The Megamarines

 

Founding: Cursed Founding

Geneseed: Ultramarines

Homeworld: Primus Secundus

Primus Secundus is a blasted nuclear wasteland. Nothing grows and nothing lives on the surface of Primus Secundus. Scarred with deep craters from past orbital strikes, the Megamarines' fortress monastery is located in the deepest crater, located on the planets equator.

Fortress Monastery: The Lair - buried deep in a crater known as the "Whispering Maw", unusually high winds blast through the crater, sandblasting the thick fortress bulkheads.

Gene Flaw: As part of the cursed founding the Megamarines, have  a rare form of mental degeneration. The synapses in the brain seem to misfire within the ocular nerves which causes intense halo effects within all but the most lit conditions. Additionally, whatever affliction they have also seems to drastically decrease the centers of the brain that govern creativity.

Battle Doctrine: Due to their affliction, the Megamarines favor simple and direct battle tactics, heavy firepower, and heavy melee weapons. They usually favor blasting the enemy to pieces from range with heavy weaponry. Followed up by a swift assault....or more heavy firepower. As they often say, "When heavy ordinance doesn't solve the problem, use heavier heavy ordinance."

Recruitment: Given their issues with their geneseed, they do not get recruits often. Those they do obtain are usually from raids of the settled systems they patrol within their own space.

Chapter Master: Lord Chadius Maximus - Considered the mightiest in the chapter, he rules with an iron fist. He wades into battle with his mastercrafted thunder hammer, and astartes grenade launcher, pumping out explosive retribution upon the enemies of Mankind.

 

 

Design Philosophy: honestly...I thought, what would it look like if you just had a space marine chapter, made up of complete "tools." Flames, racing stripes, their rhinos, probably have spinner rims and say Hummer. They walk slow away from explosions, and destroy everything in sight. Is it a rescue mission? Bombard the site from orbit, once everything is dead, they can "see if its possible to mount a rescue."  DISCLAIMER: no offense meant to people who like 1 or all of these things.
