So, it's been a while since I've worked on getting a DIY chapter done and completed but I feel inspired after reading through some the of more recent lore to do with the Indomitus Crusade, Great Rift and the whole Dark Imperium. Hopefully this time I'll be able to avoid the butterfly syndrome and get a solid idea. In any case, here's some rough notes of what I've got so far: Ultramarines Successor Main themes Headhunters/barbarians/revenants/spectre Embrace death/vengeance/sacrifice Chapter assaulted Reforms in Indominus Crusade, form ties during time Homeworld Baratrum (?)Purgatory Locals think world is test by Emperor World lost during the Great Rift and chapter ended up regrouping Reclaimed during Indominus Crusade Mountains? Highlands Recruitment Chaplains inspired by Moirai agent/shamans bring promising recruits to trials’ Families believe their sons die and become spectres Organisation Companies are more autonomous/independant than in codex eg space wolves(?) Marines progress in company as a team, squads gain favour while 1st squad are veterans (?) Return to Codex with Primaris reform? Librarians form two orders:closer to witcher(Improve own abilities, speed etc), farseers predicting threats Beliefs By becoming astartes, chapter believes they’ve sacrificed their humanity so others may hold onto it. Cold/Detached Emperor made ultimate sacrifice to defeat Horus and is perfect example of what to aspire to. Tech Priests are rather separate within chapter due to Emperor/Omnissiah conflict. Bionics are used only when needed Beliefs diluted due to Primaris newblood? Tactics Shock and Awe/Ambush prefered. Take out head and create panic. Terror tactics see Raven Guard Less focus on armour
