Ghosts of War


Recommended Posts

So heres my pitch for my DIY chapter it kinda sounds like a narrative. Following the death of the Emperor, Rogal Dorn became a vengeful crusader who led the Imperial Fists on a great crusade to cleanse themselves of their failure. This crusade culminated with the battle of the Iron Cage in which the Imperial Fists suffered heavy losses but with the help of the Ultramarines the Imperial Fists were victorious and drove the Iron Warriors from the planet of Sebastus IV. Dorn agreed to the restructuring of his legion but not before dispatching his 11th company under the command of Captain Nicodemus Faust to hunt down the Iron warriors who had fled Sebastus IV. Pursuing their quarry into the Eye of Terror the 11th company arrives at an unknown industrial world which had been drawn into the warp.

 

Entering orbit of the planet Faust was forced to order a planetary drop of all personnel as the battle barge Imperial Hammer came under fire from three traitor ships. Upon making planet fall the company discovered that the world’s population were enslaved to the Iron Warriors but had in the majority remained loyal to the Emperor. due to limited resources the 11th company waged a guerilla war over the next 7 years scavenging repairs for there amour from there fallen foes (resulting in their current silver colors) though to differentiate between enemy and ally the company retained the red of their helmets. The war culminated when the main Iron warrior’s fortress was besieged by an army of revolting slaves aided by the main forces that remained of the 11th company. Faust did not lead the assault though, for along with his most trusted and skilled brethren he infiltrated the fortress and sought to cut the head from the snake.

 

Upon entering the citadel Faust came upon the foe he had pursued for the better part of a decade. Warsmith Achlys the butcher, the two warriors entered into a glorious battle that ended when Faust cut down his foe and took his head as his trophy with the intent of presenting it to dorn. Outside the Eye of Terror the passing of 10,000 years had wrought many changes upon the galaxy. Dorn was gone, the legions no longer existed and the imperium was ravaged by war. When a fleet of ships emerged from the Eye of Terror hailing codes from millennia past identifying themselves as Imperial Fists, chaplain Lo Chang was sent to investigate.

 

learning the fate of the galaxy and that the place of the honored 11th company no longer existed within the Imperial Fists chapter Faust along with the remains of his company became an independent chapter naming themselves as the Ghosts of War. The chapter is based out of a mobile fleet and they draw recruits from the former slaves who were liberated by their hand. The chapter also posses many ancient weapons of war such as the Mk14 Bullock Jet Cycle. The chapter specializes in urban warfare and its fleet is currently in campaign against the Ork Empire of Charadon.
