. GRABBING XENOS AND THROWING THEM AROUND.
>>14632106
Might work.
>>14632085
>I propose their origin world is a Shrine World, Asian-themed
Maybe they control a small sub-sector? Since Recruit from Shrine World would go into Sisters of Battle and Priest army and Shrine world are normally peaceful so they won't really fit with the warring state peroid.
Oh and here's a daemon of Chaos that is common on their planet.

>>14632118
Could explain the White Scar origins really well actually. The local WW2 era japanese guard can't hold the shrine world due to their constant lack of soldiers (banzai charges and whatnot) so the white scars are tasked with protecting it and over time they just let those they assigned to protect it hundreds of years earlier form their own chapter.

>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C_v2AnKLI0
>that scene with the Rising Sons
>mfw

>>14632129
Easy... He makes his own.

So instead of the Laurels, we have cresents present on the helms?

How about for a color scheme we do a primarily black armor, gold shoulderpads maybe with a Rising Sun motif for the chapter symbol... just have each of the different companys have different stylized versions of it?

Fuck I am tired...

>>14632146
>dreadnought charges chaos dreadnought
>pushes it over on it's back
>it wiggles and tries to get back up but can't

>>14632142

No offense to the Japanese, but "banzai" doesn't look too intimidating on paper.

A better war cry might be something like "Ten thousand years!" or "Vivat Imperator!" They mean the same thing as banzai but are more intimidating.

>>14632147
They would also be extremely loyal to the point where they are like the Death Korps of Krieg and only have Commissars to make sure they dont just kill themselves pointlessly.

>>14632166
I'm sure it would sound a lot more intimidating through a Space Marine's vox amplifiers though.

>>14632180
Oh lol...so the commissars job in this army would be to make sure his soldiers DON'T DIE? (at least at the inoppurtune moments) oh gawd that's epic.

>>14632165
I lol'd way too much at that. And the Chaos Dreadnought keep yelling something about killing and pain while the Sumonought just stare at him and laugh.
>>14632163
>Laurels, we have cresents present on the helms
Cresents?
>How about for a color scheme we do a primarily black armor, gold shoulderpads maybe with a Rising Sun motif for the chapter symbol... just have each of the different companys have different stylized versions of it
Yeah might work. Rising Sun motif is the standard symbol but each company use their house symbol.
>>14632166
>Banzai
>Ten thousand Years
Samething bro. Tennōheika banzai for Ten thousand years for the Emperor.

>Ok seriously, yes the Tau are pretty Weaboo
NOPE.jpeg

>>14632166

Say it in the Dawn of War voices, it is actually pretty fucking badass.

>>14632191

You didn't read my whole post, did you.

So who/what is this chapter's biggest rival? Not all chapters have one but there are quite a few who do.

Likewise is this chapter famed for fighting a certain enemy? Like how ultramarines are seen as always fighting tyranids.

>>14632201
NOPE. CAN'T SAY I DID. SORRY BRO.
>>14632180
Here's a Commissar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPxeCFcl-D4
His objective is to make sure that all soldier give their life to the Emperor if the battle is lost.

>>14632191
Cresents... or however its spelled. Whatever... See >>14632076
and >>14632112

Leader of the IG regiment on The Rising Sun's homeworld.

>>14632180
>Commissars to make sure they dont just kill themselves
MY BRAIN IS FULL OF FUCK

>>14632216
I was just about to post something about Comissars being Kempeitei.

>>14632242
GLORIOUS.
>>14632238
Oh those thing on their head? Ok then.

In all honesty that looks more like someone put a picture of their homebrew chapter and just put it on that site. That is an abomination unless they have some kind of referrence.

Anyone has the Chapter Generator from Rites of Battle yet?

made this really quickly what do you guys think? I thought the crest on his helm would be the crescent so it would probably be gold also.

>>14632277
Just finished downloading the book. How can I help generate the chapter?
>>14632283
The black is a bit too black. Maybe make it lighter?

