    Man I just feel like making a Rites of Battle chapter. I know you have too many, but I'm bored and have a Space Marine army to customize and need inspiration, so let's get this trainwreck rolling. 1d10 for reason it was founded.

    They are the enemies of the Dark Eldar. Now it is time to determine the name, livery and whatnot of the chapter. Here is my idea:

    >> Land Terrestrial !FEZKlA6o6g 05/24/11(Tue)05:41 No.15033730
    The Chapter Hero was a single tactical marine of the Ultramarines who was stranded in a craftworld after a failed attack. As he could not carve his way out, he started killing Eldar and wearing their Soulstones as trophies. Eventually he managed to intimidate an Eldar passenger ship's captain to transport him to the nearest webway gate on an Imperial World. For his bravery and tenacity, he eventually became the founding member of whatever name this chapter has.

    Yeah, the only reason why the hero did that was because he was batshit insane after having all his friends die and being forced to murder everyone he sees. If the chapter meets a puritan Inquisitor, they'd probably only barely manage to escape without being Excommunicate Traitoris'd.

    The whole batshit insane thing... would whoever commisioned the chapters creation really allow someone who was "batshit insane" or who horded eldar soulstones to lead such a chapter? Maybe you can find someway to work around this. Possibly he became batshit insane after the chapters founding? or maybe the details are lost... (instant explanation).

    Oh yeh, chapter name - "The eyes of #Champion name here#"

    If you dont want an ultramarines name, you could always say he changed his name after founding the chapter or something, maybe as part of his new allegience.

    I propose that the chapter master was stranded on an eldar craftworld for a period of time and was able to hold out single handedly after his squad mates were all picked off one by one. During this time, maybe he was able to do some awesome shit, such as kill several memebers of their seer council or destroy and aspect temple or something. He was later retreived in new assault by the Ultramarines. Blah blah, chapter hero, perfect material for founding a new chapter.

    One of his primary tactics he developed while on the craftworld was stealth and terror strikes to keep the eldar always guessing, or something like that. hence they use terror. Perhaps The soulstones in the chapter masters armour were looted eldar "gems" that they embeded into his armour to show his awesomenesss, not knowing they were soulstones or something...

    Maybe they didnt begin to affect his sanity until some years later? And so thats why he was given chapter command

    Chapter Master Mordred (Previously known as Septimus, but he changed his name after he left the Ultramarines) didn't want to be like this. Not after so long. Those gems he plundered and attached to his armor, he could hear them screaming in rage. He always knew some men considered him mad, and he was deathly afraid their rumors would become true. He looked at the foul Dark Eldar across the battlefield and was filled with a great loathing he had never felt before. The screams became comprehensible speech as he marched closer. "slaves to their decadence" "fallen brethren" "kill them". In rage he charged up to their leader, and before he could react decapitated him with a clean cut from his power sword. With inhuman speed even for a Space Marine he quickly shot all of his escorts with his plasma pistol. Under his helmet, he grinned. He felt like hundreds, no, thousands more years of battle experience crept into him. With a mighty roar he descended upon the rest of the Dark Eldar army, the First Company following.

    >> Anonymous 05/24/11(Tue)08:18 No.15034588
    Compiling the info so far;

    Founded by Mandred (Formerly Septimus) of the Ultramarines in the 32nd Millenium, who was appointed the task for being awesome after surviving on an eldar craftworld.

    They can see in the dark, but not bright light. They are total bro's who have high fellowship as well as being good in melee.

    Their homeworld is a barren airless rock, the moon of their recruiting world.

    They excel in using terror tactics, however they stick within the confines of the codex astartes as laid down by their progenitor the Ultramarines.

    For the last 8000 plus years, their chapter has been at least partially influenced by the eldar it seems, as the soulstones (spoils of Septimus' time on the craftworld) seem to whisper and affect the mind of the wearer (the chapter master). Due to this they hate dark eldar and slannesh.

    Red and black colour scheme. Name, the Dark Eyes?

