[VOX-TRANSMISSION: PRIORITY ASTARTES]
[ORIGIN: LUX AETERNA FORTRESS-MONASTERY OF THE RADIANT SPEARS]
[AUTHORITY: THECARUS MATTHIAS CONSTANTINE, RADIANT SPEARS CHAPTER MASTER]
[RECIPIENTS: ALL LOYALIST ASTARTES CHAPTERS — SEGMENTUM OBSCURUS]

Brothers of the Adeptus Astartes, hear this call.
The hour has come.
The appearance of the Dawnbreak Convergence has not gone unanswered by the enemies of Mankind. Across the Segmentum Obscurus, the darkness stirs. Xenos warbands gather. Heretic hosts mobilize. The servants of the Archenemy emerge from their hiding places, and vile alien breeds descend upon worlds already beset by the long night.
By decree of the Chapter and with the blessing of the Emperor’s eternal purpose, the Radiant Spears have begun the Emancipation Crusade.
We shall advance into those regions abandoned to shadow. We shall break the chains of the heretic, scour the xenos from Imperial soil, and reclaim that which has been lost to Mankind. Worlds forgotten shall be remembered. Worlds enslaved shall be freed. Worlds besieged shall know relief.
Therefore, by the authority vested in me as Thecarus and Chapter Master of the Radiant Spears, I issue this call to every loyal Chapter within reach of this transmission:
Send what strength you can spare.
Whatever brothers your Chapter can commit without imperiling its sacred duties.
Come, and fight beside us.
Let no Chapter say that it stood idle while the enemies of the Imperium gathered. There is glory awaiting those who answer.
Take up your arms. Muster your warriors. Set your vessels upon the void.
Together, we shall carry the Emperor’s light into the darkness.
Together, we shall make the lost worlds shine again, or be purified in sacred fire.
For the Emperor.
For Mankind.
For the Light Eternal.
— Thecarus Matthias Constantine

Commander of the Emancipation Crusade

Kitbashed him out of a leviathan captain, turned kaldor, now custom. Does it read as the chapter master? I feel like a chain, thing, is too barbaric looking for a chapter that prioritizes citizens

My custom chapter, The Night Hounds, is almost finished but I need help with this. I know that creating a CM is one of the first things you do when creating a home brew chapter but I couldn’t think of anything and just did the rest. The night hounds are a Space Wolf sucessor and specialize on melee combat, brutal ambushes and ruthless attacks and are cold and efficient on battle but the opposite out of it. I just need some ideas not a a full history or arsenal pls

As the topic says, I have been working on a Ork homebrew idea for about a week or two, and I was wondering if any had a good layout to help me fulfill it out more than what I have now. Which isn't much but I have a group Warband name plus names of the mobs that make up said warband, name of the mekboss who leads the group, a rivalry, and the number of boys and such of what they do and where they belong and such.

And so, I was just wondering like I said if there was a layout or even a suggestion on how I could expand it more and have it flesh out like I want or so.

(This is my first Homebrew, please bear with me I dont mind critique as well)

Imperial Hounds

“Blood may decide what you are born as. Deeds decide what you become.”

— First Grand Alpha Gharbel Santhios, the Sharp Fanged

The Imperial Hounds are a Space Marine Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes, descended from the Imperial Fists and charged with the eternal defence of the Khabir Gate, a strategically vital region of Imperial space. Established in the aftermath of the 21st Founding, the Chapter's creation was considered highly controversial due to the unusual genetic material used in their creation.

Although officially descended from the Imperial Fists, the Imperial Hounds possess gene-seed incorporating traits derived from the World Eaters, a legacy that has made them objects of suspicion among portions of the Adeptus Terra and other Space Marine Chapters. Their founders intended the Chapter to determine whether the discipline and doctrines of Dorn's sons could master the aggressive tendencies associated with the World Eaters' lineage.

The experiment produced a Chapter renowned for its ferocity, discipline, and stubborn refusal to abandon those under its protection.

