Like other chapters, the Emerald Wings consist of ten companies of ten squads each. The first company is the veteran company, the second through fifth companies are the battle companies, and the sixth through ninth companies are the reserve companies. The tenth company, however, is a support company, instead of the scout company in codex-compliant chapters (the Emerald Wings' scouts instead serve alongside the reserve companies), made up of heavy support squads.
The veteran company is made up of five Vanguard veteran squads and five Sternguard veteran squads, all fully equipped with jump packs. The chapter generally does not use terminator armor, as it is not mobile enough for their preferred doctrines.
Each of the battle and reserve companies is made up of four tactical squads, four assault squads, and two devastator squads. All ten squads in each of the battle companies are fully equipped with jump packs, as well as between two and five squads from each reserve company. None of the devastator squads in the reserve company are equipped with jump packs.
The tenth company is made up of ten devastator squads. These squads are generally not equipped with jump packs, often being made up of marines who have become injured or slow and unable to fight as effectively with a jump pack.
The Emerald Wings' airwing is easily their biggest divergence from the Codex Astartes. Unlike other chapters, who draw their pilots and drivers from the reserve companies, each aircraft of the Emerald Wings has its own dedicated crew, who pilot that aircraft in all engagements.
Starting a lore dump on my homebrew chapter (Yes, the blog is named after them)
Founded in the Eighth Founding, the Emerald Wings were one of a few chapters created at the time to carry on the legacy of Sanguinius.
Since their founding, they have earned a reputation for a mastery of aerial warfare, making heavy use of aircraft, skimmers, and jump packs. Aircraft and jump packs in particular are central to the Emerald Wings' doctrines, to the point where they are the biggest points of divergence between the chapter and the Codex Astartes.
Fulgrim is now a creature of the Warp, meaning his mental state greatly affects his physical state.
The virus bomb left no lasting mark on the primarch, but Rylanor's own words, the "denial of (his) magnificence," very much did.
I know (I think) that Rylanor making Fulgrim ugly is a joke, but the entire ordeal left a scar on Fulgrim’s ego. According my knowledge, a daemon prince or primarch can change their form to anything, so Rylanor’s defiance and bruise on Fulgrim’s ego caused him to not regenerate quite right
AO3 has a wonderfully built tag system, in my opinion. If you don't want to see something in a search, you can literally just scroll down and edit the "exclude" tags.
Honestly the tags is one of the biggest reasons why I prefer it over FF.net. You can often get an idea of what's in a story beyond just the summary.
Being a pro censorship ao3 user is so insanely cringe. Either use the (incredibly effective and well designed) filtering system to avoid seeing the shit you don't like or stop complaining. Leave the pro censorship rhetoric to Wattpad or smth
They're Dark Angels. Being gay is a given.
TIL that there's a canon trans Drukhari Wych Succubus. Like actually stated that she used to be male, but after reaching this rank she transitioned into being a female Drukhari and seems to be totally cool with it.
Slay.
I mean, I'd be down for being Fulgrim. I relate to him quite a bit.
Aaand one more meme from me. Enjoy!
my mum was googling for an article about why everyone in the lord of the rings film is white (like to be clear she was annoyed by this) and the google ai was apparently like “everybody in the lord of the rings is not white. gandalf is grey.”
Damn, AI *is* getting smarter!
World's most divorced man becomes first human to be alienated from both biological and digital children.
It's really funny to see a sci-fi versus debate where someone's like "Well, this franchise's ships are 10 times the size of that franchise's ships, so that franchise has no chance whatsoever" and the latter franchise is an anime where ships carry guns that shoot antimatter and the former pretends to be somewhat grounded and doesn't have antimatter weapons.
Size matters not, indeed.
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
Going to use this luck to ask someone out.
