Lore wise, which chapters would make for the best heavy appearance?

Lore wise, which chapters would make for the best heavy appearance?

Titles a bit vague but what I’m trying to say is “lore wise” what chapters are known or make the most use of heavy weaponry/Gravis armor? I have 2 traitor 2 loyalist looks for each class and try to have the chapters/war bands make the most sense with what class I have them on (Ex. Mantis sniper, ultra tactical, Malevolent vanguard, rust oxen tech) and am having trouble with heavy, I usually prefer successor chapters over the original legions just personally as I like to use the opportunity to learn about successor chapters. So was wondering what you guys suggest? I know the star phantoms and Sons of Medusa use lots of heavy fire power and the black dragons/Sons of Antaeus are unnaturally large and already have a star phantom heavy right now but am looking for more suggestions. And just extra intro I’m using death guard and a EC noise marine look for the traitor schemes.

(Attempted) Accurate Captain Krijeni Luceior & Death Of Bianzeer Squad

(i know qualities bad) Captain Krijeni Luceior is one of our more storied Members who fought on the planet Death Of Bianzeer alongside the wolf spears and deathwatch, He possesses The Master Crafted Ravens Reach Stalker Bolt Rifle and Ice Piercer Power sword(I misread it as chainsword) and on his armor he is described to have a necklace of kraken beaks, a fin on his helmet and was inspired by the trophy taking of his space wolf/raven guard during his time as a grey shield.

The bolt Carbine is awesome, what is the best weapon/perk combos to make it actually good?

As title says, I’m working my way through max prestige on every class and my 4th is Bulwark, the One handed bolt carbine is fun although kinda “not the best” to say the best, Bulwark doesn’t have a lot of ranged weapon perks so I was wondering what a good Melee weapon + build/playstyle would be best to make the most of the carbine, I heard it’s better on Assault but Ive got diff loadouts I’ve set for assault right now

To fellow heavy mains what is your heavy Bolter loadout?

As title says, since I’ve got the game I have been running the accuracy Heavy Bolter and inferno pistol(was running bottom row perks for Bolter for some reason, now running top)before I discovered the peak that was the pyre cannon, but my heart was always with the heavy Bolter. And so I was wondering what everybody else runs for load outs/perks along with any recommendations as I always want to be better for the battle brothers. I recently switched to plasma pistol rate of fire(I don’t have the heroic yet/getting later today) and am still a bit iffy on it as I was never a huge fan of the plasma but heard it was great for Contested Health so have been playing around with it. I had also tried starting using Chains of duty and have been trying to use it well as it does feel like a completely different play style with more up close combat, my gripe with chains is that even though the fencing window is beyond amazing it really does feel like every other aspect of the gun feels worse with the highest criminal being Overheating and so it just seems like accuracy is better in every situation besides close quarters combat. So PLEASE tell me what kind of loadouts/perks for the heavy Bolter you guys have been running or suggest for me, it’s my fav gun in the whole game and always down to play around with whatever.

Help with colour scheme! The Shriven(Formless distortion)

Need help with a colour scheme I keep messing up, I’ve always been fascinated by the other chaos powers with Fabious Bile accidentally creating the 40K version of Formless distortion under the name “Pater Mutatis” The shriven are basically Fabulous Bills personal hit squad that he mutated to hell and back but they have no color scheme and could REALLY use some help. I tried to take inspiration from Mr bill but they always ended up looking like chopped Emperors children, my other inspos were his gland hound, Morghur/The Beastmen from Fantasy and the Homonculus Covens of the dark Eldar with Bill training under them and the Night Lords with them being a good fit with all of the taking of skin, but can’t get anything solid down, my goal is to have a marine legion dedicated to the pater mutatis but all I’ve managed to nail down was a black helmet/Mask taken from the homonculus covens/Gland hounds

Despite other sons of Vulcan, what Chapters would we actually get along with?

As title says, as The war on Armageddon are sure to gain us a few friends, what other chapters would you say we would get along with/Work well together with. Obviously the other salamander successors and the The wolf spears being one of the groups we have actually worked with before, and maybe unpopular opinion, I don’t think The Dark Krakens and Charcharodons would get along at all, with the only thing in common being a Nautical theme, but if you want a Nautical theme the Sea wolves Company is also known for hunting large aquatic beasts.

GW! GIVE ME SONS OF ANTAEUS CHAPTER BADGE! AND MY LIFE, IS YOURS!

