Master Sindiferous

Sweet biker Stobz. especially like toxicology in metallics and the red eyes. i have a couple based and started that way. Makes them look more menacing in my opinion. Keep on Keeping on. I will soon be making my move to a vin dread. Too old and too broke to keep playing in the reindeer games, so I may yet get to start my painting and plastic crack pile compilation. Then again, the 7th member of my fire team will be making her arrival about a week after I walk away and become a Former Action Guy. Much rather the Vin-dread, but like I said I have a fire team to train...... Guess that makes me Master of Novices.. in my Chapter. May have to change my title on here. Either way, I very much appreciate your work and sharing on here. Hoping I can eventually get close to your level, and yes I will start a post so I can be critiqued and harangued by all my DA Brethren.

I have wrapped up 4 years of awesome building in one nights reading. Your Army is Tops! I have so many models waiting to be built and painted I will definitely borrow some of what I have seen you do. Have my DW about where I want them from playing heavy DW and an IK in 6th edition, but I have an RW box, 3 bike squads from DV box, extra speeders and 4 squads of Tacs still waiting to be built and need to finish painting some kit bashed Devs and kit bashed Vets. Now with 7th I need to add in an assault squad and dark shroud. So as you say log, log, log.... Thanks for the inspiration Stobz. Cheers!

Instead all being mind wiped their inner circle being a myth maybe because the Chaplains (Inner Circle) meet on their overland journeys, secretly retaining the zealousness, hiding it from the Angels of Vengeance. I also like the idea they were chosen to guard a mysterious relic hidden deep with in the frozen planets core. I agree the loving fire your Promethium could come from the ice as it changes states directly from a solid to a gaseous form when heated. Or some wicked flame breathing super turkey that lives on the surface (like those used by Chaos Marines). This could be the means to a ritual in which the basic tactical marine gains entry into the first company. The zealous marine upon selection,would be sent to successfully obtain a supply of promethium from the frozen plains,with which to charge his newly issued flamer weapon upon successful return and induction into the first company. Maybe expand on the Sororitas line of thought causing them to change their use of the second company to better match or potentially allow the more battle inclined Sisters to join that company in battle by sharing tactics. Would also allow,you to develop the line for other battles fought for relics or echlisiarchy led expeditions used to bring the righteous word to the masses, or maybe to progress to the second company could be to bed or wed a sister. Ok that probably went to far, but you get the line of thought. I hope some of this may help and if you have issues with adding URLs let me know I am a pro now. Now go flail yourself twenty times for seeing that image of the sisters in your mind. Never Forget! Never Forgive!

Thanks. It flows with the story line in the Codex that those who can't come to terms are never seen again...... Figured a group of Sentient Angels with Blood Red helms and Grieves coming to take you away goes along with that imagery. Never Forget! Never Forgive!

Grand Master Belial, I wish to declare my work complete. I believe I have answered your requirements from before and managed to add my pictures. Please review and let me know if I need any additional input. I still may add to my thread until you close out the work this go round, but want to make sure the Sentient Angels will be listed among the DA Successors Rolls of Honor. Never Forget! Never Forgive!

Hey Brother best of Luck on the PCS. Hope you got a good stationing. I myself am involuntarily finishing up a 27 year career within the next few months. So broke they are retiring me to a Ven Dread. Hope to see you back on here soon. Never Forget! Never Forgive!

Added to my Chapter with Edits. Still having problems with adding pictures. tried pasting URLs but no luck.

The first three links to the photos are just the HTML links and need the image tags. The following sections do not seem to be present: CHAPTER HOME WORLD/FLEET: Are the Sentient Angels based on the Rock or on vessels. PRESENT ACTIVITIES: What are the Sentient Angels doing now? Are they active in a hunt?ROLL OF HONOR: Short descriptions of famous battles and outcomes in the Sentient Angel's history.HONORS, RELICS, DECORATIONS AND AWARDS: Are the marines given something before they return to their chapter? LOCAL RITUALS: Is there a ritual that the brothers undergo when they joint the Sentient Angels? I can see something leading to the scarlet painting of sections of the armor. The brother would draw their own blood and dab it over the DA badge or their old chapter badge leading to the blood red logo and red hands. BELIEFS: It was hinted at in the history, but perhaps something from the Sentient Angels point of view. The sections marked in green would be enough to mark this as complete. WILCO!

