9th Company (Raven Guard)
The 9th Company of the Raven Guard, known as "The Dirge Singers"[1a] or "The Dirgesingers"[3], is one of the Chapter's Reserve Companies.[1a][1b][3]
The 9th act as the Raven Guard's Fire Support Squad reserves. It is here that most recruits go after completing their training in the Scout Company. Often joined by Dreadnoughts, the Dirge Singers bring their heavy weaponry to bear upon the battlefield. Dreadnoughts hold great respect within the 9th, and they sometimes act as battlefield officers. The 9th operates formations known as the Chorus in which Dreadnoughts, Stormraven Gunships, and Fire Support Squads act together to deliver swift and punishing firepower to any point upon the battlefield. The 9th currently is notoriously hostile to Primaris Space Marines due to its conservative Shadow Captain, Vos Delorn.[1b]
