Custom successor chapters allowed?

I've been building up the background on this one for years, and its reaching maturity.

My custom chapter is the Astral Sables. A successor of an unknown chapter, they are Scions of Mars and were favoured greatly initially. The predominant chapter demeanour is that of fixing, improvising and patching up things. They are incredibly good at fixing things (Trade: Technomat), even if they have never encountered them before and are given minimal time. They can jury-rig almost any equipment and sometimes skirting the boarders of heresy, however they always seem to stay on the right side of things, it seems odd then, that the Priests of Mars would invest in such a chapter. The true reasons for this ability will become clear in time though it is quite different from the artisanry of the Salamanders or the Architecture of the Iron Warriors. It seems to be the ability to make the best of a bad situation.

One of the chapter flaws of the Astral Sables that comes to the fore is that they are quite aware they are more than human. They see a divide between themselves and the rest of humanity. Quizzically though, their nomadic fleet makes wide use of human auxiliaries, more so than other chapters. Their chapter serfs resemble something more like imperial guardsman and are given the duty of carrying ammunition and logistical support supply chains, something which is beneath any of the Emperors Sons. Though failed marine aspirants are not permitted to live. Failing the process of becoming a marine is seen as a bad omen. The chapter typically suffers from a high rate of geneseed impurity, as many as 30% of the marines have inactive organs, though not always the same ones. The reasons for these flaws are under constant investigation by the chapters Genetors and Gene-Crafter cadres, though as soon as a fix is found for one flaw, pushed back into place, it seems as though another comes loose somewhere else. Thus they are constantly chasing the flaws around their system. The chapters leadership is growing more and more cold towards the Mechanicum of Mars and indifferent to their calls for help over time.

The Primaris in question has yet to know any of this, in fact Aiden Hansel knows very little of the fate of the chapter who birthed him as they are trapped on the other side of the Cicatrix Maledictum, their fate remains unknown. When given the option he naturally gravitated towards the role of being a Kill marine and going on a vast sometimes directionless journey vanquishing terrors throughout the galaxy. He first journeyed away from his squad on the Imperial Navy wolfpack under Commodore Henrick Cromwell. The quarters were cramped for the little men, but he nevertheless found an aptitude for confined engagements, becoming adept at the definitive close quarters room to room clearing which his chapter is best known for. He also was trained extensively in observation by the Imperial Navy specialists. Gaining along the way personal tutoring by Henrick in the art of calling in artillery barrages with devastating accuracy. Aiden became well versed in all of the munitions of the naval weapons which he could call down upon the enemy, from the smallest shell to the largest Marcrocannon. He also learnt many languages, local vernaculars and sub cultures as the ships stopped off, seemingly able to preternaturally absorb them all like a sponge.

His chapter makes wide use of combi-weapons almost redefining the term as each marine instantly begins working on a combi-modification of his standard bolter as soon as able. Even making use of specialised and more rarer combi-weapons, such as the bolter-heavy stubber or bolter-lascutter. However their most favoured being the astarties grenade launcher. Aidens standard equipment is that of an Intercessor with auto-boltrifle. However small changes are visible all over the armour, including a few loose wires protruding from beneath panels.

(Hope thats an interesting taster.)


5.) Vietnam war era duel between two veterans in the wreckage of a burning village. Vietnam era weapons only.
Do you still need the accurate details on the Summerwind holdings or is this enough?

What level of accuracy do you require? Because i have to scale it to the other players and i dont know how many ships i need.

If you need the specific details of the construction of summerwind ships, most of summerwind culture and equipment will be filled in as it becomes relevant to the story. The ships are similar to viking ships, some of which are built for war out of thick wood and still more are cheaply produced trading ships that are retrofitted for war with shields and pikes. Due to the skill of the Salts Shipwright they are very fast in water. Maybe not the most or the only ones, but still very fast.

The animal on the Summerwind noble crest is a Sable, rendered in sable, Sejant on a field of turquoise blue.
Marriage Ties:

Convel and Spedan are both unmarried.

Scions of House Summerwind:


Sister: Spedan Summerwind.
Convels only sibling is his twin sister Spedan. Spedan administrates the clan holdings of its capital city of Salts. She is an avid collector of numbers about her holdings and can usually furnish Convel with some complicated statistical reason for something that she needs him to do. Of which he is obliged to as he must answer to the clan elders and the town eldars, who are usually on her side.

Cousin: Willis Summerwind.
Willis is a young man of only 20 and is the Supreme Commander of the Clan Summerwind fort at Port Pragma. Since an early age he showed interest in all things militaristic. His persueal of the military arts is veracious, so veracious that he has very few friends and no place in any noble court. He has never bothered to attend military college, instead preferring his own reading and travelling to unlikely places for reasons often only he knows. Though on the face of it he seems likely he is a very gifted military historian with an excellent memory. His time and life is entirely devoted to improving the military forces under his command and whenever Convel is in port he is only too ready to provide him with another one of his 'lists', of things he needs to further improve the military, and is happy to explain all of them if anyone could stand to listen to him yammer on about the military for more than 15 minutes. He also has a very large personal book collection at the top of his fortress, where his personal home is.

Uncle: Martyn Summerwind.
Younger brother to Convels father, Henrick and the chieftainship of clan Summerwind that passed to Convel upon the death of his father at sea. Martin is a professional warrior for hire, rider and a sailor of the highest horder. He may be older now but he is still as healthy as a clydesdale. His love of mead and the scrumball game have kept him somewhat out of politics. In truth this is a alliance of convenience for him. Not that anyone could make him do anything he didnt want to do ofcourse. However dont let any of this fool you, he is extremely intellegent and has a large personal library at the Summerwind estate in Salts.

Tutor: Sir Terrence Glywysing "Just refered to as Sir Terrence."
When Convel was young he had tutors selected by the discerning eye and vast experience of his late father. One of which was Sir Terence. Journeying the long distance from the other side of Cobsterra. A native of Tra, Sir Terence's grandfather had been knighted for his actions of valour and clear thinking in a battle in the Tra plains. During the battle the authority of the Crown was usurped by a noble house now buried.

Terrence is the third generation of a somewhat poor knight line. He had served in the long battle and had journeyed all over Cobsterra as part of the kings army, with little coin he had to survive in all kinds of climates and sample, aswell as survive and triumph in many cultures and cities not known to him. After the battle was finished Sir Terence returned to his orchard to once again sew, plant and graft for the next season. His Knighthood came with little endowment besides the land and he thought it more of a funny story for down the pub. Then one day Henrick Summerwind himself had stood at his door. With the preternatural ability to size a man up by eye, he offered him a healthy salary in exchange for teaching his skills to the young Scion Convel. Sir Terrence accepted.

Terrence and Convel soon became closest friends. Convel looked up to him, as Terrence imparted more than knightly skills to him, but some measure of his cheerful soul, his ability to remain in good spirits no matter the situation. Hewn from a lifetimes of having to worry just to survive in wild Tra, Sir Terrence had simply decided to be happy. He has passed now and his bones returned to the orchard. But he cast a great shadow in Convels life, the full extent of which has yet to become known.

The chapter organisation is built up of the individual companies, which I've left up to be defined by you. You may define things that are within your own company, but there are a few things that are outside of it that you can define, such as the 2 chapter identity details for starters.
