rpnightsend Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The Typhoon Marines were an Ultramarines Successor chapter first designated to be created during the 26th Founding. Due to delays in the bureaucracy of the Imperium, the chapter was not ready to begin creation until shortly after the battle of Macragge. Due to the destruction of the Ultramarines first Company, the veterans sent to assist the new chapter were pulled largely from Chaplain Cassius' Tyrannic War Veterans. The Chapter Master himself, Robert Leerca, a Vanguard Veteran, was reccomended to Calgar personally by Cassius. Though young for a veteran and incredibly so to be taking on the role of chapter master, Leerca proved a skilled leader and by roughly 780.M41 the chapter was prepared to begin active participation on the battlefield. With its core drawn primarily from Tyrannic War Veterans, the Typhoon Marines quickly proved to be experts at fighting these creatures, and aided the Ultramarines in clean-up operations in the wake of Hive Fleet Behemoth. However, after a conflict with xeno forces tentatively identified as Necron, Chapter Master Leerca decided to take a more active role in combatting all xeno threats, but especially those whose terrible power he had witnessed first hand: The Necron and Tyranids. A fleet-based chapter, the Typhoon Marines have become adept at lightning assaults, utilizing armored spearheads of rhinos and bikes supported by drop pods and land speeder/assault marine combat drops. These skills have been especially honed against their favored enemies, who feel no fear at the sight of the Chapter's drop pods filling the sky or a line of their tanks rolling towards their lines. The chapter acts with a great amount of autonomy, travelling to dead or quarantined worlds and even allying with xenos such as Eldar and Orks mercenaries against the Tyranids ad Necron. While they continue to fight on the side of the imperial forces, their great degree of freedom has brought the chapter under inquisitorial scrutiny, and an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor has been placed on permenant duty with them. How this rests with Master Leerca is unknown, but he has made no complaints nor attempts to remove the inquisitor, and has even made the inquisitor a member of his fleet's head staff.

tiny sam Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 1) Ultramarines tend to use roman style name and Robert is a germanic name. I would suggest changing the first name (see Roman Names) 2) battle for maccrage was in 738.m41 so just keep in mind that your chapter would not have been full (1k battle brothers) before 793.m41 3) 99% of the chapter have a "great degree of freedom" I would rather said "While they continue to fight on the side of the imperial forces, suspicion about their tactics and relation with Xenos has brought the chapter under inquisitorial scrutiny" 4) shouldn't it be a Ordo Xeno Inquisitor? (from what I read it's a radiacl one though) Intersting chapter :P could we get more meat around : chapter color, Chapter emblem, organisation, beliefs? also you might want to format and Ordain your texte a little bit more, particularly if you had stuff it might became unreadable if not. Good job! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236971-typhoon-marines/#findComment-2857135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpnightsend Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 1. I know, that wasn't an oversight, his name comes from somethign else. Everyone else in the chapter has a Roman-style name, but there's a reason for the Chapter Master's name. 2. I'm aware of that. WHich is why I say they were ready to "begin active participation on the battlefield," not at full strength. 3. Good point. 4. The inquisitor isn't SUPPOSED to be there to help, he's supposed to be keeping an eye on the typhoon marines to watch for signs of corruption or betrayal. And yes, he is radical, he's a psyker too. The chapter color is Ultramarines blue, with black shoulder guards. originally they just looked like ultramarines with different colored shoulder guards, but now that ultramarines are mordian blue they actually look pretty different. Their insignia is a storm cloud with a lightning bolt, I can upload pictures later if you'd like. They are organized according to the Codex Astartes. Their beliefs are outlined pretty well there: The necron and tyranids are the greatest threat the galaxy has ever faced. Kill them before they kill us. I know its not formatted well but I just wanted to get the basics of the fluff down, not all of it.

The inquisitor isn't SUPPOSED to be there to help, he's supposed to be keeping an eye on the typhoon marines to watch for signs of corruption or betrayal. And yes, he is radical, he's a psyker too. I still think an ordo xenos Inquisitor would be dispatched to invistigate Alien corruption and not and Ordo Hereticus one (which are more concerned by witch and rogue psycher) The chapter color is Ultramarines blue, with black shoulder guards. originally they just looked like ultramarines with different colored shoulder guards, but now that ultramarines are mordian blue they actually look pretty different.

