TP (BB) RIVERS OF BLOOD (formerly DM 1112-J)

by DM B  

The biggest transport ship of the fleet (it's the size of an Imperial battleship). This massive corporate vessel was once used to haul indentured workers bought on one world to their destinations. On this particular ship there was an uprising and the serfs took over. Worship of Khorne became widespread among the ships countless residents. Leaders were elected through mortal combat. Captain Kraal - Champion of Khorne - ran the ship for years, until he and his berserkers were killed, more or less to the last man, upon the surface of Karrik. The ship has since been taken over by the 10th fleet and put to use as it's primary mass infantry transport. At any one time there will by 100,000 or more brotherhood warriors and cult troops on board.

TP (CL) BLACK DREAMS OF DESPAIR

by DM B  

Black Ship captured over Maris. Its commanding Inquisitor is now a prisoner aboard the Bringer of Faith and the psyker cargo was consumed by the crew of the Osiris. Claimed as a prize by Captain Uriel, but later gifted to the 10th Fleet. Hastily refitted over Torfal. The ship is the size of a Light Cruiser, meaning it’s much bigger than the Broken Chains – but it’s not a big vessel relative to true bulk freighters. The Black Dreams has primarily been used to ferry priority supplies to the 10th Host; because of its speed and stealth capabilites it's ideal for running the Imperial gauntlet between Diamantina and Asmodeus' forces.

TP (DD) BROKEN CHAINS

by DM B  

Ex-Chains of Judgement. Originally an Iconoclast-class DD. Converted into a special-purpose Inquisitorial transport ship. The ship retains only a light battery armament, but has excellent speed and defences for a transport vessel. Found adrift in the void by Castor and restored to working order. Now serves the role of fast armoured transport for the Daughters of the Word. Typical assignments include transporting battle covens for the suport task force and daughter comand and control during landing /ground war.

CVE DURANTE'S HONOUR

by Apostle Castor  

Light Cruiser (CL) of unknown (possibly Defiant-class) STC pattern, extensively refitted as an Escort Carrier (CVE). One of the original raiders the ship has been reassigned to Fleet duties, more specifically as an escort to the fleet train. Its priority mission is to protect the Divine Heralds, in space, in the air, and on the ground. To this effect the ship carries a mix of dedicated voidfighters (Furies) and aerospace fighters (Lightning and Thunderbolt), enabling it to act as an escort for the Titan Tender all the way from orbit to the ground.

Captain duRante is a convert to the Word and have been accepted into the Lodge of the Star Walkers, despite not being Astartes. He is extremely loyal to the Word and Will of Castor and has begun spreading the gospel among his officers. The ship is well cared for and has been continuously upgraded since the beginning of the 3rd Reaving. The crew are all veterans of the Reaving, making the ship the best-crewed vessel in the 10th Fleet.

CA DIVINE ZEPHYR

CG Zephyr Prime

by Apostle Castor  

Anchient GC Avanger class- used over Zephyr for orbital/system defence as its warp drive burned out ages ago. Taken by storm using assulat marines followed by regular marines.

As a part of the deal to rise Vinis-12 in Mechanicus Rank (and gain the host more production ships) A new Warp drive was gotten and Zephyr prime joins the other GC in the 1st Crusier division.

Sigismund

by DM B  

Sigismund is the name of the boy that the Adeptus Sororitas guarded so diligently in their fortress on Zephyr. Found in the wilderness several years prior by a childless couple he remembered nothing of his early years - save his name. He was adopted into the local community, but quickly attracted the attention of the Sisters when rumours of his intelligence, charm, and physical perfection reached the ears of High Palatine Salt. The Sisters studied him very closely indeed, for he proved quite unlike any other man they had encountered. Eventually the decision was made to dispatch him to the Adeptus Terra, but because of the Reaving of Finial, Kull raiders, and the general chaos of the Segmentum Solar the transport mission was aborted several times.

