Editing Cerulean Destroyers (section)

==Tactics and Organization==
The Cerulean Destroyers follow the Codex Astartes, and so are arranged into ten companies. The first company is a dedicated Veteran Company comprised of Terminators, and Sternguard and Vanguard Veterans, while the tenth company consists of scouts. The second through fifth companies serve as tactical battle companies and the sixth through ninth act as auxiliary reserves. Unfortunately, due to losses sustained the majority of the original battle Companies no longer remain intact, leaving the Reserve and Scout Companies to muster their forces. For this reason, these companies are larger than normal as they are the only companies still recruiting, the Scout Company is abnormally large due to the sheer influx of new recruits being hastily processed and armed for active service. The relaxed employment of the Codex Astartes, rather than rigid adherence displayed by their parent chapter, has endeared the Cerulean Destroyers to other chapters who similarly disavow the codex such as successors of the Dark Angels and Iron Hands. Despite this, relations between the Cerulean Destroyers and the other chapters present in the Encarmine Sector are strained due to the Destroyers’ belief that these allies are in fact intruders and braggarts who seek to undermine their charges from their safekeeping. Additionally, the Ultramarines hold their Cerulean successors in poor content for their bastardization of the Codex and for the flawed zygotes present in their gene-seed. Cerulean Destroyers do not possess functioning melanchromic organs.

The Cerulean Destroyers despise the Eldar above all of the other Imperium’s foes, viewing them as harbingers of shame and a constant source of reminder of their past failings. As such, while the Cerulean Destroyers adhere to the doctrines of their parent Ultramarines in the form of the Codex Astartes, their chapter armories have been specifically resupplied with the intention of optimizing the chapter for combat against the torturous Eldar raiders. Armored transport vehicles such as Rhinos, Razorbacks, and Land Raiders are used to protect the chapter’s few remaining squads, for the Dark Eldar have little in the ways of anti-tank weaponry with regard to their foot soldiers. These tanks are generally outfitted with weapons capable of disabling rapid Eldar transports, leaving the xenos heathens at a static disadvantage while the Destroyers employ their superior strength at close combat.

The Cerulean Destroyers specialize in armored assaults, and so their chapter comprises a large number of Razorbacks, Whirlwinds, Predators, Vindicators, and Land Raiders. The Land Raider Prometheus, developed by Ultramarine Captain Cato Sicarius in the Ultramarines’ own battles against the Dark Eldar, are much more common than the more standard Land Raider STCs within the ranks of the Cerulean Destroyers. In addition, a new experimental pattern of Land Raider designated the Land Raider Tarantulus is currently being designed by the chapter’s Techmarines aboard the chapter fleet. The Tarantulus, optimized for targeting fast-moving Eldar flyers, featured a hull-mounted Skyspear missile launcher and two sponson-mounted Icarus storm cannons. With these weapons, the tank acts as a mobile anti-aircraft emplacement.
