Deathwatch Veteran (Griffon Lords chapter)


Veteran with Stalker pattern boltgun.


The Griffon Lords are a Loyalist Codex Astartes-compliant Space Marine Chapter of unknown Founding and uncertain origins. 


This Chapter is a rare example where its Astartes' beliefs are in conflict with official Administratum records, as they claim to be descended from the Ultramarines' Primarch Roboute Guilliman, even though official data-files show that their ancestry is that of Jagathai Khan's White Scars.

Deathwatch Veteran (Minotaurs chapter)

The Minotaurs are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter whose actual origins and Founding remain unknown. 


The Minotaurs possess a reputation for being unusually xenophobic Astartes, even for the Imperium, as well as often unreliable combatants who do not work well with other Imperial military units.

Deathwatch Veteran (Howling Griffons chapter)


Veteran with Deathwatch frag cannon.


The Howling Griffons are a Loyalist Space Marines Chapter founded in the 33rd Millennium from the gene-seed of the Ultramarines.


The Howling Griffons take a special pride in their oaths, seeing each as the promise of an unending effort until the deed sworn in the oath is accomplished or the oathtaker has been slain in the trying.


Completed or satisfied oaths are taken as a badge of honour, often inscribed on parchments or directly into the Power Armour of the oathtaker.

Deathwatch Veteran (Red Hunters chapter)


Veteran with heavy thunder hammer.


The Red Hunters are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown origins and Founding that has strong ties to the Inquisition. 


The Red Hunters Chapter has a long history of putting themselves at the service of the Inquisition and the entire Chapter has been known to serve under the command of an Inquisitor Lord on certain occasions.


The Red Hunters call the world of Montsegma home.

Deathwatch Veteran (Flesh Tearers chapter)


Veteran equipped with boltgun and close combat weapon.


The Flesh Tearers are the smallest Second Founding Successor Chapter of the Blood Angels, numbering only four full companies of Astartes. 


Like their progenitors, the Flesh Tearers are known for their bloodthirsty nature in battle, bad temper and feared for the flaws like the Black Rage and the Red Thirst that they carry within their gene-seed.


Many Chapters have become wary of the Flesh Tearers, with their dire reputation for unrestrained carnage and their excesses of violence. 


The Flesh Tearers call the violent and tropical Death World of Cretacia home.

Deathwatch Veteran (Star Phantoms chapter)


Veteran with Stalker pattern boltgun.


The Star Phantoms are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of the 23rd Founding created in the early 38th Millennium from an unknown origin. Some Imperial savants suspect that the Star Phantoms were created from the gene-seed of the Dark Angels. 


Created during the so-called "Sentinel" Founding, the Star Phantoms were one of several Chapters whose mission was to take and hold various xenos-contested regions on the very borders of the Emperor’s domains.


The Star Phantoms became a fleet-based Chapter after the loss of their homeworld Haakoneth, slowly rebuilding their strength and participating in numerous conflicts and interventions across the Segmentum Obscurus.


The Star Phantoms' success during the final apocalyptic engagement of the Badab War was honoured by the granting of overlordship over the now ruined worlds of the Badab Sector, and the Chapter chose the ice-moon of Jahga in the Archean System upon which to found their new fortress-monastery.

Deathwatch Veteran (Sons of Medusa chapter)


Veteran with boltgun and close combat weapon.


"Purge the Weak!"


The Sons of Medusa are a Loyalist Successor Chapter of Space Marines drawn from the unforgiving Iron Hands Chapter whose existence was ratified by an Imperial edict of the High Lords of Terra in 011.M37. 


The thousand or so Battle-Brothers of the Sons of Medusa belong to one of three War Clans, the Lachesis, the Mageara, and the Atropos.


Like their forebears among the Iron Hands, the Sons of Medusa have a particular hatred for weakness in any form. 


In the late 39th Millennium, the Sons of Medusa established a series of fortified asteroid stations in the abandoned mining system of Taelus to serve as a more permanent facility and fortress-monastery for their otherwise fleet-based Chapter.
