he Space Marine portion of the Defenders of Varadon.  Almost entirely made up of the Primaris Marines, coming from the gene-seed of the original Shadow Wolves, a successor to the Iron Fists.  They are the custodians and rulers of Varadon. 

​

Based on orders given by Roboute Guilliman, the chapter learns it’s craft from a number of different sources, in a tradition called the Siúlta.  A new battle brother spends time with other successors of The Iron Fists, Raven Guard, Salamanders, Ultra Marines, and finally the Deathwatch to hone their skills and to learn to work using different tactics.  This creates a very versatile force that is prone to tactical improvisation and a skill in seeing the strength of all people. 

 

On Varadon all are considered by their merits, as such, even sub species that would not be tolerated in other parts of the imperium are treated with respect.  It is not unusual to see a Gor or Squat at a tactical briefing, and often a normal human will be given tactical command over a mixed group of Marines and Auxiliary forces.

​

When a major offensive is called for, this is what will normally be sent (in other words, this is my intended Collection/Army 😊, fielded as “Vanilla Marines”)