Grand Master Belial, I have completed initial work on my Sentient Angels Chapter and finally managed to get the URLs to work for pictures. Let me know what I need to do to move on from WIP category. Currently working on my first tactical squad and Chapter Master. Waiting now on new DA Codex..... Cheers!

Updated my post with pictures. I think I finally figured it out.

I too have a IK Free Blade who has joined my DA Deathwing army in the hunt for the Fallen after his home world was ripped apart by them. Soon to add another IK to run with my Ravenwing fast attack army. I'll share pictures of my first IK in the near future followed by his Sword Brother shortly.

DS late to the game, but I'm not a big fan of the red stripe myself. Like the Mean Green look with metal accents.

I added this as an edit to my original post, but figured I should add it here if others like me check updates here first. Please leave any thoughts you mat have good or bad. My opinion is ever DA waivers a little (save for Asmodai) and sometimes they need a lace to refit and return with a vengeance. Enjoy the post.. ▪ GENE-SEED (PREDECESSOR):- Dark Angels ▪ FOUNDING:- [M.41] ▪ CHAPTER MASTER:- Master Sindiferous ▪ CHAPTER WORLD:- Unknown ▪ FORTRESS MONASTERY:- None, Fleet Based ▪ MAIN COLOURS:- Caliban Green, Bone White, Scarlet, and Black. ▪ SPECIALITY:- Quick Strike, Direct Action, Surgical Strikes, Hammer Blows ▪ BATTLE CRY:- For the Lion, The Emperor, and Terra! ▪ CURRENT STRENGTH:- Unknown “See History below..” Sentient Angels “The Lords of Conscious” Sentient Angels “The Lords of Conscious” – Made up of those veteran Dark Angels who initially lost their way upon having been intentionally or unintentionally being exposed to the Dark Angels hidden truths. Once they have come to accept the deception and outright lies, they exist to expunge the perceived stains the Dark Angels have brought upon them by placing the Hunt above all else. The Sentient Angels maintain the original values of the 1st Legion as established by the Emperor himself. The Chapters armor maintains the scheme of the original chapter to match that of the original Deathwing save for their helmets that are now painted bone white and their gauntlets a deep scarlet to represent the blood stains left on their souls by putting The Hunt above all else. They are also easily picked out of a group by their black shoulder board with the winged sword logo repainted scarlet red to match that of the original black armor worn by the 1st Legion Dark Angels. Grand Master Sindiferous leads the Sentient Angels with his unflinching loyalty to the Emperor of Man and his tactical wisdom and knowledge gained over the millennium. Master Sindiferous was the first to escape his demons. After being tested in battle beside Ezekiel as a member of the 5th company while leading a squad of Space Marines. Sindiferous helped carry Ezekiel to safety after he was wounded. He later rejoined the battle at Ezekiel side to help claim victory over the Ork commander Groblonik and his Waaagh! Sindiferous actions and his aid to Ezekiel gained him recognition and a deep trust of the Librarian. With the recognition gained assisting Ezekiel and his long standing in the 5th Company, Sindiferous was thought to be ready for induction to the Deathwing. Upon introduction to the truths that were held from him for so long, Sindiferous was lost within himself becoming disillusioned with the revealed truth. With hidden assistance from Cypher, disguised as a Company Master assigned to a Dark Angels Successor chapter, Sindiferous finds his souls true convictions. He makes a vow to restore the honor and integrity of the Dark Angels by following those truths and missions given to him as a recruit on Terra by the Emperor of Man himself. Sindiferous gathers other like-minded, disillusioned, but loyal Dark Angels to his group and provides them with guidance and purpose. After gathering over 100 Dark Angels to his group Master Sindiferous reveals himself and the others to Ezekiel. Although initially uncertain of how to take this group, Ezekiel