We need to do Twilight Swords and it really needs to be Blood Angels.

Scout heavy and obsessed with hunting.

Maybe lots of little fortresses on their homeworld and they live amongst the populace Salamanders style.

Due to the gene-seed making them all look at least a little like the Martyred Angel they have a devout but, in their eyes, unwholesome following from many mortal women. They think it's fucking creepy.

>>48558563
Are there scouts aloud in Death Companies?

>>48558563
Very interesting! Nice source of contention you don't see often with space marines.

Is here a Gaston-like brother among them?

>>48558563
I'm guessing there is alot of trophies that they wear into battle that range from all over the galaxy especially among the veterans of the chapter with the younger marines only hsaving local fauna on their persons.

This allows room for self improvement and a drive to succeed and advance for all of them.

>>48559025
Ah the Ex-sanguinitors chapter they remind me of a your dudes thread a while back with someone showing off the custom chapter: the Chipotera Astra or Space Bats.

One of my favorite parts was that they start out incredibly beautiful but become uglier and uglier as time went on until they are all looking like Nosferatu and Strigoi-like.

>>48559224
They were the same problem as blood drinkers, don't they? Honestly, I'm surprised there aren't more "space animal" chapters out there

>>48559376
No they were apparently more Vampires! in space. They even rode giant bats and had Sister allies as not!wives of Dracula.

>>48559529
That's mostly retarded

There's a BAngles successors called the Red Wings that would be good for making space vampies

>>48558563
Drawfag here, got any idea on what they would look like? Would you like a scout or a marine?

>>48556167
Writefag here, looking to do the Warmongers chapter. So far my current idea is a Raven Guard successor with a flawed gene seed that makes them prone to bouts of hyper-violence. They'd be based in the Segmentum Pacificus and help suppress the Macharian Heresy. Their strengths would be close-combat, and trying to minimize the use of heavy weapons so they can 'get to grips with the enemy'.

Good start so far?

>>48560510
Do they forgo stealth like the Black Guard, or do they use assault marines for quick ambushes and stuff?

Sounds good so far

>>48556167
As much as I would hate to over-load the thread.

Could we take a look at the White Templars as well?
Seems odd a chapter with such obvious heraldric ties to the Black Templars would be so starkly different and an actual chapter.

So what caused this?

I'd like to know more about this guy.
He doesn't look like a Thousand Son.

>>48561966
Possibly a schism that led to the White Templars creation?

Maybe they thought that psykers (Imperial ones) were'nt all that bad after working with them enough times?

There is a number of possible reasons, lets think them out.

>>48562400
Perhaps a question of faith early on in the Templars campaigns?

Astartes who didn't venerate the emperor as the BT do.

How are they different from the Black Templars?
Are the tactics different?

>>48561128
Assault marines for quick ambushes, with an emphasis on going in hard and fast. Camo isn't so much frowned upon as it is seen as something that will let them get into CQC easier.

They're essentially a fusion of Raven Guard ambushes and surgical strikes with World Eaters-tier ferocity and violent outbursts.

>>48558646
AFAIK anyone who falls into the Black Rage gets booted into the Death Company, Scouts and Dreadnoughts(?) included

>>48562648
>Dreadnoughts(?) included
Fuck, that's really sick. How come that never happens in canon?

>>48562464
Probably not to different though smaller initial numbers and younger age meant they had to fall in line with the codex astartes than they would have liked to.

Regardless they sucked it up and continued being Emperor fearing quasi-gods and kicking ass to all mutants, heretics and xenos.

>>48562619

>>48556302
My Lord Marshall reports are coming in from the underhive, there are at least ten new riots ocurring as of now with an estimated total rioters at around 100 to 200 million.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!! Those filthy degenerates after all that we did for them and this is how they repay us!?!?! Get the 1st through 3rd Companies
ready and get the heavt suppression equipment ready.

This time no more nice Marines...

>>48562848
I would assume meditation and self control training would be very common in addition to hypno indoctrination.

>>48562848
They don't go the same level of RIP AND TEAR as World Eaters would or Death Company BA. They're definitely toeing the line of what is acceptable, however. Which is why they're fleet-based and tend to operate on their own.

>>48556191
Terror Tigers

A chapter hailing from the 4th founding of the White Scars Chapter the Terror Tigers are what one would expect from such a name.

Terror tactics and psyops are incredibly common for the chapter especially against traitor guard or unruly planetary populations.

