I posted this earlier in the year, around the same time as my Salamanders fandex was wrapping up. Now, however, it looks a lot better, though there are some unfinished rules (Arakor's Warlord Trait) and some things might be a tad OP (Stormraven/Land Raider Variants). If you have any comments or critiques about the codex, let me know!

Codex Synopsis: Originally called the Forge Knights, they were founded shortly before the Age of Apostasy. During the Apostasy, warp storms and enemies, both Ecclesiarchy stuck in their sector and pirates, ravaged the Chapter. Because of their rapidly decreasing numbers and the lack of space marine candidates or the resources to train them, they began training Storm Troopers to assist them, mainly by infiltrating and sabotaging pirate vessels or outposts. By the end of Vandaire's shenanigans, they were left with barely four companies and a regiment of Imperial Guard to secure an entire sector. Now, they are at full strength, and use the Storm Troopers for reconnaissance, infiltration, sabotage, and subterfuge missions, and oftentimes the Storm Troopers, despite still being normal humans, will fight alongside the Space Marines of the chapter.

The codex has a huge focus on stealth and infiltrate, with mainly ranged weapons, but there are some units that are capable close combat specialists, including Vanguard Veterans.

Also, when reading the codex, add Locator Beacon to Arakor's wargear.

Anyone?
