“HOW DARE YOU TOUCH A BELOVED SON OF THE EMPEROR?!”

Ohhh I’ve been having so much fun with this oc successor chapter heheheh. Pinkmarines!! Lovemarines!! Check below the cut for lore and small comic!

Chapter Name: The Heartsworn

Motto: Amor Vincit Omnia (“love conquers all”)

Successors Of: Unknown/SEALED BY ORDER OF THE ADMINISTORUM

Homeworld: The Eros Cluster

Type of Homeworld: Linked Moons above the massive gas giant Hartwyrm-46, located in the northern reach of the Ultima Segmentum

Chapter Tactics: Brutal Assault, mixed ground tactics, uncanny ability to perform unified maneuvers on tandem

Loyalty: Loyal to the Emperor

Chapter Master: No one Astartes leads the Heartsworn, instead the Chapter is led by a seven man council known as the Erotes Comitia, made up of the heads of the Armory, Reclusium, Apothecarion, and Librarius, as well as three other chosen champions or heroes of the Chapter

The Astartes of the Heartsworn are close. They have to be. It is how the millionsliving upon the moons of the Eros Cluster have survived for millennia.

To outsiders, the Heartsworn are cold, distant, militaristic. But to one another, they are precious, the Emperor’s Love Made Flesh. The Heartsworn are open with this devotion, as they feel as though their bond with one another is the key to their success in and outside of battle.

They often unnerve or disturb others used to the Imperiums coldness with this…overt and confident expression of their feelings…but they get the job done!

The Heartsworn are ruthless if one of their own is wounded, entering a rage and tearing apart any in their way, ignoring the lives of civilians or even other loyalist marines in their path. For this, they are decreed non-compliant to the Codex Astartes. The Heartsworn fight this vehemently, claiming their love for the Emperor surpasses any other!

Fun fact: They exchange tokens of affection with each other often! They make little heart beads out of moon rock and custom purity seals and wughhhhh ❤️❤️❤️

I don’t think they’re like….👀 but they’re a little 👀 but very platonic??? I need to make more to explain lololol

Better to face your death in the open, than to die in the darkness with your back against the wall.

Art of my girlfriend's homebrew Iron Hands successors, the Chain-Forged. She powerhoused the bulk of the digital rendering for this one and I'm glad the sketch translated well into digital!

Me again, put some more thought into the Blood Forged chapter and (cuz my brain thinks backwards or something) I came up with a funny little detail.

Their capital ship is actually named Ferrus Tenebrae, and on board is a Servitor the size of an Astartes. A pathetic thing it is, really, pale ghastly skin imprisoned by muted silver that runs all over their frail body. Its lower jaw was removed, replaced with multiple tubes of various width and color, its remaining eye glassy and unfocused, muttering it “Needs to find my armor” or “Needs to be beautiful again” as it shuffles like a lost wounded puppy around the ship. It flinches when a marine gives it an order, and it eyes the various Ad-Mech that walk about with fear and trepidation.

The marines regularly beat the machine when its old, clunky, outdated robotics prevent it from doing strenuous tasks. The Ad-Mech often play with its coding or disassemble it either for practice or just purely out of boredom.

What earned this poor Servitor its fate?

That Servitor was once named Devrim. And Devrim was an Emperor’s Children.

Devrim was with his war band on a planet near the Medusa System. All they wanted was some bolter shells, maybe a few captives. They would Get mostly slaughtered sans a few including Devrim who were dragged on board the various ships in the fleet for questioning. Most were interrogated, then executed, but Devrim was different.

He was annoying, dragging out lines of questions ultimately to answer with absolutely nothing. When Chapter Master Tenkred threatened to turn him into a Servitor, he didn’t listen, thinking wouldn’t be so petty. Tenkred was.

Of course, now far more obedient due to the servitization, Devrim was open to more questioning. Once they got everything they wanted out of him, they had to decide what to do with him. Devrim was a filthy traitorous scum, and having him onboard was an Insult to the name of the Iron Father, he should’ve been put down like a dog.

But… he’s still a Servitor. His obedience reprogramming had wiped out *most* of the ego, but just enough was left so Devrim could understand what he had become. Now of course, having a Servitor just sitting in a corner somewhere begging for death wasn’t useful at all to anyone, so Tenkred made a “deal” with Devrim, telling him if he could find his armor somewhere aboard the Ferrus Tenebrae he could put it on. Devrim was overjoyed, believing the Chapter Master entirely and scouring the ship’s every hiding place, begging marines and skitari alike for any clues to where his armor is

(Plot twist: it was melted down and turned into Bolt Shells to feed War Feeder, Tenkred’s Heavy Bolter)

(Also I’m actually gonna make this organized maybe, giving every one of these posts the Blood Forged Chapter hashtag. That’s what you’re supposed to do right? I’m not well versed in Tumblr x-x)
