I have a question about Primaris Sucessors and Inner Circle information.
Im not versed on how the new Primaris Sucessor Chapters work within the Unforgiven.
Are they given the information about the Fallen? (Now Risen some of them?)
How does it work for an Ultima Founding Chapter? Are they brought into the fold, given information? Are they seen with suspicion and kept at arms lenght?
I have noticed a concerted effort across several Warhammer 40k subs to slander and destroy the reputation of our beloved Chapter. We must stand vigilant and do not allow heretic scum to proliferate amongst our Crusade.
Do not Tolerate the Intolerant Brothers, and stand as Beacon to other Hobby enjoyers, as the God Emperor is a Beacon to our Fleets.
The Crusade is Eternal! No Pity, No Remorse, No Fear.
The Harbingers of Sorrow are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of Primaris Marines created during the Ultima Founding (ca. 999.M41) from the noble but cursed genetic seed of the Blood Angels. They are so named for their ruthless methods of war.
Chapter Master; Lord Dominion Lourenço
Homeworld
* Velicus: An ocean-covered world with sprawling, ancient port cities built into coastal cliffs. The climate is rarely overcast but it is prone to heavy mists and sudden violent storms. The people are hardy, seafarers and traders, with a deep respect for both the bountiful and destructive power of the sea. Their culture is rich in maritime tradition and stoic endurance in the face of hardship. The architecture features intricate stonework, painted tiles and grand but often somber cathedrals and monuments overlooking the fierce oceans.
The populace is deeply religious, fervent followers of the Imperial Cult of Sanguinius Martyr, favoured Son of the Benificient Emperor, which sacrifice allowed the Master of Mankind to strike down the Arch-Enemy.
For the people of Velicus, Sanguinala is more than a celebration, it a layered expression of belief and gratitude.
Bright flowers, glowing string lights, and Blood Cross flags display hung across streets and seaside bays.
For them Sanguinala is not just about death and sacrifice but also about resilience, faith and continuity.
Combat Doctrine
Adherence to the Codex Astartes in terms of organization and battlefield procedures*
* Favour shock assault and close air-support tactics, and are used to performing drop assaults and boarding actions.
Geneseed
The Flaw is present but with low incidence of the Black Rage.
* Brothers that fall to the Black Rage are put in stasis until the time for conflict predictably arrives. They are solemn equipped with golden armour and black wings, as they have the honour and curse of reliving their primarch last moments. Only one is deployed per battle and in their last singular honor, they soar through the battlefield and engage the champions and leaders of the enemy, every single one in their eyes, a shard of Horus the betrayer.
They are known as the "Shade of Sanguinius"
Motto
"When Darkness falls, We Soar"
Chapter History
The chapter was given tithe of Velicus a civilized planet on Segmentum Pacificus, to help reinforce the sector against heresy and the emerging threat of the Tyranids on the sector.
Home to around to 250 million people, it was, until the arrival of the Harbingers of Sorrow, a trivial planet with nothing of note about it.
The population is profoundly religious and took the arrival of the Emperors Angels of Death as a sign of being chosen by the God Emperor Himself, and as such it is with a humble pride they send their sons as tithe to the chapter.
Still familiar bonds are strong and it's not with fanfare but with mourning that this is celebrated, as the hunger of war is forever unsated.
Recruitment
The chapter keeps chapels on the main continents, serving as recruiting grounds and places of worship, altough one particular chapel serves the opposite purpose...
On desolate island it stands alone, grim and foreboding, an ill omen to even mention its name, for those who go in are never seen again. Those who have commited unforgivable crimes are abandoned there and forgotten, their fate forever a mystery.
Chapter Monastery
The chapter spiritual and operational center is a heavily fortified orbital monastery built on an asteroid called " Arx Lacrima " it features powerful void shields and an armed orbital ring, on a synchronous orbit with the planet.
The Flaw
At its inception and for a few initial decades the chapter battle brothers did not manifest the "flaw of Sanguinious", but eventually the curse of the primarch surfaced.
The chapter Chaplains, know as Wardens, keep constant vigil of their chapter brethren, and are responsible for identifying the signs that a warrior of the chapter is about to succumb.
Those who fall are surrendered into the care of the Reclusiam and put into stasis until the time for battle is nigh.
Unlike other chapters, they are not formed into Death Company squads, but given the singular honor of doning the Black Wings.
They are Sanguinious Wrath given form. Clad with Golden Power Armour, an Encarmine Blade and the bespoke winged jump pack, they take to the battlefield and are unleashed upon the enemy, an almost unstoppable force of nature, an echo of the fury of the lost primarch.
This is know as the "Somber Fate".
Chapter Culture
The Harbingers of Sorrow are fanatically devoted to the Emperor and Primarch.
Sanguinious the Martyr, is their fate made manifest, and the exemplar they strive to achieve, only in death does their duty ends.
Before battle the chapter congregates in what's known as the Vigil of Mourning, where the Chaplains and Librarians lead melancholic and soulful prayers. These vigils are meant to acknowledge and perhaps temporarily contain the darker aspects of their geneseed.
At the end of the Vigil, a drink known as Sangria, is shared between the brothers of the chapter.
Organization
The Harbingers of Sorrow closely follow codex standards. The chain of command within the Chapter is highly authoritarian, and all orders given by a superior are to be obeyed without question. Lieutenants are known as Commanders, Captains are called Dominion, and the Chapter Master is known as the Lord Dominion.
The elite of the chapter veterans are organised as the Angels Tears, serving as honor guard for the command of the chapter.
One particular idiosyncracie of the chapter is the refusal to use jump packs, a distinction reserved for the victims of the primarch curse.
It is unknown what led to this decision, despite what rumours and conjecture say.
Due to this, they do not field Sanguinary Guard.
SEAF has some swet camo drip depending on the Biome. Can the Helldivers have the same optiong for their default armor?
Playing as Marine, no Sprint, no Shield, no Radar, on Heroic feels like a whole different game. a Single Elite becomes deadly threat.
I am trembleling with rage! This slop is the 40k warbond everybody is hyping? I hate the kaskin armor colour they should have use my AMAZING colour scheme. Not to mention why didnt we have krieg armor? We had literally 0 clues of what armor they would make! Unbelivable! Also the other amor is not even from warhammer!
And the yellow laser? Dont get me started on that. I played dawn of war and the laser was red! RED! HOW DARE THEY USE YELLOW LASER!
This is the worst thing ever and as a top 1% commenter ill be sure to let everyone know how important my opinion is and of you dont agree how does bot tastes glazers?
Unbelievable.
Anyone have images of the New Hero skins? Whats new for Portugal?
Also the Celestial Lions are using the Blade of the Seventh Son, gifted to them by the Black Templars.
Just read during my holidays. Quite a nice read, better than i expected. I hope Steven Fischer writes a few more BT books.
