Space Marine chapter creation thread

Many tomes and dataslates have been lost by the Adeptus Administratum over the years, one of these includes a space marine chapter. Our mission is to fill the gaps and restore the tome to it's glory!

>First roll: Why Was The Chapter Founded? (d10)

Rolled 4 (1d10)

Let's find out.

Strategic Prognostication - "Our tarot cards say there's going to be a threat here, maybe. Found a Chapter!"

Ok, good start so far, let's keep on going.

>When Was The Chapter Founded? (d100)

Rolled 35 (1d100)

36th Millennium (Cursed Founding, this Chapter be fucked)

fugg :D:D:D:D

Next roll:
>Who was the Chapter's Progenitor? (d100)

Rolled 15 (1d100)

Ultra Marines

BAHTTLE BROTHAS!

>Gene-seed purity (d10)

Rolled 1 (1d10)

Rolled 10 (1d10)

boo

Ok. So we either got SUPER PURE or SUPER FLAWED!
Should I roll a d2 to see which one we use?

Cuh-learly we're both, half the chapter has just gone to hell. A d2 sounds fine, though.

I vote both. We appear super PURE, and do well to maintain this appearance, but underneath we conceal a terrible flaw!

Or something. It'd be fitting for a the most "pure" Cursed Founding chapter to have some secret, hideous flaw.

Rolled 1 (1d2)

I will roll a d2 for now

Ok so we are pure

Moving on

>Chapter Demeanour (d10)

...

Rolled 1 (1d10)

Pure. But let's do supplemental rolls later if we decide to try and incorporate the flaws.

Move on and we'll flesh it out after the recap.

Rolled 4 (1d10)

Swift As The Wind - Going slowly and thinking things out? *BLAM* No.

We fast'n'sheeit

And since we rolled on pure we don't need to roll on the flaws and mutations tables

>Figure of Legend (d100)

Rolled 52 (1d100)

Rolled 51 (1d100)

Chief Librarian

Our Chief Librarian was our hero, now what bas ass thing did he do, (d100)

Rolled 84 (1d100)

Rolled 26 (1d100)

The figure led an action against an Eldar craftworld, boarding it and inflicting grievous casualties before withdrawing.
He and his Chapter are especially hated by the pernicious Eldar, for whom the event is still fresh and raw.

We are more swift than some pansy as Xenos
>And so they went to war

Chapter homeworld (d100)

Rolled 8 (1d100)

Rolled 8 (1d100)

What are the odds!

Hive World

>Terrain (d100)

Rolled 86 (1d100)

Rolled 76 (1d100)

>And since we rolled on pure we don't need to roll on the flaws and mutations tables

But it's FUN!

Airless Hive world
Spoopy

>Rule of homeworld (d10)

I'm good at color schemes and lore / identity

I could help if you want

>these 8s
KHORNATE CORRUPTION DETECTED

Rolled 2 (1d10)

You'd be a welcome addition to the thread. Let's finish and recap before we start thinking up stuff, though.

Stewardship - "Hi, Planetary Governor? It's me, the Chapter Master. Just calling you to remind you that I outrank you, even if I don't do anything."

>Chapter organisation (d10)
Make this one good now Anons

Rolled 1 (1d10)

I dont know how to roll dice but I'll be around for the threads

Rolled 7 (1d10)

I'm the same way.

Type "dice+[how many dice you want to roll]d[however many sides the dice has]" into the options field.

dice+xdy in the options tab

Codex-adherant

Well, expected by the ultramarines

>Combat doctrine (d10)

The sticky also tells you.

...

Rolled 2 (1d10)

Rolled 9 (1d10)

Ranged Combat

Pew pew

>What form do the Chapters' beliefs take? (d100)

Rolled 31 (1d100)

Rolled 85 (1d100)

typical Ultra-smurf

Do you guys want
Revere the Primarch

or

Totem creature

Totem Creature. Girlyman is cool, but not as interesting.

Rolled 1 (1d2)

>Spiritual Liege
-or-
>WOLFWOLFWOLF

... choices.

I'll vote with a dice roll.

Fuck the spiritual liege, Totem Creature

Totem Creature seems a little gimmicky.

Seems like totem creature wins
>You know how we've got a hawk as our Chapter symbol? Yeah, we're going to stick that everywhere

At what strength is the Chapter? (d10)

Rolled 3 (1d10)

How about a hybrid belief system? The Totem animal represents our Primarch? We can figure out what it is later.

Under Strength: The Chapter is recovering from a defeat or accident that occurred several decades ago, or has recently suffered heavy, but not irrecoverable losses. It is probably at a minimum of half strength, and should return to nominal strength within a decade.

>Who are your Chapter friendly with? (d100)

Rolled 1 (1d100)

Administratum

Hey four eyes! Have your written down our 4325th victory yet!

>Administratum

Well, we're fine when it comes to our tax returns.

ok, enemies d100

A totem creature can also be an icon unrelated to an animal, mind you

My own chapter uses an icon representing the red star of their homeworld before it was destroyed.

No matter how gimmicky, it can always be worked around to make it believable and feasible

Rolled 18 (1d100)

This could be interesting.

Remember the administratum hold incredible power and that Goge Vandire was drom the administratum

Makes sense. A Totem in general rather than a Totem as only a creature.

Similarly, my own chapter uses a stylized Sol as theirs.

Without the quotes.

fight

Being friends with them also means we probably have a good supply of high quality gear.

Orks!

ok, that was the enitre table.
I do have the chaper name tables from the DW RPG here if you guys want to roll up a name?

Or get the best missions. Like a reverse Lamentors. Maybe we're the Lucky Marines.

It would help us find our totem creature/symbol at least.

We can probably make one up better, but let's roll and see what we get anyway, and discount it if it's stupid.

Alright

I think the chapter has to have an indirect allusion to the Clinton / Trump election, maybe in the name maybe in its history

Just because it was created at the same time the election was happening

Well not a lot of things live on an airless hive world. The lack of atmosphere would make Stars and similar stuff a logical choice.

Rolled 51 (1d100)

Might be neat if we contrasted it with a geneseed flaw roll.

...

Rolled 61 (1d100)

>Mailed.

Name Idea: Knights of the Obsidian Sky. With the lights of the hives making it hard to see the stars, so darkness or an empty sky is own totem.

dice+[1]d[100]

Not necessarily, there could be wacky space versions of more common animals. Like the ship parasites in Star Wars.

>Mailed Scorpions.

What about landmarks? Maybe we can have those as totem symbols as well?

Mailed Marauders seems like a top notch Khorne warband name

Rolled 51, 38 = 89 (2d100)

Rollin just to see what I get

Rolled 26, 89 = 115 (2d100)

Id be down with that name

Let's get a recap of all rolled results before we start brainstorming. Then we can pick out themes more easily and start making this into something.

Could just be ours. Of course, is we subtract one from the first and add one to the second we get the Iron Sentinels.

Let's not

Mailed Marauders is somewhat gimmicky, although I like the Marauders part.

It could be an esoteric blending of Guilliman and some feature perhaps?

War Cunt

I agree, especially since we're supposed to be quick and shooty.

How about Lightning Marauders?

War Whore

Damn

I stuck both together, for future reference.

I propose Omega Marauders

Partly for the Ultramarine heritage and partly because both the Omega and Mu are greek letters that can work very well on their symbols

I see what you did there.
