Devolver Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 First post so strait to the point ^_^ Redeemers of Ferrum Founding: 24th, Re-Founded on in the 25th Battle Cry: Fortes Fortuna Aduvat = Fortune favours the brave Founding Chapter: Imperial Fists. Origins: 031-033.M39 The Spectre's of Ferrum Were created during the 24th founding early in the 39th Millennium to combat against any threats in Sub Sector Anvil. They were created using gene seed, dictated to them by the High Lords of Terra to defend a Forge world and its Surrounding Planets, Thus The Spectre's of Ferrum were born. Disaster Struck After only a mere 700 years of defence in the Emperors name the Spectre's of Ferrum were completely and Utterly annihilated by an a Dark elder Strike force. The only known survivors were 4 Marines all serving in the Death Watch at the time. These Marines were 1st Company Veteran Cassius Lucilius 2nd Company Apothecary Kruge Tha 4th Company Assualt marine Adrian Vain 6th Company Sargent Kant Linus Distraught by the fact they were the Sole Survivors of the Spectre's they returned to their chapters sector to find out what happened to their beloved chapter and their Sector. Upon Returning to the sector they found their 2 Battle Barges the "Spectre" and "Anvil", Spectre was in ruins, debris were floating through space around Anvilus 9 or being pulled into a low earth orbit. Where as Ferrum was in two peices, the Front of the barge broken floating through space, where as the rear part of the barge seemed intact, Determining that was the best chance to find some of their brothers alive the Last Spectre's scanned the Ferrum's ruins for any sign of life. Upon Detecting a faint energy signature from the wreckage, they immediately boarded the ruins of the ship. To their amazement they found 5 marines suspended in hibernation chambers. Upon reviving these 5 marines they asked the brothers what had happened to their home sector and to their Chapter, The marines told of a brutal Dark eldar force that destroyed the Spectre in almost an instant and disabling the Ferrum shortly after a brief fire fight. The last marine to speak up was a new Apothecary to the chapter, still in his training. He told the Squad of a plan he had wove once the attack started, Knowing the moment the Spectre had been destroyed that this may be their final moments they Put as many gene seed into a Evac shuttle that had been modified for the exact purpose, The Shuttle had be launched into the gravitational pull of the nearby Cyron and should still be orbiting the planet. Learning this news the 10 Spectres immediately departed and searched for the Gene-seed shuttle, upon discovering the shuttle they took the gene seed and left the sector heading for the Adeptus Mechanicus on Mars, Upon reaching the planet the gene seed was stringently tested for Corruption or mutations, after finding none, the Final Spectre's demanding they have must have Righteous Retribution and let their Chapter be Reborn! After being denied many a time the Marines of the Spectre's of Ferrum were to be transferred into the Death watch as permanent positions, Until the Sectors Around Anvil reported many sightings of Dark Eldar ships harvesting worlds, The High Lords of Terra seeing the Dark Eldar may be a threat in the sector they finally allowed the Spectre's to be re founded with Cassius Lucilius at the Head as Chapter Master, Thus the Redeemers of Ferrum Were Born. The Rebirth of Ferrum: After being allowed to re instate their chapter the 10 Surviving Marines of the Spectre's of Ferrum decided to Rename the Chapter in honour of their fallen brothers "Redeemers of Ferrum" Departing to the sector immediately they recruited furiously making the chapter Combat ready a full 20 Years ahead of the schedule. Upon hearing this the Adeptus Mechanicus who had recently returned to Anvilus 9 and brought it back to operating power struck a bargain with the Redeemers of Ferrum, If they defended the Sector, mainly Anvilus 9, with the same fury they used to Bring their chapter to full strength then they would supply them with extra weapons, armour and vehicles usually unheard of in such a small chapter. Accepting the Deal the Redeemers of Ferrum Charged around the sector like wolves hunting and destroying any and every threat in their sector with brutal swiftness and uncanny Finesse. Sub-Sector Anvil: A Dead world: Feren in to close of a proximity to the sun to support any form of life. Used in training exercises and survival exercises. Nick named the Hammer by veterans who fondly remember the torturous training they endured and due to the fact if it doesn't make you it breaks you. A Dead world: A Feral World: cyron Densely Covered in jungle with only small human nomadic tribes. Used as a Recruiting world the people are tough nomads living on a day to day basis knowing each day may be their last. A Agri world: Ax1 Completely farm covered planet modified to supply Anvilus 9 with its Food stores. Anvilus 9: Forge World recently Re-instated by the Adeptus Mechanicus. HomeWorld: Gria is a large Death world that is a made up of 70% barren and dead mountain riddled terrain and 30% water. The world is constantly in a state of change with Massive Ion storms and heavy slightly acidic rain due to the increased chemicals found on the planets surface and has massive volcanic activity in its North and Southern Poles. In one of the massive mountain ranges the Fortress monastery Dead Throne sits like a slumbering monster waiting to unleash its brutal power, an ironic namesake due to in the tallest spire there is a glass room that provides a 360 degree view of all that surrounds the Fortress. There is a small amount of population on the planet, a human colony in the 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 mark, These people are a tough hardy race in an modern age state just advancing enough to begin notable technological advances. Notable Campaigns after Re-Founding: 900-910.M40: Purging of Sub Sector Anvil: Many skirmishes on the planets throughout the sector mainly dealing with Dark Eldar Attacks, untill the discovery of Webway gate on the Planet Gria, Upon destroying the Webway gate, Chapter Master Cassius Lucilius decided that they would make the world Gria their home world thus Fortress monastery Dead Throne was born, a Bastion to all Redeemers of Ferrum. 246-249.M41: The Redeemers of Ferrum received a distress call from a nearby system of which was under attack by a Eldar force of unknown size, The system is home to multiple recruiting worlds of the Imperial Fists, With swiftness the Redeemers answered the summons of their Brothers and set upon the Eldar with a fury, the Redeemers and the Imperial Fists fought side by side for years pushing back the Eldar force until they discovered the Eldar War Council and Seers and destroyed them, dismaying the Eldar and causing them to flee the sector. The assault marines deployed in this time were of great renown and after the battle were given the Mantle of Chapter Vanguard. In reward for this the Imperial fists gave the Redeemers of Ferrum a small amount of Rhino Pattern Vehicles and a Land Raider to bolster the growing Chapter. Tactics: The Redeemers of Ferrum believe that if your art is combat then it must be mastered. This mentality leads to a very diverse fighting force all being equal at the various arts of war, excluding veterans who choose to master one tactic. They are known to fight with a fury borderline chaotic when it comes to contact with Eldar and Dark Elder, Some chapters believe this to be a sign of chaos and thus some chapters are against fighting with the Redeemers of Ferrum in close combat. Preferring Combi weapons for their marines and Sargent's are usually outfitted with Power Swords and Plasma pistols. Companys: 1st Company Veterans Chapter Master Cassius Lucilius & his Honour guard, made up of the 3 Marines who served with him in the Death watch, thus founding fathers of the Redeemers of Ferrum Sternguard Veterans Vanguard Veterans Terminator Veterans 2nd Company Vehicles Techmarines Rhino's Predator's Land Raider Iron Clad Dreadnuaght 3rd Company Assualt Company Assualt Marines Terminator Assualt Squads 4th Company Tactical Tactical Squads Devastator Squads Terminator Squads 5th Company Scouts Scouts Sargents Color Scheme: Spectre's Of Ferrum Redeemers Of Ferrum Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/266214-ia-redeemers-of-ferrum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Xenthor Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 While I like the ideas you have, I see a few problems.. - Usually the only way for a Chapter to be created is by the leave of the High Lords of Terra, and I dont think their going to allow a whole entire chapter to be created as a reward to a single marine, for his; and two other squads, actions in regaining a stockpile of geneseed. - The found geneseed, I dont think would be used right away and would have to go through a massive series of tests to see if any corruption has entered its genetic material. - The deal between the Adeptus and the Chapter seems odd to me too, considering when a chapter is created its given all it needs to maintain and upkeep its vehicles and armor, Techmarines to do the rights, etc. You've got potential here to make a great Chapter, So keep at it.