When the 10th finally breached the Sisters' fortress after nearly a year of combat and siegecraft Captain Anaximander (in the guise of a sergeant of the Tigers Argent) prevented the elimination of the boy. When faced with Castor the boy seemed both unafraid and open-minded. Very unlike most Imperials. The boy's blood proved extremely potent and Castor decided to go to Segmentum Tempestus to present him to the Primarch. He suspected the boy might be the reincarnation of the Black Templar's legendary founder by the same name. Based upon this assumption Castor decided to go ahead and turn him into an Astartes. Over the course of the 6-month journey the boy grew at an unprecedented rate. He also proved and apt an willing pupil, absorbing ever scrap of the Word presented to him. His mind was undeniably a religious one. He would sometimes question the Word or add to it, pointing out that faith was always changing. Even Lorgar had reinvented himself once - and adjusted his teachings multiple times after that.

Lorgar more or less confirmed the boy's pedigree, but noted that he might in fact be one of the lost Primarchs instead. He could not tell for certain. He then dismissed the boy as unimportant, for his eyes are fixed on the grand prize - the reincarnated Emperor - and he has no time for lesser creatures. He bade Castor take care of the boy and his education, indicating he had great confidence his Apostle.

On the way back to Calixis Castor had Anaximander train the boy in combat and warcraft. Aagin he proved a most apt student, easily picking up the skills of a full Astartes in less than half a year. In all he's as fine a Space Marine as you can hope for, fearless and with peerless combat skills. He also has the fire and the faith. Men follow him easily.

The question is, what are you going to do with this Sigismund?

Chaplain Theobald Kor

by Apostle Castor  

Chaplain of the 15. Chaplain Theobald is know to his peers as the reverend for his fait is strong, his conviction never faltering, his way with the word allways firm. His devotion to the host, the primarch and the Apostle a exsample to others. Few would have forsen that Theobald would advocate Kathryn for captain. But Theobald lives for the word and the will of the true everlasing gods and what they will they get. He protects his captain in battle toghter with two other veterans of the long war. They agree that they live and fight for the host, the word and the Apostle but they have sworn to die for there captain.

Captain Kathryn

by Apostle Castor  

Captain of the 15th company Kathryn is the most spesial captain in the 10th host for she is not a WB or even a Astardes, she is a dauther of the word risen to comand by her zeal and fait(and a rutlessness in battle that few can rival) The best and the brithest of the dauthers, small in stature but great in spirit. Few can rival her understanding of the two pillars of the host fire and fait, she is devote to the word and the apostle and she has aundrstanding of war that is almost unnatural. She rose too comand when the sergant leading fell, the 15th stoped, leaderless and with out focus- untill her samll voice sounded over the comes leading thne brothers in devotional psalms nad then in tactical manovers. After the battle the chaplains took augeries and concluded with thhe blessing of theh Apostle that it was indeed Kathryn who was ordanied in blood nad fire to lead the company.

Kathryn fights toghter with the other most devote to the old school of fait and uter desimation of all enemys, the captain of the 18, the towering Iconclast. They are of one mind when it comes to fanatical devotion.

Captain Guerto "Iconoclast" Bahaus

by Apostle Castor  

Captain of the 18th company. Old school WB, fights with fait and zeal. armed and vested in terminator armour, in hand he caries a powermaul that brakes men, as good as it breaks the Icons of the false emperor. Hates the empire abov all else, looks apon him self and his comand as the apostels iron fist in braking down the corupt power of terra. Has few friends(and is happy with that state of afeirs) among the other captains because of his tendency to lecture them on there lack of fait. The eception is Captain Kathryn of the 15 who match him in devotion and zeal. The two companys fight toghter often and the captains tend to stand togther little Kathryn and huge Guerto...But toghter they form a unbrakebal wall of fire and fait.

Captain Azoreck

by Apostle Castor  

17 company captain.  Azoreck fancyes him self a noble in the new order of the universe. A coneceur and colector  of Eldar artifacts. A hunter of men and beasts alike. favores a Bolt sniper rifle. One of the new breed of post human, still devote as all Word Bearars but with more refinement needed to rule and guide humanity after the wars in service of the true gods.
