Forgotten Sons early colour scheme

A

s the Apostels of Caliban were created for seeking Cypher, so Forgotten Sons chapter was created as the spies of The Unforgiven. Their task was the most secretive gathering all possible information about the Fallen. Creation of Chapter was made in such secrecy, that soon Imperium forget about them for ages, so was born the name of Chapter:
Forgotten Sons. Of course, all of the Unforgiven collect information about Fallen, but only Forgotten Sons has been ordered to focus on it completely. The chapter took his mission with such fanaticism that soon desire to collect information
began to rebuild the very tactics of the chapter. A distinctive feature of the Chapter had a strong commitment to the idea of ??"an unforeseen manoeuvre" and an even greater obsession to so necessary for such action, reconnaissance. Often, in systems in which visited the Chapter, were created the cells from the civilian spies, capable of independent existence in secret from the governments of these systems within tens of generations, becoming The Forgotten Network. And in order that, if necessary, the the Chapter has been much information as possible about the enemy, the battlefield and in general about everything that would give to the warriors of the Chapter precedence in the upcoming battle. And of course, the Forgotten Sons themselves were struggling to collect any information available to them during their travels and battles. As a result of several centuries, of this "reconnaissance " The Chapter not only honourably fulfilled its objective, but also gained a tremendous amount of "collateral knowledge" ... "The dirty lingerie of the Imperium everything that ever was hidden, stories that never been told, and perhaps something as important and terrible that rather than to destroy The Chapter which penetrated too deeply into the secrets of the Imperium, the Inquisition is much preferred to closely monitor the Chapter.

The Blood Chains

This mysterious tradition is the inheritance of the purest killed battle-brother's organs by his successor, like it happens with ?startes armour. The very idea of ??such operations has been put forward by Dr. Makilianno, the man put all his life on fight with mutations and a who was real genius in this area, in his not
finished treatise, copies of drafts of which had fallen into the hands of the Inner Circle of the Chapter. For a tiny ray of hope that this "Hypothetically, could also help in the prevention of Divine Astartes mutations during the initiation of recruits ..." they were ready for anything ... Thus began the tradition.

Later experiments showed that without it ritual percent Forgotten Sons mutations
begins to grow in extreme progression, but also causes Forgotten Sons strongest
mutation so called Voices of Forgotten

When the Curse of 21st founding showed its face, Forgotten Sons managed to conduct a series of measures to protect their gene-seed from degenerating. Two most effective of them was The Blood Chains Tradition and reforming chapters 1st company into the Puritywing. Puritywing was ordered to keep crystal purity of their gene-seed by all the costs.

Chapters Homeworld was in the huge system named Dolor, that is located on the border between Segmentum Pacificus and Segmentum Tempestus. In addition to their Homeworld system included Sanctuary-world with
own force of Adepta Sorroritas, 3 inhabited Imperial worlds and 2 uninhabited.

War of White and Black Hand

Since then we are forever Forgotten - The inscription on the main gate of the Chapters Fortress-Monastery.

3 years after the Hive-Fleet Behemoth attacked Imperium Dolor system was invaded by Chaos Warband known as the Vaelenia Cult (named after the demon-patron Daemon-Princess Vaeleia, whos symbol was black fist in thorns circle). Its a strange Chaos cult known for its obsession with idea of immortality, and a strange skin parasite, that makes their skin look like bark. Their target was archive of secrets collected by the Chapter.

This warband was leaded by tree arch-heretics: Fallen Angels apothecarian Methuselah, Warsmith LeBierge and Sorcerer Feiro.

All chapter forces were called for protection the system... But it was to late.
Half of the system already was conquered by Black Fists. Sanctuary-World has fallen under enemy attack and was sacked. During the siege of the Dolor 5 (Homeworld) Black Fists unleashed their last secret weapon virus, especially for this acquired from Fabius Bile. Virus that made real the worst Forgotten Sons nightmare gene-seed destabilization.
Most Battle-Brothers began mutate, right on the battlefield. Only at the last moment the Chapter was saved from absolute destruction - in the system came last Battle-Company of the Chapter, has not participated in the defence of the planet, 5th Battle-Company.
During its attacks, it also has been exposed to the virus, but was able to break the siege of the planet. With monstrous losses Sons could drive out the enemy from the system.

After the War

If you turn all the water in the tears, we would need all the water in the galaxy, to express our sorrow. Albert Lucifer - Puritywing Company Master.

Forgotten Sons modern colour scheme

The price of victory was terrible. 3 Battle-Companies was completely annihilated. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 8th (reserve devastator Battle-Company) many of their battle brothers. 16 scouts was saved after war and only 5 marines survived in 4th Battle-Company.
Mutations spreaded between marines. But Puritywing long ago transformed in Chapter in Chapter completed its task their gene-seed was absolutely pure.

