Background

Created during the 19th Founding, this chapter is based on the world of Trækonnis Major. They wear navy blue power armour with yellow trim on their shoulder armour and their symbol is a white cross. A white diagonal stripe with a roman numeral in the centre denotes the company.

Notable battles and campaigns

The Avenging Sons' 2nd Company took extremely heavy casualties during the Antillis IV campaign. Outnumbered by a Chaotic force led by a warband of the Black Legion , the detachment was ground down and eventually surrounded. Their defences broken, they fought to the end, detonating their position just at the moment of being completely over-run. The only known survivor was a single member of an attached Scout squad¹.

A strike force of Avenging Sons fought in the war on Taros. Avenging Sons Captain Armaros led a team in order to kill Planetary Governor Aulis but they were surprised by the PDF forces and Tau warriors and failed².

The Aveging Sons Third Company turned renegade whilst fighting in the civil war on Helmabad. Killing their chaplain and those battle brothers who wouldn't follow them, the Third negotiated with the traitors for safe passage to their Thunderhawk in return for leaving the planetary governor undefended. After fleeing the planet which was struck by a Warp Storm the Third Company painted over their Chapter badges and other Imperial symbols and set course for the Eye of Terror.
