'''Sotha''', located in the [[Ultima Segmentum]], was the [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|home world]] of the [[Scythes of the Emperor]] [[Space Marine Chapter]].{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
Although once part of [[Ultramar]], by M41 Sotha was the cardinal world of the [[Sotharan League]] which included many other planets in the local region.{{Fn|6}}<br />

<br />
==The Great Crusade==<br />
Sotha was discovered by the [[Ultramarines|Ultramarines Legion]] in 882.M30{{Fn|5a}} and brought into the [[Ultramar|Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar]].<br />
<br />
In spite of an ideal ecosphere, there were no initial signs of previous human or xenos occupation, but after initial exploration of [[Mount Pharos]] an ancient structure of alien origin was discovered. Access to the entire world was restricted by order of the [[primarch]] [[Roboute Guilliman]], with only a small agricultural colony to support the ongoing archaeological survey mission. The 199th Company of the Ultramarines was established as an '‘Aegida’' (shield-company) and left to garrison the world.{{Fn|5b}}<br />
<br />
The company took on a badge of a scythe to represent the assistance of the local agricultural workers in clearing the vegetation.{{Fn|5c}}<br />
<br />
==The Horus Heresy==<br />
At the height of the Horus Heresy, at Guilliman’s command the renegade warsmith [[Barabas Dantioch]] of the [[Iron Warriors]] had been sent to Sotha to uncover the secrets of the [[Pharos (Device)|Pharos]], and succeeded in opening up instantaneous communication channels with distant [[Macragge]]. The Pharos was found to be an empathic device of ancient xenos construction, and provided a directional beacon for navigation in the absence of the [[Astronomican]]. {{Fn|5d}}<br />
<br />
The planet was designated by [[Sevatar]] as a rendezvous point for the [[Night Lords]] fleet elements after the disastrous conclusion of the [[Thramas Crusade]].{{Fn|4}} It is unclear whether or not he knew of the significance that the planet had attained, before giving this order.<br />
<br />
==The Second Tyrannic War==<br />
In the last decade of [[M41]], reports began to reach Sotha of unrest and rebellion spreading along the [[Eastern Fringe]]. [[Chapter Master]] [[Thorcyra]] sent [[Captain]] [[Cassios]] and the Scythes' Fifth Company to crush any uprising before it could begin before himself heading north into the [[Saphir Cluster]].{{Fn|2}} After a year, garbled communications reached Sotha from the Fifth of a widespread xenos incursion into the galaxy{{Fn|2}} - this turned out to be the [[Tyranids]] of [[Hive Fleet Kraken]].{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
A general recall was issued, summoning every single battle-brother of the [[Chapter]] back to Sotha to aid in the defence of their home world.{{Fn|1}} Secretly, the best and the brightest of the youth of Sotha were evacuated, as it was already suspected that it was too late to halt the alien menace and new recruits would soon be required to replace losses and rebuild the Chapter.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
The invasion began with a single [[Hive Ship]] which appeared at the edge of the system. [[Remas|Sergeant Remas]] led a boarding mission to halt the ship but barely escaped with his life.{{Fn|3}} Soon afterwards, a rain of [[Mycetic Spores]] brought billions of [[Tyranid]] creatures to the surface. They swarmed over the defensive barricades and the [[Scythes of the Emperor]] were decimated. The survivors were evacuated by the Chapter's remaining [[Thunderhawks]], and fled to the [[death world]] of [[Miral]] to rendezvous with the returning [[Thorcyra|Chapter Master Thorcyra]].{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
Sotha was completely consumed by the [[Tyranids]], and every single human serf and Chapter servant was lost.{{Fn|1}} Later, [[Thorcyra]]'s successor [[Thrasius]] described Sotha as having been reduced to '''"mere rubble in space"'''.{{Fn|1}}<br />

<br />
[[File:Illic Nightspear.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Illic Nightspear.]]<br />
'''Illic Nightspear''' is an [[Eldar Ranger]] from [[Craftworld]] [[Alaitoc]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Illic Nightspear has wandered the [[Path of the Outcast]] for thousands of years, seeking unknown regions of the [[Galaxy]]. He is known to different [[Ranger]] bands by many different titles; the Sentinel of the Stars, the Wayforger, the Shield of Alaitoic, and he cares little which name is used. A master of the [[Webway]]'s geography on a level that only the [[Harlequins]] surpass, it is said by the Eldar that he can arrive unheralded upon any planet, stepping through its [[Webway Portal]] with ease. Indeed, some say that he knows too much.{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />
Over the centuries, Illic's knowledge has benefited Alaitoc and its brother Craftworlds greatly, having guided many Eldar warhosts through the paths of the Webway to do battle on faraway worlds and arriving to turn the tide of battle. In addition, his skill and accuracy with a [[Ranger Longrifle]] is unparalleled and many an [[Ork]] [[Warboss]], [[Necron Overlord]], [[Chaos Champion]], and [[Imperial Guard]] [[General]] have met their end at his gaze. However, Illic has walked the Path of the Outcast for so long that it is no longer clear if he can ever leave it. Thus he wanders the galaxy, pursuing some hidden agenda that his acolytes whisper is the only thing staving off the [[Rhana Dandra]]. He has fought against the rise of the [[Necron]]s, sought out lost [[Seerstone]]s, and many say he seeks to transcendent the mortal plane altogether. Despite his mysteries, he has nonetheless attracted a loyal following of [[Eldar Pathfinder]]s.{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />
Initially trailing the Necrons in order to study them, Illic Nightspear would find himself a captive of the infamous [[Necron]] [[Overlord]] [[Zahndrekh]] on the newly conquered [[Tau]] world of [[Cano'var]] alongside the [[White Scars]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Kor'sarro Khan]]. Khan and Nightspear would join forces with the other prisoners in attempting to escape the world, and the two were the only survivors of the bloody battle against [[Obyron]] and his guards.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
Later, Nightspear would aid the Eldar [[Farseer]] [[Starbane]] in his crusade of vengeance against the Necrons, leading an assault upon the [[Tomb World]] of [[Carnac]].{{Fn|1b}}<br />

<div>{{GalaxyPortal}}{{otheruses|USE=planetary classification|OTHERUSE=[[Imperial Guard (Novel Series)|Imperial Guard]] novel by [[Steve Lyons]]|OTHERPAGE=Death World (Novel)}}<br />
A '''&delta;&tau;-class'''{{Fn|2}} or '''death world''' is a planet in which the native flora and fauna has evolved into naturally aggressive and dangerous forms. These eco-systems are finely balanced between continual destruction and lightning-fast reproduction. Death worlds take many forms, ranging from jungle-covered hell-holes with carnivorous plants and animals to barren, volcanic wastelands racked by [[wikipedia:Coronal mass ejection|ion storms]].<br />
<br />
Humans can, and do, live on these worlds, but it is a never-ending struggle. On many death worlds it is as if the entire bio-mass of the planet were consciously motivated against human settlement - concentrating forces against intruders to destroy them.<sup>1</sup> Death worlds with human settlements or colonies can have populations of 1,000 to 15,000,000.{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />
Death worlds are not usually inhabited, and are nearly impossible to colonise but still need to be explored, which means the establishment of outposts and other support facilities. Some planets have rich mineral wealth, animal life, vegetables or gases, so [[Tithe Grade|tithes]] might range from Solutio Tertius to Solutio Prima.{{Fn|2}}<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Welcome to ''Lexicanum''!'''<br />
We hope you will contribute much and well.<br />
You will probably want to read the [[Lexicanum:Help|help pages]].<br />
Again, welcome and have fun! [[User:Inquisitor S.|Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum]] 17:14, 17 December 2012 (CET)<br />
<br />
== Guidelines ==<br />
<br />
Please pay careful attention to the format of other articles, as your [[Oath Seal|first article]] had several errors in it. Also, remember that all articles and uploaded images must be <b>Categorized</b>.--[[User:Proteus77|Proteus77]] 16:35, 28 December 2012 (CET)<br />
<br />
Thank you. Sorry for errors and general style of my article. I'm from Ukraine and my English not very good. I will endeavour in my future work for Lexicanum. There will be less and less mistakes. 20:47, 28 December 2012<br />
<br />
== Sourcing ==<br />
<br />
Could you PLEASE check that your source citations actually link to the appropriate pages? Otherwise you just create a collection of un-linked articles.--[[User:Proteus77|Proteus77]] 07:34, 24 July 2014 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Yes I check all of the sources. Where did I go wrong? I took the information about 'Dataslate: Space Marines Strike Force Ultra (Background Book)' from the epub format - there are such pages as I stated. There is NO printed version of that book. 9:09 GMT+3<br />
<br />
:You created three pages that cited [[Waaagh! Ghazghkull - A Codex: Orks Supplement (7th Edition)]] as a source, but because you did not type the source name correctly, the citation did not link to any page).

The '''Mortifactors''', alternatively spelt as '''Mortificators''' {{Fn|2}}, are a [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]] recruited from the [[Feral World]] [[Posul]], which is shrouded in almost perpetual darkness. The [[population]] of the planet is broken down into tribes, and the mightiest tribe is ideal for recruitment into the Mortifactors. They are a successor [[Chapter]] of the [[Ultramarines]].{{Fn|3}}<br />

== History ==<br />
The Mortifactors were founded by [[Sasebo Tezuka]], who was led to [[Posul]] after consulting the [[Emperor's Tarot]].{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
The Mortifactors closely follow the dictates of the [[Codex Astartes]], but their outward appearance differs sharply from the Codex's dictates. These differences are products of the culture of Posul.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
The [[Basilica Mortis]] is the Mortifactors [[Fortress-Monastery]], a [[star fort]] orbiting Posul. The halls are filled with rows of engraved skulls taken from the bodies of fallen Space Marines and the main chapel is filled with the skulls of foes claimed in the aftermath of victory.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
The Chapter's funerary rites are led by its [[Chaplain]]s, recruited from the priest class of Posul, and many characteristics of the Chapter cult are drawn from their culture.{{Fn|3}} <br />
<br />
The tribal wars of Posul created a population suited to become Space Marines, and since Posul is a night world, Mortifactors are accustomed to fighting in low-light conditions. Even though [[Neophyte]]s are inducted and indoctrinated into ways and traditions of the [[Adeptus Astartes]] and the [[Ultramarines]]' [[Primarch]], they still maintain a significant amount of customs from their original tribes. Some of these traditions include meditating before battle (to reach a death-like trance in an attempt to commune with the Primarch and their ancestors), and drinking the blood and eating the flesh of their enemies after battle (then severing their heads and flensing their skulls). To others of the Imperium, the Mortifactors appear to be on the verge of heresy and are often held with suspicion by the Ultramarines or its Primogenitor Chapters, but they stand as some of the Imperium's most stalwart defenders.{{Fn|3}} <br />
<br />
Recruitment is done by the Chaplains who preach to their Marines that death will unite them with the [[Emperor]]. Mortifactors regularly enter a meditative state of near-death prior to combat in order to find out how the Emperor would like them to fight their next battle. If they should die, they are taken to the Halls of Victors and sit at the feast table of the Ultimate Warrior (a divine being inhabiting the perfect body for fighting prowess), in the afterlife.{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
In 998.[[M41]], on the day of the [[Feast of the Emperor's Ascension]], the entire Chaplaincy of the Mortifactors fell into a seven day trance. When they awoke they prophesied that the [[Third War for Armageddon]] against the [[Ghazghkull|Beast]] would be the 'Last Battle' and all men who would be warriors were called upon to fight. They entrusted their fortress monastery to their underlings and the entire Chapter (all 10 [[Space Marine Company|Companies]]) set off for [[Armageddon]].{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
Upon return from Armageddon, the Mortifactors set about re-establishing those Marines and Companies that were lost defending the world. The next full action performed by the Morifactors was in assisting the [[Ultramarines]] in defending the world of [[Tarsis Ultra]] against a splinter of [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]{{Cite This}}.<br />

===Notable campaigns===<br />
* [[Achilus Crusade]]- The chapter has served in the Jericho Reach on three separate deployments on [[Ravacene]] ash-choked forest in the [[Greyhell Front]]. They have taken several habits from Ravacene, including smearing their faces with the world's volcanic ashes because smearing their bodies with ashes helped them with stealth while deployed on Ravacene; watching the [[Kroot]] tendency to eat the flesh of the fallen they were enraged and took it as an insult to their rites and as such they became adept in fighting Kroot and some joined the [[Deathwatch]]. A squad was lost and eaten by the Kroot of this world, for which the Mortifactors in the Deathwatch plan on taking revenge.{{Fn|3}} <br />

==History==<br />
===The Great Crusade===<br />
====Founding====<br />
Originally founded as the '''XIXth Legion''', the Legion was used by the [[Emperor]] as his hidden hand in its early years during the [[Unification Wars]] on [[Terra]]. The original recruits of the Legion were firstborn sons drawn from tribes of savage yet technologically adept Xeric warriors of the Asiatic Dustfields, which regularly battled with the much larger [[Yndonesic Bloc]].<br />
<br />
In its earliest days, the XIXth Legion was used for infiltration, reconnaissance, and target identification operations. The Legion was covertly used to quickly annihilate any faction which refused to submit to the new [[Imperium]], striking from the shadows without warning. One of the earliest known campaigns by the Legion was the conquest of the central Asiatic region, which was ruled by a tyrant known as [[Kalagann of Ursh]]. They won many battle honors on Terra, and later took part in the expansion of the Imperium into the rest of the [[Sol System]], liberating [[Jupiter]]'s moon of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysithea_(moon) Lysithea] from [[xenos]]. The battle on Lysithea proved costly for the Legion however, and for many years after veterans of the battle wore Jovian runes in its commemoration.{{Fn|30}}<br />
<br />
In the early days of the Great Crusade, the Legion found itself in the shadow of [[Horus]] and his [[Luna Wolves]]. While Horus valued the XIXth greatly, the Legions forces were largely serving as support troops for the Wolves.{{Fn|30}}<br />
<br />
The Legion's Primarch [[Corax]] was not reunited with the Legion for nearly two centuries.{{Fn|30}} first meeting between Corax and the [[Emperor]] is shrouded in mystery, as the two spent a day and a night in private discussion, with no records kept about the conversation's contents.{{Fn|2a}} At dawn the next day though, Corax agreed to take command of the Legion, on the condition that Kiavahr be conquered and brought into the [[Imperial]] fold.{{Fn|2a}}<br />
<br />
The Great Crusade was already a century old by the time Corax took command of his Legion, but quickly imposed his style of war he had learned on Deliverance on his new troops. Stealth, swiftness, and guile were impressed on a Legion already renowned for its reconnaissance and rapid-strike capability. In particular, the old ways of the Xeric tribes were purged. Corax also was disheartened by the way his Legion had been used as a repression, counter-insurgency, and occupation force; not unlike what he had fought against himself. He purged the Legion of its old commanders, such as Lord [[Arkhas Fal]]. Corax also used factories on [[Kiavahr]] to commission several vehicles unique to his forces, most notably the [[Shadowhawk]], a stealth variant of the [[Thunderhawk]] as well as the [[Whispercutter]].{{Fn|30}}<br />
<br />
====Doctrine and Record====<br />
During the [[Great Crusade]] the Raven Guard, based upon the training Corax had learned on Deliverance, became masters of sabotage, assassination and other covert operations. Planets that were thought impossible to take fell quickly as the Raven Guard applied precise military pressure to its vulnerable sectors.{{Fn|2a}} Such was the Legion's reputation that [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] frequently requested their assistance to assure victory, though there was little admiration between the two; unconfirmed reports include the two sides nearly coming to blows on one occasion.{{Fn|2a}}<br />
<br />
Tensions between the two boiled after during the [[Battle of Gate Forty-Two]], where Horus had the Raven Guard launch a bloody frontal assault on enemy defenses that decimated the Legion's numbers despite Corax's warnings that the plan was reckless beforehand. After the battle the Raven Guard was reduced to 80,000 Astartes. Corax removed his forces from Horus' command, bitterly swearing to never serve alongside the Warmaster again.{{Fn|30}}<br />

