>>40409416
But we rolled a jungle world.

>>40409416

The Home World was all ready stated to be a Jungle Hive world i'm afraid.

Also as we were formed to counter a threat I suggest an Ork Waaaargh!

>>40409461
Well the chapter hero was good at killing orks, so that seems like the threat they were formed to combat. But what about the tyranids?

>>40409503

How about sector got invaded by the 'nids whilst we were about to take out the Warboss. The sudden appearance of the 'nids caused us to have to abandon the hunt in order to defend our home world.

>>40408554
>What does terror entail?
Think Night Lords.

Also how many fa/tg/uys are lurking in this thread?

>>40409503
>>40409461
Okay, we're jungle IED-happy fucks.

We initially fought Orks to liberate the planet, and then a 'Nid splinter fleet arrived, fucking up everything thing.

Alright, to recap, this chapter was founded to counter a threat the imperium knew was coming. They were produced in the 39th Millenium as Dark Angels successors, but with flawed geneseed. They have the general demeanour of seeing but not being seen, favoring stealth. They don't trust one Imperial Institution, which isn't the Arbites, because they're all buddy buddy. Their hero was a battle brother from 4th company's 1st squad, who killed a ton of orks. Their homeworld is a hive world with jungle terrain, which is ruled by stewardship. They have a unique organization that doesn't field Assault marines, but uses fear-inducing TERROR tactics. They have a preferred fighting style, such as a special bolter pattern of ammunition. They honor their primarch, the Lion, and are at nominal strength. But wait! They're missing their lyman's ear, which means they can get motion sickness. Drop Pod rides must be unbearable. They are currently fighting Tyranids.

In short, /tg/, you have rolled all the necessary elements for a chapter of Sniper Marines.

>>40409706
They snipe, they do IEDs and they terrorize the ranks of Orks, using the power of striking with remote charges and shit to take out and totally devalue WAAAGH!

>>40409772
Would would they use IEDs?

>>40409706

Terror Sniper Marines, awesome. As such I suggest that our preffered fighting style is using kraken ammunition allowing us to strike down enemies regardless of the armour they cower behind.

>>40409820
Some kind of long range pattern bolters.

>>40409503
>Strategic Prognostication
>Dark Angels
>This chapter hates a single imperial institution, and so, does not work with them.
>Kills Orks
>Kills Tyranids

Hmm... could it be that this particular chapter is created to secretly combat Fallen Angels in the ranks of the Death Watch? Intent on rooting out those despicable individuals hiding behind black armour, chapter insignias that are not of their own, and stolen identities? Does their scrutiny extend towards the seemingly innocent Ordo Xenos? Will the Fallen Angels, after having their false identity blown off by these vigilant Angels, finally know fear?

>>40409847

Stalker pattern with kraken ammo then?

>>40409799
Because not knowing when your supply lines, patrols or armor getting blown scares the fuck out of the enemy.

If you're going for terrorizing an enemy, then why wouldn't you use a form of explosive?

>>40409867

Liking that idea. Liking it a lot actually. We are the shadows that watch within and without.

>>40409901
That would explain the Death's Shadows bit.

>>40409870
Stalker seems more stealth orientated. Some kind of super long range heavy bolter, maybe?

>>40409867
I am in love with this idea. I mean, a chapter that watches the deathwatch? That's actually original and interesting.

>>40409973

Maybe we can have the battle cry as shadows within shadows without or some angst like that?

Hmm I think there was pattern used during the good ol' Heresy called the Sol Militaris or something that was pretty much a marksman heavy bolter.

>>40410088
Shadows within shadows does have a nice ring to it.

>>40410155

Ticks all the boxes for DA angst and secrecy.

The institution they hate is obvious: the Adeptus Astartes.

>>40410248
Lacking the Lyman's ear is really going to fuck with them though. Would they even be capable of using Drop Pods? And firing without their helmet on would deafen them.

>>40410269

Which also works for them circle-jerking it to the Lion as they would view all other chapters as having inferior genetic material.

If they're fighting nids I rolled up a hive fleet a few days ago we could use

>>40410292

I reckon they would but it would be either after lots of training or only for very specific situations where nothing else will work. Plus drop pods dont really work to well for the whole see but dont be seen thing.

>>40410317
Spill the beans then, Anon.

>>40409901
>>40409973
The chapter prefers long range combat and terror tactics because there is no better way to capture a Fallen target subdue a WAAAGH!! that may have been fabricated by the chapter to lure Deathwatch involvement than removing the fictional Warboss at the height of his gloating speech with simultaneous Stalker pattern bolter shots placed at each limb of the Fallen, and breaking the morale of the rest of the filth with teleport jammers which also happen to prevent the crippled Fallen from escaping and IEDs which also happen hide the tracks of possible chapter involvement.

>>40410360
Sonofabitch. Their chapter hero, their reason for being founded... It was all a giant cover-up. This is beautiful.

>>40410360

I like this a lot, but I still don't think the IED's fit all that way. Maybe mass artillery or something would work as then it just looks like Guardsmen.

