Which one, though?

>>45376140
Indeed! I say we discuss it! What would be most interesting to lose?(This excludes the black carapace and progenoids as those are a different result on the table)
>>
Personally? Wht if we didn't have a second heart? It would certainly be unique, and makes for an interesting Chapter culture, or at least it could
>>
>>45376151
Melanchromic organ? We could have albino marines.
>>45376184
Or we could do this. They turned to cybernetics to offset the major disadvantage of only having one heart.
>>
>>45376151
>>45376184
How about the clotting one? It would explain why so many of the brothers are mechanized.
>>
>>45376203
Raven guard kinda already have that minus the red eyes...
>>45376209
It's this or the lack of a secondary heart, either one works for me because both are SERIOUS problems for a space marine.

Opinions? Which of these two should we use? Lost muchranoid or no secondary heart?
>>
>>45376224
I mean Laramans organ, not mucranoid.

No heart secondary or no Laramnas
>>
I'm thinking one heart, which they work around with a cybernetic replacement.
>>
>>45376224
>Raven Guard already has that
Well shit, that's news to me.
>>
>>45376247
Alright, our chapter is cursed with no secondary heart by way of mutation! We make up for our horrible deficiency with extreme cybernetic augmentation!

Alright, now we need a d10 for Chapter flaw

Chapter cult - practices of our chapter are strange and... unsavory

Lets nail this down now, how are our ways unsavory? What fucked up pseudo-heresy are we into?
>>
>>45376309
It should involve hearts, blood, machines or all three
>>
>>45376309
I'd say, given we are lacking a heart, it should be something about ripping out the hearts of our enemies and eating them, or something similar.
>>
>>45376309
Perhaps they do actually grow the secondary heart, but it's really screwed up? So they cut the secondary heart out of the neophyte and have him eat it?
>>
>>45376309
We eat the hearts of those we slay in battle? Sort of a "gaining the heart we don't have" ritual?
>>
>>45376326
No wait, fuck that, after battles we go around collecting hearts for corpses, put them in pile and burn them.
>>
>>45376326
IDEA!

We take the hearts of worthy foes, augment them with cybernetics, and SHOVE THEM IN THERE

>augmenting worthy hearts for their own use
I'm digging this.
>>
but how often would they find suitable hearts?
>>
Ok so,(our name HAS to involve hearts now), after a battle our apothecaries remove the hearts of worthy foes be they xenos, chaos or otherwise,augment them and place them where our ordinary second heart would be. These hearts inevitably fail and are replaced by more worthy foes. In addititon, our original secondary heart which is grown but is useless is eaten by its own neophyte in a special ceremony upon becoming scouts

now, d100 for chapter figure of legend

Point.

Say, how about not fielding Devastators? Heavy weapon fire FUCKS UP hearts.
>>
>>45376651
Devastators would be used against those we weak, unworthy hearts
>>
>>45376642
It wouldn't be the first chapter the Inquisition wasn't fond of.
>>
>>45376601

>>45376613
Well, what do you mean by 'truly' out there? Enlighten me with ideas of our EXTREMELY unique organization laddies
>>
>>45376682
I'm just saying Chaos corrupts, and while you can take the heart out and replace it you're still going to be tainted.
I like the chapter and they way it's shaping up I just think it fits more renegade rather than loyalist marines (basically like Relictors or something)
>>
>>45376642
I still think we need to think the details of this through. Having a xenos heart is one thing, but a daemon heart is bound to lead to some awful stuff.
>>
>>45376709
Our flawed gene seed might have brought an increased resistance to the corrupting powers of the warp.
>>
>>45376706
WELL, MAYBE, BUT ALSO...
>>45376709
It was a master of samcity, he was SO pious he overcame the corruption. I ALSO say he is still our chapter master/Master of sanctity/Head Librarian cause merging all three just sounds BADASS! Plus I think that daemon heart would make him effectively immortal AND give him psyker powers
>>
>>45376689
If you're going to put me on the spot, I'd say something like not using the 10th Company for initiates, but I'm struggling for away to make it unique right now.
>>
>>45376720
Also this