===The Horus Heresy===<br />
[[Image:Corax-Soulforge-clean.jpg|thumb|right|295px|[[Corax]] leads the Raven Guard against the [[Dark Mechanicus]] during the Horus Heresy]]<br />
The Raven Guard legion was one of the smallest legions during the [[Great Crusade]], numbering 80,000 Astartes as well as an [[Imperial Army]] [[Regiment]] known as the [[Therion Cohort]] attached to the legion's expeditionary force.{{Fn|12}} As a legion they were a fierce enemy for anyone who opposed the [[Imperium of Man]], using time honoured tactics of guerilla warfare which Corax himself had learnt during the Revolution he himself had commanded to free his people from the merciless slavery forced upon them by the Tech Guilds of [[Kiavahr]].{{Fn|12}} Extremely efficient and trained, the Raven Guard would engage in acts of mass sabotage along with infiltration, blink-of-an-eye Strikes, and expert covert operations, all of which they had perfected into what would look like ease to any other warrior.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
The [[Raven Guard]] were one of seven legions to be sent to the Istvaan system (Others present were the [[Iron Hands]], [[Salamanders]], [[Alpha Legion]], [[Iron Warriors]], [[Night Lords]] and [[Word Bearers]]) to quell a rebellion lead by the former [[Warmaster]], [[Horus]] - [[Primarch]] of the [[Sons of Horus]] Legion (Formerly the [[Luna Wolves]]).{{Fn|12}} Horus and his other three traitor primarchs ([[Fulgrim]], [[Angron]] and [[Mortarion]]) had entrenched themselves on the planet of [[Istvaan V]], and lay in wait for the Loyalist forces to land and engage.{{Fn|12}} The fighting once joined was fierce and hot-blooded, brother versus brother, and no quarter was given on either side.{{Fn|12}} Mid way into the fighting, Horus and his allies retreated back into their fortifications for no reason that could be grasped by the loyalist factions.{{Fn|12}} The Raven Guard were in the thick of the fighting from the start, though out of their element due to the lack of tactical planning and the close-up-and-personal combat spreading like wildfire across the plains of Istvaan V. They fought both with as much honour and as much skill as any other legion would in the circumstances.{{Fn|12}} When the traitors made a surprise withdrawal back to their fortifications, the Raven Guard used this cease in the fighting to regroup and re-arm.{{Fn|12}} However, when they neared the "loyalist" defences (which were tenfold reinforced by the expert siege engineers of the Iron Warriors legion under their [[Primarch]] [[Perturabo]]'s direction, they were fired upon by the very guns meant to protect them. Hundreds were gunned down in the first few minutes of the betrayal, before they even realised that there were traitors in there midst.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
Four of the seven loyalist [[legions]] sent to Istvaan V had thrown off the colours and pretences of the [[Imperium]], and set about playing out a totally new preformance (hatched from long before Istvaan).{{Fn|12}} The [[Iron Warriors]], [[Night Lords]], [[Alpha Legion]], and [[Word Bearers]] turned on their brethren in a bloody thunderstorm of [[bolter]]s and blades, decimating their numbers in a multitude of seemingly never ending skirmishes and drudging battles for ground that cost lives for every metre gained or lost.{{Fn|12}} [[Corax]] and his legion were reduced from their mighty 80,000 warriors to a meagre 3,000 battle hardened veterans.{{Fn|12}} Himself by now a brooding vengeful demigod, weilding a whip{{Fn|12}} in place of his normal customary left set of talons which were lost in a rage fueled duel with the traitorous primarch [[Lorgar]], which would have ended in [[Lorgar]]'s death had [[Konrad Curze]], [[Primarch]] of the [[Night Lords]] (also known as the [[Night Haunter]]) Not intervened and shattered it with a swipe of his own claws.{{Fn|12}} Respite came in the form of a single [[battle barge]] The "[[Avenger]]"{{Fn|12}}, captained by [[Space Marine Commander|Commander]] [[Branne Nev]], a captain originally stationed on Deliverance as a garrison commander, with him came the battered remains of the [[Therion Cohort]] normally serving with the legion under [[Praefactor Valerius]] who ironically brought [[Isstvan V]] into compliance with Corax the first time. {{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
Upon escaping the tailing forces of [[World Eater]]'s picket ships, "[[Avenger]]"{{Fn|12}} broke real-space into the warp, and headed for Terra.{{Fn|12}} Upon arriving Corax headed for the Imperial Palace, which was being fortified by Rogal Dorn and his Imperial Fists in preperation for the coming Siege (Siege of Terra), upon which after much argument with Dorn and Malcador the Imperial Regent, The Emperor himself boomed in a psychic voice for the arguing to cease and pulled Corax into a vision of extreme light, and showed him the secrets he had been asking for - The gene forging tech used to create the Primarch's by the Emperor himself.{{Fn|12}} After navigating the treacherous and dangerous contraption which was the ever shape-shifting maze on Luna, by using his advanced logic, and the skill of his sons to out-think its logic engine and freeze it in place, he retrieved the gene tech and returned to Deliverance under the watchful eye of the Adeptus Custodes (who were charged by Malcador to keep an eye on its safety).{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
At first the Astartes created by the gene tech were a marvel, a splice of primarch and Astartes, but not in an imbalanced degree so as to cause malfunction, a perfect meld.{{Fn|12}} These new warriors were faster, stronger, and more intelligent than any of the older warriors of the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]], and within a few weeks more aspirants had been successfully implanted with stable [[gene-seed]] than ever before (the new gene seed also meant that warriors matured into their new forms rapidly compared to standard Astartes).{{Fn|12}} The new warriors would be placed under the command of Captain Branne Nev under the moniker "[[Raptors]]", and would be used against a [[Word Bearer]] fortress as their first deployment, which would see them successfully slaughter veteran [[Word Bearer]]s with the ease of much older warriors. Raptors would take injuries that would have killed even an Astartes, and still remain fighting due to their enhanced bodies.{{Fn|12}} Word of this reached the ears of [[Omegon]], twin [[primarch]] of the Alpha Legion, whom had been laying dormant on [[Kiavahr]] below stirring up a rebellion amongst the tech guilds, and he sprung into action.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
The rebellion and even the Alpha Legionnaires supporting it were a distraction, while the Raven Guard were caught off guard, Omegon and several Alpha Legion operatives managed to covertly spike the gene tech with a daemon blood poison (while managing to keep the pure technology for themselves) using the Raven Guard [[gene-seed]] to produce deformed monsters.{{Fn|12}} The battle finally began as the first Raven Guard recruits to receive the secretly spiked gene seed were implanted, and by the time it raged into the gene labs of [[Ravendelve]], only to be met by deformed warriors created by the spiked gene seed's effects.{{Fn|12}} While deformed, these astartes still fought with otherworldly strength, overpowering even the Alpha Legion Astartes.{{Fn|12}} By the time the battle was over, Agents had been found amidst the legion, explaining how news reached the traitors about the gene tech, and thus the loss of such a boon to the crippled legion, gene screening was to be implemented to find and destroy the agents with the stolen faces of Raven Guard Legionnaires.{{Fn|12}}<br />
Corax nevertheless led the Raven Guard in full strength (~4000 Astartes) and his allies (over 500,000 [[Therion Cohort]], 100-150 [[Imperial Fists]], ~20 Custodes against [[The Perfect Fortress]], an Emperors Children stronghold{{Fn|12e}}. Planned to be conducted with his legion rebuild to be at least 10.000 Astartes strong, the Fortress was taken by luring the Traitor forces out with an failed assault by the Therion Cohort{{Fn|12e}}. While Raven Guard losses were small, the Traitor force was totally destroyed{{Fn|12e}}. [[The Perfect Fortress]] was on a important strategic planet for the whole sector, but Corax withdrew his legion to strike the next Traitor force, leaving the garrison to the [[Therion Cohort]], and the expected Imperial Army and Titan Legion Reinforcements{{Fn|12e}}.<br />
<br />
Without the gene tech the Raven Guard Legion remained a small legion, though their continued work with small cells of warriors allowed them to remain no less of a fighting force, though fewer in number then before{{Fn|12}}. Tales of the Space Wolves report the use of Astartes more beasts than man{{Fn|2}}. The Space Wolves never reported this to any imperial authorities, most likely because they shared a sympathy with the Raven Guard because of their own similar flaw{{Fn|2}}.<br />
<br />
When Roboute Guilliman announced his "[[Codex Astartes]]" which would split the legions into organised chapters, Corax was circumstantially forced to adapt to the new rules, Abliet still retaining his legions overall structure, but in smaller [[chapter]]s of 1,000 Astartes, As is how the [[Raven Guard]] chapter is to this day.{{Fn|12}}<br />

* Space Skirmishes in the Istvaan-System {{Fn|12a}}<br />

<br />
===Horus Heresy Aftermath===<br />
<br />
The Raven Guard chapter birthed in the [[Second Founding]] from the Raven Guard legion remained a successful fighting force, even with diminished numbers (1,000 Astartes from the 3,000 survivors of the [[Drop Site Massacre]]).{{Fn|4a}} The hunt for [[Kernax Voldorius]] alongside the [[White Scars]]{{Fn|11b}}, 4th Company's deployment of several Raven Guard warriors to aid the Ultramarines in their capture of Adaric Vaanes, and the defence of Ultramar{{Fn|9}}, and many other campaigns have been successfully won by these masters of shadow.<br />

<br />
==Homeworld==<br />
The Raven Guard homeworld is [[Deliverance]], a moon which their Fortress Monastery "[[Raven Spire]]" is built on.{{Fn|12}} Deliverance was once known as Lycaeus, where 10,000 years previous to current events, Corvus Corax (soon to be [[Primarch]] of the Raven Guard Legion) lead a revolution to free his fellow slaves, and eventually the whole moon from the Slavery enforced on them by the Tech Guilds of the planet below, [[Kiavahr]].{{Fn|12}} Kiavahr was converted into a forge world by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] upon the [[Emperor]]'s arrival, due to [[Corax]]'s wishes that the Tech Guilds no longer held sway, this meant that the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] also recieved a vital supply line for materials.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
==Gene-seed==<br />
The degeneration of the Raven Guard [[gene-seed]] means several of the unique organs of the Space Marines no longer work properly or no longer grow. Raven Guard do not have the [[Mucranoid]] or [[Betcher's Gland]]. The [[Melanchromic Organ]] has a unique mutation that causes the skin of the Space Marine to grow paler.{{Fn|3}} Eventually each Marine's skin becomes pure white while their hair and eyes darken, becoming black as coal.<br />
The main issues could have come from [[Corax]]'s experimentation with the Raven Guard Gene-Seed to try and create stronger and faster-maturing astartes (although the [[Alpha Legion]] is primarily to blame for causing his project's failure), it is never fully stated what is the actual cause.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
==Shadowmasters==<br />
The Shadowmasters or [[Mor Deythan]] were a unit of Raven Guard during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. They were ordinary battle-brothers who had [[Corax|their primarch]]'s ability to '''Shadow-walk'''. It was a quirk of the gene-seed in a few [[Deliverance|Deliverancian]] born Raven Guard that had more than just the standard gene code. One unique trait about the Shadowmasters is that they were completely unknown to their own legion. The marines were selected for testing "Thermal Technology" which was considered "highly temperamental. Corax and select apothecaries are the only marines in the legion that knew of the group at the time of the [[Horus Heresy]]. The Mor Deythan acted as an elite stealth team and saboteurs and communicated through '''Stalk-Argot''' while working in concert with the rest of the legion. The Shadowmasters performed flanking maneuvers and sabotaged columns of rogue [[Skitarii]] on [[Constinax]]. {{Fn|20}}<br />
<br />
==Culture and combat doctrine==<br />
[[Image:M1860546 RavenguardOpener.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Raven Guard]]The Raven Guard are known for hitting weak points in enemy defences hard and they perform lightning strikes upon locations of tactical importance to cripple their enemy. The Raven Guard disdain the notion of recklessly charging into enemy ranks. This differentiates their tactics from those of the [[Blood Angels]]. The Raven Guard rely heavily on their [[Scouts]] for pinpointing enemy positions and to scout for good drop sites. Because of their hit and run tactics they also make extensive use of [[Assault Squad]]s. The [[Tactical Squad]]s of the Raven Guard are often deployed via [[Thunderhawk]]s or [[Drop Pod]]s. The favorite weapons of the Raven Guard [[Space Marine Commander|Commander]]s are the [[Lightning Claw]]s and it is a common sight that their command squads also come equipped with these weapons in addition to their [[Jump Pack]]s.<br />
Raven Guard Captains are fiercely independent, and it's incredibly rare for the chapter to fight as a whole.<br />
Individual companies are completely autonomous and are quick to lend their aid to Imperial commanders across the galaxy, with or without the sanction of their Chapter Master.<br />
Such behaviour has led to some to question the Raven Guard's soundness, but most recognise that such fluidity of command proves the presence of formidable discipline, not its absence.{{Fn|4a}}<br />
<br />
Due to their specialised combat style, the Raven Guard makes less use of heavier vehicles and tanks (such as the [[Land Raider]] and [[Predator]]) than most chapters.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
The right shoulder guard trim denotes the type of Space Marine. Green is for tactical squads, red is for assault squads and yellow is for devastators. The left kneepad displays the company number{{Fn|5}}<br />
<br />
===Traditions===<br />
<br />
====Corvia====<br />
<br />
All Raven Guard during their initiation or as a form of meditation or spirit quest hunt the tiny ravens native to the forests of [[Kiavahr]]. It takes months of training and practice for recruits to sneak up on the small and alert birds, grab them in their bare hands and snap their necks. The skulls of these birds are worn as small totems hanging from a marine's belt on small chains. These totems are known as Corvia and represent a warrior's honor. If a battle-brother falls, one of his surviving comrades will recover his Corvia and carry it, and thus the fallen warrior's honor, into battle until he can return to Kiavahr and bury the small skulls in the soil of the Chapter's homeworld. {{Fn|27}}<br />
<br />
====Treatment of the Dead====<br />
<br />
Upon death, where practical, the body of the Raven Guard will be stripped of it's equipment and trappings (including the Corvia), harvested of it's [[gene-seed]] and left for the local carrion birds to feed upon {{Fn|21b}}<br />
<br />
===="Wraith-Slipping"====<br />
<br />
Described as being a combination of mental discipline and martial art, the process of "wraith-slipping" is to take advantage of one's surroundings to conceal one's presence. This is not a psychic power but rather a collection of disciplines and techniques that the Raven Guard use to conceal their visual and aural presence despite their use of power armour. It is a technique that is described both prior to the outbreak of civil war in the Horus Heresy{{Fn|28a}} and up to the 41st Millennium{{Fn|24a}}. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Organisation==<br />
During the Great Crusade the Raven Guard Legion followed the basic organizational doctrine. The Legion was divided into chapters, chapters were divided into battalions, battalions into companies, and companies into squads. However companies were preferred for most independent operations. Legion officers devolved command responsibility to sub-commanders, allowing them to make tactical decisions and to seek the initiative without interfering with the command chain. The influence of Terran recruits from the Xeric tribes was the cause of this.{{Fn|30}}<br />
<br />
After the Dropsite Massacre Corax was left with a tattered Legion and had to reorganize them. They were combined into divisions based on combat specializations. The tactical companies became the Talons, the assault companies became the Falcons, and light vehicle squadrons and air support were renamed the Hawks.{{Fn|30}}<br />
<br />
The Raven Guard are a [[Codex Chapter]] who generally adhere to the [[Codex Astartes]] in their Organisation.{{Fn|7}}<br />

===Company Disposition===<br />
Like all Codex chapters, the Raven Guard are divided into ten Companies. Each Company is led by a hero of the Raven Guard who bears the title [[Shadow Captain]]{{Fn|6}} and who - in addition to his Company command - is in charge of a particular aspect of the Chapter's logistics. The current Company commanders are as follows:<br />

==Recruitment==<br />
[[Image:assalt.jpg|thumb|right|Raven Guard Veteran assault marine]]<br />
Owing to the instability of the Raven Guard gene-seed and the experiments of Corax, much of the chapter's genetic stock has been irreparably damaged. Now, much of their genetic material comes from supplies held on [[Terra]]. This means the cycle of recruitment for the Raven Guard is much slower than other Chapters and fewer Raven Guard candidates for the Chapter prove able to survive their training and genetic modification. This means the chapter is constantly short-handed.<br />
<br />
The Raven Guard's chapter planet [[Deliverance]] is said to lack the population resources available on other chapter's homeworlds. By the time of the Horus Heresy only a few thousand marines in the Raven Guard's number were recruited from Deliverance, the rest made up of the original [[Terra|Terran]] forces inducted before the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
<br />
==Equipment==<br />

