What do you mean?
The Black Legion is made up of numerous smaller warbands that pledge allegiance to Abaddon
I know that, what I mean is, when they asked about how the warbands work, are they asking about if they can summit Black Legion warbands, or that if the inner workings of the Black Legion are different that what they are in canon?

This. I have an idea of "minor" Black Legion Warband made of Blood Angels, Dark Angels & their Successor Chapters (working name: either "Angels of Abbadon" or "Black Angels"), and I wanted to Ask whenever it would fit "your version" of Black Legion
Canonically, the Black legion takes in anyone, so yes, you could have an amalgamate warband of those gene-lines. The main thing when writing them would be how could the Blood Angel marines work with what effectively are the Legion whose Primarch killed Sanguinius. The Dark Angel are viable. I mean Vortigern is one of the Black Legion head honchos and he's a Fallen.

I feel that if Vortigern had ever "failed" Abbadon in some way, then Alpha Legionaires among Black Legion would "deliver" him to The Rock (to end like every other Fallen that got captured by Dark Angels)
I am rereading the lezo war and just comes to me how useful it is we are giving the info on our navy corruption Investigation to the sector lord seeing most of the possible successors
Of the lord Admiral post are in one way eather in mistuhides palm or tryng to get her favor
Cartegan can use this info to make asdrubal nephew his creature to do what he will and clean up the navy under his direction
Well taking away her influence of course just leaves her hold of the priesthood on lezo and the head adept
As well any influence she has over Maeror

Deep within the bowels of the Mist Shrikes Fortress Monastery, the sons of Konrad Curze were ever hard at working training for the next fight. Any conceptions of an Astartes being invincible angels of death usually evaporates once a Marine ascends and has their first taste of battle, seeing beloved battle brothers and venerated officers be slain by the alien, mutant and heretic. While the Shrikes may have won victory after victory over the decades, none are so ignorant as to believe that defeat is impossible, and with the greatest test of the Chapter to come, the taking of Yerma, everyone when not deployed is fully consumed with training, pushing beyond their limits to be the Emperor's greatest weapons.
One area in which most Astartes have focused on in the last couple of years is marksmanship. While the chapter has gone far beyond their starting quality, they have never truly dedicated themselves to supermacy in ballistic warfare save for the 10th Company where a single shot has often decided many campaigns. Part of it was due to the simple constraints of time and building a Chapter from four veterans, the other half was the age old debate of Sword vs Bolter where many Mist Shrikes as countless Astartes before them preferred to lock blades over firing shots, a debate that Severus could attest to being alive and well at the start of the Great Crusade.
So far the Mist Shrikes had been carried by their "relics" from the Great Crusade, but such superiorities wouldn't last forever, especially in wake of the great Tyrannic march, the upcoming Drukhari invasions and doing battle with a full Chapter of Marines centuries their senior. Thus everyone must improve, whether it be on the firing line, in the kill houses, or performing walks outside against the various wildlife of Luctus.
Three leading officers of the Mist Shrikes were in particular honing their skills with the gun, providing a firm example for the lower Battle Brothers, Nowalijiki and Neophytes to follow.
Captain Gallineus of the 3rd Company is at the firing line, working with the Stalker Bolter to deliver great and clean one shot kills to targets of increasing difficulty, performing feats that would be impossible for almost all Guard snipers. As he has been selected to take part in Yerma, Gallineus and the other officers of 2nd, 3rd and 10th company must deal with the challenge of fighting against Chaos Space Marines, relative equals. With the Eyes of the Mutator to have defender's advantage and perhaps greater numbers, every shot shall count and like the fine scalpel that the Emperor and Primarchs used the Astartes as ten millenia ago, they must kill each enemy in one shot to deliver victory as swiftly as possible.
Chief Victualler Cato Urica is practicing with dummy bolter rounds to deliver a hailstorm of bolts against practice automotans that the Techmarines had created to mimic the Luctusian wildlife along with human-ish foes meant to mirror an Imperial Guard regiment. For Cato, he was unleashing his anger against a foe in place of the heretic regiments, a rebellion for which he feels great shame in failing to spot even though none of the Founders placed any towards him. Well....all except Valzadai who Cato noticed act heavily on guard with Cato for a while and probed him for Nurgle infection. Cato is carrying a great deal of rage and he knew he must step up, especially with the entombment of Domitia. Luctus must never know the blight of Chaos and Cato will ensure it remains pure.
Lastly was Master of Sanctity Falce. Unlike most Astartes, Falce was not carrying out practice of ultra precision or tearing apart great mobs of enemies to shreds, he was merely performing simple drills with heavy weaponry such as the flamer and assault canon. This was an exercise of Falce facing his own mortality, for similar weapons would likely be used on the Contemptor dreadnought he knew was all but reserved for him, where he would be entombed in less than a decade. Falce had come to terms with his mortality years ago, and either he'd die in the great Battle for Yerma, or he'd be another Dreadnought and join Spartia and Domitian as the Chapter's metal titans. In the outcome where he survives Yerma, Falce is getting used to heavy weaponry in preparation, so that once he is entombed his body is well used to the tactics involved and he won't flounder like Spatha.
These three and hundreds more trained day after day, for the coming battles so their demise may be delayed and their service to the Emperor be as long lasting and glorious as possible. They are the Emperor's finest warriors, they are nightmares made manifest.

