[Noxifer262]

Chapter Master: Akron the Sunderer.

Fortress-Monastery: The Blood Vault.

Parent Legion: Blood Angels.

Colours: Opposite pattern than that of the Flesh Tearers. Same colours.

Specialty: Melee siege. Exceptionally obeying Death Company.

Homeworld: Grovdengard.

Battle Cry: "Your blood belongs to the Emperor!"

 

"Dat oomies 'ere 'ery bad, dey killed our warboss and ded lotza killens 'mong our boyz. Leik hundred Yerricks" -Ork Skarboy.

 

Origins:

The Blood Shedders came into play when they were commissioned with cleansing the newly-formed ork empire of Shootzland, which was known for it's tall walls and fortress-like  piles of scrap. 

Honouring their ancestors, the Chapter started what comes to be known as the Blood Crusade, clearing several ork worlds in mere days. Their ferocious Assault Squads attacked the Ork fortresses and dismantled the empire within a few weeks.

 

Homeworld:

Grovdengard is a planet constantly hit by "storms of death", swarms of locusts each one bigger than a man, which the Chapter must constantly fight off using flamers. It is comprised mostly of vast plains with interlocking mountain chains. That setting often generates dense fogs that raise when the death storm hits, giving swarms of locusts the looks of massive clouds.

 

Battle style:

The Blood Shedders prefer distracting the enemy with an armored assault before striking with surgical precission at any weakspots they present with their Vanguard Veterans and Death Company Troopers. They excell at siege, bringing to bear the firepower of Vindicators before sending a spearhead of Assault Terminators into the wound to finish off any resistance.

 

Organisation:

Standard, with the inclusion of the Sanguinary Guard and the Death Company.

 

Beliefs:

The Chapter is a very brutal one, only focusing on the most violent views of the universe, seeing mankind as holy, and all other races heretic and worthless, with the task of the Space Marines being the annihilation of all enemies regardless of the cost.

 

I know it's a little bit too short, but that's what I got so far.

Tell me what you think!

Blood Sheedders

I find this a silly name. Blood Spillers...is no better. Bloodletters is taken. Bloodspillers or Bloodshedders might work OK. It's the "Shed" bit. Deemphasizing it makes me think less of garden gnomes.

Neat.

There is, as you say, not much here. Had you considered writing up one of those blurbs like in C:SM 5e (I wrote a brief guide on it in the Octaguide if so)? They're nice and short, which makes them convenient.

Anything in particular you want to do?

It is highly, highly unusual for a Chapter to be created for a specific purpose such as this. Chapters are created because the Imperium determines it needs more Chapters overall, not to address any specific threat or mission.

Of course, once you're Chapter is formed, then it can undertake its first mission, and that could easily be cleansing Shootzland.

Nice imagery, but a little overkill on the "constant" swarms of locusts, each larger than a man, that the Chapter "constantly" fights off with flamers. "Constant" implies all day, every day, all the time, never ending, on and on until the end of time.

First of all, that's a huge amount of promethium to waste killing giant locusts. Can't they just fire up some shields? Maybe some giant bug zappers?

Secondly, where do all those locusts come from? Where do they all go after they are flamered? The world would fill up with burnt locust husks, and the air would fill with ash. After a couple of years of this, it'd be a constant nuclear winter, no life would exist, and the Imperial EPA would fine the Ever-Living Throne out of you for such high carbon emission levels.

Thirdly, why do they stay there? If the world is fileld with some many giant locusts that they have to fight them every day and night, all day and night, then there really can't be any people or cities or anything on the planet. Why don't they just take off and virus-bomb the planet from orbit? Come back in a 100 years when the dust has cleared a little, repaint the old fortress-monastery and save a freaking bundle on their promethium bill, not to mention the aforesaid Imperial EPA fines.

The Chapter is a very brutal one, only focusing on the most violent views of the universe, seeing mankind as holy, and all other races heretic and worthless, with the task of the Space Marines being the annihilation of all enemies regardless of the cost.

All Chapters are brutal, almost all focus on the most violent views of the universe, and pretty much all are pro-human, anti-everyone else.