<br />
*See - ''[[Space Marine Armoury]]'' for generic Space Marine weapons, vehicles and equipment<br />
*See - ''[[Raven Guard Armoury]]'' for Raven Guard-specific items<br />
<br />
===Armour===<br />
The Chapter makes wide use of the "beaked" and older marks of [[Power Armour]] (Mk. IV-VI). After their near-destruction at Isstvan V, the Raven Guard techmarines created ad hoc suits using salvaged parts and components from other suits or vehicles.{{Fn|12g}} When battle barge Avenger returned to Deliverance, Raven Guard received shipment of 2 000 suits of Mk. VI [[Power Armour]]. {{Fn|12h}} At that time, the Mark VI, designed as Corvus suit, was the newest and most advanced version. Because this mark of [[Power Armour]] carries name of [[primarch]] [[Corax]] it is natural that the Raven Guard feel bond to this mark of armour.<br />
The Raven Guard's chapter planet and base of operations has the production capacity of a small forge world, ensuring that the Raven Guard rarely lacks for the material to prosecute its campaigns.{{Fn|4b}}<br />
Raven Guard's [[Power Armour]] utilises enhanced cooling systems that which helps to blend in better with the background. By this means Raven Guard's warriors are hard to be detected by thermal or infrared devices.{{Fn|11a}}<br />
<br />
===Fleet===<br />
During the [[Horus Heresy]], the Raven Guard's fleet was equipped with special stealth technology: a ship's [[void shield]]s could be modified so that they provided only minimal protection, but at the benefit of making the vessel nearly undetectable either visually or by sensors. It took only a few minutes for this adjustment to be made.{{Fn|12a}}<br />

==Trivia==<br />
While stated in the background that all ''Raven Guard'' have black hair, there is at least one instance where [[Games Workshop]] showed a miniature [http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1860548_Raven_guard_AssaultMarines.jpg with a different hair colour] (accessed 2011/09/08). If this is a mistake or deliberate is unknown.<br />

==Background==<br />
First amongst the Primogenitors, the Genesis Chapter are dogmatically loyal to the memory of [[Roboute Guilliman]], and can be counted upon to fight at the Ultramarines' side without hesitation.{{Fn|1a}} They have the honor of being the first of the primogenitors and were formed from the noblest Ultramarines veterans who survived the Horus Heresy. Upon their inception, their first battle wrested the planet [[Newfound]] from the [[Word Bearers]].{{Fn|5}}<br />
<br />
The Genesis Chapter is one of the closest chapters doctrinally and astrographically to the Ultramarines, often undertaking joint operations. The Genesis Chapter Space Marines also routinely fill the gaps in the Ultramarine companies if they fall below [[Codex Astartes|Codex]] strength, or fill specialist positions such as the [[Librarius]] or [[Armoury|Forge]] staff. Its Space Marines commonly undertake at least one pilgrimage to the [[Shrine of the Primarch]].{{Fn|3}} The Genesis Chapter [[Chaplain]] regard the [[Codex Astartes]] as sacrosanct, going to great lengths to ensure that the Chapter adheres to its tenets, and any point of contention is debated thoroughly with recourse to the opinions of the Ultramarines' [[Chaplain]]s for final ratification in order to ensure there is no doctrinal drift between the Ultramarines and the Genesis chapter.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
==Notable Battles==<br />
*'''997.[[M41]]''' - A series of [[Exterminatus]] missions are carried out by Space Marines of the [[Death Strike]] and Genesis Chapters on worlds in the [[Ulik Sector]] not yet consumed by [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]] to prevent it from gaining precious bio-resources.{{Fn|2}}<br />
*'''998.[[M41]]''' - A combined force of the Genesis Chapter and [[Ultramarines]] engage the growing might of [[Waaagh! Irontoof]].{{Fn|1c}}<br />
<br />
===Undated===<br />
*Sometime before the [[13th Black Crusade]] a Genesis cruiser ''Daidem Mantle'' under command of a [[Captain]] Aeneas attacked the [[Night Lords]] vessel ''[[Echo of Damnation]]'' under the command of [[Talos (Character)|Talos]] in the orbit of [[Tsagualsa]]. The Genesis chapter assaulted the Night Lords vessel using [[drop pod]]s and sought to neutralize the ship's bridge. They were ultimately unsuccessful and were destroyed in a cunning move by Talos which half destroyed a moon and the Genesis cruiser. {{Fn|4a}} <br />
*[[Achilus Crusade]] - A strike force was dispatched to the Quarantined world of [[Argoth]] on the [[Canis Salient]], as a request from Lord [[Ebongrave]] for a undisclosed mission, supposedly to fight [[Tau]] emissaries. [[Watch-Station]] [[Hestus]] intercepted a request for aid from this strike force, but Lord Commander Ebongrave has overruled the deployment of any Imperial forces to the area. The Deathwatch dispatches a secret mission to find the status of this force.{{Fn|3}}<br />
*[[Fourteenth Siege of Antigonis]] - A captain of the Genesis Chapter was deliberately provoked into single combat by a captain of the [[Minotaurs]]. Only a fresh wave of [[Ork]]s arriving from the [[Octarian Empire]] prevented relations between the two chapters deteriating into bloody conflict.{{Fn|6}}<br />

The '''Salamanders''' were the '''XVIII Legion''' of the [[Space Marines|Space Marine]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] created by the [[Emperor of Mankind]]. Their [[Primarch]] was [[Vulkan]]. The legion remained loyal during the [[Horus Heresy]], but were severely mauled in the first great opening battle, limiting the role they could play in the remainder of the war. Their primarch is never recorded as perishing, and in fact is believed simply to be missing; the search for him and his presumed great purpose is a defining trait of the Salamanders. Other aspects of the legion of Vulkan are their great hardiness as warriors and their equally strong constitutions, willpower and devotion to [[humanity]]. In some ways, they can be considered the ideal of what it means to be a Space Marine.<br />

<br />
==Homeworld== <br />
The Salamanders hail from the harsh and hot [[Nocturne]], though are also based upon that world's moon, [[Prometheus]]. The moon occupies an erratic orbit, thus causing great seasons of severe tectonic activity and weather disruption on Nocturne. The worst of these is known as the Time of Trial, when, once every fifteen Terran years, the moon passes so close that thousands of volcanoes erupt, their ash so thick it blots out the sun. With the ground gripped by constant earthquakes at the same time as this ash winter, much of Nocturne becomes effectively uninhabitable. {{Fn|1a}} <br />
<br />
Rewards for enduring the Time of Trial can be great; the tectonic upheavals bring materials and ores to the surface of great value, and the aftermaths of such altered geography usually reveal new pockets of natural resources to be explored, mined or siphoned. This translates to vast wealth by [[Imperial]] standards, meaning that Nocturne's supplies of livestock and the whatever items the forges of the Salamanders themselves cannot construct can be traded for with the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] or other Imperial corporate bodies.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
The Salamanders' fortress-monastery is located upon the giant moon, Prometheus, acting as the orbital dock for their space vessels. While it is permanently staffed, much of the Salamanders not on deployment can be found scattered over Nocturne, acting as the elders of the settlements from which they came; the Salamanders maintain close contact with their origins and see watching over their homeworld's citizens - and by extension, all people of the Imperium - as part of their duty.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Formation===<br />
Originally known as the '''XVIIIth Legion''', the origins of what would become the Salamanders are largely shrouded in mystery. In order to protect the nascent [[Legiones Astartes]] from both hostile action and espionage, the origins and deployments of several early Legion [[gene-seed]]s are further classified beyond usual protocol. These Legion groups were formed and established largely in separation from the rest, and it is generally thought to a very specific end. The XVIIIth Legion, along with the [[Space Wolves|VIth Legion]] and [[Alpha Legion|XXth Legion]], comprised this group of proto-legions. That this 'trefoil' of three proto-Legions was somehow veiled from the rest during their creation and establishment was something known only to a few. Deliberate effort was made to distance these three legions from the others. There are none save the [[Emperor]] and a handful of his aids who know what the exact purpose behind this policy was.{{Fn|22}}<br />
<br />
The Legion's first recorded significant action was during the [[Assault on the Tempest Galleries]] during the [[Unification Wars]]. Achieving victory against impossible odds, though the Legion's active strength was reduced from 26,000 to around 1,000. Nonetheless they achieved a place of glory in the Imperial military establishment, and this helped the Legion rapidly rebuild with new waves of recruits and wargear. But the losses from the Tempest Galleries battle still lingered, and as a result the Legion was often deployed piecemeal, with many Legionaries of the XVIIIth spread throughout numerous warzones. In particular, they were used to deal with sudden threats that may appear to the rear, such as [[Space Hulk]]s or [[Xenos]] pirates. Seldom did the XVIIIth fight on a battlefield of its own choosing, but they nonetheless received extensive battle honors. Meanwhile, it is believed that the Legion's [[Primarch]] [[Vulkan]] did not immediately reunite with his forces upon his rediscovery, instead serving alongside the [[Emperor]] for several years.{{Fn|21a}}<br />
<br />
===The Great Crusade===<br />
[[File:Massacre Salamander.jpg|thumb|left|A Salamanders legionary.{{Fn|21b}}]]<br />
When [[Vulkan]] came to his Legion, it was in the hour of their need. The XVIII, led by their [[Lord Commander]] [[Cassian Vaughn]] had become embroiled in the defence of a cluster of worlds near the [[Taras Division]] against a horde of [[Orks]]. The XVIII was the only Space Marine Legion able to respond to the crisis. Fighting against vast and overwhelming odds, 19,000 Space Marines held out against millions of Ork raiders and their fleet of [[Rok]]s. The actions of the Legion had allowed the evacuations of three entire planetary populations to the nominal safety of the Taras System, but at a terrible cost. Their Primarch, however, learning of their plight refused to stand by and instead joined the fray.{{Fn|21a}}<br />
<br />
When Vulkan arrived he did not do so alone, he brought with him 3,000 new [[initiate]]s and equipment from [[Nocturne]]. The reinforcements brutally fell upon the Orks, spurring the surviving Space Marines to counterattack. Caught between this hammer and anvil of savagery that over-matched their own, the Ork horde was broken and put to flight, and the survivors were relentlessly pursued and consumed by fire. In the aftermath, the two halves of the XVIII Legion met and were unified when Vulkan finally revealed himself to his sons. The survivors of the XVIIIth Legion knelt immediately, but Vulkan bid them rise, saying that all his sons were equals and he was no petty king needing shows of obedience. Instead, it was he who knelt in honour of the lives they had saved and the price they had paid. Then, seeking out the mortally wounded Lord Commander Vaughn, he conferred the formal transfer of the Legion's mastery by presenting the fallen warrior with the broken [[power klaw]] of the slain Ork Warlord.{{Fn|21a}}<br />
<br />
The Salamanders were apparently reorganised by [[Vulkan]] upon his discovery and assumption of command, with that organisation said to still be in effect in their current form, with seven companies to a [[Chapter]], each company being founded by the seven different great settlements of Nocturne and commanded by a [[Captain]] from that settlement. {{Fn|1a}} The number of Chapters in the [[Great Crusade]] era Legion is currently unknown, but they had at least 34 Companies.{{Fn|10}} The Salamanders are often said to have "always been" the smallest legion {{Fn|1a}} but how this claim stacks against the paucity of both [[Emperor's Children]] and [[Thousand Sons]] during their respective histories is not yet known.<br />
<br />
===Horus Heresy===<br />
[[Image:PHSally.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Heresy-Era Salamanders Space Marine]]<br />
The Salamander's role during the [[Horus Heresy]] is not well known to Imperial Scholars; what is for certain is that the legion, along with the [[Iron Hands]] and [[Raven Guard]], was part of the first wave of attackers during the battle of [[Isstvan V]]. After the announcement of Horus's treachery and the destruction of [[Isstvan III]], the Emperor ordered seven Legions of [[Space Marines]] to attack the forces serving his former son and friend. But among those seven Legions, four were already traitors.{{Fn|11a}}<br />
<br />
The initial landing force fell into a trap and, despite their martial skills, the three loyal Legions were forced to begin a tactical withdrawal toward their landing site, which had been fortified by the four traitor legions forming the second wave. At this moment the second wave opened fire on the retreating Marines, crushing them between the hammer of Horus's forces and the anvil of the fortified drop site. Despite a heroic defence, the three loyal Legions were practically destroyed; all but a handful of battle brothers fell on that fateful day.{{Fn|11a}}<br />
<br />
After this sad defeat the Salamanders, as well as the other two betrayed Legions were unable to perform any tasks the Emperor had planned for them and spent much of the rest of the time of the Heresy rebuilding their forces.<br />
<br />
===Horus Heresy Aftermath===<br />
====Reforging====<br />
[[Image:M1860551 Salamanders Opener.jpg|thumb|left|Salamanders]]<br />
Whilst the Salamanders altered their squad-level organisation to follow the strictures of the new [[Codex Astartes]], they were able to retain much else of their Legion organisation - some say because there were too few of them to split into [[successor Chapters]]: The Salamanders are officially reckoned to have no descendants, though several Imperial scholars have pointed out various similarities in unit markings and tactical dogma in the [[Storm Giants]] and [[Black Dragons]] Chapters. It is possible that these Chapters were created at some unknown, later date from stockpiled [[gene-seed]], but whatever the claims, the Salamanders claim kinship with no other Chapter.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
Oft-considered the smallest Legion, the casualties of the Horus Heresy, plus their own highly stringent recruitment and indoctrination processes made not only their rebuilding seemingly glacial, but resulted in them coming in under Codex-approved strength for a single Codex Chapter. In accordance with Vulkan' original reorganisation of the Legion, the Salamanders Chapter is formed of only 7 permanent companies; each one nominally staffed at a little over the Codex-approved 100 [[Astartes]]. Nevertheless, the sons of Vulkan were able to forge themselves anew, and their steel has ever since been drawn in the defence of the [[Imperium of Man]].{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
In the absence of Vulkan, the Captain of the First Company is considered the [[Chapter Master]]. This position is seen as a regency, however, and is occupied in the belief that it will one day be relinquished to the true holder of the position.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
===Recent Events===<br />
[[Image:salamanderswarriors.jpg|thumb|right|Salamanders in action|190px]]<br />
*'''533.[[M39]]''' - The '''[[Fires of Phaistos]]'''. The entire Salamanders chapter mobilizes to defend the [[Cardinal World]] of [[Phaistos Osiris]] from [[Ork]] invasion. Together with an army of trained scholars, the Salamanders set an intricate and subtle series of traps and ambushes to destroy the Ork force, culminating in the Ork assault on the capital city Sanctis's Great Basilica, which was countered by flooding the city with [[promethium]], which was subsequently set alight, destroying the majority of the Ork invasion.{{Fn|6a}}<br />
*'''793.[[M40]]''' - The Salamanders [[Orbulac Raid|aid of Orbulac]]<br />
*'''754-756.[[M41]]''' - The [[Purging of the Ymgarl Moons]]. As the [[Tyranids]] were first encountered, and began to invade the Imperium, the Genestealer species was tentatively linked to the Tyranids, and the Salamanders 2nd Company{{Fn|4b}} were given the duty by the [[High Lords of Terra]] themselves to purge the moons of [[Ymgarl]] of a suspected [[Genestealer]] infestation. After fighting a deadly campaign of attrition for 2 years, the [[Magos Biologis]] declared Ymgarl free of the Xenos taint,{{Fn|6}}<br />
*'''905.[[M41]]''' - The [[Badab War]]. The 2nd Company took part in the Badab War fighting against the [[Astral Claws]]. <br />
*'''???.[[M41]]''' - Following the assassination of the planetary governor of the monsoon world Vaporis, and a subsequent secessionist rebellion, the Salamanders are deployed to assist the bogged down 135th Phalanx in retaking the planet's capital, Aphium. {{Fn|15}} <br />
*'''???.[[M41]]''' - The Salamanders battle an uprising on the [[Mining World]] of [[Stratos]]. However the uprising is a distraction orchestrated by the [[Dragon Warriors]] led by the [[Sorcerer]] [[Nihilan]] in order to steal an artifact known as the '''decyphrex''' from the floating cities of the planet.{{Fn|3}}<br />
*'''941.[[M41]]''' - [[Second War for Armageddon]]. Led by [[Chapter Master]] [[Tu'Shan]], whose tenure as Chapter Master had begun only 3 years previously, the Salamanders fought with distinction. Among other feats, they managed to defend the bridge over the River Stygies from a thousand-strong [[Speed Freeks]] Army and prevented the [[Ork]]s from destroying a water purification plant, thus saving [[Hive]] Tempestora from a slow death by dehydration. Although the hive eventually fell, their efforts allowed it to be evacuated before the Orks could capture the hive. The Salamanders have been involved in many magnificent wars and conquests, but in recent times even these great achievements have been eclipsed by their stalwart fighting during [[Second War for Armageddon|the Second Armageddon War]]. While the [[Blood Angels]] set about destroying the Ork horde, and the [[Ultramarines]] bent their strength to the defence of the surviving hive cities, the Salamanders took upon themselves the essential but neglected task of protecting the supply convoys, fighting rearguard actions against the Ork advances and escorting refugee columns. So unstinting were they in these arduous duties, the Salamanders became renowned amongst the human defenders of Armageddon as sturdy and dependable allies; a reputation not shared by other, more unpredictable, Chapters.{{Cite This}}<br />
*'''943.[[M41]]''' - The [[Tochran Crusade]]. The Salamanders are lured into a trap by [[Trazyn the Infinite]], who seeks the [[Spear of Vulkan]].<br />
*'''975.[[M41]]''' - The [[Defense of Nocturne]].<br />
*'''980.[[M41]]''' - The [[Promethean War]]<br />
*'''988.[[M41]]''' - [[Campaign of Fire and Steel]]{{Fn|29}}<br />
*'''995.[[M41]]''' - The [[Bloodplague Crusade]]<br />
*'''998.[[M41]]''' - The 5th Company carry out search-and-destroy missions against several worlds in the [[Heracles sub-sector]] suspected of being [[Necron]] [[Tomb World]]s.{{Fn|2b}}<br />
*'''999.[[M41]]''' - [[Third War for Armageddon]]. When Ghazghkull launched his new offensive against the Imperial forces on [[Armageddon]], the Salamanders were one of the first Chapters to respond, sending their full seven{{Fn|3}} Companies to combat the Orks, including Chapter Master Tu'Shan personally leading his Firedrakes. In addition to the deployment of 70 Salamanders of the 6th Company, under the command of Sergeant V'reth, to Hive Helsreach in support of the Black Templars{{Fn|13a}}, the Salamanders launched several counter-attacks against the rock-forts landed by the Orks along the Hemlock river. Preferring the close-quarter fighting within the maze of crudely carved tunnels within the [[Rok]]s to the long-range duels in the desert, the Salamanders made the Orks pay a high price for their audacity. By the [[Season of Fire]] at least nine Roks were destroyed by the Salamanders' attacks, slaughtering untold thousands of filthy greenskins.{{Fn|7}}<br />
<br />
Many chapters fought in the name of the Emperor, or for personal glory. Of the fully twenty chapters, only the Salamanders fought for the people of Armageddon. According to rumors, Tu'Shan himself came to blows with Captain [[Vinyar]] of the [[Marines Malevolent]], when the latter shelled a refugee camp the Orks had penetrated.{{Fn|14}} Vinyar is said to have left the civilians to die because he "hadn´t time" to defend them, a notion which greatly angered the Chapter Master.{{Fn|3}} After the Season of Fire, only two Companies were left to protect the major population centers, while the Chapter's [[Techmarines]] have been busy rebuilding the destroyed infrastructure.{{Fn|7}} Tu'Shan also left a squad of Firedrakes with the Blood Angels as an honour guard for the fallen Captain [[Tycho]].{{Fn|7}}<br />
<br />
===='''Undated'''====<br />
* [[Siege of Xaros]] – Nearly hundred days battle between armies of the Salamanders and the [[Imperial Guard]] against the [[Necron]]s of [[Sautekh Dynasty]] at the awakened tomb world of [[Zykorak]]. Eventually the [[Strike Force Ultra]] of Salamanders Chapter managed to destroy the xenos horde and the [[Necron Overlord]], [[Aramakh]] was smashed to pieces.{{Fn|26}}.<br />
<br />
==Gene-seed==<br />
[[Image:SalamanderDW.jpg|thumb|right|A Salamander without his helmet, showing his coal-black skin{{Fn|12}}]]<br />
As far as can be determined by the [[Magos Biologis]] of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Salamander's gene-seed appears to be both stable and as yet uncorrupted. An unusual trait of the Salamanders is that their Battle-Brothers tend to be slower in reflex reaction than other Chapters, though the origin of this factor is debated; it is unknown whether this defect is due to a problem with the gene-seed that manifested as a result of most Salamanders being raised on their high-gravity world, or the psychological result of the Chapter's doctrines and psycho-conditioning against hastiness and impetuosity. However, it has been noted that a Salamanders Space Marine can move just as quickly as any Astartes equipped with [[Power Armour]], and are still significantly faster than those of a normal human.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
Also, as a result of a reaction between their genetics and the high levels of radiation on Nocturne, Salamanders battle brothers have dark or jet black skin and bright, burning eyes. This frightening appearance is entirely superficial, but has intimidated more than one rebellion into submission without firing a shot.{{Fn|2a}}<br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
[[Image:salamanderslib.jpg|thumb|left|160px|Salamanders [[Librarian]]]]<br />
Although the Salamanders follow the [[Codex Astartes]], they nonetheless also follow the doctrines of their own '''Promethean Cult'''. The Promethean Cult places high emphasis on self-reliance, self-sacrifice and loyalty. Symbols of the forge - such as fire and hammers - are prominent throughout Promethean iconography. As such, [[Flamer]]s, [[Melta Weapon|Melta Weapons]] and [[Thunder Hammer|Thunder Hammer]]s are widely used throughout the chapter. As one can imagine, this preference for Flamers and Meltas leads to a strong affinity among the Salamanders for close-range firefight when in combat, although they are just as capable at other aspects of Space Marine battle doctrine.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
Because of their early training as blacksmiths, all Salamanders are fully capable of maintaining and performing moderate repair on their weapons and armour, leaving the Chapter's artificers with the free time necessary to create great works of technology and metallurgy. As a result, the Salamanders Chapter has an unusually high number of Master-Crafted Weapons, [[Artificer Armour]] and even [[Tactical Dreadnought Armour]].{{Fn|1a}} The Chapter also favours the use of Land Raider Redeemers.{{Cite This}} <br />
<br />
In an interesting example of juxtaposition, however, the fluctuating gravity of Nocturne makes training with certain units such as Land Speeders and Bikes difficult, therefore the chapter makes little use of them, in favour of Devastator squads and Terminator Squads. Trained never to give up or retreat, Salamanders are capable of going on when their entire squad is dead, holding positions for months on end. This is one of the more significant effects of Promethean doctrines upon the Chapter's collective psyche. Before each battle the Salamanders get a brand mark each by a Brander-Priest. This symbolizes their respect for the chapter. Only veterans ever get brand marks in their faces.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
===Known Rituals of the Promethean Cult===<br />
<br />
* Upon the start of a new campaign, each Salamander builds his own pyre, separate from his battle-brothers and leaves, returning when the flames are at their apex. In solitude, they anoint their armour and focus upon the key tenants of the Promethean Cult.<br />

