Emperor's Tears
Space Marine successor chapters. The elite troops of the Order were participating in a campaign when their home planet was attacked. When these troops returned, the planet was nothing but a lifeless wasteland of ash. Since then, only a few Emperor’s Tears remain. These few are now searching for the perpetrator of the attack and are extremely suspicious of everything. A chapter developed by Daniel Struzyina , which was expanded upon in several articles in White Dwarf . The “Four Chapter Masters” series aims to encourage players to create their own Chapters, give them their own color schemes, and provide them with a backstory. The series was published to coincide with the release of the Codex Space Marines, Fourth Edition .

No Records. No Witnesses.
The archive has a slot for Emperor's Tears and nothing to put in it. Somewhere out there the art exists and I have not found it yet, or nobody has made it. Either way, that is fixable.
Two ways to fill it
Artists: make something tagged Emperor's Tears and send it in. New work gets credited, linked and pushed out on the gallery socials.
Everyone else: if you have seen art that fits Emperor's Tears, send me the link. Finding the artist is my job, spotting the art is yours.
One bit of honesty: every piece on this site is hand-picked by me, so sending something in is not an automatic post. Art aimed at an empty tag like Emperor's Tears has a much better shot than most, because these are exactly the gaps I am trying to fill, but it is still a hopeful maybe rather than a guarantee. If a piece does not make it, that is no reflection on you or your work, so please keep them coming.
