Fists of Cadia

[Oztoon]

so ive been thinking alot about the Cadian Gate and the Crusades and what not and have had an idea. seeing how cadia is a fortress world and is the only safe rout out of the Eye why doesn't Cadia have a Astartes Chapter of its own? So ive started a project to create such a chapter and have started to put together the fluff for the Fists of Cadia but was wondering what ya'lls thoughts would be on the whole idea.

Its not really stated as to why (at least I'm not familiar with it) as to why Cadia doesn't have a chapter. But I know there is a specific founding of space marine chapters whose soul purpose is to patrol and protect the Cadia and the Eye.

But I am interested in hearing your fluff. What do you have so far?

[Oztoon]

well so far ive got thus far
-They were founded very shortly after the 12th Crusade
-theyre gene seed comes from either Imperial Fists or Iron Hands ( im leaning more towards Imperial Fists)
-They are more stewards then rulers of cadia......creeds doing a good job so far lol
-Being based on cadia they recruit from the cadian white shields.....seeing how they are young enough to recruit and only the toughest and best survive to move on to the shock troops.
-they have slightly more astartes then most chapter....reason being theyre right at the eye.
-they of course have close relations with the cadian regiments and their colour scheme relfects that of the shock troops.
-they speacilize in defence and overwhelming firepower

now this all has to be filled out and what not but this is the basic idea for the Fists....ive also thought about them getting better equipment and tech as to the High Lords wouldnt want them to be lacking in the ability to defend Cadia.

Sounds like an interesting concept... Are you planning on making them the same color as the Cadian shock troops or will they have a different scheme?

[Oztoon]

thanks, they will have same scheme to a degree as the shock troops.

Sounds like a great idea.
I think the Relictors (originally the Fire Claws) were corrupted while guarding the Eye of Terror region. They became obsessed with collecting relics and artefacts.
There are possibly loads of chapters guarding the region, but there's always a need for more as the could be a new incursion from the Eye at any moment.

Thanks for the encouragement..... I'm currently working on the filling out their background
