OddJars Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just a quick question. Are homemade chapters possible in 40k. I'm pretty new to the hobby but I'm planning on buying the Space Marine Codex and making my own custom chapter since I enjoy creating custom stories and factions to immerse myself into the lore of a universe more but I'm not sure if people dislike playing against players who use custom made armies. I still plan to follow the rules of the Space Marines though I just don't want to use a chapter that is already in the official lore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Go for it. There are ~1000 Chapters in operation at any given time, and only something like 150 of them or so have even been named. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Quite the opposite- I find more players use a "custom" chapter than adhere to an official one (or, at the very least, use their own spin on a canonical chapter.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generalripphook Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I will frown upon you making a homemade chapter without naming your captains, chapter master's and having some bomb ass fluff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I like Custom Pre Heresy Legions. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm pretty sure that the whole reason GW did the second, third, etc. founding chapters is specifically so you could do whatever you wanted. I love custom SM chapters, color schemes, and fluff. Do it to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more custom the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
