History

The Charnel Guard are a reclusive Fleet Based Chapter, that seal themselves away in vast stasis crypts when not on a campaign.[3c] The Chapter is believed to have been created in the Third Founding, due to the large number of ancient war relics of weapons and vehicles that are rarely seen in the 41st Millennium, in the Chapter's possession (including at least three Fellblade super-heavy tanks)[3b] and a formidable fleet of Fire Raptors. They are also believed to be of Blood Angels decent, but they are not acknowledged as such by their Founding Chapter.[3c]