Though this was not always the case, infact research shows that the use of terror warfare only became widespread around somewhere in m35 in the Veetman Sector during its Secession from the Imperium. In the beginning o the conflict the Terror Tigers (Then the Tigers Resplendant) usual tactics were simply ineffective against the local populace and were unable to root out the subversive elements quickly or thoroughly enough. This wold come to a head when Chapter Master ****** was killed and succeeded by 1st Captain ****** who instead changed the Chapter strategies to give no quarter or mercy to the locals whether they were rebel or moderate.

TBC.

>>48562856
>Brother-Marshall Koluski, you were meant to rot out corruption, not dismantle the entire planetary government! The High Lords are riding my ass on this!
>Give me just two more centuries, Lord, I'm three bolts away from cracking this heresy wide open!

>>48562999
>Terror Tigers
weren't those the guys who almost got wiped out by mutants?

>>48562464
Could be an attempt by the Templars to legion-ize themselves, creating a puppet chapter to act as their sternguard or some shit. As if they needed larger numbers

>>48556191
The Benedictors Chapter is regarded as one of the most friendly all loving and downright personable of all Space Marines in the Imperium only being rivaled by the Salamanders chapter. Exactly when such a behavior manifested is currently unknown to anyone in the know, even the Benedictors themselves are unsure.

Most commonly seen taking action with the Imperial Guard in taking or retaking planets and even on occasion aiding in reconstruction of warzones as they can.

Renowned for their cheer and likable attitueds, the Benedictors have a seemingly unsahakable optimism or the future of humanity despite how grim things maybe.

Their view of the Emperor is a rather middle ground bewtween the typical Astartes view and the mainstream Ecclisiarchial view. They see the Emperor as a being to be emluated and to adore.

Though despite their optimism and good nature the chapter has had numerous losses and even scraped with extinction at least 2 recorded times each in defense of imperial citizens against numerically and qualitativly superior foes but would rebound with the contributions those that they saved and served/fought with.

>>48563016
Thats it Brother-Marshall Koluski your off this case and out of this Chapter and straight to the Deathwatch... Zip Bam Pow straight to Obscurus!!!!

>In M41 the Terror Tigers suffered major casualties, after their Homeworld was invaded by the forces of a Mutant Warlord. After a hard fought battle, the Terror Tigers defeated the Warlord, but they had lost almost two-and a half Companies worth of their Chapter to the Mutant's forces. When he saw how ravaged his Chapter was left after their victory, the Terror Tigers' Chapter Master ordered his own execution, for his failures in dealing with the invasion

Not nearly wiped out, but lost enough that the chapter master ordered his own execution out of embarrassment

>>48563171
Yes. The first time people waved it off. They didn't ignore it the other times.

All that I have written up so far for the Warmongers fluff:

Few chapters better fit their name than the Warmongers, who view their duty as Space Marines to always seek out and destroy the enemies of the Imperium whether those enemies be the mutant, the witch, the heretic, or the xeno. Alleged to be a Raven Guard successor chapter from the 20th Founding, a claim disputed by the Raven Guard, the Warmongers have gained a string of battle honors and accolades from their 5,000 years of war. The Warmongers have also gained a worryingly long list of enemies including not a few other chapters that disagree with the Warmongers’ extreme methods.
The Warmongers first major action was in the Segmentum Pacificus acting as part of a relief force for the Rigelus Sector, which had come under attack from Waaagh!! Guzbuk. Their most notable action was to deploy three full companies (the 1st, 7th, and 9th) in a lightning raid on Guzbuk and his lieutenants, shattering the Orkish command structure. Reports by supporting units of uncharacteristically ferocious fighting by the Warmongers 1st Company were dismissed by Segmentum Command as, “lies, rumors, and damn close to heresy.” It would be the first of many such complaints.
Operating always in the Segmentum Pacificus, the Warmongers reputation for bloody surgical strikes was further enhanced during the suppression of the secessionist uprising on the hive world of Amalda V. Screaming from the heavens in drop pods, the Warmongers dissected the rebel commanders in a single day, hanging the bodies from the hive spires and broadcasting the final moments of the assault across the planet.

>>48563261
Can they have tiger stripe paint, pwetty pwease?

Not quite a marine chapter. But can i ask for fluff on a home brew guard army?

They are called the Sydonians.

That was a shitty Twilight joke. I must try harder.

But those ideas would add to it well.

