Rites of Battle

NOVAMARINES
The Novamarines are one of the proud Primogenitor Chapters, sired by the Ultramarines Legion in the Second Founding. The Chapter’s homeworld of Honourum is to be found in the galactic north of Ultima Segmentum, a great distance from the Ultramarines’ Realm of Ultramar. The region is sparsely populated and its proximity to the Halo Stars means that the Chapter’s sphere of influence and area of operations is great indeed. The Halo Stars, as well as the vast tracts of unexplored wilderness space around Honourum, are host to all manner of ancient threats, nascent alien empires and as-yet undiscovered lost human worlds. As a consequence, the Novamarines have seen action against a wide range of enemies, from terrible alien monstrosities to isolationist human realms that refuse to bow to the rule of the Imperium. Perhaps partly because the Novamarines operated across such a wide area, the Chapter has very rarely gathered all ten of its companies in one place. As far as can be ascertained, this has not occurred since the 37th Millennium, so active and far-flung are its companies.
As a Primogenitor Chapter, the Novamarines maintain close links to the Ultramarines and the other Successor Chapters. The great distance between Honourum and Macragge means that the Chapter is unable to send representatives to the court of Marneus Calgar as often as its brother Chapters, but every Novamarine aspires to make a pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Primarch at least once in his lifetime. Those that have done so traditionally mark the fact by adorning their battle helmets with a laurel wreath, a mark of honour that the Chapter’s Scouts regard with awe and dream of one day gaining for themselves.
The Novamarines contributed a large force to the battle against the Tau Empire, based far to the galactic south of Ultima Segmentum. This deployment surpassed normal operations and took on the character of a crusade, scouring the upstart aliens from several systems in and around the Lithesh Sector and earning many glorious battle honours in the process. When the crusade force was ordered by Inquisitor Lord Kryptman to redirect to Macragge to face Hive Fleet Behemoth, the Novamarines sped to the side of their Progenitors. In the aftermath of the Battle for Macragge, the Novamarines contingent remained in the region for several months, rearming and refitting before making for the Jericho Reach. The Chapter’s first battles were exclusively fought against the Tau of the Velk’han Sept, fighting a series of space engagements rimward of the Black Reef. The Novamarines have recently taken losses from which they are rebuilding following a number of less than successful assaults on turncoat human warlords on Iphigenia.
CREATING A NOVAMARINES CHARACTER
Character Creation: Novamarines characters are created according to the rules given in the DEATHWATCH Rulebook for Ultramarines. In addition, the following points apply. Masters of Ultima: Having fought across the xenosridden depths of their home region for millennia, the Novamarines Chapter has gained invaluable knowledge in the ways of the alien. Novamarines characters gain a +10 bonus to Forbidden Lore (Xenos) rolls.
NOVAMARINES ADVENTURE SEED
A Novamarines character serving in the Jericho Reach Deathwatch is likely to be a veteran of both the Damocles Gulf Crusade and the Battle for Macragge. During the bitter fighting to take the city of Gel’bryn on the Tau sept world of Dal’yth Prime, the character fought the Tau leader known as “Commander Scornfoe,” who frustrated his efforts and escaped amid the chaos and anarchy of the final stages of the assault. Word has reached Watch-Station Erioch that the very same Tau commander has been reported by the Departmento Tacticae as leading a cadre in the Greyhell Front, and the Battle-Brother sees the opportunity to settle an old score. Will the character’s Watch-Captain agree and assign him to a mission to neutralise the enemy leader, or will the Battle-Brother’s previous failure to do so be counted against him?'
