Aka /yourdudes/. A huge part of the hobby is creating stories and lore. It can be about your army, a large group of factions, or smaller stories like a single model that gained elevated status.

Let’s rap about all these cool interesting stories.

    I have a draft that I will absolutely finisj some day about an Astartes chapter that primarily deploys alongside Guard and occasionaly Navy forces, not as separate force that comes in, wrecks shit, refuses to elaborate and leaves, but integrated (and to a degree intermingled) with their personell.

    They’d serve not just as shock troops like the Astartes usually do, but also as defensive resources and morale boosters, zealously embracing the divinity of the God-Emperor and their own nature as His holy warriors. Besides Warfare, they’d be trained in rhetorics, the Ecclesiastical canon, their Librarians focused on divination and biomancy (particularly restorative) powers to further cement their perception as saints.

    Their progenitor is unknown and the rumours that they’re sons of Lorgar are entirely unfounded and pure blasphemy.

      Morale boostering marines are an interesting concept. A lot of conversion possibilities for them, as well as making matching guard forces aesthetically.