Especially the Trophies one.

It's now a trophy obsessed chapter. They compete to deal the death blow to big things. Chaos Lord, Warboss, squiggoth or Bio-Titan are the big things they like to take out.

They are the best assassins outside the Assassinorium.

Their favourite method of long term warring is translate their ship into real space outside the system, hit full burn for a while and cut all power to everything except essentials and drift cold into the system.

Launch specialized drop pods way far out compared to what is recommended for other chapters. Almost no metallic components to the pods. It's mostly hyper diamond. It's filled with shock absorbing gel. The marines lungs are filled with oxygen saturated goop. This + normal astartes modifications allows them to slow down much latter in the descent.

That + Space Marine hibernation abilities allows them to sleep their way for months through space in one man coffins and only awaken a few hours before entering the atmosphere.

They then land in some remote place on the surface.

They then wait for months, years sometimes, for the rest of the Imperial Invasion force to turn up. They spend the time assassinating leaders and committing acts of terrorism.

By the time the Guard turn up the opposing military is hopefully decapitated, the infrastructure a smoking ruin and the populace disorganized.

Their inclinations toward must grate on the various Generals etc they work with. Secretive and really proud must not lend many allies that they could have especially other Astartes.

>>48569159
Very much so.

Part the problem is that they are very hard to find and contact. When the party starts properly they just carry on taking pot shots at the big targets and leaders totally regardless of any overall strategy. Even when they are encountered they refuse to be ordered.

They tell you what they are doing and it's up to you to plan around them.

It also makes it difficult to recall them at the end of a campaign as they can go from before the festivities start all the way up to garrison and mop up time without seeing or being seen by a friendly soldier.

Recall signal is a hymn unique to the Twilight Swords that has to be broadcast telepathically by one of the Librarians.

There have been instances of Brothers being left for decades in the forests because they were missed.

>Where ever I go I must get BTFO by Night Lords

Acommon scare tactic among the Bayou Warriors is where they play a specific tune on a local stringed instrument from their homeworld across enemy vox channels. The tune keeps picking up pace over the recording which heralds their lightning fast attcks, preferably from the waters if thewy can.

There battle cry is "Squeal like Grox".

The Emperor's Shadows were formed in the second founding after the Horus Heresy, their Chapter Master and the majority of their battle-brothers recruited from a world where close combat and honor was emphasized greatly. These values were easily transferred over to the chapter, and the addition of the Cybernetic augments only made it easier for them to enhance their favored style of combat. Their chapter makes great use of Assault Marines and Despoiler Squads, as well as Space Marine Bikes and hold a great reverence for the wisdom of those interred in Dreadnoughts. They hold a larger than usual store of MkII and III armor, leftovers from when they were a part of the Iron Hands legion.

Refusal to have anything to do with the Warp.

They view the GK and Exorcist methods of deamon removals as;

Grey Knight? Lets put a bunch of psykers in a deamon heavy environment. I'm sure that's never going to backfire. Oh look they're sacrificing battle sisters in blood rituals, keeping deamons in boxes in their super secret fort to talk to, hoarding dubious artifacts, exterminating loyalist populations and one of them has a sword with a deamon in it. You know there was an all psyker legion back in the olden days as well and they did exactly this sort of thing. Those fuckers aren't in danger of falling, they've already fallen and everyone is in denial about it.

Which is only slightly more stupid than treating warp-griblies like a small pox vaccine. Yes I am looking at you Exorcist. And buy a note book or something so you don't have o write on you hands, armour and head.

These guys go full Sisters of Battle/Doomguy method of deamon slaying.

Unbendable faith, basic but sturdily made and well maintained gear and a Big Fucking Gun. Psykers on the battlefield? Nope. Sure the psychics have a place in the Imperium. High stress situations are not that place because the fuckers aren't all that psychologically stable at the best of times. Any brother that develops psychic powers goes on permanent loan to the Deathwatch.

No Librarians. Shit loads of Chaplains.

Unholy tomes get stored in cells at the bottom of deep pits. The cell is lined with lead and can be flooded with burning phosphorous if it looks like shit is going bad. The book is chained to it's shelf. You will wear the protective apron, gloves and adapted welders mask. You will be accompanied by a chaplain or veteran battle-priest.

Any deamonic artifacts are thrown into the nearest blackhole or neutron star. They will be stored for transport to such disposal grounds in vats of holy water and oil. They will be guarded by a chaplain or veteran battle-priest during transit.

