Editing Thunder Kings (section)

==Scouring and Post-Heresy==
The Thunder Kings were very active during the period of The Scouring, along with their cousins the Void Angels. Brennus had aggressively recruited for his legion during the Heresy, and he continued to recruit from the worlds his legion cleansed. Many suspected that this was an effort to erase the shame he felt at losing so many of his sons to the lure of Chaos. Brennus was never one to rush, and so he did not attempt to force the Space Marine creation process to be more rapid; nonetheless, these new recruits were aggressively schooled in tactics and combat, and then sent to the front as soon as possible, to show their traitorous elder siblings the cost of betraying their father.

In the modern era, the tribal structure has been disbanded, and the Chapter no longer recruits from a single world. The loyalist clans were instead broken off into their own individual Chapters, and are known to maintain close ties to the original Thunder Kings--who are all of Brennus original tribe. The legion was used to operating in smaller groups spread throughout a warzone, so the transition to smaller chapters operating independently was not difficult. The Chapter is now mostly Codex Astartes adherent, at least with regards to organization, though it still maintains more Marines than is considered standard--owing to its extended garrison duties in many locations. Most notable is still their fondness for unified tactics, and it is unsurprising to see the Thunder Kings working alongside their brother chapters or with regular Imperial forces in the conduct of a combined front against a greater enemy.

Following the voluntary burning of Alessia, the Thunder Kings and many of their successors instead now recruit from a multitude of planets spread out over a gauntlet of stars known as the Soctis Cluster. With several black holes orbiting the periphery of the cluster, the habitable planets scattered throughout the Cluster are habitually bombarded by erratic seasons, exotic radiation, and altogether experience harsh conditions. It is from these worlds that the Thunder King recruits are drawn, with a permanent garrison maintained on each one.
