Lumbermarines

The Lumbermarines are once again another product of fat/tg/uys playing around with the Chapter Creation tables from Rites of Battle. A few rounds of rolling and it ended up as; an Blood Angels successor chapter so painfully North American it hurts. Eventually culminating in the production of a tier list for beards.

Essentially they were established during the height of the Beheading, after Veteran Sergeant Cleutin and the Shroud of Sanguinius passed through their homeworld. From a miraculous event, a forest of vermilion trees sprung up. Taking this as a sign, a few of the passing Blood Angels, including the notable Paulus Bunyan stayed behind to culture what would soon become the forces of the Lumbermarines, an army so rugged, so manly, that it oozes out of them with the consistency of Maple Syrup, staining their faces with beards century old.
