Red Scorpions background

[Sergent Zhyr]

ultramarines are pure but not even close to as pure as the Red Scorpions

questioning the purity of the Red Scorpions will get you in to some real trouble...

Thats rich given that you have no idea which legion they came from. They could be from anywhere.

High Lord of Terra: "I say, Marneus, do you happen to have any spare Gene-seed around? We were quite hoping to raise another chapter"
Marneus Calgar: "Not really...well we did have some but we were going to throw it out with the rest of the garbage next week."
High Lord of Terra: "Well that will have to do I suppose. Any thoughts as to what we should call them?"
Marneus Calgar: "Whatever, red something or others. Red bugs perhaps?"
High Lord of Terra: "We'll take that into consideration. Thank you Marneus."

Red Scorpions are shrouded in secrecy.

They never listen to the corrupt high lords of Terra.

They have an unblemished record of service.

Their new brothers are inducted as infants so they have no outside culture, the chapter is their only culture.

Seems to me that they are pure in both word and deed..

Damm tooten they are all that and a bag of kick ass.

[Primarch]

From Codex Space Marines:

"There are 3 categories of Space Marine Chapter. The first and largest group could be called the scions of Guilliman. They honour Roboute Guilliman as Primarch and his successor as their liege.
Chapters in the second category owe their genetic inheritance to another Primarch. These chapters can never be Ultramarines. Nevertheless, they will ever aspire to the standards and teachings of Roboute Guilliman.
The third and final group are aberrants. Some such as the Blood Angels strive to be worthy of Guilliman's legacy, but their gene-seed drives them ever further from it."

So you're either like the Ultramarines and recognise them as being the best of the group, trying to imitate the Ultramarines, or just a bunch of freaky mutants.
Mutants hmmm? Maybe thats why you keep all those apothecaries around?

Seriously though, the fluff for this game is so full of holes, you can be pure if you want to be. I wont tell anyone the truth....

[Admiral-Badruck]

That's just plain mean

[Sergent Zhyr]

I just like the chapter colours.

The fluff around them makes them seem pure.

I wish I could use the scout special rules.

Feel no in each tactical squad makes up for it.

FNP in tactical squads is a real pain to deal with, speaking as an eldar player...

[Colonel Voss]

speaking as an imperial guard player, meh, whatever.

[Primarch]

speaking as an imperial guard player, meh, whatever.

Real soldiers dont need power armour.
Real soldiers dont need Feel No Pain.
Real soldiers dont need We'll be back.
Real soldiers dont need Waaagh or Fleet or Move Shoot Move.

Real soldiers just need REALLY big guns.

[me_in_japan]

tell that to the Tau...

[Admiral-Badruck]

well there this went off topic quickly... Again... Well done guys..