Messor Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 One other thing, something I'd have liked to use in one of my Chapters but was frustrated by the time line: The Tau weren't first encountered until some 300 years after the 26th founding. I would suggest something like, over the course of time/after the first Tau encounter the Chapter is sure they are the most urgent threat in the are and it has since become their primary mission to guard against them. Alternatively, you could move up the founding to the 26th, meaning a lot less history, but then there would be a greater margin for facing 'suspected' Tau forces, or unknown xenos of advanced tech a little earlier even then the first official encounter. Happens all the time, or so I'm told. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/266214-ia-redeemers-of-ferrum/#findComment-3242883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And change the deal to Allow extra Terminators i guess? Not to sure what exactly a Deal between the Adeptus with a chapter would entail. I do love terminators and want to make a strong base around that eventually!

Ah good point i thought they came in a little earlier, I would have like to used the necrons but they tend to destroy the world utterly no? After work tonight ill see if i can squish it up to the 26th Thanks for the Feed back!! ;) Keep it coming if you can!

Happens all the time, or so I'm told. I always thought that the only planet that gene-seed was stored was Mars, apart from chapter home worlds, its sounds very suspect that a forge world would be storing it. Unless it was something to do with the 13th or 21st founding’s? You could have the best of both. Have the chapter founding in the 25th but it gets destroyed/disbanded due to heavy loses defending Anvilus, Maybe Cassius being the sole-survivor because he was in the Deathwatch at the time. When Anvilus is rediscovered, they find a battle-barge? Or something with gean-seed stocks of said chapter intact. Then it’s decided that as a mark of respect for the chapter to be reborn, with Cassius as chapter master.

I really like this idea, though it shifts away from the OP's world being a forgewold and thus striking a deal with the AdMechs. Not to mention it would sorta sting to know your whole chapter got wiped out. Kinda makes them seem like they are sub-par. Also, I find having a single member surviving as implausible. And even so, usually when a chapter gets reduced to a handful of marines, they end up renaming/reinventing themselves because of it. But if there's a way to tie this in, I really like it.

Devolver Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Oh an Idea! Exactly how many Marines can a chapter pledge to the Death watch? Or is their No limit? Never mind went with the idea anyway! :tu: New Idea is up any C&C again would be amazing! Thanks for taking the time to read and give feed back!!

Uberlord Gendo Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Might be cool if there were eldar or necron ruins on many of the planets, would give a reason for that many Dark Eldar attacked.