==Recruitment==<br />
The Salamanders are noted to stipulate a long and arduous recruitment process for initiates. They start young, at around ages six or seven; for these first years the apprentice is merely that; an worker in the forge of a Space Marine, who will watch over and judge the prospects of the initiates. After some years, the apprentices are judged by the Chapter's [[Apothecaries]] and [[Chaplains]] in a series of examinations. Those successful will be taken for first-stage implantation. At set intervals throughout their training, the initiates must replicate feats performed by Vulkan in his youth, including those he performed in contest with the Emperor; this will culminate in them being required to hunt and slay a [[Salamander (Creature)|salamander]]<br />

===Trivia and Notes===<br />
{{Trivia}}<br />
*The Salamanders were at one stage conceptualised as being black of skin tone; this was commonly interpreted (by the 'Eavy Metal painters as well as the fandom) to mean a natural black skin tone. In Fifth edition however, it was made clear that this meant actual '''black''' skin; as in jet black, coal black etc. Additionally, the Salamanders were also given 'burning' red eyes that actually glow. <br />

The '''Pyran Dragoons''' [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s were founded in [[M34]] as the '''Tyler Grenadiers''' as a counter to [[Chaos]] incursions following the [[Sinto Uprising]] in the [[Justicar sub-sector]]. The regiment was finally deposited on [[Pyran]] as the war swept into the [[Armageddon Sector]]. The regiment broke the main Chaos army and were able to claim [[Right of Conquest]] on Pyran. This is the only recorded incidence of Right of Conquest in the Armageddon Sector, a source of great pride for the people of Pyran.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
Service in the Dragoons is highly determinative of a person's social standing on Pyran, and likewise the regimental hierarchies tend to mirror that of the planet. Officers are drawn almost exclusively from the nobility, although commissions are routinely purchased.<br />
<br />
Competition between regimental officers for honours and prestige is fierce; duels are officially prohibited, but are nonetheless a common recourse for settling disputes between officers. Likewise, assassination frequently occurs, to redress real or imagined slights, or simply to remove a rival.<br />
<br />
In extremely rare cases a common [[guardsman]] with a powerful noble patron may be raised from the ranks to [[Lieutenant (Imperial Guard)|Lieutenant]]. Whilst this is a great boost to the man and the standing of his house, an officer raised in this manner is subject to snubs and cruelty from his new "peers." Likewise, Pyran Guardsmen prefer their officers to be "gentlemen" and may treat their newly-elevated superiors very poorly. It is not entirely unknown for these newly-promoted officers to meet with "accidents" when they lead their men into combat for the first time.<br />
<br />
Pyran officers are often extremely intolerant of other cultures, who have not had the Pyran's schooling in the intricacies of the Pyran honour code. The Pyran regiments as a whole have gained a reputation as arrogant, uncooperative prima donnas.<br />
<br />
The rank and file of the Pyran Dragoons are drawn exclusively from the proletarian houses of Pyran. Discipline is harsh and erratic, dispensed largely at the whim of their officers. However the guardsmen of the Pyran Dragoons are also deeply ingrained with the traditions of the regiment, and maintain a strong sense of the regiments' inherent superiority to all other Guard regiments.<br />
<br />
==Regimental History & Battle Honours==<br />
During the [[Third War for Armageddon]], Regiments of the Pyran Dragoons were stationed at Cerbera Base for training where they soon came into conflict with the savage and uncouth [[Armageddon Ork Hunters]]. The situation erupted when Ork Hunter [[Colonel]] [[Pertinax]], commanding officer of [[Hell Town]], ordered the Dragoons to maintain perimeter positions that the Pyrans viewed as suicidally weak. The subsequent argument between Pertinax and Dragoon Colonel [[Tannley-Drake]] could be clearly heard over the whole fortified camp until, finally, the Pyran challenged his counterpart to a duel. The outcome of the duel is unknown but the Dragoons have always maintained that Tannley-Drake drew first blood, allowing his regiment to withdraw with honour to their base around [[Hive Infernus]]. <br />
<br />
This abandonment lead to a massive Ork assault on Cerbera base which has become widely known as the [[Battle of Hell Town]]. In the aftermath of the battle the Ork Hunters accused the Dragoons of desertion and the two regiments have remained bitter rivals ever since.<br />

The '''Salamanders''' were the '''XVIII Legion''' of the [[Space Marines|Space Marine]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] created by the [[Emperor of Mankind]]. Their [[Primarch]] was [[Vulkan]]. The legion remained loyal during the [[Horus Heresy]], but were severely mauled in the first great opening battle, limiting the role they could play in the remainder of the war. Their primarch is never recorded as perishing, and in fact is believed simply to be missing; the search for him and his presumed great purpose is a defining trait of the Salamanders. Other aspects of the legion of Vulkan are their great hardiness as warriors and their equally strong constitutions, willpower and devotion to [[humanity]]. In some ways, they can be considered the ideal of what it means to be a Space Marine.<br />

==Homeworld== <br />
The Salamanders hail from the harsh and hot [[Nocturne]], though are also based upon that world's moon, [[Prometheus]]. The moon occupies an erratic orbit, thus causing great seasons of severe tectonic activity and weather disruption on Nocturne. The worst of these is known as the Time of Trial, when, once every fifteen Terran years, the moon passes so close that thousands of volcanoes erupt, their ash so thick it blots out the sun. With the ground gripped by constant earthquakes at the same time as this ash winter, much of Nocturne becomes effectively uninhabitable. {{Fn|1a}} <br />
<br />
Rewards for enduring the Time of Trial can be great; the tectonic upheavals bring materials and ores to the surface of great value, and the aftermaths of such altered geography usually reveal new pockets of natural resources to be explored, mined or siphoned. This translates to vast wealth by [[Imperial]] standards, meaning that Nocturne's supplies of livestock and the whatever items the forges of the Salamanders themselves cannot construct can be traded for with the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] or other Imperial corporate bodies.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
The Salamanders' fortress-monastery is located upon the giant moon, Prometheus, acting as the orbital dock for their space vessels. While it is permanently staffed, much of the Salamanders not on deployment can be found scattered over Nocturne, acting as the elders of the settlements from which they came; the Salamanders maintain close contact with their origins and see watching over their homeworld's citizens - and by extension, all people of the Imperium - as part of their duty.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Formation===<br />
Originally known as the '''XVIIIth Legion''', the origins of what would become the Salamanders are largely shrouded in mystery. In order to protect the nascent [[Legiones Astartes]] from both hostile action and espionage, the origins and deployments of several early Legion [[gene-seed]]s are further classified beyond usual protocol. These Legion groups were formed and established largely in separation from the rest, and it is generally thought to a very specific end. The XVIIIth Legion, along with the [[Space Wolves|VIth Legion]] and [[Alpha Legion|XXth Legion]], comprised this group of proto-legions. That this 'trefoil' of three proto-Legions was somehow veiled from the rest during their creation and establishment was something known only to a few. Deliberate effort was made to distance these three legions from the others. There are none save the [[Emperor]] and a handful of his aids who know what the exact purpose behind this policy was.{{Fn|22}}<br />
<br />
The Legion's first recorded significant action was during the [[Assault on the Tempest Galleries]] during the [[Unification Wars]]. Achieving victory against impossible odds, though the Legion's active strength was reduced from 26,000 to around 1,000. Nonetheless they achieved a place of glory in the Imperial military establishment, and this helped the Legion rapidly rebuild with new waves of recruits and wargear. But the losses from the Tempest Galleries battle still lingered, and as a result the Legion was often deployed piecemeal, with many Legionaries of the XVIIIth spread throughout numerous warzones. In particular, they were used to deal with sudden threats that may appear to the rear, such as [[Space Hulk]]s or [[Xenos]] pirates. Seldom did the XVIIIth fight on a battlefield of its own choosing, but they nonetheless received extensive battle honors. Meanwhile, it is believed that the Legion's [[Primarch]] [[Vulkan]] did not immediately reunite with his forces upon his rediscovery, instead serving alongside the [[Emperor]] for several years.{{Fn|21a}}<br />
<br />
===The Great Crusade===<br />
[[File:Massacre Salamander.jpg|thumb|left|A Salamanders legionary.{{Fn|21b}}]]<br />
When [[Vulkan]] came to his Legion, it was in the hour of their need. The XVIII, led by their [[Lord Commander]] [[Cassian Vaughn]] had become embroiled in the defence of a cluster of worlds near the [[Taras Division]] against a horde of [[Orks]]. The XVIII was the only Space Marine Legion able to respond to the crisis. Fighting against vast and overwhelming odds, 19,000 Space Marines held out against millions of Ork raiders and their fleet of [[Rok]]s. The actions of the Legion had allowed the evacuations of three entire planetary populations to the nominal safety of the Taras System, but at a terrible cost. Their Primarch, however, learning of their plight refused to stand by and instead joined the fray.{{Fn|21a}}<br />
<br />
When Vulkan arrived he did not do so alone, he brought with him 3,000 new [[initiate]]s and equipment from [[Nocturne]]. The reinforcements brutally fell upon the Orks, spurring the surviving Space Marines to counterattack. Caught between this hammer and anvil of savagery that over-matched their own, the Ork horde was broken and put to flight, and the survivors were relentlessly pursued and consumed by fire. In the aftermath, the two halves of the XVIII Legion met and were unified when Vulkan finally revealed himself to his sons. The survivors of the XVIIIth Legion knelt immediately, but Vulkan bid them rise, saying that all his sons were equals and he was no petty king needing shows of obedience. Instead, it was he who knelt in honour of the lives they had saved and the price they had paid. Then, seeking out the mortally wounded Lord Commander Vaughn, he conferred the formal transfer of the Legion's mastery by presenting the fallen warrior with the broken [[power klaw]] of the slain Ork Warlord.{{Fn|21a}}<br />
<br />
The Salamanders were apparently reorganised by [[Vulkan]] upon his discovery and assumption of command, with that organisation said to still be in effect in their current form, with seven companies to a [[Chapter]], each company being founded by the seven different great settlements of Nocturne and commanded by a [[Captain]] from that settlement. {{Fn|1a}} The number of Chapters in the [[Great Crusade]] era Legion is currently unknown, but they had at least 34 Companies.{{Fn|10}} The Salamanders are often said to have "always been" the smallest legion {{Fn|1a}} but how this claim stacks against the paucity of both [[Emperor's Children]] and [[Thousand Sons]] during their respective histories is not yet known.<br />
<br />
===Horus Heresy===<br />
[[Image:PHSally.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Heresy-Era Salamanders Space Marine]]<br />
The Salamander's role during the [[Horus Heresy]] is not well known to Imperial Scholars; what is for certain is that the legion, along with the [[Iron Hands]] and [[Raven Guard]], was part of the first wave of attackers during the battle of [[Isstvan V]]. After the announcement of Horus's treachery and the destruction of [[Isstvan III]], the Emperor ordered seven Legions of [[Space Marines]] to attack the forces serving his former son and friend. But among those seven Legions, four were already traitors.{{Fn|11a}}<br />
<br />
The initial landing force fell into a trap and, despite their martial skills, the three loyal Legions were forced to begin a tactical withdrawal toward their landing site, which had been fortified by the four traitor legions forming the second wave. At this moment the second wave opened fire on the retreating Marines, crushing them between the hammer of Horus's forces and the anvil of the fortified drop site. Despite a heroic defence, the three loyal Legions were practically destroyed; all but a handful of battle brothers fell on that fateful day.{{Fn|11a}}<br />
<br />
After this sad defeat the Salamanders, as well as the other two betrayed Legions were unable to perform any tasks the Emperor had planned for them and spent much of the rest of the time of the Heresy rebuilding their forces.<br />
<br />
===Horus Heresy Aftermath===<br />
====Reforging====<br />
[[Image:M1860551 Salamanders Opener.jpg|thumb|left|Salamanders]]<br />
Whilst the Salamanders altered their squad-level organisation to follow the strictures of the new [[Codex Astartes]], they were able to retain much else of their Legion organisation - some say because there were too few of them to split into [[successor Chapters]]: The Salamanders are officially reckoned to have no descendants, though several Imperial scholars have pointed out various similarities in unit markings and tactical dogma in the [[Storm Giants]] and [[Black Dragons]] Chapters. It is possible that these Chapters were created at some unknown, later date from stockpiled [[gene-seed]], but whatever the claims, the Salamanders claim kinship with no other Chapter.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
Oft-considered the smallest Legion, the casualties of the Horus Heresy, plus their own highly stringent recruitment and indoctrination processes made not only their rebuilding seemingly glacial, but resulted in them coming in under Codex-approved strength for a single Codex Chapter. In accordance with Vulkan' original reorganisation of the Legion, the Salamanders Chapter is formed of only 7 permanent companies; each one nominally staffed at a little over the Codex-approved 100 [[Astartes]]. Nevertheless, the sons of Vulkan were able to forge themselves anew, and their steel has ever since been drawn in the defence of the [[Imperium of Man]].{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
In the absence of Vulkan, the Captain of the First Company is considered the [[Chapter Master]]. This position is seen as a regency, however, and is occupied in the belief that it will one day be relinquished to the true holder of the position.{{Fn|1a}}<br />

