I've never seen that one before

>>1348826
i see what you did there

ARTIFACT MARURNS

:(

Scary Marines

>>1348806
Bump because I want a new wallpaper

I wouldn't want to meet them in a dark alley, if you know what I mean. Or would I?

i want this too

You gonna get gang loved tenderly.

>>1348806
"hey guys! hey guys! have you got any multilasers I could borrow? hey, why are you looking at me like that? hey, what are you doing?! oh jesus! OH JESUS CHRIST! AAARRGHHH....."

>>1349059
Scary Marines are the slightly more serious brother chapter to the Angry Marines

>>1349429

I now have a vision of scary marines standing in the corners of various places.

Unnaturally silhouetted and covered in shadow.

Just staring.

>>1349448
Damnit, that is scary.

Their red helmet lenses boring into your soul, wrenching up your every misdeed and condemning you to a horrible death, without even moving.

Just......staring.

>>1349429
>>1349448
>>1349474
They're kind of like the Ordo Hereticus's Grey Knights. Or maybe they're just drawn from the spookiest members of each chapter.

>>1349484

Ordo Psiopicus

Must think of sum fusion of /x/ and 40k fluff type shit for the scary marines to pull.

Scary Marines. Always watching. Always.

Nous surveillons toujours.

semper pervigilis

>>1348806
Would they be able to spot the seeds of Heresy just by looking at individuals?

Sort of like, mega inquisitors?

Lets flesh this out, damnit.

>>1349542
They are quiet and do that movie trick where the guy is walking around, and then turns around, and BAM there's one standing right there behind him, not moving or anything, just looking down at him.

>>1349555
And they vanish when light is aimed directly at them. Like the Hrud.

Using some kind of invis tech?

I had always thought that the Imperium should have SOME invisible stuffs.

>>1349555
Showdowns with Scary Marines often take place in abandoned warehouses

>>1349563
No special tech. They are just scary.

>>1348806
they could be ghosts of loyal astartes killed during the heresy, mistaken for traitors

Or they could just be scary marines

The Angry Marines rip and tear, the Scary Marines show up, then the camera turns away and all you see is a splatter of blood

>>1349598
and a scream

No. After them you see nothing.

Even if the room is well-lit, they're always partially veiled in shadow.

Always.

I wish I could drawfag. I want to do a three panel comic, with two cultists standing in the rain, one goes "Okay I think we're alone" or something like that, then lightning flashes and behind them is a Scary Marine, and then in the last panel he's just a shadow again

>>1349631
and in the fourth there is just two bodies

>>1349637
>there are*

/x/ would have a field day with this.

>>1349631
*Casts Summon:Drawfag, Rank 4*

>>1349648
Would they take a 40k related request?

>>1349651

You called?

I'll do it when I get home, later.

Befitting the rumors of their origin linked to the once loyal Night Lords, the chapter that more often than not finds itself due with the simple title of "Scary Marines" rely on tactics focused on breaking the enemy morale. However, unlike the treacherous Night Lords of Chaos, the "Scary Marines" rely on raw psychological warfair which in itself is rather "harmless", but with continued pressure can win the battle for them before it is even started.

The greatest weapon of all is the simple Fear of The Unknown. The fear of things that stray from the daily norm, the fear of shapeless things that move in the dark, the fear of an impending invisible doom. Man or Xenos, this simple truth holds strong. Where there Night Lord "brethren" use savagery, violance, torture, and other horrors, the "Scary Marines" use their own questionable presence within reach as their greatest weapon of slowly degrading enemy morale.

The "Scary Marines" are known and reviled for their tendancy and great ability to appear and disappear soundlessly. Many stories tell of screams arising in the middle of the night and a single witness finding one of their number slain, circled by great armored men seemingly sculpted out of the shadows themselves, and when the witness tries to get help, these men are gone. Leaving no dropped weapons, no evidence of struggle, and not even a body. Only a puddle of blood, and perhaps a single bootprint.

No place is safe, no place is private, and no defence is strong enough, and when this simple fact has settled itself in the minds of those stricken heretics and xenos, the Marines come forth en masse, coming out of homes and hidden alleyways, as if from the shadows themselves.

>>1349674
Whenever you find time, Lord

>>1349651
well it looks like you screwed that one up, ya got me though

>>1349675
Got shivers reading that.

In TT, All Scary Marine HQ units are allowed to take Fear of the Darkness for 10 points.

>>1349680
anyone who wants to draw it is welcome

>>1349654
Who knows?

>>1349687
well got an images my google foo fails me for any good shots

>>1349675
The Night Lords are the ones that highjack tv and radio channels and just start playing people getting torn to shreds, babies being crushed under boots, and stuff like that on permanent repeat, right?

