History

The Fulminators are among the Ultima Founding Chapters raised at Guilliman's direct order and are said to have been founded as early as M31 in the last battles of the Scouring. The first aspirants came from the best recruits of the Terran Guard. After the 13th Black Crusade they reinforce the Indomitus Crusade; they fought at Charadon, in the Nachmund Rift War and in the War for Chevreuse.

Notes

Named for the electrical storms on Mars, into which neophytes were sent as a rite of passage. The brothers bear zigzag lightning scars.
