I know, you have seen these before... But I find it so much more interesting if I have fluff for everyone in my army and I love the idea of having loads of character in an army, and I figured that my BA would be the best choice!

Here is an example of your application, I will use Captain Castigon as an example! Name: Castigon Position: Captain Likes: His power weapon (a mace) and smashing xenos faces Dislikes: Traitors to the emperor, ill-discipline and cowardice Background: He grew up on a recruitment world used by the Blood Angels, and completed their tests with relative ease. He was immediately recruited, and placed in the scout company under the grizzled captain, Captain Borgio. They trained hard, and when finally called into battle he shone above the rest, destroying the enemy communications system with a few well-placed shots from his bolter. After suffering some losses, he and his lifelong friend were elevated to tactical marines, but separated into different companies, him the fourth and his friend the fifth. They fought apart for many years, until in one campaign they were called to fight together, the fifth and fourth companies. Aboard the battle barge orbiting Sendra II before the final battle in which the Blood Angels wished to crush any last resistance the two met, and arranged a meeting afterwards. But, it wasn't to be as Sergeant Castigon watched his best friend fall in battle to a chaos-worshipper. He picked up his friend's mace and slew the beast with it, followed by many more. His deeds may have been reckless, rushing into battle on his own, avoiding the plan, but they may have tipped the scales of victory in favour of the adeptus astartes. After heavy casualties, he was checked for symptoms of the black rage before being promoted to the rank of company champion. Soon he had performed many great deeds with his friend's power weapon still in his hand as a memory of his lost friend. He was promoted to Captain of the Fourth Company and Lord Adjudicator after countless battles and showing a great tactical mind, although some still say they saw a glimpse of the black rage on that day upon the planet of Sendra II, but none are sure. Your own fluff can be longer or shorter than that, or just saying what your character is like. As you can see, Captain Castigon is strong of mind, a master tactician and a great warrior, if sometimes a little reckless. He can pull victories from the jaws of defeat, but also defeat from the jaws of victory with a single decision. With an angelus storm bolter and power weapon (his friend's mace) he can take on many a foe in combat, and his tactics prove sound even with his aging years! There are the posts available, and as more people sign up and I fill as many of the posts as I can I will start another thread, this time with the battle statistics and the like on, which will show each individual's kills and the like. I hope recruitment goes well, and good luck against the fears you will undoubtedly face! See the regimental log! How have you done? Follow your character as they fight the xenos threat here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/377668.page#2967057

I'll volunteer for Company Champion.
Name: Marcus
Position: Company Champion
likes: Blood of traitors on his power sword.
The smell of burning Traitors in the morning
Dislikes: live heretics in the morning.
background: Served in the blood angels 7th Company for most of his career as an Assault Marine. Since his first Jump into Combat as a scout his superiors knew he had potential to lead as troops into combat so he climbed ranks quicker than others. once he became an Assault marine when himself and his squad jumped into the frae his comrades complined to him that for every kill they get about 3 for him. His first power sword that he received when becoming the sergeant for a Assault squad seemed to follow him. if it was lost in the heat of combat it would some how find its way back to him. During the 3 year war upon the planet SHADOWBLIGHT, the home world of the Shadow Legion Chapter (AKA my chapter), which was under attack from a Chaos Space Marine fleet. He was promoted to the 5th company as a Death Company Sergeant in the war. During this time he worked with a the Shadow Legion Vanguard Veteran Assault Squad. whom taught him how to win a fight with the help of his follow battle Brothers by equally splitting an enemy patrol so that every body gets a good number of kills. After many more battles and wars the 5th company decided to promote him to Company Champion.

Name: Romulus
Rank: Sanguinary Novitiate (Not Champion!)
Likes: The Emperor, Short Campaigns
Dislikes: Creepy Claustrophobic Space Hulks, Ork Waaagh!s
Background: Romulus became a part of the command squad when he completed a mission to obtain some chapter history from a space hulk, and he and his squad were attacked by orks and he was the lone survivor and managed to be rescued along with the information that was needed from his squad. He was greatly thanked for his achievements and was promoted soon after.

