![]() +++Chapter Cross-Reference - Cosmic Space Knights (of doom)+++ +++Inquisitorial Clearance - Oh...I don't know...let's say...erm...blue?+++ +++Current Chapter Base: Fortress monestry known as "The Frat House"+++ +++This Transmission is available from all good record stores+++ Origins The exact founding of the Cosmic Space Knights (of doom) is...well to be honest your guess is as good as mine. There is great debate between the Masters of the chapter as to who their Progenitor Chapter is as well, initially they were thought to be successors of the Ultramarines but then someone pointed out that Space Wolves were a bit more flexible when it came to Codex organisation when it came to prayers and schedules and stuff. After a few too many serious drinking session that resulted in the destruction of the Chapter Master's personal Thunderhawk they decided to rethink things and agrred that they were infact Blood Angels successors. The whole unquenchable rage thing and drinking blood wasn't really working out for them so they became Black Templars but after a few Crusades went rather badly for them they switched back to Ultramarines before finally settling on Dark Angels because they are all dark, brooding and mysterious which is pretty cool. The Artificer Crisis During the thirty eighth...or was it the thirty nineth...no wait...I'm pretty sure it was the thirty eighth millenium the Chapter faced it's greatest challenge to date. Due to the constant switching of Progenitor Chapters the Artificers were getting a bit fed up of having to repaint the Chapter's suits of power armour all the time. Together with the Serfs they formed the Union of Servitors and Chapter Serfs and promptly when on strike. After lengthy negotiations with Supreme Grand Chapter Master Slab Benchpress it was agreed that they would only paint the shoulder pads of the armour in chapter colours, in return the Chapter Master agreed not to abandon them all on the nearest Tyranid infested world. Homeworld The Chapter is fleet based after their homeworld was tragically destroyed. Exact details are unknown but it is thought to have had something to do with a couple of bored Scouts playing "shoot the can off the Servitor's head" close to the Fortress Monestry's armoury at the time. ![]() Chapter Colours The armour of the Chapter has been unpainted since the Great Artificer Crisis with the exception of the shoulderpad insert and chest aquila which are painted red. ![]() Organisation The exact organisation of the Chapter depends on which Chapter that they have decided they are currently Successors of. Battlecry "Everyone, remember where we parked!" Chapter Traits Unknown Progenitors The Chapter uses whatever is the latest Codex to be released and alters it's organistion to suit. Shoddy Workmanship Since losing their dental plan the servitors and chapter serfs have become slackers. Where once they took pride in their positon within the chapter they've come to realse that the Battle Brothers are overbearing, arrogant jerks and little attention is paid to the finer points of weapon and armour construction. Any model may include moldlines on their armour or weapons at no additional cost. And They Shall Have No Clue The CSK(od) are notoriously bad at organisation of any kind. Many battles have been won simply because they have overrun enemy positions thinking they were retreating to their own lines (Cross Reference: See Battlecry). Many times their have halted their route to bicker amongst themselves as to who had the Thunderhawk keys last and who's stupid idea was it to come here in the first plase? The CSK(od) benefit from the And They Shall Know No Fear special rules. Edited by Doghouse, May 24 2009, 04:24 PM.

