Warhammer & Warhammer 40k are rife with puns, homages, and word 
play. The game universe is awash with references to literature, pop 
culture, historical figures, world cultures, & myths. In this 
section, I draw inspiration from various sources to imagine them as new 
armies of the Imperium.
Today I'm breaking from my usual format to create 10 chapters from a 
single source: George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.
Continued from here 
Dragonfathers
House: Targaryen
Colors: Red with Black torso and helmet.
Concept:
 Upon their arrival in the Western Aeros sector it was discovered the 
chapter's librarians were capable of forming a telepathic bond with an 
indigenous species of firedrake found on the Southern steppes of their 
new home. Their psykers ride the beasts ahead of the troops and lay 
waste to enemy lines before they arrive. 
Reciprocators
House: Lannister
Colors: Maroon and Yellow halved
Concept:
 No slight is too small to warrant retaliation for this chapter. They 
are ruthless in their pursuits, and have terminated entire planetary 
governments due to a Governor's slanderous words. No one knows how the 
Reciprocators are able to exact such precise and exact revenge, but it 
is rumored that the Chapter Master consults a wizened Watcher in the 
Dark on all of their battle strategies.
Reaper Lords
House: Greyjoy
Colors: Black with Gold accents and grills
Concept:
 This chapter made its home amongst an asteroid field in the 
Northeastern region of the sector. Each of the 10 companies is led by a 
"king" and are housed in their own cruisers that navigate the sea of 
rock. Once every six years they gather at the Kraken, their fortress at 
the heart of the storm. 
Celestial Falcons
House: Arryn
Colors: Light blue with White shoulders & legs
Concept:
 Of late, the Falcons have not engaged in any of the power grabs of the 
other houses. They remain in their mountaintop monastery, seemingly 
unmotivated to vie for position amongst their peers. Some have noted 
that Chapter Master Johan has not been seen for many years, leading to 
the speculation that there is unrest in their leadership. 
Shield Wardens 
House: Tyrell 
Colors: Green with Orange chest & shoulder trim 
Concept:
 Established on the most fertile Argi-World in the sector, the Shield 
Wardens wield enormous influence, and are not afraid to use it. More 
devious than they are given credit for, they are nevertheless one of the
 most stabilizing forces in the region.
Bonus Chapter
River Runners
House: Tully
Colors:  Light blue & Red halved
Concept:
 The shrewd River Runners make their home on the aquatic world of 
Trident. They excel in all aspects of diplomacy, although their record 
was marred recently when second company Captain Piscis Perniger left the chapter after coming to blows with the Chapter Master. He continues his dutiful service to the Emperor as he wanders throughout the system.


 
Kinda love what you are doing here. Just making my way through the GOT audio books while I paint.
