This is a small linked story to Ice Angel's chapter fluff, as well as the start of a larger story I am writing.

-------- In the dimly lighted interior of their Thunderhawk, the nine Ice Angels sat in silence, brooding on their new mission. Each was to be assigned to other chapters in order to keep the legacy of the Ice Angels alive. Deemethresi looked around at the eight of Ice Angels, Kadakrazz, T’Qwaba, Ruqum, Dtril, Utaan, Fwuapuu, Shu-Turul, and Tani. This would be the last time each of them would be together as a squad, if at all. Deemethresi would be the first to leave, and he knew it. The Blood Angels’ Strike Cruiser The Burden of Atlas had received the call of their successor chapter, and had sent a marine to accompany them to battle. Now, the pitch black and ice blue Thunderhawk neared the strike cruiser that orbited The Iron Torch, and Deemethresi’s thoughts returned to his squad. A loud *clank* sounded as the Thunderhawk touched down in the hanger. A group of blood angels formed around the ship, with a squad of five golden armored marines standing in front of the others. Chapter serfs and servitors sprang into action attaching cables to re-charge and re-fuel the Thunderhawk for its long journey. Slowly, the boarding plank opened, and Deemethresi stood. Looking back at his squad, he was at a loss for words. Slowly, he raised his fist to his chest and gave a salute to the squad, who returned it. Affixing his sheathed power sword to his belt, he walked down the ramp and looked at the red and gold armored host before him. A single gold armored marine removed his helmet and strode over to Deemethresi. “Greetings, Ice Angel,” Began the helmetless marine, “You now stand aboard The Burden of Atlas. If you accompany me, I shall show you to your new room.”

Spinning on his heel, the honor guard began to stride toward the open door at the end of the hanger. As Deemethresi began to follow him, he glanced back one last time at the Thunderhawk. As the marines continued down a long hallway, they eventually aarrived at a door. The Honor guard pivoted and said, “ This was Reven’s old room; It is yours now. Captain Aphael will be with you in time.” The honor guard pressed a control panel on the wall the the door slid open smoothly. Deemethresi stepped inside, and as he turned to thank the Blood Angel, the door slid closed. Slowly, Deemethresi reached up and undid the seals on his neck, removed his helmet and setting it on the simple cot. Taking in his surroundings, he noticed every inch of space along the walls and ceiling was covered in paintings. In one corner of the room, an unfinished painting was set. Beside some of the paintings were trophies taken from battle. “Just like home,” Deemethresi said as he noticed the multiple trophies. Sitting down on the cot, he began to remove his armor, replacing it with a grey robe set out for him. As he placed his armor on a stand by the foot of the bed, he tensed up, hearing a noise outside. The door slid open and Deemethresi spun quickly. Standing in the doorway was a Blood Angel dressed in ornate armor. From his belt hung a long cloth, detailing multiple deeds and victories. Upon his left shoulder, a wing attached to a sapphire, and was set upon his golden shoulder pad. On his legs, multiple icons and honors, ranging from laurels to a spiked, golden band. In his left hand, he carried his red helmet; in his right, a metal case. The marine spoke to Deemethresi as if they had known each other their whole lives. “Greetings, Ice Angel. I am Donatos Aphael, Captain of the Second Company and master of this vessel. I hope this room meets your standards,” he said, noting Deemethresi had already made himself at home. “Reven was an avid painter,” Aphael said, nodding. “He had given me this to be left in your care.” Said Aphael, raising the metal case and handing it to Deemethresi. “Make yourself comfortable, for we shall be traveling quite a distance to return to Baal.”

“What is this?” Asked Deemethresi as he was handed the surprisingly heavy case. Setting it on the cot, he pressed his finger on the activation stud and the case popped open. Inside was a dataslate, and beneath it, a plasma pistol. “Thank you…” Began Deemethresi, but Aphael raised his hand to stop him. “Thank Reven.” Was all he said before leaving the Ice Angel alone once again. Deemethresi sat and began to read the data slate, scrolling over Reven’s message.

“Greetings, Brother. I do not yet know your name, but by now you know mine. By the time you read this, our chapters have been switched. As I am now an honorary Ice Angel, you are now an Honorary Blood Angel. I hope my weapon serves you well, and be sure to give our enemies my Wrath…”

Deemethresi continued to read the slate, glancing over at certain paintings or trophies mentioned before looking back. As he finished, he reached down and took the plasma pistol from the case. Looking it over, he noted it was in excellent condition, and on the underside of the weapon, the word ‘Wrath’ was carved. Realizing what Reven had meant in his message, Deemethresi chuckled to himself.

What is this for? Is this like continuing it or something?

I am writing my own fluff about each of the marines I have received from the Great Marine Swap. (which will end up with them having to team up for a battle. You'll have to wait and see) Also, it is continuing the story a little.

AH ok

Speaking of GMS, did you ever want to do a swap? I don't remember.

Nah I joined the other council one. And I submitted my Librarian. As no one wanted my Librarians at the time. no one wants a Badass half red half green axe wielding manic.

You sure? Don't you have like 12k or something crazy of marines?

battle Brother Lucifer wrote:You sure? Don't you have like 12k or something crazy of marines?

Yeah I just don't like giving up marines XD.
And I already have 45 marines for another chapter from my left over bits.
I will post a few more lore. As this is kinda related. Basically the Wanderers were inspired by small squads going behind enemy forces and beating the living day lights out of them with high tech equipment. Of course they are descendants of the Blood Angels.

Oh yeah, I forgot, you use all your extras and just make new chapters

battle Brother Lucifer wrote:Oh yeah, I forgot, you use all your extras and just make new chapters

Yeah basically. Thats what I do. Crusaders basically have 12k points. Other chapters are like 2,000 points. Yep. It happens if you been collecting as long as I have.
Anyway this story is turning out great. And I may inquire where are these wonderous marines

Which? The only Ice Angel marine I own Deemethresi. The other named marines belong to other people. Reven now belongs to Ice Angel, Donatos Aphael is the name of the BA 2nd company captain (and I have a model of him)
and the rest of the Ice Angels are the marines that were sent out by Ice Angel during the GMS.

Cool fluff Lucifer. You may want to double check your editing, a couple little things in there, but I look forward to more!

I only did a quick once over, So I'll go check again

pretty cool story, i really enjoyed it. You really took the marines and gave them soem good sense of character while having a very somber feeling which i really liked and have always associated with Space marines.

cool stuff!

Thanks Sage. If you pm me the names and snippets of info about the two marines you sent me, I will write up their stories next.

oh word, i may have to do that. just trying to think which marines i sent you! haha. ill go look it up

sorry, but could you send me pics of the marines i sent you, cant seem to find them in the GMS thread haha. pretty sure i know which ones, a bolter marine from my gf's army with a space wolf head, and i dont recall the other. ill send you info on the bolter marine soon.
