________ (Being Really Remade)


Recommended Posts

Created in M38 as part of the Twenty-Third founding, the Knights Inclement were designed to be an orbital strike chapter. Led by Chapter Master Lycurgis Pluvias, they engaged in many conflicts against Orks in the Rentac system. They were successful and efficient, with one of the lower casualty rates in the region. However, after assisting the Imperium in establishing a settlement on Rentac VI, things would change for the Knights.

 

OK, I thought Concrete Falcons was kind of silly. Knights Inclement is worse. It makes them sound slightly vexed.

 

Chapter Master Pluvias decided, much against regular procedure, to institute his entire chapter as a planetary defence force on Rentac VI.

 

That's a waste of men and materiel. There is less than one Space Marine for every world of the Imperium. Which means these guys are getting approximately 100000% of the attention they deserve. This is a much bigger deal than you seem to think.

 

He also started spending much of his time in the company of Planetary Governor Bennett, often bringing with him the Captains of 2nd, 5th, 6th, 8th and 9th companies. The other Captains were curious, but paid little attention to it, dedicating their time to griping over being stuck as a PDF. However, First Captain Peregrius became more than a little suspicious of his Chapter Master’s activities, and decided to investigate as much as he could without drawing suspicion upon himself. However, before he could discover much, the answer was thrust upon him. He awoke one night to a transmission from a 4th company Sergeant, saying that members of the 2nd, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 9th, as well as the Chapter Master, his retinue, and elements of Bennett’s Planetary Guard had opened fire on them during their watch, and that similar reports were coming from all over the city. Peregrius quickly armed himself and made his way through his barrack, appreciating his preference to share accommodations with his men. He roused a small contingent and set out into the city, not to engage with the traitorous companies, but to seek the heart of the problem. Following a secret route he had observed used by the traitor Captains, him and his group of twenty-two Astartes made their way up to the Governor’s chambers, where they quickly discovered what evils had occurred.

 

This comes out of nowhere and feels incredibly arbitrary.

 

Renaming themselves the Concrete Falcons, in honour of the nature of the area where they were refounded, and the creature that led Peregrius’ eye to their true enemy. Also, they changed the chapter colour to a dark red and grey, to symbolize the blood shed by their comrades in the concrete sprawl of the city.

 

First, it took too long to get here - that entire spiel can be summed up as "they renounced their heritage after their Chapter Master turned traitor". Second, it wasn't worth getting here - why not just have them be the Concrete Falcons (which is a silly name, I feel obligated to point out) from the start? What does the previous rigmarole get you?

 

While the Knights were an orbital drop assault chapter, preferring large battlefields and long lines of sight, the Falcons prefer urban warfare.

 

Why?

I must ask, as I always do, what you're trying to accomplish. What do you want? Right now you've got some odd organizational methods and an anecdote about the betrayal of the chapter. What's it all supposed to add up to?

I make it a point never to agree with Batman, purely on principle <_<, but here.. Oh my Gods is he right.

That sounds like a good way to get hit by a batarang.

 

Stop derailing the poor things thread and be constructive!

 

 

I like the Companies organized in Corps - for want of a better word - but you can probably streamline the description; it's a bit word heavy and awkward at the moment.

Then avoid Falcons, I think.

 

Go for something dirtier or more associated with civilization, or cramped and unpleasant spaces. Dogs, Justicars, Spiders, Lords, Castellans. That sort of thing.

 

I'd then recommend something like Stone, Imperial, Iron, Steel, or Fire.

No, they survive by standing inside the fireplace. Get your facts straight, Octy, you live in Canada.

 

I feel obligated to suggest Purifiers.

 

Okay, done. Now how about:

Rust Hounds

Steel Protectors

Iron Flames

Castellans of Rock

Stone Spiders, Stone Wasps (swooping from the skies to sting), Stone Dogs, Brothers of the Stone Wall (though that sounds more defensive), Stone Destroyers, Stone Throwers (drop pods?), Stone Believers, Defenders of the Stone...

 

Idk, but Stone sounds like it would fit best with their scheme.

 

Or the Rustifiers :huh:

 

Lol, Brothers of Oxidation ;) (Weakening the enemies metalic defense with the merging of the Drop Pods and enemy Armies, sort of like how metal rusts or something :P)

Knights of the Rock

Stone Guardians

Iron Brothers

Stone Guard

Emperor's Sentinels

Imperial Sentinels

Stone Lords

Grey Lords

Gray Knights (Get it, not Grey, Gray? Ok...)

Iron Chosen

Stone Legion

Iron Talons

Grey Hawks

Iron Wolves

Night Falcons

Lords of Darkness (or Greyness...)

Stone Crusaders

Iron Crusaders
