Velomus is an expert with the bolter, he is only slightly more accurate than his his brothers, but knows every intimacy of the Astartes' trademark weapon. He understands that well placed and dispersed target elimination can make ten kills cause a hundred foes to flee. He has perfected ammunition consumption such that he somehow always has a full magazine when one is needed.

Relic Bearer Temadyl only became a space marine at the age of 34, usually too old for the transformation, however the bio magos found that he was in a fit physical state and he was an incredible warrior even as a mere human, so the operation was authorised.
He only just made it. The medical complications were immense, a normal human would have died, but not he. Now a taught skinned wreck of a man, battle brother Temadyl fights with the fervour of one trying to attone for a percieved failure. Such is his Rage that the Chaplaincy have been exceeding their jurisdiction to investigate his mental state.

Despite being a warrior above all things brother Cassius also has a Penchant for poetry, and in his two hundred and twenty year service he has filled many a book with devotional scripture for the Grand Library on Honous. He bears his finest work on his shoulder pad, and often recites it to his brother before battle.

Relic Bearer Aleyxus considers it his duty to safeguard his brother's faith in lieu of a Chaplain. In the Macabre interior of the Lodge's Razorback before battle, Aleyxus soothes the rest of the lodge into a calm and meditative state, as they contemplate the battle ahead. In this state Guardians of the casket go to war, with steely resolve and inhibited rage.

Lodge Master Temior

Lodge Master Temior replaced Lodge master Menimon after his death in the Greevston Campaign against the Tyranids. After inheriting his predecessor and mentor's title Temior engaged a brood of synapse creatures to reclaim Menimon's armour, although his biomass had already been harvested.
The armour now stands in the hall of heroes on Honous, but Lodge Master Temior wields The blades from Menimon's lightning claw on his bolter as a mark of respect.

Finally! Models!

Guardians Of the Casket
In the Bloodbane space marine legion the exists a number of warrior lodges which are endorsed by the Master. The three largest of these are permitted to select fifteen warriors to act outside of the general organisation of the legion and form part of the Second, or Champion's company. The Guardians of the casket bear in to battle the casket containing the seven thousand year old ashes of the entire third company who were incinerated by their own treacherous Captain, as the Daemon that he had allowed into his soul were released and rampaged through the third company's strike cruiser, Daedalus, killing all on board. It took the entire Bloodbane Librarium and three companies to cleanse Daedalus of foul Chaos taint.

Bloodbane chapter background

Here is some background for my Bloodbane legion of space marines, one of the missing legions. This is a completed version.

History of the Bloodbane chapter

Alium Destrus is one of the Primarchs who was expunged from all Imperial records along with his legion. During the Horus heresy he and his loyal warriors fought heroically against their treacherous brethren. After the heresy Alium had his Tech-adepts and bio-magi work night and day trying to find a way to return the Emperor to his pre-heresy glory.

After many decades they found a way to do this, they discovered that a huge psycic outcry could cause the rejuvenation of the God-Emperor and even boost his phycic abilities such that he could maintain the Astronomican single handedly. Such a huge outcry would require billions of people to create, so Alium explained his plan to the Ecclesiarchy. But the recently appointed lords of Terra did not want the Emperor back, they wished to rule in his stead so they declared Alium and his chapter heretical.

The Bloodbane chapter found itself beset on all sides by zealous new second founding chapters, eager to prove themselves in the fires of battle. Unable to defeat such an outnumbering foe the Bloodbane fled to the group of stars known as the wings of Sanguinis. The chapter was duly expunged from imperial records and the wings of Sanguinis were classified as dangerous and inhabited by the hyper-violent Barghesi making them an ‘avoid at all costs’ area for starship captains.

Since then the Bloodbane chapter has carved out a small empire for themselves, but they still strive tirelessly towards restoring the Emperor as leader of mankind. After a few generations the high lords of Terra became ignorant of the Bloodbane's existence, only the space marines of the Iron Lords chapter who guard the Grendl stars, as they are now known, are aware of the Bloodbane. The Bloodbane today have their work cut out fending off hive fleet Kraken and controlling their own empire, but still they send companies out to Imperial words to support planetary govornors who are under attack, where ancient oath or decency demand it.
