or 40k lizardmen?

>>14747429

Here have some more

also; see rainbow warriors

Another one?

mayinkatek?
Eh.
Don't really see the appeal TBH.

Sounds pretty cool. Not too familiar with Aztec culture and mythology so I don't know what would be fitting.

aztec lizards too?

Wasn't Aztec marines covered in the "Lost Primarch" quest, or whatever the fuck it was called?

Or maybe chaos followers?
Basically they were "BLOOD FOR THE SUN GOD"
instead of "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD"
Same concept, but the aztecs were gentlemen

>>14747473
well what do you want to know? ask me anything.

>>14747429
But then no one would play the other chapters!
>>14747450
But then no one would play any of the other armies!

>>14747429
>>14747600
Now that I think about it... They would be pretty cool
They could fit so well in the 40K universe

Of course, why use awesome Aztec designs to make a new and interesting faction when you could just make another space marine chapter.

>>14747429
We need to go DEEPER

Instead of Latin, translate everything in Nahuatl.

>>14747450
Already existed, except they were the Slanns.

because back then, lizardmens were also slanns in WFB

only not as fat

guys

guys

ok guys

listen to me

Guys

How about

guys

how about we finish a goddamn chapter first?

>>14747492

Yeah, the NPC missing Primarch had an Aztec-themed Legion.

>>14747674
Because Humans are the best race.
And humans with aztec designs will make them even better

Seems like a nifty idea to me OP. They look pretty cool.

Or Mayan designs. And they can foresee a prophesy of great destruction in 40012, it'll be thuper duper cool.

>>14747714
survival of the most entertaining project

>>14747721
I want this to be /tg/ fanon

But otherwise, those could simply be un-faggy BA successos

yeah and their cainswords are shaped like maquahuitls.

>>14747760
just look at the OP pic.

also, eagle warriors with beakies and jetpacks

Fuck the space marines

Another human faction living outside of the Imperium who wants to reunite humanity with science.

And of course the imperium doesn't like that.

>>14747674
So much of the art is human / terra biome specific it would be rather difficult to make a new faction with the art as the motivation for the creation. If another faction arose, and the art could be applied to it with thematic congruity... that would be awesome. Until then...

Acolnahuacatl calls, and so we answer.

>>14747429

>>14747791
another boring regular sci-fi faction that tries to be even more dull and reasonablebright than the tau.

NO.

SLANNS YOU DUMB FUCKS

Slanns, as in the Old Ones.

THEY ARE PART OF 40K CANON SINCE ROGUE TRADER

and they were a playable race.

>>14747809
>reasonable
I was thinking more like
>Join us under our rules or we will rip your hearts and give them to Huitzilopochtli

Something like that

>>14747827
isn't this just the Imperium with another name?

>>14747807
Rainbow Warriors just sounds a little... gay. Could we stick to the Jaguar / Eagle type?

>>14747827
what does science have to do with that?

also, if you want a xenos faction: >>14747825
But now, they are more like isolated regressed dudes that barely know how to use spaceships anymore or their best weapons anymore.

>>14747845
meh, I was just thinking of a reason. The imperium basically conquers throught religion, so they could do the opposite.

Honestly, Space Marines need to move away from all the culture/religion wankery. It always ends up as hurr my cultures more badass/etc. Then in come in insults like weaboo etc., possibly racist remarks etc. Maybe even competition, "hurr my norse sm are better then your mongolian ones". Its just a mess and unneeded.

>>14747870
You've got the tau.

>>14747893
Fine, I guess you're right.

What if they fight just because they like to fight? The aztecs made wars just for the sake of it. I'm sure that would be original right?

>>14747883
except that it's never serious, and always played for laughs.

I think that you're a tau player, because they're the only ones that get seriously hated because of their (opportunistic) cultural influences.

>>14747910
orks

>>14747929
What if they feel superior to the rest of the races, even the Imperium, and feel that they need to purge everything?

>>14747955
dark eldars

>>14747975
Fuck it, I'm out of ideas

>>14747983
japanese marines are an excellent idea, the only problem is that most people trying this just glue a few plastic cards on the pauldrons and add katanas. If you want to be more hip than them, either find a better culture-wankery, or get out of the hobby, because 40K is just fucking full of it.

>>14747429
That is definetly an interesting idea. We should have some kind of archive for the random ideas that pop from /tg/

they may look aztec, but they're actually Persian. Their primarch was Zoroaster and they believe you cross a rainbow bridge to god when you die

>>14748020
>If you want to be more hip than them, either find a better culture-wankery

Aztecs perhaps?

How about the world the chapter recruits from committed human sacrifices to the emperor? Maybe their psychers can only function when blood is spilled. They would be a successor chapter to the blood angels and would depict their primarch as a multicolored serpent or something. They would combat the influence of Khorn by only letting their powerful psychers handle sacrificial rites.

The arrival of the primarch could be like the coming of Cortez to the Aztecs, prophesied to the exact date and such with a near exact description. Except the primarch's arrival wouldn't screw them over. He could have re-porpoused the blood rites to worshiping the Emperor to diminish taint. A chapter master or lone space marine would work just fine.

>>14748095
that sounds, not bad

>>14748095
Their veteran companies would be the Jaguar Knights and the Eagle Knights. The Jaguar Knights would use melee infantry and the Eagle Knights would use Assault Marines.

>>14748090
yes.

>>14748095
Perhaps some dissension in the ranks?

>>14748160
without the Space Wulfies furfaggotry, yes.

>>14748137
>>14748095
Fuck it, where do I give you my money and how can I convince GW?

