My space marine chapter is the Lion warriors . The wiki has very little info about them which works well for me as now I can add my own fluff!
So here goes nothing
Home planet - Nimbicor's Fall
Fortress - Vigilance Eternal
Nimbicors Fall is a savanna planet in the Segmentum Obscurus. Long rolling plains of grassy lands with light tree cover. Great herds of beasts roam these plains and are looked after by the various tribes . The planet is hardly scared by industry. There are only 4 major hive cities and the Lion Warrior Fortress monastery Vigilance Eternal that disrupt the savanna land. The hive cities are essentially space ports for the tribes to deliver there beasts to. The meat is then sold off world or as imperial tythe. The plains are ruled over by the Tribes , some owning great swathes of land others being nomads. The hives each have a ruling household and a court of other prominent households, all manoeuvring for position and power but all are subject to the power of the Lion Warriors with the chapter master taking the ancient title of Lion King .
Nimbicors Fall has only one mountain range and there is one large mountain taller than any hive on the planet and there carved into it is Vigilance Eternal. The Lion Warriors home base. Every year the great plains in front of the fortress are home to a giant set of games where the tribes from all over the planet send their best and brightest to compete and potentially be spotted by the Lion Warriors as new recruits. Not all those who win are selected but those who impress the Lion Warrior Shamans (Librarians to you and me) with strength of character displays of heroism.
The Great Rift caused carnage but thankfully for the Lion Warriors a large majority of their chapter were in the local systems to the planet and a fierce battle against rapidly appearing demon forces erupted. PDF guard regiments battled in the hives against chaos cults that used the rift as an opportunity to rise up. While the Lion Warriors engaged in the plains against horses of demons. The tribes suffered greatly , their warriors to proud not to defend their planet from this ethereal enemy but ultimately they stood no chance. Lion warriors created redoubts which sheltered the tribes and drew the demons in so the Lion Warriors could concentrate their power. The Lion Warrior Shamans (Librarians to everyday 40k fans) stopped demons appearing inside the redoubts giving the Lion Warriors a vital chance. Jeruel the chapter master appeared at many of these redoubts when the fighting was thickest. Using ancient teleportation tech he used his battle barge to provide a platform where he could gather information and assess where he was needed most. Then he would teleport down with his terminators and provide much needed relief. Slowly the redoubts started to fall to the demon onslaught. Vigilance Eternal protected by ancient magics weathered the attack fairly well but even the magic here was failing against the power of the warp. Jeruel teleported down to his chapters fortress and prepared the defences. It was at this point local vox networks burst into life with new transmissions and elements of the Indomitus Crusade had arrived. With fresh reinforcements the world was cleansed of demons. The chapter received a host of new Primaris marines to bolster their thinned ranks.
The current chapter master also known as the Lion King is Jeruel Tamandro. He still holds many of these records from before he was a space marines. A huge giant of a man took the games by storm proving unbeatable in all events.
He was raised in the Middle Spear clan, helping from an early age herd the mighty Grox but as he got older and bigger he could almost wrestle a Grox to the ground single handed. After he conquered all in the games he was swiftly selected to join the Lion Warriors. From there he rose through the ranks quickly.
His terminator armour has been specially forged to fit his immense bulk. As chapter master he wields the Lion Warriors greatest artifact the Dusk Song. A huge normally 2 handed sword but due to Jeruels immense size he can wield it one handed. (For this character I shall be using Logan Grimnir rules just swapping the axe for a sword)
Azrial Salanus is a shaman in the Lion Chapter. A librarian to most people in the Imperium but Shaman is used as an honorific to the tribes and individuals on Nimbicor's Fall.
Abandoned in the plains by unknown parents he was found by a tribal elder. Who took him and raised him like her own child. From an early age Azrial seemed to have psychic powers. Called the Sight by the tribes people he was soon tracked down by the Lion Warriors for training as a librarian.
Brother Rostorn is a dreadnought for the Lion Warriors . Before he was interred into a dreadnought body Rostorn was a marine of the 3rd company. He was involved in a tryanid incursion on Plutames Three, while holding an access tunnel open for refugees fleeing the oncoming swarm Rosturn led his squad in a slow methodical retreat . Laying down withering volleys of bolter fire his squad held the swarm back. With the refugees inside the besieged hive Rostorn ordered his squad inside, at the last second he was struck down by the tryanids living ammunition. He closed the hatch with one hand and fired his bolter with his other hand all the while the living ammunition ravaged his body. The emperor was watching that day though, when the hatch was closed a squad of terminators from the first company appeared and ordered the hatch open as the tryanid filth was to be cleansed. The hatch opened and a hail of fire crushed the tryanids. Miraculously Rosturn was hanging onto life and taken away to be put inside the confined of the dreadnought as a reward for his heroic action.
Fast attack for the Lion Warriors is Storm Speeder 4! Ready to deliver an anti armour punch to the enemy.