Scary Marines should just send 10 seconds of them standing with their backs against the viewer, before it flickers and they are suddenly facing them with evil glowing eyes, upon which the eletricity gets shut off in the whole city.

>>1349726
scratch that, noticed another drawfag wants to take it up.

>>1349734
the more the merrier

>>1349728
Or the TV flickers and they're not on the TV anymore.

They're in the room. Behind you.

>>1349760
Or you see them in the mirror, you turn around, they are gone.

In before furry scary marines.
Duh...

Also, if a Space Marine chases someone, they don't run. They just walk at a leisurely pace, but they are still always able to keep up with their quarry.

>>1349782
Then you turn around and they're IN the mirror, staring, before slowly moving their hand forward. It slowly reaches for you, somehow breaking the laws of space and time, and wraps his fingers around your neck.

>>1349810
That could be one of their Librarians or something.

This thread isnt epic, but I do think it deserves to be saved

The idea of a ten foot tall power armored juggernaut being able to appear anywhere silently is so ridiculous it's awesome

INQUISITORIAL DISPATCH SECURIS EXTREMII

"Scary Marines"

A juvenile name for a strange terror that serves the Emperor's best interest, the "Scary Marines" are also known by a number of other titles, "Spooky Marines," "Istvaan's Children," "Those that Lie Between," and a number of others. For the purposes of clarity, I shall refer to them by the title that the Ezariel Symposiums settled upon, "Legio Vereor."

They appear to serve the Emperor's purposes, conflicted reports have them in fact working for the Ordo Hereticus, though again with the inaccurate nature of information I have to draw upon, this is uncertain; though, with their capabilities and apparent lack of organization I doubt this.

In any case, the Legio Vereor are capable of doing extraordinary feats, moving across continents within seconds without trace, transportation, perhaps without even engaging in any action, having an aura of fear one would associate with Culexus, and an apparent invulnerability- though this may be propaganda.

I regret I have nothing else to give in this report gentlemen, that is not speculation- Though, due to their apparent power when being unobserved, we might refer to the tome "Liber Schrodinger"{DECLARED HERETICUS FOR SLAANESHI TAINT} for information on the observable creatures, though, again, for all we know they could be a mass hallucination, or some form of joke.

>>1349829
This makes me want to start a Scary marine army, but I know I would be disappointed by not being able to represent them properly.

Their Chapter Master can come out of toilets and other openings far too small for Space Marines.

And then he strangles you with your own soul.

>>1349869
I lol'd

But then I srs'd right the fuck up.

>>1349798
HOLY.
FUCKING
CRAP!!!!
GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never posted any of my "art" here before, mostly because I'm not very good. I just wanted to say I'll be working on something, and I just thought Metallica's "Unforgiven" would be a decent backdrop to these guys' story. It's what I'll be listening to. That is all.

>>1349914
Godspeed.

>>1349914
That's my favorite power ballad.

>>1349675
The Scary Marines favor a variety of very simple yet very disconcerting methods of instilling a great air of discomfort and a direkt feeling of being constantly watched on those targeted by them. Be it through the use of those few strong librarians their chapter holds, their near-legendary scouts, or just their own skill at stealth, the following are among the standard "tricks" the Scary Marines commonly employ:

-An "important" or otherwise wellprotected target finds upon waking from rest that every door in its dwelling are unlocked and open, and its favored weapon as been placed atop its chest.

-A low-to-mid level target wakes with a knife or other melee instrument in its hand, and drenched with blood. Should the blood be tested, it will be identified as the target's own.

-Several targets disappear from their locales, yet there are no signs of struggle nor signs of forced extraction. In fact, all the doors/windows are locked from the inside.

-The power to the city/district of the city suddenly go out, and upon reactivation, the bodies of several previously missing citizens are found in a very open or otherwise hard to reach place.

-Military/Civilian transmissions are suddenly cut short, and several scenes of dozens of ominous Scary Marines standing in the city's town square, outside guard sentries, atop important government buildings, and suchlike are shown.

It's not like they actually engage the enemy. It's just that enemy soldiers start disappearing. One by one. Usually the last one alive finds all the bodies, stuffed in various places.

>>1349929
Night Lords, eat your hearts out.

Scary Marines mostly come at night. Mostly.

If they have to attack during the day-time they cover their target with smoke grenades. Leaving time for panic to spread, then they advance.

Colour scheme, people, colour scheme!

>>1349962
Black enough to appear like a shadow on the wall until the bastard takes a step forth and his eyes flicker on into a evil red glow.

Scary Marines will often take over duties in the civilian populace.

The mailman, who has delivered irregularly to your door for the past seven years is suddenly replaced with the looming, chilling figure of the marine. He thrusts the letters at you, until you accept them, before going on to the next house.

