...In the new WD (296) there is a competition being run between Sept1 and Dec1 to create new chapters.
The competition is being run by GW Northern Europe and the winning entries will be printed in a futrue WD and made 'official'.
All that needs to be done is to send photos of a tactical marine, a command model and a support marine (assault/devastator). Along with details of the chapter's colour scheme, heraldry and designation markings.
Additional Information such as background, Index Astartes are welcome but not necessary.
Well! Lets get cracking on FB and try and get them official!

Well the first thing that needs to be done is to colate all the relevant info from all the threads and forge it into something cohesive, we still need to decide on the chapter symbol, but i think thanks to CELS we shouldn't be that far off deciding.

Brilliant idea. I have enough Space Marines lying around to paint up a tactical marine and a support marine, and doing some digital pictures of chapter heraldry shouldn't take me many minutes. Destecado also offered to paint up a tactical marine or two, just to get a picture of what works.
I do think we should take this all the way though, so we should finish the Index Astartes before we go through with this.
If we can pull this off, it would be a huge, huge, huge boost for the ASP! ;D

Yup it would be a good and welcome boost if the Anargo Sector was mentioned in WD!
All those kids may just rush out and buy FB novels and comics, then go home and re-paint their BA with light blue and white:)

Errm lets not carried away, we have to decide what will be included in the background of the chapter and we still have no decision on the symbol yet

Perhaps we could re-motivate Sikkukkut and Rogue Trader to work upon this concept? We would also need the Chapter homeworld to be detailed following the Guide so that it is 'there'...

Yowza. This sounds like it could be pretty cool. Getting the second-draft IA done should be interesting - I head off on holidays (and well and truly away from computers) for seven weeks a fortnight from today so that gives me a good firm deadline Can you post the exact wording of the competition?

If you're up for this, Sikkukkut, then I suggest that you get together with someone to work in parallel with the guidelines of the ASP. It really would defeat the purpose of the project if their 'official SM Chapter' was entirely contradictory.

It really would defeat the purpose of the project if their 'official SM Chapter' was entirely contradictory. Maybe it's just been the long and largely caffeineless day, but I don't quite follow. My plan, such as it is, is to post Index Astartes - Frost Bringers 2.0 before I leave, at which point it's over to the rest of you to go to town on it in my absence and submit it. If I don't get it done in time then you go to town on what you have at the moment Was that what you meant? While I think of it, btw, anyone know any good places to stay in Birmingham?

why not just have the concept sketches passed around? could be fun, and kinda neat to see what each others done ;D

It would be great to get the anargo project recognised by GW. This comp sounds really interesting, Im willing to paint some things up if its needed, or help with it in any other way.