Favoured allies: anyone in good standing with the Ecclesiarchy.

Favoured enemy: Chaos Cultist, Chaos Marines, Deamons, Chaos worshiping xenos, Radical Inquisitors and corrupt members of the Ecclesiarchy because fuck apostates.

Favoured strategy: Point them in the direction of the thing and the thing gets violently banished to the Warp where it will spend at least a century popping its eyes back in and it's balls back out.

Battle Cry: Whatever hymn the captain likes best.

Homeworld: Fleet based and diffused because Chaos is everywhere and the Crusade isn't over yet and fuck you all for saying it is.

Numbers: Fuck knows. Everyone is spread out to fuck and back. Could be anywhere from 500 to 2,000+. Always on recruitment drive. Always dying. Crusade is in full burn all the time, anything else is negligence and complacency. High turnover rate. Plenty of raw recruits but few over 300.

Rivalries: Ain't got no time for petty bickering or old feuds whilst Chaos still lives.

Gene-seed: White Scars. No mutations because purity of faith has shielded their genes from the corruption of Chaos.

Even better.

Evil never sleeps. It just gets it's head stomped flat because neither do these guys.

Early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese and these are the mad bastards who spent all night setting up the mouse traps.

Has this done anything good for their attitude toward life, the universe and society? Of course not. Human brains need to sleep. Even augmented astartes brains need to sleep occasionally. These dudes don't. They meditate and very, very rarely go into a suspended animation state for a few days every six months or so for medicinal reasons. Rest of the time they fight and run and pray and train and study and fight and run and train and meditate and fight and THE WILD RIDE NEVER ENDS MR BONES AND NEITHER DOES THE CRUSADE!

Is this a curse? Hell no. If they are awake then they are crusading, and they are always awake. They are Angels of Fucking Your Shit Up and as such are beyond mortal concerns of mere rest.

Also they don't appreciate people telling them to slow down. Keep up or get off the ride because the Crusade Train has no brakes.

I notice Guardians of the Covenant aren't on there. Is "they're very scholarly and even more monkish than normal Dark Angels, writing and illuminating giant-ass tomes. And they live way out in the Galactic West where nothing cool happens and fight minor xenos, and in-universe they're so unknown or uncelebrated that in Deathwatch marines don't really respect them until a GoC player character successfully completes a mission.

(Next week I will begin a Deathwatch game where I will be a Guardian of the Covenant and I will most likely be the squad leader at least half the time. So I'm kind of biased in wanting to get some more tidbits about them)

>>48593116

>>48593116
>>48593138
reason I didn't pu them on these is that GW and pals already gave them a decent amount of attention. 50% of the ones on there are chapters that have just names and that's it.

And here I thought they would end up as another hand-me-down Black Templars look-alike. These guys are giving me all sorts of interesting ideas especially with the pictures you posted-most notably the last one there.

I've been toying around with the idea of a Chapter that only recruits criminals into its chapter. The chapters idea is 'death is a release, not a punishment' and that those who have committed crimes against the Emperor and his Imperium must work twice as hard to redeem themselves.

They go through recruits extremely fast as they adopted a Commissar views on insubordination. Can't do that many push ups? BLAM! All the while the idea of fighting for redemption and death being the ultimate reward is beaten into their heads. They will work with psykers and mutants, however there view is psykers and the like are born with sin and must work even harder to earn their redemption and death. As such they are tolerant, but only if you share their fervor for the Emperor.

Despite there fervor for death and redemption they aren't above humanitarian works and often will remain behind on a world they assisted to help rebuild.

TLDR imagine an entire chapter made up of pic related

Not exactly comedy Irish. Ye olde Battle of Clontarf sort of Irish. And it's always Battle of Clontarf day. And the Vikings are deamons.

>>48597051
Decided to try and set up some more details for these guys.

They were founded in the 35th Millennium as a counter to a predicted WAAAARGH! that would ravage a sub sector, their gene seed derived from the Blood Angels but due to events in the Chapters early history they developed an unsavory Chapter Cult that is looked upon with disdain and suspicion by others.

Their hero was the Captain of the Second Company who killed an Ork war boss and hounded the survivors and killed any ork that stepped forward to try and claim the position, essentially making the orks think said position is cursed to bring the Captain down upon them.