The indulgent, decadent governor awakes, not to his mercenary house guard, but to the silent and chilling figure of the Scary Marines. After he stops panicking, they take him to breakfast, make him get cleaned up and proper, and forcibly sit him at his desk and stare at him until he gets back to the work of running his planet.

Off and on, in short flashes, as you walk to your place on the factory line, you could have SWORN you had seen eight feet of power armor, hunched over a boilerplate, carefully welding it shut- no wait, it's just Frank. It was always Frank. Had to be. Right?

>>1349978

What's their chapter's emblem?

>>1349962
Black.

But a Black so Black, that it EATS light.

Now thats fucking metal.

>>1349978
Lol'd so hard.

>>1349976

This. Only black. Black as the terror-haunted night. Black as the souls of a thousand of the most heinous heretics. Black as the void of space from which unknown horrors come unbidden, and unseen.

Apart from the eyes.

>>1349989
Nothing, but when insignia is required, two staring stylized eyes.

These eyes have the same effects as looking into the visor of a Scary Marine, and have been known to send even Commisars cowering in a paranoid fear.

>>1349989
They clearly dont have one.

>>1349989
You dont ever see their emblem.
Thats right.

Also, you must remember that a Scary Marine is not dead unless you can SEE the body.

Don't even think of having sex when a Scary Marine is around, either. They'll fucking kill anyone who's about to do so. Just because

>>1350008
Slaaneshi taint and all that.

>>1350008

Don't split up.

And pray you're not black.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/02/20/ST2008022001172.html

This black. And handily enough, the article suggests that combined with other tech you'd end up with a cloak that light would simply go -through- and out the other side.

If this Chapter didn't have some kind of superior infiltration and cloaking skills, none should.

I only wish it was possible to accurately portray this on the tabletop, as this is quite possibly the best chapter ever.

>>1350028
Want to know how to stop an Angry Marine charge?

The whispered presence of Scary Marines.

Color Scheme: I would say black, with very pale pastel blue highlights/trim/whatever
Emblem: smiley face similar to Angry Marines, only it's black and you can only see the white eyes

>>1348806
I think this deserves an archiving, personally

>>1348826
mmmmmmmm taste the jpeggy artifact goodness

kinda like this maybe?

>>1350062
More slanted, and red.

>>1350065
white or light blue is creepier than red, just look at op pic

>>1350074
Granted

or a different type of eyes

>>1350100
The ones off to the side.

Scary Marines cannot talk, their voice-boxes having been removed. They do, however, have a choice of suitably creepy sounds to broadcast from built in loud-speakers. A child crying, rasping breaths, the screams of a tortured man.

But mostly, they come in silence.

They are taught how to unnerve people by Brother Chaplain Diligo Professio, who is the master of staring.

Just

Staring.

Hold on a sec while I load up doom, I remember there was one wall texture that always creeped me out

>>1350109

Removing the ability to speak would leave tham at a decided tactical disadvantage. That would be dumb, and never allowed.

They may -rarely- speak, and only in hushed whispers that nobody can hear, but they have to be able to speak.

>>1349929
Although the Scary Marines are known quite wide and far for their various and seemingly impossible methods of completely wearing down on the enemy's every little will to fight, the Marines themselves are the subject of the most tales. It is a hard and daunting task to separate what is real, what is paranoid fantasy, and what is outright propaganda the Marines themselves instill in the populace, but among the countless stories of shadowlimbed monsters dragging "innocents" off to part unknown, there are a few that always remain the same to those who have witnessed them and lived long enough for interrogation:

-The "Scary Marines" are uniformly covered completely in deepest black. Be it Marine, Scout, Librarian, or even the few Chaplains some insist on that they have witnessed, their armor and clothing are so dark that most swear that all they see are humanoid shadows with evil glowing eyes. Some even go so far as to claim that even light directed right at the Marines is just outright _devoured_ in their black forms...

-The Marines are always silent and only come in complete darkness. Be it through some unknown technology or through vast and repetetive use of psyker abilities, every single member of the Scary Marines are completely and utterly silent. No words, no rustle of armor, no loud bangs of weaponry being fired, or even the sound of shots being deflected off their armor when shot at.

They have the advantage "See but don't be seen."

And the drawback "Die Standing"

>>1350127
-The Scary Marines are most commonly attributed with having some form of invulnerability or some outright level of immaterialness, due to the fact that these near 9 foot tall armored men make no sounds as they pass, and few can claim that they have direclty _seen_ one of the Marines fall. However, this is commonly attributed to the Scary Marines own efforts to establish an air of helplessness, and is most likely propaganda fabricated by themselves.