ONE HEARt Of THE PURE! ONE OF THE TAINTIED! WE CARRY BOTH IN OUR BREAST!
>>
>>45376721
I'm not sure if that's the best idea I've ever heard, or the dumbest.
>>
For uniqueness I say we only field devastators against those we consider weak, the Reliquary, Librarium and chapter comman are all merged. Most Captains are also either Chaplains or librarians, and our chapter master is all three
>>
>>45376737
I'm going to say the latter
>>
>>45376732
Well, I think we have a chapter motto, or at least the base for it
>>
>>45376748
My vote is for the former.
>>
look, I thin kit is awesome, but if everyone else finds it stupid it won't be the case... but COME ON!!! He is the leader of all three, the command is completely merged, it just sounds awesome! And it IS truly unique in structure
>>
>>45376721
I still don't know. That's rather Mary Sue-ish.
The combining of the posts isn't the problem, it's the daemon heart.
>>
So we still need a resolution for the unit our chapter cannot field. I vote no devastators.
>>
>>45376770
We covered the deamon heart early, he killed a Deamon Prince, augmented the shit out of its heart, and shoved it in his chest, because our chapter is quite clearly mental
>>
>>45376778
Sure no devastators, it destroys the hearts to often

>>45376770
I could see it being mary sueish, but we DID roll it and... I can see problems with it. He is constantly fighting the corruption in his heart, and he nearly DIED getting it obviously... we could even put him in a dreadnought, making him the first psyker Dread I know of, as well as chaplain and chapter master. He is not invincible and is stuck in a dreadnought
>>
Let's not get too carried away here, though.
Sick motto >>45376732
>>45376770
The Daemon heart itself isn't too bad, but having it make him immortal and a master psyker would be going too far.
It should merely be an augmented daemon heart. Anything else is too much.
>>
>>45376706
Why don't we run with this? Basically this is a chapter on its downward spiral to corruption and the Figure of Legend isn't helping matters.
>>
>>45376803
Nah, keep the Devastators, how else are you going to destroy those with hearts unworthy for the chapter to claim
>>
>>45376812
I still think you so much as touch chaos tainted shit like that and it's only a matter of time until you're getting excommunicated with extreme prejudiced and a fuckload of virus bombs
>>
>>45376829
I say we merge this with
>>45376819
The Chapter's ambition to acquire and augment the hearts of the strong will eventually be their downfall, be it through discovery and excommunication by the Inquisition, or the corruption of ever stronger hearts within their breast.
>>
OK GUYS

LETS CALM DOWN

ok, yes this is PRETTY renegade but thats fine in my opinion, maybe the Inquis constantly screen them, remember the Excorcists LITERALLY have DAEMONS posess initiates

As awesome as Chaplain, Chapter master/Psyker dread wwould be... ok if thats to mary sueish we can make him not immortal, and not a psyker(I still want him as chapter master in a Dread)
>>
>>45376829
If the Silver Skulls are allowed to fuse one of their scout with a Battle Barge, then why can't the Heart Taker claim a foul deamon heart and beat it into submission with his will and devotion
>>
>>45376803
>>45376791
>>45376812


Right. Perhaps our chapter master can sustain himself against the corrupting power of the warp, but only with great and immense agony. His faith in the emperor is the only thing perpetuating his mind, and each passing decade represents another aspect of his personality/memories that is lost. The highly advanced life support systems of a dreadnought are necessary to combat the warp corruption seething through his flesh.

In addition, the gradual, evergrowing rage boiling inside our chapter master has led him to obsess even further over heart taking. It has come to represent the only possible respite from his torment. For although his faith in the Emprah may sustain him, it has not been able to cure him. He obsesses over driving the chapter to seek greater and greater hearts so that they may all grow strong, and he might find relief.
>>
>>45376829
I think the chapter should pretty much be on the verge of being excommunicated.
>>
>>45376866
THIS YES! WE HAVE IT BROOTHERS!! Also we arent actually done rolling...

What unit do we field MORE of? d100

ALSO As for wierd organization

Our chapter command, reclusiam, and Librarium are all merged.