===Recent Events===<br />
[[Image:salamanderswarriors.jpg|thumb|right|Salamanders in action|190px]]<br />
*'''533.[[M39]]''' - The '''[[Fires of Phaistos]]'''. The entire Salamanders chapter mobilizes to defend the [[Cardinal World]] of [[Phaistos Osiris]] from [[Ork]] invasion. Together with an army of trained scholars, the Salamanders set an intricate and subtle series of traps and ambushes to destroy the Ork force, culminating in the Ork assault on the capital city Sanctis's Great Basilica, which was countered by flooding the city with [[promethium]], which was subsequently set alight, destroying the majority of the Ork invasion.{{Fn|6a}}<br />
*'''793.[[M40]]''' - The Salamanders [[Orbulac Raid|aid of Orbulac]]<br />
*'''754-756.[[M41]]''' - The [[Purging of the Ymgarl Moons]]. As the [[Tyranids]] were first encountered, and began to invade the Imperium, the Genestealer species was tentatively linked to the Tyranids, and the Salamanders 2nd Company{{Fn|4b}} were given the duty by the [[High Lords of Terra]] themselves to purge the moons of [[Ymgarl]] of a suspected [[Genestealer]] infestation. After fighting a deadly campaign of attrition for 2 years, the [[Magos Biologis]] declared Ymgarl free of the Xenos taint,{{Fn|6}}<br />
*'''905.[[M41]]''' - The [[Badab War]]. The 2nd Company took part in the Badab War fighting against the [[Astral Claws]]. <br />
*'''???.[[M41]]''' - Following the assassination of the planetary governor of the monsoon world Vaporis, and a subsequent secessionist rebellion, the Salamanders are deployed to assist the bogged down 135th Phalanx in retaking the planet's capital, Aphium. {{Fn|15}} <br />
*'''???.[[M41]]''' - The Salamanders battle an uprising on the [[Mining World]] of [[Stratos]]. However the uprising is a distraction orchestrated by the [[Dragon Warriors]] led by the [[Sorcerer]] [[Nihilan]] in order to steal an artifact known as the '''decyphrex''' from the floating cities of the planet.{{Fn|3}}<br />
*'''941.[[M41]]''' - [[Second War for Armageddon]]. Led by [[Chapter Master]] [[Tu'Shan]], whose tenure as Chapter Master had begun only 3 years previously, the Salamanders fought with distinction. Among other feats, they managed to defend the bridge over the River Stygies from a thousand-strong [[Speed Freeks]] Army and prevented the [[Ork]]s from destroying a water purification plant, thus saving [[Hive]] Tempestora from a slow death by dehydration. Although the hive eventually fell, their efforts allowed it to be evacuated before the Orks could capture the hive. The Salamanders have been involved in many magnificent wars and conquests, but in recent times even these great achievements have been eclipsed by their stalwart fighting during [[Second War for Armageddon|the Second Armageddon War]]. While the [[Blood Angels]] set about destroying the Ork horde, and the [[Ultramarines]] bent their strength to the defence of the surviving hive cities, the Salamanders took upon themselves the essential but neglected task of protecting the supply convoys, fighting rearguard actions against the Ork advances and escorting refugee columns. So unstinting were they in these arduous duties, the Salamanders became renowned amongst the human defenders of Armageddon as sturdy and dependable allies; a reputation not shared by other, more unpredictable, Chapters.{{Cite This}}<br />
*'''943.[[M41]]''' - The [[Tochran Crusade]]. The Salamanders are lured into a trap by [[Trazyn the Infinite]], who seeks the [[Spear of Vulkan]].<br />
*'''975.[[M41]]''' - The [[Defense of Nocturne]].<br />
*'''980.[[M41]]''' - The [[Promethean War]]<br />
*'''988.[[M41]]''' - [[Campaign of Fire and Steel]]{{Fn|29}}<br />
*'''995.[[M41]]''' - The [[Bloodplague Crusade]]<br />
*'''998.[[M41]]''' - The 5th Company carry out search-and-destroy missions against several worlds in the [[Heracles sub-sector]] suspected of being [[Necron]] [[Tomb World]]s.{{Fn|2b}}<br />
*'''999.[[M41]]''' - [[Third War for Armageddon]]. When Ghazghkull launched his new offensive against the Imperial forces on [[Armageddon]], the Salamanders were one of the first Chapters to respond, sending their full seven{{Fn|3}} Companies to combat the Orks, including Chapter Master Tu'Shan personally leading his Firedrakes. In addition to the deployment of 70 Salamanders of the 6th Company, under the command of Sergeant V'reth, to Hive Helsreach in support of the Black Templars{{Fn|13a}}, the Salamanders launched several counter-attacks against the rock-forts landed by the Orks along the Hemlock river. Preferring the close-quarter fighting within the maze of crudely carved tunnels within the [[Rok]]s to the long-range duels in the desert, the Salamanders made the Orks pay a high price for their audacity. By the [[Season of Fire]] at least nine Roks were destroyed by the Salamanders' attacks, slaughtering untold thousands of filthy greenskins.{{Fn|7}}<br />
<br />
Many chapters fought in the name of the Emperor, or for personal glory. Of the fully twenty chapters, only the Salamanders fought for the people of Armageddon. According to rumors, Tu'Shan himself came to blows with Captain [[Vinyar]] of the [[Marines Malevolent]], when the latter shelled a refugee camp the Orks had penetrated.{{Fn|14}} Vinyar is said to have left the civilians to die because he "hadn´t time" to defend them, a notion which greatly angered the Chapter Master.{{Fn|3}} After the Season of Fire, only two Companies were left to protect the major population centers, while the Chapter's [[Techmarines]] have been busy rebuilding the destroyed infrastructure.{{Fn|7}} Tu'Shan also left a squad of Firedrakes with the Blood Angels as an honour guard for the fallen Captain [[Tycho]].{{Fn|7}}<br />
<br />
===='''Undated'''====<br />
* [[Siege of Xaros]] – Nearly hundred days battle between armies of the Salamanders and the [[Imperial Guard]] against the [[Necron]]s of [[Sautekh Dynasty]] at the awakened tomb world of [[Zykorak]]. Eventually the [[Strike Force Ultra]] of Salamanders Chapter managed to destroy the xenos horde and the [[Necron Overlord]], [[Aramakh]] was smashed to pieces.{{Fn|26}}.<br />
<br />
==Gene-seed==<br />
[[Image:SalamanderDW.jpg|thumb|right|A Salamander without his helmet, showing his coal-black skin{{Fn|12}}]]<br />
As far as can be determined by the [[Magos Biologis]] of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Salamander's gene-seed appears to be both stable and as yet uncorrupted. An unusual trait of the Salamanders is that their Battle-Brothers tend to be slower in reflex reaction than other Chapters, though the origin of this factor is debated; it is unknown whether this defect is due to a problem with the gene-seed that manifested as a result of most Salamanders being raised on their high-gravity world, or the psychological result of the Chapter's doctrines and psycho-conditioning against hastiness and impetuosity. However, it has been noted that a Salamanders Space Marine can move just as quickly as any Astartes equipped with [[Power Armour]], and are still significantly faster than those of a normal human.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
Also, as a result of a reaction between their genetics and the high levels of radiation on Nocturne, Salamanders battle brothers have dark or jet black skin and bright, burning eyes. This frightening appearance is entirely superficial, but has intimidated more than one rebellion into submission without firing a shot.{{Fn|2a}}<br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
[[Image:salamanderslib.jpg|thumb|left|160px|Salamanders [[Librarian]]]]<br />
Although the Salamanders follow the [[Codex Astartes]], they nonetheless also follow the doctrines of their own '''Promethean Cult'''. The Promethean Cult places high emphasis on self-reliance, self-sacrifice and loyalty. Symbols of the forge - such as fire and hammers - are prominent throughout Promethean iconography. As such, [[Flamer]]s, [[Melta Weapon|Melta Weapons]] and [[Thunder Hammer|Thunder Hammer]]s are widely used throughout the chapter. As one can imagine, this preference for Flamers and Meltas leads to a strong affinity among the Salamanders for close-range firefight when in combat, although they are just as capable at other aspects of Space Marine battle doctrine.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
Because of their early training as blacksmiths, all Salamanders are fully capable of maintaining and performing moderate repair on their weapons and armour, leaving the Chapter's artificers with the free time necessary to create great works of technology and metallurgy. As a result, the Salamanders Chapter has an unusually high number of Master-Crafted Weapons, [[Artificer Armour]] and even [[Tactical Dreadnought Armour]].{{Fn|1a}} The Chapter also favours the use of Land Raider Redeemers.{{Cite This}} <br />
<br />
In an interesting example of juxtaposition, however, the fluctuating gravity of Nocturne makes training with certain units such as Land Speeders and Bikes difficult, therefore the chapter makes little use of them, in favour of Devastator squads and Terminator Squads. Trained never to give up or retreat, Salamanders are capable of going on when their entire squad is dead, holding positions for months on end. This is one of the more significant effects of Promethean doctrines upon the Chapter's collective psyche. Before each battle the Salamanders get a brand mark each by a Brander-Priest. This symbolizes their respect for the chapter. Only veterans ever get brand marks in their faces.{{Fn|1a}}<br />
<br />
===Known Rituals of the Promethean Cult===<br />
<br />
* Upon the start of a new campaign, each Salamander builds his own pyre, separate from his battle-brothers and leaves, returning when the flames are at their apex. In solitude, they anoint their armour and focus upon the key tenants of the Promethean Cult.<br />

==Recruitment==<br />
The Salamanders are noted to stipulate a long and arduous recruitment process for initiates. They start young, at around ages six or seven; for these first years the apprentice is merely that; an worker in the forge of a Space Marine, who will watch over and judge the prospects of the initiates. After some years, the apprentices are judged by the Chapter's [[Apothecaries]] and [[Chaplains]] in a series of examinations. Those successful will be taken for first-stage implantation. At set intervals throughout their training, the initiates must replicate feats performed by Vulkan in his youth, including those he performed in contest with the Emperor; this will culminate in them being required to hunt and slay a [[Salamander (Creature)|salamander]]<br />

{{Trivia}}<br />
*The Salamanders were at one stage conceptualised as being black of skin tone; this was commonly interpreted (by the 'Eavy Metal painters as well as the fandom) to mean a natural black skin tone. In Fifth edition however, it was made clear that this meant actual '''black''' skin; as in jet black, coal black etc. Additionally, the Salamanders were also given 'burning' red eyes that actually glow. <br />

'''Headhunters''' were specialized [[Alpha Legion]] infantry during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. Seeking a further refinement of the [[Seeker Space Marine|Seeker]] concept, the Alpha Legion formed Kill Teams of skilled infiltrators who specialized in creating conditions of all-consuming chaos among the enemy's ranks. They sowed confusion by eliminating key officers, striking key positions, and sabotaging key assets. Had their activities been known by the [[Galaxy]] at large, they would have been greatly feared.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
As the most skilled infiltrators and assassins in the Legion, Headhunters had access to the most advanced wargear the Alpha Legion could provide. This included specialized ammunition designed specifically to penetrate [[Power Armour]].{{Fn|1}}<br />

==History==<br />
===The Great Crusade===<br />
====Founding====<br />
Originally founded as the '''XIXth Legion''', the Legion was used by the [[Emperor]] as his hidden hand in its early years during the [[Unification Wars]] on [[Terra]]. The original recruits of the Legion were firstborn sons drawn from tribes of savage yet technologically adept Xeric warriors of the Asiatic Dustfields, which regularly battled with the much larger [[Yndonesic Bloc]].<br />
<br />
In its earliest days, the XIXth Legion was used for infiltration, reconnaissance, and target identification operations. The Legion was covertly used to quickly annihilate any faction which refused to submit to the new [[Imperium]], striking from the shadows without warning. One of the earliest known campaigns by the Legion was the conquest of the central Asiatic region, which was ruled by a tyrant known as [[Kalagann of Ursh]]. They won many battle honors on Terra, and later took part in the expansion of the Imperium into the rest of the [[Sol System]], liberating [[Jupiter]]'s moon of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysithea_(moon) Lysithea] from [[xenos]]. The battle on Lysithea proved costly for the Legion however, and for many years after veterans of the battle wore Jovian runes in its commemoration.{{Fn|30}}<br />
<br />
In the early days of the Great Crusade, the Legion found itself in the shadow of [[Horus]] and his [[Luna Wolves]]. While Horus valued the XIXth greatly, the Legions forces were largely serving as support troops for the Wolves.{{Fn|30}}<br />
<br />
The Legion's Primarch [[Corax]] was not reunited with the Legion for nearly two centuries.{{Fn|30}} first meeting between Corax and the [[Emperor]] is shrouded in mystery, as the two spent a day and a night in private discussion, with no records kept about the conversation's contents.{{Fn|2a}} At dawn the next day though, Corax agreed to take command of the Legion, on the condition that Kiavahr be conquered and brought into the [[Imperial]] fold.{{Fn|2a}}<br />
<br />
The Great Crusade was already a century old by the time Corax took command of his Legion, but quickly imposed his style of war he had learned on Deliverance on his new troops. Stealth, swiftness, and guile were impressed on a Legion already renowned for its reconnaissance and rapid-strike capability. In particular, the old ways of the Xeric tribes were purged. Corax also was disheartened by the way his Legion had been used as a repression, counter-insurgency, and occupation force; not unlike what he had fought against himself. He purged the Legion of its old commanders, such as Lord [[Arkhas Fal]]. Corax also used factories on [[Kiavahr]] to commission several vehicles unique to his forces, most notably the [[Shadowhawk]], a stealth variant of the [[Thunderhawk]] as well as the [[Whispercutter]].{{Fn|30}}<br />
<br />
====Doctrine and Record====<br />
During the [[Great Crusade]] the Raven Guard, based upon the training Corax had learned on Deliverance, became masters of sabotage, assassination and other covert operations. Planets that were thought impossible to take fell quickly as the Raven Guard applied precise military pressure to its vulnerable sectors.{{Fn|2a}} Such was the Legion's reputation that [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] frequently requested their assistance to assure victory, though there was little admiration between the two; unconfirmed reports include the two sides nearly coming to blows on one occasion.{{Fn|2a}}<br />
<br />
Tensions between the two boiled after during the [[Battle of Gate Forty-Two]], where Horus had the Raven Guard launch a bloody frontal assault on enemy defenses that decimated the Legion's numbers despite Corax's warnings that the plan was reckless beforehand. After the battle the Raven Guard was reduced to 80,000 Astartes. Corax removed his forces from Horus' command, bitterly swearing to never serve alongside the Warmaster again.{{Fn|30}}<br />