Techmarine Darius D. Ryzok reporting. Rank:Techmarine Techmarine Ryzok always had an aptitude for inventive solutions. He spent one of the longest known periods of training with the Adeptus Mechnicus for his disregard of the theological aspect of his calling. To this day he remains a slightly unorthodox techmarine although there is no doubt to his effectiveness in field repairs or fine tuning the vehicles and weapons of the Blood Angels. During the siege of Fellax Hive, where the 3rd company was bogged down in a unrelenting war of attrition by the orkish horde besieging them, he not only coerced the machine spirits of the void missile battery to resume firing after an Ork Gargant had all but destroyed it but he was also responsible for the annihilation of a large portion of the ork horde after rigging the main gates with several tonnes of improvised explosives at the 3rd company withdrew from them. Due to his unorthdox approaches to his calling he spends most of his time in the field with active companies rather than in the chapters forges.

Position applied for: Assault Squad Theta (Marine with Plasma Pistol)
Name: Leddery Gambell
Likes: Plummeting out of the sky with a jump pack, overwhelming odds.
Dislikes: Boredom, fighting weak opponents.
Background: Leddery has only one memory from his early childhood. Although the majority of his recollections are nothing but a dreamy haze thanks to the rigors of Blood Angel recruitment, he can distinctly recall an arguement between two men, one of whom he is sure was his father. One man was declaring that some course of action was too risky. Leddery's father replied 'Fortune favors the righteous.' Leddery lives this adage every day. As a warrior of the Emperor, he knows that his cause is the most righteous, and that fortune will never let him down. He takes great delight in the most risky tactics, for him, nothing is too dangerous. The plasma pistol he uses belonged to a former battle brother who gave it to Leddery after the pistol took two of his fingers off.
Leddery delights in the roar of his jump engines, the flash of his plasma pistol, and the rush he gets when his squad attacks a creature far bigger and stronger than any of them. If this 'Horus-may-care' attitude makes him slightly more susceptible to the Red Thirst than his squad mates, then such is the price for true fearlessness.
There you go, that's my application. As a side note, when you are all done with this, are you going to post pics? I get pics when I adopt starving African children...

+Retrieving Data+
+Brother Const. Sergeant. Assault Squad Theta+
+A veteran of many campaigns, Brother Const has earned his place among the chapters finest warriors. Instead of serving with the honour guard of the 4th company, Brother Const requested to lead the assault squads into the thick of battle, relishing the opportunity to fight side by side with his Brothers. Brother Const favours a power fist in battle as he is able to crush even the most deadly and massive of the Imperium's foes, smiting them into a bloody pulp.+
+On many occasions Brother Const is thought to have been claimed by the Black Rage as the destruction caused on the field of battle mirrors even the mightiest those inducted into the Death Company. As of today, Brother Const has not been inducted into the Death Company. But we, the Chaplains will look out for any sign of the Black Rage in any Battle Brother. No matter how honoured.+

Sign me up as a priest if you will.

Post by: Sledgio
Well then coolyo, seeing as you are a death company dreadnought, you will probably have been inducted into the death company after being put in a dreadnought, so as a warrior you were the hero of a campaign on the desert planet Gaskana, where you led your fellow space marines to great victories against the Orks. One battle, your captain fell, and it was left to you, as the company champion, to challenge the warlord. In an epic duel, you were equally matched until he grabbed at you left arm with his power klaw. The reactor exploded, tearing the klaw apart but also most of your arm. The warlord now had a strength advantage, and used this to great effect, publishing your armour. But, at one point he lost his footing and fell down a giant sand dune, taking you with him. During the fall, you managed to stab him with your power sword, but your systems were to clogged up to continue filtering the harmful air. The deathly substances attacked tour organs, and it was left to brother Nicholas to encase you in dreadnought armour. Once a dreadnought you were attached to many different companies, before settling in the fourth. You succumbed to the black rage, yet fight on every battle to win against the opposition and your curse. The dreadnought armour and your strong willpower is all that is between you and being overwhelemd by the black rage. How's that?