Chapter Organisation Like many other more orthodox chapters the CSK(od) are organised into ten companies of one hundred battle brothers. Although this has only come about recently, well within the last couple of weeks actually since Supreme Grand Chapter Master Slab Benchpress took over and they became Dark Angels Successors. Before this time recruitment had been a little lax to say the least. The grueling and highly selective process of recruitment had long since been abandoned in favour of less dangerous initations like beer mat flipping and those who could fit their fist in their mouth. Having abandoned the ways of the Codex because they thought they were Black Templar Successors the chapter ranks swelled to the point where things were seriously getting out of hand. Fortunately two events in their history were to return the Chapter to the path of the codex. Firstly the creation of a Successor Chapter, the Screaming Weasels, succeeded in weeding out the more troublesome brothers and gave them their own Chapter. Secondly not long after the third Armageddon War the destruction of the Chapter's homeworld pretty much wiped ninety percent of the remaining battle brothers. Although the then Supreme Grand Chapter Master Buff Bigsword mysteriously vanished and none of the members of the Servitors and Chapter Serfs Union or the entire first company were there when it was destroyed. After much finger pointing, name calling and shoving the remaining brothers set about rebuilding the Chapter under the leadership of Supreme Grand Chapter Master Dirk Squarejaw. Squarejaw, however, was recently replaced by Slab Benchpress who has begun to replenish their numbers using ancient and forbidden technology to create instant clones or "Shake and Bake Troopers" as they are more affectionately known by the original surviving Astartes. The genestock for the clones comes from non other than legendary First Company Captain Maximus Vaan Damage. Clone Astartes can be recognised by their physical resemblance to Vaan Damage and are designated with a single name. For example; Brother Bulk Bicep is an original member fo the Chapter where as Brother Headshot is a clone. Other examples of clone names: Brother Soon-to-be-deceased Brother Meatshield Brother Bodybag Brother Expendable Clone Academy The vast majority of chapters maintain a strict process for recruitment to ensure the purity of their future battle brothers. Initiates are selected at an early age, screened, augmented, screened again, subjected to hypno-conditioning and then must under go battle field training as Scouts before being able to take their place amongst their brothers as a full Astartes. The CSK(od) are unfortunately not one of the vast majority. Since the introduction of the advanced and forbidden cloning device the CSK(od) are rarely under strength, often being able to deploy on the battle field as an entire chapter. Clones are created using the geneseed of the chapter's greatest living hero Maximus Vaan Damage, Captain of the first company and all round great guy. The process for cloning new brothers is relatively quick, an entire Tactical squad can be created in a mere matter of hours, an entire company can be completed in a day. Clones are sent to Clone Academy shortly after being created and after an intense two week induction course are assigned a role within the chapter. Although theoretically speaking a Clone could live for several centuries most rarely make it past the four week mark due to accidents and battlefield errors. Anyone that makes it past five weeks is often considered a veteran. The S.A.P.S Most clones are assigned to the regular Tactical, Assault or Devastator squads. Those that demonstrate a degree of mechanical aptitude and can break into a Rhino using only a coat-hanger are assigned to the Techmarines, those that look good in black, like scarey skull masks and shouting alot are assigned to the Chaplains, those that look a bit wizardy, can do the freaky starey eye thing and can guess how many fingers the selector is holding up behind his back are sent to the Librarium. The Scouts however are a different story altogether. Selected just after being created they receive advanced training and are taught the skills of field craft and survival. Absolute masters of camoflage they are the chapter's silent death, an elite fighting force that occationally can actually complete a mission (or at least get really, really close to completing it without blowing themselves up). They are the proud and the few, they are the best of the best, they are the Stealth Assault Patrols. Special Rules S.A.P.s SAPs use the Scout stats and rules. Masters of Disguise The SAPs are trained to blend into any enviroment..that contains some form of small shrubs, trees or bushes. Thanks to the Curse of the Absurd very few enemies will question what a small Privet hedge is doing on the bridge of their battle cruiser, figuring that is obviously supposed to be there and is clearly someone else's problem. SAPs may Infiltrate if the mission allows it. The Greatest Disaster Since the Last Greatest Disaster! Seeing as all the STC templates for their vehicles had been destroyed along with ninety percent of the Chapter itself they knew that should the Adeptus Mechanicus find out then they was bound to get in trouble. It was decided that they would have to start from scratch creating vehicles of their own design that might pass for the originals from a distance...if you sort of squinted at them...through thick fog...well, maybe if you closed one eye completely and it was extremely dark or you were blind drunk. So while the Supreme Grand Chapter Master set about stalling the Magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus the rest of the Chapter set about creating new vehicles assisted by the Servitors and Chapter Serfs Union (who mysteriously never lost anyone in the destruction of their homeworld). |
