- The Blood Hounds maintain 2 worlds for several reasons, one of those being their need for more recruits the usual.
-
-
The Blood Hounds are a Chapter shrouded in mystery, they are believed to be of the geneseed of the Lion and to have been created in the original splitting of the Legions.
-
Although the Chapter does not follow the organizational pattern of the Codex Astartes they adhere to the ideals and principles within it's hallowed pages.
-
As an Unforgiven chapter, they are charged with the destruction of the Fallen Angels.
-
Although they are isolationists, they are one of the friendliest to mortals in this region, going to further extents than most to protect the common citizen liken to that of the Salamanders or Ultramarines.
-
The Chapter commonly builds it's own equipment, steal from disliked forces such as the Ad mech on the rare occasion where they can get away with it as well as salvaging and purifying Chaos equipment.
-
After The invasion of Kardon and Ardon by a Dark Eldar force the Chapter needed to replenish their ranks quickly so the new Grand master of the Blood Hounds Aldric ordered the chief Apothecary attempt something that had not been done outside of the forces of chaos. Female Space Marines... (This is of course a Chapter Secret.)
-
The Blood Hounds are strongly independent as the origial founder, a Captain of the Dark Angels Legion in the Great Crusade looked down upon everyone but the Guard and fellow Space Marines, as such the Chapter is very isolated from the Rest of the Imperium.
-
The Chapter sets out to recruit and train others to be psykers, most officers and NCOs are varying degrees of normally lower level physkers, as higher levels become Librarians.
-
Due to distrust of the Mechanicus the Blood Hounds recruit keep and hide Hereteks to not only produce the large numbers of rare equipment used by the Chapter but also to create new, innovative tech, for the Chapter cares not for the babbling religion of the Tech Priests
-
All marines of the chapter are aware of the existence of the Fallen although those not fully initiated know only of their existence and not the full story, This is one of the things that sets them apart from their parent and brother chapters. The Blood Hounds feel that their marines cannot identify and track down The Fallen in battle if they don’t know what they are.
-
One may think that only marines of the chapter are allowed in the Grand Library In the chapter fortress on Kardon, but in fact, most of it is (barring certain areas) open to almost everyone. The chapter house is a gigantic fortress that is made to serve as a shelter for the entire population in times of invasion.
-
The chapter entirely rejects servitors on the basis that robots are not trustworthy,
ships are run by volunteers from the planetary defense forces, and combat vehicles are fully crewed by space marines. -
The Chapter frowns upon bionics Heavily.
-
Recruits are not sent to combat until receiving Power Armour.
-
The chapter frowns upon removing one's helmet in combat.
-
Once the chapter has won a planet from heretics or aliens,They see to it that the planet is repaired to a state of at least relative comfort and safety for it's people as is taught in the Codex Astartes.
Relics
Grand Master Aldric the Reformer of the Blood Hounds wields *The Absolver* a power blade forged of psychically attuned crystal during the Great Crusade for a captain of the Dark Angels, founder of the Blood Hounds Chapter of Astartes.
After Someone of about 7-10 volunteers to join they must go through about 3 years of schooling before the final test:
When aspirant is around 13, he - along with 9 others - is knocked out and awoken in some harsh terrain on the planet. They are left with a slide recording that tells them that they are being chased by Chaos Marines, and that they have to evade them and get to a Storm Raven. While in reality, the "Chaos Marines" are really Blood Hounds masquerading as such and using stun rounds against them. after the test they begin their augmentation
