| Hailing from the unexplored depths of the Calico Stars (the Caribbean in space) The Black Locks are another product of /tg/'s overactive imagination during the summerfagging of 2012 (which has also birthed wonders such as the [[Scraplootas]] and [[Blood Jaguars]]). The concept:
| |
| | |
| Rogue Trader Marines. Or in laymen's terms, Pirate Marines.
| |
| | |
| Started off from the no doubt neckbearded mind of the OP going by the name "Friendly Anon", the chapter quickly snowballed into a <strike>jizzfest of pirate and whaling pop culture</strike> fantastic crew of swashbuckling [[Space Marine|PIRATES IN SPEHS]]. AND they have a sea shanty battle cry. AND all their weapons look like flintlocks or ships cannons. AND they specialize in boarding action and swordfighting. FUCK.

| |
| Yarr, sit down lad, and take another tankard o grog while i tell ye the tale o the ol' Black Locks.
| |
| | |
| Far off in the edges of the Segmentum Pacificus, in the unexplored regions of the Calico stars, there was a chapter of the Emperor's Space Marines. The Black Locks, they were called, a stern lot indeed.
| |
| Now, they were war torn and beleaguered from the many rebellions in the segmentum, thousands of colonies and provinces needed to be brought into line and the chapter was so worn down barely a single company remained at full strength. And that was when fortune flashed its gold teeth at them.
| |
| | |
| A Rogue Trader, hunted by hordes of [[Eldar]] Privateers crash landed on the Locks' homeworld. After fighting off the xenos crewmen the marines dragged the dying sailor, Roger his name was, from his vessel and gleaned from him something which would forever change their fate.
| |
| | |
| In his possession he had a great gift for them, to them alone he passed on his ancient star map of the Calico stars, written aeons ago. On its blackened surface there was a marked the location of a treasure most precious; the Ultimate Treasure, a piece of archeotech fabled to be able to heal even the most fatal of wounds.
| |
| Knowing that the Imperium itself would crumble should any foul forces get their hands on this prize, every single marine of the Locks set off immediately to find it, leaving behind their battered fortress.
| |
| From that day forth they have earned themselves the name of "The Dread Fleet", and to this day the sail the Calico stars in search of the treasure, ever searching for its miraculous power.
| |
| | |
| ==The Fleet==
| |
| | |
| Though every vessel of the chapter follows the ultimate goal of <strike>A MYSTICAL QUEST, TO THE ISLE OF TORTUGA, RAVEN LOCKS SWAY ON THE OCEAN BREEZE</strike> ultimate treasure, many ship's captains tend to have their own personal goal.
| |
| Take for example Chapter Master Ahab, who has a personal vendetta against the beast which took his leg.
| |
| Also each vessel has its heraldry and flags, which each marine belonging to that ship will display on their armour.
| |
| | |
| As the chapter set off pretty fucking hastily, they left all their supplies behind on their ruined fortress monastery, THE FUCKING DUMB KLUTZES. As such <strike>this gives a perfect excuse for them to be dickwad pirate raiders and steal shit</strike> they are dashing rogues who trade with and steal from the heretic and xeno in order to further their quest to the <strike>galactic leyline</strike> Ultimate Treasure.
| |
| | |
| The Calico Stars are rife with independent colonies and goods are traded off to whoever can offer the finest price. It is amongst these shores the Black Locks sail, doing battle with [[tyranid|white whales]], [[Necron|ghost ships]] and [[Eldar|other]], more savage [[orks|pirates]]. Not to mention [[tau|traders from the orient]] and [[Chaos Space Marines|voodoo cults]]. The Locks are not always alone, however, sometimes the (not so) reliable [[Imperial Guard|customs fleet]] shows us every now and again to <strike>help out</strike> get blown into flotsam and drink tea.

| The Farseer was impressed. The Ork pirates had put up somewhat of a fight defending their spoils, but had fallen eventually. Her Aspect warriors were mopping up the last stragglers and prepareing to sift through the Ork loot for valuables.
| |
| | |
| Perhaps this little venture would pay off in the end.
| |
| | |
| A message crackled through her comms. "Farseer, there's an incoming object on our long range sensors."
| |
| | |
| Now that was strange. They were in deep space, and she had only found this hulk out of pure luck. Who else would be in the area-
| |
| | |
| "Oh shit..."
| |
| | |
| "Farseer, the object is moving faster!"
| |
| | |
| Her face turned white. "Oh shit..."
| |
| | |
| "Incoming enemies!"
| |
| | |
| The hull of the hulk buckled under the weight of dozens of boarding vessles crashing through, and from them spewd forth a dozen black-clad giants!
| |
| | |
| "Yarr!"
| |
| | |
| "To the Galaxy's End!"
| |
| | |
| "And to treasure untold!"
| |
| | |
| "Beyond the farthest stars we go!"
| |
| | |
| "There is no fear we shall know!"
| |
| | |
| "FOR THE EMPEROR! YO HO HO!"
