Space Marine Chapters - The Chapter Project

[Cordova]

Ok, so there are reputedly about 1000 Loyalist SM chapters out there in the Imperium doing their thing, so I thought it'd be cool to see what we can come up with here. (This has been done before, but this time I was thinking you could post names/fluff/pictures to make it more complete.) I will put up 'official' GW chapters etc (again feel free to add your pictures of your marines) but please add your homebrew chapters, I want to see how complete we can get here

Honour's End: 837.M41: During the Eclipse WARS, the Space Wolves fight alongside the Angels Vindicant and Flesh Tearers Chapters upon the shrine world Lucid Prime. Largely due to a ferocious Flesh Tearers counter-attack, Imperial forces are able to drive off the Chaos Space Marine forces terrorising Hive Ratspire. However, the Flesh Tearers continue their indiscriminate killing even after the Chaos renegades have been driven away. Despite Chapter Master Seth's inisistence that his men are purging those that have been tainted by the presence of Chaos, the Space Wolves are outraged and attack the Flesh Tearers at once. The resultant battle sees brother fighting, with the death of many hundreds on either side. This terrible event is known forever more as Honour's End.

Other Chapters:

Deathwatch

Spoiler

Deathwatch members are primarily volunteers from Space Marine chapters that rigidly adhere to the Codex Astartes. Because teams are made up of battle brothers from several Chapters, it is essential they follow a similar doctrine. On the Eastern Fringe of the Imperium, the Inquisitorial Fortress at Talasa Prime has recruited, trained and equipped Kill-teams from the Ultramarines, Scythes of the Emperor and Lamenters Chapters for service against the Tryanids. Even though they are recruited from among a wide variety of Chapters, these battle brothers put aside all Chapter disputes and grievances to fight alongside their new brothers for a common cause. As such, it's not uncommon to find Space Wolves and Dark Angels battle brothers in the same Kill Team for example, each one as willing to die for the other as if they were of their own Chapter.

Very often, these Space Marine volunteers will complete their tour of duty in a Death Watch Kill Team and return to their Chapter, where they are given the right to wear the Deathwatch shoulder pad on their left shoulder in place of their normal armour plate. Their right shoulder plate bears their Chapter heraldry at all times.

Deathwatch Kill Teams consist of a high proportion of Veterans and are often led by Space Marine Captains, though they will on occasion be led by Space Marine Librarians.

Red Dragons Space marine Chapter - The Red dragons call hel their home, but prefer the northern mountains to the lush jungle. The marked distinction of the Red dragons from other companies is that the first stage of the transformation must be earned by rite, like the space wolves. The initiates are trained by veterans of the chapter and taken to mount Nidhogg, there they must find, fight, subdue and tame, but not kill a northern drake. This task is incredibly difficult as it is much more difficult to tame the Northern Drakes than it is to tame the Eastern Drakes, and one or two may have to be killed before one can be found that can be tamed. Nothern drakes differ from their eastern kin used by the Imperial regiments in that they are slightly smaller, heavier and more robust with out the ability to fly, with large diamond hard teeth. After which they are allowed to drink, with their new pet drake, from the chalice of hellfire, at which time The skin of the initiates turn a copper to red color and hardens, the eyes of the red dragons then turn gold. Unlike the space wolves however they share no risk in becoming a beast themselves, although a few exhibit a more drastic reaction than others which causes the betchlers gland to no longer produce a poison or acid but a highly flammable liquid, similar to promethium that ignites on contact with air, allowing them to actually breathe fire. Weather they gain the ability to breathe fire or not, the drinking from the Chalice of Hellfire, permanently bonds the Marine and the Drake.

My Chapter (Homebrewed)

Name: Sons of Odin
Primarch: Odin
Home World: Kyron Prime (Destroyed) Now live on a series of Ships
Picture:


Odin was the first Primarch made by the Emperor. More like a brother than a son. When the Emperor started work on the other primarchs, Odin left to forge his own world. Things went smoothly, then the Horus Heresy set the world alight. A large chaos fleet came to Kyron Prime and set the world alight, making it unhabitable for hundreds of millenium. Odin refused to fight and he took his civilisation outside the known galaxy where they were safe. Eventually, they returned to the galaxy, and Odin discovered that the primarchs wree dead and his brother was gravely injured. He made a pact with the council of terra that all record of his Chapter be expunged, they never existed, but Odin swore to help the Imperium. Chaos has to pay. The Sons of Odin do not believe the Emperor is a god, they are not part of the Imperium, but they do work with them. Like mercenaries.

