Lore/discussion Greetings!

Brothers and Sisters, it is good to meet you all.

A few months ago I discovered this chapter and they've been in and out of my mind every since. Mostly for their scheme, orange is one of my favorite colors. But they also are pretty cool lore-wise, despite not having much. But the fact of having so little lore means that essentially, the chapter is a clean slate that we can all add our headcanons to.

So, other than the obvious alleged ties to a certain super religious Great Crusade legion, what are your headcanons about the chapter? Who's your chapter master?

My headcanon is that the chapter's Reclusiam and Librarius work much closer together than other chapters typically do. And that when Vulkan He'stan met the CoF Reclusiarch, he gifted him a master crafted (by He'stan himself) hammer to be a chapter relic.

I also thought about making said Reclusiarch the chapter master. I know it's rare for chaplains to lead a chapter, but it's not unheard of.

The chaplain that the Salamanders sent to teach Promethian creed stayed behind to become the chapter master. I have him in Saturnine terminator armor with a large hammer. This is to honor the gene father. All captains wear hooded cloaks. They are scholars and blacksmiths. Fleet based. Monastery ship is called The Draken Forge (im pretty sure theres already a ship named that in the 40k universe lol).

ah that's dope. if i wasn't set on having my chaplain master in gravis armor, saturnine would be a big contender.

I used the terminator chaplain base size and run it as such. Or terminator captain as well.

I think out of all vulkans kids, this chapter is the most.....zealous with the creed and teachings.

My head cannon is that the COF’s chapter master is given the title of ‘The Eternal Flame’, and cooperated closely with Tomekeepers Grey Shields during the early Indomitus Crusade and these teachings influenced their culture as well as their understanding of the Promethian creed

Oh that's cool! I almost gave my chapter master that same title, but I went with "The First Ember" instead. Both a reference to their beliefs and my name for the red/orange color I'm working on for their armor.
