Basically the title. If there was a legion/gene-seed that could be considered the “greediest”/most covetous of material wealth. I see Fulgrim being a reasonable option, but I wanna know if there’s a loyalist equivalent at all.

    Angels Resplendent before their change to the Angels Repentant. They hoarded massive amounts of art and artists which brought them close to falling to chaos. They used art as a way to quench the Red Thirst and Black Rage. Each suit of power armor was heavily decorated with elaborate paintings, embellishments, etc.

    They’re the main space marine chapter in the Dark Coil series.

      Thank you! I was considering making my own successor chapter that was essentially “hoarders” or generally mercantile in a ruthless manner. This is all just a “sketch” of what I’m thinking so far. A chapter made during the 23rd founding; their purpose, they felt, was to reach for the stars and become as powerful as possible through the oaths, trades and tithes they had. To make the most of what they have, gamble on it in constant search for more power to serve the Emperor. I intended them to be especially focused on dealing with Rogue Traders. They will want to seek working with them; on their dangerous, foolish missions; in search of conquest and power in the lost stars that they can add to their own chapter.

      The black rage would be an interesting twist to them. Mostly I ask because while I like how the Dark Angels play on tabletop; these don’t particularly strike me as Dark Angel successors. It’s nice to have a lore focused on the reality of it; to which you can work around that.

      Also good to see you around, Belly_Beanis

        Also Peter Feheravi writes some pretty dope grimdark 40k horror. The Reverie is a good place to start with, especially if you’re looking at decadent space marine loyalists. Some of his prose is a bit awkward, but otherwise I like him (and I generally hate Black Library).
