Hive worlds often fall into this category, especially the lawless underhives and the polluted ash wastes between the hive cities. While all Space Marines have hatred of the enemies of Mankind, especially those which lurk among the stars preying on the worlds of the Imperium, the Novamarines have fostered a deep revulsion for xenos beyond even that of most of their kind. New messages : No new messages : Announce: New messages [ hot ] No new messages [ hot ] Sticky: New messages [ blocked ] No new messages [ blocked ] They are highly suspicious of outsiders and often appear unreasonably aloof and intransigent. When triggered produces hyper-cocktail of combat stimms and enhanced rapid fresh regrowth before falling dormant again. Those amongst humanity's enemies capable of rational thought are equally quelled by the sight of the Adeptus Astartes, proudly bearing their colours and marching fearlessly onwards. Many, even brother Astartes, find the Dark Angels aloof and uncommunicative. Whilst company colours are typically displayed on the trim of a Space Marines shoulder pauldrons, they can also be displayed on helmets, chest Aquilas, knee plates or even on the squad markings. The Mazynth Breach is the focus of the majority of our games currently, this is a stable-ish route through the Rift. When the Chapter's genetic curse manifests itself in an affected Battle-Brother, it comes on in three stages: The Blood Ravens do not know the name or the lineage of their Primarch and so far there are few clues in their gene-seed to enlighten them. Known as The Flaw, these genetic curses known separately as the Red Thirst and the Black Rage. 3rd Edition was released in 1998. The Ultramarines became so large, growing to a size that included over 100,000 Astartes, that a new, larger unit of division, the Chapter, was created to better organise the XIII Legion's forces. Contents 1 1st Edition 2 2nd Edition 2.1 Boxed set volumes 2.2 Codices 2.3 Campaigns and Supplements 3 3rd Edition 3.1 Revisions These might be warriors seconded from another Chapter, perhaps even a First Founding Progenitor, or they might be the first true sons of the Chapter itself. He cast himself into a crusade of redemption that only ended in the terrible crucible of the Iron Cage, re-forging the Legion in the bloody furnace of war. This is an oft-used, lazy plot device that is commonly used by new writers in one of two ways, either to make a Chapter skip a few centuries, to avoid centuries worth of backstory and campaigns to write about, as well as to explain away why one of their Chapter's companies split from their parent Chapter, to eventually become their own separate Chapter. Trade wars escalate to open conflicts and the planetary militias are used not to defend against attackers but to capture territory from bitter competitors. Medieval worlds are those planets where the population has either risen above the crude tribal structures of a Feral world, or regressed from a more advanced level. First off, determine who the single greatest hero of the Chapter is, then determine secondary figures (such as the hero's companions and peers, or later heroes): Next, you should determine why this figure of legend is venerated by your Chapter. The type of terrain in which a Chapter builds its Fortress-Monastery might have little bearing on its character, but may have plenty, especially if that terrain has shaped the qualities of the peoples from which it recruits. A combination of low temperature and high amounts of liquid has swathed the world in ice. These forces might feature large numbers of rhino-borne squads, and sometimes the vehicles will have been modified to afford additional speed or range. The Space Marine Chapters were now intended to primarily serve as highly mobile planetary assault and special forces troops, who would be deployed only for the toughest missions confronting the Imperium for which the forces of the Imperial Guard were simply insufficient.

Sometimes he will find a Space Marine waiting for him at the conclusion of his challenge, and be led into a waiting transport to leave his former life forever. In surviving the Blood Duel, the Battle-Brother was truly gifted by fate, for dozens fell on the bloody field so that he might take his place as a Neophyte. He faces creatures dredged up from his own nightmares and phantoms seeded in his mind by the Librarian, who presides over the Trial and judges the Aspirant's very soul. What caused such worlds to fall so far from glory is often a matter of supreme mystery, and often a cause for concern to the higher echelons of the Imperium's leadership. The more recent campaigns Armageddon, Eye of Terror are ideal for fanon writers. This plot device is often used to rationalise a bad idea or as an unimaginative way to explain a potentially interesting Chapter characteristic. Others regard it as their duty to dispatch strike forces to every corner of the Imperium. Subcutaneous uplink to neural controls of power armour and Terminator armour. No challenge to their status intended. It's best to occlude a Chapter's origins and keep it mysterious, as this is much more inventive and makes your Chapter much more believable and interesting. As a result of this change in organisation, the Space Marines' military purpose changed as well. Controls circadian rhythms, ensures peak performance without sleep. If the latter, please contact a wiki administrator. Such a force united would be nigh unstoppable. This section describes the many and varied trials that Aspirants are expected to overcome before being accepted into the ranks of a Chapter's Neophytes. Other planets might have been transformed into wastelands by war, accident, stellar phenomena or deliberate policy. Covers rules for both Dark Angels and Blood Angels. Every Chapter has its founding fathers the heroes that wrote the opening passages of its glorious history. Those favouring the close-in approach are likely to mount their battles in Rhino transports, dismounting when within bolter range in order to unleash a devastating fusillade of mass reactive death. Below are some examples you can use for your Chapter's current status: While the Space Marines stand aloof from the bulk of humanity, the long millennia of