Editing MidHammer 40,000: SM Chapters (section)

==Chapter Foundings==
The foundings should be considered more like "Eras" or common trends. A founding a collective term for a period in which a particular type of space marine chapter foundings occur. Often these founding mirror the historical period of the Imperium's history that they were commissioned in. The foundings should not be thought of as exclusive to the type mentioned. There were plenty of successful and vibrant chapters that came out of the Cursed Founding era, for instance.

===The Penitential Founding (M30-32)===
'''Second Founding Chapters:'''
*"Death Raiders" 
:Formed of Death Guard remnants, who while still loyal to the emperor, disagreed with most if not all of the cultural and organizational reforms made by Garro. Filled with Old Guard of Barbarus, these Astartes have been mostly used in Ork and Tyrannid based conflicts.
*"The Charcodons"
:Fmr Night Lords
*"Consumed" 
:Fmr World Eaters led by none other than Kharn the Betrayer. Kharn refused to force his legion to part with the Butcher's Nails.
*Scions of Talassar
:Remnant Chapter made from formerly Possessed Ultramarines, unwavering in their hatred and contempt of the forces of Chaos.
*The Sin Bearers
:Former Word Bearers Chapter.

===The "Corvidae" 5th Founding (M33)===
The Fifth Founding came about as a result of a the First Black Crusade, when several legions (the Iron Hands in particular) learned the hard way how painfully ill-equipped they were for war against demonic forces. While orders like The Grey Knights did exist, they were small, and the Inquisition's "Ordo Malleus" was distrusted by most, if not all Space Marine Legions.

The Blue Eagles patrol the Segmentum Obscura, near the Eye of Terror. They are usually the first to respond to incursions in the warp, and are consequently often the hardest hit.

;Organisation and Tactics
The Blue Eagles have additional Blanks, who are often affixed to each company. They recruit from a specific region of the planet Qifa in the Qodiry system. It is here where their particular school of obsequiani comes from, which emphasizes discipline and self control from a very young age.