searched the depths of Sindiferous soul and those who followed him. Ezekiel then convinced Grand Master Azrael and the Dark Angels leadership to maintain the group as a way to utilize these wavering souls by rehabilitating them through this Chapter. Some would return to their respective Chapters, while others would remain to defend mankind from Xenos threats thereby founding the Sentient Angels. The one requirement placed on the chapter by Grand Master Azrael is the required presence of several Librarians throughout the Chapter to ensure their loyalty to the Emperor. Each Company is led by a Librarian hand picked by Ezekiel himself with a mastery level of the arcane knowledge of the warp. These librarians serve in place of a Company Master. The Librarians select one Company Sergeant as a second to lead in their stead over the other squad sergeants and assist in their training. Ezekiel’s minions make certain the Space Marines that arrive broken are helped to emerge from the depths of perception with an iron will unmatched by any other Dark Angels Chapter. Those unable to be helped are set free of their burden by the Chapter’s sole Chaplain known only by a whispered name as Destiny’s Servant. Secretly the other Dark Angel Successor Chapter Masters as well as Asmodai, Belial and Samael, all argue among themselves about the validity of the Sentient Angels. Many believe they are no more than the Fallen they vowed to hunt down. Only Master Azrael and the guarantee of Ezekiel keep them in check. The most boisterous foe of the Sentient Angels being Asmodai, keeps Master Sindiferous on edge and ever aware of those around him. Even though the Chapters own Chaplain came to them of his own free will, Master Sindiferous charged him with maintaining the Chapters values and convictions set forth by the Emperor himself. Together they are always searching for anything that may lead to a heretic space marine or a spy for Asmodai. To date, none of these rejuvenated souls have been found wavering. Instead they display an iron will and desire to defend the human race at all costs. Sentient Angel’s Companies (Members of the Sentient Angels are considered Veteran Space Marines.) Ezekiel and his Librarian Conclave oversee the Chapter leadership of the 6 Companies yet defer to Master Sindiferous’ tactical knowledge and martial skill. Other Dark Angels Chapter Masters rotate through from time to time to witness the rebirth of Space Marines sent to the Chapter for healing and repurposing of those whose souls have rebounded from the traumatic knowledge of the lies held by the inner circle. Sentient Angels are all considered veteran space marines by virtue of attaining the knowledge and hidden truths of the inner circle by happenstance or planned initiation. The 1st Company- (Numbers unknown.) Company Librarian: Micah Armed with Force Axe and an ancient Plasma pistol that can be fired repeatedly without fear of overheating. Company Master SGT: Brother Cane May Choose Power Sword or Axe and combi-plasma pistol or may Choose to carry a heavy weapon at no additional cost.

These fearless Space Marines fight through pain and fear without falter driven by the knowledge that forced them into the chapter. They are determined to protect mankind and uphold the tenants of the 1st Legion set forth by the Emperor himself when he stood up the Dark Angels on Terra. Made up of ten man teams: Teams may break down into split teams of 6 each after initial deployment. (May deploy in 3 man teams as needed.)

Retain Dark Angels Death Wing special rules. Due to arcane knowledge gifted from Cypher the Sentient Angels may conduct precision deep strikes when deploying with Master Micah or Brother Cane and drop pods deployed with those teams are gifted with the same rule. The 2nd Company Fast Attack (Numbers unknown.) Company Librarian: Master Lukas - Armed with an ancient Force Sword with special properties. Lukas is also gifted with a grav-bike similar to Samael’s own from the armories at the rock upon request by the chapter’s Tech Marine: Brother Montovani.

