I think African influences would work best on Imperial Regiments. 13th and 19th century Ethiopia. Nubia. Wagadu city and its legend. Mask societies as a defense against Chaos and/or psykers. Serpent-like bayonets. Modern preference for paratroopers.

On the same page, despite /tg/ and others making Aztec-themed chapters, I think Mexica would work better as a template for a somewhat functional/stable Chaos society, and not due to sacrifices (though it is part of it). It could have a Chaos Marine warband at the top though.

Maybe I don't know their lore well enough, but aren't the Black Templars pretty close to the Inquisition?
>>96409486
The whole geneseed process makes them look sort of exaggerated or equine in appearance. Not a hard rule, but a lot of the astartes end up with exaggerated proportions that look inhuman.
>>
>>96414870
Like the other anon said, that's a 1/20 chance of dying on top of the other risks and tribulations you have to go through to become an astarte to begin with. It makes recruitment even harder when you've got even more bullshit to go through.

Vulkan is genetically a Mediterranean from Anatolia and maybe parts of North Africa. Everyone keeps saying Salamanders are the "African" legion, but they are not. Not even in name. This keeps getting peddled because they have an exotic fantasy culture with tribal/clan elements. I don't disagree per say, but everyone saying "Vulkan is black," his skin is obsidian. He's straight up a white/Middle Eastern dude in black face. I like them and all, liked them even when I still though they were the 'black' one, but even the Khan is an Anatolian dude pretending to be a steppe nomad. Which tracks for modern Anatolians.

Space Wolves have the benefit of being a first founding chapter and having a codex. Celesitial Lions, they're not just a successor chapter but a Fist successor chapter. They're prime canon fodder.

i didnt imply that, i never liked the imperium, whether it'd be heresy or 40k, the emperor is a retared ape and almost all loyalist legions are boring.

They're based because they're retarded. People who like them because they're 'efficient,' or 'actually good for the Imperium,' or whatever just want to wank someone like Ultrafags but want to be edgy doing it.

It's kind of pointless liking factions in 40k for how competent they are because then everyone just loses to Ultramarines. Far better to pick your brand of funny retard, imo.

These guys learned the Codex Astartes by heart and implement it so perfectly that they can even improvise their strategies (just as Guilliman wanted), but they only did it to mock the Ultramarines.

>Ultramarine: But the Codex Astartes doesn't support these actions!
>HoD: It does so in Chapter 321, Subchapter 215, Page 67, Paragraph 5.

>>
>>96443348
Is that even true? Last time I checked, they Follow the Codex to the letter rather than Spirit and that's why they lost to Farsight.
>>
>>96443717
If i'm not mistaken because of how strictly they followed the codex astartes Farsight ended up using a lot of their battles to deconstruct space marine tactics and write the mirrorcodex, e.g. the "how to beat space marines" book.
>>
>>96443781
Yeah, I remember Farsight reading it. So the opposite of "Just as Guilliman wanted" cuz what Guilliman wanted would be closer to Raptors.
That being said, Raptors tend to job
>>
>>96443805
did he actually read it? From memory of the farsight enclaves supplement farsight essentially went through thousands of hours of battledata and kept notacing different coloured space marines using the same or similar tactics, and so he complied his counter tactics into his own program.
It was pretty funny reading it in action though, tactics like "kill the white armoured marines to maximse casualties" and "use rail rifles against the blue ones throwing lightning out of their finger tips(DO NOT BELIEVE YOUR EYES)" was great.
>>
>>96443837
Wait my bad, I don't remember him reading it. You're right.
>>
>>96443863
I mean it would be pretty funny if Farsight, or a tau commander that has access to the mirrorcodex after Farsight sent a copy over, find a codex astartes and just slowly realise that they're enemy has just been following a go to manual for war.

I think it's usually the chapter culture and what makes them who they are.

After a while, you could only have so many version of space romans and space mongrels but their chapter culture and unique characters really make the chapter what it is beyond being the babies of whatever parent chapter they came from.
>>
>>96450772
>you could only have so many version of space romans
I wish the Ultramarines were actually allowed to be the Space Romans they're made out to be, every other major chapter gets to go all in on their theming with their models but the Ultramarines are stuck with the default generic models because they're the poster faction. I'd kill for something like an Ultramarine version of the old Black Templars upgrade box they sold back in 4th (IIRC).

Compared to the other major chapters that get attention from GW the Ultras have virtually nothing outside of their character models, and even then the character models tend to be quite restrained compared to the others. The Dark Angels, Space Wolves, and Black Templars all have massive piles of unique bits and kits for non-characters while the Ultramarines have like... one helmet and a gladius.

Keeping most of them plain for new players' sake is fine, but there should also be some extra kits available for people who really want to go full-on "ave, trve to Gvilliman" mode.

>>96454582
Thousand Sons would be an obvious choice since a WHF wizard actually met Magnus once but you could really get away with any. Iron Warriors might be a fun one to go with since they'd look the most out of place, or Red Corsairs since they're the most "modern" of the big name warbands. Conversely, a Word Bearers would probably be loving life in the old world where the Chaos Gods are given their "proper" respect
