Oh and I looked into it and there is already a chapter called Omega Marines so how about we rename omega into Omega Watch instead?

Omega's a placeholder for now, but Omega Watch isn't a bad name. Now, you've just got to come up with heraldry, customs, combat style and traditions.

They did something like that in "The Emperor's Gift" and it was actually a really cool section. Id say it should be a bit more diverse. Perhaps include a tank commander or really anyone in a tank? Even a single Astartes can differ in opinion of a battle. You could focus on a squad of Astartes and their viewpoints. If you were to do it like that, it would be best to have the said squad be a Deathwatch Kill Team, it makes things even more interesting, regarding the viewpoints and cultural differences between each Chapter. Heck, it would be fun to write about the views the Dark Angel and the Space Wolf have on each other  |

Most certainly. I like the idea, and Raven Guard could be pretty cool. Which company are they going to be drawn from? I'll be looking at doing a Traitor Sorcerer and his Chosen, a squad of mortals who're basically the equivalent of Storm Troopers, at least a couple rank and file cultists and a bunch of one offs, like civilians caught in the crossfire or the traitor's version of a medic or priest. No idea as to their fates, though it is likely that the Astartes will die one at a time, and one of the lowly cultists will outlive most of the rest of the Chaos cast. No idea. The Lexicanum wasnt too helpful with stuff but I wanted one without an important Captain so I can make my own. I need to do some more research into their other stuff before I can really shape them. I just have my general idea for the squad. Why not choose something other than Omega? Theres other Latin (im pretty sure thats Latin) words we could do. Or you could do like some chapters seem to do and randomly combine words haha And while deathwatch are coo, they just arent my cup of tea to choose. |

I just picked omega watch because it sounded cool. The Ultramarines and space wolves r my favourite chapters so I figured I'd like to do a Ultramarine successor. OW r a fleet based chapter on the borders of the sector and mostly deal with Xenos attacks, and since Chaos attacks one of their recruitment worlds its personal lol
Also the basic chapter symbol it can be an upright omega symbol instead of inverted like Ultramarines. Armor colours I was thinking battleship grey and gunmetal grey ?
But if u guys got other ideas do tell I'd appreciate the advice an feedback

The setting will probably be somewhere between 970 and 980 M41 (Tyranids kind of forces the year to be later on). I'd recommend a Battle Company, just not the Third (That's Shrikes). If there's nothing on the other companies, I'd say everything is fair game.
Minime and Ares, feel free to join in as well with a Deathwatch Kill Team. They don't have to be used against only Xenos, and could pull off special missions that even line Marines aren't fond of tackling.

The only problem I have with choosing a company is that theres no list that I could find to see which one would be suitable. I suppose if 9th is a Battle Company Ill just choose that one because random number selection haha

I could do 1st or 8th but otherwise. Perhaps its a replacement captain and and squad for Corvane of 5th company since hes most likely dead? Or it could be part of the 1st or 8th companies who just happened across the conflict and deployed in order to aid Omega and the Imperials? What seems the better choice to go with? |

You could always say it's made up of a Reserve Company Captain, with elements from the other reserve companies patched together into something approximating a Battle Company.

Up to you on how many RG u want to deploy if its just a few squads assign them to whatever company with a veteran sarge commanding and say they were entourage to their unit when they found the battle on the agri world and decided to join
Or have them from 8th co with a dreadnought who can argu with the Onega watch captain since the Dreadnsuggt could have vastly more knowledge of fighting chaos

I'm thinking of making the Mega watch captain on his first mission as captain to replace the old one that was KIA
Basically he's still used to being a Sergent not captain so that plus he's fighting on his home planet ought to make it hard for him
