So I finally finished some of my chapter's background to a point I am happy with, so here is my chapter background.

Name: Eagles of Nevermore
Parent Chapter: Raven Guard
Founding: 19th
Homeworld: Nevermore (Death/Forge World)
Nevermore is a world in constant night, as the toxic and polluted atmosphere is deadly in minutes to unaugmented humans. Before the arrival of the Eagles, the world was a bustling Forge world. A chaos cult of Nurgle called down a plague upon the planet-spanning city. Within months, most of the world was dead, and the arrival of the Raven Guard chapter brought it back into the fold. After the Eagles arrived, the manufactorums were built in the massive tunnels originally built for mining. Today, it is where most of the population lives, minus several small above ground listening stations manned by Astartes. The surface is still covered in the ruins of a forge world.

Fortress Monastery: The Eyrie
An underground fortress, the Eyrie is the informational hub of the entire chapter. It houses an advanced sub-etha communication system that can reach from Terra to the Eastern Fringe. In addition, it is linked to a massive orbital satellite network to warn of any warp jumps in the sector. It also houses one of the best stealth systems to be mounted on a planet, capable of jamming all sensors within the system.

Doctrines/Characteristics
As with most Raven Guard Successors, the Eagles have no mucranoid or Betcher's gland, and suffer from the same skin and hair malady. However, due to a mix of toxins and curious emissions from the core, the Multilung has become extremely overdeveloped. They are able to breathe almost as well through the multilung as through their own lungs, and are able to use all three at the same time for short periods. They are experts at night fighting and urban assaults, due to their hostile training environment. In addition, they are used as hostile environment troopers in situations that call for it. Their recruits come solely from Nevermore, and the final test for a scout is to hunt one of the 15 meter long tox-worms that roam the surface and kill it with his bare hands. Their armory has few Predator or Vindicator tanks, as the see them as unfit for urban assaults. They do maintain an extraordinarily high number of Whirlwind tanks, Land Speeder Storms, Land Speeders, and Stormtalon gunships. They also see TDA as slow and unfit for use in any situation but a city siege. In addition, they are often seen taking to war with an unusually high number of Jump Packs.

Relics:
Extremicus: A Thunder Hammer from the Personal armory of Corvus Corax, it is used by the Chapter Master when he goes to war
Wrath of the Raven: A thunder Hammer built for the Master of Shadows by the Artisans of Nevermore
Eagle's Rage: A pair of Adamantium chainsword gauntlets built for the Master of Whispers to use in battle
Wrath of the Trampled: The personal Crozius of Master of Sanctity Arretis Ilic, was used to fell a Renegade Warhound

There you go, will add their battle history as soon as it is written.

Bit of a dumb question, but I take it that living underground allows the populace to survive unaugmented from the deadly atmosphere, as I don't know if astartes take on people who are already augmented (maybe since anyone heavily augmented is already too old to become Astartes)

Correct sir, the populous living underground is unaugmented because of massive banks of filters/purifiers to keep the airflow going.

This seems realy cool, completely in-universe, a nice breath of fresh air from all the Ultramarines stuff some of us have been working through lately. The Raven Guard were made awesome by their Heresy novel Deliverance Lost, so it's nice to see their successors doing well.

Note: I didn't like the part where the Eagles of Nevermore just sort of turn up at the planet. Shouldn't the first initiates have been hand-picked from the youngest fighters during the war against Nurgle and trained by Raven Guard?

Very cool name by the way.