Warcry: For Odin and the Emperor.

Check my sig.

Ok, so there are reputedly about 1000 Loyalist SM chapters out there in the Imperium doing their thing, so I thought it'd be cool to see what we can come up with here. (This has been done before, but this time I was thinking you could post names/fluff/pictures to make it more complete.)

So is the proof either written or photographic (or other images) proof that a Chapter exists.

For example, the homebrew SM my mate is using in this game are a BA Successor called the Bladed Angels....or are you looking for "official" Chapters only?

EDIT: also, no Cursed Founding on your list?

[Cordova]

Homebrew are good, I shall amend my criteria. Basically, I was just putting up the ones with official GW info, for people to reference if they want to choose a chapter to play, and also to read if they felt like it.

And I will put up the Cursed founding, but it'll take some time, as I should be doing uni work...

[MC Tic Tac]

Grey Knights are a 2nd Founding Chapter, only diffrence is they have no parent Chapter/Legion.

If you included DIY chapters there will be more than the offcial 1000

Either way theres my marines the Sons of Aran (or my bright orange tic tac marines), also BiG_Weasel's White Panthers are an offical GW chapter too.

And where are the Rainbow Warriors and the Space Sharks?

http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...tes/Warhammer/

[Cordova]

Grey Knights have been moved.

I'm getting there, but I have other things, i.e. work that I need to do as well.

Added Sons of Aran

[Baragash]

And where are the Rainbow Warriors and the Space Sharks?

Cordova appears to be adding links in alphabetical order

@Cordova: Homebrew should have their own section IMO, and perhaps the line space between names is unnecessary?

[edmundblack]

Relictors?

What about Scythe's Scythes of the Emperor?

[Cordova]

Yeah. There's already a bit of a filter, i.e. the ones that I put up first have a picture/story, rather than just - appeared in Chapter Approved... Cos other wise I'll be here forever, they're gonna go at the end.

I think I will filter the Homebrew, but I'll think of a suitable way of doing that later

[WindlordRyu]

Midnight Angels
http://40kforums.com/imageupload/images ... 498e27.jpg
They're basically a relic hunting chapter that specialize in stealth and anti-tyranid combat. The composition of their companies is slightly different from what's said in Codex Astartes, they still have 10 companies of 100 men each (10th company is not a scout company, scouts are placed among the other companies. 1th company is still the veteran company). Techmarines have a higher status than in a normal chapter.

Raven Guard successors

[Thatfatguy]

The Brothers of the Blooded Wolves

Homebrewed by me, I deleted the fluff off of here as I am currently rewriting it


and there are many many many many many more than 1000 chapters, as probably 5X that number at least have vanished

Space Sharks BTW
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Space_Sharks

[SGS]

I think you forgot the Salamanders in the first founding list.

[Cordova]

*cough* What? Where...? ...

[Angelofblades]

The Flesh Tearer's page needs to be updated. According to the SW codex, there was an incident between the Flesh Tearers and SW, where the SW got showed up byt the FT and got their *cough*asseskicked*cough* by the Flesh Tearers.

GO FLESH TEARERS!!

[Forgon]

I was wondering two things, again:

First: Who are the rainbow warriors (nothing about them in the Lex.)? And someone know what is the image of a SoB shooting a rainbow warrior?

Secondly: Is there really 1000 chapter, or GW let some space for our homebrewed chapter?

[Cordova]

@AoB - added.

@Forgon - They're just a chapter that existed in the depths of time...
And those above are the Chapters that appear in canon, so the rest will be there for homebrewed I think.

[rohin1204]

Angry marines!

[MC Tic Tac]

Oh theres the Hammers of Dorn (Imperial Fists Successor).

They where created for the last 40k CCG (voted for by fans), with artwork too.

For some reason the lexicom page is only avalible in german

[Cordova]

Updated to here, and added The Emperor's Pointy Sticks.

Let's keep them coming.

[Smrgol]

My home brew: Son's of Scion (formed by Mars to find lost tech - I started them in 4th when you could have Techs as special HQs not as standards like in 5th lol)

And my little bro's: Terranus Sky (an Ultramarine successor)