-Their most documented ability, however, is how they instill raw terror upon their first true appearance. After weeks or even months of constant barrages to their chosen targets mental health, the Marines step forth from within the enemies own ranks, soundless as ever, and with their glowing eyes focused on all enemies in sight. Most of the time, this last move is enough to quell any attempt at resistance, but when the enemy still lusts for battle, the call to battle is sounded. This is the one time any sound is made by the Scary Marines, and it is said that when you hear the Chaplain's scream and see his white-skulled face, all hope is truly lost.

>>1350130
Also, every marine that is above Sergeant in rank, can take Fear of the Darkness.

>>1350131
The Chills, they keep coming

>>1350117
gah I can't remember any levels its on

I don't think they should be just jet black, i think they should have some very pale color as trim or highlighting, like pale blue mentioned

>>1350109
Don't forget "Spooky clown laugh", that's VITAL.

>>1350168
lol

>>1350157
I say give them Gun-Metal with some blueish tint trim, but that is used very sparingly.

Also, they aren't jetblack, they are so black, that it redefines black.

more like kkk marines lol

bump

>-A low-to-mid level target wakes with a knife or other melee instrument in its hand, and drenched with blood. Should the blood be tested, it will be identified as the target's own.

Fuuuuuck.

>>1350168
>>1350100
>>1350062
i've been playing around in flash and I can't really find something as emblematic as the Angry Marines icon, but I'm not terribly creative

>>1350207
I think it's better to leave it at "You dont get to see it."

Also, how dost thou archive, I dont want to lose this.

>Most of the time, this last move is enough to quell any attempt at resistance, but when the enemy still lusts for battle, the call to battle is sounded. This is the one time any sound is made by the Scary Marines, and it is said that when you hear the Chaplain's scream and see his white-skulled face, all hope is truly lost.

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

This is why I love you /tg/.

All you need is a damn picture.

D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW HOW CUTE!

It's a Spawn-inspired Marine chapter.

>>1350248
haha!

>>1350213

Archived.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/1348806/

>>1350242
Lol, saw OP's picture, and rolled with it.

Spawn is more about the Hellfire and RIP and TEAR anyway, I would say that the Scary Marines are more of a 'The Grudge' rip off.

>>1350258
more like X-Files cliché compilation

>>1350257
Thank you good sir.

haha I was messing around and ended up with this, lulzy

>>1350265

Incidentally, this is the page for archiving.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html

>>1350273
I loikes the description you gave it.

>>1350248
Awesome.

>>1350216
That obvious, eh?

FUCK YES I LOVE MORE SPACE MARINES

>>1350248
I like how you added the rain splatter halo around him, I would not have thought of that

>>1350300

If more chapters were awesome and relatively interesting, rather than EMO MONKS IN SPAAAAAAAAACE, ULTRA WARRIORS OF ULTRA COMBAT FROM ULTRAMAR and VAMPIRES IN SPAAAAAAAAACE, I'd not have a problem with more space marines.

...

The entire Chapter is Batman :O

one rule of the scary marines is they are utterly silent. never issuing orders. never yelling a battlecry... never attacking... just staring....in regiments on the battlefield next to rhinos and their titans....just......staring. None but those who have faced them and retreated to never return can comprehend the sheer unrelenting intimidation of the Scarymarines

>>1350307

It wasn't intentional. I copypasted it from the Space marine painter, and when I filled in the sky that happened. I liked it, so I rolled with it.

>>1350312
Or WolfBattleWolfBrothers of the Space Wolf Ship who descended from the Wolf space from the Wolfy planet of Wolf that the Great Wolf himself Lleeman Russ the Wolf king of the Wolves who used him Mighty Wolf blade to strike down he who oppposed the Wolf Magnus the REd who was not quite wolflike at all.

WOLF WOLF WOLF WOLF

>>1350320

I like.

fixed bottom :S

>>1350345
thanks

>>1350320
Nice, though I'd make his eyes more slanted, otherwise well done.

>>1350332
Since when has Batman kidnapped people then hung their corpses in the town square some days later, or siphoned blood out of people and covered a knife with it then placed it in their sleeping hands?

But yeah, every member of the chapter must've spent like ten years as their whole scout-ninja mix before getting to be a marine, or something.

>>1350334
>>1350334
>>1350334
this.

So what have we got here then?

Scary Marines, completely soundless due to skill/unknown tech/psykers, just all black armor without emblem, tiny loyalist faction of the old Night Lords, perform hit and runs, never rush to the attack, and oftenly use people on the inside to varying degrees?

You can see them only by the flash of their bolters.

looking at both eldar, space marine, and Warhammer 40k rule books.

>>1350385
I was thinking more like marines who are just naturally scary, they're silent, not really hit and run, just implacable. They are never in a hurry, most of the time when people can see them outside of combat they aren't moving, just standing perfectly still exactly where they want to be, watching. In combat they are calm, no yelling or screaming.

It's at least better than the goddamn "Disco Marines". Thumbs up, boyos.