>>14748137
To fit in with Aztec myths of shape changers the Eagle Knights would be thinner than the average marine with feather like hair and sharp facial features while the Jaguar Knights would have larger canines and yellowed eyes.

They would have very good relations with the Space Wolves, having a sort of "friendship" with the chapter.

Any name ideas? Maybe something in Nahautl? Feathered Serpents maybe? Their main colors could be blue, green and red. Their armor would have very orderly paint designs along with anointments from each individual's tribal regalia from their past life.

They could have a hate on for Khorn, since he needlessly spills blood and wastes it. They would also prefer taking prisoners to sacrifice. Khornites their favorite.

>>14748254
I have the perfect name
>Xiuhcoatl
It was the weapon wielded by Huitzilopochtli, the main deity of the aztecs.
He was the war deity by the way

>>14748254
>Khornites their favorite
Sounds good for me

>>14747429
>Get tired of 40k because Nids keep getting kicked in the nuts by GW
>Come to /tg/
>See this thread

... I swore I would never play marines, but DAMN is this idea tempting. I even have enough leftover lizardmen bits to make it work...

>>14748327
I'm sure you wouldn't be the only one. The idea seems pretty neat

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU i was having the same idea. from a month ago. and i just now manage to convince a draw friend to draw something.

>>14748254

Signing in, could some one archive this shit? I want to see what comes of this yet I need sleep, ling day of character rolling and approving ahead of me.

I also feel like one of those original content do not steal fags right now... Should we stat up the chapter for Deathwatch after we fluff out and paint scheme?

Another idea: they could have an oddly high amount of psychers, possibly due to warp storms in a near by system that are just near enough to touch them but far enough away not to turn everything to shit.

The hatred of the Blood God could go both ways as well, with Khorn's chosen picking out these guys first and cutting them down with rage beyond normality. Due to the common nature of their sacrifices and their hatred of Khorn, the few [name] that fall to chaos usually end up in the service of Tzneetch, due to his close appearance to their religious figures and the psychic powers he grants.

Their priest kings (librarians) could show odd mutations such as feathers and serpentine fangs as well. This is overlooked by the inquisition since it's the side effect of a gene-seed mutation, not chaos.

gee.. if only I already hadn't already done this... wait....... huh. That was easy.

And yes, from Blood Angel successor chapter to a hate on for Khorne, I've already been down this road.

And it is glorious.

>>14748506
>>14748506
But are they Jaguar knights?

>>14748467
That's the name of Quetzalcoatl's war-god form (Aztec gods had many forms with distinct domains and personalities). He was killed by the sun after he tried to knock him out of the sky with an atl-atl. Since that god is stupid (IE he did stupid things and died for it) I think it would be a bad representation of the chapter, especially for those who know about Aztec religion.

>>14748533
sniff. no. awesome, but no.

RRRRRGHHGHH... now I need 10 pairs of lightning claws and more lizardmen bits. thanks.

>>14748506
Then mind showing us some of your models so we can shamelessly steal their designs four our own Mexica Marines?

>>14748573
I'm not gonna get home till around 11:30. If the thread is still around then, I'll try to get some stuff up.

>>14748563
Do you have any macahuitl (sp?) chainswords? I'm particularly interested in how to make those without just using full on Lizardman weapons.

>>14748599
what time is it there?

>>14748604
I used the Lizardmen bits. I could probably make a macahuitl chainsword, but I'm out of casting materials right now.

Also, my Furioso Librarian has a Throne on the front with an effigy of the "Emperor" entombed upon it.

>>14748599
God damn it /tg/ stop making me loose sleep over this stuff. I knew my obsession with Mesoamerican culture and mythology would breed only pain!

>>14747429
I wasn't aware of how awesomely imperial iconography went through an aztec filter. This stuff is awesome.

>>14748613
9ish

>>14748634
HNNNNNNNNNNGH-

I have a friend who did this for his Space Wolves.

Pics are of his models.

Rule wise I think this would work best using spacewolves as the Codex. wolf-priests become Sun-priests. Give you lots of room to work in fluff into your army

that's what i have on my computer right now.

>>14748778
>>14748769
>>14748760
...nice. much better than mine.

Archived, I archived the fuck out of this thread. Or at least I think I did.

>>14748769
I love that one in particular

found a couple pics of his rhino

Look at the first guardsmen

>>14748966
holy shit

>>14748966
so.... Our homeworld is confirmed for Patria?

>>14749153
sounds accurate

>>14748966
just felt like posting the picture since it seemed relevent. Also funny that the Guard almost literally has a army for every real world army

>>14749201
I now wanna see amish guardsmen

>>14747429
Good luck painting all that shit

>>14749212
They'd probably be like squats since amish don't like tech such as lasers and space ships, so the inquisit

Space Wolves vs Blood Angels

What codex would work best for this new army?

On one hand, we have the blood lust of the Angels, with the chance to lose their sanity due to the blood lust. They also have the sanguinary priests.

On the other, we have the space wolves; their thunderwolf cavalry would work great for Thunderlizard riders. Their Runepriests could work well for high priests.

So, debate. which would work best?

>>14749298
space wolves is better. Their love for blood is refined, unlike the khornite's followers

I though Space Wolves couldn't have successor chapters, due to geneseed impurity?

>>14749365
He's saying codex(rules) he should run his marines under. Even made up marines have to follow a codex, even angry marines

>>14749415
wait, the angry marines are made up?

>>14749553

So, As stated, I have returned.

Bear in mind, the painting isn't great... I"m improving.

Behold, my Furioso Librarian
