This is a place to further develop, document & share my Warhammer 40k armies and their lore. After over 25 years of collecting and playing, I thought it might be time to actually fix my loose and ever-evolving ideas into a semi-coherent and cohesive story and add it to the endless collections of the Imperial Archives.

It is very much a work in progress, and as such is subject to updates & changes on a complete lack-of-schedule, regularity, or periodicity. While I will make some effort to at least generally correlate to the canon, I reserve the privilege to fabricate as whimsy suits me. I apologize in advance for my lack of literary prowess, as this is also my first public stab at story-telling.

Without further ado, let us get to the story...

Physical Origins: Initially a homebrew Chapter of Space Marines forged from splitting the 2nd Edition Dark Millennium box with a friend circa 1994. This same friend also introduced me to Necromunda, and a bespoke Delaque gang was added to my initial collection. My high school years ended, and life took me away from collecting and playing until ~2010. Re-entry into the WH40K universe saw an expansion of the original Space Marine collection and formulation of more formal backstory, some of which unintentionally correlated to some of the canon. A Chaos Space Marine off-shoot collection has 'fallen' from the original Chapter, an Imperial Guard army gifted to me from another friend was absorbed, and the influence of the Fallen has given rise to a nascent Chaos Demon army.