Chapters Inner Circle decided to keep in secret destabilization of their gene-seed, but as a sign of mourning for their past
them re-painted armour of all Chapters Marines into a darker colours.

To restore the strength of the Chapter, almost immediately after the war, from every more or less genetically pure marine were removed Progenoids to implant them in the recruits. Recruits were recruited throughout the Imperium, and not only Dolor 5. The scale of that recruiting compared only with what was at the foundation of the Chapter. Only decades later the number was re-established enough to start trying to restore the genetic purity of the Chapter. Now chapters apothecaries try to use genetic seed is not belonging to the Puritywing, only in extreme cases.

But a terrible blow was dealt, and the unity of the Chapter. Internal conflicts are caused by mutual accusations of guilt for the events of the War of Black and White Hand and restructuring of the Chapter, aimed at increasing the chances of survival in case of destruction of any of the survived battle companies, quickly spliting the the Chapter.

Homeworld

The Unknown

One of the first Chapters discoveries in the depths of the planet was The Unknown - a mysterious machine-sarcophagus very similar with dreadnought. Perhaps this was a new dreadnought pattern, developed on Dolor, but did not finished. Either way the machine was repaired and completed by Chapters Techmarines. But years later, all the information about the The Unknown kept by Chapters Inner Circle in the strictest secrecy. Nobody did not
know how the Chapter was able to restore machine, is there in dungeons of Dolor similar sarcophagus, and most importantly - who is inside it? On this issue there are many versions and rumors: that is the last of the surviving Marines
battle the sixth company that is missing at war the Grand Master Chapter thatthe sarcophagus was unable to open and there is still a pilot placed there before the Horus Heresy (probably Space Marine of the Dark Angels, or perhaps
even of the Traitor-Legions) ...

Its the Planet of Secrets. Some of them even I dont want to know. Inquisitorr Ratshah, nowadays
Lord-Inquisitor Ratshah.

In the times before the Horus Heresy Dolor 5 was known as Crasterian an high-technological Imperium world. But when heresy began, government of this planet took the side of the Emperor and the planet has undergone nuclear bombing by the Chorus forces. Polar ice caps melted, the whole surface of the planet was flooded. Survivors of the planet gradually coming out its underground bunker in search of food until 90% of the population did not live permanently on the "surface" of the planet. This surface is a mix of mud swamps and toxic seas on which drifting the huge islands of floating garbage. The largest of these islands turned into a sort of floating cities, each of which is populated by separate tribe.

Fortress-Monastery of the Chapter is located in what used to be the capital of the world, and now hidden under tons of mud and water. Monstrous industrial complex, of this place goes for miles under the earth hiding hundreds of secrets, forgotten there by previous masters of the planet.

Gene-Seed

We did all we can possibly do, and now we sure, that only Emperor himself can cure us. - Master over Apothecarion, Lavr Belfegore.

Forgotten Sons share Gene-Seed of LionElJonson, that horribly degenerated because of the virus. Except for the
battle brothers consisting of Puritywing over time, all the Space Marine appears one or several unique mutations to Chapter. But if these mutations are too many or a marine begin to show signs of "Votes of Forgotten" he immediately will be transferred to the Doomwing, where he is under the care of veteran-brothers serve until his death.

The most common mutations:

"Voices of the Forgotten" - A mutation in Omophagea, because of which Marines hear voices of their killed brothers, organs of which they are transplanted. The state is close to multiple personality. These warriors could hardly control
themselves and forced a long time to rebuild their consciousness by "choir" of personalities, but reached a "unanimous persons" even the youngest brother Marines fighting with the experience and skills of veterans.

"Tears of the Emperor" - Belcher's Gland mutation, which resulted in the eyes, mouth and sometimes nose Marines begin to continuously oozing blood-red liquid

"Ghosts of Dolor" - a Mucranoid mutation, which makes the skin Marines absolutely clear.

"Look of Cursed" - mutation of Occulobe causing eyes chemical luminescence.

"The Curse of Damocles" - Haemastamen mutation. All in all a few weeks marine "getting old" to the state of a walking mummy ... On the combat qualities it has almost no effect, but very demoralizing to the mutant.

"No sleep without forgiveness" - Mutation of Catalepsean Node. Marine cannot really relax, permanently being in the state of severe stress, the absolute attentiveness and concentration. Almost all soon go mad.

Organisation

The main problem of Codex Astartes is that Abaddon the Despoiler, already read it. Lord Alexander Baatezzar, former Chapters Supreme Grand Master.

Forgotten Sons Terminator colour scheme

After the war, the chapter decided never again to to restore the lost battle the companies, as it would be disrespectful to
the dead. In addition to each Company Master was ordered to choose his deputy, who will assume command of the company in the event of his death or by dividing companies to smaller units due to tactical necessity. This post has been named Master Sergeant. Grand Master is also supposed to advance to appoint a receiver in the number of Company Masters.

