A Second Founding Chapter from White Scars Geneseed. Known for their involvement in the defence of Armageddon. Also notable for their having a half and half scheme and FOUR colours in their palette, which means that absolutely fucking no-one has ever actually painted these bad boys up for use in battle. Anyone who shades red, white, black and yellow all in one mini all within a tiny margin of each other on the same piece of plastic is fucking insane or a genuine da Vinci of miniature painting.
Not to be confused with the lords of the Stormlands in A Song of Ice and Fire (who are occasionally called the Stormlords).
It's likely that they were founded from the Brotherhood of the Storm, who rose to prominence during the Horus Heresy. Seeing as Shiban Khan is one of the Scars' main Heresy characters, it's possible that we'll see a bit of a boost for the Storm Lords if this is ever confirmed.
Even though almost nothing exists about the Storm Lords chapter organization, what little does exist has been retconned. Some sources say that they're the epitome of a codex chapter and that they color their helmet in the company color- making the chapter's color scheme even more of a mess. I mean, there are Storm Lords with fucking green, purple and blue helmets out there somewhere.
Sometime between the battle for Ichtar IV and the battle for Armageddon, Gee Dub official writers completely forgot about that one and only piece of fluff written on the Storm Lords in an official codex, as the Storm Lords are now separated into Brotherhoods like the White Scars- with no further justification for the gaudy yellow helmets.
They have a sibling rivalry with the White Scars, and are always trying to prove themselves to their first founding brethren (who are WAY more popular). They're failing, of course, since older siblings are never impressed with younger ones. The White Scars continue to be considered super badass, and the Storm Lords continue to be "those marines that wear jester outfits."
But, hey, they show up from a distance better than any faction in pretty much any environment (snow, jungle, hive world, lava covered deathworld, etc).
