The Long Founding (Warhammer 40k)

Voting is open
[ ] Coloder: A part ice part ocean planet the local tribes of Coloder mainly survive by living atop icebergs large enough to hold entire cities. These cities are often besieged by predators from the sea, air, and 'land' alike. (Near Terra).
hahaha, right, right. Living on Icebergs and under constant attack, ice so Space Wolves is first instinct but I wonder what else would be good choices here.
Coloder (and also Extrema) seem to be similar to the world where Rogal Dorn was raised, therefore Imperial Fist would be my guess
 
Emperor and Sons React 2
Welcome back, another react chapter from me and I tried out a new format. Tell me what do you guys think.

Emperor and Sons react to The Dark Pereginers.

Emperor: ALRIGHT MY SONS, IT SEEMS WE HAVE NEXT THING CHAPTER.
Gulliman: I hope it is mine.
Konrad: I doubt that given how common your successor chapters are there.
Gulliman: True, I would not be surprised if my…well, other self is in contact with Archmagos we follow.
Jaghatai: At least through the vids, your arrogance lessened.
Lorgal: I agree, before you were very much pompous.
Gulliman: Well…I was not THAT bad.
Jaghtai: True, Fulgrim was worse.
Fulgrim: Hey!
Emperor: ALRIGHT MY SONS, LET'S CALM AND ENJOY WHAT ARCHMAGOS GRIMM COOKS UP.

:::2nd Chapter - Prologue:::

Your success with the first chapter has led to some interesting 'requests' being left at your proverbial doorstep.

Of course you could accept one of the requests or you could continue on with your work as it is.

The choice ultimately is yours.

For once in your life.


Angron: Argh, you are one of the lucky ones.

Archmagos looked over the requests, he could ignore them but maybe something would catch his interest.

He sees requests about creating a chapter to help defend realms of Ultamar, not surprising, even if most chapters are made from Ultramarines gene-seed they can do so much with only 1000 Astartes, often not even hitting that ceiling or having a larger amount of technamarines and other specialised Astartes.


Gulliman: That is…not surprising, maybe there would be few holes in defence and usually would not be as dangerous…but we know what happened.
Angron: You were put in the chair and quite possibly used as jerk-off material for pilgrims.
Gulliman: Please, brother, don't remind me…
Emperor: SON, AT LEAST YOU ARE NOT USED AS MASTURBATION MATERIAL BY NUNS WITH GUNS.
Gulliman: I am not sure which is worse really.
Corvuz: Both are bad, can we agree on that?

Another request is clearing remnants of Traitor Solar Auxiliar which sided with Horus during the heresy, either because of loyalty, fear or taste of dark powers that came from rounius powers. Either way, they are a nuisance for several worlds and making a chapter that will get rid of them is a must. It would need to be a fleet-based chapter, already have someone in mind for this but let's see the rest.

Konrad: chuckles Well little crow…it will be fun.
Corvus: Gives him not amused side glance You and your visions.
Sangunius: At least those are not grim dark ones.

Whoever made this request truly likes to play with fire. They want a chapter that specialises in fighting Khorne. That would be slightly complicated to do given they are experts in close quartes combat and their anty-psyker aura. Something to think about with right resources.

Magnus: Yes, that will be truly complicated especially if we put traitor World Eaters into the equation.
Leman: Yeah, it would be foolish to create a chapter that specialises in CQC to fight daemons and followers of the reality tumour that specialises in that.
Jaghtai: I believe my sons would not be bad for this.
Perturabo: And mine, given that in one of the vids, my sons truly outmanoeuvred Daemon Primarch Angron and his sons.
Angron: Yeah, it was satisfying.

And now request from 'Inquisition' for want to create a chapter that will focus on capturing their targets 'alive'. Yeah, let's move on and not comprehend what they want. Headache with how they waste resources is horrendous. Much more when Perturabo killed most of his sons because he saw them as not worthy.

Perturabo: grimaces slightly I truly was that bad at the time.
Lorgal: You are much better brother.
Perturabo: feels the gaze of the Eye Yeah…better.

The last request (so far) is about creating a chapter to defend Solar Segmentum, especially Terra (or how religious nuts started calling it Holy Terra but it is in small numbers). Even with Imperial Fists and Rogal Dorn there, more help would be good, especially when Imperium is still recovering from Heresy.

