Attention all Lamenters, hark brothers for I bring ill tidings. It is I, Malakim Phoros your chapter master. Brothers, we have been abandoned. Our brother chapter, the Mortificators have left the system, refusing to fight by the side of a chapter of the 21st founding. They declare us cursed, and their morbid warriors refuse to aid us, even when the archenemy bears down upon the planet Corillia, their superstition has driven them away. Now you ask if we to shall leave, as we will soon be outnumbered and outgunned, in a fight equivalent to one against ten thousand. No brothers, we will not run. We, proud sons of Sanginius, the first of his progeny to be free of the Black rage and Red thirst, do not run from any enemy! Let them come! We will defend the people of Corillia as the Emperor has commanded of us! For those we cherish, we die in glory!
This RP takes place during Abbadons 9th black crusade in M.39. We are space marines in the Lamenters, a progenitor chapter of the blood amgels. A little background on the Lamenters
At the time of their creation during the 21st, so called "Cursed founding", they were the first progenitors of the blood angels that were free of the mutations of the Black rage and Red thirst, and therefore lauded by the other chapters spawned from Sanginius's gene seed. However, they were plagued by what could only be described as Galactic bad luck. This is one of their first doomed campaigns
Originally paired with the Mortificators and tasked with the defence of the populated world of Corillia, they decided to remain even after the Mortificators abandoned them, the siege of the world by the Black legion would end when a relief force of other chapters arrived to drive them off. The Lamenters ended the campaign with only 200 battle brothers left, all of whom were wounded.
We would be Lamenters from the beginning, and if everything goes well, to the end of the defence of Corillia.
Anyone interested?
