The founding is 24th which isn't specified so I used it.

The traitor squad Valer
In 720.M40 the Valer squad of 7th company had fallen to the whispers of the ruinous powers after fighting Slannesh's daemons.After proclaiming that their bodies and souls are now Slannesh entirely they were decimated by their former comrades,the squad now consisting of 5 marines to the shock of the company had been whisked away by the warp.This event was made a secret by the chapter,but the renegade squad had sought their revenge,sooner and later they would strike again.In 923.M40,while fighting minor chaos incursion on Lawu 7th company was attacked by the squad which was now heavily mutated by the whims of Dark Prince.Their mutations had granted them strength and reflexes which were beyond a normal space marine.The centuries in the materium had been only several years to the squad in the immaterium.The squad was on the front of every atrocities that chaos had been doing and squad leader Valer had killed 2 squad leaders,wanting to kill the traitor and restore his company honor,former captain Dacius had fueled Valer.The combatants had fought with all of their strengths,but in the end Dacius had prevailed over Valer and had beheaded him.The remaining 4 marines were soon killed by the orbital bombardment from the strike cruiser.

New scheme

One of the Fire Wraith's honor guard tragic moment was the Siege of Harlko which happened in 200.M41.The siege involved 300 marines from 9th,3rd and 5th companies with the support of the 1st company consisting of 10 terminators,9 terminator armored honor guards and at that time chapter master Tader.
The chapter master became angry at the slow progress of the siege which took lives of 20 marines and thus he decided to personally lead an attack on chaos lord Jalan.His battle plan was to teleport inside of the citadel with his honor guard and to kill the Jalan.The teleportation was a success,but the horrors inside were underestimated.Tader spearheaded the attack in the cultist-daemon horde,protected by his guard.In the first few minutes of battle the first honor guard fell and this made marines even more determined to kill chaos lord and to avenge fallen comrade.As the battle raged only 3 honor guardians and Tader were remaining when they reached Jalan who had send another wave of traitors at them and in the end only Tader and Bellus the last honor guard were left.Knowing that they would not kill Jalan,Bellus had sacrificed himself to grant Tader a chance to kill Jalan.Tader pursued chaos lord and had finally faced him.Jalan although not a space marine was raised to superhuman levels by Nurgle.As they dueled Tader had impaled Jalan on his power sword,but Jalan shrugged the attack as it was nothing.In the end Tader prevailed over Jalan by beheading him,trough exhausted by the battle,Tader guarded the bodies of honor guards until the chapter's terminators teleported to his location.Jalan's death left chaos forces demoralized and weak which resulted in grave defeat.

cool stuff
I like it

Somebody commented and while I edited post above you changed your avatar!

I would stay with one color scheme for both your regular marines and your terminators. IMHO would be more unifiying and look better in general.

Terminator color scheme

Captain Huron of the 2nd company

The chapter is currently not engaged in any sort of battle,expect for constant skirmishes with pirates which are getting pushed to the other sector by constant chapter raids.Currently 5th company is hunting them and as a result has become skilled in boardings and space battles.

Good job mate.

Defence of Feram III

Normally peaceful world Feram III had been invaded by Alaitoc craftworld in 391.M41 who claimed that the world was once their maiden world and they demanded that the humans evacuate in two days or face their wrath.Knowing that evacuating was impossible to achieve in the set time,Jallus Ilius the planetary governor of Feram III had sent astropathic message to the nearest imperial force,the message was received by Eternal Solitude a Cobra Class Destroyer who in turn had send the message to the Fire Wraiths ninth company.The ninth company hand sent the message to Tertacia wondering what would their chapter master would decide.Armand had decide to lead 1st,3rd,8th,5th and 6th companies against Eldar.
After weeks spent in the warp the chapter returned to realspace at the edge of Feram system, and had in the meantime had prepared itself for the incoming battles,along with the chapter 15 imperial guard regiments had been dispatched to help the planet.After arriving before Fire Wraiths,commander of the Imperial Guard Antony Dask had founded Feram III in state of ruin.Planet's PDF had been mostly defeated by swift Eldar strikes and had been pushed to the edge.Imperial Guard quickly engaged the Eldar to distract them from evacuating population.When the chapter arrived they immediately launched assault,bike and land speeder squads against the Eldar.Fights mostly consisted of hit and run attacks of the Eldar,fast attacks of the Fire Wraiths and armored assaults of the Imperial Guard.War continued for four months and both sides were evenly matched.Imperial Guard and Alaitoc's forces had been constantly receiving fresh troops while the marines launched orbital bombardments against enemy's positions.Wishing to end the invasion quickly Armand had decided to take a risky tactic,after locating Autarch position he launched simultaneous teleport and drop pod assaults.About two hundred and seventy marines had taken part in the assaults.Battle that followed Fire Wraiths assault was bloody and glorious.Xenos and space marines had fought bitterly,bolter blasting xenos,Warp Spiders suprising marines and engaging them in close combat,Vanguard beating Howling Banshees and Devastator squad covering their battle brothers .The battle culminated in a duel between utarch Illumiel and chapter master Armand.The combatants fought with best of their abilities,dealing horrible wounds to each other,while fighting against Armand's power sword Illumiel had seen a chance to deal mortal blow to the Armand,he suddenly evaded Aramand strike and thrusted his power sabre into the Armand's hand a place which didn't expect to find itself in the path of his sword.Wasting no time Armand thrusted his power sword into the Illumiel's head dealing mortal blow.Without their leader,Alaitoc's forces had fled the world through their Webway.To ensure the planet's safety Imperial Guard regiments were garrisoned here.The marines had suffered fifty eight deaths,a horrible loss for the chapter,Imperial Guard had seen their five regiments wiped out and to be ready for the similar events in the future.

