Background

The Dark Hunters were founded in the dark days of the Occlusiad.[3c] Their first Chapter Master was Angnar, formerly a Captain of the White Scars.[7] The first campaign of the Dark Hunters saw them fighting against the Daemon Engines and corrupted Warlord Titan Repellus Maximal of Warpsmith Hilghar during the Battle of Bloodsteel. This has left a deep rooted mistrust against machines within their psyche. Even today, they have strained relations with the Adeptus Mechanicus.[3a]
