INTRODUCTION:

The Brotherhood of Angels (BotA) started as a Dark Angels Forum Event aimed at participants creating unique DIY chapter histories. In other words, you enter the event by submitting a written description of a chapter that you have created. This has grown in popularity to encompass a major section of the Bolter & Chainsword Community and to be included in the Liberalia Martiale!

OATH BEARERS – Liber Astartes

1. Dizzyeye - Iron Angels
2. Realityburn - Steel Shrikes

Really? No one?

 

I, Realityburn, representing Tech-Librarian Azra Brandis of the ill-fated Steel Shrikes, make this Oath of Moment to submit a completed history of my champion and his honored history.

[Dizzyeye01]

After weighing up my options, I've decided to take another crack at the Brotherhood. The Iron Angels may not see eye to eye with the rest of their Brothers in the Unforgiven but we'll prove to be loyal servants of the Emperor and of the Imperium:

I, Dizzyeye, REPRESENTATIVE OF Shadow-Captain Lernae, Master of Recruits and of the Iron Angels , make this oath of moment to submit a complete history of my CHAMPION and THEIR honored HISTORY.

Sadly, due to things going on in my life I have to withdraw my entry.

 

I won't go into detail, but suffice it to say it will be next to impossible to focus enough to do any kind of writing for a while.