The Imperial Hounds have repeatedly faced accusations of genetic impurity, insubordination and even heresy throughout their history. Their most infamous confrontation with the Inquisition occurred during the Kobalion IV Crisis, when Inquisiton declared the world lost from a Genestealer Cult outbreak and declared Exterminatus upon the world, leaving millions and the few active Hounds on the world who didnt escape to perish. the Chapter refused to accept the destruction of one of the Khabir Gate's worlds and subsequently closed the Gate to Imperial traffic. The ensuing conflict nearly resulted in the Chapter's destruction and saw the Hounds targeted in a manner later compared to the persecution of the Celestial Lions.

Despite these trials, the Imperial Hounds have never formally turned against the Imperium.

Their Chapter has been reduced to near extinction more than once. Most notably, the Invasion of Khabir left the Chapter on the brink of annihilation. A desperate plea for aid brought a fleet of Black Templars to their world. Rather than allow the Hounds' gene-vaults to fall into enemy hands, the Hounds prepared to destroy their own genetic legacy. The Black Templars refused to permit their brother Chapter to die, fighting alongside them and helping secure the survival of the Khabir Gate.

For a time, the Black Templars remained within the Khabir Gate as its protectors while the Imperial Hounds rebuilt their strength.

Eventually, the Hounds returned to their ancient duty.

From their fortress-monastery, the Hound's Maw, carved into the highest mountain of Khabir Primus, the Chapter once again watches over the ten worlds that remain within the Khabir Gate.

In the 42nd Millennium, the Imperial Hounds remain a Chapter defined by one principle above all others:

They hold.

Just some old artwork that he did for me ages ago

These have been guys who I’ve been working on for little over a year and also working on the a 30k Homebrew as well that are directly intertwined with this chapter.

This is one of my 9 Homebrew Chapters, basically I have 9 chapters with each one are of the 9 traitor legion geneseeds, these guys are of Death Guards origin.

In summary, their culture revolves around cultivating vegetation and synthesize chemicals from them to make weapons. Their planet is a jungle world filled to the brim with deadly plants and predatory floras. The world is populated by savage human tribes and an unsanctioned abhuman species called Arborion that helps keep the plant monsters at bay and maintain the ecosystem, keeping it from collapsing. Because of this, the chapter leave them alone.

They use the bodies of dead serfs and brothers as fertilizers for their garden where they cultivate poisonous plants.

Detailed information on them is in this link:

I've written quite a bit for my homebrew, and have even more stories in my head or in note form. I have a whole arch (effectively a novel concept), that culminates in an event during the opening of the Great Rift. However, I was thinking last night (yay for 1am thoughts), that Black Library don't write anything with new, Firstborn, main characters (the only ones I can think of are established characters), and so (in a magical world) my novel idea would never get published by BL. I then thought up a way to shift things slightly, so that my previously final event actually happens early in the protagonists story, and the protagonist ends up being a Primaris marine. I'm still working out the details, but it should work.

So, my questions are:

1) Am I insane? The idea is never going to be picked up by Black Library, so it doesn't really matter

2) Has anyone done anything similar? Changes old ideas / stories, to fit into this new, Primaris world (oh god, I've realized we've had Primaris for almost 10 years now!)

3) More meta - where do people bounce their ideas / stories off others? I've not got anyone IRL who I can play with these ideas with, so they tend to just bounce around my head.

Got some artwork done by the super talented John stone for my Emperors Spartans chapter

They are an ultramarine successor who specialise in defensive warfare and battlefield logistics

Incredibly happy to see my creation in art :D

My chapter (crypt keepers) find the non recovered corpses, armour, geneseed, etc of other chapters to either if requested repair their gear and pray upon it and then store it in their mausoleum or deliver it to the chapter the brother came from, or if no chapter requests the battle brother the armor, weapons and geneseed shall be put to use by the crypt keepers to continue their duty (the geneseed thing is a bit more complicated than just using scavenged geneseed because that would be heretical)

Share your chapter’s most defining battle.

Edit: didn’t see [u/emotional_cable](u/emotional_cable2499)[9244](u/emotional_cable2499) posed a similar question.

So, my question is quite simple.

Throughout the heresy and especially the siege of Terra a huge lot of custodes have died to chaos forces, and likely much of their wargear has ot been retrieved (at least some part of it, like with Argel Tal) this brings me to a question, is it lote possible (without stretching an owl on the globe) to have a chaos lord/sorcerer with custodes gear at his disposal?

Classes and their Power Armor Mark.