The Chapter recruits from a wasteland penal colony. The colony attracted the eye of the Chapter for a recruitment world due to a death cult there that shared similar views to the Chapter. They only recruit criminals, the only requirement is that they must want to redeem themselves in the eyes of the Emperor. Religious fear of dying without redemption is planted heavily into every person on the world.

The Chapter itself maintains a Death Cult belief system, believing they are there to fight and suffer against the enemies of the Emperor and that they must do as much as possible to prove themselves worthy of the Emperors forgiveness. Those that do die in such a manner are revered by the Chapter, their bones collected to make totems for the Marines of the Chapter to give them courage and remind them of that heroes glorious death.

>>48599553

They're view of the Red Thirst and Black Rage has made them extremely unpopular amoungst other chapters who share the Blood Angels seed. Those who fall to the black rage are believed by the chapter to have taken his squads sins as his own, resulting in his madness and lust for death. Those who fall to the black rage are both pitied and admired as the Chapter beleives they cannot hope to redeem themselves before they die due to taking their brothers sins upon themselves but that by doing so the fallens brothers sins are lessened allowing them a chance to gain redemption.

Their view of the Red Thirst is even more disconcerting, viewing it as a return of the marines criminal instincts. Those who suffer the Red Thirst are considered marked, that they have done something to offend the Emperor and were punished for it so others could see. Those who suffer it are thrown into a squad with others who are watched by a Chaplian. If they manage to not suffer the thirst again while in that squad they are considered to have earned the Emperors favor again and allowed to rejoin their previous squad.

The Chapter favors close combat over any other form of combat, so much so bayonetted boltguns are quite common and use of combat knives is heavily trained into every marine.

The Chapter is currently under strength, having lost a good number of Marines to a recent ork WAAARGH that they destroyed, though they are now dealing with the fragments of that WAAARGH! that have scattered throughout the subsector.

The Angels of Retribution are an Iron Hands successor chapter, founded some time around M32, formed from members of their predecessor legion who took a more active desire to hunt down the killers of Ferrus Manus. Much like their progenitors, they have a particular despise for the weakness of flesh, replacing their bodies overtime with mechanical augmentations. All initiates, to begin with, start with bionic hands, and a Veteran's body will be almost cloaked in wires and servomotors. They have no fortress monastery, and are instead fleet-based, though their home port is the comet fields of the Crios system in the Segmentum Obscurus. They are led, once again much like the Iron Hands, by a council of five Iron Lords, as opposed to a Chapter Master. Each Iron Lord leads a War Clan of approximately 200 Marines, divided into Battle, Tactical, Support, and Scouting arms, in a slight deviation from the Codex Astartes. Another deviation is the replacement of Chaplains and Techmarines with Iron Fathers, overseeing the Chapter's spiritual health and aiding Marines in overcoming the weaknesses of the flesh.

As stated, the Angels' primary hatred is for Chaos cultists and Traitor Marines, particularly followers of Slaanesh and the Emperor's Children, who they hold responsible for the death of their primarch. Their tactics, overall, could be described as "target the enemy where he is weakest." Their preferred battle tactic is to use their space forces to survey the battlefield before precision striking troops into points of weakness. On the ground, they use rapid mechanized assaults combining armor, air power, and Assault Marines to exploit weaknesses in the enemy's line. They are also extremely proficient in boarding actions, targeting the weakest areas of the ship and sending in Marine squadrons to disable it.

Chapter colors are blued steel hands, legs, and pauldron trim, with black pauldrons to signify their allegiance to the Iron Hands. The helmet and body are painted red for the Angels' strong friendship with the Adeptus Mechanicus, formed at the battle of Nova Stygia Tyrannos, where the Angels of Retribution defended the Forge World against a Slaaneshi incursion. As such, the Chapters' crusades often receive assistance from the Mechanicus's Skitarii legions, and Explorator fleets passing through near the Crios system can depend on the Angels for protection.

One of the most famous actions of the Chapter came in 576.M41 in which Brother Agazzi was taking part of the retaking of Hive World Yionis from traitoris nobles. This action was where the Yionis 1st Whiteshields were holding out against rebel guard in a distraction to allow reclamation forces to continue unhindered. 5th Squad of the 6th Company (In which Agazzi was a part of) found themselves lost in the ruin of the hive and found the Whiteshields being overrun after 6 hours under constant assault and proceeded to aid them. By the time they had finished the near depleted Traitors the Squad found that no Whiteshields were left alive and that the many traps they had set up had been holding the Rebels off for the last hour or so.

