Has there been any mention of the "deleted" Space Marine Chapters from the First Founding? Has there been any mention at all about them? Were they eradicated or did they just die out during the Horus Heresy? I just wanted to know.
No, they were from the cursed founding (21st).Originally posted by Dark_Epsilon@Jun 9 2004, 14:39
arent the firehawks one of em (aka legion of the dammed)?
I think he is talking about in fluff, not real life. In fluff, Adeptus Sororitas are far from Space Marines, and were not even around when the Primarchs lived.Originally posted by justwill@Jun 10 2004, 12:21
Yeah but they already have a female (kinda) space marine chapter with the sisters of battle and as they just re-did their army list I doubt they would make a space marines army so similar. Really good idea though, they might use it in the future.
I stopped reading White Dwarf a while ago, but I am very much familiar with the background of the Sororitas (was around when they first became a credible army in 2nd Edition). I am a bit confused, however, as to what you are getting at... :huh:Originally posted by justwill@Jun 11 2004, 13:46
(Replying to LR Series III) oh yeah, the adeptus soroitas were formed to be the bodyguard of that insane High Lord Vandire in the Age of Apostasy. If you read the Liber Sororitas in WD293 you wil know what I'm talking about.
Do you know where the stuff about all that is? It sounds vaguely familiar, and I remember seeing refernces to them being "dealth with" by the Sisters, but I do not think I ever got my hands on the actual fluff.Originally posted by Edicius@Jun 11 2004, 18:12
gah..the Rainbow Warriors were not a liegon..people keep asking the same questions over and over again >.<
They were simply a chapter w/ some rather crappy fluff.According to everything I've read on them some Rogue Trader bribed the High Lords with a high-rescource system that he found and got his own marine chapter.Then the Rogue Trader gets murdered,the chapters is left with nothing to do,so they stick them on some backwoods planet to rot.The only thing I've heard about them after that is that the sisters of battle wiped them out...must have been declared heretics or something
1)The Rainbow Warriors were 1275 in strength when re-found by the Emperor. So they were larger than a chapter so they were kind of a legion.gah..the Rainbow Warriors were not a liegon..people keep asking the same questions over and over again >.<

That's the real fluff about them, Right Fenix?The Rainbow Marines was the third legion founded, after the Dark Angels and the Sons Of Horus. Their primarch, George Mercury, was found on the peaceful agri world Village. The people of Village were a peaceful people, the Village population lived in a society where music and dancing was the most important thing in life. When the Emperor encountered George Mercury in the Village, he had risen to become the Gaylord Of Village and the ultimate dancing queen. At first he would not join with the Emperor, but after the Emperor bested him in a dancing contest he swore fealty to him.
The Rainbow marines have three successor chapters:
The Strawberry Marines, The Purple Scarfs and the Lotioners.
