Demus Ragnok Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Index Astartes: Sons of CreightosChildren of the Gorgon Origins Born of the Imperium's need to recoup loses incurred during the previous millennium, the Sons of Creightos were created during the Ninth Founding. The chapter was a source controversy at its founding as powerful elements of the Adeptus Mechanicus moved in secret to see that the gene seed of the Tenth Legion was used instead of that which had been approved by the High Lords of Terra. The deception was not discovered until the chapter was fully formed and settled upon it's homeworld, thus the High Lords chose to take no overt action against the chapter itself. Organization The Sons of Creightos appear broadly organised according to the Codex Astartes. The chapter does have some doctrines and traditions that have shifted them away from a strict codex structure. The chapter maintains 10th, 9th, 8th and 7th companies that function as prescribed by the codex. The chapter's deviation begins with the structure of the 6th company which is composed of tactical and assault squads. The Sons of Creightos do not maintain their first company as a veteran formation. The chapter instead has dedicated veteran squads within each battle company. Each battle company has varying numbers of terminator armor available that are deployed at each captain's discretion. The fourth company captain and his guard traditionally deploy in terminator plate. The third company's allotment of terminator armor appears to have lost, given the company had such an allotment at some point. The first and fifth companies are known to have deployed no less than two squads of terminator each.

LongGone Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 What you have so far is pretty good! A pet peeve of mine, and not necessarily a critique against you or the IA, but I get frustrated when members of the B&C refer to the Legions solely by their number and make no reference to the name. I have to check the Lexicanum just to understand what people are saying. Context clues make it easy in your case, but still, for clarity's sake, its just as easy to write "...of the Tenth Legion, the Iron Hands,..." Like I said, its a pet peeve and has no bearing on the quality of your IA. Looking forward to seeing where you take these guys!

NightrawenII Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 *the gene seed of the Tenth Legion was used instead of that which had been approved by the High Lords of Terra* - Otherwise around, the geneseed is sanctioned after the 1000 sets of organs are complete. Also, Iron Hands doesn't follow the Codex organisation, so talking about deviation from codex is rather moot in this case. Of course your Chapter could adopt more codex line but it needs some explanation why so. ~ NightrawenII Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285250-ia-sons-of-creightos/#findComment-3563490 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a point I neglected is that this chapters training cadre was Red Talons whom are believed to be codex compliant.

Veteran Sergeant Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 You may want to flesh out why there is controversy. While it doesn't appear to be used very often, the Iron Hands geneseed has no major flaws. It's not like making more Blood Angels, or trying to use the Space Wolves again, something that might seem a bit wasteful.

Really this is an attempt at political intrigue, which of course I'm not very good at. The idea being that there is some disagreement between High Lords. The Mechanicus are fans of the Iron Hands and other members aren't. It doesn't seem like much but it may be something that allows certain "agents" to have leverage against the chapter later, or not.
