This is my fluff for my chapter... slightly self-advertising but i hope it helps you with your own stuff.

Would you have any objections to my chapter being reasonably closely associated with yours?

Go for it...

Name: Sanguis Draconis
Founding Chapter: Dark Angels
Homeworld: Larissa, Segmentum Obscurus
Main colours: Black, Red, Silver



A small, fledgling chapter consisting of fewer than 1000 Astartes, the Sanguis Draconis (Blood Dragons) were created to support the peripheral chapters, especially the Sentinels of Uphrateus of whom they have developed a understanding, yet wary relationship with.
The Sanguis Draconis are a fleet chapter, were formed by a small cohort of veterans deemed with the task of performing tasks deemed undiserable by their fellow marines. These tasks are performed with such zeal and conviction, that their ruthless and arguably immoral mindset earned an element of mistrust from other chapters and are therefore somewhat ostracized from them.
Most Astartes deem the Draconis' faith excessive, serving Inquisitors without question, sending companies to assist expunging the taint of chaos in worlds susceptible to it's inexorable corruption. Without mercy, the Draconis have performed exterminatus on such a planet, eliminating 6 billion humans, a third of which who had not yet been subjected to the taint.

Around half the chapter remain on Larissa, the proximity of which to the Eye of Terror make it subject to relatively small Chaos attacks, while the remainder are dotted through the sector, in remote hidden armouries.

In battle, the Draconis resorts to methods considered crude; resorting to artillery and heavy weaponry, forming large craters where their enemies once stood. The shirk away from the subtlties of stealth, refusing to utilise scouts and lightly armoured speeders and bikes.

I've not spell/grammar checked it, so there could well be howlers. Also I know there's bits missing and extras to put in, but I thought the fluff master might be able to sort us out

Nice so far...
I'll add a few things into my own fluff about your chapter...
You may want to add details about their organisation and numbers e.g. fleet strength, company composition etc
Solid start.

For help with chapter fluff, you might want to look here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showforum=16

The composition of the Draconis is formulaic with each of the 6 companies consisting of the following set up:

Commander 1st Company/Captain for Companies 2-6.
Command Squad
6 Tactical Squads; Rocket Launcher and 1 other item of wargear.
2 Terminator Squads with an assault cannon.
1 Dreadnaught
3 Assault Squads
2 Whirlwinds
1 Vindicator

This format allows all companies to be homologous and their tactics are therefore well rehearsed, but this lack of flexibility can be their weakness. Because of this, and their relatively vulnerable size, the Sanguis Draconis only enters battles after a calculated decision, choosing fights carefully to ensure victory.

Legless wolves lol

Luna Fangs

Cool fluff man. Nice list too.

I was thinking Sable Falcons

About your fluff...

6 billion people is not a lot in the imperium, the average hive world has about 100 BILLION people on it.

Just think you should fix that.

Also try adding an actual example of one of their battles, with the name of the planet, events that took place, list of notable individuals, etc.
