The Marines Of Punishment (still open on a name)

They where found towards the end of the heresy, the Emperor had a chapter created to prevent any heresy happening again, they where to destroy all future space marines that may betray the imperium again. The Emperor took 500 space marines from one of the space marine legions (presumed blood angels) and gifted the writer of the scribes Abraxos the task to create the list of sins and to create the new chapter. Abraxos created the First list of sins that applied to traiter legions and chapters but over the 10 thousand years to come would have made 4 more that was for all species, only Abraxos and the High Lord Punisher know the first set of sins though the only difference between the first set and the others are there are more updated ones on th3 2-5 sets and the extreme sins that are no longer committed are left on the first set. Abraxos become the ancient punisher though this meant he was the creater of the sin lists and scribes for the Marines of Punishment but had no part in controlling the chapte,r he created the chapter organization that is different to the traditional codex astartes. there are just 5 companys called cleansing forces, they are made up mainly of marines that use jump packs.

Chapter Name: Marines of punishment
Reason of founding:to punish any legion or chapter that commit heresy though the chapter have now created so many sins that they punish all that disobey there special rules and commit the sins on the ancient scrolls of Abraxos.
Founded: M31 at the end of of the heresy
Chapter Master: The High Lord punisher (currently Braxious)
Warstyle: close combat (the marines of punishment believe true punishment must be in the form of brutal combat not range strikes)
Home-World: Clerastine
Recruitment: each Marine in the chapter start life as no more than a fetus in a tank that grows into a human. During this process the gene-seed is surgically added and the chapters life-style, rules and history is entered into the Marines mind through special mind control tubes. This allows a loyal and good punisher. after 25 years the Marine is released armoured and sent to its cleansing force.
Heraldry: A white skull or white/red cross. Full black armour with white and red details.
Equipment: bolt and infernus pistols, combat weapons (power weapons, glaives axes etc)
Notable Characters:Ancient Punisher Abraxos
High Lord Punisher Braxious (chapter master, captain of the 1st Cleansing Force/company and 1 of 3 head punishers of the chapter)
High Punisher Gabriel (captain of the 2nd Cleansing Force/company and 1 of 3 head Punishers of the chapter)
High Punisher Razeel (captain of the 3rd Cleansing Force/company and 1 of 3 head Punishers of the chapter)

Each Cleansing Force has 2 Cleansing gunships and 4 Cleansing engines what are all types of tanks from predators to rhinos to whirlwinds.It isint rare to see Cleansing Forces fighting together as the Punishers work as a unit, the Cleansing Forces are there to establish ranks and what marines can do what cleansing missions.

Executioners are the most violent marines in the chapter, unlike the other marines in the chapter who go crazy until injected with pain stimulators the executioners just snap in there mind and go bezerk beyond help, because of this at the end of every battle the executioners that do snap are shot in the head and have there gene-seed removed. Those executioners that don't snap after 5 years are elevated to be high executioners, those that are more elite and stable though can still go crazy but not beyond help, these are the elite and vicious punishers in the chapter.

Assault Punishers are punishers who use the means of a jump pack to get to their enemy faster, these are ruthless and involve ranged combat during cleansing missions to.

Tactical Punishers are punishers on foot, more attired for ranged cleansing they are seen on missions but not as frequent as the faster punishers.

Official Chapter Name: Angels of Punishment

So, who's geneseed do they descend from?

'Presumably Blood Angels'
Not entirely sure why presumably...
Also the Emperor didn't create chapters. Guilliman did, he was the one who broke the Legions up and frankly a chapter is a laughably tiny force when you look at all other chapter (Or legions) put together.
It'd make more sense if they were a later founding chapter that just had serious hatewood for CSM and renegade marines.
The entire post also needs reading through and spell-checked.

my chapter i created for me and am sharing they dont hate anyone they are sentt on missions to punish all who break there rules and commit sins, i agree on 500 marines ok ill change it to 1000 marines but the emperor didnt really create it but took the 100 marines from the blood angels (presumably because i wasnt to sure the other day now i am) and gave them to Abraxos to create it noted that it wasnt known as a chapter then but i called it that so it was easier and yea i know many mistakes because i was tired and the keyboard for my laptop isnt great

Well if it's created for you then why do you want feedback from us? I mean... I assume you do otherwise why bother sharing it?

i shared it to allow others to see it and i like your feed back dont get me wrong i have changed many things for it not to become more of a chapter that makes sense

It might help to read about a more regular chapter and change things from there then...
It's just right now it doesn't exactly mesh with the background.
