Lysimachus Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 You can basically do as much or as little as you want, from what you've already got (name and a scheme) right up to a full IA with your own Codex+Chapter Tactics rules, or pretty much anywhere in between! Might be best to post what you've got, and if there are any things you particularly want/don't want to include - for example; favoured tactics, parent geneseed, Homeworld culture, etc. That gives us a good place to start offering suggestions to help build up your Chapter?

Draakur Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's a fairly nuanced scheme, but if you feel like you can pull it off more power to you! I like the name, what else is there to know about them? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 What do the Chapter name, symbol, and colors represent? That distinguishes your ideas from everyone else's, for better or worse. Why are they "Sons of the Void"? Is the Chapter fleet-based, recruiting from the void-born (born aboard a starship to the ship's crewmembers)? Or are they nihilists who want to return everything to the primordial state of "the Void", as their patron (a Chaos God? a C'tan?) demands? Why black and purple for their colors? Purple is associated with royalty, so do the Marines see themselves as royalty, or as loyal servants of a royal persona (maybe the Emperor)? Black is associated with mourning (see the Black Templars), with erasing the past (see the Black Legion), with seriousness (see the Deathwatch), etc. And what experiences, what history shaped the Chapter and made them choose this name and these colors?

Jagus Kumkani Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 WarCry: “Fear not death! To the Void we shall return!” or “Smile at the face of Death! In the void eternal!” Founding: 23rd Founding (37th millennium “Sentinel” Founding) Successors of: Salamanders (Suspected) Successor Chapters: None Number: Unknown (1000 Suspected) Primarch: Vulkan (Suspected) Chapter Master: Lozal Kadukris (Librarian) Previous: Chapter Master Talis Melveb (KIA M38) HomeWorld: Eternity Base (Destroyed), Currently Fleet Based Allegiance: Imperium of Man Colors: Black, Purple, Dark Blue Chapter History- The chapter is believed to be created during the 23rd founding, the latter part of the 37th millennium with the intent to repair the power and reach of the Adeptus Astartes that had suffered considerable losses in the preceding millennia. Several of the Space Marine Chapters founded at this time were conceived as Chapters that would pursue perpetual Crusades against the Emperor's foes. From what Imperial records indicate, the Chapter was placed in the Segmentum Pacificus in the Veiled Region where several dangerous Ork warbands, various xenos mercenaries and the dreaded Necrons also reside in this region. Early in the Sons history, their Asteroid-Fortress (Eternity Base) was destroyed by a large Necron contingent. What transpired during the Eternity Base incident has fueled a bitter hatred for the Necron and heavy augmentation of the Chapters Space Marines. The only exception of this, is the Chapters Techmarines. The Chapter Council elected to remain fleet-based after the loss of their Asteroid-Fortress, their previous Chapter Master, half of the Chapters 1st Company and nearly 200 Void-Brothers. The Sons view this as their biggest failure and feel they must regain their sense of honor in the eyes if the Emperor. Since the Eternity Base Incident, the Chapter has slowly been rebuilding its strength over the last few centuries in order to fully commit its strength to the Imperium. Despite the heavy blow to the Chapter, the Sons of the Void have continued to lend their strength to the threats of the imperium wherever they see fit, and have largely remained in the Veiled Region vying to destroy their greatest enemies. Until recently (early M41) the Chapter has gone largely unnoticed. The Sons of the Void have participated in some of the most notable campaigns in recent history. Notable Campaigns: Sabbot Worlds Crusade: Operation NewFound (756-764.M41) Ambold Eleven (756.M41)- Along with the Iron Snakes Space Marine Chapters, the Sons of the Void en route to Sverren, answered the frantic signals of Colonel Begulin of the Sarpoy Regiment , voluntarily diverted and made a drop-pod assault on the targeted cities to relieve the desperate and beleaguered Imperial Guard forces. Operation Hell Storm (765.M41)- The Sons 2nd and 3rd Battle Companies supported the White Scars and Silver Guards advance on the Emancipatory, ultimately taking the Oligarchy Gate, losing 24 battle brothers in the process. *note: There were 6 Astartes Chapters that supported the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, but the last remains unlisted in current Imperial records. The Sons of the Void were the unlisted Chapter that supported the Sabbot Worlds Crusade. Chapter Recruitment- Since the Chapter is fleet based, it gets the majority of its initiates from the planets and systems they come across. The Chapter just like all Space Marine Chapters only select initiates that prove their mettle in the Chapter’s trials. It is said the Chapter test their initiates “in the abyss of the void” taking those initiates that are ready for battle, and including them on an Ork boarding action. Those that survive, and prove worthy to the Sons, are then inducted into the Chapters Scout Company, and eventually become “Void-Brothers”. Like most fleet based chapters the Sons put neophytes from the same planet/system into different squads and companies to break up any allegiances they previously had, having them build ties with the chapter rather than their home world. The Sons also take special interest in those that possess the abilities of the psyker, no one knows for sure to what end the chapter goes with these neophytes. Imperial Scholars speculate the Chapter favors psychically gifted initiates for the purpose of enhanced Chapter coordination during ground and void battles. Chapter Combat Doctrine- Drop Pod/Aerial Assault are the favored methods of the Sons, bringing death from the void is the way they wage the war on behalf of the Emperor of Mankind and his subjects. The Sons put special emphasis on the use of their air units in any of their engagements. Every Space Marine within the 7th company is a trained pilot, ready to assume the duty should a dedicated pilot be