I'm by no means au fait with the fluff, but I thought that there were already a few rather (in)famous Space Marines who went by the moniker the Luna Wolves

I think you might be right! Sons of Horus pre heresy ring any bells?

QFT.

If i ever hear anything from glee or its less well known delegates, i die right there and then.

I was also wondering if there was a definite deadline for the marines?

~Alex.

Ive had quite a few PMs and posts about a deadline so i reckon this is it

1st April - April Fools

Will still accept new chapter requests but that will be the deadline for the painting
Then you have a month to post this off, so end of April all marines would hopefully have arrived

I'll add them to the list mate

But while I cant tell you what to name your chapter, I would advise a possible name change since the Luna Wolves was Horus's Chapter until they were renamed the Sons Of Horus at the start of the Heresy and I doubt that any loyalist chapter would name themselves that

Just a bit of advise mate

Just started painting my figure, I'm actually doing a whole chapter so he just got a base coat of red since I'm doing a mass paint brush session for the army!
If you are interested in the full chapter progress you can have a look here; http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/328895.page
I'll post up a wip pic when I'm a little further along.

Also - do you think you could link this from the main post?

**porkuslime**

Just to let you know, smurfwedge.. I am UNABLE to complete the Warmonger marine.. too darn cold here in my paint facility. As a result, I was in touch with Rook, and have shipped the marine I built as a Warmonger to him to paint. So, the Warmonger could be considered to be a 2-person project... lol

I feel bad for being the only one that's giving a scout marine...

**1hadhq**

Torin the Wayfarer wrote:I feel bad for being the only one that's giving a scout marine...

Why?
There will be 2 scouts

Scouts aren't cheaper than other plastic marines and you can outperform the other marines on its paintjob too, so a scout is as valuable as any other 'out of the box fig'.

also is it possible for you when you get the whole troop to play a large game and then do a battle rep of it, that would be very awesome!

**JaxnFury**

Please do mate...that would be cool

Send me the Chapter names

No particular type......any type of marine really as long as its loyalist

I would love to do a battle report mate but unfortunately I dont have a club that I belong to here....oh well
Although what we can do if anyone is interested is write a little bit of fiction for this gathering....best one will be the official story

Really cool mate
Very dynamic pose...cant wait to see the finished product

**Sageheart**

what might be interesting is to have a bit of fluff for each marine, and then an overall story which can be a contest haha but that would be a lot of fluff.

I have my sky-wardens which will take a while to start actually painting since i need to buy some quickshade for them. The other chapter i have is my ex-girlfriends which is titled the sons of talidha, which is a blue chapter. ill get some pics up when i start some models for this!

That was what I wanted mate

Wanted everyone to submit backstory for their own chapters
would be really cool if most people did it

**Asherian Command**

I have Librarian of the Fire Order of the Storm Crusaders Chapter. Basically a sub sub rank of the Library.

Just tell me where to send it. Sorry for paint job, just started to paint.
The Order of Fire- This order specializes in the use of pyschic attacks as it uses the power of the warp to destroy the enemies from afar. Using all manners of combat to combat the foe the Order of fire literally burns the life out of all of their enemies, and shoot leath lightning at their enemies. They slaughter their enemies in the name of the Imperium and they know no fear.
Colors: Fire Red + Dark Green
Motto: "We are the lords of fire, and we shall put your life to it."
Equipment: Melta weaponry, and usually avenger ability.

Background

Storm Crusaders

Founding:Second Founding

Battle Cry: The Storm Has Come for you!

Geneseed: (expunged)

Homeworld: Drancoris Sector

Chapter Master: Grand Templar Calnor Alrnia and Arch Templar Malnar

Chapter no: 124

Current Activities: Crusades in Armaggeddon, Grimnar, Ghoul Stars, Drancoris

Number of Companies: 31

The Storm Crusaders are a massive chapter containing at least 3,700 Space Marines. Due to its large size it is often sent on campagians, that are long and bloody. The Chapter is orgainized into compaines like normal space marine chapters but this chapter differs in its names and its orginzation of its compainies. The 2-5 Compaines are Battle Compaines, that are usually sent on campagians in the Ghoul Stars, the 6th-9 compaines are reserve compaines that protect the fortress Monestary from harm. The 10th,14,16,17,18th,19th,20th,22nd and the 23rd are all Campagianing Companies, These are the main bulk of the chapter, but unlike battle compaines they specialize in a certain type of Battle Brother. For Example the 10th Company Nicknamed the Iron Wolves by other Imperail Orgainzations has 4 Tactical Squads, 3 Assualt Squads, and 3 Devastor Squads. Compared to the 20th company which consists of 4 Tactical, 4 Devastors, and 2 Assualt Squads. All of the companies are very indepedent from the Chapter, each company holds a fortress or Outpost in which to recurit more troops for the chapter and their company.

Unlike Most Chapters the Storm Crusaders have 5 Elite Compaines. They are orgainized into these 5 orgianzations, they so follow, the 15th The Guardians-The Defenders of the Storm Crusader's Fortress Monestary. Alpha Squadron has no company marking but is instead the special forces of the chapter, as their name dicates they deal with some of the most fearsome oppenents in the gaxaly. . The 31st Company is the Brothers of the Sword, a large company only consisting of Vanguard and SternGuard Veterans. The 21st Company is a company only consisting of Termiantors. And finnaly the 1st Company Consisting of a Mix between Vanguard, Sternguard, and Terminators.

There short and sweet.
