Just read this for the 3rd time, it's been saved in my "Inspirational IA" folder :wub: Very well written, it has all the grim darkness of the future i feel a space marine chapter should have. Their arrogance, genetic purity harkens to a third reich feel but i like how you toned it down with the other themes (self-mutilation and such). One question, what is the cause of the mutations on the light side? solar radiation or some such? if so wouldn't the bands of mutant hunters that the Castigators reqruit from potentially have absorbed some of this radiation? I'd assume that any who did would be rejected during the Apothecaries checks but wouldn't it be better to recruit from those with no exposure to the mutation? I love the picture of the standard bearer, it really captures how i would see the Castigators. The abbundance of chains, studs, purity seals and ornamentation as well the whip (my favourite). I'd love to see a conversion based on it, perhaps you could include who contributed which pictures? i'd like to see some more of that fella's work.

Wow, great article you have a really solid writing style. I particularily liked how you tied them to the inquisition as i've seen others do this but never as well as you've accomplished it. Recruitment is also nifty managing to have them live on a pretty much dead world i was wondering how you'd handle it. Modeling wise, they are just plain beautiful love the chapter symbol. Good color scheme and conversions that reflect the fluff, sgt Pallas is my favourite. This is a perfect example of how to pull of a good DIY chapter that impacts all areas of the hobby. I'm in the process of writing my own Hashut renegade chapters fluff, with your scions ties to the inquisition and their crusade against excommunicae chapters i was wondering if you would mind their inclusion?
