	*'''Ordon Rift Crusade''' - The Red Scorpions get lost while exploring the dangerous Ordon Rift region and nothing is heard from then in more than 300 years, leading the [[Adeptus Terra]] to believe the Chapter was done for. Turns out they found out the rift was a cozy place and established their [[Fortress-Monastery]] in the orbit of the feral world of Zaebus Minoris. Where exactly this place is located differs depending on the galaxy map and the 40k editions, but it's somewhere around [[Sisters of Battle\|Ophelia]], [[Krieg]], [[Ambull\|Luther McIntyre]], and [[Mortifactors\|Posul]]. This is to be expected, for in their usual paranoia, the Scorpions have kept its exact location and routes largely secret.		*'''Ordon Rift Crusade''' - The Red Scorpions get lost while exploring the dangerous Ordon Rift region and nothing is heard from then in more than 300 years, leading the [[Adeptus Terra]] to believe the Chapter was done for.

	*'''The Crucible of Endikon IX ''' - Oh boi, where do we even start with this one. Endikon IX was a hive world that had suffered for decades the attacks of [[Eldar Corsairs]]. When the reinforcements finally arrived, the resulting void battle between the Xenos and the [[Imperial Navy]] destroyed most of the imperial guard's troop carriers. As a means to counter the lack of manpower, the [[Raptors (Chapter)\|Raptors]] suggested engaging the Eldar in a series of hit-and-run strikes to wear down their forces.

	*'''[[Vraks\|Siege of Vraks]]''' - During the final phases of the conflict, the Scorpions donated a hundred Marines (from various companies) to the cause.

As the tide of the war turned in the favour of Chaos, the Scorpions were recalled as part of the forces sent by the Imperium to finish the job. They led the assault on one of the Citadel's main gates, and later were tasked with cleansing the apostate cardinal's palace once the imperials had established a foothold inside.
	*'''The Amphelion project''' - The Adeptus Mechanicus decide that it would be a good idea to keep a zoo of Tyranids on Beta Anphelion IV in order to study them. Contact is, naturally, lost and Inquisitor Solomon Lok of the Ordo Xenos gathers up some Red Scorpions and Detachment D-99 of the [[Elysian Drop Troops]] to investigate. Jurassic Park IN SPESSS ensues, and the Marines escape while leaving Lok and the Guard to die horribly. Though in the Scorpions defense, Lok attempted to leave Culln for dead at Amphelion and threatened the chapter when they [[Noblebright\|refused to leave the planet without him.]] Wait, then what's the justification for leaving the Guardsmen to die?

[[Carab Culln]] leads the loyalists to victory against the Tyrant of Badab, and for their service, the High Lords reward the Red Scorpions with a "Vexilla Imperialis".

	The '''Red Scorpions''' are a Codex-compliant crusading Chapter who [[Nazi\|value genetic purity above all else]] and really, '''really''' hate [[Mutant]]s and [[Xenos]] (a '''lot!'''). Calling them zealots is an understatement. However, to that end, they are exceptional at righteously exterminating the enemies of the Imperium; and will do so all while reciting scripture from the [[Codex Astartes]]. Despite their unknown origins, they have a certain vintage flair that harkens back to the earliest days of the imperium, as a result of being [[Forge World]]'s very own chapter.

	[[Image:Brother Gez Tact Marine.jpg‎\|200px\|thumb\|left\|Their pure color scheme]]There are [[Codex]] compliant chapters, then there are the [[Ultramarines]], and then several orders of magnitude more ''compliant'' than even some of the most obsessive son of [[Roboute Guilliman\|Grandfather Smurf]] (cough Leandros cough) we have the Red Scorpions.