>>40410356
Hive fleet Hydra (not very fitting but its a placeholder)
Progenitor: Dagon

Seems good, although name might need changing to something relating to acid or poison maybe. Something terrible like Hive Fleet Viper Fang.

>>40410616
Yeah I picked Hydra as a placeholder, though the Lernean one had poison blood so there's that.

>>40410616

Mass artillery it is then. Plus it makes it possible to mask whom the true target is a chunks of bodies go flying around after seemingly indiscriminate artillery.

>>40410656

Besides the fact we're Dark Angels successors?

>>40410420
>>40410442
>>40410762

Well bruva, the reason the chapter utilizes IEDs is to teach their scouts whose sergeants happen to be members of the Inner Circle, on a lookout for Fallen targets while leaving the new recruits none the wiser that weapons come in all sizes and patterns, but when utilized correctly can kill xenos and unfortunate bystanders who happened to have witnessed a Fallen all the same. An Astra Militarum issue demolition charge whose origin will definitely not be traced back to the chapter, if placed correctly, will destroy a Morkanaut that is intentionally left alone for some time, perhaps as a fabricated threat to the Deathwatch, or perhaps a test to mark recruits for potential Inner Circle induction just as well as an Astartes issue melta charge whose casing will definitely be traced backed to the chapter, ostentatiously displaying the bravery of our Chapter Hero to the Ordo Xenos.

The homeworld of the chapter has only reached hive world status in less then a millennia, thus its industrial output on the surface is not at its peak yet. The majority of the world is covered in a hostile, undeveloped junglethat hides the Inner Circle and main manufactorums constructed in cavernous, scan-shielded underground environments, after all. While the chapter may pretend to be short on war materials and combat experience compared to more established chapters, including the Dark Angels, their venerable progenitors which takes great interest in the chapter's Fallen hunting activities, thus supporting them with both materials and personnel, in time it will be rightfully known as the shield against the part fabricated, part real, all cultivated xenos threat throughout and beyond their subsector.

Target practice.

>>40411272

Local Splinter fleet is attacking our recruiting worlds, Deathwatch has been deployed to help destroy it. May also be cover to work closely with Deathwatch to infiltrate them and look for Fallen.

>>40411163
That was my first time writing any kind of Space Marine material, so it may contain too much Knights Inductor and too little Space Marines, and start to border on sue territory.

>>40411335
Playing as a Death's Shadows in deathwatch would be fun, no doubt.

>>40411375
Yeah, we should drop the IEDs, keep the heavy artillery.

>>40411381

The campaign you could run from that would be amazing! Imagine if one of the other members playing as a BlackShield turns out to be a Fallen.

>>40411375

Honestly it's all good. It is just IED's don't fit well with Space Marines, if it was an Imperial Guard Platoon we were making then would suit it really well.

>>40411408
Or a fellow kill team has a Fallen there under false heraldry.

>>40411451

That works better, I like the BlackShield idea personally as it means the Keepmaster or whatever it is called for the Deathwatch might know that they were a Fallen as all BlackShields have to report to them and explain why they wish to dedicate their life to Deathwatch.

>>40411555
Actually when a blackshield shows up at a Watch Fortress, they are almost never asked any questions. They are also almost never turned away.

>>40411435
I haven't played with the new Space Marine 'dex, but in 5th Edition minefields were an option Biker Scouts could use. So Marine IEDs are a thing.

>>40411633

I swear they have to be pretty much interrogated by the Keep Master as they have to forsake their previous chapter. Unless this is old fluff and i'm just not up to date?

>>40411679

A mine is different to an IED. A mine is purpose built and designed and often mass produced. An IED is made from whatever is lying about pretty much and is designed as a crude anti-personnel or armour. Mines can also be heavy ordnance.

>>40406548
Do we have to? We're knee deep in the things already. Little fuckers breed like rats.

>>40411679
Well I've got my Deathwatch Rulebook right here, and it says what I just said. It's a don't ask, don't tell situation.

We need fluff behind the glorious 4th Company. After a battle-brother from the 4th became legend, his company followed in his stead and began to gather laurels like rain in a storm.

Most Chapter's glory hails from those in 1st Company, but the Death's Shadows all look to the 4th for inspiration.

>>40411773
You're a little late for that mate.

>>40411726
The problem with that is that Space Marines do not scavenge. Heck, only techmarines of some skill would be able to rig them.

>>40411777

Ah I stand corrected then, i've got a Deathwtahc rulebook somewhere in my house but i'm stoned and not leaving my chair unless for nachos.

>>40411799

Exactly why I don't think IED's make sense for Space Marines.

Captain Beakie did survive inside an Ork WAAAGH!! for 2 years while entirely relying on scavenging because his supplies were cut off. But then again, this is an exception of the Astartes MO, otherwise his example won't be as famous. The chapter isn't really as desperate as the Crimson Fists either.

Then, keep the snipers, no assault squads, and replace references to IEDs with other non-astartes equipment such as heavy artillery, like in >>40411402 ?

>>40412088

Yeah if we were rolling Crimson Fisters it would fit right in but i'm assuming DA likes to keep it chapters well supplied in case sudden cases of the Fallen occur.