>>14632283

Something I loved about the OP pic was the pauldron designs. Could the Rising Sons incorporate that as well?

>>14632293
this better?

>thread start with weeaboo hate
>create samurai space marine chapter
HOW /tg/?

>>14632283

I think it needs some nice Imperial Japan red in there. It is too dark for a chapter about shouting "BANZAI!" whilst their dreadnoughts toss bloodcrushers asunder.

>>14632314
Yeah they probably would I'm just doing their basic colors right now.

>>14632324
I was going off the armors in
>>14632076
>>14632030
>>14632112
they seem to use a lot of black and gold so it seemed easiest just to make them wear black and gold.

>>14632293
post the roll list

You know, it wouldn't have to be all sumo-noughts. They could easily be a specialized variant of their dreadnoughts, with only the most suicidally brave of their chapter given the honor of becoming one while still using more conventional dreadnoughts with less insane marines inside them.

>>14632318
scrape off the loyalist markings, add a chaos star and vola; you have black legioner!

this thread better still be alive when I wake up or at least another thread but I have a feeling day time /tg/ will just call it weaboo bullshit.

>>14632318
Honestly, I prefer the previous.

I'd recommend a vaguely glossy black with a somewhat scaled or segmented look to the armor.

I come bearing a divergent scheme.

>>14632384
that works but I would make the crest on his helm gold as well.

>>14632318
Yeah.
>>14632340
Here. Roll and I'll post the text.
>>14632366
Right. Then we have Sumo-Closecombat variant and Dragon-Melta variant.

>>14631660
Sadly people apparently DO give a fuck...

A Norwegian dude converted up some Samurai-inspired marines a while back. I don't like the Night Lords helmet personally but the layered armor is nice.

rolled 3 = 3

>>14632394
Rolling for 1-1

>>14632405
FUCKIN THIS.

>>14632384
I kinda like this one... Dont see many armies looking like that.

>>14631653

There's the Iron Fist (homeworld Tekarn) regiment mentioned in the 3rd ed codex that have Samurai looking carapace/flak armour.

>>14632437
Strategic Prognostication
tl;dr version: They are created because the Emperor tarot warn that there's a threat that only they could defend against.
Roll 1d100 for when the chapter was founded.

Any picture of the regiment?

rolled 78 = 78

>>14632468
Rolling

For the Guard unit, Instead of penal troops we have ''dsihonoured men'', standard guardsman excpet, very low point cost, improved CC somehow, fearless, some kind of rule that forces them charge into CC whenever possible

>>14632473
that's a nice roll. not too old not too young.
<spoiler>Just the way i like them</spoiler>

>>14632473
Created during the 40th Millennium. Just before the Imperium start losing it power.
Roll d100 for Progenitor.

>>14632487
We already agree to use White Scar.

Skip it.

>>14632498
Right then. So rolling for geneseed purity? Or do we agree with New generation? If yes then roll a 1d10 for codex.

>>14632525
I feel like it should be Swift as the Wind over all the rest but idk

I would say it is a tossup between Uphold the Honor of the Emperor or No Mercy No Respite... Others dont really fit so well except maybe Suffer not the Alien to Live

>>14632552

Uphold the Honour of the Emperor is more important than that.

No Mercy, No Respite

UPHOLD THE HONOUR OF THE EMPEROR

i think the Eye to Eye chapter flaw would actually fit them best but we're obviously not rolling on the flaws table

rolled 5 = 5

Let's let the dice decide, shall we.

>>14632582
not when the dice come up with scions of mars

rolled 2 = 2

>>14632582

OK, that failed spectacularly. Unless we're going with "Japanese hightech marines" that use superior forge technology... No.

Anyway, new roll, with only the options mentioned in the thread:

1. Suffer not the Alien
2. Swift as the Wind
3. Honour of the Emperor
4. No Mercy, No Respite

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1400016&prodId=prod1060236

Minis wise should we use DA?
Their robes are close enough to kimono

rolled 2 = 2

>>14632614

>>14632628
i think the robes are good but it would be headswaps all the way. hoods aren't the way to go for out samurai

Another samurai-styled Marine chapter is the Mantis Warriors. At least, I've seen depictions of them as samurai-inspired. Here's one.

