SaviourAnarchy returns to the fore

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Ladies, germs, and gentlemen of the broad. I have returned to Warhammer!

After taking a break for a few months I have had time to refresh myself and focus on other things. I am now returning to kick some face.

Ever loyal to our beloved God-Emperor, I am restarting with a fresh Space Marine project. I say fresh, they have existed for a long time, but I want them on the table.

For those of you who don't know, I am talking about my own homebrew Chapter, the Sons of Proteus. I am stuck however, I want a really unique and inspired colour scheme that isn't just 50 Shades of Space Grey. They have undergone 3 different colour schemes over the years, none that have particularly caught me. Any help would be hot.

For note: Proteus looks like Mustafar

So basically you want to play white Salamanders with Iron Hand special rule....

Don't try to be too much of an arse.

In his defence, it's pretty difficult to make a custom chapter that couldn't be compared to at least one other, simply because the existing ones cover so much ground. I think it's pretty obvious he's put a lot of thought into the backround and what he wants though.

As for colour-schemes, if you want something different that might be a bit of a challenge, how about using coloured metallic somewhere in the scheme? I believe Forge world have attempted this with a few of the legions (Alpha legion with that metallic blue come to mind) and it looks pretty nice.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Coloured metallic could work, decent thought dude. :)

And no Charon, they don't use Flamers as staple weapons, they like Bolters, Assault Cannons, and Polearms. If anything they are closer to Iron Snakes than the Salamanders. Just because they live on a volcanic world, doesn't make them the Salamanders. (which was actually based off of Mustafar as posted above, and Jund from Magic the Gathering)
Clearly someone isn't versed on Chapters or reading. xD

Maybe a metallic red or yellow then? to go with the volcanic theme.

I put the project on the drawing board again, decided to do something other than Marines for a ****ing change.

Dark Eldar ahoy!
