How many titles is too many?

How many titles is too many?

I’m playing my first ever crusade and I’m doing EC. While building the lore for my warband, “The Perfect Symphony”, I decided “what’s a great way to show my warlord has a slaaneshy-sized ego? I know, long titles!” I then spent the next like 2 hours on and off giving every title I could think of before trimming like half of them (previously he was in so many important engagements he was practically John Warhammer).

Anyways, should I trim more of these titles? I already know TTS doesn’t have enough room for text past “Istvaan” so I gave up the idea of trimming titles to fit tts a while ago. Also full title below:

Conductor Hanno, Lord of the Perfect Symphony, son of Primarch Fulgrim of the Emperor's Children, Optae of the 6th Company, Crusader of Molech, Parader of Ullanor, Submariner of Laer, Deflagrator of Murder, Flayer of Istvaan III, Witness of the Maraviglia, Rupturer of the Dropsite, Chora of Terra, Breacher of the Saturnine Gate, Imploder of Monument, Eagle King of the 6th Compnay, Irradiator of the 63rd Company, Presser of 63rd Captain Khashender Kanthteth, Oscillator of Amonhep the Undying, Immolator of Atria Epsilon, Conflagrator of Ardida's Gloom, Orchestrator of Skarvus, Disharmonist of Gaudinian Prime, Tamer of the Supervisor, Immolaor the Captain Bethor Zacahrus of the Consecrators, Spiter of Cadia, the Tuner

What Canon chapter would you theme around and use to represent your region?

I’m not talking about countries, but the region of your country where you live in, as in some cases they all have vastly different cultural identities.

To clarify what a canon chapter is, since I’ve found it out just recently myself, it needs to meet the following rules:

It needs to be included in a Codex (Angels Arisen or Brazen Annihilators), a Black Library novel (The Shadow Wolves or The Angels of Light for example), in the “Chapter approved” Section of White dwarf (Adulators or Crusaders) or if they have 3+ mentions throughout Warhammer media.

The best list I’ve found is this one https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Loyal\_Space\_Marine\_Chapters\_(List), but Unfortunately it also includes Lots of non-canon chapters like the Carrion Crows or Ingeniators

What is your chapter's current purpose? For example: My chapter is currently helping to contain the Cordon Impenetra

Writing Prompt: Tell me something ironic about your dudes

To demonstrate:

Lateralist Creed (admech): Though they are so monodominant that they believe even the Imperium itself is a puppet of Xenos forces, they are themselves controlled from within by a Drukhari. The Drukhari in question believes that the Drukhari back in Commorragh are too pragmatic to reach her artistic sensibilities, while she constantly has to make pragmatic compromises to survive.

Storm Tigers (loyalist marines): Whenever the Storm Tigers leap to throw off suspicion from the Imperium, their eagerness ends up drawing suspicion of a different kind anyway. This means that they are both rewarded and punished for their paranoid tendencies, at greatly diminishing returns.

My Chapters Home system

The Selune System is the home of the Ashen Angels Space Marine Chapter, it was found and reclaimed during the Great Crusade by the primrach Fulgrim. When the Phonecian found the humble star system it only had one planet that supported life. This was home to the moon worshipers, powerful psykers who thought there gifts came from the moon goddess. They bent the knee and were inducted into the Imperium and were lost to history. In present day M41 the Selune System is a Bastion in Imperium Nihilus using its astropathic relay to guide lost ships into the safety of its harbours. All under the watchful eyes and guns of the Ashen Angels Voidstation Anchor of Faith.

How do I name my chapter

Hi everyone I made my own chapter but I'm struggling to come up wirh a name for them?

Here's a bit of their key lore if this helps in any way?

My chapter was created during the cursed founding when a mix or blood angel and dark angel geneseed was accidentally mixed together this unholy geneseed concoction seemed fine at first however when the new chapter was first sent into battle almost a whole third of the chapter fell to a new version of the black rage. The new version of the black rage combines the blood angels visions of sanguinius death as well as the horrors that the dark angel legion saw during the horus heresy and the fall of caliban etc. This curse combined with the red thirst that all blood angels have really characterises this chapter they spent almost all of their time trying to fight against their mad brutal gene curse they try to be noble arthurian style knights however often fall short due to their curse.

In conclusion cursed blood angel dark angel mix

Thanks :)

Chapter special units (House units.)

My buddies and I spent lunch discussing house rule units. And we were wondering, Say Games workshop comes out with rules to make a custom unit for your chapter/sister of battle and SOMEHOW they make it balanced. What custom unit is now exclusive to your chapter?

My attempt at an IW Detachment

So this detachment was made for Iron Warriors based on one of their casual tactics : grinding down infantry to learn about ennemy and exterminate him afterwards :D

I tried to make it as clear and balanced as possible and i’ll be glad to answer questions or take feedbacks whether bad or good. Hope you’ll like !

Also, i’ll be as transparent as possible, the lore texts are made by AI re-arranged by me to conform to what it’s connected, truly sorry i had to use that but else it was going to take me hours to find the good text and the good grammar. However, the stratagems, detachment rule and enhancements are all made by me with some help and reviews from my friends if that can reassure you.

Chapter Organization of the Radiant Spears

The Radiant Spears are of unknown geneseed and founded during the 23rd founding as the Dusk Hounds. They accompanied a rouge trader fleet to make imperial headway into the tumultuous Eru Sector. The failed siege of the chaos world Gorvothel, left the chapter abandoned by imperial forces and thought dead. Later rediscovered by the Imperium, they fled Gorvothel, reconstituted forces and claimed the world of Illuvian Prime as their homeworld, lighting the great flame in the lighthouse above their fortress monastery christening themselves the Radiant Spears. They shed humanities cleansing light in the darkness of the Imperium Nihilus, recently taking up the Emancipation Crusade, with the goal of taming Gorvothel once and for all.

Whats your homebrews combat doctorine like?

How do your guys wage war? Fast with a drop pod assult or slow and purposefully? Do they go all out and mass everything they have for an attack or do they operate in small independent forces?

And of course how does their combat doctrine help you to flesh then out and give them depth from a writing perspective? Thats to say why do they aproach war from that certain perspective?

The Blood Hounds

My homebrew (obviously) called the Blood Hounds, they are a renegade loyalist chapter, having been created in secret somewhere right before the horus heresy, they are unknown in which primarch is their father, though it is rumored they were the first to be called the "chimera" legion, it is suspected by most that they have the geneseed of Angron and Sanguinius. They have the natural ability to track down enemies with almost supernatural accuracy, they are rather large, (bulky) and have quite the bipolar temper. They have recently just resurfaced after an extended sailing in the warp.

They specialize in Bolters and hand to hand combat (like with their fists) the latter they actually prefer. I hope you like them.

Ps: enjoy the cinematic images.
