Thunder Guardians

"Are you ready to bring the thunder lads?"

- Chapter Master Kealgan Kurik, Battle of Orlrava Prime

The Thunder Guardians are Sworn defender of the Orlrava Sector, or the southern side of the galaxy. Besieged by Tyranids, Orks, Genestealers, Eldar of all kinds, Chaos, And more, there hope lies in unity with other factions of the imperium. There system being in a besieged state for much of its history, at the moment it is facing its worst yet. Aided by Gaurdsmen sisers of battle and Crimson fists, They may yet stand against the tide.

They chapter was founded during the recent Ultima Founding with their progenitor being the Imperial Fists. With the Imperial Fists' reputation of being great defenders the Thunder Guardians were sent to stand sentinel over the Orlrava Sector. When they arrived the system was under vicious assault by the the Orks. Slaying their way to the capital of Orlrava Prime, The Guardians were eventually successful. Their first Chapter Master, a grim man by the name of Alkalon Riehk, personally slew the Ork Warlord Turkgurl.

Multiple invasions followed through their history, Chaos invasions by Khorne daemons took the life of Chapter Master Duark and three captains. A moment of peace followed the Great Rift opening in which they launched many campaigns. One campaign featured an entire company of Space Marines attacking Sub-Sector Grealk, home of the Gretchin clans. Overwhelmed, the Space Marines underestimated the amount of resistance, and one entire company was destroyed. They other was lost in Cadia. Some successful missions were then sent to relieve the Crimson Fists Chapter homeworld, known as Rynn's World, of a massive daemonic invasion.

The men of this chapter are grim, and master tacticians. They are masters of the tactic Steel Rain and use it in defense of Valuable forts. Defense is not all they are good at, however. They are also good at siege warfare. Because of there close distance to a forge world they have many helpful war machines. They are sworn to defend there sector at all cost, and so are able to put down their pride to work with others. As their name may suggest they defend with all the power and fury of a raging storm.

They have a holiday to celebrate the day of founding, Riehk Day, in which each company will set off to a different location under siege. Whoever defeats the siege faster gets the Riehk Cape, A flowing cape with the symbol of the guardians on it.