All captains are also either a chaplain or Librarian, and the Chapter master is currently Also the Master of sanctity

If we already augment our hearts then maybe the Tech Priests work with the Chaplains to purify them during augmentation processes.

Perhaps Pector Vendicant? Heart Claimers?
Pector is the spiritual heart.

Our chapter, Founded in early M39 from the Gene Seed of the Ultramarines, founded to stop a prophecised threat to the Imperium. However, the normally stable Ultramarines gene seed had some terrible mutation, the secondary heart was made full of tumours and made worthless. In response, as well as developing their chapter around it, thye began to take the hearts of worthy foes and heavilt augment them with cybernetics, placing them in their breast to replace the heart they lost(in addition Neophytes eat their usesless secondary hearts to become scouts). we developed an extreme cult around these practices, and it only grew worse as time wore on. A few centurys after being founded, the current Master of sanctity tangled with a dreaded Daemon prince, who had killed the chapter master before him. In response, the Master of Sanctity tore out the Daemons heart, ripped open his own chest, and subsumed the heart into himself. Though his extreme piety fought and controlled the heart he alone could not hold it, and so he was placed in an honoured dreadnought sarcophagus to sustain his life. He was declared chapter master in addition to the master of sanctity. The chapter has a unique organsiaton, the Reclusiam, librarium and command are all merged, with every captain also being either a Librarian or Chaplain, they also do not field devastators as the heavy weapons are oft to ruin the hearts of even the strong. They specialize in terror, and every marine has a power fist and chainsword in addition to his bolter, with the terminators of the first company deftly wielding their chainfists.

Currently under strength after a vicious campaign, the chapter has been descending rapidly, as their chapter master must take more and more worthy hearts to consume and stop the pain of the daemon heart pounding in his chest, it has become the only way to sate it. They have no allies, and find the hearts of Orks most commonly stong.

THERE, SUMMARY, tell me if I got anything wrong
>>
>>45377217
Looks fine to me
>>
>>45377217
Purrfect
>>
>>45377217
We need a reason for our chapter master to randomly rip open his own chest and jam a heart in there. What if the previous chapter master went traitor and became THE daemon prince, and the tradition is that the new chapter master always take the old one's primary heart as his secondary?
>>
Ok boys, stay on topic.

First things first, we need a name
>>
>>45377256
I like that.
>>
>>45377256

If he had just waited for the heart to be augmented, it wouldn't have crippled him so.

What we have so far for the rest:

We are the Pector Vendicant; the heart claimers. Our chapter colours are red upon blue.
Our chapter motto:
ONE HEART Of THE PURE! ONE OF THE TAINTIED! WE CARRY BOTH IN OUR BREAST!

is this good for everybody?

I'm thinking something along the lines of this, maybe
>>
>>45377420
I think he is WAY to unhinged by now to consider this, focused ONLY on sateing the Daemon heart in his chest, to stop the constant agony
>>
>>45377420
He keeps sending the chapter into more and more brutal warzones in the hopes of dying, at the cost of many marines' lives.
>>
>>45377456
Yes, but to get stronger hearts, not save his chapter. He is ESSENTIALY accidentally driving his chapter into the hands of Khorne
>>
>>45377430
The Cardinal Knights?
Cardinal means primary or pivotal, like a human needs his heart.
>>45377456
Which is why they're understrength?
>>
>>45377473
That's what I was thinking. I like the name too.
>>
>>45377074
Cor IS the organ, or all my medical education has been for shit.

(it was anyway, but whatever)
>>
The Cardinal Knights/Proctors/ whatevr we name them, are under strenth because chapter master Corazon continuously throws into more and more brutal combat zones, intent on getting ever stronger hearts. This is why they are at about half strength
>>
>>45377473
>>45377494
Cardinal is spot on... we could just go with Cardinal Hearts?

>>45377473
Cardinal Knights is perfect.

Pretty neato periwinkle. I feel like the red arms are a bit much. How are that supposed to show off how bloody their hands are when they rip out hearts?

I think Cardinal Knights, yes, we have our name.

