The Sovereign's Appraisal are a chapter once again created from the Deathwatch Chapter creation table. Essentially, they are both a chapter more shit on than the Lamenters and the Legion of the Damned, and blur the line between Loyalist and Chaos so badly its hard to tell if they're heretics or chosen by the Big E himself (which according to their chapter master and general beliefs, they are). They're organized in a way that is like if batman ran the Byzantine Empire in Spehss, and it is glorious.

Summary

Color Scheme

Essentially the most shit on chapter that a group of fa/tg/uys could make and still be functional, The Sovereign's Appraisal was originally an Ultramarines successor chapter who may or may not been dicked over from the beginning by either Slaanesh or Tzeentch, though this has not been proved. It is theorized because they are possibly the most flawed and mutated chapter that isn't the Flesh Helms. Their Occulobe is oversensitive, the Oolitic Kidney secretes in a way that causes them to have light purple skin, and they lack two Zygotes (The Neuroglottis and Mucranoid). Because of this, the Ultrasmurfs openly shunned them for being impure and looking the part of Warp daemons, staining their glorious image. This would eventually lead to their loathing of their Progenitor, as well as be one of many reasons they were later declared Excommunicate Traitoris and subsequently hunted down by the Ultramarines with a fervor rarely seen outside of the Dark Angels. Another reason is that their own willingness to help others would be their downfall.

They also use the Ultramarines symbol and colors in their color scheme and heraldry, though now it is to troll them for being an impure chapter. It is rumored that this is one possible explanation for the Angry Marines, so great was their butthurt.

(To be finished at a later date)

Fluff

Insert fluff here.

Crunch

It is of note that due to their history, they have been rolled up on both the Loyalist and Chaos Space Marine Creation tables.

Space Marine Chapter Creation Table Crunch (For pre-excommunication chapter)

Why were they founded? Strategic Prognostication; meant to do some future event. In this case, fighting the Eldar; a mission doomed from the start.

When were they founded? 40th Millenium

Progenitor Ultramarines (Because making the most fucked-over and mutated chapter is a great spit upon Ward.)

Gene-Stock Purity? FLAWED AS FUCK

Codex Demeanors Uphold The Honour Of The Emperor, with slight aspects of Brothers in Battle, See, But Don't Be Seen, and Swift as the Wind

Gene-Seed Deficiencies? 3; Oversensitive Occulobe (light sensitive), Oolitic Secretions (odd-colored skin; likely purple because warp daemons), and two Lost Zygotes (Neuroglottis and Mucranoid)

Flaws Chapter Cult (Has something to do with Eldar Lore. Details to follow)

Figures of Legend Plutarch and Salva Boiler (See the end of first thread)

Chapter Homeworld Remains of the small Eldar Craftworld Ityasai inside a Warp Storm

Home World Predominant Terrain Urban Jungle

Relationship with Homeworld Direct Rule. Save Imperial Citizens and Adeptus Mechanicus, convert them to their view of the Emperor, and in exchange they are offered a peaceful existence upon the planet, doing the Emperor's will by aiding the chapter with finding food, supplies, weapon, and ammunition. As such, the Tech-Priests are good with Eldar tech. Somewhat. Mutations occur, but they're kept in check by the chapter, so that things don't go to hell.

Combat Doctrine Mixture of Stealth and Armoured Assault. Infiltration teams deploy Eldar Webway Gates whenever they are needed, then use them to drop in vehicles to steamroll in, and use them for a quick retreat if they end up taking heavy casualties, needing a quick escape, or are outclassed.

Specialty Restrictions No Devastators. Instead, they use Eldar support platforms with D-Cannons,Vibro Cannons, Shadow Weavers, or stripped and remounted with something like a heavy lascannon, multi-melta, heavy bolters, or something else nasty and large caliber. Eldar tech is used for an advantage, but not relied upon.

Special Equipment Modified/Rare Weaponry. Mixture of Eldar and Imperial Technology, using whatever they are able to get their hands on.

What form do the Chapters' beliefs take? The Emperor Above All, duh.

At what strength is the Chapter? Nominal. They are able to field anywhere between eight and nine companies at any given time, but prefer to not overextend their forces.

Friends of the Chapter Adeptus Mechanicus Splinter (Helps with Eldar Tech) Adeptus Soritas Splinter (Came to purge, some ended up staying) Lamentors? Adeptus Titanicus (3 Eldar (Two Revenant, One Phantom) scavenged and semi-operational, 1 Reaver-Class Imperial that was saved from a Chaos group.)

Enemies of the Chapter Eldar, Chaos, Inquisition, and Tyranids (only because the 'nids hate everyone)

Allies of Convenience Everyone else but the Tyranids, with non-lethal/retreats when facing the Imperium of Man, no matter the force (the only exception being Ultramarines, and even then, not full-on attacking. Harassment at most.). They immediately go after them after the major threat is down, however.

Chaos Warband Creation Table (For Citizenry)

Chaos Allegiance (Who favors them) Slannesh, but they despise it. Responsible for the gene-seed mutations, and nearly turning the chapter to Chaos, had it not been for Salva and Plutarch. Citizenry is also afflicted, but kept in line by the Chapter.

Frequency of Chaos 'Blessings' High, due to Slaanesh actively trying to convert them, actively living in a warp storm, and being calm outside of battle, but ferociously violent in battle.

Common Blessings The Eye that sees Beyond (aids psykers and finding places to install webway portals), Weapons of Chaos (Often sanctified as much as possible, and even then, the worst are usually avoided. Goes with the 'grabs whatever weapons they can get their hands on' aspect.), Deadly Protrusions (Evidence of heavy warp mutation in the chapter and citizenry).

Warband's HQ location Moot; done already.

Warband Build Cultists vs marines. Moot; they have a planet of citizens and allies

Recruitment Methods Moot; they get allies from splinter factions and those that they save

Combat Doctrine Moot; done already

Warband’s Exalted Champion Moot; chapter master

Deed for the God Moot; chapter doesn't do shit for slaanesh, and slaanesh is still trying to get them to come over to Chaos

Chaos Space Marine Creation Table (For Mutations in Chapter)

Legion Warband or Renegade Chapter? Moot; Renegade, declared Excommunicate Traitoris.

Chaos Worship Slaanesh tries to drag them to Chaos. They hate it and refuse.

Why did they fall? (Renegades only) A series of major mutations appeared in the Chapter's gene-seed. The Ultramarines shunned them, eventually deployed to remove the impure Marines, but when they failed the Chapter broke their bonds with the Imperium.

Original Traitor Legion (Legion Warbands and Descendents only) Moot; They're renegade to the Imperium.

Devotion to the Ruinous Powers Loathed

Warband Demeanour Stalk the Prey

Common Mutations/Deficiencies (if Neutral or Fanatic devotion) Daemon Wings in place of jump packs

Common Mental Flaws (if Fanatic devotion) Not Fanatic

Figure of Legend We have this.

Deeds of Legend And this

Warband Homeworld and this

Homeworld terrain And this

Combat doctrine moot

Special Equipment Stolen Technology

What form do the Chapters' beliefs take? Been there, done that. Emps is the man.

Warband Status Done.

Warband allies. Who has our back? Allies of Convenience with Chaos

Who are the Warband's enemies? Basically done, since they don't fight the Imperium, and that's the majority of this table.