(Eliphusz-Deviant art) Sons of Antaeus are my second fav chapter and it pains me that even though they are part of one of the more popular foundings they have yet to receive a chapter badge or a colour scheme besides (Black/Grey) The sons of Antaeus are suspected Death Guard Successors being stoic, large even for Astartes and being able to Tank horrific amounts of Damage, they drop into war zones and slowly grind their way through enemy lines as they crash against them and leave without a word. The Sons of Antaeus only have lore in the form of Them helping the Subjugators and enrolling in the Death Watch routinely. For now as a patiently wait for anything to be mentioned I will Continue to Run around SM2 with Black/Grey & Deathwatch Pauldron as I set my Ai bots to the same or the Subjugators so I can Pretend to save their asses again.

What’s the Relation of the Evil sun and the Greenskins?

As title says, I know of Mork/Gork, Spider god, and the bad moon but I occasionally hear that the evil sun is also treated as a god and I believe there’s an Orc clan in total war with its name, but I can only ever find info on The evil sunz clan in 40K, so I was wondering what the relationship is and how the greenskins interact with it.

Be’lakor themed DLC pitch(Redone)

I always felt that Be’lakor was supposed to be this big bad Daemon yet didn’t do anything or have any followers besides just Other gods daemons, so I looked into Some lore and games (Albion/Mordheim/Vermintide) to try and give him a unique Identity, I know he mainly uses Daemons but I always felt like that was just kinda boring Especially because there’s not a lot of undivided Daemons in general. Aside from a Rework There would be a special Building in Mordheim that Boosts the stats of Magisters/Brethren/Dark souls. And a few random missing chaos units I had no other place to mention.

How do you guys feel about the 2 DLC tribes?

As title says, haven’t played in a while and saw that the SOW edition with all the DLC was on a massive sale and wanted to know what you guys thought about the 2 new orc clans? Slaughter seems cool but are slaughter and outlaw interesting about to do a new playthrough in your opinion?

Some Hypothetical DOW4 Chaos faction rosters I made

As title says, I’m “kinda” Excited for DOW4 and its future factions so made some mock ups, try to ignore any dumb tier 1-3 markers I made, these were made days/Weeks apart when I was bored and didn’t do cross checking lmao

DOW4 Tau Roster Pitch(Pt1?)

I was doing some chaos mock ups earlier but wanted to do a Xenos and there was a recent post on this subreddit about the Tau for DOW4 I thought I’d hop in with a Quick Roster pitch, I wanted to do a bit more work like faction abilities but didn’t flesh it out too much because I was too focused on one thing, the other Xenos in Tau, the Ghostkeel, Riptide and XV-15 were originally not in here and were Humans, Vespids, and Krootox and I played around with the different units but there are people who don’t want the Auxiliaries, personally the Auxiliaries are probably my fav aspect of the tau and when I started looking into it there was a fair amount to do, I had 1/3 actual tau to keep the faction theme and the rest auxiliaries but I just couldn’t get it down, I think it would be awesome if we got a full tau faction like the one I posted and then later got a sub faction focused on the Auxiliaries where they could partner with games workshop to finally give form to the other Xenos in the faction and hype up the model releases. I’d love to know how you guys would do the sub faction for the tau.

How could I make this more “Tau” for the Gue’vesa?

As title says, my little head canon is that the humans can’t stop building shitty little tread tanks like it’s in their DNA and so how could I make this look more “tau” and what could I proxy it as?

I’m already using a Dawnstar overhaul mod along with Stave churches and Hamlets but I’m still hungry for a bit more, any suggestions?

DOW4 Imperium Factions pitches

We already know we are kinda getting guard since we have already seen vehicles, and I’m pretty excited to see sisters as they are all I played in the remaster and cannot wait to do AI 4v4’s of Marines/Admech/guard/Sisters vs an all Ork Wagghhhhhhg, when it comes to grey knights and custodians they were more of a thought experiment and I doubt we will see either especially grey knights sadly, I thought about doing Imperial agents as a fun wild card but obviously did not get far as the unit roster was way less than I imagined.

(ES6) I hope there’s a Hearthfire mechanic but with race specific housing

As title says, I always loved making player homes mine but as somebody who always played Argonians/Orcs my houses always ended up feeling more just like a trophy room, I loved hearthfire but became disappointed with the 1 styling, I recently downloaded a mod for Argonian styled housing and immediately felt so much more immersed in my character, I get that the building styles would be generic/Nordic since it’s Skyrim but I really hope in ES6 if we get the chance to have a small plot of land with a hearthfire styled home builder that there’s Race specific building types even if they are small. You could have your own characters race style unlocked with having to complete a small quest or buy the schematics for the other styles. That’s pretty much all