Rogal: I am slightly offended that he sees the defences of Terra as not good enough.
Fulgrim: Let's be truthful brother, Heresy was costly and it is barely after it…I imagine at the time, they did not recover enough.
Rogal: That still upsets me.
Konrad: Laughing to himself from irony that he saw
Emperor: Checks Konrad's vision and chuckled at what he saw
Horus: Giving both of them a weird look

After solid thinking, Archmagos Grimm picked a request called 'Clearing Remnants' which sounds appropriate and letting them fester would be a bad idea.

Additionally, you have some time for some…. Politics.
You hate it… but it's how you get what you need.


Primarchs who are less politically tolerant understand what Archmagos is saying while those more inclined into politics look slightly confused.

Archmagos looked at the options, he could gain extra dreadnoughts, land speeders, assault bikes, predators and thunderhawks to equip the chapter with.

And there is a Traitor gene-seed.


Gulliman: So even then, they used it.
Lion: I would not be surprised if it was hidden from the chapter itself unless necessary.
Lorgal: Or unless they discover it themselves.

Archmagos only acquired extra thunderhawks, given they will be deeply useful for the chapter that will be focused on destroying the fleet.

He moved on to the 'modifier' section which he likes to call, which contains a few charges that are put in gene-seed, mostly to make it more potent or adaptable. Useful when you want to make extra sure that the chapter you are making is top-notch. Finest gene-seed would be great, especially for what you plan.


Emperor: HMMM, I PRESUME THEY USED A NOTES FROM MY RESEARCH ON GENE-SEED,
Magnus: Father, are you saying that you planned some of these charges for our legions?
Emperor: YES, I WAS THINKING THAT BUT GIVEN YOU, MY SONS, DIDN'T HAVE THAT HARD TIME WITH RECRUITS AND CRUSADE, I BELIEVED TO BE UNNECESARY AT THE MOMENT.
Gulliman: I guess given that because of me, Chapters were created, those charges would be much more useful.

:::2nd Chapter creation - The Dark Pereginers:::

Leman: Let's see who is the lucky bastard who will be chosen as a gene-father.
Sangunius: The name sounds edgy…
Magnus: Oh…
Corvus: What?
Konrad: Louder laughing

Name: Dark Peregrines
Colors: Primary black, Secondary gold
Symbol: A peregrine falcon in black diving towards the ground with its back half made to look like a lightning bolt
Chapter Creed: From the Dark. Like Thunder


Leman: Well…I give a bonus to the creed.
Corvus: Those are my sons I presume.
Konrad: Yes!
Horus: You are uncharacteristically happy.
Rogal: How can he be-
Perturabo: Slaps Rogal Be quiet.

Recruitment and Structure: The Dark Peregrines lack a proper homeworld and as such tend to pick up their recruits from Imperial worlds along the paths they travel. Unlike standard Space Marine chapters the Dark Peregrines companies are each able to recruit and train their own scout marines. This is a necessity due to the fact that each of the chapters companies are scattered throughout the Imperium at any given time and in turn each company is far larger than most codex compliant chapters as a result. Due to the scattered nature of Dark Peregrines the Chapter Master only truly makes decisions when more than one company is fighting in a given campaign. When a rare meeting of all of the chapter's companies is called, decisions are often made via a council of the company captions.

Corvus: Ha! They are pulling Black Templars!
Rogal: Grumbles
Horus: But less angry.
Magnus: I can imagine they will still write poetics.

Combat: The Dark Peregrines are masters of voidborn combat among Space Marines and are just as adept at blasting appart enemies at range as they are at boarding actions. In ground combat they often attack the enemy with unrelenting deep strikes into any possible weaknesses. More often than not these attacks are composed of forces that have an above average amount of Assault Marines in their ranks, can count on consistent support from Thunderhawks, and even have a high chance of being able to count on further orbital support if a given enemy does not extensively pressure the companies fleet.

Corvus: Smile of approval
Konrad: Believe me little crow…it will be better.

Notable Battles of the Dark Peregrines
- The Dark Peregrines spend the vast majority of their early history in a long campaign called 'The Reaping' during which the chapter systematically hunted down and brutally slaughtered countless traitor Solar Auxillia. During one battle so many traitor Solar Auxillia sworn to the Dark Prince were killed that a third force of Daemons loyal to the Blood God had manifested to join the battle, leading to an intense three way fight that ultimately ended in the Dark Peregrine's victory.


