Tarnished Shield
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Tarnished Shield is a company of seven exiled Freeblade Knights, who came to the aid of the Hive World Phodiam after it was invaded by a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan and its Imperial relief force was lost to a Warp Storm. Though they were completely outnumbered, the Tarnished Shield's selfless sacrifice and heroic effort held the Tyranid swarms at bay long enough for over a third of Phodiam's populace to evacuate, before it fell to the Hive Fleet.[1]
Known Knights
