Wow! It's been just over a month since I last added anything to my blog! Unfortunately July has been rather busy for me, so this month for RYR on Ammobunker, my entry is just a simple Space Marine I kitbashed together (photos coming soon). However, in order to explain my upcoming character, I did have to write up some background material for the Grime Lights project.
Ordo Nemuritorus
History
After his ascension to the
rank of lord in the year 882.M41, following the successful prosecution of the
mad Inquisitor Carmine for his brutal ‘scorched earth’ philosophy that saw over
twenty-four Imperial worlds put to death by exterminatus, one of
Lord-Inquisitor Udø Delige’s first actions was to arrange a
large conclave of like-minded inquisitors at the Inquisitorial Parthenon on
Sanctus Lys.
As an inveterate Thorian, Delige had long theorised that
the Emperor of Mankind had not been the only immortal being to have walked amongst
humanity in its long history and that there might still be others out there
within the Imperium today. Using fragments dating back to the Horus Heresy which
referred to human ‘perpetuals’, Delige proposed the creation of a new Ordo, one
whose remit was to uncover other immortals, investigate other potential sources
for increasing the human lifespan and even the possibility of discovering an
individual whose power could match the Emperor to take His place upon the
Golden Throne or act as a vessel for His divine essence.
Whilst some attending the conclave dismissed the idea as nonsense
and others decried Delige’s proposal as dangerously Horusian, there were a few
that supported the creation of such an Ordo, and thus the Ordo Nemuritorus was
born.

The Watchdogs
In 902.M41 following a
disastrous investigation into a deathcult, whose suicide and subsequent
resurrection of its members had become legendary in the sector, had turned out
to be a highly organised and well equipped cult that had been infiltrated by a sorcerer
of Nurgle almost two decades earlier. The resultant loss of so many gifted
agents caused the founding members of the Ordo Nemuritorus to conclude that a
contingency was needed to prevent such a catastrophe from occurring again.
Lacking the political
clout of the major Ordo’s, the founding members could not expect to establish
anything as grand as a chamber militant. Instead, each member proposed a single
candidate from the Inquisition’s list of known Astartes Blackshields, exiles
from their parent chapter.
Thus twelve carefully
chosen errants were selected and underwent rigorous trials to test the purity
and suitability to act as the Ordo’s surgical strike team. Only ten of the
astartes passed the required trials, of the two who failed, nothing is held on
record.
Along with the canine
heraldry worn on one pauldron that represents the Watchdogs, they also display
the crux ansata; the symbol of the Ordo Nemuritorus.
Connection to Grime Lights
Inquisitrix Mejila Osu was the erstwhile acolyte of Inquisitor
Udø
Delige prior to his ascension to the rank of Lord. In the closing years of M41
Osu was approached by an astartes of the Watchdogs, Blan Tơjuh, asking
for her aid. He reporting that within the space of a single solar year (baring
those who died in service earlier) the remaining founding members of the Ordo
Nemuritorus had been assassinated. All except one; Amara
Naiya.
Nothing further had
been heard from her since she left to investigate the truth behind the so
called Heir to the Emperor’s Throne on the world of Pūrvachāti.
