	While that was a major success, they didn't have so much success against the Slaugth on the planet Vigil.

This battle was so gruesome, that when making a Storm Warden character in [[Deathwatch (RPG)\|Deathwatch]], having memories of the battle is one of the past experience options.

	Currently, the Storm Wardens are also involved in the [[Jericho Reach\|Achilus Crusade]], which according to the Storm Warden's Chapter Master, [[Octarius War\| has no viewable end.]] They committed 7 full Companies (with possibly 50 more on guard duty) to the crusade (and convinced several dozen other chapters to send available aid). These forces were then lead by Maclir in the opening battles, and smashed opposing Tau forces. While they were hoping that the Imperium would be given a warm welcome by human forces, [[Gue'vesa\|they were instead given the middle finger.]] This set back strained the Imperium's communication, who had hoped that they could use the worlds as a staging area, but the space marines [[meme\|kept calm and carried on]], and managed to smash through Tau forces anyways. Maclir thought he could taste victory and finish the campaign in months (when he planned for it to take decades) and ordered all the space marine forces together, so that they could destroy the last of resistance and assault the capital of the region. Things hit the fan though when it turned out the populace of Jericho Reach didn't want to deal with the Imperium, because they had already turned to chaos. They attacked the, very thinned and strained, space marine forces and prevented their final chance at victory. Maclir has since become bitter about the crusade, and how it is now a war of attrition. Even though he could pull his Chapter out at any time. Besides, the Imperium should pull out, let Chaos mulch the Tau (and probably infect the Tau “human helpers”) then come back and kill everyone left.

	So just like their [[Blood Ravens\|vidya gaem cousin]], there's been some speculation about who their Primarch might be. Some have pointed to [[Ultramarines\|the smurfs]], due to their love of the codex (and Ultramarines' successors make up fifty to sixty five percent of all successor chapters). Others have thought they might be [[World Eaters]], because of similar colors and combat. However, the creator of the Storm Wardens at Fantasy Flight Games, Ross Watson, told us the biggest inspiration he had for making the chapter was a [[Warhammer 40,000 Fanon Wiki\|fanon]] chapter, along with some inspiration from Sons of Dorn (a novel about the [[Imperial Fists]] recruitment), Brothers of the Snake (a novel about the [[Iron Snakes]]) and [[Horus Heresy]] novels thrown in their for good measure]. This fanon chapter, called Warriors Eternal, was a successor of the [[Storm Lords]], a [[White Scars]] [[Second Founding]] chapter. So, if Watson just thought of a carbon-copy of the Warriors Eternal, then the Storm Wardens' Primarch might also be [[Jaghatai Khan]]. ~~But~~, since the other "scottish chapter" has usually been the Iron Hands ("scottish" mostly due to the Iron Hands' independant clan structure and their original recruitment from Albia), you could also be of the opinion that the Storm Wardens share more similarities with the sons of [[Ferrus Manus]].

So, if Watson just thought of a carbon-copy of the Warriors Eternal, then the Storm Wardens' Primarch might also be [[Jaghatai Khan]]. However, Astartes usually take on physical characteristics similar to their primogenitor's features after they are implanted with their geneseed. That's how Salamanders and their successors turn literally black, or how Raven Guard and their successors lose their skin pigmentation, and how White Scars successors take on mongoloid/asian phenotypes as a result. By no accounts do these power-armored highlanders look asian like the White Scars and their successors do.
			Also, since the other "scottish chapter" has usually been the Iron Hands ("scottish" mostly due to the Iron Hands' independant clan structure and their original recruitment from Albia), you could also be of the opinion that the Storm Wardens share more similarities with the sons of [[Ferrus Manus]]. Of course, now that [[Games Workshop]] is in full control, they'll probably just go for their [[Matt Ward\|favorite boys in blue]], assuming of course that they even remember that this Chapter exists. So, let's just never ask them.
