The Trynids wiped out two space marine chapters

[Pendragon38]

I was reading my old 2nd Ed rule book and came across the nids and how they wiped out these two chapters home worlds..... need more info on this.I know the chapters names but are they still active

Scythe's of the emperor.

And the lamenters launched a penitent crusade right into Hive fleet kraken....poor fools.

[Lockark]

Well. I know one of them off the top of my head.

For some reason I think the Lamenters were the other one.

But according to thier page they only took heavy loses, not lost their home world.

Edit:huh. Got sniped. lol But I think you are correct their was another chapter in the same boat as the scythes.

[daboarder]

The lamenters didn't have a home world to lose their fleet based, both them and the scythes are "wiped out" in the sense that the chapters have a company or two left but will cease to exist after this generation.

Probably not since the ultramarines have some of the best and most experienced soldiers when it comes to fighting tyranids simply because they have been in quite a few battles and wars with them. The ultramarines are probably one of the best prepared chapters, if not the best prepared chapter when fighting tyranids.

Very true. It's the Ultramarines that have Tyrannic War Veterans, not to mention they govern the entire Ultramar system so you can only imagine how many Imperial Guard they have to call upon if necessary.

Knights of Eternity- destroyed by Hive Fleet Kraken.

The next entry beside them on Lexicanum's list of Chapters is the knights sanguine, who were destroyed by war- but no mention by who exactly.

[Grailkeeper]

Actually Pendragon, you say you know the names of the two chapters- who were they?

A guy over at the [URL="http://the-scythes.com/"]http://the-scythes.com/[/URL] keeps all the info about that chapter from across editions and ret-con'ng, it's more a lot comprehensive then the lexicanum is on this topic.