===The Horus Heresy===<br />
[[Image:Corax-Soulforge-clean.jpg|thumb|right|295px|[[Corax]] leads the Raven Guard against the [[Dark Mechanicus]] during the Horus Heresy]]<br />
The Raven Guard legion was one of the smallest legions during the [[Great Crusade]], numbering 80,000 Astartese as well as an [[Imperial Army]] [[Regiment]] known as the [[Therion Cohort]] attached to the legion's expeditionary force.{{Fn|12}} As a legion they were a fierce enemy for anyone who opposed the [[Imperium of Man]], using time honoured tactics of guerilla warfare which Corax himself had learnt during the Revolution he himself had commanded to free his people from the merciless slavery forced upon them by the Tech Guilds of [[Kiavahr]].{{Fn|12}} Extremely efficient and trained, the Raven Guard would engage in acts of mass sabotage along with infiltration, blink-of-an-eye Strikes, and expert covert operations, all of which they had perfected into what would look like ease to any other warrior.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
The [[Raven Guard]] were one of seven legions to be sent to the Istvaan system (Others present were the [[Iron Hands]], [[Salamanders]], [[Alpha Legion]], [[Iron Warriors]], [[Night Lords]] and [[Word Bearers]]) to quell a rebellion lead by the former [[Warmaster]], [[Horus]] - [[Primarch]] of the [[Sons of Horus]] Legion (Formerly the [[Luna Wolves]]).{{Fn|12}} Horus and his other three traitor primarchs ([[Fulgrim]], [[Angron]] and [[Mortarion]]) had entrenched themselves on the planet of [[Istvaan V]], and lay in wait for the Loyalist forces to land and engage.{{Fn|12}} The fighting once joined was fierce and hot-blooded, brother versus brother, and no quarter was given on either side.{{Fn|12}} Mid way into the fighting, Horus and his allies retreated back into their fortifications for no reason that could be grasped by the loyalist factions.{{Fn|12}} The Raven Guard were in the thick of the fighting from the start, though out of their element due to the lack of tactical planning and the close-up-and-personal combat spreading like wildfire across the plains of Istvaan V. They fought both with as much honour and as much skill as any other legion would in the circumstances.{{Fn|12}} When the traitors made a surprise withdrawal back to their fortifications, the Raven Guard used this cease in the fighting to regroup and re-arm.{{Fn|12}} However, when they neared the "loyalist" defences (which were tenfold reinforced by the expert siege engineers of the Iron Warriors legion under their [[Primarch]] [[Perturabo]]'s direction, they were fired upon by the very guns meant to protect them. Hundreds were gunned down in the first few minutes of the betrayal, before they even realised that there were traitors in there midst.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
Four of the seven loyalist [[legions]] sent to Istvaan V had thrown off the colours and pretences of the [[Imperium]], and set about playing out a totally new preformance (hatched from long before Istvaan).{{Fn|12}} The [[Iron Warriors]], [[Night Lords]], [[Alpha Legion]], and [[Word Bearers]] turned on their brethren in a bloody thunderstorm of [[bolter]]s and blades, decimating their numbers in a multitude of seemingly never ending skirmishes and drudging battles for ground that cost lives for every metre gained or lost.{{Fn|12}} [[Corax]] and his legion were reduced from their mighty 80,000 warriors to a meagre 3,000 battle hardened veterans.{{Fn|12}} Himself by now a brooding vengeful demigod, weilding a whip{{Fn|12}} in place of his normal customary left set of talons which were lost in a rage fueled duel with the traitorous primarch [[Lorgar]], which would have ended in [[Lorgar]]'s death had [[Konrad Curze]], [[Primarch]] of the [[Night Lords]] (also known as the [[Night Haunter]]) Not intervened and shattered it with a swipe of his own claws.{{Fn|12}} Respite came in the form of a single [[battle barge]] The "[[Avenger]]"{{Fn|12}}, captained by [[Space Marine Commander|Commander]] [[Branne Nev]], a captain originally stationed on Deliverance as a garrison commander, with him came the battered remains of the [[Therion Cohort]] normally serving with the legion under [[Praefactor Valerius]] who ironically brought [[Isstvan V]] into compliance with Corax the first time. {{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
Upon escaping the tailing forces of [[World Eater]]'s picket ships, "[[Avenger]]"{{Fn|12}} broke real-space into the warp, and headed for Terra.{{Fn|12}} Upon arriving Corax headed for the Imperial Palace, which was being fortified by Rogal Dorn and his Imperial Fists in preperation for the coming Siege (Siege of Terra), upon which after much argument with Dorn and Malcador the Imperial Regent, The Emperor himself boomed in a psychic voice for the arguing to cease and pulled Corax into a vision of extreme light, and showed him the secrets he had been asking for - The gene forging tech used to create the Primarch's by the Emperor himself.{{Fn|12}} After navigating the treacherous and dangerous contraption which was the ever shape-shifting maze on Luna, by using his advanced logic, and the skill of his sons to out-think its logic engine and freeze it in place, he retrieved the gene tech and returned to Deliverance under the watchful eye of the Adeptus Custodes (who were charged by Malcador to keep an eye on its safety).{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
At first the Astartese created by the gene tech were a marvel, a splice of primarch and Astartese, but not in an imbalanced degree so as to cause malfunction, a perfect meld.{{Fn|12}} These new warriors were faster, stronger, and more intelligent than any of the older warriors of the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]], and within a few weeks more aspirants had been successfully implanted with stable [[gene-seed]] than ever before (the new gene seed also meant that warriors matured into their new forms rapidly compared to standard Astartese).{{Fn|12}} The new warriors would be placed under the command of Captain Branne Nev under the moniker "[[Raptors]]", and would be used against a [[Word Bearer]] fortress as their first deployment, which would see them successfully slaughter veteran [[Word Bearer]]s with the ease of much older warriors. Raptors would take injuries that would have killed even an Astartese, and still remain fighting due to their enhanced bodies.{{Fn|12}} Word of this reached the ears of [[Omegon]], twin [[primarch]] of the Alpha Legion, whom had been laying dormant on [[Kiavahr]] below stirring up a rebellion amongst the tech guilds, and he sprung into action.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
The rebellion and even the Alpha Legionnaires supporting it were a distraction, while the Raven Guard were caught off guard, Omegon and several Alpha Legion operatives managed to covertly spike the gene tech with a daemon blood poison (while managing to keep the pure technology for themselves) using the Raven Guard [[gene-seed]] to produce deformed monsters.{{Fn|12}} The battle finally began as the first Raven Guard recruits to recieve the secretly spiked gene seed were implanted, and by the time it raged into the gene labs of [[Ravendelve]], only to be met by deformed warriors created by the spiked gene seed's effects.{{Fn|12}} While deformed, these astartese still fought with otherworldly strength, overpowering even the Alpha Legion Astartese.{{Fn|12}} By the time the battle was over, Agents had been found amidst the legion, explaining how news reached the traitors about the gene tech, and thus the loss of such a boon to the crippled legion, gene screening was to be implemented to find and destroy the agents with the stolen faces of Raven Guard Legionnaires.{{Fn|12}}<br />
Without the gene tech the Raven Guard Legion remained a small legion, though their continued work with small cells of warriors allowed them to remain no less of a fighting force, though fewer in number then before. {{Fn|12}} When Roboute Guilliman announced his "[[Codex Astartes]]" which would split the legions into organised chapters, Corax was circumstantially forced to adapt to the new rules, Abliet still retaining his legions overall structure, but in smaller [[chapter]]s of 1,000 Astartese, As is how the [[Raven Guard]] chapter is to this day.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
===Horus Heresy Aftermath===<br />
<br />
The Raven Guard chapter birthed in the [[Second Founding]] from the Raven Guard legion remained a successful fighting force, even with diminished numbers (1,000 Astartes from the 3,000 survivors of the [[Drop Site Massacre]]).{{Fn|4a}} The hunt for [[Kernax Voldorius]] alongside the [[White Scars]]{{Fn|11b}}, 4th Company's deployment of several Raven Guard warriors to aid the Ultramarines in their capture of Adaric Vaanes, and the defence of Ultramar{{Fn|9}}, and many other campaigns have been successfully won by these masters of shadow.<br />

*'''996999.[[M41]]''' - The [[Waaagh! Garaghak]]. The entire chapter stands ready to defend their homeworld against Ork Waaagh! of titanic proportions.{{Fn|18}}<br />
<br />
==Homeworld==<br />
The Raven Guard homeworld is [[Deliverance]], a moon which their Fortress Monastery "[[Raven Spire]]" is built on.{{Fn|12}} Deliverance was once known as Lycaeus, where 10,000 years previous to current events, Corvus Corax (soon to be [[Primarch]] of the Raven Guard Legion) lead a revolution to free his fellow slaves, and eventually the whole moon from the Slavery enforced on them by the Tech Guilds of the planet below, [[Kiavahr]].{{Fn|12}} Kiavahr was converted into a forge world by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] upon the [[Emperor]]'s arrival, due to [[Corax]]'s wishes that the Tech Guilds no longer held sway, this meant that the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] also recieved a vital supply line for materials.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
==Gene-seed==<br />
The degeneration of the Raven Guard [[gene-seed]] means several of the unique organs of the Space Marines no longer work properly or no longer grow. Raven Guard do not have the [[Mucranoid]] or [[Betcher's Gland]]. The [[Melanchromic Organ]] has a unique mutation that causes the skin of the Space Marine to grow paler.{{Fn|3}} Eventually each Marine's skin becomes pure white while their hair and eyes darken, becoming black as coal.<br />
The main issues could have come from [[Corax]]'s experimentation with the Raven Guard Gene-Seed to try and create stronger and faster-maturing astartes (although the [[Alpha Legion]] is primarily to blame for causing his project's failure), it is never fully stated what is the actual cause.{{Fn|12}}<br />
<br />
==Shadowmasters==<br />
The Shadowmasters or [[Mor Deythan]] were a unit of Raven Guard during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. They were ordinary battle-brothers who had [[Corax|their primarch]]'s ability to '''Shadow-walk'''. It was a quirk of the gene-seed in a few [[Deliverance|Deliverancian]] born Raven Guard that had more than just the standard gene code. One unique trait about the Shadowmasters is that they were completely unknown to their own legion. The marines were selected for testing "Thermal Technology" which was considered "highly temperamental. Corax and select apothecaries are the only marines in the legion that knew of the group at the time of the [[Horus Heresy]]. The Mor Deythan acted as an elite stealth team and saboteurs and communicated through '''Stalk-Argot''' while working in concert with the rest of the legion. The Shadowmasters performed flanking maneuvers and sabotaged columns of rogue [[Skitarii]] on [[Constinax]]. {{Fn|20}}<br />
<br />
==Culture and combat doctrine==<br />
[[Image:M1860546 RavenguardOpener.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Raven Guard]]The Raven Guard are known for hitting weak points in enemy defences hard and they perform lightning strikes upon locations of tactical importance to cripple their enemy. The Raven Guard disdain the notion of recklessly charging into enemy ranks. This differentiates their tactics from those of the [[Blood Angels]]. The Raven Guard rely heavily on their [[Scouts]] for pinpointing enemy positions and to scout for good drop sites. Because of their hit and run tactics they also make extensive use of [[Assault Squad]]s. The [[Tactical Squad]]s of the Raven Guard are often deployed via [[Thunderhawk]]s or [[Drop Pod]]s. The favorite weapons of the Raven Guard [[Space Marine Commander|Commander]]s are the [[Lightning Claw]]s and it is a common sight that their command squads also come equipped with these weapons in addition to their [[Jump Pack]]s.<br />
Raven Guard Captains are fiercely independent, and it's incredibly rare for the chapter to fight as a whole.<br />
Individual companies are completely autonomous and are quick to lend their aid to Imperial commanders across the galaxy, with or without the sanction of their Chapter Master.<br />
Such behaviour has led to some to question the Raven Guard's soundness, but most recognise that such fluidity of command proves the presence of formidable discipline, not its absence.{{Fn|4a}}<br />
<br />
Due to their specialised combat style, the Raven Guard makes less use of heavier vehicles and tanks (such as the [[Land Raider]] and [[Predator]]) than most chapters.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
The right shoulder guard trim denotes the type of Space Marine. Green is for tactical squads, red is for assault squads and yellow is for devastators. The left kneepad displays the company number{{Fn|5}}<br />
<br />
===Traditions===<br />
<br />
====Corvia====<br />
<br />
All Raven Guard during their initiation or as a form of meditation or spirit quest hunt the tiny ravens native to the forests of [[Kiavahr]]. It takes months of training and practice for recruits to sneak up on the small and alert birds, grab them in their bare hands and snap their necks. The skulls of these birds are worn as small totems hanging from a marine's belt on small chains. These totems are known as Corvia and represent a warrior's honor. If a battle-brother falls, one of his surviving comrades will recover his Corvia and carry it, and thus the fallen warrior's honor, into battle until he can return to Kiavahr and bury the small skulls in the soil of the Chapter's homeworld. {{Fn|27}}<br />
<br />
====Treatment of the Dead====<br />
<br />
Upon death, where practical, the body of the Raven Guard will be stripped of it's equipment and trappings (including the Corvia), harvested of it's [[gene-seed]] and left for the local carrion birds to feed upon {{Fn|21b}}<br />
<br />
===="Wraith-Slipping"====<br />
<br />
Described as being a combination of mental discipline and martial art, the process of "wraith-slipping" is to take advantage of one's surroundings to conceal one's presence. This is not a psychic power but rather a collection of disciplines and techniques that the Raven Guard use to conceal their visual and aural presence despite their use of power armour. It is a technique that is described both prior to the outbreak of civil war in the Horus Heresy{{Fn|28a}} and up to the 41st Millennium{{Fn|24a}}. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Organisation==<br />
The Raven Guard are a [[Codex Chapter]] who generally adhere to the [[Codex Astartes]] in their Organisation.{{Fn|7}}<br />
===Headquarters===<br />
<br />
The current headquarters staff as of 999.[[M41]] are as follows:<br />

===Company Disposition===<br />
Like all Codex chapters, the Raven Guard are divided into ten Companies. Each Company is led by a hero of the Raven Guard who bears the title [[Shadow Captain]]{{Fn|6}} and who - in addition to his Company command - is in charge of a particular aspect of the Chapter's logistics. The current Company commanders are as follows:<br />

==Recruitment==<br />
[[Image:assalt.jpg|thumb|right|Raven Guard Veteran assault marine]]<br />
Owing to the instability of the Raven Guard gene-seed and the experiments of Corax, much of the chapter's genetic stock has been irreparably damaged. Now, much of their genetic material comes from supplies held on [[Terra]]. This means the cycle of recruitment for the Raven Guard is much slower than other Chapters and fewer Raven Guard candidates for the Chapter prove able to survive their training and genetic modification. This means the chapter is constantly short-handed.<br />
<br />
The Raven Guard's chapter planet [[Deliverance]] is said to lack the population resources available on other chapter's homeworlds. By the time of the Horus Heresy only a few thousand marines in the Raven Guard's number were recruited from Deliverance, the rest made up of the original [[Terra|Terran]] forces inducted before the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
<br />
==Equipment==<br />

