Space Marine Chapter Articles

Storm Wolves
THe Storm Wolves are a recently-created Primaris Space Marine Successor Chapter made from the lineage of the feral and unforgiving Space Wolves. This Chapter was formed due to the need for more guns on the front for the Indominus Crusade and the spread of the massive warp rift, known as the Great Rift, across the length of the galaxy. Created with a new generation of the Space Wolves' geen-seed to try and lessen the effects of the 'Curse of Wulfen', they were sent to the world of Tyrheim, a relatively new planet discovered by the Imperium. They immediatley assumed command of the planet and began to turn it into a bastion against the enemies of the Imperium and deployed hundreds of their warriors to fight on the front, especially Armageddon.

Chapter History
Vorgai Grandfang was taken by Archmagos Cawl to become the newest generation of Adeptus Astartes on the order of Primarch Guilliman to improve and perfect the current transhuman warrior in service of The Emporer of Mankind. For 10 thousand years he and thousands of other citizens they were in stasis while Cawl perfected him and his future Primaris Astartes, during the Indominus Crusade alongside Guiliman they joined the rest of the Imperium's Military to drive Abbadon and his 13th Black Crusade back. After the end of the crusade Vorgai and his close friend Alvern Blackhammer merged their two designated chapters and set out to find a planet to call home. After finding Tyrheim Alvern went to Mars to become a War-Smith and was given the title of Master of the Forge, they then went about securing the sub-sector that Tyrheim was the centre of. They purged cultists, Orks (though they were driven back to a continent of the planet), Chaos Spawn and finally a Necron Tomb world which seriously damaged their numbers forcing them to focus on rebuilding, which wasn't too difficult given the people of Tyrheim were powerful and deadly warriors much like Fenris an it's people.

Chapter Homeworld
Tyrheim is a feudal death world who's people are tough, driven and deadly. The planet looks beautiful with rolling hills, amazing forests and stunning snow capped mountains but with a dark and bloody heart. The forests are filled with feral orks and deadly beasts and plants (with roughly 70-75% of all wild plants being toxic to all mamals save for Transhumans and certain greenskinned savages). The mountains are filled with rogue tribes of chaos cultists who are rarely anything but a annoyance but the mountains also hold deadly beasts who are the true masters of the snowy peaks.

The Storm Wolves helped the people established fortified cities using hive worlds as a basis but instead of packing everyone into cramped quarters they used the spire of the hive as the heart of the administration for the city while everyone else lived behind massive gun filled walls. For this the Chapter Master known as the Pack Master was named the king of the planet by the people cementing his role as planetary governor and defender of the sector.

Fortress-Monastery
The Wolf Den as it's known is build into one of the largest mountains in the northern hemisphere in the centre of the continent known as Vanar. It goes deep into the rock and dirt of the mountain with imposing metal doors at the end of the winding path designed to be a total kill-box against all attackers it's walls are covered in weapons and spikes to stop climbers who survive the hail of rockets, bolts, fire and lasers. Past the wall is a large courtyard which serves as the main outdoor training area for the marines and nephytes who call the fortress home. Looming over that courtyard is the main entrance to the Fortress-Monastery a towering door with various runes and carvings depicting the ancient gods of the world with the likeness of the emperor himself at the very top. The walls of thhe entrance has many slits for bolters and las-guns to poke out and rain all kinds of hell onto attackers with it's towers holding mortors.

Within the fortress past the gate and into the massive entrance hall with heroes of the planet's people as well as heroes and legends of the Chapter and Space Wolves are several side rooms with libaries, mess halls, indoor training rooms, small private temples and the several barracks needed to house the massive numbers of the chapter. Beyond these rooms past the entrance hall are the doors to The Forge, The Stables, The Armoury and the main temple ot the emperor and the other major gods of the planet. Beyond this area past larger more secure doors is the Chapter MAster's throne room and the dorms of the Honour Guard and leadership of the Chapter itself.

