Okay then, I will go with the space marines. Riorn needs to get a spin before he appears in my RPs anyway.

The Dragon Guard space marine chapter.

Hailing from the planet Ereges, the Dragon Guard are a fairly young chapter, founded at the start of the previous millennium. Their colours are bronze, with red shoulders and a black trim. Their symbol is (naturally) a black dragon coiled around a golden cross, its wings unfurled encompassing the whole of the top part of the emblem. At the bottom is traditionally printed these words: "Victoria de ore cladis", 'Victory from the jaws of defeat'. This is a big indicator of the chapter's history, for at their first true battle they were forced to do just that, when an elite strike team descended into the heart of a fleet of chaos ships and destroyed their capital ship, killing the commander, and scattering the other vessels in panic. The battle was then won within the hour, in both space and on the ground.

The Dragon Guard are famous for their ability to hold a single position for years without relief, they held onto the planet Ranosel V, in the wake of a massed Tyranid onslaught, until the Imperial fleet arrived, and the space marines were evacuated. Their defensive capabilities are second nearly to none, but neither are they lacking the power to assault with devastating power. Close combat is their chosen field of expertise, and this field they till well. Even the tactical marines are equipped with short swords, and an attack by the chapter's assault terminators, is something before which most foes cannot stand.

They are lead by chapter master Turvok, a veteran of many campaigns against a wide range of foes, both xeno and heretic alike. However, for this campaign the forces mobilised to the defence of the planet will under the command of captain Riorn, of the 5th company. He is a young, but highly skilled warrior and tactician, who is prepared to make complete sacrifice for his Emperor and the Imperium. He wields a power sword named perfidus homicida; traitor killer, and a wide assortment of long range weapons including a wrist mounted mini-melta.

In this campaign he will be leading his own company the 5th, as well as a detachment from the 7th company. This will place his numbers at about 120 battle brothers. His involvement in the campaign will be minor, as there is not a huge presence by the chapter. Vehicle support is fairly limited, with 2 units of predators, 1 of land speeders and a single land raider. As far as elite forces go, there are two terminator squads; one normal, one assault.

Apart from that, not much else to be said.
