Alright you heretical fucks, let's have another one of these with all the Chaos infecting the catalog. Somebody start us off by rolling a 1d10 for why we were Founded.
Rolled 6 (1d10)

Alright, we're a counter to some threat. Let's use the enemies relation table to find out who we're supposed to curbstomp the shit out of first. Roll 1d100.
Rolled 79 (1d100)
>>45262475
C'mon Tyranids, paladins fighting dragons ftw.
>>45262645
I CAN FEEL THE EMPEROR OVERTAKING ME
IT IS A GOOOOD PAIN.
We were created to kick the absolute shit out of some scum-sucking Daemon Prince/Greater Daemon.
Let's diverge more again. Roll 1d5 to find out which Chaos Alignment we're supposed to purge.
>1 is Khorne
>2 is Tzeentch
>3 is Nurgle
>4 is Slaanesh
>5 is Chaos Undivided
Rolled 3 (1d5)
>>45262705
FOR CHAOS
>>45262734
Alright, our Chapter was founded to beat some Nurgle Daemon Princeling senseless, now back to normal tables. When was our chapter founded? Roll 1d100.
Rolled 96 (1d100)
>>45262773
Hope we aren't too old. Taking down a Deamon prince shouldn't take more than a few centuries.
>>45262869
I've forgotten how to do the roll function. please remind me.
>>45262911
"dice+1d100" in the options field
>>45262973
thank you
>>45262869
Unknown. We just popped out of the Mechanicum's arsehole at some forgotten point of history.
Next up is the Primogenitor, roll 1d100, anybody who rolls <=50 gets shot.
Rolled 94 (1d100)
>>45263078
C'mon good primarch.
>>45263164
WOO
WE'RE RAVEN GUARD BABY
Unfortunately we aren't as well equipped as the Dark Angels or as cool as the White Scars, but WE AREN'T ULTRAMARINES, HURRAH.
Now roll 1d10 for geneseed purity.
Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>45263321
Here's hoping major geneseed fuckups
>>45263440
Never say dreams don't come true
>>45263440
WE'RE FUCKIN PURE
AND RAVEN GUARD
I don't give a fuck about belief rules, the Emperor is a capital G God and we worship the fuck out of him. We worship him so hard we produce a brown note to fight traitors on our voxes.
Now roll 1d10 for Chapter demeanor.
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>45263582
Please don't be total dicks, please don't be total dicks!
>>45263612
We uphold the Honor of the Emperor of Mankind. CHIVALRY HO
But not everybody is perfect, so let's roll 1d10 for our Flaw.
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>45263730
>>45263759
Faith in suspicion, we hate some cunts in the Imperium and they hate us back. We hate them so much we won't even work with the assholes.
Let's roll on the friendly relations table to see what Imperial institution we loath. Roll 1d100.
Rolled 73 (1d100)
>>45263812
>>45263838
We hate the guts of some Guard Regiment(s) from a specific planet. We can fluff that up later.
Now, roll one d100 to see what our Chapter Legend is.
Rolled 14 (1d100)
>>45263906
>>45263935
A Battle Brother from the Raven Guard itself or some previous Raven Guard successor who provided his geneseed to start our Chapter is our figure of Legend. Roll 1d100 on the same table so we can find out who exactly he was.
Rolled 27 (1d100)
>>45264003
>>45264052
Wow. The former Chapter Master personally stepped up and left the Chapter he was the head of to forge us. I feel honored.
Roll 1d100 to see what our badass Grandpa did to gain notoriety.
Rolled 33 (1d100)
>>45264179
That's pretty neato burrito.
Rolled 39 (1d100)
>>45264179
Maybe he kicked that Daemon's ass.
>>45264201
>>45264203
Oh shit
Looks like he completed the mission before it even began, or started it by banishing the Daemon Prince, and tasking us with its destruction when it returns from damnation.
Now, roll 1d100 for the Homeworld.
Rolled 29 (1d100)
>>45264334
>>45264357
Home sweet home, the Hive shithole. Oh well, maybe there's some nice clouds above all the fucking smog.
1d100 for the terrain.
Rolled 44 (1d100)
>>45264426
>>45264442
Ice ice baby.
While we're freezing our balls off here, roll 1d10 for how we rule the Hive World.