>>14632640
Agreed, although making an army of these dudes might get kinds expensive: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1400016&prodId=prod1140198

>>14632652
I wish i could use green stuff...

>>14632656
they have the plastic upgrade sprues don't they?
I think it's like $14 comes with 3 robes iirc
Still a lot of money to even build one unit

>>14632682
From what i can tell, it makes five dudes in robes plus gives you two banners. Might be worth it

I seriously fucking approve of this thread. Samurai inspired Space Marine chapter. I also agree with the gentleman who suggest Space Wolves would be a better fit for them as well as the idea of them using the White Scars (another asian themed chapter) as their Geneseed.

Due to the modernness of the weapons, I'd also highly recommend looking at how Japan fought during World War 2, where the old codes clashed with new technology and they had to strike a balance.

I'm also all behind an IG regiment from the same planet, as 'Samurai' is a social class and only they can become Space Marines, everyone else who wants to be a warrior has to either prove themselves of join the IG. If only you could still play Allies, IG regiment from this planet, lead by a Space Marine 'Samurai' General...

>>14632614
Oh shit sorry guys I was playing Afterwind. Anyway it seem that you choose Swift as the Wind.
Roll a 1d10 for chapter flaw.

>>14632753
Here's the flaw list.
I thought everyone already left the thread.

rolled 8 = 8

Rolling for flaws. Any one of them can be fluffed into a suitably Japanese flavor.

>>14631565Why use the Tau as a standard for weeabooness when the Eldar are legions more weeaboo than the Tau?


Eldar were 80'S before that fucking word got thrown around
Eldar were made to simply be fucking cool space elves with Macross walkers.
Anime and manga at this point wasn't mainstream but a cool thing that nerds were trading on beta tapes.


Tau were a conscious marketing decision to cash in on 90's animu boom.

>>14632773

Eye to Eye suits them perfectly, really. They always strive to disembowel the enemy up close and personal. Even their Sumonoughts waddle into battle with CCW's rather than long-range weapons.

>>14632773
Eye to Eye. Fit well enough.
d100 for Characteristic.

I ditched the black for this NIPPONMARU variant. It'll look great with the respendent sun on the shoulder.

>>14632812

Fuck yeah, choose whatever we like! So, what do you guys think? I suggest WS and WP for the blade mastery and attitute.

>>14632810

Looks good, and with a bit more work it will look great. And yeah, there's a unanimous agreement ITT that the Guard of the homeworld will look like WWII Japanese.

>>14632812
Ok then.
2d100 for the founding father and what he did.

rolled 96, 92 = 188

I like random rolling. It gives me something to work with. I'm not as comfortable creating a backstory from scratch as I am interpreting what the dice gave me. Sometimes it can be more creative.

>>14632810
>>14632826
Yep the Guard are WW2 Impy Japanese army, with all that entails (light on mech, lots of bayonets, officers with swords ect), established in:
>>14632106

rolled 47, 21 = 68

>>14632857

So, a badass battle-brother who discovered and wiped out an entire xeno species. Kickass.

>>14632428
Where is that katana from?

>>14632866

I think it's from the old Howling Banshee set.

>>14632857
Ok then. Do we want to skip Homeworld generating and skip to Combat Doctrine?
Pic is what we got so far. If we skip Homeworld generating I'll add in the fluff you guys think up in this thread.

This Rising Sun guard would allow an interesting scenario; The Tau that are generally seen as the weeaboo wannabe-japs, would try to capture the guardsmen alive before they can disembowel themselves, reversing the stereotypical Murkan Guard - Jap Tau roles.

Also, how about some sort of a kamikaze Penal regiment? I admit, honorable death by explosions would be closer to the original Imperial Army but still...the mental image of screaming guardsman being forced to a plane filled with explosives...grimdark.

