There're the Angels of Twilight and the Twilight Lords, as shown below, but no Twilight Kings. Nor Princes.

So, here's a random addition to the lists of homebrewed Astartes.

Twilight Kings

The Twilight Kings are a Space Marine Chapter of unknown provenance, rumoured to be a Chapter created in secret during the second or third Foundings.

The truth is that this Chapter's original core was made up of Night Lords Great Crusade veterans - loyal to the Imperium, Terra, and the Emperor of Mankind - left behind by their Legion to ensure continued Compliance and forgotten before the Heresy truly began. The rest were survivors from the Shattered Legions, lost Dark Angels, and excess troops from the Ultramarines & Imperial Fists.

Given a far-flung system on the edges of the Imperium as their fiefdom, and a protectorate prone to Xenos-induced rebellions and Old Night heresies, their tactics and culture evolved over the millenia as their geneseed did the same, with a little help from Mechanicus biologists.

The Twilight Lords are now akin to knights of noble orders with the capacity for brutality that is only exercised for the most savage and demanding of foes. The mutations in their geneseed leave them with alabaster skin, fully white eyes, and a propensity for clairvoyance, which has led to the Chapter's Prognosticars, a unique combination of Librarian & Chaplain.

However, the geneseed is challenging for aspirants' bodies to accept, and their Chapter's numbers have been dwindling for some millenia.

Bellisarius Cawl's Primaris reinforcements were a miracle for the Chapter, bringing much needed numbers and a legacy to impart.

However, rumours circulate that the Twilight Kings' Primaris geneseed may actually be of Night Lords' stock, despite Lord Guilliman's decree.

The Twilight Lords are on the very edge of Imperium Sanctus, dealing with the Imperium-splitting Warp rift on their very doorstep as well as a Tyranid splinter fleet they've marked as Chimaerae.

Allegiance: The Imperium of Man

Faction: Adeptus Astartes

Heraldry: The Chapter's symbol is a gold crown, with subtle lightning bolts creating its pinions, on a midnight blue background. Companies are indicated on their right pauldrons by half skulls of ivory stamped with their company number occupying the aft halves and Noxean runes for squad designation & number in the bottom forward halves over a midnight blue background.

Colours: Deep purple with dark blue highlights and bleached bone accents.

Iconography: Veterans of the First Company wear suits of bone & ivory. Assault troops bear crimson helmets. Leadership positions are denoted by crimson vambraces/gauntlets and blood drops on helm and/or pauldrons. Banners are crafted from the flayed hides of their enemies and hung from squad & hero backpack poles. Symbols of death, such as bones & skulls, adorn their armour.

Homeworld: The Twilight Lords have a fortress monastery and facilities upon the moon Nyxes, which is one of three moons that orbit the planet Noches, the system's namesake. However, the Chapter's forces are stationed on defense facilities within the massive asteroid rings that surround the system itself.

System: Noches

Protectorate: The Quartraghast Nebula, Upper Eastern Fringe

Motto: Crepusculum in caligine. = In twilight shroud.

Colours (hexcode) :

- #59003e Ford Purple

- #0d407f Citadel Macragge Blue

As you might be able to tell from my pfp and my header image, I'm a massive Dungeons and Dragons fan and when Wizards of The Coast announced OneD&D, the new version of the game, I was intrigued by the different classes being separated into four new class groups.

Experts which have The Artificer, The Bard, The Ranger and The Rogue

Warriors which have The Barbarian, The Fighter and The Monk

Mages which have The Sorcerer, The Warlock and The Wizard

Priests which have The Cleric, The Druid and The Paladin

Having seen these I was reminded of ideas for custom D&D classes I had. I reworked ideas and came out with 11 new classes.

For "The Experts" I came up with The Outlaw and The Warden

For "The Warriors" I came up with The Guardian, The Ninja and The Templar

For "The Mages" I came up with The Acolyte, The Psionic and The Veneficer

For "The Priests" I came up with The Disciple, The Herald and The Pishogue

This is the first one that I've fully written out, The Acolyte. I envisioned them as a "three quarters" caster. Meaning that they have more magic than half casters like The Paladin and The Ranger, such as having cantrips, but less magic than full casters like The Cleric and The Sorcerer as their spells cap off at Level 7 spells.

In the campaign I’m DMing, my party is currently delving through an EXTREMELY magical wilderness—to an extent that it’s on par or worse than the Feywild—that is basically seeped in magical fallout. A wild assortment of magic creatures live in this place, and all of them have adapted to the magic environment over the many years. I call these wilds the Bewilderlands.

I’ve already developed a wild magic system, spells becoming self-aware, violent backfire, and the possibility of gaining/losing spell slots on a long rest. However, I want to expand my encounter table. This is what I have so far:
