EzekyleVIII Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Index Astartes The Hammers Of Blood Space MarinesChapter Origins The Hammers of Blood space marine chapter werefounded in the later years of m.37 also known as the sentinel founding. Theywere created to respond to increasing raids to the worlds of the imperium fromalien and traitor alike, and to act as a bolster to Guard battalions in theregion. From their inception the Hammers had many conflicts with the AlphaLegion, and as a result have lost much of their data as regards theirprimogenitor chapter, including knowledge of their primarch and original trainingcadre. Homeworld The planet known as Pompeitius is located in thesegmentum obscurus, to the galatic north of the Eye of Terror. It is acivilized world, with a heavy military presence. Their homeworld also boasts alarge number of adpetus mechanicus archeoligists, who have gone to uncover manyimperial relics, including a large cahce of blood angels materials from theheresy era on Pompeitius itself. Combat Doctrine Using the codex as a set of guidelines, the hammersmaintain a fluid method of war. Their main deviation from the codex, however,lies in their use of teleporters in both attack and defence. Used to catch theenemy off guard, when either taking the offensive or defensive, elements of thefirst company teleport into the heart of the enemy. This assault usually takesform of thunder hammer armed terminators of the 1st company, tosmash asunder all in their paths. From this confusion it allows their otherbrothers to seize the moment, and turn the tides of battle. Organization/Organisation The Hammers of Blood follow standard codexorganisation Beliefs The chapter do not revere the Emperor as a God,just as one of the greatest men to have ever lived, and strive to follow hisexample. They also give their praise to the memories of PrimarchsSanguinius,due to the high number of Blood Angel relics found upon their homeworld. Gene-seed/Geneseed Currently unknown, at one stage the Blood angelswere speculated, but only due to the large number of artifacts on theirhomeworld.

Octavulg Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 They're definitely a chapter. Not much here to separate them from the herd, though. One option (assuming you're not completely OK with that) would be to write up something akin to the little blurbs in C:SM about various DIY chapters. I find it focuses the mind wonderfully.

EzekyleVIII Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Ill admit this is my first proper crack of the whip, and it is an incredibly basic work.. My inspiration took a battering after the original wip article didnt get a great reception, so I figured if I make a sttart it can grow. And I dont know how to do side boxes..

The AL have broken into Chapter's librarium, deleted/corrupted/stolen all the data stored here and then proceeded to brainwash every and all marines to forget the stuff, which is basically a foundation of every Chapter? That's truly... intricate situation. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271776-ia-hammers-of-blood/#findComment-3313980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messor Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The new scheme is very striking, I really like the layout there. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271776-ia-hammers-of-blood/#findComment-3314138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzekyleVIII Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Cheers messor Mr. Nightrawen I kindly point thee to the link I provided, and in its murky depths I have crafted some form of tale as regard the loss of data. Knowledge is power, so on and so forth Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271776-ia-hammers-of-blood/#findComment-3314148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EzekyleVIII Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 A vote for the change it pile :p as I heard naught to it in response ive been at a loss in where to tread... I had another basic idea, of a chapter of tech exorcists, reclaiming and cleansing, and exorcising chaos tainted wargear/vehicles.. And I could atttribute the massive loss of memory/data to an exorcism gone horrifically wrong. If its better than the other choice I can run with it or seek another path Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271776-ia-hammers-of-blood/#findComment-3314270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightrawenII Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Ahem. Did you notice what Ecritter said in that other thread? ~ What is the purpose of losing their records in the first place? ~ It's really necessary for the narrative?

EzekyleVIII Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Of course, and I felt it was. Being of the sentinel founding I wanted a sense of irony, that although they stand sentinel for humanity, they couldnt stand sentinel for themselves. A tragedy of sorts. (If I cause offense or seem to be off point, please feel free to ask me to explain further, I mean no misdemeanor. ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271776-ia-hammers-of-blood/#findComment-3314358 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, but wouldn't that be a cause of great disturbance in itself? Who wants incompetent guards? (If I cause offense or seem to be off point, please feel free to ask me to explain further, I mean no misdemeanor. ) Lol just lol.