>>45377534
I feel like breast is just going to make people think of boobs. Just chest maybe?
>>
The Iron Hearts, to suggest something easy?
Or even Brass Hearts?

Also what about the slain Daemon Prince being the one who originally corrupted the Gene Seed?
>>
>>45377520
wouldn't chest be better than breast?

>>45377440
>>45377517
I agree. I also think we should invert some of the colors. The trims should be blue, like how veins are blue through the skin.
>>
>>45377517
Away from my computer now someone else will have to fix it
>>
>>45377560
Your a bit behind, and Ithink we already have a name. We decided the prince was their former chapter master
>>
>>45377555
Considering the context, I'd assume people would know which instance of breast is being used.
>>
>>45377560
No, that won't do. We may be a young chapter but that will fuck up half the lore.
>>
>>45377572
SO many chapters than have red as primary though. If the nightlords can have lightning bolts, why don't we have gold veins painted on to show how LOYAL AND PURE we are? Every spehss mahreen needs gold.

Ok, with the name and motto done, and colors being workshopped

since we're just talking colour schemes at the moment heres my take on it, the red/blue would be metallic but you can't get that sort of effect on that program
>>
>>45377877
Well, he already has a heart so he doesn't need to extract any more...
How about some kind of power glaive like on the furioso dreadnoughts so he can slice and dice limbs without damaging their hearts so his battle-brothers can use them if they need?
>>
>>45377877
Perhaps a dreadnaught sized evicerator?
It would be kind of strange to have him hold it, but still... two-handed chain sword.

Yes we should combine them!

I don't think we need to take the heart thing to far to make the color scheme worse, and Ithink the darker stuff looks WAy cooler

>>45378116
I don't think we need to be too literal with the colour scheme, as long as it's red and blue to some degree there's no point fussing over the exact shade

>>45378170
Yea see? I feel like the darker variety just looks better! In the end, the thread ecides, but its my humble opinion

Maybe swap the sides the colours are on to make it more like >>45377150?

i'm the anon who did the darker scheme first, and that brighter variant and I agree with you, I prefer the darker look

On the subject of Custom Chapters/Legions, I had a brilliant idea:

>Vibrant Gardners
>Salamander Renegades that were turned into living multicolored fire within their armor by the energies of a Demon Star.
>Turns out they are actually a Nurglite Warband that symbolizes the fact that death and decay can create something beautiful.
>Anything burned by their flames explodes out of its blackened shell as brilliant multicolored plant-fungi that are utterly lethal and virulent to anyone not blessed by Grandfather Nurgle.
>They have a Cult associated with them called the Cult of the Deadly Bower who, despite being the healthiest Nurgle Cult in existence, grows at an exponential rate due to their sale of 'Healing Draughts' that cure any ailment at cost of 'Your soul belongs to Nurgle now, but if you are good boy he'll reward you by making sure your soul grows into something beautiful in his garden, have fun.'
>Also Beasts of Nurgle love them, they find the Fungi the Marines leave behind delicious, and the members of the Legion and Cult are just really nice to them.

>>45379224

>>
>>45379244
It doesn't, I just thought it was a good idea to talk about it, shows how much I know. I'll just leave now, sorry.
>>
... ooooooooook, moving right along

We should discuss some other important characters, like are there any captains or others worried about the chapters direction? I mean, Corazon has led them for nigh on 3 millenia at this point and they haven't fallen yet... but they are dangerously close. Like, are the common battle brothers acting more like berserkers at this point?

>... ooooooooook
Who let the Jokaero out of his cage? I swear that stupid monkey gets everywhere.

>>45379315
we need a head apothecary.
Maybe he's incredibly old, even by marine standards , probably originally from the Ultramarines, came over when the chapter was formed.
Since he was originally an ultramarine he did have a working second heart, this has long since been replaced by mechanical one of his own creation after very nearly getting killed by some sort of Tyranid.
>>
>>45379315
The Blood Angels and successors probably see their great potential to fall, much like the Flesh Tearers.
>>
>>45379444
This is cool, let's expand on him!

