Rough summarization

[please not that this will be revised and refined soon] The Ice Serpent chapter is an Ultra marine sucsessor chapter that actually is descendent of the Loyalist Luna Wolves that where absorbed by the UM after the heresy. Our Original Chapter Master was said to be as powerful as the Primarchs, but was killed in battle bye a Assassin sent by an Eldar corrupted planetary governor. Leading to the Eldar being the main enemy of the Ice Serpents. originally the chapter did not know it's true lineage until the Chief Librarian Novus Inimicus revealed the truth.

the Ice serpents modus-operandi in battle is armor, artillery and walls of lead, to the point of having no assault marines out of the Space Knights company. The amount armor of the Ice Serpants allow each company to have at least 6 land raiders, and 2 bane blades. [yes, Baneblades] Even the Frost Zephyrs[scout company] have a few Scout variant Banblades.

The Ice Serpents do not turn their failed Marines into severators when possible. instead Folding them into the Space Knights Company, lead by Chaplin-Captain Galeus 'Fumbles' Cycanus. the Space Knights See them selves as a stain upon the Ice Serpants and an affront to the God Emperor, Leading them to throw them selves at their foes with a fiery rage with no regard to their safety, hoping to die for their god and chapter while killing their foes. Most find their absulotion in 2 or 3 battles but those who survive several engagements often request augmentations to further their quest for death. the most common are chain fists and chain swords to replace hands and Aggression booster implants, one, Knight Erlicid has survived over 3 dozen engagements, which others would think a blessing, he considers it a curse: to be denied his chance to absolve his sins with his death. Erlicid has had tens of augmentations, limb replacements, optic enhancements Slaught' injectors connected to his spine. His left hand replaced with a chainsword and a storm botler grafted to his right. he is a terror on the battle field.

The Ice Serpents have Control two planets, the Shrine-world Glacialis Elle that is a death world in all but name, and the forge world Glacialis Binary.

Glacialis Elle is covered in a 6 mile thick shell of ice supported by massive plateaus mesas and buttes that cover the surface. Bio luminecent bacteria live on the roof of the caverns, casting a pale glow on the land bellow. the terrain it's self is insanely hostile with crags, rifts, mountains and skree fields littering all but the beaches of the toxic seas. this means that the only efficient means of civilian travel is gravcars and Striders a civilian variant of the sentinels imported from Binary.

The flora and fauna of Glacialis Elle is hardy, aggressive and big. from crabs the size of tanks, to vicious macro-krill the size of cats. the only reason Elle is not a death world is because officially, only the surface of the shell is inhabitable. Glacialis Elle is ringed by 8 moons, each wit it's own meandering path. the two farthest out are the space ports of Elle, one for the civs, one a void fortress of the Ice Serpents.

Elle's sister planet, Glacialis Binary, is a extremely advanced forge world capable of producing vast quantities of military supplies, feeding the armored legions of the Ice Serpents. One of the few exports that don't go into the Ice Serpent's hands, the massive factories churn out Warhound Titans almost In Mass. The relatively massive turn-over of these God-Machines are the primary reason the other Powers that be in the Imperium don't mind the Chapter owning it's own forge-world.


The Ice Serpents are allies with the Emperors Nightmares, as both are willing to look past each others oddities [luna wolves descendants and insomnia respectively] and work together to smash any foe foolish enough to face them. Tank legions from the Second Company and massed, artillery bombardment from the Eleventh Company bolster the Shock and Awe tactics of Battlegroup Primus. Precision strike and advanced scouting drones of the Fourth Company supplementing the clock and dagger operations of Battlegroup Secundus.