	In addition to being '''even more Codex compliant''' than the Ultramarines it appears that the Chapter is also unique in that its [[gene-seed]] is even purer than that of the Smurfs and their successor chapters. In fact, they attach [[Apothecary\|Apothecaries]] to many of their [[Tactical Squad]]s, so they can be extra sure that their fallen brothers' gene-seed gets collected before anything happens to it. Then there’s the fact that they're fundies on par with the [[Black Templars]]: not only are they one of the few Astartes chapters that actually subscribes to the [[Imperial Cult]], but they also have many beliefs that take intolerance above and beyond what is normal for even Space Marines. Their intense hatred of deviations from the pure Human form (such as [[mutant]]s and [[Abhuman]]s) stand out in particular, and under no circumstance or dire need will they ever ally with [[Xenos]] of any kind. The only exception this rule are things like [[Navigator]]s and fellow Astartes, which the Scorpions reckon were gene-crafted by the Emperor himself, but even then there are limits to whom they are willing to [[Wulfen\|put up with]].

He is perhaps most famous for being the [[cheese]] Librarian with ML3 who picks his powers manually from one psychic discipline instead of rolling them and has a warp-charge-fueled 2++ save. Which no longer works. Curse you 7th Ed!
	*Captain [[Casan Sabius]]: New named character from the forthcoming [[Imperial Armour#Fires of Cyraxus\|Imperial Armour: Fires of Cyraxus]]. Armed with a gloriously bald pate, Melta-combi Pistol and what is most likely a mastercrafted power sword. Promoted to acting Chapter Master after Culln got mortally wounded and interred to a Leviathan Dreadnought. When Fires got put on an [[squatted\|indefinite delay]], Forge World released his glorious [[Chapter Master]] version, armed with the same Blade of the Scorpion, but without the combi-pistol this time.		*'''Captain [[Casan Sabius]]:''' New named character from the forthcoming [[Imperial Armour#Fires of Cyraxus\|Imperial Armour: Fires of Cyraxus]].

	*Ancient [[Sirae Karagon]]: Since Sabius doesn't believe he is the legally rightful or worthy leader of the Red Scorpions, and since Culln isn't properly dead or out of commission, Sabius commands as the Lord-Regent until a new Chapter Master can be properly chosen and appointed. Karagon was promoted to Ancient-Invigilus and serves as Sabius's personal advisor and lieutenant. Has some awesome armor and a <strike>heretical</strike> green power sword. In an unforgivably lazy move, they didn't even bother to make rules for him, his "datasheet" just says to use him as a vanilla Red Scorpions Ancient.		*'''Ancient [[Sirae Karagon]]:''' Since Sabius doesn't believe he is the legally rightful or worthy leader of the Red Scorpions, and since Culln isn't properly dead or out of commission, Sabius commands as the Lord-Regent until a new Chapter Master can be properly chosen and appointed.

	*Veteran Sergeant Haas: Awesome sergeant with a bionic arm and the most bitchin' armour around. He's the only man you will ever see leading a Sternguard Veteran squad with artificer armour and giving them Relentless. Pretty much the perfect example of how the Red Scorpions love to give their veterans awesome equipment that even captains sometimes lack.		*'''Veteran Sergeant Haas:''' Awesome sergeant with a bionic arm and the most bitchin' armour around.

	*Dreadnought-Brother Halar: A notable dreadnought for some reason, despite not being a venerable dreadnought. His first "death" was during an action alongside the [[Raptors (Chapter)\|Raptors]] chapter where they decided to throw clever tactics out the window and charge head-first into the enemy army, losing the majority of their battle force in the process, but the Red Scorpions still look at it as one of their finest achievements; meanwhile, the Raptors just facepalm. Halar's special rules give him +1 WS/A and if he dies but doesn't explode - he hangs around for another turn before finally succumbing. He dies properly in the Anphelion Project, and dies so hard that the Techmarines can't even repair his sarcophagus for another occupant (he wrestled a carnifex).		*'''Dreadnought-Brother Halar:''' A notable dreadnought for some reason, despite not being a venerable dreadnought.

	*Master Apothecary Kregor Thann: In Deathwatch.		*'''Master Apothecary Kregor Thann:''' Poison and bioweapon aficionado, currently doing research for the [[Deathwatch]]. He and his [[Watch Captain]] have taken upon themselves the admittedly nigh-impossible task to create a chemical that the [[Tyranids]] can't simply adapt themselves out of.