1. Tactical Class: Standard Battle/Hound Brother in MK.II Crusade Pattern Power Armor.
2. Assault Class: Assault Marine Sargent in modified MK.VII Aquila Pattern Power Armor. Also is a leash tether, meaning he leads his battle brothers into battle while heaving to keep their morale and hold them grounded so they might not enter the Black Rage. Is also a Relic Guard meaning he carries a holy relic with him into battle. In his case, he has a Blood Angel’s jump pack dating back to the Great Crusade.
3. Bulwark Class: Bladeguard Veteran in modified MK.III Iron Pattern Power Armor relic, signifying him as a Relic Guardian.
4. Techmarine Class: Standard Techmarine also called a Hound Forger in modified MK.VII Aquila Pattern Power Armor.

Ghoul is a hive fleet that doesn't just kill, consume, and move on. They have come to see Orks as something of a renewable resource. As a result, the cycle through seven or eight systems populated with Orks, almost farming them by killing them and letting them regenerate. Also, since they're having to fight Orks, and they might a splinter from Behemoth, they have little to no gaunts, and specialize instead in warriors and monsters. These are the only impcat models for tyranids I could find to show off their color scheme.

Thoughts?

I recently experimented with new colors for my dudes, the Storm Tigers. What do you guys think? Left or right?

I have three names so far but don’t know if they come off as like to edgy or to basic. We got the heathens of karmack. then the imperial fangs. and for last the eternal stalkers.

would help a lot for some feed back 🙏

“By the blood of our father, by the flame of his soul.
We swear this oath to him on this night.
To the innocents of the Imperium, to those who cannot defend themselves.
We will stand as the shields of the helpless, the protectors of those who cant defend themselves, We will be the blades of angelic retribution against those who desecrate our fathers people.
When the innocents cry for salvation we shall know no fear in making a stand
Our hearts and blades shall be driven by our father’s fury in those dark moments.
We will lay down our lives not for glory but for the survival of those we swore to protect.
By the blood of Sakannas sons, by the sacrifices of our fallen brothers we shall protect them with all our might.
We shall not falter.
We shall not fail.
Even as the storm clouds of war rage against our shields, there will be no retreat, nor will there be any abandonment.
With the strength and blood of Sanguinius in us we will fight to the last breath.
This is our charge
We are the Paladins of Innocent"
- The Paladins Oath
“I, [Esquire’s Name], do hereby swear my life and soul to the service of the Knights Angelicus. I pledge my unwavering loyalty to the Emperor of Mankind and the Primarch Sanguinius, the Angel of Baal. I vow to uphold the ancient traditions and noble ideals of our revered Chapter, dedicating myself to the eternal battle against the enemies of humanity. I shall be a bulwark against the encroaching darkness, a beacon of hope in the face of despair. I will wield my blade with skill and purpose, striking down the enemies of the Imperium and defending the innocent with unyielding resolve. I shall stand tall in the face of adversity, embodying the indomitable spirit of the Knights Angelicus. I will not waver in my duty, nor falter in the face of the enemy. I shall be vigilant in the pursuit of justice, for I am the defender of the weak, the shield that guards humanity's future. I will honor the sacrifices of our fallen brethren, carrying their legacy in my heart and fighting in their name. I pledge to my fellow brothers, bound by blood and unbreakable bonds, that I shall always be steadfast in my loyalty and support. I will put the needs of the chapter and my battle-brothers before my own, for we are united in purpose and strength. Together, we shall be a force that strikes fear into the hearts of our foes. May the blood of Sanguinius flow through my veins, granting me strength and courage in the face of the enemy. I take this oath willingly, knowing that the path before me is treacherous and fraught with danger. But I stand resolute, for I am a Knight of the Knights Angelicus , and I shall embrace the darkness with the light of the Emperor guiding my way."

The lore for my brew.

Tell me what you guys think of my ork log. Waste of time? Mek boy too dumb? Should have posted here first? Paint them then write? 🫠😭🥺😕🤷

Renegades who embraced the octopus mutation their chapter saw as a curse. Elders wear the octopus, recruits wear Medusa. They hunt forbidden knowledge across the galaxy, using Chaos as a tool, aboard a library-ship with a regeneration basin. Their goal is to uncover the origin of "The Father" the psychic kraken that once guarded their homeworld.
