I particularly like the idea of them seeking out their founding chapter and you should keep it for a number of reasons. Searching for one's origins is a provocative idea that lends itself to your chapter's psyche. It invokes an image of a group that yearns to better understand their beginnings and believes their salvation lies in the secrets of their past. It also gives them a feeling of alienation and
isolation; a theme that appears multiple times in your summary. Build on that and the themes that go along with it. Isolation builds strength and weaknesses. Your chapter should glorify inner strength and the quest to hone and focus internal strength through the reflections of their genealogy. But their long period of separation causes friction with other elements within the imperium. The ways of old and their status quo are foreign to the Silver Angles and they struggle to integrate with their progenitors.
Also, a story about the Silver Angels seeking out the Blood Angels in order to save the day would make for a good read. In case you ever felt up to it.
Your homeworld has a little
too much isolation. Give a reason why people can't gather in large groups. Perhaps the environment is too turbulent and small, nomadic tribes are the best ways to survive the planet. This could tie into males being alone. Maybe food and resources are spread so thin on the planet that men must make extended hunting parties into the wild, being gone for long periods. It could also be to prevent inbreeding that men, when they come of age, move to other tribes to start new lives. Just put more thought into it.
You've done the hard part; you have made a chapter that feels both unique and reasonable. No one likes a special snowflake army. Build on your core ideas and you should an impressive DIY chapter.
Hey mate thanks so much for your input! I have made changes to their lore abit.
Unforuntely I went ahead with the cnage of the Silver Angels looking for the Blood Angels and switched them around.
It pretty much ties them in with the defense of Baal during found in the codex and rulebook at the end of the 41M yr998. Where it states that Hive Fleet Leviathan is on its way to Baal and Khubanda the Bloodthirster who fought Sanguinius, is making his way to Baal also.
The way it ties in is that Mephiston has a vision of all the sons of Sanguinius gather to defend Baal from imminent destruction although the vision does not show their foes, tying in with the defense of Baal. In the vision Mephiston can see and identify all the Chapters bearing Sanguinius's blood but could not identify the Silver Angels.
From this vision he looks for information revolving around unknown founding chapters and finds a trail which leads him to uncharted space in the Obsucorus and Ultima Segmentum. He sends out 5th Battle Company to investigate this unknown space. From there they find the Silver Angels.
This is what I have so far, their is actually alot more chnages but I am still not sure about them yet. Will post them once i think its solid and doesnt break canon lore.
My goal definitely was to not makem a special snowflake haha! Just another
SM chapter with abit of flare, so thank you so much!
The reason I changed how they meet the Blood Angels is because I have actually already started on a little short story. This story shows the two chapters meeting from the Blood Angels side, it revolves around Captain Sendini the 5th Company Captain of the Blood Angels.
Regarding the solitary life of the humans in Callicus, they are actually feral. Cave man like pretty much. I got the idea of how they live through Tigers, how they keep to themselves.
Once again tyvm for your help and input!