Like, they give you the feeling that no matter what you do, where you go, or who you are, they can and will get to you.

>>1350385
That and they seem to bypass all fortifications, and turn up in places that they should not have been able to get to.

Supposedly works with the Ordo Hereticus

>>1350388

They only rarely use bolters. Preferring to get up close and personal with close combat weapons.

Bolters, while terrifying, are not Scary style. There's a world of difference between hearing bolter fire from miles away, and waking to find everyone in your barracks torn to pieces without leaving their beds.

>>1350320
For such a simple drawing that is quite excellent

>>1350421
I dunno, I think bolters could probably be pretty scary, especially if fired one shot at a time, with only the muzzle flash to light the marine. Very cinematic :P

>>1350434
Maybe Silenced Bolters?

>>1350414
Anything's better than those dancefloor rejects. Also, fucking "Emorines".

>>1350438
the very idea of a silenced bolter is heresy

>>1350434

Stalker Silenced Shells. Propellant and explosive replaced by gas cartridges, detonator cap replaced with solidified mercury slug.

>>1350434
I'd say bolters are left for full engagement, after they've done screwing the fuck out of everyone's sense of safety and really shown how easy they can take them out at any time.

>>1350434

True, now that you put it that way. But I reckon they'd save shooting for the final attack. Until then they'd only use knives and their own hands.

>>1350438
you know i actually like that,.....but remember its not bullets theyre firing *rolls eyes* sigh....mini rockets.......


have the whole army roll every turn and on a 6+ they have natural camouflage for one turn but also have slow and purposeful.

boss, dese boyz is givin me squigbumps

All units function as having Banshee mask which allow them to attack first. you can always name it something else.

All librarian units have Transfixing glare as their psychic power.

HQ, Elite, Troop, and Fast attack can infiltrate.

No heavy Support choices, they may instead take more elite choices instead. Heavy weapon choices may still me taken. All squads are armed with Krak grenades at no extra cost.

>>1349651
I'll see if I can throw something together.

Lemme find my tablet.

>>1350466
Or use old edition Night Lord rules.

Stealth Adepts. +2 to cover. Derp derp.

If we're talking tabletop ideas, they should actually palette swaps of some of the Necron Lord's equipment available, like Veil of Darkness

Scary Marines Distilled: dark stormy nights, silhouettes, lightning flashes, sudden appearances, silence, stillness, staring white eyes

>>1350500
How did the old Night Lord rules go down?

I thought >>1350481 was pretty damn accurate.

>>1348806

Best I could find

>ULTRADERPS
lol what?

I kinda think their symbol, at least for their flags if they don't mark their armor, should be like the creepy Cheshire Cat smile

>>1350532
The Firestorm over Kronus fags should definatlly make a Scary Marines add-on.

Where Night Lords are the Phobos, Scary Marines are the Deimos

>>1350481

Still stuck on what to give chaplains. Should They have Death mask Which in the old codex enemy units suffering a loss have a reduced leadership.

Also chapter banners Reduce enemy attacks -1 in a 2d6 range, plus -1 for combat resolution.

Space marine commanders have Death mask similar to Dante's, as in -1 to WS and BS.

>>1350581
they could have something that behaves like Daemonic Visage from the old Chaos codex

so i herd u liek scary marines

>>1350620
Oh SHIT-

>>1350620

Oh frank, stop sneaking up on me like that.

>>1350620
HE'S GOING TO BAD TOUCH ME! *fetal position, crying, etc.*

all is dust..o wait

what happened to the drawfag?

>>1350708
I believe that they have already came.

But if someone wants to take up the Original request, that would be good too.

If I might add, make it sort of "realistic".
I know that is sort of redundant as this is 40k, but you know what I mean.

>>1350496

As promised, here you go guys.

SCERRY MERENS

>>1350062
Just a suggestion but you might want to try making it more like a mouth, with white triangles around the outer diameter for a teeth motif. It would make it easier to distinguish against a dark background but still have a psychologically frighting aspect to it.

Additionally I must have been the only one to see the OP and think they were about to bust out with "we built this city on rock and roll"

>>1350717
>>1350882
Sorry it wasn't the original request of a cultist, I kinda just drew a Firewarrior instead on a whim. I figured the Firewarrior's brighter colorscheme would be a better contrast to the Scary Marine. Hope it's still the same concept you were looking for.

man op pic is still just creepy

Scary Marine is watching Faptau fap

I don't think Scary Marines even do large scale battles. They just stare.

Posting in an historic thread.

Lazy Marines -> Iron Warriors
Angry Marines-> World Eaters
Pretty Marines> Emp's Children
Adeptus Orthodontists -> Death Guard
and now
Scary marines -> Night Lords

tg/ ROCKS!

First panel.