Name: Sister Hale Valence
Position: Sanguinary Priest
Likes: Helping others, praying to the Emporer and killing heretics.
Dislikes: Heretics, Mutants, Chaos and getting her hair messed up.
Background: Hale Valence tricked her way into service to the Emporer by pretending to be Male at the Recruiting Station on her home world (Baal). When they found out she had already been signed up so they placed her in the Medic's core of an Imperial Guard Regiment. She learnt everything she could about battlefield medical procedures as fast as she could in order to be noticed as a historical figure. Instead she caught the attention of the Blood Angel 4th Company and was recruited into their ranks. She found her place among these Armour heroes and worked even harder to furfil the God Emporers will.

I'll take the regular veteran
Name: Azazel
Likes: Fenrisian Mead, His trusted bolter
Dislikes: Tyranids, Imperial Guardsmen
Background: Brother Azazel is what some would consider an enigma amongst the company Veterans. Chiefly is his experience as Battle Brother of the Deathwatch. During his early years as a Tactical Marine he was sent to scour a hive city of a Genestealer infestation. After a month of scouring the deepest levels against the genestealers and around 50% casualties the squad erupted into a battlefield of hybrids and a Mordian armored fist detachment, during the battle the squad was hit by a stray Leman Russ round leaving the squad dead and Azazel all but dead. His salvation came as a group of Astartes garbed in black armor and the Apothecary in this team managed to give Azazel life saving triage. Shortly after the genestealers were wiped out Azazel was back on his feet and instead of joining a new squad, he instead opted to join the Deathwatch. During his time in the Deathwatch he fought side by side with two Space Wolves who imprinted in him a taste of Fenrisian Mead. Where Azazel made his name was during a Deathwatch sortie against hive fleet Kraken. During the sortie the Deathwatch became stranded in an Imperial Guard forward operating base. As wave after wave of 'gaunts led by a Warrior Prime swarmed the FOB the Deathwatch led a suicidal charge to take down the Warrior prime and thus breaking the Tyranid psychic bonds. As the kill team fell one by one Azazel found himself facing a fresh Warrior Prime, be it the Emperors will or blind luck Azazel managed to bring the Warrior Prime with his bolter. After the breaking of the Tyranids Azazel started leading Kill Teams on various missions, Azazel would have been content with staying with the Deathwatch had it not been for witnessing several fellow Blood Angels succumb to the black rage, feeling he may be able to do something for his chapter Azazel left the Deathwatch and rejoined his chapter as not just a Battle Brother, but as a hardened Tyranid fighting killing machine.
P.s. Sorry for any scarcely readable parts, I am really groggy right now.

I'll be the Baal predator gunner- Brother Spookman
Likes: Setting fire to stuff
Dislikes: Firemen, slow drivers(see below)
Background: No-one knows how he became a marine, but somehow he did. The only job he can't mess up (which he is actually quite good at) is using flamers. Maybe because it's impossible to miss. He succumbed, but refuses to leave the Baal Predator, as he finds it the best outlet for his anger (see dislikes). That makes him the 1st death company who is also a tank gunner, and the marine who has survived the 2nd longest after succumbing to the black rage.

Post by: Sledgio
Anyway, the battles in under two days time, and I still haven't written my list. I'm hoping for two sanguinary priests as well as at least one dreadnought. I might use all ten of the death company assigned to this company, which would eat a fair amount of points but could prove deadly! Then I'd take captain Castigon, as he is my cheapest HQ choice. He may accompany a tactical squad, but I am unsure as of yet, as I would prefer to take assault squads to make better use of my sanguinary priests. This will use most of you, apart from those of you in the command squad, devastator squad, and one of the dreadnoughts!

