A Glacier Serpent

I, along with some other people, have organized a Chapter. We play with out colors in DoW2 and SM, but most of all in the tabletop game. However, we are looking for more members. If you like Marines, you can join the Thunder Dragons, if you like CSM, you can join the Glacier Serpents (which I am responsible for) I do not have a picture here, but i will explain our color scheme the best i can. Thunder Dragons: Blue, like Ultramarines, with red shoulder pads, knee pads and backpack top. The shoulder trim color depends on company. Red helmet indicates a veteran. Glacier Serpents: White, with deep red metal trim. We have a steam group. Here is the background.

Thunder Dragons & Glacier Serpents

Three thousand years ago, the Thunder Dragons was a chapter in peril. Their home world of Karyvan, a rocky planet with mixed terrain, was under assault by an Ork Waaagh! under Warlord Nekbrakka. The Orks would have been victorius, destorying the Chapter and their world, if not for the intervention of the Craftworld Yhana.

The Yhana Eldar had been hunting Nekbrakka for a long time, performing hit-and-run attacks on the horde and disrupting their travel. Yet, they could not defeat the horde all by themselves, for the orks were many, and the Eldar were few. Isha'Ni, Farseer of Yhana and in command of the Craftworld, had always had a more friendly view of humanity than most other Eldar, decided that the Space Marines would be a powerful ally in the future if they were saved. And so, the Orks were crushed between the hammer of the Eldar force and the anvil of the Astartes defenses, and Nekbrakka finally slain by the combined effort of Isha'Ni and Master of Sanctity Turan Aleo.

The Eldar might have saved them, but the Thunder Dragons were still resentful against them. Casualties were high, but not catastrophic. In the end, it was decided that the Yhana Eldar were not enemies; however, neither were they true friends. They would simply prioritize other enemies if they ever met again.

The war was over, the planet saved. The Chapter began the long process of repairing the damage done by the Orks. The Eldar took their farewell, promising that they would meet again on the battlefield, one way or another.

However, the greatest catastrophe were yet to come....

Calun, a Codicier of the Thunder Dragons, had long been interested in the forbidden arts. He had been chastised, put under control of Chaplain Aleo. However, Calun decided that the only way to see the truth of the Warp was to gaze in it, unprotected of his Psychic Hood that normally shielded him. As he did so, he was instantly attacked.

A mysterious Daemon, called Z'sath possessed Calun and subtly began to infiltrate the Chapter. He knew that trying to open a Warp Rift would be too hard to hide, so instead he began to seek out those Astartes that were least strong in their faith, whispering words of treachery in their minds.

Aleo, being a Chaplain, soon realised what was happening. Z'Sath, however, had already completed his work. It was too late. ff Almost two hundred Thunder Dragons stole a Battle Barge and ambushed the loyalists.

Turan's warning came in the last moment. The Chapter Master mobilized his forces, and counter-attacked the traitors.

Z'Sath had wrought many changes in Calun's body. Now more resembling a daemon than a man, he threw loyalists with his psychic powers like leaves to the wind. Turan soon realized that any attempt to swamp Calun with numbers would fail; so he resolved to slay him himself. Thus, the duel that would decide who seized victory began.

Calun tried to kill Aleo, but, protected by his Rosarius, Aleo survived long enough to crush Calun's head with his Crozius. But that was just what Z'Sath had been waiting for. With the death of the host body, Z'Sath took the advantage to enter the world. Now, the Thunder Dragons saw their true enemy. Aleo immediately realized that it was beyond their ability to kill the Daemon. And so, he commanded the remaining Librarians to bind the Daemon into a rune, protecting them with his life. The death of Aleo gave the Librarians the time they needed to capture the daemon. Thus, the battle was won. Without the Daemon, the traitors retreated to their ship and set course for they Eye of Terror. The rune were sent to be buried at a sanctum in a distant moon, forever guarded to make sure the Daemon would not escape.

What happened with the traitors, none know...........