    Questions;
    1. Whats the culuture of the homeworld?
    2. What was the name of the craftworld Septimus / Mordred was stranded on?
    3. Chapter name?

    Personally I dislike the dark eyes, but I do like the use of Eyes somehow. Difficult to think of a name which captures the broish, codex following but terrorising nature of the chapter.

    I suggest, once again, The Eyes of Mordred as the chapter name. Possibly The Eyes of Septimus. Don't see many loyalist chapters called Eyes of something.

    What might be a suitable colour scheme then for a chapter which uses terror tactics and obviously spends much time in the dark? How about Black and dark blue edging?

    Many years later...

    Mordred had his honor guard take their leave. He sat alone with the Warlock he had captured for interrogation. "Now, Veldara, I have a single request for you." he said coldly. Veldara replied "I shall not give in to the likes of you! You have stolen the souls of my brethren!" Mordred edged closer to her, and quietly spoke "That is what I want to know about. I hear the gems in my armor. When I fight your kind, they weep. When I fight Chaos or Dark Eldar, they scream in rage." Veldara quickly responded, saying "Those gems contain the souls of those of us who have died! If your armor is damaged, it will feed She Who Thirsts herself!" Mordred took off his helmet and stared at her with black, emotionless eyes. "Good. You have confirmed my theory. Now, do you want to see your fallen brethren?" Before Veldara could respond, he quickly shot her in the head. Taking her soulstone, he left the dungeons, attaching it to his helmet.

    Many years later, still...

    Mordred laid on the ground, writhing in pain. A Dark Eldar poison had penetrated his armor, and he knew he would die shortly. Such a small thing as death would not stop him from serving the Emperor, though. He had a secret kept with the Chief Librarian, one that could ruin his chapter's reputation if it had gone out. He knew that one of the stones in his armor was empty, and attuned to him by the Librarian's ritual. He died with a strangely calm expression on his face.

    A week later, the new Chapter Master put on the armor of his predecessor. He heard the voices, and for a moment he thought he heard a very familiar one...

    Cult of fear...

    So, after having seperated from the Ultramarines, they developed a cult of fear somehow. Maybe due to the effect of the soulstones on the chapter masters over time, combined with the culture of their recruiting world.

    I suggest the recruits have to under go some sort of extreme fear challange; perhaps being hunted to the death by members of the chapter through a large open space over a week or so, whilst under the effect of psychotropic drugs / librarium psychic mind fucking that bring their worst nightmares to life?

    After conquering this fear and not being gunned / hacked down they might be recruited. As they conquered their fear, they might use it as their favoured weapon against the enemy (although space marines know no fear anyway, but i guess recruits do...)

    Perhaps the ruling class of the recruitment world is a bit similar to the Night Haunter, in that constant fear of punishment keeps the population inline. Maybe it could even be the chapter which performs this policing role while of duty?

    although this is pretty much ripped straight of from the night lords...

    They become a full battle brother once they have collected a certain number of eyes from the enemy; the eyes not only symbolise the name of the chapter but also their similarity to the "gems" collected by Mordred (shiny, smooth, spherical) allows them to mirror his example. Maybe the cult of fear suggests that the eyes are the window to the soul and by collecting eyes, a warrior might absorb a persons fear for later use? Possibly by eating them... or just keeping them in vials on his person.

    Im not feeling that they are especially noble as a chapter though - they collect eyes as an iniation right, recruit from possibly insane dark eldar slaves and like to terrorise people up close and personal while screaming in their faces. And they do all of this in dark because of their super sensetive eye sight.

    As far as I can tell, the op suggested a dark colour scheme. I like that idea as well. If you think the white / gold scheme sounds cool, try it out on the marine painter and let anon decide.