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>45264526
Rolled 1 (1d10)
>>45264526
Look here! I am the captain now!
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>45264526
We are the sons of a most righteous shadow. We are the fathers of a brilliant cleansing light. We are the brothers of the faithful. We are the enemies of the unclean.
Like the frozen Barrens of our crowded world we offer no mercy to the unclean, and to the heretic. But for the loyal child of the Emperor, no greater love can we bestow than our protection.
>>45264584
>>45264585
>>45264587
9+1+4=14/3=5
Distant rule. We're either on the moon of the Hive World or in the highest spire, and swoop down to abduct children in vans.
Now, roll 1d10 for chapter organization.
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>45264917
Rolled 8 (1d10)
>>45264917
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>45264917
>>45264939
>>45264959
>>45264989
10+8+3=21/3=7
So we told the Ultramarines to go fuck themselves to some degree and have divergent organization.
Now roll 1d10 for combat doctrine
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>45265086
Rolled 3 (1d10)
>>45265086
Rolled 6 (1d10)
>>45265086
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>45265086
You know, if you keep averaging instead of keeping the first, we're going to be getting only the mid-range numbers.
>>45265355
Truth. Now hurry up so I can fluff and writefag
>>45265094
>>45265114
>>45265288
>>45265355
So how do we want to do this then brothers? If we're going by the first response it's terror, averaged it's drop pod, or there's always lotto.
>>45265530
Terror seems to fit with our chapter so far.
>>45265530
I like Terror.
Let's keep average in reserve and at the end we can choose one result to take the average instead (so long as it won't change any other results) or choose to keep what we have.
>>45265599
>>45265619
Terror it is then, right and proper Knights of Corax we are.
Moving on, roll 1d100 for special equipment as we're divergent and not cookie-cutter Ultra assholes.
Rolled 6 (1d100)
>>45265658
>>45265688
Traditional weapon. We favor something a bit vanilla over more specialized shit like custom jump packs.
I recommend grav gun, because for terrorism there's nothing more frightening than seeing timmy implode.
>>45265726
Is that it or do we summary now and start a-fluffin'?
>>45265766
No there's more. Somebody needs to roll a 1d100 for chapter beliefs.
Rolled 13 (1d100)
>>45265868
Rolled 23 (1d100)
>>45265868
>>45265922
>>45265929
Ha, doesn't matter this time. We revere Corvus Corax and worship our Primarch.
Now, let's roll a 1d10 to see how many battle brothers there are to kick the shit out of chaos and send them packing for the Eye.
Rolled 9 (1d10)
>>45266038
Rolled 10 (1d10)
>>45266038
Training...
>>45266111
FUCK YO ROLL
>>45266113
HUZZAH FOR MINI LEGION
Now we roll a 1d100 to see whose bro-tier with us despite possibly not being Astartes.
Rolled 96 (1d100)
>>45266166
Rolled 48 (1d100)
>>45266166
Rollin'.
>>45266208
We're friends with a Rogue Trader.
Pirate knights?
Pirate knights.
Rolled 64 (1d100)
>>45266254
Rogue Traders aren't necessarily pirates, but they can totally get us some stuff on the down low for our jobs.
>>45266278
Ssssh
Pirate. Knights.
>>45266316
Technically, Privateer Knights.
>>45266316
Doesn't sound very loyal to me. That's what the Red Corsairs were.
>>45266347
It's loyal if we're commandeering Nurglite shit-stained ships to be sanctified and re-purposed.
>>45266402
Ew, god. You put those into the sun. You can't sanctify heresy.
>>45266420
Brother, do not doubt the work what a flamer and megaliters of promethium can do.
>>45266402
My Emperor, we're the Loyalist versions of the CSM Thread
>>45266514
Or maybe they're our enemies.
>>45266514
The difference is that not only are we loyal, we're chivalrous as fuck while doing so.
>>45266558
The "Knights Raven," is that name taken?
>>45266558
>>45266616
And can we get a summary post unless there's more?
>>45266616
Or the Knights of Nevermore, for maximum cheesiness. Call our hive world Nevermore.
>>45266657
Oh jeeze, no.
>>45266639
>>45266616
>>45266657
Summary post before we decide on a name.
>>45266694
I'm sure the chaplain is hard at work.