Massacre of the Illinoa hive
This battle is know as one of the greatest slaughters of the Fire Wraiths.It happened in 020.M41.Governor Andreas Breman of the Galistov Prime a hive world located in Vectos sector had faltered from the Emperor's light and fell to the temptations of chaos.He swayed hundreds of millions citizens,mostly from underhives promising them great rewards if they serve him well.Of the 30 hives that the city had 18 turned heretic.Imperial adepts were mostly slaughtered before they could learn about betrayal.
Holing themselves in their fortress at the Emman hive they sent an astropathic message to nearest imperial planet who send it to other worlds and then they would raise an Imperial Guard force which could crush heretics on the planet,but they prayed to the Emperor for they had a short time before they would lose their lives or even their souls.When the message arrived on the nearest planet they did everything as expected and they relayed the message to Eramik,the sector capital.Sector Governor had sent message to the Fire Wraiths to help besieged planet which they accepted proudly.
Chapter had amassed it's force which consisted of 2 companies and had sent it to the planet.When it arrived it launched dozens of drop pods to numerous locations of the planet.Cultists and mostly traitor PDF were no match for the tactics and weapons of the space marines.It seemed that the rebellion would end quickly,but Fire Wraiths had underestimated their foe.Assaulting Illinoa hive with their full strength consisting of 190 marines with the help of 10 terminators they made a grave mistake,the cultists had summoned demons and plus they prepared numerous traps laid down for the incoming space marines.When the marines came they were met by resistance which they did not expect.Fighting trough the hive they were simply overwhelmed by the suicide bombers or groups of demons which had constantly harassed them.They overcame all those threats expect one,cultists had summoned enough energies to summon Thousand Sons warband which waited for the marines.
As the Fire Wraiths were fighting chaos scum they fell before the bolter fire of their traitorous kin.They fought as best they could dealing severe losses for the Thousand Sons,cultists and daemons alike,but they were surrounded,expecting defeat 2 captains Jasul and Kasus with their chaplains had spoken a great speech which inspired marines to fight to death.Given righteous anger,marines fell on the chaos hordes and marines,fought them so fiercely that cultists hordes were frightened and they escaped hive along with 2 fallen terminators and every corpse of fallen marine.Fire Wraiths had lost the battle and ninety three battle brothers paid their assault with their lives.In the next attack the hive fell,but it was a pyrrhic victory,the planet was retaken two months later and the Inquisition decreed that the population will be closely monitored and subjected for the purity tests.

I dunno...this captain Huron bloke looks too...red.

What's the point with the red color?It's not chaos and he's not Huron Blackheart.

Artem the Master of the Fire Wraiths,Lord of Tertacia
Artem,the chapter master of the Fire Wraiths is one of the most recent heroes of the chapter.His story began with his birth in the royal family of Dala,one of the smallest kingdoms on Erak which had fallen on hard times because of the rule of his father Racha,when he was recruited by Ora'ja an Erakian name for Space Marines,his father became so angry at Orask for taking his son that the forces of chaos had whispered to him and promised him entire Erak.When the marines returned for recruitment they found Erak in ruins and upon learning what happened,they launched several scout squads which were tasked with finding Racha position and feeding coordinates for orbital bombardment.Racha was quickly founded and killed by a scout's sniper rifle.Racha's remaining forces were annihilated by lance strikes.Seeing corruption that has fallen on their recruitment world,marines swept the planet searching corruption and foul witches.Thousands of heretics were slaughtered by the marines and by the planet's natives.
His fellow marines see him as their leader and comrade which is closest to the Emperor.Although he is seen as an adamant figure who doesn't care for past he does secretly bear a guilt which of which no one knows.The guilt came from death of the former chapter master Qarak which perished under the bombardment of traitor basilisks,Artem blames himself for not teleporting to his location because he thought that teleportation would fail,he thinks now if he at least tried that Qarak would be alive.
Artem battle skills are rivaled by the few marines in the chapter so he spares with them in friendly duel which ends after 20 minutes of fight or after the opponent surrenders.