Corvus: Good job my sons.
In the alternative future, suddenly The Dark Pereginers felt a surge of happiness and pride, which made them double in destroying any followers of chaos or traitors of the Imperium of Man and God-Emperor.

-Shortly after the destruction of the traitor Solar Auxillia the Dark Peregrines were then called to eliminate some of the very first Imperial Navy detachments to go rogue. A task they carried out with some efficiency that all vessels were later reclaimed by the Imperial Navy mostly intact.
-The Dark Peregrines are deployed to deal with an increase in Ork Piracy… it would be a herald of a disaster to come.
-While mopping up the remnants of the Ork Pirates the Dark Peregrines are attacked by Warboss Gitchcrusher and his ship the 'Dakkageddon', the latter of which being a roughly battleship sized construct with so many guns on it that it was propelled by the recoil of it's backward facing guns instead of conventional thrusts. Unfortunately for the Dark Peregrines the two companies that had been in the area were both nearly destroyed. Due to the casualties taken the 4th and 7th companies were forced to focus on rebuilding while the rest of the chapter sought vengeance.


Mortarion: Xenos….
Lorgal: And his hate boner shows up again…
Fulgrim: Could be worse.

-Incensed by the loss of two full companies the Dark Peregrines deploy with nearly their full force for the first time since the chapter's creations destroyed the Gitcrushers WAAAAAGH through the liberal usage of Nova Cannon shells.

Konrad: chuckles Ah yes, an American way of doing things.
Emperor: HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
Konrad: Just creepily smiles
Emperor: Deadpanned expression

-Having returned to full strength just in time for the Age of Apostasy the Dark Peregrines were some of the very first Imperial institutions to take a stand against Van Dire's treachery and ambition. It is said that their reprisals against the rogue Ecclesiarch's forces were so ruthless that even today the Dark Peregrines are considered by many to be a scourge sent by the Emperor to kill the disloyal and the weak.
-Basillius the Elder out of 'concern' after having found a full 40 Chapters to be tainted pressured the high lords to be allowed to extend his judgment to another 200 chapters. The Dark Peregrines caught wind of this and 'volunteered' to be the first chapter to take on this new trial starting with their first company. When said first company arrived with the backing of several Inquisitors and very detailed records of the Age of Apostasy the Imperial 'Saint' very quickly dropped his agitation and withdrew his requests in short order. It would remain the sole black mark on his record until his later revelation as a follower of Chaos years later.


Emperor: LAUGH IN ATHEIST
Lorgal: Ugh…why me…

-After a major defection the Dark Peregrines are deployed against a rogue fleet of the Imperial Navy… no traitors survived.
-While on patrol against pirates the 8th Company of the Dark Peregrines finds itself under attack by the Red Corsairs. The fighting was fierce but the Red Corsairs boarding parties were repelled in short order from all Dark Peregrine ships and the Chaos Marine pirates were soon tracked to their local anchorage. The Dark Peregrines then blew up the anchorage using one of the many forgotten weapons they had 'confiscated' from traitor Imperial Navy over the years.
-A sudden surge in both Traitor Guard and pirates forces the Dark Peregrines to engage in a century-long crusade that saw the chapter's infamous reputation among the mortal forces of the Imperium enforce itself even further.


Corvus: I guess they are more of the busy chapters.
Horus: Especially at the state of the Imperium, even before the Age of Apostasy thing.

Diplomatic Relations
Space Marines: For a long time other Space Marine Chapters saw the Dark Peregrines as being merely loyalist Night Lords that would at best perform sub-par when put up against actual Space Marine level opponents. The recent battle with the Red Corsairs has disabused this notion and seen an increase in respect for the Dark Peregrine's chapter among its peers.


Corvus: OY!
Konrad: Smile immediately dies replaced with grimace Ugh…

Inquisition: The Inquisition has used the Dark Peregrines chapter on many occasions to deal with a wide variety of traitors to the Imperium, as such the chapter is widely considered to be reliable by most Inquisitors.
Sisters of Battle: The Sisters of Battle consider the mere presence of the Dark Peregrines to be a sign that treachery has occurred due to the chapter's reputation as the Emperor's scourge. While this doesn't always mean aggression directed at the Dark Peregrines it does mean the Sisters of Battle become significantly more likely to burn fellow Imperial forces to death when the Dark Peregrines are nearby.


