Background

During the Horus Heresy, the Primarch Corvus Corax reorganized his Legion's badly depleted Shadow Wardens into the Black Guard and named Gherith Arendi as their commander.[7]

The Chapter believes in the timely application of overwhelming firepower to defeat their foes and are masters of the careful ambush. During battles they deploy massed batteries of Thunderfire Cannons and Vindicators to annihilate their enemies in an instant; as overkill or half measures are not concepts which the Black Guard understand. As a result of this, they are known to leave vast cratered ruins in the wake of their many victories.[9]
