The War Brothers are an anomaly among the Unforgiven as they are not considered part of the Dark Angels' Inner Circle. During the chapter's early years, they were attached to a larger Black Templar crusade in order to build up combat experience with another highly mobile chapter. The core officers of the chapter were initially from the Dark Angels and they did their best to condition the fresh marines to the proper ways of the Unforgiven.

Ever since, the Dark Angels' influence has continued to wane as the younger recruits of the War Brothers began practicing Black Templar rites that encouraged the divinity of the Emperor.
Near the end of M37, the Dark Angels Grand Master, Anaziel ordered the War Brothers to dedicate themselves to the hunt and capture of the Fallen Angel, Cypher. The War Brothers outright refused this order, arguing that there were far greater and more numerous foes for them to manage than a single individual. The War Brothers Chapter Master of the time removed himself from the Dark Angels Inner Circle and the task of capturing Cypher was delegated to the Disciples of Caliban, a chapter the Unforgiven felt hadn't been tainted by outside influences as was believed of the War Brothers.

'''An Eldar Raid'''
*[[An Eldar Raid]]
We were raiding two worlds held by Mon’Keigh forces, you know, the usual. Raping their churches, burning their women. I’m still unsure of what resources our Farseer thought important enough to dedicate the forces of the Craftworld to these planets, but you don’t question a Farseer. We’d spent a couple months toying with the local Imperial Guard regiments, poking and prodding at their defences, a feint here, a diversionary attack there.
*[[The Speech]]
However, as a Fire Dragon, being tasked with the destruction of most of the Mon’Keigh structures, I’d noticed strange symbols. Over my centuries, I’d become familiar with the usual Mon’Keigh Aquilas and skulls, but in the majority of these buildings were also banners. Dark green with a picture of a standard supported by a sword. Most of my brothers thought nothing of it, but I was worried that we were attacking one of the recruiting worlds of the Mon’Keigh Marines. I spoke to a Warlock of this, but he told me my fears were unfounded. Surely if this was the basis for a Space Marine chapter, they would be here to defend it. I agreed, assuming that these structures must have belonged to some long-dead and gone Mon’Keigh force, or even just a new simple they’d devoted to their Emperor.
*[[The Blood of the Fallen]]
Weeks passed, and as we prepared for our final push on the remaining Mon’Keigh Guard forces, the fleet came. How our Farseer hadn’t seen this coming, I had no idea. Perhaps he’d been so focused on whatever power these worlds could hold; he had been too narrow-minded to see beyond what the rest of us mere immortals could see. By the time we’d heard reports of the arrival of these reinforcements, it was already too late. Their pods were raining down from the skies, careening towards the tree-line of the Khaine-forsaken jungle world I was stationed on.
*[[In His Name]]
 
Two of the pods landed a kilometre from my unit’s position, not 50 metres away from each other. I’d recognized one of them, black as night, bearing the cross of a Mon’Keigh force we’d fought once before. The other, bore a combination of the blacks of the other drop pod as well as the dark green of the banners I’d burnt, bearing the same symbol I’d seen earlier in the churches. This WAS a Mon’Keigh recruiting world, and if so they’d fight with even more self-righteous fury then they have been known for.
And yet, as the black-clad Mon’Keigh forces careened across the field, shouting their benedictions to their Emperor, the green ones, though not lagging behind, strode more calmly. The Warlock decided to lead us further in the jungle, hoping to catch them by surprise. He told the Storm Guardians to hide in the trees, as we Fire Dragons were to remain on the ground as bait. He knew we were entirely to fragile to withstand the force of the Marines, but I knew it was our only hope for any chance of survival. As predicted with from our previous encounters with them, the Black Templars rushed straight towards us, in our brightly coloured orange armour. This was when our Warlock decided to spring the trap. The Storm Guardians leapt from the trees, stabbing through the black power armour, and somehow they managed to kill the majority of the marines without suffering too many casualties.
Then something caught my eye in the underbrush. Mon’Keigh forces aren’t exactly known for their subtlety, but somehow, the green-armoured marines managed to hide in the bushes, using the sounds of battle to set up their positions, long enough to strike back. I watched in abject terror as they cut down my brothers, avenging the deaths of their Templar comrades. The Warlock managed to strike down one that leapt at him, then another, until he took a Mon’Keigh chainsword to the back. Desperate, and alone, I ignited the underbrush. I knew it wouldn’t do any damage, but I’d hoped it’d distract them long enough to get away. One of them simply walked through the fire, scanning for my outline, now that I was in my element.


