The Chapter creation was ordered by the High Lords of Terra following a augmentation of hostile activity in the Segmentum Obscurus, and the Dark Angels, seeing an opportunity for their own plans, offered their gene-seed to serve for it. At first the High Lords hesitated, in part due to the secretive and shadowy nature of the Dark Angels, but accepted since it was extremely pure and ressourceful. The gene-seed was cultivated and the recruiting began, and some members of the Dark Angels (counting some members of the Inner Circle) and of their successor Chapters, left their current duties to go serve as instructor and commanders to the new fledgelings on the deadly world of Acherus. After two hundred years of preparations, the Angels of Suffering were born, their ten companies ready and fully ready. Most of the mentors left to return to their home Chapters, but Duriel, ancient master of the first companie of the Angels of Vengeance, stayed to act as the Grand Master of the Angels of Suffering. Finally ready, the Chapter detached it's first and second companie to the Segmetum Obscurus, ready to fight in the Emperor's and the Lion's name. Acherus Acherus, the Homeworld of the Angels of Suffering, is a living hell. The volcanic environment of the planet, plus it's deadly lifeforms, make it the perfect training ground for future Space Marines. Originally considered an hostile planet, it was chosen by Grand Master Duriel himself because he had to fought againts Orks on it in one of his past campaigns and considered that if the recruits could survive the experience of such a world, then they would be able to survive to anything. Acherus size is three time the one of Earth, and as such gravity on it is far stronger. Oxygen is low, and the heat is almost omnipotent. If recruits are inside of the Chapter fortress, they are required to not wear their power armour to feel the full weight of gravity. When they are send outside, they are given their power armour and a simple chainsword, but no firearm weapon, so the only way they have to defend themselve againts the ferocious beasts of Acherus are their strenght and close-combat skills. Chapter Beliefs The Angels of Suffering Chapter follow the same beliefs system as the Dark Angels, venerating the Emperor and the Lion as the perfect beings all should aspire to be. They have little regard for the other Primarchs of the old days, much of them not even knowing their name. Like most of the Unforgiven, their leaders believe that it is their sacred duty to track down and make repent the Fallen Angels and at any cost. Since they were designed to fight in the Segmentum Obscurus againts the forces of chaos, their religious side was more developped than for the other Unforgiven Chapters, their instructors knowing they would often have to face directly corruption and not wanting the number of the Fallen to increase. The Angels of Suffering as such pratice religious ceremonies each day, praying before and after sleep and before and after each meal. They are instructed to read and memorize many religious texts, and are routinely examined and tested by their chaplains. Most of the Angels of Suffering are able to recite the Oath of Virtue by hearth, as it follow : Never Retreat Never Doubt Never Hesitate Never succomb to Temptation Never Tolerate the Heretic Never Show Mercy to the Xenos Never let Unharmed the Mutant Never Fear Never Desire Never Question Never take Pride Each line of the Oath represent a sin which is considered blasphemous and worthy of death penalty. As such, the Angels of Suffering are taught never to retreat, never to negotiate, never to hesitate and never to do anything else that what as been thaught to them as their sacred duty. Because of this, most of the Angels of Suffering will attack anyhting that doesn't meet the perfect description of a good human being. As such, mutants, with and abhumans are sometime the victims of the fanatiscm of the Angels. The Angels of Suffering, being the successors of the Dark Angels (who are rumoured to be the first Space Marines), consider themselve the summum of Humanity, being just below the emperor and the Primarchs, and as such, they consider all humanity should look at them as their superiors and what they should aspire to be, just as they aspire to become like the Emperor : just, sage, powerful, moral, perfect and dutiful. As such, Angels of Suffering tolerate only the purest humans, those who could become Space Marines. All the others are nothing but errors of nature that need to be exterminated without hesitation. To the Angels of Suffering, the only way for humanity to attain perfection is throught the process of becoming a Space Marine, since the Emperor is perfection, and that by becoming Space Marine, you receive inside of you the gene-seed of the Primarchs, who were themselve made from the gene of the Emperor. Accepting the flesh of the Emperor is in such the only way to hope to one day achieve perfection, and it is the duty of humanity as the blessed children of the Emperor. Chapter Organisation The Angels of Suffering Chapter organisation follow mostly the one of the Codex Astartes, and of the Dark Angels Chapter.

Rylanor Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Welcome brother! I must say that I really like your color Scheme. You have said your chapter mostly follows the codex. If there are any differences you should mention them (a.k.a deathwing or ravenwing it they have one). The Chapter creation was ordered by the High Lords of Terra following a augmentation of hostile activity in the Segmentum Obscurus, and the Dark Angels, seeing an opportunity for their own plans, offered their gene-seed to serve for it. As far as I know the High lords decide which geneseed to use when they create a new chapter, the Primogenitor chapter has no say in it. (correct me if I'm wrong) Everything else looks cool to me though I'm sure others will give advice that I have not.

Chaos_Lord888 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 If the High Lords decide themselves which gene-seed will serve to create the new chapter, how do they decide which one to use?

Rylanor Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If the High Lords decide themselves which gene-seed will serve to create the new chapter, how do they decide which one to use? Honestly I'm not totally sure. They can basically can do whatever they want, so they may just draw names out of a hat. The point is that only the High Lords and the AdMech make new chapters the space marines have no say.