Devotional Squad – Recent transferees/ New Members (Numbers unknown.) Company Chaplain: known only as Destiny’s Servant. His name is known only to Ezekiel, Azrael, and Sindiferous. Squad Master SGT: Brother Hypierion This squad can be as big as a company, but is only managed by the company chaplain and his selected Master SGT. The squad as it is called allows time for those sent to the Sentient Angels to adjust and to verify their loyalty to the Chapter and the Dark Angels as a whole. If found lacking this conviction they are terminated from the retraining at a time deigned by the Chapter’s Chaplain and Master Sindiferous. All others upon approval are moved to the 6th company for training prior to moving to their final stationing within the Chapter.

Well I am going to try my hand at this. Not sure how good it will turn out, but I definitely want to get my chapter out of my head and onto the forum. Only question I have is where can I go to build my Space Marines in their colors? I have seen others post examples, but can't seem to find it. If anyone will post a link I will add it to my storyline when it is completed. I, Grand Master Sindiferous, Chapter Master of the Sentient Angels, in the name of the Lion, make this oath of moment to submit a complete history of my chapter and it's honored brothers.

Together they are always searching for anything that may lead to a heretic space marine or a spy for Asmodai. To date, none of these rejuvenated souls have been found wavering. Instead they display an iron will and desire to defend the human race at all costs. Finding a home: The Sentient Angels were initially fleet based in a Battle Barge known as Redemption and two cruiser class vessels they named the Hammer and Anvil. However these angels needed a place to find resources and establish a home base to train on and potential gather recruits to maintain their ranks and provide support to the chapter. Sindiferous along with Ezekiel sought out an inhabitable world to establish as a home planet for the newly founded Chapter. They traveled to Dauntless 1 where they had fought together against the Xenos hoards until there were no known survivors and the planet was left to heal on it's own. Unbeknownst to the pair of Dark Angels at the time, the world was a long forgotten Forge World and was now home to the last survivor of Dauntless, Master Jericho a Free Blade Imperial Knight who returned to find the death and destruction left by the conflict. After a tense first meeting, in which Ezekiel utilized his mastery of the Warp to stop an attack by this Imperial Knight, Master Sindiferous explained what had taken place on the planet and the reason for his return. Master Jericho vowed his life and his Imperial Knight, “Blue Jack” Warprider, to fight for Master Sindiferous and the Sentient Angels as long as they fought to vanquish the xenon scum and protect the humans that depended on them. Fortress Monastery: known as Siegen's Keep, was established on the highest peak of Dauntless 1 in honor of Master Jericho's ancestral home. Master Jericho manages the planet for the Sentient Angels from here and has began to reestablish the knightly order similar to that found on Old Caliban. The Keep was designed to reflect the best attributes of the Rock to include the deep dungeons used to hold those who cannot recover and need additional assistance from the Chapters loan Interrogator Chaplain. During construction of the dark deep halls under the fortress, an ancient underground forgotten forge world storage facility was uncovered. This facility provide the Sentient Angels with ancient master crafted weapons, power weapons, artificer and terminator armor dreadnoughts both cataphracti and more current systems are prevalent, as well as a limited number of grav-bikes and armored heavy support vehicles. Upon discovery of this site, The Sentient Angels Tech Marine, Brother Montovani, cataloged the site and requested support from other tech marines and tech priests from Mars to assist in restoring the inventoried war gear and to reopen the forge world facility on a limited basis. Initiates: Those joining the Sentient Angels initially believe they are going to be put down by their Chapter brothers as they are handed over to one of the Sentient Angel Librarian Company Masters. The Chapter's Armor color has fostered rumors that their arms and faces are painted red with the blood of those Dark Angels who have been taken from the ranks after being left unable to come to terms with the truth of the Dark Angels past. Each of those taken are known to the inner circle and Death Wing because they have come face to face with the Fallen Dark Angels that have been hunted since the fall of Caliban. Those who know what the Sentient Angels are hide the truth and foster the rumors as a means to help those who see their