+++ BROTHERHOOD OF ANGELS 2017 +++

[Grand Master Belial]

The Inner Circle in collaboration with the Liber Astartes presents:

THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ANGELS 2017

Brother Astartes!

The Emperor has called for an accounting of all the Legions to be placed in a great tome on Holy Terra. Representatives from each Legion and their numerous Chapters are requested to provide a brief data summary of their history and past glories to be added to the vast data banks of the Administratum.

So, arm yourselves with your quills and your cogitators!

Activate your savants and servitors!

Gather your banners of honor and let loose the Brotherhood of Angels!

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!
