The Cobalt Justiciars Heralding from the Ultima Founding, the Cobalt Justiciars are a Codex-compliant chapter of Adeptus Astartes tasked with the adjudication of the Emperor's justice in the Scarus Sector. They specialize in rapid deployment, spearheading footholds in key points of large-scale conflicts, subsequently establishing reinforced forward positions from which to harry the enemy relentlessly, while simultaneously offering line support to bolster bulk forces. They are adept at utilizing every means at their disposal to achieve battlefield advantages. Whether it's deploying to cut off supply lines or seeking the heart of the conflict to eliminate high-value threats, the assessment and execution upon pivotal opportunities make them a force to be reckoned with. The Cobalt Justiciars field a bolstered array of armored vehicles augmented above the standard of most other chapters. Unique to this chapter is a vast cadre of additional baseline troops and personnel that also deploy alongside them following thrust deployments. Once the leading Cobalt Justiciars clear the way, their Tech Marines, allied Techpriests and engineer corps establish temporary strongholds that can serve to completely alter the tide of battle. From these operating points they utilize Chimera tanks and artillery to devastate enchroaching foes and punish fortifications. The chapter is ideal for turning the tide of large-scale engagements where precision strikes the Astartes are known for are not feasible. They are called upon when the need arises for a perfect balance between attack and defense, and to galvanize beleagured allied forces. Their battle prowess is drawn from pragmatism and a desire to preserve as much Imperial influence and strength as possible. They value the people of the Imperium and understand the necessity of protecting assets other chapters ignore. They also serve to step in where Imperial leadership falters, with their senior leadership often taking on temporary governing roles to reorganize and invigorate Imperial forces and populations. Commensurate to their battlefield responsibilities, they often work to administer Imperial justice to maintain order, serving as intermediaries between disparate allied factions. They embody order, strength and the will required to revitalize Imperial domains, knowing full well that if the galaxy was to once again shine in the light of the Emperor's great vision, they must part the darkness for the empire to see it.

Belial stood stock still as he watched the aspirants training below. They were still new and sloppy compared to those serving under his command. But his thoughts were turned inward to the recent events over Fenris. With his armor being repaired, several fresh scars were visible on his exposed arms. The quiet whirring of servos announced the arrival of a Chaplain overseeing the training of the Tenth Company. With helmet in hand and his hood pulled up, his identity was safe from the Aspirants. “A bitter campaign is being fought behind those eyes and you are not alone. Many of the Circle are also on a similar campaign.” “How did we not see? How were we blinded to the enemy right in front of us? A Knight of Titan and the leader of the Wolves were not swayed but so many of us were.” “They had knowledge that we did not possess.” “Then perhaps it is time to fill in the blanks. It is time to send out envoys to the Legio B&C.” “It will be done.” The Inner Circle presents: Praeteritis Historiam Belli INTRODUCTION: The Praeteritis Historiam Belli is replacing the Legends of the Angels and is a Forum Wide Event aimed at participants creating unique stories about a character, squad or chapter.

It may be even a lowly neophyte or a veteran Sergeant. • Think of a game you played where this particular model did very well. Eg: A devastator lascannon marine who took out three tanks? A scout sniper who did the enemy commander in? A chaplain who led an amazing charge... you get the idea…. • Write down how the battle took place building around the model in question. • Then go back and add some information about the early years and then follow up with the aftermath. • Keep reading it again and again and you will find that you can add additional details to flesh things out and voila!!

This is my first attempt at fan fiction, I know I'm not the best writer but I just wanted to show you guys something I came up with the last couple days. I'm open to CC so let me know if there are elements that are lacking. Let me know what you all think. http://fantasybrainstorm.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-burden.html

Hi everyone I'm creating g a homebrew ultramarines successor but I'm struggling with the name. I was originally calling them the storm consuls but I think I could do better. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to share. This chapter specializes in fast attack units like the white scars like how the doom eagles act like the raven guard
