Ok so I've been working on my own space marine chapter and would really appreciate some input to help me pound out the rough spots, here we go:
Chapter Name: Brotherhood of the Lost Angels (The Lost Angels for short.)
Chapter Colours: Vary based on company and squad
Chapter Symbol: Silver sword descending through a cream halo on a black background
Founding Chapter: Created with elements from multiple first founding legions
Founding: Unofficial
Oldest Records of Chapter: Declared Excomunicatom tratoris shortly after the events of the Horus Heresy
Chapter Master: [Not yet decided]
Chapter Homeworld: Space based, some asteroid bound installations
Estimated Strength: 500-600
So the idea behind the chapter is that it started with a group of marines who were stranded after the traitor attack against terra, trapped in a damaged ship they heard a transmission about the fall of the emperor and came to believe hee was dead, they managed to join up with other thranded marines, rescuing others from damaged vessels and such all eventually coming to agree that the emperor was dead, and when they finally made contact with the imperium again there were... disagreements, and they were declared traitors.
Since then they have survived as pirates while trying to follow the emperor's ideal of a galaxy with humanity at its head, mostly through fighting the enimies of humanity around the imperiums fringes where the IG and regular space marines rarely trouble themselves, though they have never really fallen to chaos, they have definate problems with mutation and gene seed degredation but without the direct influence of the imperium, particularly the mechanicus they have managed to make certain technological advancements, particularly in medical technology and actually reversed minor mutations.
the company breakdown goes as follows:
First company: Elite company (note that theyre are very few suits of terminator armor in the chapter and only two full terminator squads exist)
Second company: the tainted, marines with minor irriversable mutations still deemed accaptable for regular duty
Third and fourth companies: standard battle companies (mostly)
Fifth company: The redeemed, marines who have had mutation corrections (often includes the hacking off of limbs)
Sixth company: Assault reserves
Seventh company: Armored company, all tanks and vehicle crews
Eigth company: Devestator reserves, all heavy and special weapon specialists, sent out in full squads and as additions to tactical companies, each marine is charged with the maintenance of his own singal weapon
Ninth company: The Fallen, marines deemed too corrupt for regular service, similar to death company
Tenth company: Scouts, Due to varience from standerd imperial doctrine and lack of support recruitment presents a definate challange for the chapter, as such the tenth company is a combination of raw recruits and veteran scouts who have maintened this position to fill a required role for the chapter.