Post by: steeds of war
Youll be getting close to your mark for six hundred points. At that level control is better so a Tactical captain and assault squad are good bets plus then youve got two troops and use what points youve got left on what you want. Against Dark eldar a Baal pred would probs be a good I dea especially if its got the assault cannon.
39163
Post by: Sledgio
Okay, that would be highly ironic because the baal pred gunner is the general of the dark eldar! :L but it's only got the flamey stuff on it, no assault cannons... Do you still think it's a good idea?
39497
Post by: steeds of war
Possibly it depends on how mechanized he is if you can scout it forward and either use it or other weapons to crack open raiders then flame them which should kill anything that it flames. Its armours not bad either so you should survive a round or two in shooting in which you could easily make more than It's point worth in.
45244
Post by: Sister of Krieg
unless he has loads of Darklances then i don't really fancy it's chances :S
39163
Post by: Sledgio
Hmmm... I think he could lean towards that style of play!
45244
Post by: Sister of Krieg
The i vote soldiers instead of tanks, devastators for opening the raiders and taking down the ravagers then other troops for killing the eldar as most of the DE weapons aren't particularly strong but stick to cover incase he desides to use the dark lances on your squads

Sure I'll bite...
I'll grab the Honour Guard with Company Banner.
Name: Brother Dalorath
Likes: Keeping the Company colours flying high and inspiring his fellow battlebrothers with motivating waving of said banner and loud battleprayers.
Dislikes: Heresy, the fact that Sanguinius is dead and that there where no Chaplain-slots available.
Since Brother Dalorath's got chosen for the honour of carrying the Company Banner into battle he has become a man possessed by this task.
Even to the point of keeping a close watch outside the reliquary where its kept while the company is outside the battlefield, whenever his other duties as a Blood Angel allows it.
During battle he is torn between his inner bloothirst and the protection of the Company Banner, ever fearing to lose control of himself and thus sullying his personal honour and the Chapters(both figuratively and literally as the Company Banner would fall into the dirt).

I figured if you want to go against dark eldar you should run a librarian, keep him simple, a dreadnought with fist and a assault squad,jp,pf and 2 meltas. maybe run a 5 man dc with pf too
39163
Post by: Sledgio
i don't have a librarian, and that doesn't leave me much chance if it is an objective match! :/ Automatically Appended Next Post: Also the assault squad would die pretty quickly without a priest!
45244
Post by: Sister of Krieg
That's why I'm there ^.^ to make sure you guys do go getting yourselves killed
37068
Post by: Conservationist
Hmm... perhaps 2 assault sqauds with jp then, against dark eldar you don't want much static units. 1 priest, also with jp and your hq. More or less the list goes like this:
2 Assault sqauds - 225pts each
each sqaud has a melta and a pf
1 Priest - 75pt
JP
which goes to 525 points, thats the best I can think of, move some things around to fit the HQ in and you are all set to crush them!
39163
Post by: Sledgio
Exactly! And I know he will be taking a few lances, they'll be more worth his points if I take a dreadnought! Automatically Appended Next Post: Erm, if one squad has a priest, the other will die? And my assault marines are already modelled!

Post by: Sister of Krieg
That's good but if it's only a 550pts battle then this should be enough to take out 550pts od DE ^.^
40392
Post by: thenoobbomb
It sure will
39163
Post by: Sledgio
Okay, I now have a risky list, and a less risky list. The less risky is based on @conservationist's thoughts and goes as follows:
Captain 100
Assault squad w/ 2 plasma pistols, power weapon 235
Assault squad 190
Sanguinary Priest w/ jp
600
I cannot change the wargear on the assault squads, they are already modeled!
Or the riskier list:
Captain 100
5 man assault squad w/ 2 plasma pistols, power weapon 145
5 man assault squad 100
Librarian Dreadnought 175
Sanguinary Priest 75
595
The latter relies heavily on the librarian dreadnought to do a lot of damage, and use his psychic powers to full effect! What do you think?
45244
Post by: Sister of Krieg
With the riskier list I am sure that if the DE see you dreadnought they will use Dark Lances on it which as it's your only vehicle it will be the main target, where as with the first list they are all jump units I guess so the targets for the dark lances will be your Captain and Sanguinary Priest :S (which isn't good for me)
So really it's your choice but I would'nt bet on the Dreadnought making it's points back unless you are lucky with rolling saves.
40392
Post by: thenoobbomb
Id do the safe list
39163
Post by: Sledgio
And the safe list does have 20 space marines in 600 points, which isn't bad!  I have one problem with both lists, though. My captain is the only non-jump infantry unit, so can't join squads or get into battle quick enough! :(
37068
Post by: Conservationist
The safe list is better IMO, but you don't have meltaguns on the assault sqauds right? if not then its ok, just saying that if you are ever going to get another box of marines, arm them with melta's and a pf they will be able to reduce the Eldar's vehicles to slag in no time. Meanwhile, this list should do the job. Are you gonna deepstrike anything?
40392
Post by: thenoobbomb
Should be a good idea IMHO
39163
Post by: Sledgio
I was thinking that it would be safer (i'm not the best at rolling a scatter die  ) to have everyone start on the board, and then none of my reserves would end up being late (i'm also not the best at those rolls) and if they all started, I could run a bit and the distance would be greatly reduced in no time!