The Forge is where the tech-marines work on the equipment of the chapter and upgrade it when needed, here The MAster of the Forge works almsot endlessly working on new ideas he might have. The Forge itself is always hot and smell of molten metal, fire and the sweat of his assistants, it is also filled with servitors to handle the liquid metal and other dangerous componants.

The Stables are where the vehicles are stored and worked on by the tech-marines and their assistants. It is also where the Dreadnaught Armour is located and stored except The Chapter Master's armour who has it stored in his personal armoury, the stables itself isn't much different than other rooms used for the storage of vehicles used by other imperial factions.

The Armoury is the typical room you'd expect for a weapon storage. filled with rows and rows of weapons and explosives. This room also holds the entrance to the Relic Vault which itself is split into two rooms. The Armoury of Heroes where fallen brothers who fought with distinction and took down a powerful foe or large number of foes. The other room is The Armoury of the Damned where the weapons of worthy enemies are placed and sealed behind stasis fields and purity seals for the young future battle-brothers can view the accomplishments of those before them. The Armoury of Heroes is not as full as the main armoury of the Armoury of the Damned as it has proven quite hard for this new chapter's members to die.

Chapter Organisation
The Storm Wolves largely base their chapter of the natives of their home world and the Space Wolves. Much like their predecessor chapter they dislike the codex finding it far too confining preferring their own methods of war that work much better for their mindset and culture.

Command Ranks

 * Pack Master (Chapter Master): The highest rank of the chapter and has only had a single wolf to claim that title. The holder of this title is also king of the chapter's home world.
 * Pack Lord (Senior Captain): This rank is given to the leaders of the Battalions, these officers are given control over two companies of warriors and also control a continent of the home world as a High Jarl dealing with the administrative duties of the station.
 * Pack Chief (Captain): This rank leads a company and is filled by a skilled warrior and savvy tactician once given this title they also take the role of Jarl leading one of the select nations on the home world keeping the people of that nation safe from the feral ork raiders, chaos worshipping tribes and deadly beasts.
 * Shaman (Chief Librarian): This rank is the mystic leader of the chapter filling the role of chief librarians of other chapters. They are the keepers of the lore and master of the psychic arts which is referred to as magic. His also guard the volumes of knowledge within the fortress monastery and over see the training of future mystics within the chapter.
 * Lifekeeper (Chief Apothecary): The healer and virologist of the chapter. His role is to keep the other apothecaries trained and ready to keep the chapter fighting and ready.
 * Sky Guardians: Like the Space Wolves the Storm Wolves don't have a Master of the Fleet instead they have a council of captains of each battle barge with the captain of the chapter's flag ship being the head of this council to act in the place of Master of the Fleet each captain is actually a serf who in the past served with the imperial navy fleet in the Tyrheim sub-sector or former rogue traders they persuaded to join their chapter.
 * The Forge Master (Master of the Forge): The leading techmarine within the Chapter believed by the locals to be blessed by the smith god with his divine art of crafting weapons that can slay demons with ease. The bearer of this title is often seen helping with creating great monuments to fallen heroes or to the gods (Local versions The primarchs and The Emperor) along with forging custom weapons and armour for the heroes in the chapter still with them (and sometimes a particularly talented member of the imperial guard regiment).
 * The Grand Skald (High Chaplain): The spiritual leader of the chapter and keeper of tales and stories of the past. While other chapters have fear inducing members of similar roles The Storm Wolves have a warrior-poet who's words inspire courage and strength while instilling fear in their enemies. They still wear the black armour of a chaplain but do not inspire such fear amoung the people they meet due to the knowledge that when The Grand Skald or any other Skald under him they are going to hear a tale of heroes and monsters or a song to lift the spirits so they may keep pushing through the hard days of winter.


