Prior to begining the Heresey Horus was ordered to squelch a rebellion on Isstvan 3. Secretly plotting with his fellow traitorous primarchs in orbit the warmaster soon learned that there were men within the Worldeaters, Emperors Children, and Death Guard Legions who could not be trusted to fight for Horus. these Marines were sent to Isstvan 3 in the first wave of invaders. Within hours the rebellion was over, however Horus ordered the planet to be virus bombed whilst the loyalists were still on it. Loyal Marines on board the Frigate Einstein escaped to warn the emperor of the coming Treachery. Because of the warnings sent to them from their loyal battle bretheren on board the Einstein roughly 2/3 of the first wave of loyal space marines survived.

Marchosias Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Greetings Brother-Captain LaCroix, About two years ago i was also going to build a DIY chapter called the Lost Souls, but i opted for Relictors instead, so this article caught my eye. In all honesty i think the name 'Lost Souls' better suits a renegade chapter who pledge no loyalty, i would imagine a Lost Soul to be.. well.. lost! Confused with who and what to believe so instead they don't believe in anything. About your tactics, is their any background as to why your chapter prefers fast attack, maybe they find it hard to aquire vehicles and terminator suits because of the inquisitions interference. Overall i think some aspects need condensing such as the litanies of battle while expanding/refining the background, such as fast attack doctrine (as already mentioned) and the skull taking thing. Seems more akin to khorne than loyalist marines, so it's no wonder the inquisition are suspicious. Just my thoughts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91482-lost-souls-compiled-fluff/#findComment-1055093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