Ye the one problem you will have with the Safe list is trying to break there tanks open as It might take a little while with only a plasma pistol.
40392
Post by: thenoobbomb
The DE willl have a transport..As its low-armor the plasma could damage it..(could)
39163

If I remember rightly, their vehicles are open-topped, which should make it a bit easier! And I think he only has the one!
40392
Post by: thenoobbomb
even better, all ur units have frag and krak grenades..
39497
Post by: steeds of war
I'd go safe even though I do like killing things  I'd capture one objective with the non plasma squad and then kill maim and capture with the plas squad and sanguinary priest and just use your captain to help dafend your objective and countercharge possible threats.
39163
Post by: Sledgio
Okay, final list is up!  May or may not take photos, one assault squad and the captain are painted, the other assault squad basecoated, and Sanguinary Priest Valence is in mid-conversion!
Captain Castigon 100pts
Assault Squad Eta- meltabombs 195pts
Assault Squad Theta- meltabombs, plasma pistol and power weapon 225pts
Sanguinary Priest Brother/Sister Valence- Jump pack 75pts
595pts
Tactics-wise, I might split the plas-unit into combat squads, one with both the plasmas and the meltabombs to go after any tanks and the other with none, to go after any smaller units such as reaver jetbikes and the like! Then the other squad will go straight in at the warriors/wyches, do some damage before one squad (the best option will be picked at the time) will regroup on an objective! My captain will generally stick to cover, trying to help anyone out if needed!
40392

If you split up, do one with power weapon and plasma: ati inf, 1 with meltabombs. Plasma aint good against tanks. Your frag and krak grenades are better lol.

Is there anything special I need to do to be able to become a Marine? Like post x amount of times or something?
If not, I would like to submit my own fluff for the Death Company Marine with the Thunder Hammer.
Name: Brandon
Postion: Ex-Assault Marine, Currently in the Death Company
Likes: Nothing more than smashing things with Divination, his thunder hammer
Dislikes: Waiting, restraints, anything that will hold him back
Info: Once a proud member of an Assault squad formed long ago, Brandon began to show signs of the Black Rage. Outside of combat, he became reckless and tireless, pacing the halls in the fortress monastary on Baal Secundus. When he attacked a fellow battle brother unprovoked, he was placed in isolation away from the other marines. When he began to mumble about fighting Horus and seeing the other Primarchs, he was diagnosed with the Black rage and was placed in a Death Company under the guidance of Chaplain Lemartes. He was given a thunder hammer with a broken power field generator for his service in the Death Company. His superiors expected Brandon to die shortly after his induction into the Death Company. They were proven wrong time and time again by the unwavering fury of this ex-Assault marine.

Although I won't be in the battle, my tactical advice as a BA player is watch that you don't move the assault marines up to far at once. If you just jump forward you lose the charge and BA are basically normal marines if they don't get the charge. If it's the other guys first game he will most likely jump right at you so use it to your advantage. Also if any brother falls to the flaw on this mission I am in need of another research spleen I dropped Brother Sam's on the floor

(Calls in Servitor to clean spleen bits. Servitor slips knocking over surgery table)  Don't worry I'll get that. (Shut door small explosion heard inside)

Guys, it didn't end too well...
Let's just say we made a hasty (but tactical) retreat and Brother Nicholas has a fair few spleens...  But I learnt something about the xenos! My bolt pistols did more than my combat, so don't take them on in combat! But we shall try again, next time with firepower!
Sorry about that guys... Automatically Appended Next Post: Guys, it didn't end too well...