<br />
*See - ''[[Space Marine Armoury]]'' for generic Space Marine weapons, vehicles and equipment<br />
*See - ''[[Raven Guard Armoury]]'' for Raven Guard-specific items<br />
<br />
The Chapter makes wide use of the "beaked" and older marks of [[Power Armour]] (Mk. IV-VI). After their near-destruction at Isstvan V, the Raven Guard techmarines created ad hoc suits using salvaged parts and components from other suits or vehicles.{{Fn|12g}} When battle barge Avenger returned to Deliverance, Raven Guard received shipment of 2 000 suits of Mk. VI [[Power Armour]]. {{Fn|12h}} At that time, the Mark VI, designed as Corvus suit, was the newest and most advanced version. Because this mark of [[Power Armour]] carries name of [[primarch]] [[Corax]] it is natural that the Raven Guard feel bond to this mark of armour.<br />
The Raven Guard's chapter planet and base of operations has the production capacity of a small forge world, ensuring that the Raven Guard rarely lacks for the material to prosecute its campaigns.{{Fn|4b}}<br />
Raven Guard's [[Power Armour]] utilises enhanced cooling systems that which helps to blend in better with the background. By this means Raven Guard's warriors are hard to be detected by thermal or infrared devices.{{Fn|11a}}<br />

While stated in the background that all ''Raven Guard'' have black hair, there is at least one instance where [[Games Workshop]] showed a miniature [http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1860548_Raven_guard_AssaultMarines.jpg with a different hair colour] (accessed 2011/09/08). If this is a mistake or deliberate is unknown.<br />

The '''Battle of Fordris''' was fought on the world of [[Fordris]] between the [[Necrons]] and [[Orks]] of [[Waaagh! Skullkrak]].{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
[[Ork]] [[Warboss]] [[Skullrak]] had led his [[boyz]] to the ghost world of [[Fordris]], pursuing rumors of ancient weaponry to be plundered and used in his campaign against the [[Raven Guard]] [[Space Marines]]. However, Fordris was not uninhabited and the Orks discovered it was very much an active [[Tomb World]] holding legions of [[Necron Warrior]]s.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
Unleashing a devastating volley of [[Gauss Flayer]] fire into the Ork lines in phalanx formation, the Orks were cut down and Skullrak himself only survived by using one of his boyz as a shield. However the Orks kept charging at the Necrons, taking no heed to their losses and soon the battle erupted into a vicious melee. Ripping the Necrons apart and seemingly victorious, the Orks began to celebrate but their victory was cut short when the Necrons regeneration circuits kicked in and the mechanical legion was upon Skullrak once more. This scene would replay itself all across Fordris: the Orks' ferocity bore the Necrons to the ground, but again and again the fallen put themselves back together to fight once more.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
However the battle had seemingly turned for Orks favor when the tide from the nearby ocean swept in, causing vital components of downed Necrons to sweep out to sea and make regeneration impossible. But this soon proved deadly as Necrons who did regenerate were able to hide beneath the waves and strike the Orks at will. The Orks were now forced against a cliff, the necron-infested sea at their backs when a [[Monolith]] emerged from the waves and obliterated the last of the Orks, including Skullrak himself.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
Far beneath the surface of the bay in a stone chamber, two [[Necron Lord]]s watched a recreation of the battle via holograms and determined that the combat effectiveness of the Necron Legions of Fordris was only 70%. Realizing that more tests were required to put their legions at 100% effiency, the Lords activated a [[Mindshackle Scarab]] on a [[human]] [[Tech Priest]] Dreicon, who three months later began his own expedition to Fordris in search of the cache of xenos technology. The resulting war would again test the Necrons of Fordris until their war craft achieved perfection.{{Fn|1}}<br />

[[Image:Land Raider.JPG|thumb|right|320px|Space Marine Land Raider]]<br />
<br />
The '''Land Raider''' is a heavy tank and transport used primarily by the [[Space Marine]]s and [[Chaos Space Marine]]s, but also by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]{{Fn|10b}} and [[Inquisition]]{{Fn|4}}. It is capable of operating in virtually any kind of planetary environment. Its hull fully isolates its occupants from the environment and provides life support functions, allowing operation on inhospitable and airless planets.<br />
<br />
The Land Raider is designed to move at a good speed while still carrying heavy armaments as well as a number of warriors within its armoured hull. It is a [[Standard Template Construct]] vehicle, like many others in the armouies of [[Imperial]] forces and has been modified several times since its rediscovery. The standard modern pattern of Land Raider however is known as the '''Land Raider Phobos'''{{Fn|10a}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Origins===<br />
The Land Raider has its origins in the [[Dark Age of Technology]], when humankind expanded out of its home system. Its construction method was incorporated into the great [[STC]] system, allowing it to be built locally by colonists even if they lacked any great technical knowledge. With the widespread breakdown of human civilization during the [[Age of Strife]], production of the vehicle ceased.{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
During the [[Great Crusade]] the Land Raider STC design was rediscovered, allowing their manufacture. The discoverer is commonly believed to be the Techno-archaeologist [[Magos]] [[Arkhan Land]] who, at the very birth of the Imperium, is said to have rediscovered the STC designs hidden beneath the surface of [[Mars]]. These vehicles were incorporated into the arsenals of the Imperium's forces, used by both the [[Space Marine Legion]]s and the [[Imperial Army]]. Such was the demand for the Land Raider that an entire [[Forge World]], [[Anvilus 9]], was devoted entirely to Land Raider production, supplying thousands upon thousands of Land Raiders to the [[Emperor]]'s holy forces.{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
However, at the outset of the [[Horus Heresy]], Anvilus 9 along with other Forge Worlds were seized by the [[Dark Mechanicum]] aligned with [[Horus]], while others chose to secede from the [[Imperium]] and remain neutral. This would prove to be a terrible blow to the Loyalists as their supply of Land Raiders began to dry up, especially since, in sufficient numbers, Land Raiders can take on and destroy even [[Titan]]s.{{Fn|4}} With the dark clouds of the rebellion drawing closer to [[Terra]], the Emperor ordered that all Land Raiders still in loyalist service were to be transferred and used exclusively by the Legiones Astartes, who were at the forefront of the fighting. The Emperor was never able to annul the order, and consequently, even after the Heresy, the use of the Land Raider remained exclusive to the Space Marines.{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />
===The Land Raider in the 41st millennium===<br />
Land Raiders are used by Space Marines as well as by their counterparts in the [[Traitor Legions]], who have continued to employ the vehicle after their defeat and exile.<br />
<br />
Since its rediscovery over ten thousand years ago, newly discovered STC information and modifications to the original design have produced different marks and variants. Most of these variants have been recognised by the Priesthood of Mars. Some of these are the [[Land Raider Crusader]], [[Land Raider Helios]], [[Land Raider Prometheus]], [[Land Raider Ares]], [[Land Raider Redeemer]] and [[Land Raider Terminus Ultra]].{{Cite This}}<br />
<br />
According to the organizational guidelines laid down by the [[Codex Astartes]], the Land Raider is only used by the [[1st Company]] of a Space Marine chapter. However, some less orthodox chapters are known to use it more widely. The [[Salamanders]] chapter uses an altered version of the Codex Astartes with 12 squads in the 1st company instead of 10, increasing the maximum number of Land Raiders available to 12.{{Cite This}}<br />
<br />
Land Raiders may also be formed into [[Armoured Spearhead]]s, designed to punch holes through enemy lines and allow penetration into their rear areas.{{Cite This}}<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
===Armament===<br />
The Land Raider is armed with a hull-mounted [[twin-linked]] [[heavy bolter]] and two side sponsons each with twin-linked [[lascannon]]s. It may also be fitted with a [[pintle mounted]] [[storm bolter]]. Sponson weapons are controlled through a slaved remote targeting system, and aimed through multi-spectral optic periscopes located around the turret rings. The lascannons are of the Godhammer Kz9.76 design, requiring replacement barrels after 2000 shots.{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
===Armour===<br />
The Land Raider uses a composite armour created by bonding layers in huge, high-pressure cookers, giving it a level of protection incomparable to most other Imperial vehicles. The first armour layer, in addition to structural supports, is constructed of [[adamantine]]. The second is a titanium/[[plasteel]] composite used to reinforce strategic locations, such as the assault ramp, front glacis and hatch doors. The next is a thermo-plas fibre mesh to absorb and dissipate high-energy [[laser weapon]]s, followed by the first of two [[ceramite]] layers, designed to ablate against extreme heat and [[melta weapon]]s.{{Fn|4}} When combined, this armouring makes the Land Raider virtually immune to heavy artillery like [[Battle Cannon]]s.{{Fn|5}}<br />
<br />
===Engine===<br />
Power for the Land Raider is provided for by a Mars pattern adaptable thermic combustor reaction engine, situated in the rear of the vehicle. It is kept cool by a nitro-ammonium cooling system, and protected from malfunction and [[Daemon]]ic possession by [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] manufacturing sigils and [[purity seal]]s. The engine provides power for all of the Land Raider's systems and can propel it up to an on-road speed of 55km/h.{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
===Equipment===<br />
[[Image:LRArt.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Space Marine Land Raiders{{Fn|4}}]]<br />
Every Land Raider is equipped with automatic control systems known as a [[Machine Spirit]]. The Machine Spirit assists the crew in operating the tank and, in extreme circumstances, can operate the vehicle on its own.{{Fn|4}} Perhaps the most famous example of this was ''[[Rynn's Might]]'' which, despite lacking any crew, proceeded to kill an [[Ork]] [[Warboss]] and his followers before eventually being destroyed.{{Cite This}}<br />
<br />
The Land Raider is hermetically sealed, allowing it to operate in outer space or at the bottom of an ocean.{{Fn|1}} It also includes atmospheric sampling equipment, an air filtration and purification unit, and rad-counters for operation in hazardous environments. Each Land Raider also contains significant command and control equipment. The commander is able to monitor his unit's bio-status and other information through Individual squad status screens, using information transmitted by their [[power armour]] through the vehicle's communications dish. The commander also has access to a holographic tactical display and can directly interface with the Machine Spirit.{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
For security purposes, all controls are gene-coded to prevent their unauthorized use by the enemy.{{Fn|4}} Other standard equipment includes a [[Searchlight]] and [[Smoke Launchers]]. Additional upgrades include [[Dozer Blades]], [[Extra Armour]], a [[Hunter-killer Missile]], and a [[Multi-Melta]].{{Cite This}}<br />
<br />
===Transportation===<br />
The Land Raider has an impressive carrying capacity, either 10 Space Marines in [[Power Armour]] or 5 in [[Terminator Armour]].{{Fn|11}} Since it is hermetically sealed, the Land Raider has no fire ports for the embarked troops to use. The Space Marines can exit from three access points, two hatches located on both sides of the vehicle or a special front assault ramp for disembarking troops straight into combat.{{Fn|4}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
* The Land Raider strongly resembles the Mark series of tanks, the first tanks ever in human history fielded by the British in World War I.<br />
<br />
* The standard Land Raider (Phobos) armed with Twin-linked Lascannons and Heavy Bolters is sometimes referred to as the '''Land Raider Godhammer.''' It is so named for the Lascannons it mounts, which are known as the '''Godhammer''' pattern. This name is used mostly on online forums. In-universe, it is never referred to as such.<br />

<br />
The [[Ork]]s are the most widespread of the sentient races, inhabiting worlds across the whole of the known [[galaxy]], and probably throughout whole universe. There are Ork realms, Ork Empires and untold numbers of isolated Ork Worlds. Wherever the humanity may travel in the universe, there are Orks. The universe is Orkdom, the domain of Orks and the [[Eldar]] say that the Orks have become part of reality itself.{{Fn|7}}{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />
==Ork Expansion==<br />
[[Image:7th-orkmap.jpg|thumb|400px|Orks in the Galaxy{{Fn|14}}]]<br />
Very little is known about the beginning of Ork expansion. It occurs sporadically, giving them an entirely random pattern of settlement through the galaxy. Their main way of expansion is known as [[Waaagh!]] - combination of mass-scale migration and holy war through which Orks have managed to get hold on innumerable worlds all over the galaxy. Their expansion is aided by their natural toughness, allowing them to survive in the harshest of conditions and colonise very inhospitable worlds. Particularly successful Waaaghs! capture great swathes of space, resulting in creation of Ork Empires. These are not connected to each other and despite their control over a significant part of known space, Ork Domains are not a united or cohesive organisation - rather they are a collection of thousands of individual territories and empires. These independent factions are as likely to fight with each other as they are with any other species which are sometimes even hard to find in Ork-controlled territories. Due to specifics of [[Orkoid physiology|Orkoid reproduction]], Ork-controlled planets are very hard to recapture and even failed Ork invasions allow them to get hold on the planet. It is widely known that once the world has seen the war with Orks, it is never free from it again as new generations of [[Feral Orks]] grow in distant corners to begin new years of bloody conflicts and giving birth to even more Orks.{{Fn|7}}{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />
==Ork Empires==<br />
A particularly successful Ork [[Warboss|Warlord]] may capture a great number of planets and form an Ork Empire. There are many such empires in the galaxy. Some, such as Ork Empire of Bork are relatively new, while others pre-date the [[Imperium]] itself. These empires often fight with each other but sometimes unite their forces in a truly apocalyptic conflicts. Known Ork Empires include:{{Fn|7}}{{Fn|2}}<br />

{{Ambiguous|subject=Imperial Titan class|disambiguation=Knight}}<br />
{{AdeptusMechanicusPortal}}<br />
[[Image:KnightArt.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Knights operating alongside [[Imperial Guard]] ]]<br />
'''Knights''' are smaller and less powerful one-man versions of [[Imperial Titan]]s. Knights are smaller than [[Warhound Scout Titan]]s, and can only mount one Titan-class weapon. These can range from [[Vulcan Mega-bolter]]s to [[Volcano cannon]]s.{{Cite This}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
During the [[Age of Strife]], the Priests of Mars sent out many expeditions of spacecraft, hoping to find remnants of human knowledge on other worlds. They found an anarchic galaxy where the ancient confederacy of interdependent human planets no longer existed. The human worlds discovered retained little of their old technology. They had devolved into feudal states ruled by aristocratic nobles who welcomed the [[Techpriests]] as long-awaited saviours. The Tech-priests settled among these feudal empires, or [[Knight Worlds]], choosing planets that were mineral rich where they could rebuild their industries. They established contacts with the Knights, trading with their worlds and investigating the ancient ruins where surviving technology could still sometimes be found. The Knights provided manpower and security against enemies such as marauding [[Ork]]s and land-hungry Eldar [[Exodite]]s. In return the Tech-priests provided technical expertise and help rebuilding their planets.{{Cite This}}<br />
<br />
Over the millennia the [[Forge World]]s became powerful and the Knight Worlds flourished under their wing. The Tech-priests and Knights became mutually dependent and each Forge World became the hub of an empire consisting of a Forge World and its surrounding Knight Worlds. The Knights learned much from the Tech-priests and their societies were gradually transformed into technically sophisticated cultures. Many of the Forge Worlds managed to maintain sporadic contact with each other, and the Tech-priests' obsession with knowledge ensured that discoveries on one world were distributed to others throughout the galaxy.{{Cite This}}<br />
<br />
The most important innovation that the Tech-priests brought to the Knight Worlds were the fighting machines called Knights. These machines were one-man versions of a Titan, much smaller and less powerful than a real Titan, but far better suited to the mobile style of warfare prevalent amongst the nobility of the Knight Worlds.{{Cite This}}<br />
<br />
In the current [[Age of the Imperium]], these Knights fight alongside the Titans and form a reserve of troops which can be called up into the [[Titan Legions]] when required. Each Knight is piloted by a noble of the Knight Worlds, these worlds having maintained their feudal societies over the millennia. Indeed, the acquisition of technology enabled the warrior nobility to strengthen its position of power on their worlds.<br />
<br />
==Society==<br />
[[Image:KnightPaladinNew.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Knight Paladin]]<br />
The Knight Worlds operate under a strict feudal system. A sub-class called the Drovers looked after the animal herds, as the nobility would not soil their hands with such work. The Drovers used walkers similar to those of their masters, but they were, by law, not armed with any weapons, despite the fact that they faced very serious threats in the form of predators and xenos raids. This forced the Drovers to rely on the Knights for protection, and created a dependency comfortable for the nobles, as it made revolt virtually impossible.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
In addition to the Knight war machines, every House had multiple men-at-arms in its employ, resembling [[Planetary Defence Force]]s, although possessing a much smaller amount of heavy equipment. On several worlds, artificers and technicians became the most important subjects of the warrior nobility. They maintained the Knight walkers, and over time styled themselves as a priesthood for the half-forgotten mysteries of technology called the [[Sacristan]]s. They arbitrated between the Knight Houses and ensured that the headstrong nobles did not wipe out one another in bitter feuds by ritualising the values of Duty, Honour and Valour. With the acceptance of these values, the Knights became known as The Chivalry.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
In addition to the threat presented by hostile Houses, Knights had to conduct frequent battles against their worlds' indigenous predators. Hunting these beasts honed their martial skills into a deadly art. The Knights themselves would retire when they reached old age, passing their Battle Armour down to their heir, and in its stead donning the armour of a [[Knight Warden]]. They would then take the task of protecting the household and lending its members their advice. Knights form family units to fight with the Titan Legions or alongside the Imperial Guard. Knights of a given house would be led by a noble holding the rank of a Lord, or the corresponding title of a Seneschal if he happened to be a Warden.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
Some Knights do not owe allegiance to any House, and instead wander the galaxy as [[Freeblade Knight]]s.{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:KnightErrantNew.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Knight Errant]]<br />
<br />
==Knight Armour==<br />
Knight armour comes in a variety of forms, with the two most common types seen being the Knight Paladin and Knight Errant. These both use the same basic body form but are fitted with different weapons arrays. However all Imperial Knights are protected by thick [[adamantium]] armor and potent field generators called [[Ion Shield]]s.{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
Other, much rarer, types of Knight armour are used on some [[Knight world]]s. Amongst the heaviest types of Knight armour made by the forge worlds are the Crusader and the Castellan. Although slower than other suit types, these two benefit from substantially increased firepower and much thicker armour, and are instead used in a fire support role. The Lancer is a faster version of a standard Knight suit. These agile machines are used to outflank the enemy, scout out their defences and distract hostile forces while slower units get into position to attack. This type of armour is sophisticated and extremely difficult to manufacture, and its use is therefore usually reserved for rulers of knightly houses, or for Nobles that have proven themselves worthy of it in the fires of victory. However, while the Crusader, Castellan and Lancer are rightly revered, the Paladin and Errant’s perfectly balanced combination of speed, firepower and armour make them the supreme examples of Knight design.{{Fn|4}}<br />
<br />
===Types of Knights===<br />
*[[Knight Paladin]]: The archetypal Knight, armed with a large-calibre [[Battle Cannon]] and a giant [[Chainsword]].{{Fn|2}}<br />
*[[Knight Errant]]: Highly suited to attacking larger targets like [[Mega Gargants]]. They carry fearsome [[Thermal Cannon]]s capable of easily vaporizing steel or flesh.{{Fn|2}}<br />
*[[Knight Lancer]]: A faster version of the standard Knight, the agile Lancer out-flanks the enemy and scouts their defensive positions. The Lancer is armed with a [[Battle Cannon]] and [[Power Lance]] for close combat.{{Fn|2}}<br />
*[[Knight Castigator]]: A pattern of Knight designed to take down hordes of lesser foes with its [[Castigator Bolt Cannon]].{{Fn|5}}<br />
*'''Knight Crusader''': The heaviest types of Knight made by [[Forgeworld]]s along with the Knight Castellan. Though slower and less nimble, they have increased firepower in the form of [[Lascannon]]s, [[Quake Cannon]]s, and [[Heavy Bolter]]s in addition to increased armor.{{Fn|2}} <br />
*'''Knight Castellan''': Similar to the Knight Crusader, but replaces its Lascannon with a multi-barrel [[Autocannon]], giving it better firepower against enemy infantry and light vehicles.{{Fn|2}}<br />
*'''Baron''': The leader of a contingent of Knights with razor-sharp warrior skills. As a sign of status every Baron has a custom-made Knight suit. Most Barons' suits are armed with power lances and rapid-fire battlecannons.{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />

