Thanks for stopping by, was beginning to think you'd disappeared for good.
Minimalistic is what I'm going for. I want a unique, but not so much so, chapter of Biker Marines (with a Hell's Angels theme of course).
Shortening this section may be best, but since the IA is so short already, I'm reluctant to do so.
I was thinking of adding some beliefs that may lean in that direction. Kinda stuff like this:
- New marines receive a new name when they become full SMs. Leaving behind their old names and old lives to be born anew. Names kinda like Toe Cutter, Night Rider, etc.
- Push the we are brothers aspect of the chapter, even as far as seeing themselves as separate from other chapters.
Thoughts on this?
I thought I'd pretty much covered the bloodiness with the combat doctrine. Brutal, efficient killers etc.
Can't have a battlecry ... they don't speak at all in combat.
I'll repost the list from early on in the discussion for you.
- Silent Killers, silent to those outside the chapter .. no battle cries, etc. - Merciless killers, anything to reach their goal .. the Emperor's goal - Brutally efficient, Cold hearted, anyone or anything between them and their target is a target - Overwhelming force of arms, open with orbital bombardment, then drop pods, always on the attack - Heavy Biker squad numbers, no Devs and very few Tanks
Drug running was never part of my plan. It was a suggestion from CJJ.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the IA. I don't want them to be "oh we're special" marines, I'm perfectly happy with them being different, but not stand out different.
I think I'll add the bit about beliefs and names .... today or tomorrow.