KIA. The Sons prefer lightning fast strikes to enemy lines where they then bring the brunt of their combat power to bear. It is when the Sons engage in ground combat their air units come in to surround the foe so there is no escape. This can encompass anything from aerial weapons support, strategic strike with Assault /Tactical squads, the Chapters Scout Company (Land Speeders, Bike Squads, etc.), Company Dreadnoughts, and Chapter Armor (Rhinos, Razorbacks, Predators, Vindicators, etc.). Chapter Organization – The Sons basic company organization adheres with the directives of the Codex. The Sons maintain ten standard companies. Each of these companies maintains the status, combat specializations, and training protocols as dictated per the Codex. This is in spite of the fact that the Chapter is fleet-based, so companies may be forced to separate due to extended assignments aboard vessels directed to separate portions of the Imperium. The most sweeping change within the Sons company leadership is that all company commanders take a member of the Librarium on as a trusted advisor, who aids in preparation for all battles. In some instances, these Librarians even go on to assume the title of company commander in the event of battlefield losses. As of yet 2nd and 4th battle companies are led by a Codiciers from the librarium with another Codicier leading the Chapters 6th reserve company. The Chapter does not seem that they will replace these space marines any time soon. Company command structure is as follows, Captain (Void Commander), Sergeant (Void Leader), Battle-Brother (Void Brother) Chapter Beliefs- The Chapter puts special emphasis on self-reliance, loyalty and self-sacrifice. These values come from the Chapter being relatively alone in their endeavors, and the Chapters rites. When the Chapter is campaigning, it’s usually for long intervals, anywhere from 1-2 decades at a time without ever seeing or interacting with other Chapters. They are often met with suspension when they do come across other chapters. The Sons are as loyal as any chapter, they put their utmost trust and faith in the Emperor. It is believed by Chapters that have served alongside the Sons that they look forward to death. It would correlate with why the Chapter’s power armor is mostly black and why they seem so eager to engage in combat. It is said that the Space Marines of this Chapter are merely waiting until it is their time to “Be in the void alongside the Emperor.” Hence why they do not fear death, and if they are not refitting or training new recruits, they are campaigning the Emperors realm looking to bring death to his enemies The Chapter believes they are in eternal service to the Emperor, it being a great honor to die in his service for the gene-seed will be passed on to another battle brother to continue serving for as long as the Chapter exists. Therefore, the Chapter believe they are royal servants of the Emperor and will go to great lengths to please him. They also believe every man, woman and child has earned their place in the Emperors domain, they see that everyone must serve him in one way or another. Whether that be a miner on an imperial world churning out resources for the Imperium or serving a Space Marine Chapter as a serf. The Sons hold their support staff in high esteem, saying that without the support from their servants, the Chapter would not operate effectively. This outlook reinforces why scholars believe the Sons of the Void are descendants of the Salamanders Chapter. Chapter Fleet- 2 Battle Barges, 8 Strike Cruisers, 12 Escorts Void Reaper (Battle Barge) Eternal Vengeance (Battle Barge) Chapter Appearance- Physical Appearance: The Sons have long been suspected of being a Successor Chapter of the Salamanders due to their similar, larger-than-normal physiques and tendency to develop ebony skin due to a mutation in the DNA of the Chapter's Melanochrome gene-seed organ, a flaw that is only known to affect the gene-seed of the Salamanders. An additional factor of where the Chapter received their gene-seed is because the Chapter is constantly crusading and is regularly exposed to the void’s radiation (Warp Travel, Solar Nebula, etc.) Chapter Colors- The Sons of the Void primarily wear black Power Armor. The inset of the right shoulder guard is black in color. The white colored squad specialty symbol on the right shoulder guard designate operational specialty -- Tactical, Devastator, Assault or Veteran. A white Roman numeral is stenciled on the right knee of the power armor denoting company marking. Interestingly, there are no squad markings. Chapter Badge- The Sons of the Void’s Chapter badge is a white vertical hourglass enmeshed with a horizontal infinity symbol on a field of black.

I tried to just keep it simple and have them fit into the WH40k somewhat. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhiv Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's simple and it fits to the current known canon, there isn't much else to say, really. Only question that pops up is that where the chapter's cult got its religious undertones (looking to join the Emperor and such) considering that Salamanders are more or less as secular as Space Marines go.

Jagus Kumkani Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 The Chapter gets its religious undertones from being relatively alone in their endeavors, that can encompass the Chapter patrolling their realm or campaigning. They have themselves and the Emperor to rely on, so in turn hold the Emperor in high regard. It has not been confirmed nor denied that the Chapter follows the Imperial Cult.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The additional details help flesh out your Chapter. Its history is well written. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7QwYlsBz-qyUnBMd2kwVnFGN1U Sons of the Void Chapter symbol. Interesting design. I recognize an hourglass and the infinity symbol. Does the hourglass represent the fact death will inevitability claim all but the immortal Emperor? (I'm assuming the infinity symbol represents the Marines' term of service, i.e., an infinite and eternal crusade.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagus Kumkani Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Precisely that. My aim was to have the Chapter symbol have heavy influence from the Chapter's beliefs and rites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