Awh.. what ended wrong? Did they have too much cover?

Post by: Nicholas
Did they get the charge or was it just evil dice. Automatically Appended Next Post: Also I've realized spleens are useless, so those can be thrown away. I believe the liver might hold all the secrets I need

Post by: Sledgio
There was quite a bit of cover, and yeah they got the charge 9/10 times! :/ a bit of evil dice didn't help either, but both sides had a bit of bad luck! My bad luck was on single rolls for meltabombs on the raider an the like, whereas his were more 'guy #4 with weapon X failed all rolls to hit! :/

Alas, there shall be more battles soon where i can redeem myself! That certainly put a dark eldar shaped hole in my winning streak! But, i now have first hand experience and know what tactics to use next time! I'll update the regimental report later, real world stuff to do!

You may always feel free to write fluff!  just don't include anything about us massacring dark eldar... Yet...

Call it a recon mission... We now know a lot more about how effective different weapons and tactics work on them! Even a wall of bolters would rip apart their light armour, but combat I'm not sure space wolves could compete!

^.^ recon complete
39163
Post by: Sledgio
Yeah... Recon complete, valence...
I have to say, you performed well, the opposition targeted you a lot due to your saving-the-other-marines-ness! But you survived a lot and carried on keeping your fellow brothers alive enough time to attack back!

Awesome! I submit fluff for the Marine with the Infernus pistol.
Name: Virgil
Position: Ex-Tactical Marine, Currently in the Death Company
Likes: His sanity
Dislikes: The Warp, The Heretic, The Traitor
Info: Virgil was a part of Tactical Squad Zeta when the 4th company was tasked to combat a Chaos incursion on a distant planet. During the long campaign, Zeta was separated from the others when a Warp rift opened above them. Looking into the pure madness of the Warp can change many a man, even one as disciplined as a Space Marine. Virgil and another marine, Steven, survived physically, but were scarred mentally and spiritually by the vagaries of the Warp.

They were nasty but I did know about them, I think o underestimated them a little!
Welcome Brother Virgil, is there a particular weapon you'd like, there are plenty available!

He will be fulfilling the position of the Marine with the Infernus Pistol.
More fluff coming soon!
39163
Post by: Sledgio
Thank you Brother Virgil, I cannot wait for this fluff!
In the meantime, there was an eldar fleet seen at the fringes of our system, prepare for battle!
Probably next week, and I have a lot more experience against them, and practically 100% win rate, with lots of points!

Thank you!  It should be around 2000 points, I think, so most of you should get a battle!

Probably another jump pack!  And I think you shall accompany assault squad theta once more!  I'm hoping to get the new stormraven off the assembly line in time to use as a transport of awesomeness for the death company and the death company dreadnought!

ok ^.^ I will protect this squad at all cost

Yes, that works good. Mind adding a chaplain with the Death Company?

Post by: Sledgio
I have to say, I already have a better feeling about this battle. I think there will be a lot of enemy armour, the general commands four fire prisms and if I work out a failsafe way to kill them (I usually manage it) I may allow him to drain his points on all four as he usually does...

Post by: Begel Dverl
We..we get a...Stormraven?
I am not sure if I should make fun of it or overpower it in the fluff!
Maybe I should let someone else do the Stormraven...

Post by: Sledgio
The stormraven is going to be a death company stormraven, with FW doors and the like!  And it will be black! I wanna see it painted black, painted black. Black as night, black as coal. I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky. I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black. The rolling stones saw visions of the death company!
40392

They did.

But, seriously it will be painted black. With big red Xs on the wings.

The death company rhino doors! They fit on instead of the hurricane bolters!