    Okay then. Successor wise, the Eyes of Mordred are from the 32nd Millennium. This places them between the 3rd Founding (001.M32) and at the most, the seventh (Between the 3rd and 8th (mid-34th millennium), there are four foundings of unknown date, at least one of which is 33rd Millennium and one of which is 32nd Millennium)

    So, out of all the Smurf successors, it would be best for us to pick a chapter from the 2nd Founding. That leaves:
    Aurora Chapter - Armored Assault specialists.
    Black Consuls - Canonically destroyed by the Word Bearers
    Doom Eagles - Grim, depressed assault/stealth specialists.
    Eagle Warriors - Fleet-chapter. Bog standard.
    Genesis Chapter - Bog-standard. Space Newfoundlanders.
    Inceptors - Mentioned once. Ever. Oh GamesWorkshop.
    Iron Snakes - Greeks in Space.
    Libators - Also only ever mentioned once. Ever. Oh GamesWorkshop.
    Mortifactors - Voodoo marines lead by a Hungarian.
    Nemesis - Mentioned only once and that was in Chapter Approved. Welp.
    Novamarines - Codex die-hards. Fluff states no known successors.
    Patriarchs of Ulixis - No infomation.
    Praetors of Orpheus - Chapter which has close ties to the Adeptus Mechanicus.
    Silver Eagles - Lucky enough to have a colour scheme.
    Silver Skulls - Headhunters. Refuse to go into battle unless their Librarians think they'll win.
    White Consuls - Bog-standard. Also got fucked over by the Word Bearers, but actually survived.

    So what have we got from all this? Well, apart from the fact that Games Workshop loves only mentioning chapters once. Personally out of Smurf 2nd Founding Successors, I say we should either go with a chapter with no infomation on them, or go with the Doom Eagles.

    The Lamenters joined the war on the side of the Astral Claws out of brotherly loyalty. The Lamenters, Astral Claws and Mantis Warriors were the three chapters dedicated to dealing with the Maelstrom. The Lamenters were pretty knighly about the whole conflict, even refusing to fire on enemy vessels because the chapter they belonged to had sworn a pact of friendship with them.

    >>15041506
    That's the weird thing. The Lamenters AREN'T sad. Even when the universe continues to shit on them, the chapter keeps on going. They're the Don Quixote of the 40k universe; they believe themselves to be chivalrous knights in a universe where their fellow chapters slaughter countless millions on a weekly basis. They're underdogs and that's what makes them so appealing.

    Well, another thing that makes me appealing is that they snubbed the Ultramarines and are getting shat on as a result of it; something a lot of fa/tg/uys would sympathise with. (fuck ward, ect)

    It could be in red instead of black, whatever. Look at the white consuls and black consuls; name name, same symbol except one is black, one is white.

    Problem with that is that you might not be able to see it (same with all the black pictures here, now I think about it. Remember, the armour of the chapter is black & red). White might be the best colour for the symbol.

    Voices of the Dead + Fear + Preferences for darkness = Some kind of haunting motif, perhaps? Maybe a special group of Eyes, named after ghosts/ghostly eyes/whatever; who are sent in to "haunt" a battlefield beforehand, in imitation of their Chapter Master?

    Kind of ironic that they have Guilliman as their primarch but seem so similar to the Night lords... didnt Guilliman kill the night haunter? Maybe The Eyes can revere this side of Guilliman... the lethal killer, or something?

    Guilliman may (or may not) have killed Alpharius (or Omegon). Conrad Kurze/Night Haunter is believed to have been killed my a Calidus Assassin.

    But I agree with you about the lethal killer bit.

    Here is much of the info on the chapter so far, compiled into an easy to read format. Most of the chapters doctrine seems to focus on following the example of their first chapter master, with an emphasis on generating terror.

    The child trembled. He hadn't seen his mom and dad for days, and the nasty tall men with pointy ears kidnapped him. He was kept up at night by the screams of his friends, and now only he was left. He heard something in the distance. Gunfire, and more screams. He cowered further into the corner. Suddenly, the wall broke. Standing just out of the hole was... it couldn't be... a Space Marine! "What is your name, child?" he asked calmly. "P-percy, sir!" the child stuttered. "Brother Percival, from now on you live with us. Welcome to the Eyes of Mordred."