battle brothers disappear keep from asking questions. Upon arrival these new initiates see they are surrounded by an Army of red armed red helmed Space Marines. They are kept separated for period of forty days of what is called penance to relearn what it is to be a Dark Angel and what the Emperor of Man wanted to achieve with his Crusade to reestablish the human race throughout the galaxy. They learn of the battles the 1st legion has fought and won against Orcs, Tyrannids, Tau, Eldar, Necron, and of course the fallen space marines who have turned to the chaos gods. During this time they are tested by the librarians, questioned by the lone Interrogator Chaplain, known only as Destiny's Servant, and trained on the new weapons found on the planet. Once this period of Isolation is completed. The final rights of the inner circle are completed, all secrets are fully disclosed, and oath to uphold the Emperor of Mans Ideals and protect the human race throughout the galaxy are made. The new initiates are then taken into a portion of the Keep deep inside the caves where they as a group are confronted by a final test conducted by the Chapters Interrogator Chaplain but has never been spoken of by any to this day. Those who do not return from this test are not spoken of ever again. Painting of the Armor: The new members of the Chapter are all considered part of the inner circle due to their knowledge of the Dark Angel's hidden past. It is now that they find that the blood that is shed to paint the arms and helm of their armor is their own. The initiates utilize a traditional Caliban style hunting knife to make three cuts across their chests: one to represent the Oath taken by the First Legion from the Emperor of Man; one to represent the lies hidden by the inner circle that no longer bind them; and a third to represent the oath to their new Chapter and Mission. A final mark is made directly across the three connecting them as a promise should they ever reveal themselves they will again be tested by Destiny's Servant. With their blood they coat the arms and helm of their ceremonial armor red until it can be replaced forever by the Ochre Red. The Sentient Angels are a determined force. With the full knowledge of the Dark Angel's past put behind them they are fearless and will fight to the last in defense of Humanity. Ever reminded by the the three scars connected by one on their chest. This can be seen by the three lightning bolts across a red sword emblem found on their war gear. They are unwavering and loyal to the last. Once committed they will fight, but as stubborn as they are they will reconsolidate as needed to tactically take the fight on another battlefield if needed. Their belief is loosing a battle is not loosing a war, it is merely a way to learn the traits of the enemy. Battle Streamers and Glories: The members of the Sentient Angels come from all Chapters of the 1st Legion. The battles fought by these brothers have been numerous, and they have taken part in several of the large conflicts the 1st Legion has been part of albeit in smaller formations at times. They are used by Azrael as a lightning strike force or surgical strike unit when one of the Fallen has been pinpointed or as a reserve when his available troops have been committed. (Although not solely part of the Hunt they come down like a Hammer when one of the Fallen are found.) However the Sentient Angels are almost always last out as they begin the process of planet building or as needed the final destruction and cleansing of the Xenos. Current Activities: As a Chapter they travel along the eastern rim of the known galaxy and aid inhabited planets defending them from the ever more frequent incursions of Tau and Eldar, an occasional Ork raiding Waagh, the constant threat of Tyrannid hive invasions, and less frequently the fallen Chaos Marines scattered through their area of operations. Sentient Angel’s Companies (Members of the Sentient Angels are considered Veteran Space Marines.) Ezekiel and his Librarian Conclave oversee the Chapter leadership of the 6 Companies yet defer to Master Sindiferous’ tactical knowledge and martial skill. Other Dark Angels Chapter Masters rotate through from time to time to witness the rebirth of Space Marines sent to the Chapter for healing and repurposing of those whose souls have rebounded from the traumatic knowledge of the lies held by the inner circle. Sentient Angels are all considered veteran space marines by virtue of attaining the knowledge and hidden truths of the inner circle by happenstance or planned initiation.

If I am told by the Senior Dark Angels here to cut and paste this to Chaos page I'll argue it, as every devoted DA waivers a little sometime doubting (Saving maybe Asmodai). Either way hope you all enjoy the History. FOR THE LION, THE EMPEROR, AND TERRA!!!