==Canon Conflict==<br />
When Knights were introduced in [[White Dwarf 126 (UK)|White Dwarf 126]], they originated during the [[Dark Age of Technology]] from agricultural worlds whose [[human]] inhabitants had copied farming techniques learned from [[Eldar]] [[Exodites]] already present on them. The humans began utilising combat walkers invented by the Eldar and referred to them as "Knights". In a period referred to by the Exodites as ''The Coming of Men'', the xenos and the human colonists clashed in a number of bloody conflicts as the Eldar Knights sought to protect their homes from the colonists.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
When these planets were cut off in the Age of Strife a warrior aristocracy rose to prominence amongst its human populations, mimicking the lifestyle of the Eldar Clans. These planets were rediscovered by [[Rogue Trader]] Jeffers and brought into the newborn Imperium of Man. Most often Knight Worlds became affiliated with a particular Titan Forge World, supplying it with food and raw materials, whilst its Sacristans would fall under the control of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Other Knight Worlds were left with a large degree of autonomy, required only to produce food and obey the call to arms when it was given.{{Fn|3}}<br />

'''Knight Lancers''' are a type of specialized [[Knight]] walker of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. One of the more uncommon but highly valued Knights fielded by [[Knight House]]s, the Knight Lancer is a first-strike weapon, attuned to rapid assault tactics and lethal flanking maneuvers. It is renowned for its speed and power, as well as for the temperamental and restive nature of its [[machine-spirit]]. Knight Lancers are well-equipped for close combat, possessing both a [[Cerastus Shock Lance]] and a [[Ion Gauntlet Shield]].{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
Because of this reputation, the most impetuous and glory-hungry of the Knight households are driven to bond with these war machines, their own souls a match for the fury caged within their war engines.{{Fn|1}}<br />

[[Image:KnightErrantNew.jpg|thumb|right|270px|Knight Errant]]<br />
'''Knight Errants''' are a common type of [[Imperial]] [[Knight]] walker. These walkers lead the charge of [[Knight House]]s when they go to war. These aggressive Knights prefer to fight at the forefront of battle, hunting enemy tanks ande war engines or charging into the fray. Where a [[Knight Paladin]] is equipped for a flexible battlefield role, a Knight Errant specializes in close range actions in which it can use its formidable [[thermal cannon]] to devastating effect. Countless times have heretics, believing themselves safe within their fortified strongholds, watched in horror as the walls around them have melted and sloughed away to reveal a Knight Errant ready to butcher them in their own sanctuary.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
In the heat of battle, where a normal warrior tires as the exertions of combat take their<br />
inevitable toll, a Knight is as relentless as the tide: an unstoppable engine of death. When<br />
deployed as a household detachment, however, the Knights Errant are capable of<br />
overcoming the mightiest of foes, no matter how large or heavily armoured they may be.<br />
Indeed, so effective are the Knights in this capacity that Imperial officers will do everything<br />
in their power to requisition the services of such a valuable military asset, never more so<br />
than when they are expecting to face a super-heavy or [[Titan]]-class threat.{{Fn|1}}<br />

[[Image:KnightPaladinNew.jpg|thumb|right|270px|A Knight Paladin]]<br />
'''Knight Paladins''' are the most common model of [[Imperial]] [[Knight]] walkers. The Knight Paladin can undertake a wide variety of roles in battle. Its long-range [[Battle Cannon]] gives it the capacity to provide fire support when needed. However, while a Paladin excels in this role, it is even more suited to close assault thanks to its giant [[Chainsword]] and all-terrain capability. These qualities also make Paladins not only effective at destroying large vehicles but also slaying monsters such as those fielded by the [[Tyranid]]s. For protection from enemy fire, the Knight Paladin can rely on powerful [[Ion Shield]]s. For secondary weapons the Knight Paladin is equipped with two [[Heavy Stubber]]s, one co-axially mounted with the Battle Cannon and the other in a swivel mount on its left chest.{{Fn|1}}<br />

[[Image:MinervanTankCommander.gif|thumb|right|A Minervan Tank Commander.]]<br />
'''Minervan Tank Legions''' are [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s from [[Minerva]]. They specialise in armoured vehicles, and are in fact regarded as a model for other [[Imperial Guard]] [[Armoured Regiment]]s to follow.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
==Recruitment & Training==<br />
Minervan Tank Legions are mixed regiments, including men and women in roughly equal numbers. They also include a higher than average number of [[officer]]s, with most of the Legion's armoured vehicles being commanded by a [[Lieutenant (Imperial Guard)|Lieutenant]].{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
Minerva has the industrial capacity to raise an entire Tank Legion every four years.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
==Organisation==<br />
Imperial scholars believe that the [[Armageddon]] [[1st Steel Legion]] was granted Minerva by [[Right of Conquest]] in [[M37]], so it is little surprise that the Minervan Tank Legions are very similar to the [[Armageddon Steel Legion]]s, the only differences being cosmetic details of uniform and vehicle patterns.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} <br />
<br />
The organisation of a Tank Legion is mostly the same as an Imperial Guard [[Infantry Regiment]], with a single tank counting as equivalent to a squad of [[Guardsmen]]. Up to five tanks make a squadron and up to five squadrons make a [[Imperial Guard Company|company]]. These are supplemented by armoured infantry, mine-sweepers, artillery, and other support vehicles.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} <br />
<br />
==Battle Style==<br />
Tank Legions officers have a firm grasp of tactics, and are noted for their victories over superior numbers. One-third of the Legions are fully amphibious, adding further tactical options.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
==Weapons & Equipment==<br />
The tanks of the Minervan are of very high quality. They also include several innovative applications of existing designs, which increases the type of combat they can be involved in. These types of combat include night fighting, desert warfare and amphibious assaults.{{Fn|1}}<br />
<br />
==Notable Regiments==<br />
*The '''10th Minervan Tank Legion''' were one of three regiments sent to defend Armageddon from [[Ork]]s during the [[Third Armageddon War]].{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} The 10th held part of the flank of the Imperial defences surrounding the [[Hive City]] of [[Death Mire]]. Taken by surprise and surrounded by Orks, [[General]] [[Belov]] ordered a break-out to rejoin other Imperial forces defending Death Mire. After five days of fighting the 10th finally broke out, but at a cost of over half their men and over three-quarters of their [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]]s.{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />
*The '''217th Minervan Tank Legion''' was an amphibious legion, which was also dispatched to protect Armageddon. They fought with other Legions and [[Ocanon Phalanx Troops]] on the [[Plains of Anthrand]]. They won several victories against the Orks of [[Gazgrim]], the [[Great Despot of Dregruk]], before being reassigned to the coast of the [[Armageddon (geography)|Tempest Ocean]] to stop the Orks landing a beachhead there. The 217th partially submerged its tanks to form a cordon of mobile pill boxes to drive off the Ork assault.{{Fn|1}}<br />

[[Image:RegimentOrg.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Structure of a typical Imperial Guard Regiment.{{Fn|8}}]]<br />
<br />
A '''regiment''' is the primary organisational unit of the [[Imperial Guard]], and of the [[Imperial Army]] ground forces before that. The size and composition of Imperial Guard regiments is not standardised across the [[Imperium]]; the number of individual [[Guardsmen]] alone can vary enormously between regiments, with some only a few hundred strong at founding-strength, whilst others possess tens of thousands of fighting troops.{{Fn|1}} <br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
The root of this non-standardisation is the fact that every world that produces Imperial Guard regiments has its own martial traditions, practices and experiences which all combine to dictate the manner in which its inhabitants choose to wage war. Despite this, it is possible to classify Imperial Guard regiments into different types by the nature of their equipment, training or battlefield role. An important point of similarity between regiments is also present in their organisation; each different regiment type is divided in a fairly similar manner within that classification.<br />
<br />
A regiment is divided into a number of fighting units notionally called [[Imperial Guard Company|companies]], each with a command staff of its own. Each company can consist of a number of further sub-units again notionally called [[platoon]]s, each platoon in turn being made of a number of individual [[Imperial Guard Squad|squads]] of Guardsmen. The actual terms used for these fighting units, their numbers and equipment typically varies somewhat between regiments.<br />
<br />
== Types of Imperial Guard Regiment ==<br />
===Light Infantry Regiment===<br />
A regiment formed up with no organic fighting or transport vehicles is known as a Light Infantry Regiment. These regiments display tendencies towards battlefield infiltration and reconnaissance, display skill at moving through all manner of difficult terrain and often possess highly effective [[sniper]] cadres. They tend to be somewhat deficient in heavy weapons options.{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />
===Drop Regiment===<br />
Some regiments exist within the Imperial Guard who specialise in arriving on the battlefield from the skies. Such regiments are termed Drop or Drop Troop Regiments. Lightly armed and equipped (although not as light as Light Infantry), Drop Troop Regiments typically attack from behind enemy lines, or are dropped right on top of enemy defences. All personnel in a Drop Regiment will be able to be equipped with [[grav-chutes]], although this is not their only method of attack. Such regiments will also feature a large amount of airborne vehicles such as the [[Valkyrie]] troop carrier or [[Vulture]] gunship.<br />
<br />
With no tanks or other heavily armoured vehicles to land in an assault, the highly mobile drop regiments are often tasked with forming the initial beachhead in an assault or capturing and holding an important location until the armoured reinforcements can arrive to relieve them. This means that the casualty rate amongst Drop Regiments tends to be higher than that of "regular" Imperial Guard units, as the regiments are ill equipped for a protracted fight with a superior force.<br />
<br />
Regiments of Drop Troops often make use of specially adapted equipment such as [[Drop Sentinel]]s, [[Cyclops Demolition Vehicle]]s and [[Sentry Gun]]s. These machines are often dropped into combat via Grav-chutes alongside the Troopers or deployed from the holds of Valkyries.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
===Infantry Regiment===<br />
A 'standard' Imperial Guard regiment will feature a predominance of fighting Guardsmen, as well as a number of organic fighting and transport vehicles. Despite being percieved as the most common of regiment types, the variation between Infantry regiments of different worlds will be marked.<br />
<br />
===Heavy Infantry Regiment===<br />
Similar in style to Infantry Regiments, Heavy Infantry Regiments are marked out by the personal equipment of their Guardsmen. Almost all troopers in a Heavy Infantry Regiment will be equipped with heavy armour, such as [[carapace armour]] or a more exotic design unique to their world of origin. Similarly, weapons issued will be of a 'heavier' nature with a preponderance of [[plasma gun|plasma]] or similar high-end energy weaponry issued to specialists and teams. It has been known for all troopers in a Heavy Infantry Regiment to be armed with [[hellguns]] instead of the standard Guard weapon, the [[lasgun]].{{Fn|4}} <br />
<br />
===Mechanised Infantry Regiment===<br />
A regiment where ''all'' infantry units possess their own organic transportation. Mechanised regiments feature a preponderance of the [[Chimera]] vehicle, but may also feature other transport vehicles, including designs unique to their homeworld. Mechanised formations can often be found providing support for armoured units, and may possess armour of their own, amongst other variations of fighting vehicle.{{Fn|2}}<br />
<br />
===Armoured Regiment===<br />
The hammer of the Imperial Guard, Armoured Regiments are made up entirely of fighting vehicles, and can be expected to field very high numbers of [[Leman Russ Battle Tanks]] or variants. Typically bereft of organic infantry, but many contain their own artillery and [[Hydra (Anti Air Tank)|flak tanks]]. Some Armoured Regiments may also possess [[Super Heavy Tank|Super-Heavy Tank]] units.{{Fn|3}}<br />
<br />
===Artillery Regiment===<br />
Regiments made up entirely of artillery pieces are known as Artillery Regiments. Such regiments can deploy a mixture of destructive weapons types or may specialise in a particular brand of long-range ordnance. Some such regiments contain small numbers of infantry and are likely to contain large amounts of transportation and anti-air vehicles. Since Artillery Regiments are not intended for direct frontline combat, they are generally much smaller then other Imperial Guard regiments. For this reason, Artillery Regiments are often attached as auxiliary units to larger regiments or are placed under the direct control of the local Commanding Imperial Officer.{{Fn|5}}<br />
<br />
===Siege Regiment===<br />
Regiments specifically trained for siege warfare often contain more artillery, both heavy and light, then standard Imperial Guard Regiments. Siege regiments often are larger and more well equipped then other types of regiments as they are expected to stay and fight in a warzone for at least several years if not decades if the war is particularly brutal. Due to the high casualties such regiments will inevitably take, siege specialised forces often have large contingents of conscripts so that the regiment's pool of manpower always remains high. Siege regiments often work in concert with Light Infantry or Armoured Regiments so that a breach in enemy lines can quickly be reinforced and if possible, pushed forward deeper. More well equipped siege regiments often have a large number of super-heavy and heavy tanks. {{Fn|6}}<br />
<br />
===Abhuman Regiment===<br />
[[Abhuman]]-populated worlds raise their own regiments of Imperial Guard, although very few in number. Because of the specific levels of competence and/or skills possessed by Abhumans, these regiments are normally raised only to be immediately split up into small units, which are then parcelled out and attached to other Imperial Guard regiments.{{Fn|7}}<br />
