ok.. so this is actually supposed to be labeled starting a new space marine army other then the chapter you already have... but that was long and for some reason it decided to start itself with the wrong name.. i blame a faulty pinky finger and lack of sleep on it.. (hitting the enter key prematurely) anyway what im trying to get at is.. does anyone see anything morally wrong with having an army as one chapter and them having another army of a different.. for example say i have an Imperial Fist army.. which i do and love... but i kinda want to start a different chapter too.. say maybe the Raven Guard... is it morally kosher for me to do that.. or should i just take what i like about the Raven Guard and mold it into something i can use in my imperial fist army to give myself some extra depth and changeability to my current army... just wondering on your opinions.. good or bad.. on the idea...

yer i dont see anything wrong with it.

but if i were you i would steer away from marines and try another army

[Dezart Fox]

Nothing wrong with having different chapters, each space marine army can be totally different, especially if your thinking Black Templar or Dark Angels, they have different rules all together, well, almost.. but you get the idea, you could go in different directions and have a drop podding marine army, or an army with six dreadnoughts and techmarines

[warriorchris]

yeah, there is nothing wrong with it at all

I've got an ultramarine army, but I'm gonna Camo them up and rename them to the icefist marines, and trait them out too. Just imagine, Scary winter blue camo...... ;D

I play Ultramarines primarily but just for a change i decided to start trying them with traits to see if i liked it. I decided i liked the Blood Ravens traits and i enjoyed the dawn of war game so i played a 10 mission campaign as Blood Ravens and loved it. So... i built myself a Ravens army too and it's cool, i love changing between the two armies and i think it's made me a better gamer too.

I'd suggest trying your current army with different traits and/or proxies if need be in the same way as i did before you commit to going and buying a load more troops!

Go for it and good luck!

I plan to have 2 copmplete battle companies on top of a 1000pt list when I'm done Space Marines. One battle company is the Rosen Knights 5th Battle Company, and the other is more or less in my head for now...still thinking about traits (if any) and what not, or what chapter I should base it off of lol

[Chaplain Icarus]

I am actually in the same boat. I have been a devoted dark angel player since the dawn of time or at least 1998,but with the new rules so craptacular (at least in my opinion you know being that a dark angels can destroy certain armies but get mopped up without a chance by others) as well as my avid fondness for creating your own chapter.
I am developing my own chapter and probably actually consolidating my dark angels and salvaging what is there that doesn't have dark angel icons on it, stripping them down and turning it into a gigantic full fledged marine army that I have built to represent myself, with a tiny brother dark angel army to smile down upon.

well, if you have an elite combat army done, then why not go for a shooty one, based on Imperial fists maybe?