>>45379461
Think they are actively watching the Cardinal Knights? Think they intend to pit them and the flesh teasers against one another? Let the dangerous and possibly soon to be renegades destroy eachother? That could be interesting
>>
>>45379508
>flesh teasers
What do they spend all day taunting guardsmen?
>>
>>45379315
Idea.

Chapter is indeed leaning more towards Berserkers as a result of a lack of true leadership since their Master of Sanctity being in his Sarcophagus for so long. A handful Marine Captains in the chapter have felt this and began to assert themselves as more of a figure head to their troops, essentially taking the role of Master of Sanctity in their minds. Some of the Captains do this simply because they want the power that comes with troops being more loyal to them but others truly are trying to save the chapter from devolving into nothing more than berserker brutes.

Perhaps a few Captains don't like this and want to stay more true to their orignal master. So they're currently in a state where they all still work together but at the same time dealing with the issue of what to do about the chapter.

A character I had in mind was Threld, a Captain who has taken many hearts and is one of the of the ones who is in favor of reforming the chapter in senescence of an active Master of Sanctity.

Thoughts?
>>
>>45379606
I love it! Expand on him! Which company does he lead? Is he a captain/librarian or captain/chaplain? Does he use the powerfist/chainsword combo most marines use? Something else?
>>
>>45379742
not the guy who came up with him but I like the idea of him using a shock maul, or some sort of big weapon thats used for stunning and then he gets all "rip and tear" using his hands maybe.
I see him more of a chaplain than librarian
>>
>>45379884

I'm the guy and I agree that he's more of a Chaplain but he's more renowned with a bloter rifle that melee. He supresses threats to his brothers that charge in with their melee armaments and then when they need him or there are no threats that could counter the melee fighters he jumps int the fray with his melee weapon.

He cares a lot about his brothers and even though he isn't a hulking brute as some other Captains might be he's known to be more tactical and wise in how he engages the enemy. He's a tough guy with slightly more brain than brawn. But just slightly.

>>45379222
Alma Escura, the chapter master that turned into a deamon prince, he'd been leading the chapter for some 3 centuries before he started to hear a voice in his head, telling him to seek out certain hearts, giving him advice that always lead to victory. Little did he know that the voice was in fact a deamon of Khorne, who planned not only to use the chapter to allow him to enter reality once more, but also turn them into his own personal Astartes.

For over 40 years he guided them, pointing Escura in the directions that would benefit him and his lord, and after a while, began to slowly enter into the body of the chapter master, waiting for its moment to emerge, and drinking in the souls of those slain by the chapter.

Not all within the chapter however where convinced of the purity of their goals. Chaplain Corazón in particular, found the battles the chapter fought in to be interesting, and so began to try and find a pattern within their deployments. He noticed certain things in his research.

He noticed how the chapter would go to worlds that didn't seem to need aid, only for them to arrive just in time for them to meet some foe of the Imperium and catch them unawares, leaving them easy pickings for the chapter.

He noticed how, though they did battle with the numerous agents of chaos, very rarely did they face the servants of the Blood God, and when they did, it seemed to be only when others were in need of there aid to finish off the minions of Khorne.

He noticed how their chapter master had grown in combat prowess, how none could match him in the sparring cages, how no foe seemed to be able to do much but slow him down on the field of battle, and how he had recently taken to drinking the blood of his vanquished foes.
>>
>>45380070
He noticed how many times the number eight came up in battle reports, be they numbers of guard regiments they fought beside, the total number of troops they deployed or even the total death toll.

He noticed the patterns the chapters deployments seemed to make, patterns that looked unusual to Corazón.

He saw all these things, things that may just be coincidences, but if the Chaplain knew one thing it was this: coincidences take a lot of planning.

And so he began to seek out other brothers in important posistions who where uneasy about the chapters victories, Epistolary Via, who had felt something prodding at his mind for some time now, Techmarine Cámaras, who had become concerned by the ins ructions he was given regarding the hearts meant for Escura and his closes subordinates, and Chief Apothecary Sangue, the oldest member of the chapter, who was troubled by the refusal of some of their brother to allow their gene-seeds to be tested,and the chapter masters refusal to allow him to force them to submit to testing.

