Astartes - Blog Posts

Part of the 501st legion's Clastartes, Alad is a high ranking clastartes and part of the required cataphractii guard for their jedi general, Anakin Skywalker. Wearing cataphractii Commando armor, Alad wields a terrifying Grevious Claw and a single hand Heavy Boltblaster. Alad is silent, deadly, and has faced various foes in service of the Republic.

Yup yup! Each Jedi general in this au have a group of cataphractii guards and this is a member of Anakin Skywalker's. Having a very small bit of Naboo-inspired decor and demeanor, these lads are just as unorthodox as their general lol.

Ah yes. I come out of stasis to yeet you... the Clastartes! (name is still a work in progress htf does one mix CLONE TROOPERS with ADEPTUS ASTARTES?) Essentially, they're my take on a 40k Star Was Crossover. Pls take this with a grain of silliness. This is all in good fun.

Any type of Astartes Armor

Dreadnoughts are voluntary services and come in all Frames

Weapons are called Bolt Blasters (Heavy Boltblaster for example)

Geneseed is derived from their Jedi Generals

Jedi’s personality and culture rubs off on the Clastartes

Clastartes make up about ⅓ of every Clone Trooper force

Clastartes are made from an early cadet

Grown Clones can’t become Clastartes due to the enhanced aging

Clastartes organs and modifications slow down aging and shut down the Inhibitor chips

Honor Guards are built for each Jedi General

Coruscant Guard are more connected to the Jedi due to the rules of the Geneseed, thus are connected to Cin Drallig

Order 66 fails solely because of the Clastartes, who stop the Jedi Massacre all over the galaxy and at the Temple. 

Palpatine is butchered by the Clastartes 501st and Coruscant Guard 

Wild Space includes planets/characters from 40k (because I said so)

The Inquisitors are a mix of what they are in 40k as well as Star Wars

Other species from other franchises could make an appearance (Halo, 40k, Predators, Xenomorphs, etc etc)

Republic does its own “Great Crusade”

Battle Droids are converted into security forces

Dreadnoughts are essentially mobile bacta-tanks

Clastartes that become force sensitive are trained by their generals

It gives such strong Pandemonium (The "capital/Main court" of hell acording to old Christian lore) vibes!!!

Which makes total sense as it was probably what they were referencing. I've always liked WH30k/40k twisted parallels to Catholicism/Christianity, and this is a great subtle nod to it.
