Revision as of 18:51, 27 September 2019

Chapter History

There are none more battle-hungry than the Storm Reapers, the first Primaris Chapter founded from Jaghatai Khan's gene-seed. In them runs the purest of blood distilled from the legendary Primarch.

The Khan would be proud of his newest sons -- for they are wise and noble, but on the attack they fight with a passion he would recognise as his own.

They have claimed the Feral World of Jagun for their home planet, the natives of which are known for their savagery.

Notable Campaigns

Brimstone Stampede (Unknown Date.M42) - Alongside the Grey Knights 2nd Brotherhood, the Storm Reapers stopped the Bloodthirster Xakros'Ka after his Brimstone Stampede emerged from the newborn Great Rift and killed trillions of Imperial citizens across the Carricus Sector. While the Storm Reapers launched lightning assaults into the flank of Xakros'Ka's mighty horde, the sons of Titan struck at its heart. Armed with the Bloodthirster's true name, the Grey Knights destroyed Xakros'Ka's physical form, but the victory came at a hideous cost.
War of Beasts (Unknown Date.M42) - The Storm Reapers sent 2 demi-companies to serve alongside the White Scars who deployed to the strategically vital world of Vigilus.

Chapter Appearance

Chapter Colours

The Storm Reapers' Chapter primarily wear white Power Armour. Their backpack, as well as the Aquila or Imperialis worn on the chest guard is black.

Like their Progenitors, the Storm Reapers also base their Chapter iconography on the imagery used by the barbarian tribes from which they are recruited.

This usually takes the form of jagged lightning bolt designs painted onto their armour and helms, echoing the ritual scarification applied to the flesh beneath.

In addition, the Storm Reapers display their company markings on their left knee plate or greaves as opposed to their shoulder pauldrons. The knee plate is typically black, while the lightning iconography is white.

The black squad specialty symbol on the right shoulder pauldron indicates squad specialty -- battleline, close support, fire support, Veteran or command -- while the Chapter iconography is proudly displayed on the left shoulder pauldron.

A white High Gothic numeral stenciled on the squad specialty symbol indicates squad number.

Chapter Badge

The Storm Reapers' Chapter badge is the profile of a large, black, double-bladed battleaxe, with two red lightning bolts striking diagonally downwards, centred on a field of white.

-The '''Storm Reapers''' is a Loyalist [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]] comprised entirely of [[Primaris Space Marines]], created from the lineage of the [[White Scars]] and raised during the [[Ultima Founding]] of 999.M41. These supreme transhuman warriors were created by order of [[Roboute Guilliman]], the recently resurrected [[Primarch]] of the [[Ultramarines]], who had tasked [[Tech-priest|Archamagos Dominus]] [[Belisarius Cawl]] with crafting a legion of new transhuman warriors to serve as Humanity's last line of defence following the [[Horus Heresy]]. Even then, Guilliman foresaw a time of encroaching darkness when [[Chaos]] would threaten the [[galaxy]] itself. These gene-crafted warriors are intended to protect the [[Imperium of Man]] against the gathering darkness from Chaos, [[xenos]] and the myriad threats that threaten the Imperium on all sides. They are the key components of the resurrected Primarch's [[Indomitus Crusade]] to reclaim the [[galaxy]] for [[Mankind]].

 ==Chapter History==
+[[File:StormReapersKhol.jpg|thumb|250px|Storm Reapers Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by [[Primaris Marine]] Battle-Brother Khol, 4th Company, 5th Squad (battleline).]]
-For ten millennia, Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl has been working on a task set for him by the Primarch Roboute Guilliman before he was mortally wounded by the [[Daemon Primarch]] [[Fulgrim]] in the days after the Horus Heresy: a new legion of transhuman warriors. Developed on orders from Guilliman 100 standard centuries past, Primaris Space Marines were diligently developed and perfected by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus|Priesthood]] of [[Mars]] during the long intervening millennia. As an optimist, but never a fool, Guilliman learned from the mistakes of the Horus Heresy, and he foresaw that the [[Forces of Chaos]] would never relent in their aim to bring the Imperium low. He anticipated that devastating times would once again engulf the galaxy and knew that warriors resilient enough to stand against them would be needed as never before. That time has surely come. Now, as the [[Imperium of Man]] is poised on the brink of annihilation at the hands of Chaos, his task is at last complete.

+The Khan would be proud of his newest sons -- for they are wise and noble, but on the attack they fight with a passion he would recognise as his own.
-The Primaris Space Marine is a new breed of hero for this, the darkest age in the Imperium's history. These new warriors are the next step in the evolution of the [[Emperor]]'s [[Space Marines|Angels of Death]] -- genetically altered from their brethren to be bigger, stronger and faster -- timely reinforcements for the Imperium's armies as their enemies close in for the kill in the wake of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]]'s [[13th Black Crusade]] and the birth of the [[Great Rift]] dividing the Imperium in two.
+They have claimed the [[Feral World]] of [[Jagun]] for their home planet, the natives of which are known for their savagery.
-To aid them in battle, these gene-forged warriors are equipped with new arms and armour forged on [[Mars]] itself, such as the Mark X Tacticus Pattern [[Power Armour]] worn by the Primaris Space Marine [[Intercessor]]s, which combines the most effective elements of ancestral Horus Heresy patterns of battle-plate with more recent developments in Power Armour technology; the Mark II Cawl Pattern [[Bolter]], the archetypal firearm of the Adeptus Astartes, now re-engineered, re-crafted and perfected, and [[Redemptor Dreadnought]]s.
+===Notable Campaigns===
-At the dawn of the [[Indomitus Crusade]] to retake the Imperium from the advancing armies of Chaos and xenos alike, [[Lord Commander of the Imperium]] Roboute Guilliman has gathered his new armada, along with elements of the [[Adeptus Custodes]], a small contingent of the [[Silent Sisterhood]] and a vast war host of Primaris Space Marines as he fights to liberate the scattered bastions of the Imperium. Some, Guilliman has forged into new Space Marine Chapters, whole brotherhoods comprised only of these new transhuman warriors. Others he has offered to the existing Space Marine Chapters. Many [[Chapter Master]]s have welcomed their Primaris brethren into their ranks, accepting the new reinforcements gladly. Others, though, view these new creations with suspicion or outright hostility, claiming that the Emperor's work should never have been meddled with by mere mortals.

While the Storm Reapers launched lightning assaults into the flank of Xakros'Ka's mighty horde, the sons of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] struck at its heart.

+*'''[[War of Beasts]] (Unknown Date.M42)''' - The Storm Reapers sent 2 demi-companies to serve alongside the White Scars who deployed to the strategically vital world of [[Vigilus]].
-Though they are a step removed from their brothers, the Primaris Space Marines still bear the [[gene-seed]] of their Primarchs, and some dissenting voices worry how this new type of warrior will react with the known genetic quirks and flaws of some of the more unusual Chapters, such as the [[Blood Angels]] and the [[Space Wolves]]. Though the Primaris Space Marines offer new hope to a besieged Imperium, the future remains a dark and uncertain place...
