Thank you so much for utilising so much of the lore I wrote into 'Portents' - it's ultra-gratifying.

[@emceha]

I was looking for a chapter with Polish flavor. Now I have Warsaw born religious maniacs with silver chains drip. All of them with firm believe that they are chosen by God himself and placed in Warsaw area, to carry the task of defending that flank of known Civilisation, Culture and Religion. It's a dangerous duty, as they will be wiped out first if the horde will come in force, but they accept it with an honor and pride. Weird bunch, but if they offer help, you know they mean it. For some reason their bosses names sounds oddly familiar. Artek was it? Andrzej? Arkadiusz? I don't know, nobody understands their accent anyway. 9/10 Polish, Thank You LOL What's the deal with Varsavia (Polish capital in Italian if someone don't know)), is that something from You? I now finally have a good project for that Molotov Chrome paint I bought 2 years ago. When airbrushed it looks like true chrome coating, amazing metallic effect. Good base layer for Silver Skulls. Marko Frisoni have few good videos on using that paint.

A chapter that has nothing to do with iron warriors 😊

They are definitely NOT from Dantioch's grand batallion... NO 😂😂😂

[@anirecapped.]

Iron Warriors were among the least superstitious of the legions; therefore, not likely.

[@Matt-md5yt]

they have his mask for their icon, but the Emperor's Scythes have the true mask as a relic.

[@marcialhd]

@@anirecapped. The author that created them clarified that's because most of them are recruited from the tribesmen of their chapter's homeworld and that they keep such traditions and superstition after becoming space marines (basically the culture of the recruiting world affecting the chapter over time). Plus Dantioch WAS superstitious and used the Emperor's tarot before being recruited by Guilliman for Imperium Secundus (and kept doing it even after that), so if they are truly the successors of his battalion then they could have just inherited the practice from him and over time combined it with those of the tribesmen of their new homeworld after they became the Silver Skulls chapter.

Such a strange iron warriors similarities, but heavy on psykers

[@abrahamxavierraja6742]

Between the Silver Skulls, Mortifactors, and Emperor Spears and provably another 10-20 chapters just due to how many UM successors there are supposed to be, I think Guilleman had Russ beat on the tribal/babarian/superstitious chic.

Whoever is in charge of logging the Astartes chapters must get so confused sometimes.

GILLIMAN made the loyalist Iron Warriors and Death Guard his Silver Skull and Mortifactors so that people wouldn’t kill them for being traitor stock. Also gives me a chance to make Primaris of the 4 and 14 with those conversion bits and my GILLIMAN model

@@Lomhow I love the line about Orikan and his general attitude "He would fist fight the sun if he thought it was telling him what to do."

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The Silver Skulls are example of just how far the Ultramarines successors can become, and perhaps their origins are more of a different genetic linage compared to the Warriors of Ultramar, but perhaps of a linage of iron from which that silver skull was made of.

[@darko-man8549]

1:42 I found out recently that these guys were actually supposed to be WS successors, seemingly another chapter that is a victim of “when in doubt Ultramarine or Imperial Fist”

Always nice to hear when a chapter treats its serfs with a bit of respect...definitely a surprise for Perty's sons.... ;)

[@rivensilvebois4729]

Love those videos, always a blast to discover a new chapter. I would love to see the dark krakens receive this treatment once you're done with the ultra's successors

[@darthkraven3257]

Next please the White Consuls and their interesting character Captain Vitrian Messinius, Lord Lieutenant of the fleet Tertius of the Indomitus Crusade.

[@yahiakhebour]

their chapter master must be francius castelius aka the emperor's punisher

[@RSBurgener]

Why do we think they're Iron Warriors, is it just because of their emblem? Is it because Dantioch's Batallion was sheltered by Guilliman? I don't think anyone bearing the geneseed of Perturabo could bring themselves to practice such a mystical and illogical method as the Silver Skulls do with their Librarians.

[@rexaxis3450]

But Dantioch himself used the emperor's tarot, he was superstitious himself to an extent, and the tribal culture of the recruits aren't stamped out by the extreme rigidity of the 4th, it's not so incredulous to me😊

ALGORITHM

[@ballistichimp]

Even choosing to overlook the wild differences in their methods of warfare, ideological approach and ritual trophy-taking ... The fact that they are Ultramarines successors, not Iron Warriors, is literally printed in the Codex. But sure, feel free to reject reality and substitute your own - it makes about as much sense as the Blood Ravens being Thousandsons successors when it has been publicly stated by the studio that they're not 🤣
