Description
His story as told by his creator:

Messor Bitterhand- From a sparsly populated world hosting a small Alpha Hound supply base, Messor was actually named for the first Chapter Master. His tribe dealt freely and closely with the Hounds as often as they visited the world, and as honored and revered subjects of local legend, it was not uncommon for children to be named after those battle brothers whose names they learned. Messor was granted his tribal name after his first hunt, when elders noticed what austere relish he took in bringing down his prey. During the tribes very next encounter with the Hounds he was chosen as a candidate for recruitment. Living up to his name, Messor found a place among the Devastators, demonstarting great skill with the heavy bolter, though he developed a peculiar fondness for any Astartes grade firearm he could get his hands on. Upon promotion to sergeant he became well known for sewing chaos among the enemy in battle with squads using inferno ammunition against enemy formations. After sixty years of service, he was seconded to the Legio. He still serves most frequently with Devastator squads, but from time to time has led scout sniper teams, to which his keen eyes lend themselves well.

------

I actually overlooked Messor's Surname and gave him a nasty power claw without knowing. You can imagine how delightful it was when I read he went by "Bitterhand". The heavy bolter is supposed to reflect the mercenary nature of the Chapter, both having to adapt to not getting much from the Mechanicum and having the resources to do so. The idea is that this Heavy Bolter, while being more maneuverable, is still too heavy to fire one-handed, so the Power Claw has a magnetic field specifically tailored to the Bolter's inner metal, making it much lighter and stable even while firing full auto. It'll still overheat and has a shorter range due to the shorter barrel, but it's perfect for boarding actions.

This is the penultimate prize for the DIY Chapter competition. Just one more till I'm done. Hope you like it