Fire Wraiths had numerous clashes with Ecclesiarchy over the belief of their recruitment worlds every world except Arcalio which was already deemed pure.Fire Wraiths delayed the arrival of Ecclesiarchly's forces for weeks.They left days later happy that the Emperor's worship was done properly.In truth the Ecclesiarchy was fooled by the chapter who were prepared for their arrival decades before and knowing that something like that would happen they altered the religions of their worlds to suit Ecclesiarchy.

Current strengths of all companies
1st:Ninety two warriors,eighty terminators and twelve veterans.
2nd:Seventy eight warriors,forty three tactical marines,fifteen assault marines and twenty devastator marines.

Tactics(Revised)
Fire Wraiths prefer close quarter ranged fights coupled with close fights,their Devastator squads are usually armed with multi-melta,armored assaults consist of Land Raider which spearheads the attack,Predators which wreak havoc on enemies and Land Speeder Tornados armed with underslug multi-melta.

Worlds of the Fire Wraiths

Arcalio
Name: Arcalio
Segmentum: Ultima
Sector: Dalix
Subsector: Hanus
System: Aqula
Population: 190 billion
Affiliation: Imperium
Class: Hive World
Tithe Grade: Solutio Prima
Garrison: 15,000 000
Gravity:1.09G
Distance from Aqula:1,28Au(191 485 440 km)
Temperature:+78 to -98

The hive world which population struggles daily to live and because of that the chapter recruits know to use a weapon before they learn to read.Arcalio is governed by the planetary governor who is the vassal to the chapter and to the Imperium.The relationship with chapter gives lower Tithe Grade which governor must give to the Imperium and gives him an extra protection should the world be invaded or attacked by the rebels.Arcalio's fifty three hives cover half of the planet's surface and the planet's oceans had been devastated by the pollution of the hives.The planet is governed by Lassius from his palace which is located in Urel hive.
Arcalio's native animal and plant life has suffered under the foots of the Emperor's industry,but it thrives.Arcalio has five continents,spread over the planet's oceans.
Urel and all of the other hives are mainly policed by the Tasrida,Arcalio's "police" force.They mainly deal with monor crimes and small riots in the hives,but when major riots break out or other dangerous things happen Adeptus Arbites step in and distance Tasidra from those things.
Arcalio's climate is very diverse,things like deserts,snowy lands,jungles,steppes etc.....When the humans stepped on the world everything changed and hives took the their place.

Lakus

Name: Arcalio
Segmentum: Ultima
Sector: Dalix
Subsector: Hanus
System: Lakus
Population: 19 million
Affiliation: Imperium
Class: Desert World
Tithe Grade: Aptus Non
Garrison: N/A
Gravity:1.0G
Distance from Lakus:1 Au(149 598 000 km)
Temperature:+98 to -27

The Desert world whose inhabitants struggle with Dark Age of Technology genetic experiments who got out of the control more than 10 millenia ago.The inhabitants are a hardy folk who are highly superstitious towards any technological relics which they use or find and their beliefs are based around them.The constant millenia of struggle with the monstrous beasts had shaped them into a very proficient hunters who use hit and run tactics mixed with spear charges.Main part of the population constantly travels the desert in search of water and food.When they find an oasis three outcomes may come if two tribes fond themselves on the same oasis:1.The tribes will gamble for the oasis,tribes will choose representative who will play the game,if the opposing tribe loses they must leave the oasis,2.The oasis is large enough for two or more tribes and when it happens they will often trade or unite against common enemy who wants to take the oasis and the 3.The tribes will fight for the oasis.
Lakus has a several small lakes which are unfortunately the place of the ancient research outposts and thus contain a large number of horrors which are best left alone,numerous armies had been sent to take the outposts or Scie'ta as they are known to the Lakusians,but they have never returned.
The planet is mostly desert with few water surfaces which are stretched across the planet.The Fire Wraiths recruitment is done at the Kasa mountain range every twenty years.The young warriors are sent to the mountains to be found worthy by "Divine Machines" or the chaplains.From there they are picked by the chaplains who transport them to a strike cruiser in the orbit who in turn transports them to Tertacia at which they begin their path to become space marines.

I think that you should choose a different name for Huron, he has the same name and colors of Huron Blackheart...

When I was making him,Huron Blackheart didn't fall on my mind.
I shall change his name to Adelais.

BTH wroted the info on Lakus.

