norse space marines, vampire space marines, mongol space marines. It feels like there is an analogue for every race or culture out there. which ones are we missing and how should they be done? I know samurai marines are a thing a lot of people toy with, but what else? is there anything out there that you feel is under-represented or non-existant?
Norse space marines, vampire space marines, mongol space marines...
Emperors shadows is the samurai chapter
Native African space marines. Native American space marines. middle-eastern space marines. Inuit space marines. Russian (?) space marines.
I've seen pretty cool conversions for Aztec/Mayan Space Marines, once. Don't remember where. I generally like the idea of a tribal, ritualistic Chapter with sacrifices

They're essentially raiders attacking the logistics. Perhaps descending from White Scars or Ravens.

>Punic space marines
Had the idea when thinking of Ultras and romans. The Sons of Barca don't know they're actually descended of the "Phoenician". Void warfare, lots of ramming with ironclad-pattern ship.

Their chapter master is Pedro Kantor. Most Crimson Fists have a spanish name. Fuck off. You got what you asked for, go back to tumblr and cry about diversity to your tumblrtard friends.
>he doesn't know the difference between Spaniards and Mexicans
I dont care. Use the crimsom fists as either. Rinn's World hasnt been that elucidated on asode from SPANISH NAMES.
Use whatever and throw whatever shit you want on your dudes. Justs dont be a faggot about it like you are now
>I got corrected, time to lash out!
calm down, dude, we're talking about make-believe stories for our plastic dollies
Crimson fists are somewhat spanish and mexican
Howling Griffons are Spanish
I mean... I guess some cultures practiced vampirism? I don't think it defined any of them, though. At least none of the big ones. You actually don't have many Space Marine chapters based directly off of real world cultures ala Space Wolves or White Scars, which in my opinion is a good thing. The more originality in any fictional setting, the better. Even though some "original" chapters more or less amount to a gimmick or a theme. But like I said before, the more originality the better.
I've put together a Hindu SM chapter, for my sector that draws heavily on Persia, Indian, and Celtic myth for its history. Works out fairly well.