With these members of the chapter wih him Corazón began to find those he deemed loyal to the chapter, and began to plan the downfall of the man he now believed to be in the clutches of Chaos.

Great idea. It would be awesome to have achapter of Chaos Marines that have been mutated/empowered by Deamon hearts. Or maybe they don't turn into chaos space marines but are viewed as slightly heretical by other chapters.

Threald Grislom, Chaplain Captain of the Cardinal Knights 4th company "The War Hearts". In these difficult times of being without an active Master of Sanctity many of the companies have began to devolve into berserker tactics in order to satisfy their bloodlust and take more hearts from worthy enemies, while some have found success with this other companies have began to suffer more casualties than usual in their pursuit of powerful hearts. The original Captain of the 4th company, Librarian Captain Solomar Caldius, led the company through many pursuits of powerful Ork hearts. During one of his crusades against an Ork colony the company was ambushed and flanked from the south by a squad of Ork meks. Rather than attempting to destroy the meks Captain Solomar saw opportunity to conquer yet another powerful Ork hearts. He rallied many of the marines near him and sent them with him on a zealous charge on the largest mek in the Ork squad. Threld, serving as his company's Champion at the time. Was left to defend him and his marine brothers against the flank to the north. It was a savage fight , suffering many casualties as they were outnumbered by the Ork shootas . Threld and the surviving marines regrouped and looked to the south to see that Captain Solomar and the men he led in the charge had either been killed or broken ranks. The Ork Mekz now had no other target than Threld and his men. As they approached it was clear that the Orkz hadn’t come out of the battle undamaged, many of their squads lacked men and their meks showed signs of damage. As the largest Ork Mek approached Threld could see Solomar’s body hanging from a piece of metal on the Mek. Faced with this threat Threld acted quickly, leaving no time for his marine brothers to panic he began ordering them into positions and to prepare to defend to the last man.
>>
>>45381763
The Ork horde approached and he shouted to his brothers “Hold! Remember! Their flesh is weak! They merely shell themselves with metal, but our hearts beat with it! They may have warmachines, but remember brothers we have the purity of the machine WITHIN US! TRUST IN YOUR MECHANICAL BEATING AND IT WILL NEVER FALTER!” The ensuing fight was carnage, the Ork infantry never seemed to thin as the Cardinal Knights fired at them with their bolter pistols. Eventually Time had run out and the Orkz were in charging range. Threld stood in the middle of his men as they met the Ork stampede, their powerfists and chainswords plunging into green flesh. Threld stood amongst his men and covered the front lines with Bolter Rifle fire. The battle required many tactical fallbacks and regrouping but by the end only a handful of Ork stragglers remained. Most of the company had been defeated in the fight but the most hardened of the men still stood. Threld looked around the dead Marines, and then to the dead Captain’s body. He walked over to it and with his powerfist extracted Solomar Caldius’ original heart. In that moment Threld despised the man for destroying the company, but he knew that Solomar was regardless a great warrior and had taken many hearts in the field. Threld was made Chaplain Captain since he was the highest ranked survivor and put Solomar’s heart in his chest, as a way to honor the Company's past.
>>
>>45381804
Once he was officially the leader of company he learned just how widespread the devolution of the Chapter was. Many Companies daily losses were in the hundreds or thousands. Threld decided he would be apart of the reformation to save the chapter from wiping itself out with ineffective and overzealous tactics. He was one of the first Captains to begin asserting himself to his company as their true commanding officer, in order to build morale and a better company attitude. Quickly he took the 4th company from zealous suicidal berserkers to well disciplined disciples of the machine. He appointed much of his command squad from the survivors of Solomar’s defeat and titled the “The Black Hearts” each of his command squad is trained to hold ranks among the mean and act as sub captains during battle.

Unbeknownst to Corazón however, the deamon's plan was reaching its endgame. Alma Escura announced a great celebration was to be had to commemorate 48 years of glorious victoris. Each side, unknowingly, had were planning to reveal their hands at this gathering.