The only thing that was relatively undamaged was the regimental standard with only a few las bolt holes. Filled with grief but resolute in his duty Brother Agazzi took the Standard with him as the final assult on the Rebel HQ spire was underway. In the final moments Brother Agazzi would plant the Standard through the last Traitor Nobles skull killing him and finally ending the Rebellion.

The Whiteshield Standard remains to this day in the Benedictors Hall of Glory to commemerate that day and the youths who gave their lives for the Emperor.

>The Imperial Stars are an Imperial Fists successor chapter founded some time in M37, and believe hard discipline is the key to the Imperium's survival. They see the downfall of the Imperium as encroaching and nigh unstoppable, doomed from hedonists as the Imperium's leaders, and traitors in its citizens. Despite their absolute pessimism, they continue to fight and die for the Imperium, since that is what their loyalty dictates. The connected stars on their shield refers to their domain in the far reaches of the segmentum obscurus. They see no salvation for the Imperium as they enter the newest millennium, but wish to preserve as much as they can in the coming days of Armageddon. Despite being a small, secluded chapter, they managed to wrangle three livable systems under their control, known as the Celestial Triumvirate. These worlds are harsh and strictly regimented, but through their struggles, the colonists are able to ward off continual assaults from the various despicable forces that call Obscurus home. Despite strict government regulation, the only interaction between the chapter and its people are chaplains, who make regular rounds to "ensure the peoples are pure of spirit and duty". These marines are otherwise an entirely conventional codex-adherent chapter.

>Despite a constant underlying loathing for all of humanity's enemies, the chapter gets along with only a few other chapters. They have an eternal disdain for the Iron Hands and their successors, as they believe their modifications are a sign of weakness and lack of will to discipline the body. They hold the Ultramarines and their ilk on an ever so slightly lower pedestals than their own progenitors, in respect of their dedication. Of the forces of man, they refuse to fight along side the rabble that makes up the guard, and the heretics that make up the Inquisition. They only truly ever fight with the more disciplined Sisters of Battle.

Minor Cont

>>48632883
>Their chaptermaster is known as Yurth the Indomitable, a centuries old marine whose skin is as hard as his ceramite. The man is loyal to a fault, always fulfilling any request for aid. It was his idea for the chapter preservation efforts within the Segmentum, and personally lead the planet-side cleansing efforts in order to move in colonists. In his many years of service, he lost his left eye, half of his left hand, and two fingers off his right. Despite these inhibitors, he refuses body modification, choosing instead to cope through discipline and training. In battle, he wields an Eviscerator made from the dark irons of their homeworld, with jagged teeth and rough plating. He dwarfs his fellow marines and stature and musculature, and is attributed as the sole reason for the chapter's success. Rumors in the Triumvirate say that Yurth regularly travels to the warp to stave back the chaos gods themselves. If such talk was aloud in the chapter, more than a few brothers would be inclined to believe.

>Created during the years after the legions, the Angels of Damnation were meant as a supplementary chapter to the rest of the sons of Sanguinius. Whenever a chapter required more marines than any one had on hand, they would request assistance from the Angels of Damnation, who were honor bound to answer the call of war. Because of this, the chapter became fodder, often sent in to be used as a diversion, or to take the brunt of an assault. These self-destructive tendencies were ensured by the chaptermaster, an eternally Loyal former Blood Angel commander by the name of Cuorius. After many centuries, the chapter's numbers dwindled near the brink of destruction, when, leading an assault ordained by the Exsanguinators, Cuorius was slain by mutant street-fighters. The new chapter master, seeing the folly of their honor-bound ways and resentful for the callus disregard for his chapter's numbers, now refused any and all calls to action until the chapter regained its strength.

>Now bitter and isolationist, they retreated to their homeworld to allow their chapter time to reorganize and rebuild, wanting now to forge their own glory. This went on long enough for the chapter to get just barely out of the red, when time came for action. The Angels of Damnation chose to strike it off on their own, planning a planetside assault on a recently reawaken tombworld in their home sector. They gave off a distress signal to nearby chapters, but none answered their pleas. Lacking the numbers to ward off attack, and angry that their history of service went unrewarded, that they abandoned their home sector to fester under the blood angel domain. On the verge of destruction and nearly turning renegade, they answered a distress call from a shrine world, and ended up being extremely close allies with Hospitaller sororitas turn militant, called the Sisters of Salvation.

