Battle-Brothers of the Ultramarines Chapter know well their place among the Adeptus Astartes and the importance of their Chapter to both the Imperium and the Emperor. One thing that sets a Chapter apart from another are the individual pieces of equipment that the Chapter prefers to carry into battle. When extremes of stress and trauma stretch even the prodigious mental and spiritual strength of a Space Marine, those qualities that make him a glorious exemplar of Humanity may turn him into the very opposite. Since 7th edition, rules for each unit have been delivered on a datasheet (a concise page detailing all stats, equipment, options and special rules for a unit).

Chapter symbols are simple, striking and easily recognisable, and very often related to the Chapter's name. Because Feral Worlds are rough, primitive, and untamed, their inhabitants invariably provide excellent recruits. As to the long term viability of this and other lost Legiones Astartes detachments, it is difficult to say. They make ideal Space Marine recruits, and whole gangs of city-scum are sometimes hunted down and made to undergo the Trials. Occasionally a Space Marine Chapter will establish its Fortress-Monastery in such a place, often due to its position or because the Chapter wishes to maintain its privacy and isolation. Long-settled planets are riven by pollution, the toxic waste of thousands of years of industry seeping into the very bedrock and raining from the skies in a constant downpour.

In spite of the fact that the Primarchs were separated from the Emperor of Mankind through the mysterious actions of the Ruinous Powers of Chaos and scattered through the Warp across the galaxy, He managed to keep a small sample of each Primarch's gene-seed, and used this genetic material to create the first Space Marines by further genetically enhancing His own elite, Terran-born soldiers. Battlezone codices were rules supplements that dealt with a specialised combat environment, instead of an army. 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. The Raven Guard is one of the original First Founding Chapters of the Space Marines and was originally the XIXth Space Marine Legion before the Second Founding and the adoption of the Codex Astartes. Such Chapters may appear superficially to follow the organisational doctrines of the Codex, yet focus on close combats when it comes to delivering victory, or they may actually field an increased proportion of Assault Squads over Tactical or Devastator Squads. 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. Gene-seed cultured in haste is wont to degrade or mutate, and a myriad of other factors might lead to the entire process going awry. One of the few notable exceptions to the typical "1,000 Astartes only" rule, would be the Black Templars Chapter. Although many of these Chapters might adhere closely to the organisation laid down in the Codex Astartes, they nevertheless deviate significantly when it comes to the use of icongraphy, colours and markings, as dictated though necessity or by each individual Chapter's culture: Non-standard company colours applied to Space Marine Power Armour. Although as devoted to the Emperor as any other Space Marine Chapter, the Space Wolves express their faith not in prayer and piety, but in feats of arms. Each Chapter serves collectively with the others of its kind as part of the Imperium of Man's Adeptus Astartes. No homebrew Chapter shall have a home world on a Cardinal World, Forge World (or any other world governed by the Adeptus Mechanicus) or a Daemon World. As an Iron Hands Space Marine matures, that hatred and fear grows ever stronger, resulting in more extreme mechanisations of the Astartes' body.

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. Battle-Brothers that underwent Furthermore, wind-scoured wastes make ideal locations for the Space Marine Fortress-Monasteries, the harshness and inaccessibility of the environment only serving to bolster the Chapter's defences. By limiting the technology levels of a society, curtailing its access to natural resources, infiltrating it with Chapter serfs who spread hate, lies and paranoia, and occasionally even introducing psychosis-inducing substances into the food chain, the Astartes can ensure there is no break in the constant state of warfare that produces the Chapter's next heroes.

Planets once blessed by verdant forests are reduced to ashes, enemies clashing amidst the skeletal remains of the trees. Rules in expansions remain valid unless superseded by a newer publication. When fighting in defence, the Space Marines identify the point the enemy is most likely to assault, and hold it come what may. Dead worlds are those that millennia ago harboured signs of life, but which have long since become lifeless, arid rocks. Many Chapters, however, do not adhere so rigidly to the Codex patterns laid down for the organisation or other processes. Even once the process is underway, it is likely to be at least a century before the new Chapters are ready to take to the field. Of course, most wars fought by the Imperium are viewed as a matter of racial survival, so no justification is required. Mighty battle tanks can smash through the wreckage of once proud buildings, but they are vulnerable to lone enemies armed with tank-busting melta weapons.

Although unwavering in their faith in the Emperor of Mankind and His dream of human unity as embodied in the Imperium of Man, the Iron Hands also believe that human flesh is weak and easily corruptible, and strive to replace their organic bodies with more "pure" bionic substitutes, thus closely emulating the faith of the Adeptus Mechanicus' Cult of the Machine. It is likely that many Chapters have been created with a specific role in mind, whilst others have been founded due to a general increase in the activities of the Emperor's numerous enemies. A common feature of this style of warfare is the unimaginable cost in lives of taking any ground at all. The population of a Medieval World is organised into relatively stable nation states, with complex webs of vassal obligations linking extended groupings. Codices designed for a prior edition of Warhammer 40,000 are still valid in the current edition, unless a later version has replaced it. The only exception to this rule, is when a Chapter is forced to make such an alliance, it shall only be with Craftworld Eldar or the Tau Empire.

The White Scars utilise the Thunderhawk Assault tactic to fearsome effect, ferrying entire bike squads to the front line, which ride down the stunned foe. Many Exposure Trials are impossible to complete, entailing the Aspirant simply staying alive as long as possible. 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.