war have often brought about unlikely alliances and rivalries. but that very fact makes them less suitable as a recruitment source for the Adeptus Astartes than many other types. In a somewhat surprising move, the new Codex: Aeldari incorporates rules not only for the Ynnari subfaction and the new Corsair models, but also the Harlequins - who previously enjoyed a codex all to themselves. Each Chapter serves collectively with the others of its kind as part of the Imperium of Man's Adeptus Astartes. whose size exceeds 1,000 Battle-Brothers.. except in certain situations, such as if they are a Crusading Chapters (similar to the Black Templars). While most Chapters take little part in the affairs of the population of their home world, some involve themselves to varying degrees. After all, a brother who cannot be entirely trusted to keep the Chapter's secrets is unlikely to advance through its ranks. Every Chapter is entirely autonomous from every other Adepta of the Imperium, including the Inquisition, and takes its orders only from the High Lords of Terra themselves. Over the millennia this had led to a vast proliferation of icons and liveries. The Adeptus Mechanicus plays an essential role in the process, for its highest echelons are tasked with creating, testing and developing the gene-seed samples that will provide the basis of the new Chapters. Though far from mindless berserkers, they are certainly possessed of a feral exuberance for battle. They are well-known across the galaxy for their bloodthirsty nature in battle, and feared for the curse of flawed gene-seed they carry. Such sledgehammer tactics can overwhelm the most stubborn of defences, but often only at unimaginable cost in the lives of the attackers. Within this specialisation there exists some variety, which is usually derived from the nature of the Chapter's gene-seed. The Blood Angels are one of the 20 First Founding Legions of the Space Marines and were originally the IXth Legion before the Second Founding broke the Legiones Astartes up into separate Chapters comprised of 1,000 Space Marines. Space Marines, Adepta Sororitas, Adeptus Mechanicus, Imperial Guard, Chaos, Xenos, daemons, planets, ships, weapons, anything related to warhammer40k. For instance, it is not uncommon for a Salamander to serve as a clan leader among the Nocturneans and live with them when Chapter business does not require him to remain at the Chapter's Fortress-Monastery on Nocturne's moon of Prometheus. When it is first implanted within an Aspirant, the genetic sequence will work hideous changes on the warrior's mind and body; they revert to a primal state where their bones split and buckle, thick hair sprouts from across their body and their only desire is to gorge on fresh meat and glut themselves on blood. For example, a missing company of Ultramarines would still be Ultramarines, therefore, once they managed to make contact with their Chapter home world of Macragge, they would most likely be reabsorbed back into the Chapter. Finally, there are a small number of Chapters whose organisation and methods bears little resemblance to those prescribed in the Codex Astartes. The Chapter's beliefs are centred not on one particular figure, but on the more abstract notion of death itself. However, keep in mind that this is also the exception, not the rule! One this page are listed some examples of Space Marine battle cries, which the player might like to bellow when his character is engaging a particularly fearsome enemy! Warhammer 40K Meta Hotness: Invictor Warsuit. In many cases the predators are human, such as the gelt-scalpers that prey on the outcasts of hive societies, culling the unwanted for monetary reward. Space Wolves exhibit a fierce sense of loyalty to their comrades in arms and this is on occasion extended to their compatriots in other branches of the Imperium's military. The Ultramarines Legion was the largest of those bodies raised to prosecute the Great Crusade so long ago, and as a result it provided the largest number of Chapters when the Second Founding occurred in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy. More cynical minds might wonder if the mysteries of the Red Scorpions' past and their origins might also have something to do with their fanatical desire to prove their loyalty and that they are beyond the reproach of their peers. This is a site where members of the Warhammer community share their fan-made, homebrew factions with the community. 4th Edition was released in 2004. Technologically, most of the inhabitants are ignorant of advanced machinery, but may utilise basic firearms manufactured locally. This is not to say that you couldn't imply that your Chapter might display lupine traits within their gene-seed. In addition, the size and status of the Space Marine Chapters fleet should also be considered. At the time of the outbreak of the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium, the Ultramarines Legion was divided into twenty Chapters, each composed of ten companies, with each company composed of roughly 1,000 Astartes. This Founding occurred somewhere between 975-991.M35, exact date is unknown. Should an exceptional source be discovered, some Chapters establish small facilities in order to watch over the population and test Aspirants, as is the case with the Black Templars Chapter. It may be fought against insurgent elements on an Imperial world, or against the Imperial Commander himself, who has perhaps withheld tithes, given succour to traitors or otherwise refused to adhere to the dictates of the Adeptus Terra. The Dark Angels have a shadowy past hidden by the weight of history and shrouded in the smoke and blood of the Horus Heresy itself. Years of fighting against particular foes might hone an especially effective form to perfection, or the specialisation might be the result of the Chapter's essential character and the nature of its gene-seed. Enables hyper-rapid clotting to staunch wounds almost immediately. Two other Legions, the IInd Legion and the XIth Legion and their Primarchs, were created by the Emperor, but nothing is known of what became of these Legions and their Primarchs and all data pertaining to them has been deleted from current Imperial records. The