*'''Cleansing of Salinas (Unknown Date.M41)''' - At an uncertain time in Imperial history, the Sons of Guilliman battled the [[Forces of Chaos]] on the world of Salinas. The exact nature of the [[Chaos]] forces is uncertain, but the Salinas records make mention of armoured warriors who could bend reality, and red-fleshed beasts that could swallow a man whole (these seem to bear a striking resemblance to the Unfleshed who later assaulted the capital city of Salinas). The records tell of a great battle near the city of Khaturian, where the Sons of Guilliman's force was completely wiped out. Later, a force of other [[Astartes]] described as, "''giants in silver armour who smote the vile foe with lightning and faith''," (presumably [[Grey Knights]]) came to the world and, after cleansing it, took the remains of the lost Sons of Guilliman back to their Chapter. However, 19 fallen warriors, along with their [[Power Armour]], were buried under a collapsed building, and their bodies were only uncovered decades later. It should be noted that one such suit was worn briefly by [[Uriel Ventris]] of the [[Ultramarines]]. After restoring one of the Mk VI suits to full functionality, Captain Ventris wore this suit to combat the Unfleshed. All of the suits were eventually returned to the Sons of Guilliman, with Ventris' suit declared a Chapter relic.

*'''The Siege of Lakadamon (953.M33)''' - The Sons of Guilliman, alongside several Tekarn armoured regiments of the [[Astra Militarum]] were besieged in the defence of the [[Hive World]] of Lakadamon by the hordes of the [[Ork]] [[Warboss]] Vorhgad Bloodfang. Despite vastly overwhelming odds, the Chapter successfully held the planet's defence for three Terran years until the siege was broken by the combined forces of the [[Night Reapers]] and [[War Bearers]] [[Chapter]]s, fighting alongside a major taskforce from Battlefleet Tempestus to break the orbital blockade that encircled the beleaguered world.
*'''Third War for Armageddon''' '''(999.M41)''' - The Sons of Guilliman participated in the [[Third War for Armageddon]], committing 6 companies to the conflict against the massive [[Ork]] WAAAGH! of [[Ghazghkull Thraka]].

*'''Judgement of Hellenus (801.M41)''' - [[Inquisitor]] [[Hector Rex]] assumed direct control over the entire 279th Assault Armada of the [[Imperial Navy]] and ordered the [[mutant]] population of Hellenus purged for crimes against genetic purity. At the height of this purge, a combined strike force consisting of [[Space Marines]] form the Sons of Guilliman, the [[Iron Lords]] and the [[Skull Bearers]] [[Chapter]]s was gathered together to confront the mutant abominations holding the enemy capital. During this confrontation, the Iron Lords contingent became tainted by the mutants' hideous gene-taint, forcing their fellow Space Marines to purge them as well.

However, the Cemetery World had been invaded by the [[Black Legion]] [[Sorcerer]] Ygethmor, who had begun a ritual to drag Certus Minor into the Warp. Even as the captain and his company fought the Sorcerer's forces, Ygethmor's ritual opened a [[Warp rift]] that threatened to swallow the Cemetery World whole. To make matters worse, due to being his promity to the Warp, Karch gained the ability to use psychic powers, but also began to hear the voices of daemons who sought to corrupt him.

Once the carnage had ended, Constantinius appeared before the crowd and announced the [[Emperor]] and His minions had turned him into such a monster, and Constantinius vowed to lead the people of Nova Terra to freedom. Constantinius and his followers started a bloody rebellion against the [[Imperium of Man]], setting himself up as the planet's ruler after overthrowing the Imperial governor and renaming the world Constantinium. After amassing a sizeable army of renegades, traitors and [[Chaos Space Marines]], Constantinius and his forces rampaged into neighbouring systems, initiating a war that lasted for thirteen years and ravaged the entire sector until a sizeable Imperial force (including three Space Marine Chapters, twelve regiments of the [[Imperial Guard]] and agents of the [[Ordo Hereticus]]) were mustered to drive his armies back.

Finding himself surrounded by hundreds of Ork Dreadnoughts, [[Stompa]]s and [[Killa Kan]]s, Fabian tapped into the [[Warp]] and summoned gigantic empyric fists to crush the Ork walkers clanking towards him.

Revision as of 19:49, 27 September 2019

The Sons of Guilliman is a Codex Astartes-compliant Space Marines Chapter and a proud Successor Chapter of the Ultramarines, founded sometime during the 33rd Millennium.

It gained infamy as the parent Chapter to the Chaos Space Marine warband known as Adharon's Reavers, a Renegade group unrelated to their current actions.

Hailing from the desert-ringed Death World of Praesidia, the Sons of Guilliman have a chequered past. Whispers persist that more than one of their number has fallen to the temptations of Chaos in the past, and the Chapter has a reputation for rash or wilful conduct bordering on Codex divergence.

They fight all the harder to prove themselves worthy of their prestigious name, however, and have won many great victories.

  • The Siege of Lakadamon (953.M33) - The Sons of Guilliman, alongside several Tekarn armoured regiments of the Astra Militarum were besieged in the defence of the Hive World of Lakadamon by the hordes of the Ork Warboss Vorhgad Bloodfang. Despite vastly overwhelming odds, the Chapter successfully held the planet's defence for three Terran years until the siege was broken by the combined forces of the Night Reapers and War Bearers Chapters, fighting alongside a major taskforce from Battlefleet Tempestus to break the orbital blockade that encircled the beleaguered world.
  • Cleansing of Salinas (Unknown Date.M41) - At an uncertain time in Imperial history, the Sons of Guilliman battled the Forces of Chaos on the world of Salinas. The exact nature of the Chaos forces is uncertain, but the Salinas records make mention of armoured warriors who could bend reality, and red-fleshed beasts that could swallow a man whole (these seem to bear a striking resemblance to the Unfleshed who later assaulted the capital city of Salinas). The records tell of a great battle near the city of Khaturian, where the Sons of Guilliman's force was completely wiped out. Later, a force of other Astartes described as, "giants in silver armour who smote the vile foe with lightning and faith," (presumably Grey Knights) came to the world and, after cleansing it, took the remains of the lost Sons of Guilliman back to their Chapter. However, 19 fallen warriors, along with their Power Armour, were buried under a collapsed building, and their bodies were only uncovered decades later. It should be noted that one such suit was worn briefly by Uriel Ventris of the Ultramarines. After restoring one of the Mark VI suits to full functionality, Captain Ventris wore this suit to combat the Unfleshed. All of the suits were eventually returned to the Sons of Guilliman, with Ventris' suit declared a Chapter relic.

  • Return of Honour (965.M41) - Captain Uriel Ventris of the Ultramarines 4th Company returned 19 sets of Mark VI Corvus Pattern Power Armour from Salinas lost by the Sons of Guilliman during the Salinas conflict. Uriel and his Sergeant Pasanius Lysane discovered the armour when searching the Gallery of Antiquities on Salinas, while returning to Ultramar from their Death Oath.
  • Third War for Armageddon (999.M41) - The Sons of Guilliman participated in the Third War for Armageddon, committing 6 companies to the conflict against the massive Ork WAAAGH! of Ghazghkull Thraka.