Lion: Oh great, they become more like Salamanders.
Vulkan: That is mean brother!
Lion: I don't care.

Imperial Navy: While the average captain of the Imperial Navy fears the Dark Peregrines the higher ups actually do tend to appreciate the chapters tendency to reclaim uncorrupted lost navy ships instead of just blowing them up.
Imperial Guard: No one in the Imperial Guard ever wants the Dark Peregrines to show up. They might occasionally resent Space Marines for taking all of the credit but they fear the Dark Peregrines and the consequences they often bring.
Ecclesiarchy: The Ecclesiarchy makes a habit of executing the leadership of any Shrine World that a Dark Peregrine fleet visits under the assumption that only a deep betrayal could attract the Scourge of the Emperor to such a soly system.


Emperor: LOUDER LAUGHING
Lorgal: Ugh….
Magnus: Mistakes were made brother.

Relics
-The Banner of Judgement: A banner said to have been used by the Dark Peregrines from their earliest days the Banner of Judgement is said to shatter the minds of any mortal human that dares to look upon it, even those that had already been broken by the power of chaos.
-The Dreaded 24: A set of 24 Bolters whose machine spirits are said to despise traitors of all strikes. The bolter rounds fired from these weapons are said to inflict such agony upon any traitor they hit that even the most deprived servants of the Dark Prince are brought to pathetic whimpering up feeling their wrath.

Vid ended.


Leman: Well…that was bloody interesting.
Emperor: Finally calm down I BELIVE IT WAS SATISFYING.
Lorgal: Not surprised given you are turned on by destroying anything religion-related.
Emperor: I AM NOT THAT BAD!
Primarchs: Give deadpanned gazes
Emperor: ANYWAY, SHALL WE CONTINUE?
Alpharious&Omegon: Knowing chuckles

I will say, one of the most annoying parts was colouring the texts :\/
 
Kornan ll seems like a place that needs a special type of aide from Night Lords/Luna Wolves and Ikkite+Assassinating(Not all) Chapter mission would pair well with Imperial Fists/White Scars.
 
Oh yeah, where do we put Chapter of Iron Warriors? Do we put them in a world where there is only one place where you can enter and leave the planet? Was that gravitational well?
 
I want to set up an iron worriers chapter on that planet between two forge worlds at war with itself. Make it more adaptive. That will help things a lot and they will be able to get free tech from both sides! Also make it a fortress world.
 
I don't think that one is good idea given more diplomatic chapter would be needed. I believe either Ice planet or one with Gravity Wall would be better.
 
I have to say... I'm probably going to suffer for realizing this but given you've already been plotting to put em on the Imperil Truth Planet.

The Word Bearer special trait is that they have a habit of spreading the customs/culture/belief of the planet you put them on around.

Kinda like inverse Ultramarines who take extra traits for themselves from the planet.

..... oh. well than, that's kind of ironic. and dangerous thing we need to account for. So putting them on the Imperial Truth Planet would have them spreading around the Imperial truth like how they were mean to... also will spread any customs/culture/belief of any planet we put them on. That can do a lot.

Oh shit, so the Ultra Smurfs can take two traits for themselves from the planet? would Adaptive Geneseed stack with that for three traits from the World?
 
Religious War? Atheist v Faith?
War?
One chapter vs the rest of the imperium doesnt really sound like it will lead to something that can be called a war

I think just 2 or 3 black templar crusader fleets should be enough to wipe out even significantly above average chapters, unless that chapter was significantly above the vauge guidelines gives by the codex, in which case they would be struck down for insurection

I'm kind of interesting if our political capital will take a hit for creating such a chapter, but consider the quest we will probably roll in a way that the chapter will avoiding any and all negative consequences for spreading militant atheism in an authoritarian theocracy (and if they don't then it doesnt matter, because that particular roll was a joke anyways)

I just hope that they will quickly be extinquished or nutrelised, because what we have seen from Imperial Truth Word Bearers (Imperial Heralds), they have shown themselves to be a perfect abomination of ISIS and early soviets style authoritarian state enforced atheism

Now that i think about it, they might have actually been the only legion specializing in genocides against other humans.

(I can't belive we're doing this)
