i havent gotten to flushing out rules and what not yet as i just wrote this a few days ago
i was originaly calling the chapter the blood reapers and was using a bloodred/ gunmetal, colorsceme.but when i sat down and came up with the idea for the background i looked at the list of the original chapters and the word bearers wher originaly crimson. so a little waterd down blackwash close enough for me
good points dan, your right about the emperor. but the TB's wher lost in the warp and missed that hole chunk of history. so they came out to humanity worshiping the emperor. wich to them was blasphemy and they had already attacked and cleansed 3 worlds before they wher confronted buy the imperial spacemariens, by that time they wher already branded as traitors. and ther plees fell on deff ears. and lets face it centuries in the warp had left its mark on ther sanity. the chaos gods nutured ther fanatical belife in the imerial truth and had contact with the legion letting them belive they wher nothing more than mass xeno inteligences.khorne humself would on accasion leed them to worlds in the warp that wher fanatical worshipers of tezeech or slanesh just for the carnage he knew would ensue.