>>1351724

Planetary defense general: Sir, the astartes patrol has discovered our little secret.

Dastardy imperial governor: WHAT? Gun them down. I want no survivors. The STCs we found should work magnificently.

Planetary defense general: Strange. I've yet to have seen these chapter colors before, it's almost as-

Dastardy imperial governor: EMPEROR DAMMIT, SHOOT THEM DOWN *NOW*, GENERAL.

Planetary defense general: There. All dead. I'll have the wreckage buried and no one will ever kn-What?

Unidentified voice: General! The bodies, we can't find...there's not a trace.

Planetary defense general: Keep searching. They may have ejected.

Unidentified voice: But they were still firing when we caught them with the thing, I could see their EYES, JUST-

Planetary defense general: Keep working, Major.

Dastardy imperial governor: Tell me if you have an update. I'm heading back to the estate. Been a long day. Ha ha!

Planetary defense general: Rest well, your lordship.

Dastardy imperial governor: Martha! I'm back!

Female voice: Hello, dear.

Dastardy imperial governor: Where's my little Simon? I've had a heck of a day and you're all going to hear all about it!

Female: ...

Dastardy imperial governor: Martha?

Female: T-tom...what are you talking about? Who's Simon?

Dastardy imperial governor: Please, Martha. I'm not quite in the mood for joking yet, not without a few drinks. Where IS our son?

Female: T-tom...we never...t-the miscarriage...

Dastardy imperial governor: That's ENOUGH, woman. I'm heading to his room and then maybe we'll get you to the healers.

-rest of transcript has been edited out-

>>1352510

oh shi--

I vote that we make the primarch a complete mystery mindfuck extravagenza.

>>1351724
>>1351796
Holy shit. Please make that third panel.

>>1352563

I hope it's just robes on the ground, one of them with a SLIGHT blood splatter.

>>1351796

>>1352581

Things that we know about the Scary Marines:

-They are almost certainly all beta-class psykers. This would explain the silence, the preternatural feats, the complete absence of bodies, their knowledge and foresight of all manner of heresy, anywhere.

-They have no need for bases, temporary or permanent.

-They may have as yet unsanctioned stealth technology, bordering on the heretical.

-THEY

-NEVER

-SLEEP

>>1352595

-Their parents are DEEEEEAAAAAAADDDDDD

Wait why is an Astartes chapter using Assassinatorium tactics?

>>1352604

Because Space Marines can do anything better.

>>1352602

That would be pretty apt if not for the fact that they NEVER speak, don't struggle with grey morality issues, and have an incredible, though unsubstantiated bodycount.

Almost reads like Night Lords crossed with the Legion of the Damned.

>>1352604
Imperial assassins WISH they were as sneaky as these guys.

You know that thing where you're running down a long narrow hallway without any doors and the lights keep blinking and going out behind you as the darkness races closer and closer and your legs are burning and moving far too slow and you're panting and screaming 'oh no no no nononononononononononNONONONONONONONO-' and then you finally reach the far door and a Scary Marine opens it for you?

Yeah.

Adeptus Brixtartes.

Am I the only one who wants them to have big white toothy grins painted on their masks?

Or have them be magnetically attracted to dark windows?

Remember the human webway the Emperor was working on before the Horus Heresy?

The Scary Marines found it. That's how they get from place to place.

>>1352550
Definitely should be one of the missing Primarchs. How did a Primarch never found even get space marines of his own?

That's the #1 mystery. In a very long list.

>>1352643
Better yet, you finally make it to the door. You slam it behind you and catch your breath. When you start moving again, you feel there's someone behind you. Staring.

Just.

Staring.

>>1352712

They're able to turn off their eye-lights at will. For superior stealth.

Then, as you slam the door shut behind you and lean panting against it, you stare round the darkened room you find yourself in. No-one here.

Then the eyes appear in front of you.

>>1352710
I imagine him as a "voidborn", somehow landing and growing up on a Space Hulk, constantly shifting in and out of the Immaterium due to some engine error. He had to fight the occasional orks and demons to survive, and most of the time he was alone...so very alone in the dark corridors of the wretched thing.
One day, when pirates wanting to loot the Hulk entered the ship, they found his towering form.

Staring.

Just staring.

Portrait of the Primarch as a Young Man

Staring.

Just staring.

>>1350175
Sworn enemy of the Pacmarines?

>>1352803

God, that must be the look he makes when he fucks. Staring as he thrusts.

Just.

Staring.

>>1351724

I shat a brick house.

>>1352839

Excellent.

Aspiring drawfag here.

Once I get some free time, I'll try making my own version of Scary Marines in action.

Hmm...perhaps we can make Scary Marines so scary that they are even capable of instilling fear against daemons.