At the hight of festival, Escura stood to make a speech. He spoke of the battles they had fought, the hearts they had taken, and the glories they had won, most of them alone. Alone, he spoke, because that was how the chapter was best, away from the Imperial Guard, away from other Space Marines, away from the Imperium entirely. And what thanks, he asked, had they gotten for these acts. None. Sure, the world's they battled on where grateful, but what could they offer ones as strong as they where, what could anyone in the Imperium offer them, really? The Imperium was dying, and why should they fight for the losing side, when their were other causes they could serve, with masters that would have greater rewards, gifts fitting of warriors of their standards. It was then that Corazón spoke up.
>>
>>45381999
I vote directly. More pure and devout disciples that way.

>>45382026
He stood and questioned who Escura masters where, what these gifts they could give them where, and just how he came to know of them. When no awnser came, he pushed onwards, throwing all the evidence he had gathered in his eight years of research out into the open. He demanded that Alma Escura awnser him one question, why did he secretly collect the skulls of his enemies? Corazón declared there was only one reason he would do so, that he served the Chaos God Khorne. The Chaplain decried that the chapter master of the Cardinal Knights was a heretic, a traitor and a willing deamonhost. He gave the assembled marines an ultimatum; stand with this villian and sell their souls to Chaos, or side with him and strike down this traitor to the chapter and The Imperium. The response was instantaneous.
Brother turned on brother as the feasting hall desensitise into anarchy. What struck Corazón was the number who fought in his favour out-weighted thode who turned the back on all they had stood for. Seeing what he had caused, the Chaplain raised his Crozius and charged his former chapter master. But the deamon, fearing it's host would perish here, choose this moment to ascend. Though their spirits may have merged long ago, it was only now that they fused in body. The traitor's form warped and twisted into a Champion of Khorne, a form Escura felt could finally allow him to feast on all the blood and hearts he could want. But Corazón would not allow this heresy to continue.

Though a lesser man may have balked at the sight of this beast, the Chaplain was consumed with a fervour unlike any other. Though the deamon was far stronger, it was still in a new body, and this was an advantage that could be used. The battle only lasted minuets, but it felt longer to Corazón, who pushed his body beyond what even he though he was capable of as he duel with this beast of the Blood God.

Finally the creature grabbed him, crushing his torso as it did, and lifted him into the air. The thing laughed, and said that the Chaplain had picked the wrong side, that he should have sided with Chaos, and how he was fighting for a dead master in a dying empire. And it was in this moment of gloating that Corazón struck.

Activating the device that Via and Cámaras had created, he watched as the former chapter master stagger back, brought low by the null-field projector they had created. Broken, with both hearts punctured, Corazón knew what he had to do. He got to his feet staggered over to the deamon, and plunged his power fist into the foul creatures chest, ripping out the things still beating heart. He took the organ, ripped it free from the tubes connecting it to Escura body and with his other hand, struck the beast with his Crozius in the head, killing the weaken creature as the null-field had sapped most of its strength. Now can the tricky part.

Taking his weapon he cut a great rip in his chest and force the demonic organ in to the hole it created, knowing that with both his hearts ruptured, he had moments to live otherwise.

The heart seemed to squeeze itself into the hole, as though eager to take hold of the Chaplain. With his foe slain and his prize taken, Puro Corazón allowed himself to fall into the blackness of unconsciousness.

Fuck that took longer than expected, sorry for anyone who cared about this.

maybe even though it's a civilized world there are still nomads/tribals out in the tundra. Once every X years the marines drop in during the night and take most of the children as potential recruits and/or new chapter serfs. It's not uncommon for these tribes to be wiped out by this, as a result they really hate the long nights in the winter(well more wintery) none of the abducted are heard from again by their families.
>>
>>45382104
Excellent flavor. And what if occasionally one of the tribes (Or a few of them working together) try to mount an attack. This is seen a great opportunity to harvest hearts from powerful enemies as the tribals would have to be pretty strong/brave to event consider attacking the Marines but also weak enough that they're not a true threat.