Warhammer 40k Eldar codex went to pre-order on February 26, 2022, and was up for sale the following week, on March 5. When fighting in defence, the Space Marines identify the point the enemy is most likely to assault, and hold it come what may. The Great Crusade set the stage for many of the most memorable feuds. It has never been decreed necessary by the Adeptus Terra to enforce the tenets of the Codex absolutely, as it is highly doubtful that it ever could be done. A divergent Chapter is one that strays from the Codex Astartes, but not by a huge degree. Often these are unique artefacts predating the Age of Imperium, or in the case of the Dark Angels' Fortress-Monastery a vast chunk of planetary debris hollowed out and fitted with the very largest of warp drives. What may have started as a symbolic honouring of the volcanic nature of Nocturne and the fire-breathing beasts that live amongst the basalt-formed mountains has evolved into a lethal specialisation. No homebrew Chapter shall have a personal army of standard-human warriors except in the case their home world possesses a Planetary Defence Force (PDF). This comes with the added danger that much of the sort of lore the Blood Ravens seek is dangerous in and of itself, either as proscribed texts or things touched and tainted by the Warp. Below are listed the most common types of Codex Demeanours found within the Adeptus Astartes: Below, is listed the most common gene-seed deficiencies found within most Adeptus Astartes Chapters: Some Chapters are afflicted by a flaw that transcends mere zygote mutation and comes to totally define them. The first thing when writing about your Chapter is to determine why and when were they created? Also be sure to browse around this wiki, as there are already a lot of Chapters that have been created. This has both its advantage and disadvantagesenemies find it extremely hard to assault a fortress in such an environment, but the Chapter will most likely have to look farther afield for recruits. Remember, a good balance of real-world cultures placed in the 41st Millennium can prove quite rewarding if one takes the time to make a simple modification to a name. When creating a Space Marine Chapter, be sure to utilise the Space Marine Chapter Infobox in order to keep your article uniform with other Space Marine Chapter pages. Then said 'magical Inquisitor' disappears as mysteriously as they appeared. Until superseded by newer versions, the 3rd edition and later codices remained valid for the newer editions of Warhammer 40,000. He disappeared during the massacre, and his body was never found or recovered. Aside from the ready source of recruits afforded by the hive-cities, the Chapter has access to a nigh-unending source of munitions, and it is likely that the master of each city is required by ancient law to provide the chapter with a tithe of its industrial output in return for the protection the Chapter's presence affords. The members of the Death Company are then sent out to perform the most dangerous assaults, hoping for a quick and honourable death in combat. It might be that mutant or psyker populations have been allowed to expand unchecked. Sharper eyesight and enhanced low-light vision. Death Worlds are often thought of as deadly jungles, but might just as easily be ocean-bound planets. Imperiums worlds by function (as described in the previous entry), each class may feature a wide variety of terrain types, or indeed be dominated by one single type. For 10,000 years, the sons of Ferrus Manus have stoked the unquenchable fires of hatred, drawing strength from their bitterness and awaiting the day of their Primarch's return. Battlezone codices were rules supplements that dealt with a specialised combat environment, instead of an army. The Space Wolves' dream of emulating the Ultramarines, Imperial Fists and the other First Founding Chapters in the creation of a legion of Successors seemed close at hand. They are often blessed of a calm self-assurance in the face of adversity. Such experiences shape them, in both positive and negative ways, lending a further level of detail to your Chapter's background. As far as the Imperium at large is concerned, these 'bush wars' are insignificant to the larger strategic situation, unless of course they interfere with the rendering of tithes or the raising of new Imperial Guard regiments. They are slow to anger and rarely make a rash decision. Hraldir had come closer than any other since the time of the Emperor Himself at understanding the genetic nature of the Canis Helix. This is an attitude that developed as a consequence of the Salamanders' own unusually close connections to the Nocturnean people, as they are one of the only Chapters of Astartes who continue to interact with their families and the people of their homeworld after their transformation into Space Marines. At the conclusion of a Trial in which a prisoner is taken, it is common for the Aspirant to be required to slay his captive, often before his people in a highly ritualised deed akin to a ceremonial sacrifice. In other cultures, the Aspirants fight for the honour to be judged worthy, knowing that a great reward awaits the victors. Listed below is a table that shows the percentage of deficiency for each First Founding Chapter: Chapters drawn from the gene-stock of the Ultramarines are very unlikely to exhibit any deficiencies in their gene-seed, for their Progenitor's stock is amongst the purest in existence. The advantage of direct rule is that the Chapter can enforce every element of its will upon its subjects, shaping their development the better to produce promising Aspirants. The world is swathed in all-but-impenetrable jungle. There are hundreds--if not thousands--of ways in which a Chapter can test an Aspirant's inner strength. All Space Marines are the product of their genetic inheritance, benefiting from its blessings as well as suffering from its shortcomings, and the Imperial Fists are no different. After their discovery by the Inquisition, the Steel Confessors were forced to become an independent Chapter of the Adeptus Mechanicus, but they still maintain unusually close ties with the Mechanicum of Mars. Fleet-based Chapters recruit from a wide range of planets.
