The desert known as The Blood Sands covered ninety percent of the planet's surface. Located at the most eastern tip of the desert was the The Rising Plateau, home of the Red Seraphs chapter. It was at the plateau where the planet's only water source was located, making it the only habitable place on Eristil. The Red Seraphs chapter were granted the planet after the Dark Marches Crusade, having been a Crusade Fleet chapter up until then.It was The Blood Sands that served as the first trial for prospects of the chapter. It was this trial that Stephan now faced. He was born on the Hive World of Archon, the planet that the sector had been named after. On Archon, Stephan was the leader of the Blood Dogs gang, but on Eristil he was just another possible recruit. One of two hundred chosen from planets across Segmentum Tempestus for their leadership skills, force of will and combat abilities. Even now, the thunderhawk he was onboard was landing at the center of the desert. There were six thunderhawks and two stormravens within the formation to insure all two hundred prospects would make it to the landing zone. Once at the center of the vast desert, each prospect was given simple combat armour, a combat knife, a single canteen of water and a compass before being split into teams of ten. Stephan was chosen to lead his team as they made their way across the desert.Eristil had long been thought of as a barren world, with no possibility of any life. Yet, resting deep beneath the planet's surface was an ancient evil. Long before mankind left Holy Terra, Eristil belonged to the Necrons. Now, it's old masters were awakening. One by one, ancient underground tunnels began to flicker to life. On the surface of Eristil, entrances to the Necron tunnels began to open. Slowly, legions of Necron warriors began to prepare their campaign to reclaim their world. They were led with the cold precision and logic of Lord Khem'Hotep. Soon, the Blood Sands would be set ablaze with the fires of war.(Chapter 1 - Pt.2 of 3 coming tomorrow)***EDIT: Added Pt.1 of Chapter 1*** Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315352-the-red-seraphs-a-fan-fluff-expansion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Is this a thread for developing the Chapter or one to explore them via fiction? While I suspect it's probably the latter (that "Chapter 1" at the end there is a bit of a give away), if it's the former, I can move the thread to where it belongs.

Olis Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Sorry, I wasn't clear - Is this an Index Astartes type article or a work of written fiction?

BrotherTycho Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Astartes information is to acompany the story of The Archon Wars and help one understand how I see the Red Seraphs. I'm still working on Chapter 1 but my girlfriend suggested I post the astartes information first before I finish the first chapter.

Father Mehman Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Always go with your gut on how to start off a story. In this case, your gut was your girlfriend saying something. Good man. You are very wise ! Since I know nothing about the Chapter, I like that you have some basic information provided. That you did all that for a little known "canon" Chapter makes me think you own them now. Go forth, brother, and make us a story worthy of Sanguinius !
