Black Guard

The Black Guard is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter and a rare Raven Guard Successor Chapter of the Second Founding. This Chapter believes in the timely application of overwhelming firepower to defeat their foes. Overkill or half-measures are not concepts which the Black Guard understand, and they are known to leave vast, cratered ruins in the wake of their many victories. Much of this Chapter’s history has been lost to the passage of time. The Black Guard’s origins lay in the dark days of the Horus Heresy with Gherith Arendi, the commander of the Raven Guard Primarch Corvus Corax’s honour guard, the Shadow Wardens.
