The Long Founding (Warhammer 40k)

What? One made mainly from apothecaries? Then Death Guard, Mortarion was supposed to be a doctor...but he landed on a planet which had followers of Nurgle, which I will say, is ironic as fuck.
 
So basically if we wanted Grimm to have "his own Space Marine Chapter", then these guys would need to be more "Capital-E Elite Apothecaries" than "Protectors"?

I mean that and the fact that he really doesn't want one.

Like really, really doesn't want one.

More closer debt collectors or taxers that works with problematic chapters.
And even than it's less 'Grimms Space Marine Chapter' and more just a chapter that does a job that already needed doing.

The last thing he needs or wants is even more jobs to do and thats what a personal chapter ultimately would be (He'd be obliged to help with upkeep).... nevermind having even more idiots interfering with his existing work from the rest of the Imperium.

Edit

... Anyway I feel like this line of though has worn out.

Now I have a question.... would a giant space station in the form of a human hand making a rude hand gesture at the Eye of Terror be too absurd or would it fit in with 40ks extremeness, the chapters legendary spite trait, and the fact that spite structures are already a thing IRL?

The closest would be a chapter dedicated to helping with the Gene-Seed tithe buts a very different thing from what most people are proposing.

A chapter made to collect the tithe would need to be trusted beyond belief. They need to be very able in defense and fleet-based to transport the extremely valuable cargo. They'd also need very good chaplains to ensure no Chaos seeps into their ranks. I feel like other chapters would likely want to send their own people to 'help' out.
 
You know, I wonder how Grimm is perceived by the Space Marines and the Imperium at large. Do the marines think he is cool? Overstepping? Kind of a weirdo but ok? Does every institution of the Imperium flood his inbox with requests for personal chapters?
Thar Ariak Hraldir from the space wolves is probably wishing he had Grimm expertise and help, assuming he's even born yet.

That is the most fucking spiteful thing to do...and somehow it sounds like something Angry Marines would do...but with the station being words "FUCK YOU!" but yeah...Legendary Spite? Yep.
 
giant middle finger fortress phalanx manned by angry marines descended from iron warriors with legendary spite

It wouldn't be too absurd, rather too comical in the context of wider Galaxy but I doubt it would be a hand, that shows any rude gesture, seems to...Modern, so to speak. More fitting would be Imperial aquila with both heads pointing towards the Eye.
 
Troy v2 needs 3 more Votes to beat the current lead, if people want Entrenchment over Librarians.
Which, at least to me, sounds reductive. Siege Mastery already provides near limit of mortal fortification especially given the good relationship with the Guard.
Librarians on the other hand would provide a possibility of arcane wards to protect fortresses from daemons and sorcery, not to mention other offensive abilities it would grand, like disarming the wards of sorcerers' hidy holes
 
Or like proposed, quite a possibility of them foreseeing coming of Black Crusaders or raids of Chaos Astartes. I can already imagine them teaming up with the Verdant Eyes.
Steel Champion: Do you see it?
Verdant Eye: Yep.
SH: That is fuckery made by Eldari.
VE: We know...we get Eldard drunk and he spilt the shit that was done free millennia back.

Honestly, I would assume a Big fuck off Statue doing something like. Not sure the middle finger since 40k is similar and difference with slang, curses, and mannerisms but the general thing there I would think yes. If the the middle finger station is done I imagine it would be more blocky boxes in the shape of a hand and middle finger. I would say them making a Spite Structure in some way to the Eye of Terror would fit right in with 40k.
 
I feel the need to point out that the reason that we're creating this chapter is to defend the solar segmentum. Entrenchment training will allow us to fortify important planets in case of invasion. Redundant or not, these abilities stack making it that if we roll badly, the outcome itself will not be to severe. The light bringers rolled a single digit number and it was only because of their buff that prevented something terrible from happening.

but we also do not want our defenders becoming corrupted which would be a even worse loss morally for the imperium

Yes, siege masters is that trait for Steel Champions; entrenchment would probably turn +30 or +40 into +50. Which is nice, don't get me wrong, but Librarians probably would also help with that, especially if they discover wards of runed artillery or other stuff that will help them beat chaos given that most of it has some resistance to normal damage, but not psychic powers.

hmmm runic or warded fortresses would be pretty useful

Imagine our Iron Warriors second most-hated enemy (after Chaos) were Eldar, because "if not you, then I wouldn't have a problem with constantly seeking this thing *points towards Eye of Terror*"
