This Is Second Company, Alpha Squad. They Are The First Into The Fight. They Are Lead By An Old Soldier,

This is Second Company, Alpha Squad.  They are the first into the fight.  They are lead by an old soldier, Brother Sergeant Flaherty, a second generation Marine who is a veteran of many, many battles.  Brother Hyro bears there flamer, and has proven his heroism many times. They are currently awaiting reinforcements to bring them back to full battle strength.

Here Goes

I play Blood Angels in Warhammer 40K and I like to tell stories.  This Blog will have two "sides", a Fluff side where I will tell the stories of the many battles I will be fighting and a not fluff side where I will explain the numbers behind the battles and probably talk about the painting I am doing and the models I am adding. 

Here we go.

Log of Commander Stubs Imperial 713 Kerentian Mechanized

This is Captain Micheal of the Second Company astride his mighty steed Teacup. Basic Captain on a bike with a power sword and storm shield. Little bit of kit bash here.  Torso, head and sword from the Sanguinary Guard box, Bike and legs from the Space Marine Bike box, and a few added bits from both the Sanguinary Guard and Attack Bike box.   The storm shield is home made.  Green stuff and a little bit of wire, I think it came out quite well.   

The Beginning.

After the end of the Heresy, the great Space Marine Legions were divided into many, many Chapters.  One such chapter was called the Winged Brotherhood, a thousand Marines taken from the blood Angels Legion.  They were formed into ten mighty companies, and sent to the farthest reaches of the Imperium of Man.  In the years that followed many enemies knocked at the gates guarded by the Brotherhood.  Eventually, there were too many enemies between the Brotherhoods Chapter planet and holy Terra and all contact was lost.  Terra thought the Brotherhood and their protected planets lost to time and Chaos, but the Brotherhood fought on.  

The Brotherhood defended nine planets and kept them intact after contact was lost with Terra.  To do this the Marines expanded their ranks, increasing their numbers to that of a legion.  Enemies pressed on the edges of their territory and men worthy of becoming Space Marines were hard to come by.  To help find more, doctors and scientists of those planets searched tirelessly for many years to  give Space Marines children.  Now the children of Space Marines serve in the ranks, and serve elsewhere in society.  Research continued elsewhere as well, learning more about the Warp, space travel, genetics, and anything else that caught the fancy of scientists and students.  

The Space Marines of the Winged Brotherhood have defended these planets for millennium, but now the fight begins anew with new enemies, and allies.

Winged Brotherhood, Second Company, Bravo Squad.  They are led into battle by Sergeant Carter.  They are swift death with chain sword and bolt pistol.

As with Alpha, they are awaiting reinforcements to bring them up to full battle strength.
