Hey guys.
I made up my own chapter, the Brazen Fists.
Name: Brazen Fists
Chapter Colours: 
Background: A Codex Adherent Chapter. Not very well-known. Uses Imperial Fist geneseed.
Successor of the Imperial Fists. They get their name by how stubborn and stern they are. They always set up a wall of troops, slowly advancing towards the enemy, bolters roaring as they go. Formed last-second by the High Lords of Terra.
Their homeworld is that of Ith, a world covered in desert, broken by oasises and dense, thick jungles. It is located in the Segmentum Tempestus. The nights on Ith are ice-cold, and the days are very hot. Most cities are built underground, spanning miles deep underneath the world's crust. Only one city, Charlon, is built on the surface. Charlon is built on top of a high mesa that is surrounded by a thick jungle, which expands out into the desert. It is on the cooler side of the planet, so jungles in the area are much more frequent, as is rain. There are, however, very very small mining towns on the hotter sides of the planet, built into mountains, composed of shacks. They rely mostly on steam power, so, the cities are almost always warm, a cloud of steam covering the floor at all times on the streets.
The Fortress Monastery of the Brazen Fists is located deep within a hot, agonizing canyon full of great carnivorous lizards that would devour the unsuspecting visitor in a single sweep. It, like many cities built on the world, is underground, and expands deeper than any city on the planet. There is a great tunnel network to every city, giving the civilians easy-access to the fortress if any attacks come.
Organization: They follow the Codex Astartes strictly.
History: After the invasion on Rynns World, the Crimson Fists required to bolster their defenses. On the planet of Ith, where (at the time) underground mining colonies were frequent, the Orks had a base built, where they were terrorizing the miners, and launching Ork attacks to the Crimson Fists homeworld. Angered, Cantor sent a contingent of marines to the planet, led by Captain Reno. After fighting the Orks off the planet after a long invasion. These marines set up a base. The Orks continued pressing attacks, but the marines refused to give ground. Eventually, the Orks discontinued their attacks, and abandoned the planet.
Afterwards, Reno was commanded to hold here, building on the base. The cities of Ith thrived, growing larger. Eventually, The High Lords of Terra gave permission for a new Chapter, as the Segmentum Tempestus required more protection from the Greenskin menace (and other Xeno threats) It was a splinter-Chapter. After many months of testing, new sets of special Marine organs by the Adeptus Mechanicus on Mars were officially sanctioned by the Master of Adeptus Mechanicus and then by the High Lords of Terra "speaking for the Emperor". The Brazen Fists were born. Now the Crimson Fists were returned to Rynns World. Reno stayed as the new Chapter Master, along with several marines. Recruiting began. They quickly gained many new recruits from the workers and miners children. All were strong and all had strong hearts and will.
Recruitment: They recruit from the cities of Ith. They mainly recruit from the factory workers, who are as young as 10. They are already strong, having worked in the dark factories far beneath the surface the majority of their young lives. A Chaplain enters the cities once every year with two marines. They gather up every child they deem worthy, and bring them to the city square, where they examine them. They ask them riddles and questions (starting out easy then getting harder as they go.). Once this is finished, they take whatever hopefuls they have, and take this retinue of children to the next city and the process repeats itself.
After recruited, the raw recruits are taken back to the Fortress Monastery to be inducted. The Chaplains see to all this, and then after much schooling and teaching, the organs that separate man from superman are slowly implanted. Once finished, all are put into the Scout Company. From here, they go onto their final test.
Doom Heights, the nickname given to the great, unstable mountains filled with abandoned mining towns and shafts. It is closed off due to rockslides and a thick jungle that surrounds it. The area was colonized around the time the planet was hit by Human feet, but the Imperium abandoned it due to it being unstable land, leaving much of their machinery behind. Nightmareish creatures from the jungles moved in, and lurk in the dark areas here as well, making it the worst place on the planet. Most of the year, it is on the side of the planet where it is night longer than it is day, and where rainstorms are frequent.
Scouts are given a combat knife, a bolt pistol, several rations and a medical kit each. Then, the squad is dropped off by Thunderhawk and must survive one month within this hellish area. If they succeed, they are fully inducted as Battle Brothers.
Geneseed: They use Imperial Fist geneseed.
Symbol: A hammer on the left shoulderpad, a scimitar on the opposite. Marines wielding flamers have flames painted on their right shoulderpads.
If they have performed valiant acts on the field of battle, they paint their helmet crests orange. The chaplains define a good deed. Saving a battle brother counts as one, and taking out enemies much larger than them counts too. Surviving against a horrid enemy also counts.
sergeants have white circles on their left shoulderpads.
