==Marines Errantor== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1000px"> ''"The only cleansing any loyal Imperial requires is the '''Emperor's holy light'''."''' - Battle-Brother Collybiscus, when inquired on his hygiene. <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Marines Errantor |Heraldry = [[Image:Marines_Errantor.png|center|140px]] |Battle Cry = "Et in domum suam non nisi stellas in Astartes!" |Founding = M34 |Successors of = [[Imperial Fists]] |Chapter Master = Chapter Master Norton |Homeworld = fleet based |Strength = 600 |Allegiance = [[Imperium]] |Colours = Unpainted Rusty armor }} The Marines Errantor are a renegade chapter of Imperial fists stock, founded in Millenium 35, who harbor a longstanding grudge with the [[Black Templars]] after coming to blows with them over the fate of the unknowing families and relatives of numerous high profile Chaos cultistst, with the Templars demanding that they be purged while the Marines Errantor insisting that they be spared. This altercation lead to the chapter being exiled from the wider Imperium for a period of 1000 years at the behest of the [[Black Templars]]. To the shock of others, the Marines took the ruling with solemn acceptance, and their fleet warped of to the halo stars, not to be seen again until almost 4000 years later, returning to Imperial Space with their previously clean, well kept armor of the marines displaying signs of wear and tear with old age , their grand robes becoming little more than rags, their hair grown to be mangy and unkempt. When asked why they appeared so dirtied by an inquisitor, the Chapter Master simply stated "The Imperium's enemies care not for appearances, only deeds." Ever since, they have been noted for their terrible hygiene, and their armor is easily identifiable bye the hue of rusted copper, the Imperial Aquila trimmed with a dirty silver. Their chapter heraldry is that of a Staff with an orb at the top, as to say that it's their burden to lead the quest for knowledge, sacrificing any attempt at appearances and ritual to do so. In battle, the Marines are noted for being able to enter the filthiest of conditions and stand in the harshest of weather and barely flinch. They're extremely hardy and resistant, their toughness being second only to their extreme stubborness. They hold an utter contempt for advanced tactics and weapons, holding their skill with a bolter as paramount to their battlefield success. Indeed, their favored tactic is to land on the enemy via drop pods before proceeding to empty out and mop up what remains of their forces. To the Marines Errantor, the quicker the battle ends, the better. They needless to say aren't very well liked by the Mechanicus considering how poorly they treat their gear, with much of their armor being rusted and worn, many with dents and an odd smell, implying that the marines aren't big fans of cleaning or even ever taking off their armor, for any reason. They recruit from one planet, a desert world deep within the Halo stars, where roaming desert tribes fight to survive through vicious sand storms and scrounge up what little water they can to trade for basic goods. The Marines Errantor have entrenched themselves as part of this desert ecosystem, offering a village a years worth of water should one of their young men manage to complete their tasks. These men are then recruited as part of the chapter, becoming battle brothers should they survive scout training. The Marines themselves, while technically allowed back into the Imperium, willingly isolate themselves off in the Halo Stars and avoid all contact with outsiders, lest they are there to petition for their aid in a conflict, in which case the High council will convene in order to decide if they intervene or not. That said, they still occasionally are found roaming outside their sector, going across the Imperium as both nuisances who scavenge abandoned ships and space stations for scrap, and to protect any worlds in trouble that they happen upon in their journey. They are noted for having an extreme hatred for the Death Guard and purge all Nurglites they come across with frightening zeal, with any encounter between the two being the only time the chapters tactics are known to diverge, bringing holy flamer to bear against the vile spawn of the Plague God. It's perhaps this hatred and stubborn refusal to despair and lose hope that was honed during their mysterious exile, that steels them against corruption by the Ruinous powers. </div> </div>
