Yes, I've posted these guys before. However, I'm throwing it up once more because I think I've got it pretty damn solid (to my liking at least), and with the fluff to go with it.
Basic theme:
Heavily Norse based, the Stormreavers are a long lost chapter, many foundings removed from their hosts. Between the cursed lineage of Sanguinus and the crude, almost barbaric leanings of the Wolves, these two chapters came together on a Death World named Ragnarok. The battlegroup was nearly decimated, and their orbital vessels were lost. For decades the Astartes were forced to fend for themselves. In the end, they began to degrade from advanced warriors into something dark and grim, believing in superstition and omens. By the time rescue came, the survivors had become their own force, something blended from the myths of both chapters, not to mention the terrible nature of Ragnarok. They had become the Heralds of Death, the Stormreavers.
The Heralds
Canis Wolfborn - 205
+2 Fenrisian Wolves
The lord of the Stormreaver's calvary, the Herald of War is the rank given to the one who commands its ground forces.
Astaroth the Grim - 220
Commanding the skies, the Herald of War is the Reaper Incarnate, the shadow of murder overhead. His dark litanies spur the Angels to acts of destruction, trying to prevent the coming darkness.
The Hounds of War
Thunderwolf Cavalry - 150 (in squad with Canis)
x3, BP/CCW each
With the Herald, these four Riders mimic the Horsemen of ancient myth. Armed with ancient blades, these warriors are able to wreak havoc on any line, tearing through the most heavily armed soldiers with claws, fangs and blades.
Fenrisian Wolves - 88 (2 squads)
9 + Cyberwolf
Great direwolves, living incarnations of combat, these great predators rush forward to tear at the Stormreaver's foes.
The Angels of Death
Assault Marines - 230 (3 squads)
9 + 1, 2 Meltaguns, Sgt w/ PW/BP
The Angels of Death are the 'rank and file' of the Stormreavers. Trained in the art of warfare from above, meant to swoop down and tear into enemy lines. Some wield weapons of unholy flame that can melt through the strongest armor, while the captains of each rank wield fiery swords.
Death Company - 105 (in squad with Astaroth)
x3, BP/CCW
Escorting the Herald of Death, these Angels have forsaken everything to make sure that the Reaper reaches his foes.
The Demons of the Endtimes
Furioso Dreadnought - 150 (3 units)
x2 Blood Claw, Flamer, Meltagun, Extra Armor
The Hellhounds are massive beasts, monsters of science and technology from the world of Ragnarok that were tamed by the wolflords of the Reavers. Their hides armored, claws sharpened, their bodies psychically resonant to wield pyrokinetic powers in the form of destructive spears or torrents of flame.
