Mentors: The Freshmakers

A Space Marine chapter Games Workshop made for some reason, back in Rogue Trader days. It's a Space Marine Chapter that is quite different in the Grimdark 40k realm. They are the book nerds of 40k and love to seek out new knowledge AND they actually use it...unlike the other people. Also they let other forces "borrow" a few squads, so that the squad reports anything they learned from their mission, straight back to the chapter. One might say they are quite...Reasonable.

Some people find this humorous. Others suspect them of being a loyalist Thousand Sons chapter, or an imitation of said Legion when they were at their awesomest, i.e. before they turned to Chaos and degenerated into scheming vizier-sorcerors or walking piles of dust.

They also have one of the best fighting units in the Imperium, known as the Elite Cadre. These dudes are used to test new stuff the Admech made (read: dug up) in battle. With their experience and special gadgets, they are pretty cool dudes.

They seem to have strange and suspicious shit around them, as only the highest of the Adeptus Terra know the location of their fortress monastery, where the majority of the chapter spends training with only a few squads going out on missions, and their chapter master Nisk Ran-Thawll (Sounds more like a barbarian than a wise scholar) is rumored to have met the Emperor himself in person several times.

They often clash with the Eldar of the Biel-Tan, probably to determine who gets to use the white-and-green color scheme.

Mentors Legion Gadgets

  • Mentors Bolters: Just really good bolters that are better at shooting.
  • Plasma Missiles: Based off Eldar tech, these are missiles that explode in plasma.
  • Targeting Web: A series of helmet and brain implants that allow the Mentors to focus their fire on a single target really well.
  • Time Warper: Fucks up the time stream using the Warp to make the squad faster.
  • Shift Field: Distorts light to make the squad hard to see.

The Retconening

This article or section involves Matthew Ward, Spiritual Liege, whom is reviled on /tg/. Because this article or section covers Ward's copious amounts of derp and rage, fans of the 40K series are advised that if they proceed onward, they will see fluff and crunch violation of a level rarely seen.

In Codex Space Marines of 5th Edition, the Mentors are mentioned as a secretive chapter that prefers to work alone. This goes against their very name, as they were named because they are taught by the Space Marines they assist and in turn teach the Imperial Guard they serve with. Goddamnit Ward, you've ruined their entire gimmick.
