Hey, here's my newest army, the frenzy marines =]

The damned

The Imperium of man was in danger. Chaos had used the power of the warp to get right into the heart of the space marine empire. They needed help, and fast.

This task was given to Brother Atholos, who got right to work on creating the chapter. However, the gene-seed was tainted....

A chaos sorceror had heard of the news of this new chapter. He prayed to the dark gods to curse this chapter, and all it's members, to walk the earth as foul demons, and slaughter all in their way. Khorne, the blood god, did so and the chapter was cursed for eternity. Upon creation of the chapter, everything was normal. However, when they went to defend Vjjin V, it was a different story...

"They came at us like mad men, wielding chainswords and firing bolters everywhere. As soon as blood was spilt, a horrible mutation had taken place".

The members of this chapter had been mutated into part demon part SM warrior. Chapter master Ayrat had gone into a fit of rage.

"He picked himself up of the ground. His helmet had cracked off, and a horned face stood staring at my squad. The sheer horror of this creature was unbareable. One of the men in my squad had his stomach ripped open by the razor sharp claws that hung off his hand, and another had his head crushed in by the cursed powerfist"

The commander changed back into his Space Marine form.

After the war, many of the soldiers had mutated into this state and back. However, the inquisition did not hunt them. They agreed that they would only be used in the most extreme circumstances, and they were not considered a threat as long as they were not in war.

The dreadnoughts are not piloted by wounded marines, but the soul of a soldier who was killed while in his demon state. Just as the men turn back to their physical form, the deadnought goes into a state of sleep while it is not in combat.

The war of Vjjin V

"sir, the forces of Khorne have been spotted about 2 clicks away to the north"
"Let them come"

It was a freezing winter night in Vjjin V. Over 5 million people had been killed or injured. The planet was in a state of war. The Frenzymarines had been called out to halt an attack against the forces of Khorne, who had previously taken control of most of the nearby star system, Vrea. All they needed was this small planet to conquer it the entire system of Vrea. Chapter master Ayrat was in command of the small force that was to cleanse the planet.

"Sir, they are nearby, what do we do now?"
"Get ready for war"

Hundred upon hundreds of marines got their power armor on, and lined up along the ridge seperating them and chaos. With a mighty war cry, the two forces clashed.

Blood started splattering everywhere. The forces of Khorne laughed in a fit of hysterical rage as bodies started to drop.

"DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!!"

A dreadnought was dropped from orbit. It landed on top of several of the khorne marines. It opened fire, spraying blood everywhere.

Suddenly the fighting stopped. The frenzy marines were all laying still.

"We've killed them all!" shouted a chaos marine.

Suddenly, a creature jumped on his, sticking it's hand through his chest, pulling out his organs. Then they began to get up.

"Deamons? We are Khorne! You are on our side!"

"We kill for what we have become because of you!"

The forces of khorne were overwhelmed with claws, horns, blades and machine gun fire as the Daemon Marines ripped their prey to pieces.

it looks...ok at best, first off it would be better to have them hunted by the imperium, mutations as crazy as that calls for ultimate purging...

apart from that the only thing i dont like is the name, it just sounds really childish, something along the lines of "The Cursed Ones" would work better i think

no, it was originally going to be a BT army, then I cba to buy the rulebook, then I saw that I had daemon parts, so when they were cursed, they were esentially damned.

It is a little....worrying at best for various reasons. Ok you expect that the Grey Knights and the Ordo Malleus to sort of see corrupted, mutated Marines and go "We will let them be". No they would be burned to death. All of them wiped out. Second if Chaos did make it to the Heart of the Imperium I can honestly think of one way and that is through the big old "Warp Gate" beneath the Golden Throne in any case would be too late. To be honest if they did appear at the heart of the Imperium at all it would be too late. Every chapter would be recalled cause not to be harsh but one Chapter would not sway the tide of a battle if Chaos did appear so close to Terra. And one god damm final point which I find some what ironic.

Khorne listened to the plead of a Sorceror!!!!!! Aw come on that is just insane and almost beyond belief. I advise you lower the case of why they were formed. Perhaps the Imperium realised Cadia was near doomed and comissioned the imediate creation of a chapter to defend here. Tzeentch had forseen this and used Khorne as his tool to taint these warriors to make them insane killing machines, forming more of a large warband on Cadia rather than a chapter. It would make it harder for the Ordo Mallaus to get rid of them in one clean strike.

i was going to suggest using BT rules, if your going to have them heavily CC orientated BT armies do it much better as normal SM cannot take CCWs in they squads anymore

That I agree on, makes sense. Insane blood crazed warriors surging forth. Still I do say the fluff needs alot more thought. Its just a little much in my books.

First off:

"The Imperium of man was in danger". So what else is new....?

"Chaos used the power of the warp". Well, you can pretty much take that for granted...

"...to get right into the heart of the space marine empire". Space Marines don't have an empire. They fight for the Imperium, but no specific area of space can be said to belong as such to Space Marines, specifically - they are scattered all across Imperial space.