    10 years later, Initiate Percival was running for his life. The Librarians and Chaplains were hunting him down, and if they caught him he would be made into a Servitor for his failure. He remembered being told the forest bought your greatest fears to life. He sat down and hid in some bushes, and started smelling something unusual. A plant nearby was emitting spores, and everything started getting fuzzy. He remembered when he was a child. He saw the cruel Dark Eldar, how they tortured Uncle Luke to death in front of him, how he was thrown into a cell. Their cruel mocking laughter echoed through his mind, and he ran. He ran and climbed into the trees, away from them. "Conquer your fears" the Chaplain said, "and you shall pass". Percival grimaced. He jumped out of the tree and lunged at the nearest Dark Eldar. He strangled it to death and tore out it's eyes. He roared with triumph before realizing what he had done. In reality, he had killed a fellow initiate, who in his hallucinations he thought was a Dark Eldar. He got tense as he backed into a large object. Turning around, he saw the intimidating form of a chaplain. He knew what to do. He jumped at the chaplain and tore off his helmet, and starting punching his face. He however was knocked off his feet by a fist to the gut the chaplain delivered. The chaplain walked closer to him, towering over him. "By standing up and facing me, you have conquered your fear, Percival. You are now able to enter combat as a Scout."

    I think ill add some fluff on the home homeworld, recruiting world and fortress monestary. Although I still someone to generate some fluff on recruitment of dark eldar slaves...
    >> Skritt 05/25/11(Wed)08:59 No.15046543
    I have some stuff on the homeworld and primary recruiting world

    The homeworld of the Eyes of Mordred is the moon of Fovea, orbiting the larger world of Fovea Primus. This airless rock was chosen as an ideal point to base the fortress monestary of the chapter as it a lack of atmosphere would allow orbital docks to be built directly into the fortress monestary and so improve reaction to hostile Eldar actions.

    The fortress monestary was built in a large but naturally defensible crater known as the Occulous; this name is often also used to refer to the fortress monestary itself. Due to the highly light sensetive eyes of the chapter, the inside of the fortress monestary appears to be a dimly lit and brooding place. Most visitors find the dark echoing halls with the occasional half seen shuffling cowled figure or shadowed statue to be disconcerting. In truth, the inside is actually well decorated with frescos the not only depicting the missions and success of Mordred and the chapter but also the history of the ultramarines legion and the doom eagles most valorous actions. A great many eldar soul stones stud the walls as trophies of war, each one a worthy foe slain and consigned to forever rest in the halls of the Occulous. Due to his enchanced eye sight, a battle brother is able to view the halls of the Occulous as if they were bathed in sunlight.

    Recruiting world
    As Fovea had no existing human population, the primary recruiting world of the Eyes of Mordred was chosen to be its large neighbour Fovea Primus. This temperate world is one of contrast; glittering cities of white stone and bronze sit atop the plateaus that are scattered across the continents, surrounded by a sea of trees which spans most of the habitable region of the world known only as the forest. Local supersition says that the forest is haunted; studies by Imperial adepts have shown this not to be the case, however several species of halucination inducing plants and fungi infest the forest leading to these wild facinations. People who enter the forest are said to be confronted by their worst nightmares made real; the Eyes of Mordred allow this idea to remain in the population so that the forest retains its terrifying reputation. In addition, this makes it the perfect testing ground for recruits.
    The people of Fovea Primus are simple; their world has been held in a post-feudal state for 8 millenia with advanced weaponry and ideologies being off-limits to the general population. The rule of Fovea Primus takes the form of a constitutional vigilante government; laws were laid down by the Eyes of Mordred 8 millenia ago and these must be followed. Deviation from the law will be met with communal punishment should it be found; This can range from public lashing to spending a week in the forest or finally the complete slaughter of a settlements population. In order to avoid these outcomes, the population will punish its own; any found breaking the law will often be killed or crippled by their own people so as to avoid a punishment for the masses. This leads to a idilic looking society living in beautiful clean cities, however there is a constant fear of failure and reprisal in every citizens heart.
