WIP One day /tg/ did what it does and decided to roll up some new marines. But some renegades this time, cause working outside of the Imperium gives some elbow room. What they preceded to make was a bunch of Greek cannibal hedonist who worshiped their founder and made extensive use of Beastmen, with a rivalry against their Turk cousins. Also the ghost of their founder speaks to them (who's actually a Necron). Awesome.
Fluff
The History
Bracchus III was what is the closest to paradise in the Imperium one could achieve. On this planet was born, to a family of poor shepherds, were two brothers. Their names were Dionysus and Zephyr of Kris. Like most of the peasants of the world they lived simple lives. They played in the vineyards pretending to be soldiers as children and listened to the Satyrs play music in lavish fairs by night. During their childhood though a force of Xenos invaded the system. Fortunately they never saw them as the blue angels of death sent by the Emperor protected them. But this was what would take them far from home, the Astartes that protected them would recruit the two children to bolster their ranks.
By some Emperor sent miracle both brothers survived the life of a recruit and weathered the danger of the gene-seed. They had proved their worth and were made full fledged marines. Dionysus would be placed in the 5th company, and his brother would be placed in the 8th company, gaining his love of assault style tactics there. They would prove great marines participating in many battles and campaigns in this time of civil war. During one particular campaign the brothers were rewarded for their work. They would be granted the great honor of founding two new successor chapters. Dionysus would be given first choice and claim his homeworld and its system. Zephyr perceived this as a slight by his older brother and with no other suitable candidates was stuck with a feral world covered by tundra and steppes.
A rivalry would grow between the chapters as they interacted with each other. The hatred Zephyr harbored also grew on his world which he viewed as backwards. It would all come to a boiling point as (untrue)rumors of the Revelers dabbling in the powers of the warp grew. The two sub-sectors launched into a full scale civil war with both chapters at the head. The Far Hunters favor of mobility helped them, leaving the Revelers little time to set up proper defense. They would destroy Bracchus III, killing Dionysus, and the golden age facility protecting Bracchus III causing the Dionysus Revelers to go rogue and as punishment the Far Hunters sent on a penance crusade to retrieve them if possible, and destroy them if not.