I know its not formatted well but I just wanted to get the basics of the fluff down, not all of it. sorry typos in my sentence, you should have read "particularly if you add stuff it might became unreadable" and I was talking of more specific beliefs, like specific cult, rituals, etc. Given theire "Radicalism" on facing xenos they might be tempted to drink nids blood so the homophaega would learn them some criticals info. what are their personnality? cold efficency or hot-tempered? methodical or savage? (they look methodical due to their extensive use of fast attack) personally Ultramarines are blue, the teint of it is an artistic preference :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236971-typhoon-marines/#findComment-2857190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazer Rackham Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The chapter acts with a great amount of autonomy, travelling to dead or quarantined worlds and even allying with xenos such as Eldar and Orks mercenaries against the Tyranids ad Necron. While they continue to fight on the side of the imperial forces, their great degree of freedom has brought the chapter under inquisitorial scrutiny, and an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor has been placed on permenant duty with them. How this rests with Master Leerca is unknown, but he has made no complaints nor attempts to remove the inquisitor, and has even made the inquisitor a member of his fleet's head staff. I like the concepts, but I don't really see this bit working. Space marines Hate all Xenos and despite GW campaign fluff and random alien interventions, SM's don't tend to ally with Orks - at all. They're a menace and whilst Necrons and Tyranids are arguably a greater threat, Marines (certainly not UM decendants) would not ally with greenskins. Eldar however are a different matter. SM's don't really go out of thier way to enlist Eldar help, but if it comes, they don't generally reject it. On many occasions however, it turns out that the Eldar are there to to kill everything and then the Marines have to fight them too. Eldar are not trusted at all. As Tyrannic War Veterans and under such a Chaplain as Cassius, I doubt any ideas about being nice to aliens would have had a chance to form at all. IMHO, Whilst the Inquisitor would be a notable ally of the new chapter, he would be in a position where he would be observing, but unless he had specific reason to take over, he wouldn't make any tactical or strategic demands - he'd be included in the fleet head staff as a matter of course, but unless he called the Chapter into action, he'd take no real part. An Ordo Xenos inquisitor would be best placed initially as he would want to know how, what, where, when and why the aliens the Chapter was meeting were managing to stave off being filled full of bolter rounds. You could have say, an honour debt incurred by an Eldar pirate, perhaps the Chapter inadvertantly saved his kin from Tyranid destruction or something and he is now honour bound to do what he can. The Ork thing could work if you did a "The Chapter has attacked Ork settlements in order to drive the orks into the path of Tyranids or a Necron wave to stave off the threat." Either of these would give you a plot hook to have your friendly neighbourhood =][= rep come over. You could then expand on or even better throw speculation into how the Young Chapter Master got so far so fast, or how much influence the Ordo Xenos has over the Chapter. Have to be careful with it though as it has been done before and GW plot does not always set a good precedent.... My tuppence, hope it gives food for thought... MR.

Elric the Silvercoat Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 For the Ork part there are Ork Freebooters which are just pirates and they will do anything for a price even attack other Orks (which is a low price anyways). You just have to give them a horrible wrecked vehicle and they will most likly do something for you. In the Dawn of War 2 game Retribation an Ork Freebooter Captain takes the job of attacking the Blood Ravens Chapter Master for a hat so anything is possible. And there is fluff to support that their is some Ork tribes that worship the Emperor, scary right that other races respect him too.

rpnightsend Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ok I'm gonna try and address everything brought up. The Orks are freebooters, more specifically, Blood Axes. Even more specifically, the Nid' Stompas, a clan whose space hulks became overrun with genestealers and have become experts at fighting tyranids (they also love the sound they make when you snap em' with a power klaw). The Eldar are Iyanden Eldar under Yriel, meaning they are both a pirate fleet and hate Tyranids. More so, it used to be (not sure anymore) accepted canon that Eldar despise Necron. I'm really not trying to lay all of the fluff down for the whole chapter here, this is just an outline, but as for their personality that chapter reflects their Chapter Master, often being brash and first into the fight (though by no means suicidal). The Chapter Master is a great tactician, if a bit inexperienced, and the Captain of the 3rd Company, Claudius, often acts as his antithesis (Claudius is older and more experienced, but not as gifted a leader) being the cool-headed one. Actually the only reason the Inquisitor was Hereticus is because there weren't playable Ordo Xenos Inquisitors. Now that there are, I think I'll tweak the fluff a little so he is Ordo Xenos. Also, playing into this chapter's fluff is that Inquisitor Kryptman saw great potential in this chapter as a Tyranid-hunting force, and hand-picked the Inquisitor that is serving with them with the knowledge that that particular inquisitor would let some thing slip by that most other inquisitors would not. As a final note, while they are a "xenos" hunting chapter, the CHapter Master's personal hatred of Necron and Tyranids, and his belief that they are a greater threat to the galaxy than any other race, along with his inexperience, has led him to ally with other Xeno races, for now.