"Oh my the nomads are getting rowdy again, send out the neophytes, this will be good practice for them."
I can see something like that happening

"Bring their children and the hearts of their warriors."

this is fucking amazing guys keep on going

Is there anything else to establish aside from fluff characters and whatnot? We should decide on at least a vague timeline.
>>
>>45382849
Good idea, what date EXACTLY were we founded?
>>
The Cardinal Knights are now a part of my Dark Heresy setting, and will be subjected to an inquest at the hands of my acolytes.
>>
>>45382873
39th millennium due to the use of prophecy or something is what we rolled.
>>
>>45382896
PLEASE! POST THE RESULTS! I want to see how this turns out
>>
>>45382912
Anyone want to expand on the prophecy that brought the Cardinal Knights into being?
>>
>>45382920
I'm kind of anxious, as it's our first session assembled of random fa/tg/uys, and two of them are new to the system and 40k lore. Running them for our first game is probably a really bad idea.
>>
>>45382961
For the new people just make sure they understand that there is no "good" guys, only those who are evil fascist and genocidal, and those who are even worse.
>>
>>45382939
So according to my rough outline we have

>Founded in 39th Millennium

>Original Chapter Master, Alma Escura, took the heart of a Daemon cause he wanted more power faster which is what caused his downfall >>45377298

>Chaplain Captain Corazón defeats him using a device constructed by Via and Cámaras and puts the demon heart in himself >>45382073

>Corazón becomes the new Chapter Master and gains title "Heart Taker" and either immediately is put into the Sarcophagus or after his state deteriorates

>Chapter begins devolving into overly zealous berserkers that get themselves killed.

>Eventually certain Captains begin reforming their companies using themselves as a more active leader over the Master of Sanctity. Some do this because they want to save the chapter other want more loyal marines for personal gain. Some more fundamentalists marines don't like this and want to only recognize the chapter master.

The rest that has been typed out is fluff

Not well versed enough in the lore to write the prophecy

Ashardalon, located in the Segmentum Ultima near rhe Dominion of Storms, is a civilized ice planet.

Prior to it's rediscovery in M36 the people of Ashardalon were split between the barbaric nomad tribes and the city folk, who possessed technology on a level similar to late M2 Terra.
All of the planet's cities were situated around Ashardalon's equator, as only there could the planet's temperature be considered pleasant. The tribesmen had learned to deal with the lower temperatures and roamed the planet's tundras a glaciers.
To this day there is great distrust between the citydwellers and the nomadic tribes, with the civilized Imperial citizens believing the barbarians to be 'impure' and with the nomads believing the city folk to be foul sorcerers.

After their planet's rediscovery, life for the city folk has been relatively comfortable for the 41st millenium. They are not very likely to be eaten by a verocious predator of die from an infection. For the barbarians not much changed.
The civilized people had no interest in sharing their newfound tech with what they percieved to be brutal savages.and thus the barbarians stick to their nomadic ways.

While the exact culture of the tribes is different from one to the next, certain beliefs are held by almost all. Even with their rudimentary understanding of the human body, they understand the importance of the heart.
It pumps blood through their body and it is the heart that makes sure their bodies don't freeze. As such, a lot of the tribals' religious ceremonies involve the drinking and bathing in blood as well as the eating or stabbing of hearts, both human and beast.
>>
>>45383474
When the prophecies leading up to the founding of the chapter were done and a homeworld for the new chapter was chosen, it quickly became obvious the the citydwellers would not provide the appropriate neophytes requires to create proper Astartes.
Yet the Imperial citizens would not knowingly except the elevation of the barbarians into the ranks of the Astartes. As such, the recruitment process is largely done in secret.

Singular marines are sent out into the cold wastelands. There they observe hunters and warriors, looking for the strongest tribes. Then speak to the tribes' leaders, stirring up feelings of anger and displeasure,manipulating the tribes into sending their warriors to attack the cities.
While the attacks are always stopped before they deal significant damage, those barbarian warriors that are deemed worthy are then taken by the Cardinal Knights to become Space Marines.

Sounds good. Just be sure to include the marines come in the night to kidnap tribals evry so often.
