The story about Astral Claws and their rebellion was one of the most interesting to me and one of the reasons I started collecting Red Corsairs army.
But I really feel like Astral Claws losing the planet, becoming another generic chaos warband and fleeing to eye of terror maelstrom is really boring. We already have traitor legions from Horus Heresy, why do we need another one?
My idea is - wouldn't it be much more interesting if they became some sort of renegade Imperium Secundus, but in giant space-pirate empire bay kind of way?
What do you think guys?
Hello pirate nation! I'm sure someone already asked about it before, but I want to bring this up again.
​
What do you think about full codex of Red Corsairs, local traitor guardsmen and planetary defence, maybe some xenos like crocodile from Huron's crew? I feel like Red Corsairs alone are a bit to small for a faction, supplement at max. But maybe with chaos guards and a few special squads it would be much more unique and interesting?
​
I'd like to hear your thoughts and ideas!
I came back after 6th edition of 40k and there's this new generation of space marines. I'm curious, is there any renegade warbands of them, maybe singular traitors? Or they are just itchy-witchy perfect new boys in shining armor?

Also I hate their new magnet-pad tanks, they are ugly 🥲
