As I posted in another thread, I recently received a copy of Space Hulk. However, I have never been a fan of the Blood Angels paint scheme (not enough contrast for all that red). But I wanted to keep all the extra insignia sculpted on the minis, so I put together the following:
Chapter Name: Emperor's Tears
Founding Chapter: Blood Angels
Founding: 23rd
Chapter Master: Unknown
Homeworld: Lachrymosa
Fortress-Monastery: Unknown
Main Colors: Tan, Red & White trim
Specialty: Assault
Background
The Emperor's Tears suffer from the same flaw that afflicts most of the other sons of Sanguinus. They excel in close-quarters fighting, and are often deployed in theatres that allow them to play to this strength, such as urban assaults, and ship-to-ship actions.
Notable Engagements
The cleansing of the genestealer-infested Space Hulk codenamed
Endless Night. Terminators of the 1st Company and one of the chapter's Librarians obtained biological samples that greatly enhanced the knowledge of the genestealer genetic sequencing.
I haven't decided on a scheme for the Tyranids yet, but I'm working on that. Hopefully, I'll get to paint some of these guys soon, and we'll see how they turn out.