Kinda weak, but its an idea. Please, someone, expand or change this.

The history surrounding the Heralds of Ultramar is one of immense tragedy brought about through great treachery. Their creation as part of the cursed 21st founding was brought about as a result of Ultramar experiencing centuries of peace and prosperity, causing the population to swell with potential new Space Marine recruits around every corner, more than the Ultramarines could hope to recruit. As not to waste such an opportunity, the Ultramarines, in secret, established a successor chapter that would become the Heralds of Ultramar, their first chapter master being an esteemed duelist by the name of Gallen Scorious. The Heralds, upon their creation, ventured out deep into the wilds of Ultima Segmentum, eventually settling on a small, ocean moon on the edge of the Damocles Gulf, fighting back the occasional Greenskin Hordes and Eldar Pirates that found themselves on the edge of the Realm of Ultramar for millenia, remaining unknown to all but the Ultramarines so as to preserve their secrecy. Indeed, they would often identify as Ultramarines whenever they were encountered by Imperial observers.

Disaster struck when they encountered Astartes from the Minotaur chapter, accompanied by an Inquistor sent to survey the Gulf region for heretical activity. Encountering the Heralds, they immediately assumed them to be renegade marines and proceeded to utterly massacre the chapter, who had let their guard down and were utterly decimated, their numbers dwindling down to 500 marines of whom were away and did not participate in the battle. All petitions for aid from were Ultramar were rejected, as the Ultramarines sought to deny any relation so as not to draw the ire of the Inquistion for illegally creating a new chapter.

Cont

>>48638646
Scorned by their progenitors and disgraced by the Inquisition, the Heralds retreated to their ocean moons and erected massive fortifications and manufactorums beneath the planets grey oceans, retiring beneath the waves to rebuild their forces. Cutting off all contact with the outside apart from sending a company at a time out to conduct strikes at the Imperiums enemies, particularly the Tau whose empire they border. The Chapter still considers themselves sons of Macragge and hold fast to the Codex's teachings, but their isolation has made them paranoid and have, as a result, forces them to be extremely self sufficient. Somewhat unique and slightly deviant from the Codex, the Vanguard Veterens of the Heralds wield force-tridents, becoming particularly skilled in disarming their foes.

They're strongly allied with quite powerful Rogue Trader families that operate in the Damocles Gulf region. Individual Heralds have even been seen accompanying the crews of a couple Rogue trader ships. This makes them essentially accepted back into the Imperium at large, with the Rogue traders vouching on the Heralds behalf for tolerance of the Chapter

Time will tell what will become of the Heralds, as they continue to rebuild and venture forth back into the galaxy.

>>48556191
Had the idea of a Space Marine Chapter with a high number of Apothecaries who serve a double roll, both as field medics but as scientists. They dissect alien corpses to discover what they are made up of, they study captured xenos life forms to study behavior patterns in them, they experiment to create toxins and viral weapons to use against them, they also do some torture to test pain thresholds and how they respond to pain etc.

Maybe even did a FABULOUS BILE and experimented on their own geneseed leading to them having some issues (could be cursed founding and they fixed the gene seed, but caused a mutation while doing so).

>>48650399
A secret mad scientist chapter might be fun. I'm not sure how they would keep all their xenos and geneseed fuckery a secret, though. It'd be fun to have the Mechanicus figure out their ways by the geneseed on mars and the chapter's own geneseed not matching up.

>>48650470
Well part of me was thinking the high number of apothecaries means they will often harvest geneseed from fallen allies. They of course return some of it, but keep some for themselves to trick Mechanicus tests (Like the Black Dragons).

As for how they avoid detection thinking they roam the edges of Imperium territory seeking new xenos to fight and study. They have a rather unhealthy interest in the Tyranids as they are viewed as an excellent challenge, an enemy that adapts on a cellular level to counter obstacles.

One of those things where people are suspect as hell on them, but as they stay on the fringes of the Imperium and are often fighting Tyrnaids many simply cant shift the resources to bring them in for questioning.

That was my idea, have them kind of rip off deathwatch and make specific ammo combinations, use gas grenades, bioweapons, maybe even use alter non-astartes weapons like a needle rifle (cant remember which one but remeber this was a weapon used by an inquisitor agent) that delivers poison needles etc.

Their mutation could be of the Omophage and Preomnor organs, keeping with the viral weapon theme