As he foolishly stumbled around as Mon’Keigh are so prone to do, I let myself smile. Unfortunately it seems their leader had the tenacity that their faith fuelled them with, and turned to my direction. Before I could turn and run, I’d felt the sharpest pain in my centuries-long existence in my leg. I looked down to find it gone, blown away by the Mon’Keigh’s pistol. He slowly walked over to me, flourishing his power sword as he went. He stood over me and in a monotone voice said “Heresy begets retrubution. Retribution must be paid in blood.” The sword ran through my chest.

– Ezekiel, Grandmaster of Librarians

The War Brothers are a fleet-based Dark Angels successor with a close relationship with the Black Templars. The chapter's battle-brothers are rarely seen without an Aquila necklace, even in battle. They roused the ire of the fickle Eldar during a crusade against the xenos filth with a fleet of Black Templars. The War Brothers are deadly with the sword and calm in battle, and fight the enemy eye to eye, blade to blade. Their most famous member is their current Chief Librarian Drake Sigismund, who banished a Daemon Prince back to the warp in a glorious battle. The War Brothers seem to be influenced in their chapter beliefs by the Black Templars more than the Dark Angels or the Unforgiven, revering the Emperor as a Godly being.

Fluffy bits[edit | edit source]

The War Brothers are an anomaly among the Unforgiven as they are not considered part of the Dark Angels' Inner Circle. During the chapter's early years, they were attached to a larger Black Templar crusade in order to build up combat experience with another highly mobile chapter. The core officers of the chapter were initially from the Dark Angels and they did their best to condition the fresh marines to the proper ways of the Unforgiven. But the close proximity to the Black Templars diluted the Dark Angels' influence.

This came to a head during a raid on a hive in which the War Brothers' bikes would have been unable to progress. At the Black Templars' behest the War Brothers continued on foot where they impressed even the Templars with a righteous zeal rivaling their own. Ever since, the Dark Angels' influence has continued to wane as the younger recruits of the War Brothers began practicing Black Templar rites that encouraged the divinity of the Emperor.

Near the end of M37, the Dark Angels Grand Master, Anaziel ordered the War Brothers to dedicate themselves to the hunt and capture of the Fallen Angel, Cypher. The War Brothers outright refused this order, arguing that there were far greater and more numerous foes for them to manage than a single individual. The War Brothers Chapter Master of the time removed himself from the Dark Angels Inner Circle and the task of capturing Cypher was delegated to the Disciples of Caliban, a chapter the Unforgiven felt hadn't been tainted by outside influences as was believed of the War Brothers.

Chapter Master Uriah Hammerfell

8th and current Chapter Master of the War Brothers. Had distinguished service against Chaos as an Assault Marine in the Second Company, and later as a Vanguard Veteran of the First Company after fighting an Ork WAAAGH alongside the Black Templars. He gained Captaincy of the Third Company after assisting Chief Librarian Sigismund in the slaying of a Daemon Prince, and rose to the position of Chapter Master after his predecessor was killed in battle by an Eldar Ranger during an Eldar raid on one of the chapter's recruiting worlds. Uriah was elected during a meeting of the surviving Captains, Chaplains, and Librarians of the Chapter Council after an endorsement from the Chief Librarian Sigismund himself, narrowly defeating the Captain of the Second Company in the Council elections. He has since proven himself time and time again to be more than worthy of his title.

Uriah wields an archeotech amulet capable of creating holographic images of himself that are capable of acting independently. Uriah is quite skilled in making use of his duplicates when faced with a direct challenge. The amulet was gifted by the Dark Angels to the first Chapter Master of the War Brothers upon their founding.
