I can't decide which chapter to paint them up as... so I need your help. I might even start a twitter poll and link it to the blog and start posting up some work in progress pictures there, as well as writing some fiction on the forum.
These are my thoughts.
Crimson Fists. I have a soft spot for these guys. They were on the cover of the original Warhammer 40k rogue trader edition, having their last stand around the banner which brings back fond memories. As a chapter that were nearly annihilated it makes lots of fluff sense to choose them to be reinforced by Primaris marines, and means that I can use the primaris guys as one detachment and then collect some regular marines heavy on the veterans and scouts to represent the chapter in a rebuilding stage. It also means that I can play a nice narrative campaign against my Dad's sizable ork horde as the cleansing of Rynn's World. Oh and their colour scheme is pretty nifty too.
Scythes of the Emperor famously got near-annihilated by tyranids (I seem to favour the underdogs here) and I wrote a bit of short fiction for them trying to get into a black library submission window a few years ago. However after Laurie Golding got his hands on them a few years ago they have become much more popular as a chapter. And I don't really want to mainly be painting marines in black.
Black Dragons these guys I have a current story on the forum for. They are totally undefined in the lore and only seem to pop up in a few BL stories. Unfortunately their armour is also black.
Somebody else maybe I need to look a little bit further from the beaten path. Maybe I should create a new Primaris only chapter and write some fan fiction for the forum. That at least means that I wouldn't have to paint anything black!
Thoughts?
IN fact I have also put a twitter poll up so go vote! @BlBolthole
