oh god realised its only 544 words, well to please the crowd altough it doesnt qualify, here:

The Talon guard are followers of all 4 chaos gods, undivided if you wish. The Talon Guard were once a Loyalist Chapter, until after massive battles against the tyranid swarm, and many Talon guard losses, the chapter master and company captains slowly became disillusioned of their devotion to the emperor, as well, the librarians through out the chapter became more and more influenced by the warp . The whispers coming from the warp through the librarians, joined with the failing faith of the chapter's leadership, eventually lead to complete apostasy of which caused the execution of the chapter's chaplains.


The gods had been over-looking the chapter for quite awhile, Tzeentch tempted many into the glory of Chaos, Nurgle fed on the wounded, whispering into their minds about imortality, many fell to khorne after seing brutal scenes in the mist of battle, and slaneesh promised the remnants eternal beauty. A mere fraction of the chapter remained loyal to the emperor, but these loyalists were crushed by the overwhelming amount of traitors. A captain by the name of Lorthan, led the rebellion, he had managed to convince a large portion of the chapter to rebel and worship the chaos gods, they went about killing those who disagreed with him, the Chapter master himself disagreed with this heresy, and killed the Captain leading the rebellion, Taelios picked up his fallen brothers sword, the Howling Talon, but the sword had a daemonic possession that entered Taelios, and he fell to the very darkness he wished to purge. Taelios led the Chapter into heresy, accompanied by Terminator Captain Xaphen who helped Him lead the fallen chapter, believing, that through the favor of the gods, the Chapter would be stronger than the Emperor was ever able to make them.



After hearing of the rebellion of the Talon Guard, the Raven Guard were sent to purge the uprising, but the talon guard had already left, to become space-faring pirates, much like there brothers the red Corsairs. The Chapter master; Taelios, was favoured by the Chaos gods, he became a almighty Daemon Prince, fighting for the glory of chaos.

The Talon Guard employed many tactics before the rebellion, the most renown of them all is there implication of Hit and Run tactics, but many of the Warband changed their ways, as their gods demanded, but some still Employ the chapter's orignal tactics. The Talon Guard are a young Warband, still adapting to the new life style of space-faring raiders and seek the eternal glory of daemonhood...


Here is some background of the Talon Guard before the rebellion, ironically, i invented the talon guard awhile ago for a custom SM chapter Here it is:

Chapter Master: Brother Taelios of Brimlock

Chapter history:
The Talon Guard, derived from the gene-seed of the Raven Guard, are a chapter who favour hit and run tactics over sheer firepower or brute strength. They struggle to survive as Hive fleet kraken strikes from the east searching for bio-mass and the ever growing Tau Empire advances slowly from the south, hoping to bring new planets into their young empire. Having a secure number of marines ready to fight by their side, the Talon Guard must secure their defences and push back the invaders in their domain, or die trying.
