Ever wonder what would happen if the Black Templars were an Ultramarines Successor Chapter? No? Well fuck you! Here's the Howling Griffons, they have a pain-in-the-ass-to-paint color scheme and are Robin Cruddace's favorite army and he has a bitching army of them
As mentioned above the Howling Griffons are a mix of Black Templars and Ultramarines. They go around crusading, taking oaths, some chapter-wide, some personal. Once taken they go to insane lengths (even by 40K standards) to complete them, even if it takes hundreds of years.
Like many Ultramarine successors, they follow the Codex to the letter, unless an oath prevents them. However unlike most, they don't see it as the holy bible, rather just the most awesomest military treatise evar! Humorously, they've actually read the damn thing and realized it has a ton of pages on how to use camo and stealth tactics and encouragements on pragmatism and using your brains. As a result, they're one of the few chapters that will repaint their armor to best suit the environment.
Due to the fact they often fight on multiple war fronts, they recruit from just about anywhere, allowing them to keep their numbers up, but most come from their homeworld of Mancora, which has a larger than normal psyker population.
They also have a thing against the Word Bearers because of many battles, ending with Lorgar's legion springing a raid on their Chapter Master and the eight Company, killing them all and raiding their ship. As a little present, they also tied the Chapter Master onto the hull of his own ship. Since then' the Griffons have dedicated themselves to killing the Word Bearers.
