Description
As always, this was a photo-manipulation that was pieced together either using pieces from Imperial Armour and the Black Books (or both) from Black Library and photoshopped together.

Up and coming Iron Hands successor chapter of the Adeptus Astartes hailing from an unknown (though implicated to be Second Founding), the Sons of Orcus. Here is a battleline/tactical marine of the fourth squad from the first War Clan's second company; hailing from the chapter of the Sons of Orcus. Find below a short introduction to the Index Astartes entry of the chapter that I am still working on:

To meaningfully understand the history of the Sons of Orcus is to know where fact and myth interplay, Imperial Archives are in this way unhelpful in demarcating a clear boundary. Within what is catalogued lie contradictory (and often unattested to) sources – both primary and secondary – that pertain to the original Charter of Founding that range from between the Second Founding enacted by Roboute Guilliman and the later Tenth Founding some three millennia later. What extant first hand accounts and dialogue that the Sons of Orcus have themselves offered to Imperial authorities has similarly done little to clear the haze and obfuscation that surrounds the chapter. Inquisitorial Ordos have also had much of the information on the early history of the Sons of Orcus stricken from their archives or otherwise classified and now out of reach of most historitors, within what remain available lie no formal mention of the Sons of Orcus existence until the 12th Black Crusade in 001.M39 and once more in the ongoing Indomitus Crusade launched by returned Primarch Roboute Guilliman from 999.M41 where the chapter is currently embattled on either side of the Cicatrix Maledictum. As such, any prospective historitor that wishes to tease at the fabric of the history of the Chapter must reckon with this disconnect in the records and must approach the topic both with caution and scepticism. However, they are from alone in being ailed in this way; for in this age of deliberate obfuscation and censor: a lost history does not a missing past make. To those most ardent of historitors, the legacy of the present Sons of Orcus can be traced if one delves into the infinitely meandering data-archives of the Adeptus Administratum where within its data-banks are a veritable sea of evidence on the early Sons of Orcus, but only to those who display the necessary acumen and willpower to subject themselves to the labour of weaving that tapestry.