Erask
Name: Erask
Segmentum: Ultima
Sector: Dalix
Subsector: Hanus
System: Heralia
Population: 370 millions
Affiliation: Imperium
Class: Feudal World
Tithe Grade: Aptus Non
Garrison: 15,000 000
Gravity:1.21G
Distance from Heralia:2,08Au(311 163 840 km)
Temperature:+48 to -71
The world which has mastered gunpowder weapons,the kingdoms that live on the planet think of the chapter as demigod warriors that serve Orask the only god which they worship.The culture of Erask is greatly centered on warrior's life and learning,but not all Eraskians choose those paths .Young ones who choose warrior life are often sent on the elite academies in whose walls they will spend next 3 years before the recruiters of the Orask's warriors arrive to take the youth,most young warriors eager to see their god gladly go with the chaplains,those who refuse spent next nine years training at the the academy and after the ending of their education they will have two paths:1.The warrior was funded by the king or by some count,duke so he is recruited to his army usually serving as some officer and the 2.The warrior was funded by his own family,he can choose the life of an mercenary or serve some army and leave it after the set amount of time has passed.
The climate of Erask is mostly continental with some tropical lands at the planet's equator.There are three continents on the planets who dominate majority of the planet's surface,there are several small seas and lots of lakes which are said to number in thousands.
The people of Erask are one honorable and often adventurous folk whose will and fighting prowess make them good recruits for the chapter.
The Erask is politically very fractured and it's people fight for many reasons,sometimes even for the smallest insults to their honor,
that credit goes to semi-barbaric kingdoms of the south lands.Kingdoms numbers in hundreds and none of them ,but one stands out of all them the Jaria,pinnacle of the civilization on the Erask who has stood against their jealous cousins.

Hmmm so how many planets do you have?

I have four planets,three are recruitment worlds and the last one is their homeworld and what do you think of the planet's fluff.

good : D. My chapter has 8 systems. So it is not unususal for imperial planets to have space marines as its homeworld protectors. Love it.

Tertacia
Name: Tertacia
Segmentum: Ultima
Sector: Dalix
Subsector: Hanus
System: Tert
Population: 2,500(920 marines,rest are chapter serfs and servitors)
Affiliation: Imperium
Class: Adeptus Astartes Homeworld
Tithe Grade: Aptus Non
Garrison: N/A
Gravity:1.19G
Distance from Tert:1,83Au(273 764 340 km)
Temperature:+98 to -140

The Fire Wraiths homeworld Tertacia is a planet located in Tert system.The planet was heavily fortified by chapter over the centuries.Invictus the fortress monastery of the chapter is located at the planet's southern part.Marines have placed all types of defenses on the surface of the planet like minefields,traps,defense lasers etc....
The planet was invaded once by the warboss Thazka who led orks in the assault on the planet.Orks have landed their roks into surface and from the moment when they started to attack planet surface they learned price for their audacity.The invasion ended in disaster as the warboss was killed by the rain of heavy bolter shells,after that the orks were starting to fight among themselves which had made them a easy prey for the chapter.Only 2 ork ships managed to flee the massacre that followed.
Tertacia has a single,massive continent named Tersum that covers eighty percent of the planet and most of the continent,the continent isn't a desert at it's center because of the amount of the lake that cover it.Ingcifi,Tertacia's ocean covers twenty percent of the planet and is biologically diverse.
Climate of the Tertacia is mostly continental with several other climates who are existing in the coasts,mountains and other places of the planet.
Wildlife of Tertacia is not particularry diverse so the marines have brought a large number of off-world species to the planet,which are hunted everyday by the chapter.
Invictus the fortress monastery of the Fire Wraiths is one of several human structures on the planet and it's very fortified,from land to space,defense lasers stand against anyone who dares to invade the planet,traps,natural barriers make to fortress difficult to destroy.

Nice color scheme, I like it better than the original one you had.

Quotes

Some of our brethren considers us lacking the righteous anger against heretic,
witch and mutant,but I say no marine shall fall fighting Emperor's foes for some vain cause,
woe betide any stranger not of our chapter who dares to speak against me.
++++Kesho the 2nd chapter master of Fire Wraiths+++

When they are done with they journey to become one of the Emperor's Warriors,
only a dozen of five thousand will remain,while the rest will fall to their weakness,
that is what separates a neophyte and a recruit.
+++Chaplain Helbar of the 10th company+++

When machine fails you,the marines won't.
+++Captain Adelais of the 2nd company

You think that you know the true meaning of war guardsmen,
have you ever seen land weeping under the strength of purifying bombardment
or ships launching their extreminatus to clear the stench of heretical upon the Imperium.
+++Terminator Sergeant Mahmar++++

How good are they(I think that they are bad).