Lord of Change: Tch, these Astartes do not give up, do they? Well, let's see if a trip to a deathtrap-laden dimension can't fix them.

-opens portal, lures Scary Marines into them, then warps back to its stronghold, meeting Tzeentch shortly after-

Lord of Change: HAHAHAHAHA! MY LORD TZEENTCH, I HAVE ELIMINATED THAT NEW ASTARTES CHAPTER. ALL IS JUST AS...planned?

-sees that the image of Tzeentch and his minions melt to the ground, revealing the black countenances of the Scary Marines-

>>1352853

Any drawfaggotry is good drawfaggotry.

I'm thinking of equipping the Scary Marines with power claws for melee combat. Bricks will be shat.

>>1352839

I second this opinion. That shit is quality drawfagging right there.

The eldar of only Thirty Five Thousand years nods to his superior, before beginning.

"It was several months ago, on one of the worlds we were looking at for material harvesting for a side project. We didn't want to excevate over a period of time due to time constraints, and wished to do it in perhaps three years. Such a short time for our project...a..anyway. Six months in is when we saw one. We were at a drilling site, when we heard the scream of a young one. We thought it was impossible, and ran towards the sound. We found an Engineer, his fist jammed into his mouth...and tearng out his own neck. It was horrifying, the flesh under his nails visible as a finger was poking out. We checked him for bodily fluids to see if anything did this mentality wise. He was drained of everything. Blood, spittle, bile, even organ moisture! It was as if someone drained him and preserved him perfectly, just to show us he could.."

The eldar shuddered once again, before looking back up. "The attacks continued. Gaelran was the second victim. Found impaled hip to hip...then chest to shoulder. They bent him to impale him twice, and..and...Then snapped his neck, trying to jam the back of his skull through, and it looks like we had hurried and interrupted them, because a palm print was still fresh on his horrified face. It was truly horrifying."

"Then the mass body piles. No one disappeared, just many, many bodies appeared for little reason. Many were of our own, some Ork, some Tau, even those terrans were along the bottom. I swear there were a few skulls of another creature I for the life of me, still cannot identify. It looked to be..well, stretched. Like clay in a crafter's hands. No one was willing to do work without expressed permission."

>>1352867

He wipes his brow carefully with a gesture, eyes looking downcast. "We then saw them. For the first time, we saw them as they were. Marines. Dozens, maybe hundereds. They all wore armor like the night sky, staring at us with glowing red eyes. It was something like a nightmare, appearing without hesitation, and aiming at us. QUickly, retaliation was given. But none of them fell. Or even flinched. They just all kept their weapons directed at someone. Then we heard a loud gust blow, as a single sound was made. It was one of our own screaming."

"He seemed to realize something none of us realized before it was too late. Any marine with line of sight of him, aimed directly at him. No noise. No flashes. Just the sound of his body fall, and they all vanished. As if they were never there!"

"We hurriedly removed all of our supplies, and made plans for departure. No one else died, and they did not do any more...'offerings' or 'visits', but we knew they were there. Watching. Somehow so..so...."

His words fail as his eyes open wide, his elegant face pales to almost a chalk white. He slowly and shakily points towards his superiors, who look behind them. There, stands a nine foot space marine, his armor so black, that few seem hesitant to even look at it due to it's color. A flash of light is seen, and the eldar recounting the story falls back dead, a bolter through his chest. As the superiors scramble to distance theselves and bear weapons, he simply backs up, and vanishes. No trace is found on the craftworld of any terran activity.

>>1352550

I say Shintaro Kago is their Primarch.

The Scary Marines emblem is the Yellow Sign. You'll never see it though, because it's written/painted/sewn on a absurdly dark black background, in a similarly >>1350020-style black.

>>1352880

Father Ted: That's right, Dougal. You see, ordinary shops sell what look like black socks, but if you look closely, you'll see that they're very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.
Father Dougal: That's true. I thought my Uncle Tommy was wearing black socks, but when I looked at them closely, they were just very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.
Father Ted: Never buy black socks from a normal shop.
[Whispers to Dougal]
Father Ted: They shaft you every time!
[Dougal looks worried]

You know guys, red eyes don't really work well with the concept of it. It's too evil to be truly scary. The Scary Mariens are supposed to use a perfect, neutral and natural form of fear, as well as maintain an air of mystery.

Like many of the drawfags have shown, pure white or with a slight hint of blue creates the best effect. It is not inherently malicious like with red eyes, but the continuous staring to scare, being spooky without explicitly looking like they will kill you, works perfectly well with the former color. If you want red eyes, Angry Marines fit the bill perfectly yet do not seem out of place.

>>1352896

This. White eyes all the way.

>>1352898

AAAAAAAAALL THE WAY.