The chapter now consists of 7 battle companies described below:

1) Puritywing. Company Master - Albert Lucifer. Master Sergeant Apothecarian Lavr Belfegore (Master over
Apothecarion)

The Chapters last hope the Puritywing at the first look seems like a part of some another Chapter so unlike they are. Years spent in the relentless pursuit cleanse their gene-seed from the filth that polluted it forever changed the thinking of
battle-brothers Puritywing. Now, the first company of the Chapter is a fanatical cult purity Battle-brothers just crazy
absolute purity at all: their armor, their cells, their bodies are maintained in a constant purity (at least within the capabilities of Space Marine). In Their individually painted Terminator armour they look just like a walking altars all covered with candles and chains.

Among other things, the applicant must pass one particular test: On his body tattooed with sacred texts, using paint mixed with Prometium. After that he will be set on fire. If he survives, then it means he proved his purity in eyes of the Emperor, therefore - he deserves to join the organization.

Reserve Base Puritywings is almost at the core of the planet, on the opposite relatively to the Fortress-Monastery side of the planet. It is hidden under tons of rock and miles of water, a temple of white marble and flowing lava, which is supported in unrivaled purity by thousands of servitors.

2) Doomwing. Company Master Galos White Fire Velzevul. Master Sergeant Egan Azazel.

The second company was transformed into a Doomwing, where under the supervision of the brothers from the Inner Circle
serve the most mutated marines. In the transition to Doomwing marine in is sealed his armor so that he could never take them off, only exception is the helmet. This armour can be repaired only with the use of armour of other marines from the Doomwing. All Marines are special shoulder guard - a sign of belonging to the Inner Circles secrets of the Chapter (including the mutants, because mutants and is one of the main secrets of the Chapter). 8 most mutated brothers form so called Crow Squad which is one of most effective Chapters resources and greatest shames. Chapter dont have enough motorcycles for every Doomving mutant, therefore half of the Doomwing fight standing on their feet. Doomwing Reserve Base is located under the sea areas where there have been the planets polar caps. Now there is a most dangerous area of Goldothas surface full of underwater rocks and giant icebergs. The base itself is protected by shield of ice and stone.

3) 3rd Survived Battle Company. Company Master Arthur Maamon. Master Sergeant Chaplain Orthus Dahacka .Third Battle Company during the war, defended the fortress-monastery of the Chapter, together with the Fourth and the Second battle companies, but unlike them, more than Edited May 6, 2013 by гR.I.B.

It has no rhyme or rhythm, but...... thanks?

[Overlord-Rakszan]

It was the first thing that poped into my mind, and you can go ahead and dislike if you want, It just amused me.

Not to say I didnt enjoy reading what you had to offer. I enjoy the almost Dark Angle style way the companies are organised and how it seems that even the simple information about a chapter that everyone finds boring has somehow become interesting to read. I hope you have taken no offence from my comment and I hope to keep my arrogent mouth shut.

Hope to hear more of your creations.

If you have seven companies and dislike the Codex Astartes enough to get rid of it altogether, why are two of your companies called 8th and 10th?

 

Paying homage to the old organisation from the book you just threw away is a bit odd! B)

They haven't problems with being 10 100-marines companies chapter, Before the war.

but during the war 6th,7th and 9th companies were completely lost. And in a sign of respect for the dead, they decided that from now on they will no longer be those companies. No restoring, no renaming.

[гR.I.B.]

Deleted something.. Modified the visual part.

[TrashMan]

Hmmm..... not bad.

 

There's something that kinda bugs me... Like there's a too much stuff... too many mutations.. too many similarities with other curses.

 

Also needs proof-reading.

[гR.I.B.]

I already think about deleting all mutations, exept the main one.

[Octavulg]

Before the Curse

I want to hate that earwax quote. But I don't.

 

Astartes as spies has a problem: Space Marines are eight foot tall behemoths in power armor. They're not naturally sneaky. One could set up networks of civilians, as your guys do, but one would kind of expect that to have already happened by the 21st FOunding. Otherwise, how could the DA hunt the Fallen in the first place? Basically, the role your guys are created for is one that already should have been filled by this point.

 

* * *

 

Honestly, there are two major problems. It's really hard to read, since your English isn't perfect. It's much better than my Russian, mind you. But still.

 

Second, most of the details is stuff that happened and ways they're mutated and how they're structured. There's not much discussion of what they're like. I don't know what makes your guys different from the Dark Angels.

 

What are you trying to get done here? What do you want to tell people? What do you want your chapter to be like? What is your chapter like?

 

EDIT: Is the first colour scheme supposed to look like that? I quite like the other two, but that one looks pretty messy.
