Third Covenant
The Third Covenant was an independent Blackshield warband of Space Marines of unknown allegiance that first appeared during the middle years of the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium. They operated across several sectors to the galactic north of the Great Core, into which they ultimately vanished towards the end of the Heresy. Several studies have been made of the Third Covenant in an effort to identify its members, but most have proven unsuccessful, as each Blackshield of this warband went to great lengths to conceal his origins. Known for operating in the region to the galactic north of the Great Core during the chaos of the Horus Heresy, the Third Covenant was especially secretive about its origins. Its members even renounced their own given names and used instead terms derived from other, more esoteric sources.

A Blank Page in the Codex
Every other tag on this site started out exactly like this one: empty, waiting on someone with a tablet, a brush or a camera. Right now Third Covenant is unclaimed.
Two ways to fill it
Artists: make something tagged Third Covenant and send it in. New work gets credited, linked and pushed out on the gallery socials.
Everyone else: if you have seen art that fits Third Covenant, send me the link. Finding the artist is my job, spotting the art is yours.
One bit of honesty: every piece on this site is hand-picked by me, so sending something in is not an automatic post. Art aimed at an empty tag like Third Covenant has a much better shot than most, because these are exactly the gaps I am trying to fill, but it is still a hopeful maybe rather than a guarantee. If a piece does not make it, that is no reflection on you or your work, so please keep them coming.