>>14632884

I propose that the Rising Sons battle-barges use macro cannon projectiles that are manned with a kamikaze volunteer that uses a small thruster to nudge the warhead in a more accurate direction. A lot of people want to die for the Emperor, here they get the chance to deliver a couple tons of explosive power to the enemy.

One can point out that macro cannon rounds are accelerated to near lightspeed, and so anyone inside would be liquified soon after leaving the barrel. I guess that only adds to the grimdark of it all.

>>14632883
Skip to combat doctrine

>>14632903

>>14632979
Right then. 1d10 for Combat Doctrine.

rolled 6 = 6

>>14632995

Tau are not Weaboo, they're hardcore Native American culture with a psuedo-Indian caste system and some mini-gundams. A single sorta-kind weaboo unit does not a weaboo army make.

The Eldar, on the other hand, you'd be hardpressed to find an aspect of their fluff or models that doesn't come from either Japan or China.

>>14632995
no roll just close combat.

>>14632995
I think choosing could work better in this one...can you describe Close Combat, Shock and Awe and Lightning Strike?

One of their battleships or battle barges should be called Kitakami.

>>14632998
>>14633011
>>14633014
Since the majority choose choosing.
Here's CC,S&A,LS

>>14633036
I think...lightning strike would work best. Early in the war, Japan just overwhelmed the enemy with troops filled with faith in the God-Emperor.

I just like the mental image of Space Marines charging with katanas.

>>14633036
Shock and Awe is no good because it's about orbital bombardment. we don't like that

The chapter was created by victoria lamb as part of white dwarf's 'Design a Chapter' competition. It was one of the winners/runners up of the competition and thus got immortalised in canon.

She has a collection of well painted minatures on her site, though the emperor's shadows seem to have been taken down.

>>14633054
Alright then. Lighting Strike it is. Roll a 1d100 for Solo Mode.

>>14633122
i think we should discard the first and last options there

Bump

>Post about my vague idea for a homebrew chapter.
>Go to sleep.
>Come back to see /tg/ actually working on it.

I love you guys. If you haven't settled on a scheme yet, I'll just bump my original scheme right here: >>14631734 but I'm sure you guys will pick something badass.
How's the chapter badge coming along? I'm thinking it should be an aquila in the style of a Samurai mon.

>>14632716
White Scars should definitely be their base chapter. The Space Wolves geneseed wouldn't fit with a samurai chapter (wolfen and whatnot).

>>14634705
We figured we would be useing the rising sun of old Japanese flags forthe chapter symbol.

We also figured that >>14632818
or >>14632384 would probably be best suited for the armor colors, since it would go better with the chapter symbol

Here's another concept for a possible Rising Sons scheme. I took inspiration from the many yoroi suits I've seen with black armor and golden lace. The shoulders are white so the red rising sun badge can be displayed over it.

>>14637334
I like that one a lot. Has there been any more work on them?

Anyone decide if the chapter would use Chaplains or Librarians?

>>14637851

Chaplains: very Zen.

Librarians: Yamabushi.

>>14631664
Japanese Kanji is identical to chinese kanji, just the chinese invented it hence...

>>14631967
Samurai were orginally cavalry warriors

>>14637906
Chaplains should definitely be based on the Japanese warrior monks. They wear the basic black n skulls chaplain armor, but wrap their heads or helmets in a cowl and use power glaives (naginatas).

>>14638059
So it fits well with the White Scars background.

>>14632818
The power swords/weapons should be the ones from the Grey Knights spru's... If you have seen them you would understand. They just have that look and feel to them.

>>14637334 First Company, or something like it. Eyes are not red, which would fit... Maybe a little more red in other places.

Maybe the other companys an amalgam of >>14632818 and >>14637334 ?

This thread's filling up. Official thread here: >>14638189

>>14638203
I don't think every company should have its own special snowflake color scheme. We should agree on one.

>>14631844

REALM DIVIDE

I can't be the only one who recognizes the Emperor's Shadows color scheme is the same as Hatsune Miku, right?

>>14638339

It's even got the blush and everything.
