FYI - The Chapter so far: Raven Guard = Founding Chapter We were 2nd Founding We are a Fleet-Based Chapter We have a Merchant Fleet Deal (Secondary Income) We own a Prison Ship (Tertiary Income) Segmentum Obscurus is our territory Imperial Guard are our best friends within the Imperium We never Had a Homeworld Every Imperialist has his/her own value in our eyes (open mind - depends from case to case) We Read the Codex.... Once... (Salamanders; adherent only to certain features) Flesh Tearers or Flesh Eaters are our frienemies! Imperial Fists are our serious rivals! We gotta be better than them, waaagh! Carcharodons (aka Space Sharks) are our best buddies! Iron Hands relation: HATRED TO THE DEATH (kinda)! We are to the other Raven Guard successors as close as to Heresy Times; Every Child of Corvus Corax is our Bro! Flagship is... Something totally untypical like an Imperial Navy ship! Our Flaghsips specialty is... Factory included! Our Master of the Fleet: Someone else than 4th company captain We fight different than the Codex dictates We have an extreme overuse of a class We utilize Different Weapons / Patterns than the other chapters Our Super surprising Factory-Flagship is... MOBILE FORTRESS! (like Phalanx, The Rock, A Baoa Qu,Deathstar, Atlantis) Master of the Fleet = Master of the Forge Codex Doctrine difference: Terror Tactics (Night Lords / Deathleaper style) Extreme overuse of: Assaults Unique Pattern #1: @kanila Suggestion - Wrist-Mounted Meltagun for Hull Braching Unique Pattern #2: @Schalli Suggestion - Silenced Jetpacks Frienemy Chapter: Flesh Tearers Current Astartes: 700 (Veteran Company + Scout Company + 4 Battle Company + 1 Reserve Company) Arch-Nemesis: Heretics & Daemons 1 Battle Company is Assaults only! Astartes Battle Fleet, ready to exterminate! (little to no IN ships) Just enough for everyone! (Every Astartes got equipment, but mostly good quality stuff) Not poor, not rich Less than Average Adeptus Mechanicum members [1/2 to # of Astartes] Less than Average Ecclessiarchy participation within the chapter [1/2 to # of Astartes] lenty of Chapter Serfs (more than other chapters) [~2 times more than Astartes] Recruitment by.... MORTAL KOMBAT.... against the other potential Neophytes! (throw a group in the arena, survivors get to become Astartes) Our Fortress Monastery is called Doombringer Primary Astartes Skill: Fighting Skill Secondary Astartes Skill: Fighting Skill We might have participated in: Battle of Gate Forty-Two or other significant Pre-Heresy battle/campaign - Prior to Horus Heresy (HH) Istvaan V (Drop Site Massacre) or other significant HH battle/campaign - HH Dark Marches Crusade or Maxil Beta System or Taninim Crusades or Children's Crusade or one or more of 5th-6th-7th-8th Black Crusade M36-37 Macharian Crusade or Aschen War or 1 or multiple Castigations of Golgotha - M41 Third War of Armageddon or 12th-13th Black Crusade or Orphean War M41(13th & Orphean Currently - still ongoing) We are going to have NEVER A SUCCESSOR CHAPTER! Greatest Heroes are: A Dreadnought guy; could be still serving chapter (max age = 1000 years younger than Bjorn) The First Chapter Master A Master of the Fleet/Forge; could be still serving chapter An Assault Marine (Captain); could be still serving chapter An Assault Marine (non-captain); could be still serving chapter An Apothecary (Regular or Master of the Apothecarion); could be still serving chapter A Librarian (Epistolary or Chief Librarian); could be still serving chapter Dead Astartes are remembered via inscription on a huge list We treat the Enemy by only communicating once our troops are in position, give them one chance to repent or retreat, then blast our way in with arm-meltas if they don't.
Oh the decisions.... A-1,2 and 8 B-2 C- Cemetery World:Mortuus frater. A large underground Catacomb that we send Dead Brothers bodies to rest. D-Attis Markos E-Stopping a massive Chaos advance of a sector F- Special Bolter, Powerfist, and Storm shield. G-4 H- Terror tactics include- Sharpen teeth, Mucho Skull Insignias, and loin cloth/cloaks all around. Armor is kept in working condition, but we don't buff out the previous damage(Like deep scratches, dents, and scorch marks.) More damage to your suit shows you are a veteran. Original Color scheme is shiny Gold and Copper to show who the newbies/inexperienced are. We call them 'The Pure'. Massive amounts of Mark 4 armor, but modern Terminator. Chapter's Insignia is a Golden Eagle foot with black talons.
Regards C. The death ritual is already just to inscribe the names of the dead on a big ol' list. So we don't care about the mortal body (means we probably handle every case different or leave it to the captain or something) But if you guys wanna throw the bodies on a world that doesn't belong to us - sure. ^^
a1a2a8 b1 c1c3c5c7 D2 Linnaeus corvus (because corax in the scientific name of the imperial raven and this is the name of another raven) E2 reconquering an entire sbusector only with fear and terror (stealth terror) ("Prrrrrrr prrrr" "oh nooo this sound we surrender!!")
