I’m still new to this site and I wanted to post both my army list and maybe a background story on my army the "Phoenix Legion" I get good reviews on it from my friends so I wanted to know what the librarium community thought...
So without further a due I present my Legion of men
The Phoenix legion was formed shortly after the Armageddon war, Orks has torn through the planet and with all that was happening men were dying and retreating. But also there were incredible feats of heroism against orks that caught the eyes of many Imperial leaders. These men including many Steel Legion elites and commando teams formed by Commissar Yarrik to remove Ork war factories and other hardened structures. It was because of these amazing feats that some believed that ordinary men if trained properly and molded right they could be used to form a mighty space marine chapter.
So with this done a Chaplain known as Master Rexous, formed the bedrock of a legion created solely from elites taken from imperial armies from all around imperial space. Master Rexous began construction on his citadel and fortress training facility on a planet called Vendarren X, a Hive world belonging to an Inquisitor called Ueran Jecre. A rather large and pompous and barbaric Leader, he used it as a major Heavy metal mining world, through a series of “aggressive” negotiations the Inquisitor relinquished the world to the Legions future master and for 40 years he began constructing the ultimate fortress above and beneath the planet’s surface. Once constructed the Master Chaplain began having his men sent to the fortress word to sign their names to a Charter officially forming the Phoenix Legion.
After a grueling 3 year training program the new soldiers were then prepared for a DNA manipulation program that would combine the gene seed of a Marine with a basic human and hopefully creating a warrior worthy of the emperors glory. A great many Adeptus Mechanicus priests were needed for this, so the Master Chaplain ordered over 50 of the best Mechanical priests they could find to help with this. A great many applicants were found in the beginning decade's that theres were at any one time around 3,000 veteran guardsman making theri home on Vendarren X . Due to the hard and extremely dangerous training the guardsman went through it was plain to see that the Legion would be slow to grow and since most ordinary men didnt survive the DNA transformation it made it even more rare that the legion could have the 1,000 battle brothers that formed a chapter. So at the end of the 60th year of formation the chapter had only 100 Marines created and was still lacked veterans who could be used to train new recruits. This was to change soon…

From on board the High Overlord Yelkar’s “The Light Ender” Flag ship the Eclipse he plans his assault on the Hive world… “RAAAAAH!! Don’t tell me you fool that we can’t do it! If you do I swear to Tzeentch ill tear out your heart and feast on your corpse!” The lowly shell of a man that stood before the very angry chaos lord shook with fear and simply responded “th… th…the… Khorne berserkers you summoned to aide us are refusing to follow your orders, a…an...and the sorcerer’s are wanting sacrifice before the invasion….” All the chaos lord did was touch the man on the shoulder and respond “Fine… if they want blood, then blood they shall get….” The chaos lord then grabbed the man and using his unholy strength tore the limb from limb and dragged his body to his guard and yelled, “TELL THOSE DAMNED SORCERERS TO BE READY FOR INVASION TOMORROW!!”