The Dark Angels and their Successors (also known as The Unforgiven) have a shadowy past hidden by the weight of history and shrouded in the smoke and blood of the Horus Heresy itself. Most Space Marine Chapters maintain their Fortress- Monastery on the same world they recruit from, but this is not always the case. The Space Wolves shelved their plans to create any further Successor Chapters after the disastrous failure of their previous attempt, but in the 32nd Millennium, a Wolf Priest named Thrar "Wyrmblade" Hraldir believed he was close to a breakthrough. Some Trials are far cruder; the Aspirant is simply administered some powerful psychoactive concoction, often distilled from the venom of local predators or the sap of rare plants. Some even seek out such challenges, seeming to prefer life in the wild to that in their Chapter's fortress-monastery or aboard a vessel within a fleet-based Chapter. The Imperial Fists stand as the steadfast defenders of the Imperium and the Emperor's unwavering shield; for ten thousand standard years they have been the bulwark against which the armies of Traitors and aliens have shattered.

The key is finding the right balance of personal interaction that makes all the characters you write about, seem real and lifelike, without having your story devolve into constant bickering and one-upping each other. The last remaining relic of Rogal Dorn, his skeletal hand, is displayed in their fortress-monastery on the Phalanx as a reminder of the ultimate dedication their duty and the Emperor require of the Space Marines. Most Challenge Duels end in the death of the Aspirant, for even an unarmed, unarmoured Astartes is a giant compared to the young, adolescent challenger and well able to slay him with a single blow, intentionally or not. Most notably, Second Founding Chapters, such as the Excoriators, are afflicted by this genetic curse. Deep within the psyche of every Blood Angel is a destructive yearning, a battle fury and blood-hunger that must be held in abeyance in every waking moment. The Salamanders as a Chapter are unusually concerned with civilian casualties compared to most other Space Marines and believe that one of their most important duties is to protect the lives of the Emperor of Mankind's innocent subjects whenever and wherever possible. In addition, the Chapter's gene-seed is generally held to be the purest of all the Adeptus Astartes, and it is so stable that even 10,000 years after its inception, mutation is well within tolerable limits. These Chapters, known as "Non-Codex Compliant" or "Non-Codex" Chapters, are further shaped by their home worlds or the personality of their Primarch, while still maintaining Codex-compliant in other ways. 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. If you would like to determine what sort of terrain dominates the Chapter's home world, chose or randomise from amongst the following possibilities.

Plenty of Chapters use just a single word to sum up their identity (such as the "Rampagers" or the "Subjugators") while others use a proper noun in their title, such as the "Sons of Orar" (Orar being a figure in the Chapters history). All of these possibilities provide the bedrock of the Chapter's legends, which a writer can draw on when it comes to writing about their own Fanon Space Marine Chapter. These traditions come with a rigorous adherence to honour and burning hunger for glory that can lead a Storm Warden to make reckless decisions to uphold the name of his Chapter and earn himself renown among his peers. Some even utilise tactics and weapons inspired by the manner in which their totem creature fights or hunts. Yet such conflicts are common, as Imperial Commanders vie for territory and seek to settle old scores. Though this was done at least once, when the Adeptus Mechanicus secretly Founded the Steel Confessors Chapter by utilising the gene-seed of the Iron Hands. 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. New messages : No new messages : Announce: New messages [ hot ] No new messages [ hot ] Sticky: New messages [ blocked ] No new messages [ blocked ] A divergent Chapter is one that strays from the Codex Astartes, but not by a huge degree. Many First Founding Chapters maintain close links with Chapters created using their own gene-seed stocks, and the Chapter Masters might have a hand in planning future foundings. The Imperial Fists engage in ceaseless duels against one another, sometimes to settle a point of honour but more often to test themselves and their swordsmanship. Despite this, some Chapters have historically excelled at such a form, or are temperamentally suited a type of war that is a unique mix of science and murder. Contact with other planets and peoples is relatively common, amongst the upper echelons of society at least, and the people see themselves as subjects of the greater Imperium. As the prototype of what were to become the Legiones Astartes, they served both as the template for the more specialised Legions that were to come after them and a standard by which these successors would be measured. Some Chapters field a proportion of specialised units that differs from that favoured in the Codex, such as favouring Assault Squads over Tactical Squads, and some even field more than the prescribed ten companies. There would be no need for them to create some sort of 'secret' Chapter, as they would instead, add these additional Space Marines to their already existing Legion.

The warriors conducting the purge are likely to be drawn from elite units such as the Space Marines, who are able to attack swiftly, with overwhelming force, before the enemy can react. Targets are selected so as to cause maximum disruption of enemy command and control nets, with precision strikes called against leaders and communication nodes so that once coherent armies are reduced to disparate masses of uncoordinated and utterly demoralised mobs.

Yet he is counted amongst the most noble and charismatic of the Chapter's leaders, in no small part because the Chapters own identity is so established and ingrained that even the most extreme of outside influences has little or no effect on it. The Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters still suffer from the psychic imprint left by Sanguinius' death (or by the daemonic "wound" caused on Signus Prime). While the Space Wolves recruit exclusively from Fenris, for example, where they also maintain their Fortress-Monastery called the Fang, the Crimson Fists reside on the civilised planet of Rynn's World but recruit from other planets in the region. If only one side places any value in the city, the other is likely to use whatever strategic means it has available to deny it to the other, ranging from long range bombardment to the unleashing of ordnance from battleships in orbit high above.

Below are examples of the most common colour patterns utilised by Codex oriented Chapters: Each Company has a unique colour that its members wear, commonly on their power armour's shoulder plate rims, but some Chapters use chest eagles, bolter cases, knee pads, helmets or other parts of a Space Marine's Power Armour.
