The Custodians: Creating Background for a Space Marine Chapter I

Back in the day, when Leman Russ was an Imperial Guard general and when marines came with beaks, I created my own chapter of Space Marines. They weren't much more than a colour scheme (blue and yellow) and a name - The Custodians - which sounded cool because it seemed like they were in charge of guarding something - I never really thought what. 

Well, that army played a few games before sitting in a box for twenty or so years, and then getting taken out to sell on ebay about 3 years ago.

The coming of Hive Fleet Blattodea

As Ollanius Persson takes a moment to admire his surroundings, he sits down on the soft field and takes a deep breathe. It’s been a good season for him and his crew. A combination of ample rainfall with just the right level of humidity resulted in an above average yield for his crops. He takes a drink of water, and relishes in its sweetness. “You’re one lucky bastard,” he said softly to himself. Life has been good ever since Oll settled down in one of the recent planetary systems to be discovered and assimilated into the ever expanding Imperium of Man. As a primary agricultural world, Joro Secondus quickly became a valuable resource given the nutrient rich landscape, accommodating climate, abundance supply in precious minerals and a biosphere that resembled ancient Terra.

The coming of Hive Fleet Blattodea

Hey SnS folks... as I prepare to muster up my Tyranids swarm, I thought it would be cool to come up with a bit of background fluff for them.  I wanted it to be a small encounter, made up of a small reconnaissance brood of Genestealers from Hive Fleet Blattodea.  For those who do not know, blattodea is an order of insects, more commonly known as cockroaches. Stay tuned.......
