Editing Crimson Consuls (section)

==History==
The Crimson Consuls were an [[Ultramarines]] Successor Chapter of an unknown Founding. They were based on the ice-covered [[Hive|Hive World]] of Carcharias in the [[Fortress-Monastery]] known as the Slaughterhorn, which lay at the peak of the world's capital hive city of Niveous. If nothing else, the Crimson Consuls picked a fucking [[Doomrider|<i>metal</i>]] name for a crib. In the deep catacombs under the hive, the Crimson Consuls recruited savage young candidates from feral tribes, who lived on a level even below the squalor of [[Necromunda|hive-gangers.]] A trio of hive cities abandoned due to the raging weather of the planet were used as de-facto training grounds for Crimson Consuls [[Scout|Scouts]].

As befitting the majority of Ultramarines Successor Chapters, the Crimson Consuls firmly believed in the [[Codex Astartes]] as a trusted source of valuable wisdom and strategy. The Chapter was not a [[Hammers of Dorn|fiercely competitive]] or [[Invaders|rash one;]] it carefully chose battles in which they would go out of their way to [[Reasonable Marines|minimize their own casualties as much as possible.]]

Unfortunately for them, such cautious tactics did not help them at all when they needed it the most.
