Fluff:

Many know of the few death worlds that dot the imperium- Kanak or Catachan herself- but one on the western fringe, only mustering 3000 people in population, 1200 of them being warriors, Thorin is one of the smallest planets of the Imperium of man. With 2 continent spanning jungles and 1 continent of violent volcanoes, there is no wonder this small nugget of struggle and violence produces such fine warriors.

As it is on Catachan it is on Thorin, everyday is a battle of survival. Many barely make it past birth, then they must fend for themselves most of the time while everyone tries to forge a living in their small existence. Those that live in the jungles must watch for the ever present danger of disease and toxins produced by plants throughout the undergrowth, but also for the lightening quick Juniper vipers that carry enough toxin to kill a marine in hours let alone a man. The lumbering yet vicious Gruel Bears kill anything that is not welcome in its territory (which means anything except it self and it’s kind) their territories cover most of the more inhabitable places in the jungles. The volcanic plateau that makes up Thorin’s 3 continent is where warriors are born. Wracked with ever-changing fissures and magma pipes unloading noxious fumes and molten rock on to the landscape. Each boy or girl that reaches the age of 16 must ritually fight a Fire Dragon- a large (6 meters long) reptile that lives in the volcanoes and magma pipes- with only his wits and a long hafted axe (favored weapons of Thorins). This is the only way to prove your self a warrior, for if you cannot fight a clever beast then how are you going to beat a smart opponent. Once proven the warriors are plunged right into the wars of the Imperium, grouped together out of family and acquaintance rather than the melting pot that other regiments are, they elect their leaders by popular vote and they will follow that man unto the pits of hell.

Captain “Dread” Hawkings is the leader of a group by the name of the “Fire Belchers”, a group of ruffians hailing from this terrible world who pride themselves on how much of their home brew they can drink. Though they are unruly at best they are known for their use of veterans and flamers, plus the ever present plasma guns. These men and women are the best of their kindred and hate orks with a passion, hell their commander is known as “Dread” because he killed a rampaging ork dreadnaught with his lone melta-bomb, when everyone from the cadian crew were too scared to shoot at it. The Captain demands respect from his troops when it is needed but will take part in many a ribbing of rival commanders or the enemy themselves.

Given the chance any of these men or women would kill who ever disrespects their fellows or the home planet. So watch your tongue, or you will lose it

Captain Hawkings and his crew have come to Catrian Prime under order of his Col. John Klarkin, now stationed on Armageddon prime in the equatorial jungles burning orks. He was informed that his detachment’s specialities with special weaponry and noxious liquors would come in handy dealing with the smaller forces already occupying the planet. Though outnumbered, the Fire Belchers will use their hardened killing skills to end the blasphemy that is taking place on Catrian Prime

"Well that was a walk threw hell" hawkings looked at his Hardened veteran Sargent, Clint.

"Never fun goin' against Marines an' Tau on open ground, Grinder" smiling while taking a swig of home brew

"Well what do you suppose we do now? Oh fearless COLONEL!?" Grinder smiled as he mock saluted his fellow death worlder

"Let me see the vox i'm gonna call em' up and ask for some things..." Dread walked over to the high powered vox and blipped in his personal code "OI!!! anyone there?! stupid son of a grox. listen here i need some things. send the Pups down get their ears wet, i need the biggins and i need some birth day presents, yeah 10 pounders sound nice. yeah send me the damned hide we need it down here" putting the vox up dread thought on what to do next. he'd have to be smarter then these bastards and he knew it.