Since you still haven't chosen a reward, may I suggest adding the 100 xp to Secutor's Willpower? Then he'll only be 63 away from increasing a level.
Yeah sure why not.
First of all, great writing.
Second,
Second,
I hope we can name it after Yerma.
Very nice. I like the detail of how the three mentioned characters are practicing with weapons according to their skillsets, and the reasons they all have for practicing. Canonized, and as a Reward you have 100 Ballistic Skill XP to give to one of three notables mentioned.

@ThunderOwl when I was reading through the Informational it seemed like you forgot to add the Combat Shields to the equipment load outs beyond the 10th and 9th.
So with inquisitor drama how much would you be looking forward to when the Shrikes interact with more cliques that would have a GC veteran look at them funny even if those cliques know the full truth of the Shrikes origins. Ironically if one of the serfs or a promising fan of the shrikes from a retinues becomes an inquisitor and knows of Severus's origins, they could start a new clique bent on reviving the Imperial Truth.
@ThunderOwl speaking of inquisitors don't know if this was asked already how many of the inquisitorial enclave know our true origins
Besides the low likelihood of us ever getting the schematics to make a Leviathan Dreadnought, what are our odds of finding a Deredao pattern Dreadnought? How do you guys feel about this one?

Edit: a reminder that the Leviathan was considered the most powerful dreadnaught, but kills the pilot faster. If we really want it we'll need to make some friends with the guilds of Terra responsible for making the machine, or finding a Leviathan wreck to study.

At least it doesn't kill the user like the leviathan
I'd want it
I'd want it
I guess use it for Gallineus.
Also, Gallineus higher rank is Ballistic 4 versus Weapon 2, shouldn't he have something stronger than a Bolt Pistol?

I want both man. If we get the Deredao and get the clearance to mod it, we could add Dreadnought grade Jumppacks and turn it into a fucking Armored Core, which, if I'm gonna be honest. The protagonist in Armored Core 6 was pretty much a limbless potato stuck in his mech, and he was able to go 200mph at the drop of dime and turn just as fast.
Just saying. A 3 dimensional moving, fast as fuck brick shithouse marine would be cool.
Yeah that ain't happening
If anything it would only allow it to jump a dozen Metter and ruin some poor Fuckers day

Getting the Dreadeo is one thing but modifying it aside from making sure it work tgats not happening. In terms of getting it out best bet would probably be to just nik it off the iron warriors. It would be a good dread to get byu the downside is that it has absolutely no melee capabilities
Enough dakka us usually a good substitute