>>45266694
PREPARE YOURSELVES BROTHERS
>>45262475
>>45262705
>>45262773
We exist to murder the shit out of some Nurgle Daemon Prince and all his cronies.
>>45263078
We don't know when we were created.
>>45263321
We're Raven Guard.
>>45263582
We're fuckin pure with no defects (lolwut).
>>45263730
Our demeanor is to uphold the Emperor's honor, IE chivalrous.
>>45263812
>>45263906
We hate some random guard cunts.
>>45264003
>>45264179
>>45264334
Our founder who provided our geneseed was either the Chapter Master of the Raven Guard itself or a successor, who then stepped down to found us. He's famed for punching a Daemon Prince back into the warp.
>>45264426
>>45264526
>>45264917
Our homeworld is a Hive Ice-World, which we rule distantly and may as well be a legend.
>>45265086
Our Chapter organization is divergent from the norm.
>>45265658
We specialize in being 2spooky4me
>>45265726
We diverge from the Codex due to favoring a certain weapon. I suggest grav for spooky implosions.
>>45266038
We revere our Primarch Corvus Corax.
>>45266166
I say we're a mini legion, cause fuck tha codex.
>>45266254
Friends with a Rogue Trader
>>45266669
lol. It's just as ridiculous as most of GW's hilarious lore. That's why I suggested it.
>>45266956
I suggest Frost Giants. We're eight foot tall behemoths from an ice-world that randomly abduct children and go on whacky adventures after all.
>>45266924
>>45267059
I do like the idea of this chapter being organized as some sort of ghostly privateers, cleansing the spaceways of Nurgle's scurvy filth. We could play around with the Flying Dutchman mythos and such that way.
>>45267158
Okay, now that's a better idea right there.
>>45267158
>Friends with a Rogue Trader
Because he shares our sense of style and panache!
SWASHBUCKLING, AHOY!
POWER SABERS AND BRACES OF OVERCHARGED PLASMA PISTOLS!
HIGH ADVENTURE AWAITS ON THE ROILING CURRENTS OF THE EYE OF TERROR!
now for the name I'm feeling the name Knights of Corvus anyone else?
>>45267389
>>45267538
Huh. Knights of the Raven are already a thing.
>>45267538
>>45267578
Maybe a Painted Sash of colour?
The odd thing out are those Guard enemies of ours. Maybe...
>Chapter and Guard unit cross paths some time in the past
>Chapter boards Guard transports, are greeted with honor
>bunch of the Guardsmen turn out to have some plague of Nurgle's
>Chapter decides to toss the infected overboard
>Guard officers are reluctant, as there are so many infected they'd basically render themselves combat-ineffective
>Chapter is like, "Appreciate your loyalty, bros, but also fuck it."
>forcibly cleanse the vessel, with all the terrific terror-inducing tactics they're famous for
>story becomes legend, Guard is pissed, vows never to forget the transgression
>native merchants and other spacegoers from the Guard unit's homeworld as well as the Guardsmen themselves regularly prey on the Chapter's merchants when they encounter one another
>Chapter is rightfully pissed, but knows that igniting a civil war is antithetical to both the Emprah and their founders, and so they wage a cold war on the their foes, regularly staging (non-lethal, but disruptive) ambushes on civilian shipping
>tales of ghostly vessels appearing in their space keep the Guard guys and their people too scared to really do anything, and stasis is thus maintained
>>45267647
No.
How's about Frost Talons for a name?
>>45268071
YES
>>45268071
>>45268071
I like. Perhaps the chapter sigil is a trio of jagged icicle-claws?
>>45268071
Yes
>>45268216
What program/website are you using to make the space marines on the images?
I'm new to 40K and I am interested in using it.
>>45268228
Or like a boat anchor with sharp, piercing barbs on the ends?
>>45268448
> Frost Talons
> Anchor symbol
What?
>>45268818
Had pirates on the brain
>>45268836
And now you've got me thinking of a Jolly Roger but with talons as their sigil.
>>45268870
I was on board with
>>45268228
Fear wielding Raven Guard descendants from an Ice World. Makes sense to me.
>>45268071
I feel like this is focusing too much on the icy homeworld aspect. Everything else has them pinned as sneaky knights that fucking hate chaos/the unclean.