 * Huskarl (Lieutenant): The Pack Chief's second in command taked with being the will of The Pack Chief's intent and leading demi-companies into war. These men are picked for their potentual and attitude towards the other members of the chapter.

Junior Ranks

 * Hirdmen (Sergeant): The man tasked with leading a squad of battle-brothers into battle with a strong will and commanding presence within the 4-9 transhuman killing machines. Often leading from the front and often has the loudest voice in a crowd.

Specialist Ranks

 * The Varangian Kvern (Honour Guard): These marines are the 50 greatest warriors within the chapter armed with the artifacer armour and weapons, while traditionally used as bodyguards to The Chapter Master in other chapters within the imperium The Varangian Kvern, who's name means Noble Shield Guard in the Tyrheim dialect, are used as the enforcers of the Pack Master's will during important battles and campaigns. The current captain of this group of warriors is Markus Warfang a warrior of almost mythical status known as "The Avatar of War" amoung the people of Tyrheim and the chapter, armed with the Lycan-Fang artifacer power sword and the power axe known as The Howling Cleaver which were both forged shortly after the end of the indominus crusade to celebrate Markus' protmotion to captain of the 1st pack. When he became leader of The Varangian Guard he kept the blade and was issued with the Morkai Gauntlets specially made bracers with the visages of wolf heads hiding wrist mounted bolters within.


 * Alpha: These men are space marines who's skill at teaching and guiding means they are assigned to the Oathbound as officers and trainers to the future space marines. The way they are ranked is unique as well they are ranked by numbers the lowest rank is 5th Alpha and the highest being 1st Alpha.

Line Ranks

 * Hersir (Battleline): The battle-brothers who prefer mid-ranged combat are named Hersir the ancient Tyrheim term for archer who's shortbows allowed the armies of old to smash through weakened spots in their enemy's lines. Now clad in power armour and armed with the newest model of Bolter they act as the archers striking hard as they slowly advance and support the close range warriors along side those with heavier tools.
 * Aesir (Terror & Recon): These warriors prefer stealth and surprise over brute force and explosions, though they can fight with power. clad in specially made power armour and armed with close range Bolters and Bolt-Pistols they make their way into the enemy's heart and cut it out.
 * Berserker (Close Range Support): These are the jet packed warriors and battle-brothers who prefer to get in close with bolt-pistol and blade. These warriors are seen at the front charging into the enemy's frontline and smash head long ignoring the hail of fire they recive as they surge forward.
 * Vanier (Fire Support): These warriors are armed with massive guns that spew forth blasts of plasma at the enemy's tanks and transports or wade forward in bulkier power armour and blasting away with rapid firing bolters or sending forth streams of super hot fire.

Specialist Formations

 * The Oathbound: This formation is unique in the Chapter as they are made up of members of the ancient warrior-cults of Tyrheim followers of the war gods who protected the people till death. When the Storm Wolves arrived on the planet and took control of it The Oathbound sworn to fight alongside them becoming the training company where many of the Chapter's recruits go to prove their worth. Numbering in total roughly 5,000 men and women they rotate the candidates in and out of frontline combat after every campaign with those rotating out either becoming Battle-Brothers or waiting for the next campaign while dealing with the feral ork raiders and the monsterous wildlife of their homeworld. On Campaign they are used as scouts, working with Reivers, and also support troops for allies and the chapter often adding more guns to critical locations. The female members of The Oathbound often become trainers for the recruits or remain as Oathbound Officers within this unit, meaning a new recruit will follow the orders of possibly the most terrifying woman he would ever see which is useful for making sure these fresh recruits won't be scared by Chaos Daemons. This force are armed two ways the non-chapter recruits are armed with lasguns and other Imperial Guard weapons while the chapter recruits are armed with space marine equipment but also use weapons like rocket launchers, sniper rifles and various weapons used by the older chapters. They all wear Carapace Armour marked with personal heraldry on their left shoulder for the non-chapter members and the chapter's heraldry on the chapter recruits.