>>1352880
paging douglas adams oh wait he's dead or something

>>1352924

Glad I'm not the only one that thought that. It's a little black button labeled in black writing on a black background, and when you press it a little black light lights up black to let you know it did something!

I believe I have found a picture of an apocathary.

Quick sketch of Scary Marine with Power Claws

>>1353062

Promising, but needs to be less hunched over and more imposing like. Midsection also needs to be wider.

>>1348806
op pic is inferior to this

>>1353071

This. When you finally see the Scary Marines, they have no need of stealth or sneakiness. They stand tall and aloof to your horrified cries.

>>1353119

So, they're basically the Night Lords who still work for the Emperor?

>>1353062
The Lightning Claws of the Scary Marines are always deactivated. They simply scrape the blades along surfaces as they walk.

>>1353128

I believe they were a loyalist faction of the Night Lords, yes.

>>1353128
M'yup. Tiny loyalist offshot from the bigger chapter who still hold true to the old basic strategies, rather than the whole "Turning babies to mulch with broken bottles"-bit that the Night Lords eventually turned to.

>>1353128
Sounds good to me.

>>1352649
Someone wrote that the Chaplains still had the whole white skullmask thing going on, so they have that at least.

>>1353136

A tiny remnant of the Night Lords that work for the Hereticus and the Assassinatorum in secret, led by Chaplain L. Wayne.

Whut, this thread is still up? Dayum, I thought it was down and dying around the current middle.

>>1353169

IT JUST WON'T DIE.

>>1353169

Whenever you think this thread has died, it will be right there on the front page.

>>1353185
Staring.

Just.

Staring.

>>1353119
>>1353071

Got it. Who needs stealthy poses when you teleport everywhere?

If anyone is confused by the whole assassinorum thing, I don't think they have a whole psyker assassination branch, yeah?

Psykers don't have the ideal physical durability for combat if something does go wrong, and the grey knights have their hands full and don't have the inclination for stealth.

Enter scary marines.

Inquisitor.

Assassin.

COMMISSARS OF THE SOUL.

>>1353195

Oh they are stealthy. It's just that they're so stealthy you never see them. They only reveal themselves at the climax of their operation. When the sight of them standing massive and imposing is the key element in causing terror.

>>1353201

>COMMISSARS OF THE SOUL.

fuck

>>1353202

Just got the image of a bunch of tau stealthsuits in an imperial guard camp, being sneaksy and keeping to the walls thinking they're hot shit.

They walk through a narrow passageway.

JUST After they pass, half a dozen scary marines materialise in the very places they didn't step on.

Just. Staring.

The next panel shows them moving in the stealthsuit's direction.

AND THEN THERE WAS DAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRKNESSSSSSSSSSS

>>1353202
Who wouldn't be absolutely terrified out of their mind to find that the more or less unknown foe that has been constantly freaking the fuck out of the entire populace for the last two months, by using all kinds of almost supernatural abilities, prove to be 9 foot tall ebon-armored and evil-eyed kill machines.

And who just popped out of homes, empty alleyways, the sewers, and every shadowy nook and cranny in the city, numbering well over several dozens. All of this without a single sound being made.

>>1352550
The Primarch was obviously Jason Vorhees

>>1353219

I'm afraid Jason is merely a scary assault marine squad leader.

>>1353219
Night Haunter, the man who fucking pacified the criminals of an entire world through his wholesale slaughter and scare tactics, is the Primarch.

The Scary Marines just stick to the old pure Imperium tactics, whereas the current Night Lords are just fuck all gruesome.

>>1353221
I thought we were going for a sort of humourous slasher-film vibe. It's getting a little TOO serious here : \

>>1353234

Night Haunters = Slashfest horror flicks(Jason, Freddy, the like)
Scary Marines = Psychological horror flicks(The Ring, Shutter, etc.)

And so fades another brief star from the night sky that is /tg/...

>>1353423

And then Scary Marines poof behind you.

Fuck no, this will survive.
There is still a drawfag doing the job.

>>1353488

'Tis evening here. Gonna rework the Scary Marine sketch tomorrow. Need to exercise my long-rusting leftie.

>>1353289
I think it would be great if Scary Marines started appearing in a town just before they actually did their mission. Like instead of a mannequin behind glass in a clothing store, there would just be this huge armoured dude staring outside...only staring. Sometimes you would see huge Scary Marines climbing up out of a manhole, etc. They do this for reconnaisence work, it lets them learn more about the place they have to work in...plus it scares people!

>>1352581
>>1352584
>>1351724
>>1351796
thank you drawfag for filling my request :)

>>1353780

I think it'd be even more of a blow to, before a mission, hijack the TV sets of the area mid broadcast and just show a black screen with their glowing eyes. Just staring. That'll get people unnerved.

>>1348806

Jah, meinself does.

>>1354733

You SHARE!

>>1354759

seconded.
