Heresy is a slippery slope. What one discounts as a minor sin soon grows beyond the scope of what is acceptable.

Roll a d100 for our progenitor.

We are descended from the scions of the Khan of Mundus Planus. Once proud servants of the false Emperor, now part of something greater.

Roll a d10 for how we feel about the ruinous powers.

>Loathed.

In this moment, we are euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because we are enlightened by our intelligence.

Roll a d100 for our beliefs. We may reroll if it goes contrary to our hatred of any and all gods.

We are consummate manipulators, using others for our own goals and casting them aside at a moment's notice.

Roll a d10 for our combat doctrine.

>>54505194
That's warp twisted anon. The next table down.

>>54505208
Ah shit, you're right. That makes a lot more sense, thanks for pointing that out.

As before, roll a d10 for combat doctrine.

Whether inherited or pilfered, we make use of relics of a bygone age. May their bite be fierce, for our rivals seek nothing more than our utter destruction.

Rolled 3 (1d10)

Does anyone know what that website is that people use to generate color schemes?

>>54506046
thats badass

>>54504740
One in a hundred

>>54506176
This is bait. Do not let it derail the thread.

>>54506078
I was thinking Scythian or Androphagi marines, because of the horse nomad flavor from White Scars, who develop a particular taste for daemons and chaos tainted flesh.

>>54506245
Or just psykers/the warp in general. Given their enmity with Eldar.

>>54505994
>ancient weaponry
Jetbikes?

>>54506245
You think we would eat them though?

First off, I think we need to decide what our name was before we turned traitor and what heretical practices we did.

>>54506457
Cannibalism maybe (i know marines eat brains anyway) specifically other marines.
As for a name maybe Scions of the Storm (Storm lords successors maybe?)

>>54506649
Maybe they stole gene-seed from other chapters they fought alongside when they were doing poorly on numbers?

>>54506841
why not both? steal geneseed then eat the evidence

>>54506848
I like it.

>>54506649

>>54506848
They'd regularly kill, and eat, psykers who they felt were weak or potentially unsuited to withstanding the temptations of the Ruinous Powers. By eating their corpses, the marines believed that they could learn the myriad ways in which Chaos could lead a man to his destruction. That alone was censure-worthy, but when combined with enmity from the Navigator Houses and Adeptus Astra Telepathica over their proclivities during the Siege of Baleton's Calm and their unorthodox modification and usage of Librarians they were ordered one hundred years of penitent crusades, restricted from creating new marines until finished. After discovering that they not only hid geneseed from Imperial authorities but also pillaged geneseed from the corpses of fellow chapters they were declared Excommunicate Traitoris.

>The first time had been an accident. And the few to follow, but by the time legend became tradition, they were too far gone for redemption.

>It all started on Kâorn, a land stripped of life, replaced by the crushing industry of chaos. The Chapter had tracked an insidious Warpsmith sorcerer to the planet, leaving a trail of wailing slaves. The marines descended upon the planet like diving hawks, shredding the traitors asunder leaving nothing but carnage in their wake.

>The sorcerous forge master was chased up a mighty factorum spire, where he did duel with the chapter champions. Ravaged by the warp overtaking him, infusing him with arcane, unfathomable power, the smith slew many champions, but one struck the final blow with his bare hands, knocking the creature's helmet away and tearing away at his throat with his teeth. It was instinctual, primal, desperate. Whether by design or chance, the flesh and blood of the sorceror slid down the champion's throat, his visage encarmine as he cast his adversary's body from the spire top.

>Again and once more the champion was pitted against impossible odds, his armament failing him, either lost or destroyed. And each time he struck down his enemies bare handed, and tore into their flesh as a desperate last resort, a gruesome but assured killing blow.

>Legend became tradition, and the mightiest foes of a battlefield would be offered up to the Emperor before the most dogged warriors of the chapter would feast upon their enemy, both to make their adversaries' strength their own and cleanse the taint from their fallen through ritual and prayer.

>It did not take long for the seeds of corruption to take root, but it would take many more years for them to bear fruit. A change of the flesh and spirit began to creep over the chapter, those who are the flesh of fallen traitors saw their skin toughen, their muscles expand at horrifically painful paces. Some found themselves lost to shadow, their blackened souls reaching out of their twisting corporeal forms. The changes were vast and varied, the supply of genestock becoming worryingly low.

For some, the change transcended the physical, their spirits and minds twisting, becoming singularly focused on vanishing Chaos.

We wendigo marines now? I do like the idea of marines eating too much warp tainted meat and just turning into spindly limbed clawed monstrosities which are then collected up and launched at their enemies in battle.

I think it would go from getting musclefat mode, then as you reach peak musclefat you begin to wither into a lanky beast as your warp flesh addiction out paces you're ability to eat it

What's that website that people use to get random color schemes?

>>54509408
I think it was a sight that just gave you random colors though

I like the rip and tear aspects but as of now I don't think there's a lot to keep them from going full chaos. Eating tainted flesh is pretty corruptive, even for aastartes.

>>54509473
Maybe they're low key Malalite/Malice? Or they are being jerked around by the Four as a neutral pawn in the great game, an executioner for unworthy servants.

Basically, they are chaos, but they don't know it.

>>54509580
sounds reasonable, I vaugely remember hearing that Sons of Malice practice canabalizm too so there is that Malal connection

I'm not a huge fan of Malal stuff, but I like the idea that they're being influenced by the ruinous powers without realizing it.

What would their chapter colors be? Both pre and post becoming traitors.

I'm picturing some generic rip-and-tear red, but that seems more like a Khorne thing.

Maybe start with some sort of red/blue combo that encorporated more red after their fall?

I like it.

>>54518153
Maybe they start like this

>>54519553
Then after the fall the red spreads like this?

Maybe some sort of mutations or stars across the chest where the sections intersect?
