Why where they founded?

 

Home World

The home world of the Iron Crusaders is called Irangion in the Sibaro System. It is a cold, desolate planet.

 

I would expand on this. What are its inhabitants like? Primative, advanced? Any more info on the planet as to why the use it, found it? Does it provide good troops? Does it have rich resources.

 

So a nice start just elaborate on things and pimp it out so to speak :o

UPDATE !!!

A few things to get you thinking:

 

Origins: "They were founded to guard the..." Is this intended to lead into the next section, or is it something you're still developing? Keep in mind that after established, SM chapters are mostly autonomous.

 

Home World: Irangion - what else is it like? Forrested, mountainous, rocky, jungled? What animals live there? Why doesn't it have many warriors; some cultural bias or event from its history?

 

Also, consider just how many people every firstborn son on a planet actually is! Perhaps every firstborn son must attempt the trials - that would allow the number to be weaned down as much as necessary and it sounds more selective. At least according to fluff, geneseed will only "take" in initiates that are both strong and a close genetic match for the chapter.

 

Combat Doctrine: Are they close combat oriented or a more shooty chapter? What are their preferred weapons and why? What elements of their history led them down the path to trench warfare?

 

Campaigns: Tell us more about Ivant IV... Who were they fighting and why was it memorable and/or famous? Does your chapter have a special relationship with the 23rd Acilan Grenadiers as a result? What sort of IG unit is the 23rd and how did they fare there?

 

Organization: Why the red stripe on the greave? Most special decoration on Space Marines has historical significance - does it relate to the Ivant IV campaign? For that matter, what is the color scheme of the chapter and does it relate to their progenitor chapter?

 

Hopefully all these questions will get your creative juices flowing! :)

Why would them 'losing alot of warriors" mean that they necessarily 'used alot of dreadnoughts'? One doesnt lead to the other in that statement... As well logically if they lose alot of warriors then they have a high turn around rate, so even less live to be experienced and therefor worthy of being put in a dread...

 

Maybe this answers the 'all first born sons' being such a high number of new recruits conundrum... since they lose so many warriors anyway... :unsure:

Well, I got ideas, If you are basically making them out to be like the parent chapter, then maybe use the trait system of the Imperial fists. the Suffer not the works of heretics, with the DA of(can't remember now!)

 

My Chapter which is called the Iron Guard, is a 25th founding chapter from the Imperial fists, that use the Imperial fists Night fighting color scheme with their traits with one addition advantage- cleanse and purify, with a major dis being eye to eye. That's how I tied my chapter with the Imperial fists. that an I use the black fist as my chapter heraldry also. Just think Black Armoured Imperial Fists!
